MARY'S REQUEST.
BY MRS. L. II. sIGoURNEY.

BY MRS. l.. ii. SlGOURNEHs
There was a shaded chamber,
A silent, watching hand,
On low couch, suffering child
Who grasped the mothers hand.
She told her faith in Jesus
Her simple prayer was said,
And now, that daTkened vale she trod,
Which leadeth TO the dead.
Red fever scorched her BOSOM
Frost chilled the vital flame,
And her sweet brow was troubled,
As anguish smote her frame.
Yet mid the gasp and Struggle,
With shudderlng lips she cried,
so, mother-dearest mother,
bury me by your side"
"But where will you be buried!--
My darling Mary-where!-
In the green, shady dell you loved,
With earliest volets fair!
Or in the ancient church-yarG,
" mere we N6IC hOIlt " otlhIS
Mid the white marble monuments,
My lutte Mary-say!"
But the thought of flowers had faded
The green dell charmed no more,
Dim grew those marble monuments,
With all their lettered lore.
And one lone image fingered
Bright mid the wreck Of earth
That love, with which her soul was knit
Even from the hour of birth.
One only wish she uttered,
While life was ebbing fast
"Sleep by my side, dear mother,
And rise with me at last"
IT'S DER, the spirit parted
With that long, tender moan
Check not thy grief, fond mother
Thou daughterless and lone:
Weep freely-Christ hath hallowed
The tear that nature wings
And see-how peaceful rests the clay,
That pain no longer stlngs.
Look! look!-the thin lip quvers,
The blue eyes open wide,
And what hallow whisper steals
"Bwy me by your side"
And did the spirit falter
Upon its upward track,
To sirew this never dying flower
In tender token back!-
Even at the gates of Heaven,
Whence songs ofangels How
Remembered it the cradle hymn
That soothed its infant wo'

CHARACTER OF PAUL JONES.
BY J. FENNIMoRE COOPER.

uThere can be no question but Paul
Jones was a great man. By this we
mean far more than an enterpriSing and
dashirg seaman. The auccess which at
tended exploits affected by very insuttla
Gent means, forms the least portion of his
claims to the character. His mind aimed
at high objects, and kept an even pace
with his elevated views. We have only
10 fancy such man at the head of force
like that with which Nelson achieved the
victory of the NiIe-twelve as perfect AND
we'll commanded two-decked ships as pro-
baby ever sailed in company-in order to
oct some idea what he would have done
with them, witha peerage or Westminster
Abbey in the perspective. No sea cap
tain. of whom the world possesses any au-
thenticated account, ever attempted pro-
iects as bold as those of Jones, or which
discovered more of the distinctive quail
ties of great mind, if the quality of his en-
emv be keptin view, as we'll as his own lin
tied and imperfect means. The battle be-
tween the Scraps and Richard had some
extraordiny peculiarites, beyond ques-
tion. and vet, as victory, it has been often
surpassed. The pecularities belong strict
~ 10 Jones; but we think his offering bat.
,le 20 The Drake, alone in his sloop, in the
centre of the Irish channel, with enemies
before, behind, and on each side of him
an act of higher naval courage than the
attack on the Scraps. Landais' extraor
binary conduct could not have been fore
seen. and it is only when Jones found him
selfreduced TO an emergency, in this affair
that he came out in his charactero OF lndoml
table resolution. But all the cruises OF tn
man indicated forethought, intrepidlty an
. intelligence. Certainly, no sea captain, un
der the American flag, has ever yet equal
led him in these particulars.
:. "That Jones had many defects OF chal
n acter is certain. They arose in part froI
temperament, and in part from education
5 His constant declarations of the deIicac
n of his sentiments, and of the dlslntere
,fI tedness of his services, through true IN tn
If main, were in taste that higher associ
IS tons in youth would probably have CO
If rected, There was ever a lottlness
,e feeling about him, that disinclined him
ID ouaIly 10 meanness and vugarlty; and
for the coarseness OF language and depo
ment that too much characterised the ha
r. its of the. in his time, he appears never
en- have Welded to them. All this was w
nv in itself, and did him great credit; but
,te would have been better had he spoken Ii
freouentlv of his exemption from So
failiugs, and not have alluded 10 them
often in his remarks on others
Independent Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1842-1844, 1843-08-12

HcTe was SOIilCtHluS III lH0 PCIsohd
character of Jones that weakened his hold
on his contemporaries, though it does not
appear to have ever produced "A want Of
confidence in his services or probity. Com.
Dale used 20 mention him with respect,
and even with attachment: often calling
him Paul, with a degree of affection that
spoke we'll for both parties. Still, it is not
to be concealed that a species of inde6in-
lite distrust clouded his reputation even in
America, until the industry of his bIogra-
pliers, by means of indisputabe documents
and his own volumInous correspondence
succeeded in placing them before the pub
lie in light too unequivocaly respectable
to leave any reasonable doubts that public
sentiment had silently done him injustice.
The power of England, in the way of opin-
ion, has always been great in this country,
and it is probable the discredit that nation
threw on the reputation of Jones produced
an influence, more visible in its results
than in its workings, on his standing even
with those he had SO well served.
" In person, Jones was of the middle
stature, with a complexion that was color
less, and with a skin that showed the ex.
posure of the sea. lie was we'll formed
and active. His cotemporaries have des'
crlbcd him as quiet and unpresuming in
his manners, and Of rather retiring deport-
ment. The enthusiasm which ran in so
deep a current in his heart was not Of the
obtrusve sort nor was il apt TO appear
until circumstances arose to call il into
action; then it seemed TO absorb all the
other properties of his being. Glory, he
constantly avowed, was his aim, and there
is reason to think he did not mistake his
own motives IN this particular. 1t is
perhaps to be regretted that his love OF
glory was so closely connected with his
personal vanity; but even this is better
'han the glory which is sought as an instru-
ment of ruthless power.
'lfau author may be permitted to quote
from himself, we shall conclude this sketch
by adding what We have olIendy SAID, by
way of summary, Of this remarkable man,
in a noe to the first edition OF the History
of The United States Navy-viz: "in battle
Paul Jones was brave; in enterprise hardy
and original; in victory mild and generous
in motives much disposed to disintercsted
ness, though ambitious of rcnown and GOV
etous Of distinction: in his pecuniary re
lations, liberal; in his affections natura
and sincere: and in this temper except IL
those cases which assailed his reputation
Just and forgiving" That these goo
qualities were without alloy it would b
presumptuous TO assert; but it appears Ger
tain that his defects were relieve by hig
proofs of greatness and that his deed
we're no more than the proper results
the Impulses, talents and intrepidty of tn
man,
