Mr. Atkinson—Dear Nil.:

a soldier in the American Camp, in 1778,
with many others, (owing to great expo

ungs, by which I was disacled trim Butt
.r a long time. Since tint period, until
eccntly, I have never b...en free from a vin
eat cough and difficulty of breathing. Year
of er year, I Nice expectorated over a gill a

bordering on death. It has been a matter
of astonishment to my family and Meads,

had skillful physicians to attend me, and cv
try thing done that was thought likely to
give me relief, without any beneficial t fleet.
Last winter I had another very seveee at

THE PARTING SUMMER.
BY MRS. HEMANS.
Tht u'rt bearing hence thy roses,
GI .d Summer ; f. ra lhee well !
Tn-iert singing thy I.,st melodies
In every wood and dell !
But in the golden sunset
Ot the last lingering day,
Oh! tell me o'er this checkered earth
How halt thou pasu:d away ?
Brightly, sweet summer! brightly
Thine hours have fl,ated by.
To the jopais h•rds of the woodland boughs—
The rangers of the sky:
And brightly in the forests
To the wild deer bounding free ;
And brightly midst the garden flowers
To the h ppy murmuring bee.
But haw to human bosoms,
With all their hopes and fears;
And thoughts that make them eagle wings
To pierce the unborn years ?
Sweet Summer! to the captive
Thou bast flown in burning dreams
Of the woods, with all their hopes and leaves,
And the blue, rej,iicing streams ;
To the wasted and the weary,
On the bed of sickness bound ;
In sweet, delicious fantasies,
That changed with every sound;
To the sailor in the billows,
In lunging, wild and vain
For the gushing founts and breezy hills,
And the homes of earth again.
And unto n - e, glad Summer!
How host th ugh flown to me?
My chainle:s footsteps nought have kept
From thy haunts of song and glee.
Thou hast flown in wayward visions,
In memories of the Dead—
In shadow from a troubled heart ;
O'er a sunny pathway shed ;
In brief and su'den strivings
'to flight a weight aside ;
'Midst these, thy melodies have ceased,
And all thy roses died!
But oh!" thou gentle Summer !
If I greet thy flowers once more,
Bring me again thy buoyancy,
Wherewith my soul should soar!
Give me to hail thy sunshine
With so.;g and spirit free;
Or in a purer land than this
May our next meeting be!

