@ By Rev kIr Tfi ho1T Tins Parts Part
The author, in modest preface, tells US that
these compositions appear in compliance with the
wishes of many friends, and that they are but
the overhowings OF emotions which ycarn for
sympathy, though too unambitious to contend
for fame We have read them with pleasure,
and cannot resist The conviction that the writer
deserves all the sympathy he asks, and moro
Tie first Canto only Of the principal Poem, the
'Chaun. of LIFE appears in the Part now before
us. As q specimen OF It's character, We copy the
following stanza, in which the author pays
tribute of affectonate reverence to his Father.
Now let me call up from the misty Past,
The venerable one twas mine 10 love
Till maniIood's years upon my brow had cast
Their boding shadows;-he is row above
Nor would bring him thence,-but oh, 10 greet
That reverend form once more how sweet, how
Father need not haunt thy resting place, sweet.
Nor send my thoughts 10 seek among the best
Thy care-worn countenauce again TO trace
Here lives thy image in this burning breast.
And here it still shall glow, nor ever fade,
Till low beside thee thy lone child is laid.

FROM LlBERIA.-The last arrival from Africa
brings favorable accounts of the condition and pros
poets of the American Colonies on the coast.
The Methodist Episcopal Church has three places
OF worship among the colonists al Cape Paimas.-
The Rev. John Seye, in an interesting account OF
mis- tour round the various stations, thus describes
them:
"One at Harper, little town on the summit of
the cape where the Government House is located,
one at Mount Emory, aboat mile in the interior,
and u substantial little church at Tubman towp,
three miles farther still. The people at Harper can
easily attend at Moont Emory, but il is somewhat
nconvenirnt fer all the fubman members and
meeting in their own eighborheod, and accordingly
all went out 10 Tubman and enjoyed delightful
season. They plain, unrefned, but honest and
spiritual people. used TO love much to so out TO
thar part Of the circuit and preach the word of life
10 them"
Dir. Seys accepted an invitation TO visit the mis-
sion station at Cavala, under the care of the Rev.
John Payne, Of the Protestant Episcopal mission.
He thus speaks OF IL:
Mr. Payne's mission establishment IS perfect
model for others. ! have never seen greater order,
decorum, and regularity any where. There are two
Schools for boys, and the other for girls. These
are all natives with but one or two exceptions
Mrs. Payne has the entire charge of the female de-
parIrnent, which is in separate building altogeth
er from the boys school At the time Of my visit
they had twenty eight boys and seventeen girls
The regular complement of girls is twenty, but
during Mr.. and Mrs. Payne's temporary absence
last year at the time Of The difficulties with the
tives one of these lille girls was incidentally
drowned, one had gone TO visit her parents and
another was sick. The parents Of these children
live mostly in the immediate neighborhood, ard
keep up constant intercourse with them.
. | did not visit The girls school, but with the
boys was perfectly delighted. The exercises in
reading, Bible history, geography, the elements Of
natural philosophy, arithmetic, and writing, aston
shed me. l was invited TO preach to MIR. Paynes
native congregation in his neat bamboo chapel stu

sobery and decorously.
Dir. Seyes describes the colonists al Cape Palmas
as an industrious and moral people, and says that
they have very efficient police.
The editor of the Liberia Herald thus speaks of
the departure from Monrovia ofthe u ship Mace
doDian, Commodore Perry:
We feel emotions of sadness d, the departure OF
this vessel. The deep interest in welfare ut all
times manifested by the commodore, by Capt. Mayo,
and the gallant officers OF this ship-their readiness
TO lend us on every occusion all The aid of their
hlence, and the dlgniied and geDtemanly carriage
eli all with whom II mas been eur pleasure 10 form
an acquaintance have begcrten al attachment not
frequently conceived by casual and brief inter-
course. The people Of the United S,ates need en-
terrain no apprehension of the high place they &C.
cupy in the estimation OF the world while they send
sucn representatives abroad. May the hand that
hath been around them q shield from The pssiilence
of Africa, conduct them safely the bosom of their
families
The Africas Luminary of September 9TH, says
the colony of Liberia is in prosperous condition.
