DAY BRIEAIK.

Dawn of day"! thy twilight dress

A mantle seems of holiness,

Dropt by Him who iashion’d earth‘, '
Ere the morning starsflhad birtlr,
Ere the womb of shapeless night
Heaved creation into light.

Dawn of day I how pure tome

Is all thy fresh born fragrancy, _
Ofodours tltat from night-fall rise,
A yet untainted sacrifice, _
lfrom God’s footstool to his tlirorre-"=-
Oh I that I could wait my own 1

Dawn" of day! how wrapt thy ltush
Of stilliress, ere from‘ brake or bush
Beast do rustle,bird take wing,

Or noise of any earthly thing

Break in upon thy holy calm, _
VVhie.lt spreads o’er care celestial balm.

‘Sweet, ah I sweetest dawn of day I

I.-ike all that’s sweet, how bticftliy stay ;

For now the sun; in beamy spread,

Tips easterrr clouds with garnish red, _

And gathering soun.ls their car steal onw-

Dawn of day! thy charm is gone. .

FROM 'ri»ii«: VILLAGE iuacoitn. ;: -‘-
.T‘HE TOKEN OF LOVE.

One cold stormy night last winter, after the la-

bors of the day were closed, and the family were
gathered round the cheerful fire, 1 battle Lucy to
hand me it volume of tny favorite Goldsmith from
the book-case. She rose to do so, and as she pas-
sed the window, the snow and hail rattled sharply
against it. ‘ It is a fearful storm,’ said she; ‘ I
hope there is no poor traveller abroad and sliel-
terless.” ‘ Thou art a good child. Lucy,’ said I ;
5 the poor are always in thy mind.’ And me-
thought at the moment, as I gazed on hereye,
beaming with benevolence, that she never looked
so much like her saitited mother. She had scarce-
ly taken her seat, when a rap was heard at the
door. ‘ Who in the world can be there,’ r.;:;ie(l I,
‘ this dreary night? Run, run, €ltll<lI‘tint ii’-Kl Ste?’
The lad was in a moment at the door, and press
ently rettrrned, saying that there was a poor man
who had lost his way, and asked for shelter. A
seat was immediately prepared for him at the
_I".I.lCflLIl fire, which was yet blazing brightly ; his
locks were white with snow, and his clothes wet
and frozen. hletlritrks he could not ltttve survived
another hour. ‘We soon lt;f1l‘lIt‘(I that lie was on

to the path that led to our mansion. His clothes
were changed, and sizclt r'el'teshrrreirts given him
as his situation rendetjtcrl necessary, when I told
Lucy to invite hint. into 2: little aittittg-;' mom; ll)"
she said he looked like zltleeertt i‘:‘:t‘il)_, now ho was

and airjtltat sltoaved a spirit once protrrl, if not
izidepenclc-nt. I bade him welcome '.ri§tlr fr‘a't'ok-
ness, and congratulated myself in having found
a stranger in my guest, who might have seen
rnticli of the world, which I had not, and from
whom much amusement,and perhaps instruction.
ririglit be obtained. I love my book well, but I
also love lD._l'Z':a"(l Mi-zrr, and often find an hour
spent in the compariy ofa stranger from any part
of the globe, well repaid by the information ac-
quiretl. _ g _ _ .

I-lis tongue bespoke him from a foreign land,
and aftcra few inquiries, his confidence and spi-
rits se-'—.-tned-to have t-ett:'t'_:iéd, arid he gave its this
account of liimself, which,_2.s it interested me, I
'.'l.1Illl0l.tl1IUI{H\\_'lll be eiitirely trriaicceptable to the
readers of the Record. , ,, '