AAROR lILTREt AND TtlE REVO.
LuTION.
\i e extract the following brief sketch
of the revolutionary services of this re
markablo ihdivitival,' from a review of
Davis' Memories, fin the last inumber of
the North A merican Revi.Ew.
The extraordinary privations suffered
by the detachment under Arnold, which
succeeded in making ; its way to Quebec,
were endured by no one of its members
with more cheartulness and patience than
toy the stripling who had volunteered in
join it. And this was one characteristic,
which was remarkable in Burr through
life, and which went a great way to main
tain for him the respect of those immedi
ately.around him. Ile was not one of the
repining kind, •vho wear out the patience
of their neighbors with their catalogue of
complaints, and bore all his misfortunes
like a mau. W hen time party finally reach
ed die Chaudiere, and it became necessa
ry to establish a cotmuutiication with Gen.
Montgomery, Burr was selected for the
task; and, though on young, he acquitted
himself of the hazardous duty of penetra
ting a comitry, the inhabitants of which
adhere to the British power, and spoke a
different language from his, with prudence
and success. Upon his arrival at the
General's head quarters, he was immedi
ately invited to assume a station near his
person, in anticipation of the moment
when lie might be appointed an aid-de
camp. Burr thus became an actor in the
unsuccessful assault upon Quebec; was
present when Montgomery fell; and was
the person who bore him upon his should
ers from the spot, when rett eat became
necessary. His conduct throughout this
trying atiair, appears to be marked with
courage and judgment. It establishes
fur him a high reputation at the time a.
mum , a he American troops, and undoubt
edly deserved tree and unquallitied l: raise
We are not of those who would refuse to
his memory the smallest tribute of honor
which he can be supposed to have deser
ved. And it gives us the more pleasure
to do so in this instance, because we feel
under no necessity of adding a syllable of
But, with the death of the commander
in -chief, all prospect of successful action
in Canada vanished, and Burr was not
one of those who could find in the quiet
•performance of duty a compensation for
,the want of more brilliant success in life
—Without the consent of Arnold, who
hail succeeded to the command, and in
spite of his prohibition he left his compun
ions to take care of themselves, and made
the best of his way to the city of New Y.
The lame he lad gained had cause before
him, and had prejudiced in his favor the
mind of Washington, who received him at
that place with great cordiality, and im
mediately gave him the same situation,
near his own person, which Montgomery
had proims.yd him near his, before death
had interfered to cut a his expectations.
This new positiou was one of the best in
the army, I r it enabled the possessor, if
he were inclined, not only to establish
strong claims upon the confidence and at
fections of his superior, but also to lay a
foundation broad and deep for a brilliant
career of honor and service during after
life. Hamilton was much intlebltd . to it
for hi, success.' Why did Burr fail to
prove it ? We cannot tell the presise rea
son; but the fact is clear that from this pe
rind may be dated the origin of the dishon
or of his latter days. Six weeks only e
lapsed, before Burr expressed his disgust
at his position, and requested of Hancock
then President of Congress, to procure
hint a transfer into some other service, or
leave to retire. This transfer was ob
tained for hint, and he left the family of
ashington to join that of Gen. Putnam.
But, brief as die time had been, .t had
prosed long enough to fix in the mind of
the comoiander•in•chief impressions of
the character of his young aid, which re
mained ever after indellible, and %filch
by forbidding his voluntarily reposing a
particle of confidence in his honesty, had
a great effect in future, in shutting out the
legitimate avenues for his ambition.
'The reason of the mutual dislike be
tween Washington and Burr, so rapidly
matured into a permanent separation, we
do not know. The attempt made by our
author to explain it, is lamentably insuf
ficient. We gather from it only, that
Burr found himself without the confi
dence of the Geneva! in regard to his mil
itary movements, and hence was anxious
as soon as possible to withdraw from the
awkward position in which this circum
stanc.• placed him. But this statement
does not explain why Washington refused
that sort of confidence to Burr which he
was in the habit of placing in others, nor
the reasons for the mistrust of his mural
integrity which he is well known always
after to have entertained. That great
man ails stern in his judgments upon right
an•l wrong, and not easily moved to re
store his confidence to those who had once
by their own conduct incurred its forfei
ture. Yet he did not form his opinions
hastily, or upon sl ght evidence. Neither
could have been a small thing which
could, in the ;pace of six short weeks,
have entirely changed his feelings towards
a young man like Aaron Burr, from those
of friendly kindness and esteem to sus
picion and dislike. But what that thing
was, as it does not seem likely • that we
shall know, it is useless to waste time in
fruitless and idle attempts to conjecture.
The fact itself is significant enough.
Let its resume the review of Burr's
military career. He served as aid-de•
camp to Gen Putnam in the unfortunate
action upon Long Island, and upon the
subsequent evacuation of New York se
•ved a brigade, which had been detained
there too long, from fulling into the hands
of the British. These services earned
for hint a lieutenants.colonel's commis
sion, and the virtual command of a re
giment. He had a horse shot under him
at the battle of Monmouth, and from that
time until his retirement from the service
which happened in 1779, though not a
gain in action, he appears to have perse
vered in time faithful and punctual perfor
mance of the duties incumbent upon a
skillful and vigilent officer. But he could
not control his impatience under the mon
otonous details of ordinary service. 11 is
resignation, made upon the partially well
founded plea of ill health, appears yet to
have had no trifling connection with sound
feelings and disappointed expectations.
His difference with General Washington
naturally threw hint among the officers dis
posed to resist the authority of the com
mander lie appears to have
been a member of the Conway Cable, and
an ardent supporter of General Gates.
whose successful campaign against Bur—
goyne. made him for a time the object,
around whotn the disaffected, and those
dissatisfied with the slow and less
liant progress of Washington, rallied, as
about his rival. The result of the very
brief struggle which took place is well
known. Its effect upon purr probably
was to remove him still farther than before
from all prospect of rapid advancement
as a soldier, and to incline him to look to
st:iite new Hue of action fur success.
His tailing health then decided the ques
tion, and he became a lawyer. But his
disappointment in thus leaving a profes
sion for which he considered himself em
inently well qualified, was a severe one,
and his feelingg of hostility to the person
whom he regarded as the true cause of it
proportionately bitter. From the day of
his resignation of his commission to the
day of his death, he never failed to speak
of Washington in terms of disparage
ment, to all those who were in any degree
intimately acquainted with him. And it
is not his fait, that his biographer has nut
communicated his dissatisfaction to the
world.
"DONT GO THERE !"
The scenes of our boyhood are oft re
membered, and as the stripling rises into
manhood the lessons of his youth become
the lights of his after pilgrimage. No one
perhaps ever lived, who has not felt the
indescribable sensation of a full heart,
when met with the tender yet overwhelm
ing paternal reproof for some youthful
aberration. Parental authority , never ex
ercises a nobler or more beneficent pre
rogative, than when to the correetinn of
youthful error, it brings !ts hallow d affec
tion and unshaken justice. the youthful
ollimder melts into contrition, and can on
ly dry up his tears in the sunshine of for
giveness. When he beholds the smile of
justice , atisfied, or benevolence kindly ex
tended to his limits, he endeavors to do bet
ter anti to deserve the kindness he receives.
In the fulfilment of the many duties of a
parental character, there is a high accoun
tability to which many are altogether in
sensible. The habits of the parent are too
oft the sole inheritance of the child—and
his tastes, principles and put suits are often
fashioned by the most trivial attentions or
neglects of the parent. But enough of
this for the present moment.
When a mere youth, the curiosity natu
ral to all children frequently led me be
yond the limits of paternal license. One
afternoon, as I wandered into a neighbor
ing church-yard, to scan the monuments
that told the brief story of its silent in
habitants, the sun had cast his last declin
in.• rays upon the tall' trees beside me, ere
I thought of returning home, or of the com
mand I rveived at my departure. The
sense of disobedience confused tae-wand
I sat down bile tas the marble at my feet.
From this reverie I was aroused by a shrill
call from the nursery of weeping willows
on one side of the grave-yard—and had
not time to answer before she stood at m
side, an aged domestic of my father's
duelling, clad in an unusual grab, which I
lauld new know letter how to compare
with some of those female singularities
that the master-spirit of Scotland - so faith'
fully portrayed. She led me hastily to
wards
home, betraying at every turn evi
dent fear of the ghosts and spirits, the
most marvellous stories of which she had
been wont to pour into my ear. She led
me by the hand, now wondering at my te
merity, now chiding me for disobedience
to my parents, and now pitying me for the
punishment I so richly deserved for hay.
big frightened her almost out of her little
I wits. She wound off her lamentations
{with the emphatic charge, 'never to go
there spin.'
'Don't go there 1' sa d she, as she pas•
sed a gang of wrestlers—•there will be
broken limbs and bruises--don't go there.'
Vt e passed successively the retreats of the
idle, the haunts of the dissipated, the as
semblies of the profane—and my guide, as
she hurried onward, earnestly repeating
the injunction--. Don't go there 1'
In the course Ida long life, I have wit
nessed the various characters of men, and
wondered at the facility with which pas
sion and lolly lead them astray—and I
have a thousand times thought of the aim
pie warning of my guide, and longed to
whisper it in their ears. When youthful
companions urged to the •vayward chase,
to some evening route or revel--the with
ered form of the old enchantress stood be
fore my young eyes, and I could no low
ger yield to their solicitations.
And now, when I see a young man
about to enter the gay assembly of the
thoughtless, and vicious, perhaps to join in
riotous excesses, debauchery, and gaining
--I could wish to avert the evil, and tell
him 'never go there.'
When I see the young mechanic, de
pendent on his daily earnings, the mer
chants's clerk, whose salary will scarcely
keep hint in decent clothes, nightly wend
ing his way to the theatres, I could wish
to whisper in his car, Won't go there.'
II hen I see the young entering the gin
palaces, or the rum shops, the illumina

