eye were quen ched and closed which burning light
among yon lustrous crowd should there fore know
dimness or diminution? Is it not blessed Always
10 behold ye 2--'tTicc blessed, when lips which
have smilN an,i been answered in kindness, or the
voico which was welcome and watched for, above
all are no longs. beside us? When the past alone
comes on our memory, in pleasantness, and hope,
and beauty, and ask Of the brightness of the fu-
tire, where it is then, with eye save that
which that ye were perfect, upon Us. should
we not read con isolation in your quiet glory?-a
promise in your pure and endless reign?
oh, it is bitter to behold first, first dream de-

feelings as have been cherished iondly and ire.

prayer, the morning hope, the hourly incense OF

IMPORTANT. THE I,EEI,HLVG

NFINFANTS. The time of dentition is n most
W important period of the infant state, and sub
iect it to many complaints and dangers. Above a
tenth part of infants die this particular uncture,
by symptoms proceeding from tho irritation of the
exqulsitely sensible nervous part of the gums which
eventually induce fever, inflammation, gangrene,
twitching of the tendons, convuls'ons, &c; which
formidable symptoms can at all times be obviated
from causing such infautile mortality, by mothers
and nurses promptly alaying the local irritation of
the parts. TO effect this desirable oblcc:, Doctor
j. L. Purish's celebrated Syrup for LNFANTILE
IEETYLNG is unrivaled, when applied to the in
fnts gums, (nccordngt to the directions) it univer
sally PRODUCES immediate relief; is so pleasant and
and pallia,ing that all babes will ins!nctively allow
the gums to be rubbed with it. This remedy has
saved thousands of infants from recurrence of
that fatal omplaint-couvulsion s-evon after the
child had several attacks of the n,alady! Sold at

MASSACRE AT THE RIVER RAISIN.
In the Michigan forest the night wind was high'
Fast lrlGlcd the through the bleak winter sky;
The trees cliffs & mountains, were hoary and cold
And the dark waves of Raisn CONCEALED as they
rolled.
The wilderness deepened its horror and gloom,
And nature seemed wrapt in the sheet of the tomb;
While the how of the tempest and ice grating surge,
With heart chilling notes sang her funeral dlrge
The beast of the desert had gone to his home;
Jba wolf ceased to prowl and the otter TO roam,
Wbie the boot the owl nor the bald eagles scream
With omen Of i'll broke tho Wyandous. dream.
The whoop and the yell of the savage were still;
No longer the watch-fre seen from the hill,
For the war song and dance round the captives were
closed,
And wrapt in his blanket the warrior reposed.
O who could have dreompt ere the morning should
brake,
That, The warrior the veil ofthe savage should wake.
AT an hour so dreary, what bosom would fear,
That lurking in ambush the Britain was near.
If an hour there was when the soldier might dose,
Ard dream on his station secure from his tees,
'1wero moment like this, dark dismal and rude
At the waning of night in the depth Of the wood.
The hiss from the serpent the grow from the bear,
When danger is near bids the victim prepare;
But how shall the night wildered sentinel know
What bush hides his brother or deadliest foe.
No sound from the bugle no beat from the drum,
Proclaimed that the Britain and Indian had come,
Till his veil for the onset the Chippewa raised
And lighted with cannon the wilderness blazed
At intervals cleaned in the light of the FASH
The scaping knife hung to the broad crimson sash,
And tomahawk lifted TO strike or to throw,
And tho red poom that waved Ger the fierce
painted brow
A, the head of those warriors in armor all sheen,
The foremost in battle Tecumseh was seen;
More fierce was his aspect, more hideous his form
And louder his voice than the demon of storm.
How dread was the conflict, how bloody the fray,
Told the banks of the Rasin at the dawning ofday
Where. gushed from the wounds of the dying and
dead,
Had thawn for the warrior snow sheeted bed
Q where is the pride that a hero should feel
TO temper with wrong the wrath of his steel,
Whom Proctor victorious denied to the bravo
Who had fallen in battle, the gift oc grave.
But vet shall Brttania remember the morn,
When reeking the scalps from The living were torn
And the coarse of her slain by his sanction were
given
TO the beasts of the field and the vultures of heaven

TO A CHILD EMBRACING HIS MOTHER
Love thy mother little one
Kiss and clasp her neck again;
Hereafter she may have son
Will kiss and clasp her neck in vain
Love thy mother, little one
Gaze upon her living eyes,
Aud mirror back her love for thee;
Hereafter thou may st shudder signs
To meet them when they cannot sec.
Gaze upon her living eyes
Press her lips the while they glow
With love that they have often told;
Hereafter thou may'st press in wo,
And kiss them till thine own are cold
Press her lips the while they glow
o! revere her raven hair
Although it be not silver-grey,
Too early death, led on by care,
Nav snatch, save one dear lock away
O, revere her raven hair
Pray for her at eve and morn,
That Heaven may long the stroke defer,
For thou may'st live the hour forforn
When thou wilt ask to die with her.
Pray for her at eve and morn
