can be no exhibition Of far-gone wretch
edness, more striking and painful, than
TO meet it in such scene. To find II

it dressed out in the trappings Of mirth,
and looking wan and wo begone. as

splendid and giddy crowd n an air of

by her conviction of her own destitut2

existing on the kindness Of her friends.

solemn assurance that her heart was

She was an amiable and exemplary
wife, and made an effort to be a happy

A LETTER FROM THE REV.
JOHN LELAND.

We take great pleasure in ptesen.
ting to our readers this morning, ex.
tracts from letter written within a
few days by the Rev. Mr.. LELAND, Of
Cheshire, to the editor of this paper.
Through life of four score years.
Mr.. l.. has been as upright and con-
scientious in his political conduct, as
in his character as teacher of divine
truth. In the contest between adams
and Jefferson, he was one of Mr.. Jeffer-
sons most influential supporters, and
after the election of the sage of Mon
ticello to the Presidential Chair, he
was made the organ of the farmers in
Western Massachusetts, for presenting
TO the Chief Magistrate of the nation
the famous "Cheseirc Cheese" This
evidence Of the agricultural skill and
wealth ofthe democratic yeomanry Of
New England, was received by the
President with peculiar pleasure, and
was considered by him the highest
compliment he could enjoy. II is the
yeomanry Of the country who now sus-
tain the spresent democratic admins
iration-with them resides the pure
spirit Of democracy-thev are the
watchers of tic sacred flame, and their
vigilance will never allow it to be ex-
tinguished. But VIC are OBTAINING our
readers too long from the wisdom of
experience which flows below
BANK AND PEOPLE.
''Nine hundred banks, containing
three hundred millions stock, with nine
hundred Presidents, nine hundred
Cashiers, and nine hundred bank Law
yers. FIVE thousand Directors, (all in
luential characters,) fifty thousand dea-
lcrs on bank credit, great portion Of
thc members Of Congress, and of the
state legislatures, who hold stock in
banks, fifty thousand insolyents who
want government to pay their debts
one hundred thousand Office seekers,
from the presidential chair down to the
lowest clerkship with multitude who
have itching propensities for new things.
All these form mighty host; flanked
on one wing with anti.masons, and on
the other with abolitionists; with a rear
guard ofconservators, and many scout
ING parties beside.

NATURES CHARMS.

o how canst thou renounce the boundless
store
OF charms which nature to her votary yields!
The warbling woodland, the resounding shore,
The pomp Of groves, and garniture of fields,
All that the genial ray of morning gilds,
And all that echoes to the song of even:
All that the mountains shelt'ring bosom shields,
And all the dread magnifcencc of Heaven,
0 how canst thou renounce, and hope to be
forgiven. Beattie.

CREATIONS WORSHIP.

ChEA lON . WORpI1lI.
When Wisdom spoke the bright word rose
To music from an angel band,
Soft as an evening fountain flows,
Yet loud as Deity's command.
The skies were curtaii,ed DER with blue,
And planted thick with starry eyes,
For seraphim to wander through
To see the young creation rise.
The sun on heavens tallest tower,
The moon maiden ofthe night
One rolls his orb Of fame in power,
The other borrows from his light.
The silver streams in shady groves,
Tune mellow voices ofrcpose,
The birds of song rehearse their loves,
While every flower with beauty glows
The ocean with its sounding floods,
The thunder trumpet deep ana strong,
The whirlwind twisting up the woods
All roar the volumed praise along.
Creation bright--creation fair,
From man to what no eye can see,
Their Makers boundless love declare,
Wide as his own infnity. M. A. III.

NATURES BouNTIEs.

care not, Fortune! what you me deny:
You cannot rob me of fee natures grace,
You cannot shut the windows of the sky,
Through which Aurora shows her bright ming
face;
You cannot bar my constant feet to trace
The woods and lawns. by living stream at eve
Let health my nerves and finer fbrcs brace,
And their toys to the great children leave.
Of fancy, reason, virtue, nought can me be-
reave. Thomson.

NATURES WANTS.

Mans rich with little, where his judgment
true;
Nature is frugal, and her wants are few;
Those few wants answered bring sincere de
lights,
But fools create themselves new appetites.
Fancy and pride seek things at vast expense,
Which relish not to reason nor to sense.
When surfeit or unthankfulness destroys,
In natures narrow sphere, our solid joys,
In fancy's airy land of noise and show:
Where nought but dreams, no real pleasures
grow,
Like cats in air pumps, to subsist we strive
On joys too thin to keep the soul alive.
Young.