‘ It is true,’ said my guest, ‘ that I am from the
old country. I was born in a little village in York-
shire. in the year l2’8.?I. My fatlt'*.r had no land
of his own, but be rented a farm which had been
occupied his father‘ and grand fatlre_r ;' and it
had to us all the charms of home. ‘My mother
wasa sensible, \v—bZ’iiaI3, and had received at better
_ducation than is common to those of her condi-
tion in life ; and being a strict lTt"l!‘.'ll)L‘l' of the
llliethodist persuasion, she endeavored to instil in-
to my youthful mind, useful lirio'.vle(lge' and pious
sentiments. In my book I made corrsidcx-able
progress, but loved pleasure too well to pr_ofi't by
her izistt-uction in more seriouis mafters. llfriiong
the corrtpirtrions or youth, was one Jarfrcs A_t-
kinson, a laitl t::~vc‘ _‘_~"ear‘s youngr.-r than myself, the
Son of our landlord. Open cotrrst-.-nariced and
open-hearted, fair in look, and in‘ contlttct fran_k,
generous and good, his blue 6) s," light hair.
aqueline nose, high forehead, and \\'liIIe teeth, all
regularly proportioned and combined. gave a per-
fect specimen of English beauty ; presenting at
once strongly-mar ked featurt-s with so eetness and
nobleness of expression. J-antes was a favorite
throughout the whole neighborhood; for while
he was on no occa.~,ion guilt)’ of a mean action,
he was prompt‘ to def.-ml, even at the lrazartl ot a
battle, the riglits of the oppressed.’ ‘ But you
forget your own story, in that of your friend,’
said I, interrupting him

He wiped a tear from his rugged cheek, turned
away his head a moment. and proceedtd.

‘ But it matters little now,’ saitl he; ‘-it is un-
necessary to grieve, and I l"t':U.‘.l. not make my sto-
ry too long-—-James l‘tL'.(l fortried art attachmeni; for
Mary-Ann Slrcldon. a sweet girl, the. tlanglrtcr-of
one of his f.ithcr’s tenarrts 3 but a C-‘rllsi(lCl‘al)It:
and respectable farmer. She was fa'rr-, (I think
not so ltahtlsorne as Jamcs,) sprightly and agree-
able, setrsible and well educated: she appeared
‘more and more interesting every moment she was
in our company. There was a secret charm
thro-1.vri around her, which it is difficult to des-
cribe or account for : it was not be-auty~-it coultl
not be wealth: yet it v§'as felt and owned by eve-
ry one. The partiality of James was manifest,
and it was ‘.1-it difficult to see that his love met its
desired return. There never was a couple prom-
ised fairer for happiness. Interest in their own
affairs seemed almost suspended ‘among the far-
mers and villa_tr_ers, so much were they occupied
in the approaching marriage of .lan:'es Atkinson
and Mary-Ann Slreldon.

t But this calm of peace, of love and pleasure,
‘was a deltisive halcyon, the forerunner ofa deso-
lating storm A severe contest arose’ in the
neighborhood for member of parli-ament,in which
Mr‘. Atkinson, the father of James, and Mr. Shel-

don, the father of Mary-Ann, espoused opposite

-,

, ._ 7-.-__.r. . . l.- . fl
interests. The contest was bitterj'to.._atr§ii u'§ti‘§l
degree. Mr. Atkinson was a high-t'e_rnp'e«tjed -nifin‘-,3
and having rashly pledged the votes of h‘is.ten‘ants,§
he was irritated to a phrenzy against those" who?
resisted and counteracted his wishes. A.qiia.r-rel‘;
upon the hustings ensued ; his candidate failed ;§

' and on his return home, he told James. in the}.

most solemn manner,’ that if he continued his at-
tention to the daughter of his enemy, he must ex-
pect not only the forfeiture of his hopes of pros-
perity, but of his affection.—* James,’ said he, tak-
ing his hand, ‘I thus deliberately swear by heaven
the wrath and curses of the father, who has held
your infant head so oft on his bosom, shall follow
you, if you marry into that family, while I live.’

_ ‘ James flew to me, threw himself on the earth
and cried, audibly like a little boy ; then rising,
his eyes swollen and bursting with rage, he struck
his breast,_and threw his hands to heaven é ‘ I will
not disobey you,’ said lie, ‘ but I will be reven-
ged on your cruelty.’ ‘ VVlrat, James?’ said I ;
* rcvenged on whom? whatis the matter?’ VVhen
his feelings would permit, he told me the whole
tale. ‘ I cannot and dare not bring on my head
that fearful eurse of my father,’ said lie,’ ‘but I
am resolved.—I.ife without Mary-Ann can be but
lingering death-—not worth preserving—I care
not how soonI die.——I am resolved secretly to
leave home, and go to the wars.’ I do not know
what possessed me. The thought struck ‘me
tliatl would accompany him. Some secret no-
tioncof glory--some idea of promotlon‘——a wish
to return, and be the wonder and pride of the vil-
lage, operated upon me; and perhaps my attach-
ment to home had been impaired by the unkind-
ness of one, whose kindness was, I then thought,
necessary to my happiness. So, singing

‘ S/re 7zo=w/1rc_=/"ere some ric/zcr swam ,;

For gold, alas .’ /rag banis/&’d Love ;’

Itold James, that death only should part us.

