YOUTH, THE FOUNTAIN, AND ACE.
Ry the author Of "Dea.h's Distractions" &c
a caIeess child ran down a mountain si.le
He laughed with joy,
That happy boy,
His hcalthtnl heart with grief had never sighed !:
From the mountain
Sprang fountain,
Fen pure as chrystal was the limpid stream,
And as it flowed.
The boys cheek glowcd
With rapture yet how soon IS dispeled joys
dream.
"Whither, sweet fountain, do thy waters flow %
So spoke the child,
In accents mild,
As he lay down npon the sward below,
Watching the spray,
In the SUMS ray.
Ofthe clear sparkling drops that fell around;
Like diamonds thrown,
Or pcarl-lc,s strewn;
Richly o'ersprcading the soft emerald ground.
The breeze was hushed; the very leaves were
mute,
Not cen bird,
Within them stirr'd:
When, 10! voice, soft as mellow Cute,
Breathed out in signs
Soft symphonies;
Which stole upon the senses Of the child -
His futtering breath
Came calm as death;-
The fountain spoke in doleiul accents mild.
Gas thou art, so am I-of earth,
Who caused thy being, gave me birth;
I've flowed, aye, for a thousand years,
Amidst a vale of human tears:-
From me great rivers trace their source,
To the mighty sea my waters course;
And much of storm, wreck, death, l wccn,
Hath passed midst my once calming stream
| And SO life's changes, child, will be
| To thee rough, tcmpestuous -
! Youth is the fountain spring Of life
| That rushes to the sea of strife;
! When manhood comes thou'lt sadly know
! sWhither LIES sweet waters fow'"
Then all was silent save the ripping sound
The waters made;
! A transient shade
Flushed DER the spirit of the boy,-who found,
i He knew not why,
A deep drawn sigh
Gush from bis heart; the pang soon fed away,
Midst breathing smiles,
Fen such sweet guilcs,
As snnbeams lighting up an April day.
Onward he flew along his merry path,
Unhceded he
Or destiny;
And those dark cankering griefs which Sorro,
hath
Garner'd for man,
Through his brief span;
Away, away, the rosy laughing boy
Danced DER the flowers;
Times precious hours
Sped priceless by,-his life knew no alloy.
Years merged into the nothingness of Time;
.. The golden hair,
And beauty fair,
OF the sweet child were gone; for many elm
! Had preyed upon
The lovely one;
He had seen raging war, famine, and plague,
Stalk through the land,
: A CHASTITY band;
At length his mind became chaos-vague.
Near the grey ruin Of fountain stood.
;. Palsied and wan,
|. An ancient man,
= Stricken in soul-yet in no sullen mood;
ssFountain,'' said he,
ssMost true 10 me,
!, Did'st thou presage my future lot of strife,
Yet see thy tide
Is nearly dried;
Thou,,t ever ceasc-mine is immortal life!'

When

up Of the size Of turkeys egg. When
the tornado struck the Taunton river,
the water was carried up from $50 to
200 #. into the air. In passing from
Somerset it took that beautiful row Of
large buttonwood trees in front Of Mr..
Barnaby's in Freetown and stripped
them at one fell sweep. One building
in Somerset village, l6 feet square was
taken up and carried l2 rods, and in
its course came in contact with slOOp
being at the wharf, when both sunk to-
gether. All the shipping in its wake
were broke from their moorings, and
one large vessel capsized. Two men
were severely injured by the falling of
the broken fragments. A Wagon and
horse with 9 ladies' were blown against
the wall, the ladies were blown over
the wall, and whirlcd about ike an in
natcd balloon. What other damage
was done we have not learnt. 1t must
have been great.