minds, 'Never to go there.'
And the fair, too—when t see them, aps
parently with no pursuit but pleasure.
wasting the golden hours of morning in
sleep, and the live-Fong days in gadding
about the streets, wasting the earnings of
their fathers on feathers and frippery, and
becoming the pets of gallants and whisker
ed coxcombs—methinks they had better'
'not go thore;' fur as age creeps on, and
they perchance get no husbands, they
may need those friendships which pru..
dence and industry never fail to secure,
and without which old maids arc miserable
creatures.

DES PERA TE MUTINY AT SEA
On Saturday nine seamen were brought
before Judge Davis, upon the complaint
of B. smith, ji. Acting District Attorney,
charging them with a mutiny at sea, tit
February last.—Their names are Richard
Musserder, James T. Armstong, Charles
!Stone, William Collins, Robert Brooks,
John Tilton, John Wincheter, John John
i.on and John Broughton. From several
depositions forwarded by Robert H. Hun
ter: U. S. Consul, at Cowes, the following
facts were disclosed : In January last, this
ship Ulyssus sailed from Baltimore for
Amsterdam, with a cargo of tobacco and
staves. The crew consisted of the Cap
ta,n (Henry Galt) and two mates, ten
able-bodied men before the mast, and stew
ard And cook•—in all 15. On the evening•
of Feb. 16, while the nine prisoners 'wel
led above were below, a heavy squall arose.
and the mate ordered them on deck to
take in sail.—They refused to obey the or
der, and gave for a reason that they did
not get tom] enough.—The mate repeated
his order and they again roused, unless
he would agree that in future their allow
ance of victuals should be increased.
The mate ref dse.l to make any such con
dition, and reported their proposition to
the Captain, who directed him to go be
low and fetch up the ringleader, but whew
he went down he found them prepared for
a deadly resistance, and determined not
• to permit Broughton, their 'spokeman' to
be taken. In the meantime Captain Chit
had armed himself with a cutlass, and pla
ced a brace of pistols in the galley as a
derider m esort. 'rite mate having reported
his inability to secure Broughton, the cap
tain armed with his cutlass, went below,
anti there found Broughton with a pistol,
and Collins with a heaver, and the others'
with knives. Ile attempted to lay hold of
Collins, but was knocked down, wounded
in the face, and then had his legs tied.
The mate came to his assistance, and snap
ped his pistol, which missed tire. He
then called out to the steward fur more
