LINES WRITTEN AT SEA.

BY PARK BENJAMIN
The sails are settle breeze is fair
Before US smiles the sea
10, how yon halcyon skins the air,
As rapid and as free,
Our vessel bends her easy flight:
While DER the waves we wait good night
Our native land, to thee
All mingles there no fond regret,
With this low bTeaih'd farewell
Were not our eyes with tear drops wet,
When last they sadly fell
Upon thy features, mother earth
On scenes familiar from oar birth,
On mountain, wood ana dell
Bel there no hearts in this dear cline,
Whose feelings are eur own,
Thu we shall meet, unchanged BY time
" len days ana wears have flown,
An homevard o'ar the flashing deep,
Or gallant ship shall sweep
Llke y0h swirl bird alone
o., stay thy wing, thou speeding bird.
And to cur native shore
Bear on thy flight the simple word,
Farewell . when day IS Ger
When DAY Is Ger and near thy nest.
Upon some crag's wind sheltered breast
II! eircling pin.ons soar.
Het there is music in the waves,
Though sad cur parting be
And Joy, deep Joy, TO him VINO braves
TIE dangers OF the sea.
Or, who could live in PEACE at home,
When on the waters be might rcam,
As gltrlous.y Is We
Then let Us dash away the tear
That trsmeles IN our eve;
There should be nnaght but happy cheer
Between the sea and sky,
The sails are set--the breeze is fair
And Ike, yon bird along the air,
san shall our vessel fly.

It rather cold comfort, for Il was 10 the
month Of December. HIS murderers-as
he was forced to view ihem-would seize
him by the head, aud holding il under the
water, would rub il, aud pull at il like hun
Cry ducks "lighling on June bugs" He
stood it manlully, like martyr,-and af
ter holding his breath under water until he
almost burst bis boiler, with tremendous
effort, he would throw his head above the
surface, and snortng like sea horse, blow
the water far and near. THIS was rare
sport TO his tormenlors, who, scarcely Civ.
ing him time to breathe, would pounce up.
on his red head, and expose him to the same
operation again.
This was repeated until the Colonel was
almost used up, and the squaws themselves
seemed to be tatlgued. Finally our hero
discovered that they had been trying to
wash the red off his hair, and bring it to
the Natural color. The Indians had never
before seen man with red hair; his ap.
pearance therefore surprised them; and Of.
ter trying in vain 10 wash the red paint off,
they completely crapped him, aud each one
taking a part Of the curiosity, carefully
. wrapped it up in a rag.
They then led him into the village again.
where they kept hun for several weeks
Finally, making the Colonel present Of q
dozen tine mules, they allowed him 10 elope
and he has never returned to thank them
Tor their hosPitaIity.-PicGyR

THE MADAWASKA REPRESEN-
TATIVE

Now such a contingency might happen
and what say you, gentlemen locos,--if
John Baker or some one else, should be
returned tothe next Legislature, from MAD
AwAsKA-would you permit him to hold
seat? or would you "allow him to return
home upon his giving his parole of honor?
In the event Of such an election, let US
look moment at what would follow. His
credentials are presented and he is direct
ed to the Council Chamber, where, Gov.
Fairfield administers to him the oath "to
support the Constitution of the United
States and of this State, so long as he
shall CONTINUE CITIZEN THEREOF!
The Committee on Elections will have his
case under grave consideration, and they
would prove most satisfactorily, "the broad
and palpable" (tweedle DUN and tweedle
dee) difference there is between jurisdic-
ton, and an agreement to give the British
possession of our territory, which possess
sion we stipulated not to DISTURB. In vain
would he argue, demonstrate and appeal;
and point to the solemn act of the Legisla-
ture of Maine, incorporating the town OF
Madawska and giving to it the right to e.
lsct Represenatve;-he would stand
mute, if he received, even no better an
| swer tan, that our Government in their
wisdom, had deemed it advisable to yield
our Territory and Citizens to the protec-
ton of the British Government, for the very
'ample indemnify that Sir John Harvey
would "BACK OCT."!M He takes his
credentials and posts of FOR Fsederickton,
where they may be Of more service to him
in the Provincial Assembly of New Drums
wick-though he might appear little awk-
ward, if called upon to vote for an appro-
priaton to expel the American forces from
Madawaska, should they attempt to regain
their lost territory.

bo, and Immediately repaired to the west
coast. On his arrival, after endeavoring
(unsuccessfully) to negotiate for the dellv-
cry of the Mandarines, and restitution OF
the stolen property, Qualla Battoo was
bombarded two hours on the ODD Decem-
ber-one fort destroyed. and the other con-
sderably injured. On the LIST January,
MGclie was burnt by Columbia and John
Adams After cannonading the place 400
men were landed from the ships, and the
town and forts destroyed, with a considera'
bic quantity of peppe,-neither ship sus-
tanned any loss-the Maylays all retreated

captured in the Eclipse was recovered.

