EARLY LIFE.
When young in fe, nor known to SOrTow,
How lightly flew the gladsome day :
Gay dreams of bliss bro’t on the morrow,
And gilt the sun’s declining ray.
Then.sweet and tranquil were my slumbers,
Then never ’wak’d mine eyes to WCep >
No sorrow that the heart encumbers,
Poison’d the calm of downy sleep.
Nor treacherous friendship then had found
me,
Nor Death’s dread powers had rent my
heart ; f
Hore spread the fair illusions round me.
| play’d the dear deceiver’s part.
¥ She pictur'd years of tranquil pleasure j
Peace and content, she held to view ;
My'trusting heart dwelt o’er its treasure,
And thought the lovely vision true.
h. 8cenes of joy | by Faney given,
To cheat the enraptur’d gazing eye,
Say why alas ? ye promis’d Heaven,
. And give—but Digafipointment’s sigh 3
Dear shades of bliss ! ye wake my sorrow-
Now slowly moves the tedious day,
While sombre shades o’ercloud th’ morrow,
And shroud the sun’s declining ray.

M’DONOUGH’S VICTORY.
Q, freedom ! raise a joyous strain !
Alor tho eaiie towers,
« We have met the enemy’ again
Again have made them ¢ ours U
Champlair ! the cannon’s thundering voice
Procizims thy waters free ;
Thy forest-waving hills rejoice,
And echo Victory !
Tlie striped flag upon thy wave
Triumphantly appears,
And to invasted landsmen brave,
© A star of promise bears.
Now to the world, Fame’s trumpet sounds
ov The decd with new applause,
While from a Congucred Ficet resounds
Our scamens’ loud huzzas !
Britannia, round thy haggard brows
Bind bitter wormwood still ;
Forlo ! again thy standard bows,
To valiant Yankee skill!
But, O ! what chaplet can be found
M’Donough’s brows to grace ?
¢ "Tis done !” The glorious waeath is bound,
Which time can ne’er efface !
And still a just—a rich reward,
His country has to give
He shail be first in her regard,
And with her Perry lwe !
Columbia ! though thy cannon’s roar
On iniand seas prevail,
And there alone—while around each shore
Outhumbered ships AsSail—
Yet deed with deed, and name with name
Thy gailant sons shall blend,
Till the bright arch of naval fame !
Q’er the broad ocean bend !

ON SENSIBILITY.
SENSIBILITY how charming,
Thou my friend canst truly tell :
But distress with horrors arming,
Thou hast alse known too well ?
Fairest flower, behold the lilly,
Blooming in the sunny ray ;
Let the blast sweep o’er the valley,
See it prostrate on the clay.
_ Hear the wood lark charm the forest
Telling o’er his little joys ;
Hapless bird ! a prey the surest,
"To each private of the skies.
Dearly bought the hidden treasure,
Finer feelings can bestow ;
Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure,
~ Thrill the, deepest notes of woe.

men, who calls himself
WILLIAM BROWN,
Twenty one years old, about 5 feet 9 1 inch
es high, light complexion, fair hair, biue
eyes, and by profession itis believed, a
House Carpenter. He states that he ser-
ved his apprenticeship at Shippensburg, in
this state, and that his father resides about
three miles from Carlisle. He is supposs
ed tobe an arttul fellow, and strong susple
cions are entertained of his honesty.
The cloathing he took with him were a
Rifle Cap complete, Rifle Frock and a pair
of white cotton Pantaloons furnished by the
United States. From the information I have
been able to obtain, it 1s certain that he has
a citizen’s Long Coat with him, with plat~
ed buttons. The calourofthe Coat it is be
lieved, is a dark brown,
He had also in his possession, a few hours
before he was missed, two double-cased sil-
ver watches ; the one old fashioned, and at=
tached to the other a square silver key, with
the initials J. M. cngraved on it, and it is
supposed Bedford notes to the amount of 30
or 40 dollars.
Persons are cautioned against aiding or §
harboring sald deserter, as the law will be
strictly enforced against them.
Itis to be hoped that all good citizens will
make usc of some exertions to ensure his
apprehension, for in times like the present,
the crime of desertion ought to be ranked
amongst those of the blackest cast ; and, in-
dependent of this, certainly no friend of his®
country can countenance such presumptus
ous fraud.
I wiil, with pleasure, give the dbove re
ward for his apprehension, and all reasona~
ble charges shall be paid, if delivered to me
here, or to any other officer belonging to
the Army of the United Siates.
The law against harboring deserters runs
thus :
«Sec, 17. And be it further enacted,
That every person, not subject to the rules
and articles of war, whoshall procure or en-
tice a soldier. in the service of the United
States, to desert; or who shall purchase
from any soldier, his arms,uniform clothing,
or any part thereof; and every captain ce
