TThen I must leave, alas I for ever,
My native land 2nd childhood home;
The ties thsa long have bound mo sever,
And far from her, the loved one roam.
Then ehauningTalc.'whcrc we have spoken
Our words of love so pure and sweet,
Since now thy charm for me is broken,
1 hail no more thy green retreat.
Farewell, ye fields, oft robbed witli flowers
Of my Estclle to deck the hair ;
"And roses culled from Flora's bowers,
To grace a brow, tha.i ye, more fair.
And, farewell stream, whose limpid waters
Their rapid course suspended oft,
That sho, the boast of Beauty's daughters,
Migllt lhero behold her features soft.
Tarewell, ye meadows, ever verdant,
Where infancy its passions breathed;
And where in youth our love more fervent,
The flowery garland mutual wreathed.
And ye, fair trees, where oft we wandered,
Our names to trace, out vows to tell,
And" o'er the past with pleasure pondered,
To you I sigh a sad farewell !
Trom tha Knickerbocker for March.

BY ROBERT EMMETT HOE.
My life is like a shattered wreck
Cast by the waves upon the shore;
The broken masts, the rifted deck,
Tell of the shipwreck that is o'er.
Yet from these relics of the storm
The mariner his raft will form,
Again to tempt the faithless sea:
While Hope rebuilds no katk for me.
My life is like the blighted oak
That lifts its sear and withered form,
Scathed by the lightning's sudden stroke,
Sternly to meet the coming storm;
Yet round that sapless trunk will twine
The curling tendril of the vine,
And life and freshness there impart'
Not to the passion blighted heart !
My life is like a desert rock
In the mild ocean, lone and drear,
"Worn by the wild waves' ceaseless shock,
That round its base their surges rear.
Yet there the sea moss still will cling,
Some flower will find a cleft to spring
And breath e'en there a sweet perfume
For me life's flower no more will bloom 1
LIFE'S PROGRESS,
How gaily is at flrst begun
Our life's uncertain race !
'Whilst set that sprightly morning sun,
fcth which we just set but to run,
Enlightens all the place.
How smiling the world's prospect lies,
How tempting to go tkrongh !
Not Canaan to the prophet's eyes,
From Pisgan, with a swtet surprise,
Did more inviting show.
How soft the first ideas prove
When wander through our minds !
How full the joys, how free the love,
"Which that early season move,
As flow'is the western winds !
Our sighs are then bat vernal, air,
But April drops our tears,
Winch swiftly passing, all grows fair,
Whilst beauty compensates our care,
And youth each vapor clears.
But oh! too soon, alasl we climb,
Scarce feeling we ascend
The gently rising hill of Time,
From whence with grief we see that prime
Anu all us sweetness and.
The die now cast, our station known,
Fond expectation past;
The thorns which former days had sown,
To. crops of late repentance grown,
Through which we toil at last.
Whilst ev'ry care's a driving harm,
That helps to bear us down;
Which faded smiles no more can charm,
But every tear's a winter storm,
And ev'ry look's a frown !
DEATH.

The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armor igainst fate;
Death lays its icy hands on kings.

With the poor scythe and crooked spade.
And plant Iresli laurels where they kill
They tame hut one another still;
Early or late
They stoop to fate,
nil must crive un their mnrmnrintr tirnnth

COUSIN1NG.
A conntry gentleman lately arrived at
Boston, and immediately repaired to the
house of a relative, a lady who had married
a merchant of that city. The parlies wero
glad to see him, and invited him to make
their house his home, (as he declared his
intention of remaining in the city but a day
or lwo,)The husband of the lady, anxious
to show attention to a rclativo and (riend of
his wife, took the gentleman's horse to a
livery stable in Hanover street. Finally
the visit boeame a visitation, and the mer
chant, after an elapse of cloven day?, found
beside lodging and boarding the gentleman,
a pretty considerable bill had run up at the
livery stable. Accordingly he went to the
man who kept the stable and told him when
the gentleman took the horse ho would pay
the bill.
'Very good,' said the stable keeper, 'I
understand you.' Accordingly, in a short
time, the country gentleman went to the
stable, and ordered his horse to be got
ready. The bill was of couiso presen
ted. 'Oh,' said the gentleman, 'Mr. so and so
my relation will pay this.' 'Very good sir'
said the stable keeper, 'please to get an
order from Mr. , it will be the same as
mor.c) .' The horse was put up again; and
down went the country gentleman to the
Long Wharf, where the merchant kept.
'Well, said he, 'I am going now.' 'Arc
you,' said the merchant, 'well, good bye 1'
Well about my horse; the man says the
bill must be paid for his keeping.' 'Well 1
suppose that is all right sir.' 'Yes well
but you know I'm vour wile's cousin,
Yes,' said themerchant, 'I know that you
aro, 6m your ho'rss is not!'
TOUCHING STORY.
A Touching Story is told by Lieut. Par
sons, in ins weisonian ueminiscences.
Richard Bcnnel when mortally wounded in
one of Nelson's great battles, had requested
that a minature,and a lock of his hair,should
be given by Lieut. P. to his sweetheart
Susctte, in Scotland, The gallant Lieut.
thus describes the interview:
It was at the close of day when a bright
July sun was on the point of strength, that
I arrived at the very pretty cotttge of Su-
sette's mother. I tremulously stated who
I was to the most respectable looking ma
tron I ever saw, of French extraction. In
broken and bitter accents of hartfell grief,
she told her daughter's death was daily
looked for, and requested time to prepare
her to see me. At last she expressed a
wish to see the friend f Richard Detinet,
and I was admitted to the fairest daughter
of Eve that ever found the world unequal
to her tender blossoms. She was prtpped
up with pillows, near the open lattice of
bed room, that was clustered with roses.
Her while dress, and the drapery of the
room accorded with the angelic vieion.wlio
now turned her lustrious orbs upon me,
veiled in long fringed eyelids, She held
out her transparent hand, and gently pressed
mine, as I knelt to kiss it; and as she felt
my tears drop on it, softly murmured, !l
wish I could cry; that would relieve my
poor heart.' She gasped for breath and
respired with great difficulty. 'The lock
of hair quickly, while I can see it.' She
caught at it, wildly pressed it to her lips
and heart, and fell back. Her mother and
I thought she had fainted; but the pure and
innocent soul had returned to God who
gave it.
PetC, how does your father hamper his
sheep to prevent them jumping over the
fences!' 'Oh, that's easy enough; he just
cuts a hole through one hind leg, and slicks
the other through it, and then puts one of
the fore legs through that for a pin.'
IT'S ON.
'It's on at last 1 it's on !. she cried
To her daughter standing by;
'It's on!' the thought her utterance chok'd
While joy suffused her eye.
'What's on, dear mother!' asked the maid,
(She smiled, and looked so sweet,)
'My bustle's on, you, dunce,' she said,
'Don't it stick out a feel?'
'Bridget, two pillows missing from the
front garret bed-room.' 'Yes, ma'am,
know if' 'Well then what have you done
with them? 'Why, Miss Jane and Sarah
put them on nr bustles, this mornin , to
walk in Broadway ma'am.'
Courtesy. Lord Bacon beautiful said
If a man be gracious and courteous to
strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the
world, and that his heart is no island cut off
from other land, but a continent that joins
to them.