LATER FROM ENGLAND. AND
NINE DAYS FROM FRANCE.

The packet ships Shakespeare and Bow
ditch, from Liverpool, and Iecumseh and
Louis PHILIPPE, from Havre, have arrived.
BY the former we have London and Liver
pool dates to the 9th ult., and the latter,
Havre and Paris dates to the I'd inst.
The money market of London, on the
24th nit. remained in the same cheerful po-
stion as in the accounts by the Liverpool.
The funds, both American and Foreign, all
exhibited tendency to rise during the pre-
ceding three DAYS. and the transactions IN
American securities had also been very
considerable and extensive. The princl-
pie business had been i'll shares OF the u.
S. Bank, which were firm at ia los. )
and the other stocks in which transactions
are known to have occurred, are Ohio per
cent. at % 99-at the lower quotations
one transaction of 1923 600 having taken
place; Mississippi sterling at 63; Illinois
92-with 500, 900 in one transaction at %;
and Indiana small amount at the some
what lower quotation of 81.
AT Paris, ON the 30th ult., money was
tight and the avenues of business closed
up. The Bankers had determined TO close
their Golfers until the termination of the
ministerial embarrassment. 1t is said that
there had been within a short time more
than hundred failures.
Another new cabinet was rumored, COM
posed of NJ. NJ. Soult, De Brogle, Passy,
Ducha,el, Tesle, rSauzet, Cunin-Gridaine
aud Duperre; butt was thought that such
a combination could not live.

of any special Importance to the United
States,

Thus, Or similarly reads the celebrated
lines of the Poet. With some, the doc
lrne involved in this text, is eagerly en-
braced, and we might add, as eagerly prac-
ticed upon; with others, however, the SEN
liment is carefully examined, and in many
instances, entirely discarded. 1t appears
to us that the doctrine is good, if properly
applied; or In other words, that with ur:nds
properly constituted, or judiclously disci
pliaed, the remark might justly be applied,
while on the other hand, with minds differ
emily formed, or loosely disciplined, the re-
verse would prove correct.
For instance, take II person, in whom
the moral ard intellectual faculties, are the
governing organs, whose intellectual pow
els are strong, and whose Conscientious
ness would lead him to abhor eviI-com-
bined with firnness, appropriateness and
proper self esteem, and we will vouch for
him, that however much of vice he may
witness, the effects will only tend to
strengthen him in yirtuous principles, and
make him "perfect in every good work.
To person, answering to the above des-
crIpton, vice always appears, under all cir
cumstances however alluring in its forms,
in its naked delormiiy, sickening him to
the very heart, and preparing him to profit
by the fiery ordeals, through which, he
may be called to pass. To him, vice, is
always that hideous and frightful fend,
" That to be hated-nceds but be seen!'
Again, persons of a different consltu-
ton of mind, deficient in the moral and ir-
tellectual capacities, and under the control
of the propensites, will find to their sor
row, that they will be far from standing
this test-that however hateful vice, in re-
allty may be. still with them, this monster,

THE FREsHEr. The late heavy rains,
have caused immense damage, on the Ken
nebec above US especially at Augusta and
Hallowell. Above the dam at Augusta,the
river has made a new passage, passing
round the western end of the dam, with
great force, and carrying in its course sever
al buildings, among others, the dwellings
of the late Judge Bridge, and Of his son Z.
T. Bridge. The canal connected with the
dam is undermined, and part of the torrent
sweeping through its bed. The road be-
side the river is also torn away. The mills
lately erected near the dam, were under
mined and thrown into the river, and crush
ed to pieces, and the dam rendered entire
ly useless, as the expense of stopping the
new channel, would fully equal the first
cost of the dam.

calm. could not steer the schr For get out
of the way. The steamer merely stopped
her wheels rung the bell few minutes and
proceeded on her way although hailed and
reonested not to leave the schr. No notice
was taken of the schr, no questions asked
nor answers made, although Cap, Colcord
thinks that the vessels were not more than
100 Yards apart when so hailed. When
the steamboat struck one of her tunnels

time to have cleared the schr if they had
had watch forward: he is of the opinion
they had no watch on deck but the man at
the wheel
We think the above account must be ex-
apgerated, as we have seen several of the
passengers, who entiry concur in the YER
sion, as we gave it in our last, aud we may
here add, that Capt Kimball's statement,
which contradicts the above, also agrees, in
the main points with ours.