FRoM IIAvANA.-Yestcrdny there were no
less than three arrivals in this port from Tia.
vana. All wns quiet in Cuba. There were
30 or 40 American vessels in port, md the
yellow fever prevailed among persons non
acclmated. We are told that five or six vcs-
sells, from the coast Of Africa, arrived within
the last fortnight in Havana, aud that they
had previously succeeded in landing their
slaves on the coast Of Cuba.
A report was current that the pariisnns OF
Don Carlos had succeeded in making them
selves masters Of the island of Porto Rico.an
that frigatc which had sailed from Havana,
with troops, to mnintoin the Queens autbori-
iy, had been fred on, and driven of.
l.. s. Since the above has been put in
type. we have scen Havana papers as ,a,c as
the 13,h inst. which make no mention Of the
rcpulse Of the frigatc. Former accounts re-
ceived at Havana had left the island Of Porto
Rico in possession of the insurgents, except.
ing the fort at st. John's,in which the Queens
Governor had taken refuge.
II will be seen that the necessities Of the
Queen have led 10 the imposition of addition.
al burdens upon the island " Cuba. AS this
tax will more or less affect every mans
means Of existence, it inay possibly lead the
people to count the cost Of their allegiance.
We have already heard of disturbances
among the troops /; we should not be greatly
surprised 10 hear of the people of the island
maniiesting their discomfort also.-- .Nw Or.

A WIrCm.-One Of the most amusing in
cidcnts of the late whirlwind occurred in
Cranston. An old woman who has long
earned an honest penny by telling fortunes
and promising rich husbands and handsome
wives to the inquiring damsels and swains,
stood in her door, broom in hand, when the
tornado passed in its fury; she was borne
ulolt in the whrlwind amidst trees torn up
by their roots, the ruins of houses, and what
ever else had lain in the path Of the tempest
but true to her character, she rode ont the
storm uninjurcd. The suspicion long enter.
tained that the old woman holds converse
with spirits Of another world, has thus be-
come certainty.-ILid.

| MAINE.-The result Of the election
in this State, which is to take place on
Monday next, will be looked for (says
the Salem Rcgistcr) with intense inter
est, by the Wings throughout the Uni
on. as, in addition to the State officers,
the entire delegation TO Congress is to
be chosen, and upon the next Legisla-
turc will devolvc the appointment Of n
u. S. Senator for six years. The most
desperate means will be resortcd to, by
the adherents ofthc administration, and
the Wings have to contend against the
power and patronage of the Federal
Government, operating through its hun
dreds of custom-house and other Off
GERS scattered through the State. The
great struggle will be for the Lcgisla-
turc, but We have very strong hopes
that the Wings will succeed notwith-
standing the tricks and artifces of their
opponents. We understand that tho
Loco Focos have been making arrange
mcnts to obtain the asccndancy in towns
which gave small majority against
them, by introducing voters, from towns
where they are not needed, and employ
ing them as mechanics, laborers, &c.
within few months past-the Consti-
tuition requiring but three months resi-
dence in a town, to qualify voter
We rejoice to see the spirit manifested
by the Wing Press throughout the State
"a spirit which promises the best re-
suits. Our friends there feel sanguinc
that KENT will receive n majority of
the votes of the pcoplc-but after the
experience of the last year, they deem
il highly important to obtain majority
in the Legislature, in order that the
voice Of the people may not be defeat
ed, as was then attempted by some of
the Loco Foco leaders.

The THAMES TUNNEL.--There ap-
pears TO be an unexpected obstacle to
the immediate completion Of the Thames
Tunnel. Mr.. Walker, distinguished d
engineer, has recently at the instance
Of The Government made II report on this
great undertaking. lie is decidedly OF
opinion that it would he mprudent to
carry on the excavation farther without
adopting some plan for giving greater
solidity to the bottom Of The river, be-
tween the Nlid,llcsex shore and the point
which the shield has now reached =
The ground under this part of the river
is composed of materials so loose, that il
would be an incalculnble expense, as
we'll as a dangerous experiment, to pro-
ceed further will, the shield under pres
ent circumstances. Mr.. Walker recon-
mends that two rows OF close piles should
be driven into the bed Of the river, one
row OF each side Of the line Of the tun-
mel, SO that the tops of the piles shall be
as high as the tide ut low water, and
that the space between the rows after
having been emp,ied Of the earth, sand,

siderable time must then be allowed for
