LIFE IN DEATH.
Tho veil has dropped. Her spirit now
Intense with life, hath scared above;
And dweIleth where t,e Seraphs bow,
And sing their holy hymns of love.
The seed hath sprung into tree,
The flower hath burst its bud. the immortal
soul is free.
Oh, death is full Of life! Naught dies
But that which should. Earth takes lis own,
That the ethereal may arise,
And dwell by the eternal throne.
Death is the full outshining light
OF that unending mora which knows no night.
Death can but take his own. The earth
Can only ask what she did give;
Then IL, the heaven born mind have birth,
That it eternally may live.
Oh! let Il cast its outer frame.
And rise. sliving soul to lin from whom II came.
Gaze on that form. Nay,-lit thine eye
And gaze above.-She is not here;--
She hath arisen to worlds on high,
And dwelleth 10 Il purer sphere.
This frame Of dust she hath laid down,
To gain robe Of light and celestial crown.
The veil has dropped Her inward eye
lIas seen the mysteries Of God.
And onward through the star paved sky,
Mid heavens bright glory she has trod;
Angels are guiding her along.
While her sweet voice unites in their triumeh-
ant song. r. C.. w.

in N. York, last week, and l walked

op II. He is truly a polished and elo.
quent man; and there is something in
your mode Of worship, SO systematic
aud so much in accordance with decen-
cy and order, and so much the opposite
ofihat wild, ranting kind Of worship, that
| have fallen in love with It. You see
here, | have purchased me a Common
Prayer Book. The organ and choir in

op the next morning, and obtained an in

Lanyer. How do you do, brother M.
| call you brother, because my parents
were Methodists, and when | was a
child, the preachers used to visit our
house, and used to call them all "broth-
err" from hearing my father and mother
call them so. Ii is singular how strong
the impressions OF childhood are.--'
Though do not profess religion, yet |
always feel more at home in n Metho-
dist meeting, than in any other. And
yet do not know whether this arises so
much from the force Of my early impress
sions, as from that simplicity peculiar TO
your worship, and which is so congeni-
al with my taste. was riding through

site piece Of woods heard the sound
of singing. Immediately discovered
there was camp-meeting in the vicini-
ty, and Notwithstanding my business was
very urgent, could not resist my incli-
nation to attend. So l tied my beast TO
tree, and after walking a mile, | came
to the camp-ground. The first object
that met my eye was the Presiding Ell
der, Brother G, appealing in a most e.
vangelical manner to the people, who
were seated beneath the shading branch
es of the surrounding forest. How for

attended your meeting in the school,

edited with the sermon. Your preach.
ers, whether right or wrong, are certain

did imagery in his sermon, and his argu-
ments, admitting the premises, we're GER
tainly irresistible. l should nave been
pleased to invited him home with me
but my wife was rather out of health that
evening. cannot see, for my part, why
people should be SO ptejudiced against
yout sentiments. They are certainly
very much misrepresented. There is
one thing people say about your doctrine,
however, which is true; and that is, that
"it is extremely captivating" And as
for its influence, can say that many of
our best citizens are Unversa!ists.-,

ABoRIcINEs.-At the time of its first
settlement by the whites, Long Island
was occupied by thirteen tribes Of In.
Giahs, viz 1.-The Canarse, the Rockaway,
the Morikoke, the Nlarsapeague, the
Secatogue, and the Patchogue, on the
south side-the Matinecoc, the Ms
saquaguc, the Setauket; and the Cor
chang on The north side-the Shinecoc,
the Manhanset, and the Montauk, from
the Conoe place or Montauk point Of
these the Montauks were the most nu-
merous and warlike, and exercised a
kind Of sovereignty over the others, all
Of whom they had overrun and reduced
to tributaries.
These tribes, we believe, are now ex-
tinct, with the exception of the Mon
tnuks, ID or 90 Of whom reside on a
promontory at the east part Of the island
called Montauk point. They subsist by
fishing and cuItivating n little land-are
extremely indolent, and Of melancholy
aud desponding turn Of mind, no doubt
induced by the contemplation Of their
former strength and their present weak
ness, and the evidently near approach of
their final extinction; reflections we'll
calculated TO awaken sad thoughts and
pensive musings in their desolate situa-
ton. In the history of the ascendency
and declensIon of these tribes, the pen of
the sentimentalist might find ample
materials for an interesting romance
