Some months since, horrible tragedy was cnac-

They are briefly these;

requiring each seryent on the plantation to report

each night On Thursday evening last the negroes

Half seen, half doubted, while before her, dark,
Stretched the array of war.

In the iirst ages OF our quarrelsome race, the

brazen enough to insist on being entirely bareaced:
they trimmed the corners Of the beard; in modern
yenacular, they wore goatees. In time the fanat-
les carried their point in their own country, but
they failed in the rest Of the Orient. Moses nut
an end to all inrigues the subject by issuing an
order, (sce 10 Leyitcus:) "Neither shalt thou mar
the corners of thy beard" Nothing short of death

And like dim shadows watch by her scpulchcr,
The chill rain is falling, the npt worm is crawling
Tho rivers are swelling, the thunder is knelling
For the year,
The Llithc swallows are flown, and the lizard

And make her grave green with tear ON tear.

him in the river till he was drowned. lie was a
son Of one of our most estmable Norwegian citi-
zens--a member Of the Evangelical Lutheran

the principles of Christianity he was so intelligent
and had given such decided evidence of piety that
he had been admitted rs II member Of the same