‘ The farewell of James and Mary-Ann, I did
not witness; out when we set out, he never spoke
a word for more than an hour.--It was a bright
moonlight night; sometimes I could see that his
lists were clenched—-sometimes his hands were
laid on his breast-—ltis eyes raised to heaven--and
he sighed deeply. as if he was in great distress.
My own heart too, grew \V(’£ll'§! and very sad. as
I ref!-acted upon the pangs that my departure
would bring upon llif: ttnder bosom of my belov-
ed motlrer; and too tender, though manly*heart
of my father. At London I wrote them a most
dutiful letter, promisitrg to behave worthy of
them, and to r‘:ttit‘n. l liopecl, with honor. VVc
joined the army, and according to our request,
were immediately sent ab:-ettd to Spain, where
Wcllirrgtott was contending with the French.

‘ ’l‘he war was ar.r‘i- e, and we were soon enga-
g:d: I can't tell new it was ; but as we began
the battle, we al\r'.rys felt a little trembling about
the heart. but it was soon over; and so accustom-
ctl did we become to scenes of slaughter, that a
man shot dead by our side produced little more
emotion tlian the death of a bare, or a partridge.
Jmres not only fought with bravery, but with les-
peratirrn, and soon attracted the notice‘ of Capt’.
Churchill, wl:"o commanded us ; from whom he
received the appointment ofsegrgeant. _ p
g ‘ The evening before the great battle of Tale-
vera, James came to me with an expression of
ntelatrcltoly upon his countenance : He stood
some time without speaking. At length, ‘ _VVil—
liam,’ said he, (Wm. Harlan is my name, said my
guest,bowi_ng, asifjtist that momentsensible he
had not before told me,) ‘\Villiam, you know I
am no coward ; I have braved death in marry a
field, and have never shrunk at its most terrific
approach: btrt I foresee that my hour has near-
ly come—-lam sure I shall not live through to-
morrow.’ I endeavored to rally ltim, but it gave
pain, and I desisted. ‘ llere,’ continued James,
taking from his bosom a silver broach; (it had
once been a dot.rble heart, and was broken in two:
I well remember to have seen it formerly. and on
l\“l:ity-Arrri’s snow uhitc bosom, to confine lrcr
lT.tl'lCll~'.cl'Cl-16-f. I: was now bound round and iti-
terwoven with a line auburn lock of hair.) ‘Take
this, William,’ said James; ‘you may survive
me, and return to our native vill-.tge~—if you do
so, present this to Mary-Anti ; tell her I wore-it
next my faithful lreart, that ever beat fondly and
truly her. Tell my father-—but no——if my
mother" lives, say to her, that I never dishonored
her 5' and bid her be a illt')li'lt.'l‘ to my poor, wid-
owed love.’

f He l'ill'?;lt‘fI away, and I sa-.'.'l'tim no more until
the next ntorning. \'\'ith a hlithe and soldierly
step, be matched forth to battle. Passing‘ to the
left of our platoon, in the midst ofthe fight, a ball
struck him, and he fclfitrto my arms. ‘ Is it you,

»V'i’illiant ?’ said he. as he opened his eyes; ‘I

told you so; I am gone: tell them at home, I
died like a soldier, and O tcll’—-'l‘he words died
on his lips; he gasped, and expired. The battle
raged fiercely; and his was the lot of thousands
of slain. '
‘I kept the precious relic with the utmost care;
and it was among the most melancholy, yet rnost
pleasing thoughts, that I should give it to Mary-
Ann, in our native village; but it was ordered
otherwise. After the wars on the continent were
over, we were. ordered home. ‘No sailed, and
the high and white cliffs of Old England broke,
first like a distant cloud upon the sight, and slow-
ly. but S\V6€tly', grew nearer, larger and more
distinct. I sat oti deck, and gazed with new de-
light every moment. Methought I could see
near the spot where our dwelling rose. My fa-
lllel‘ and mi‘ mother seemed to be standing at the
door, ready to welcome me. I saw Mary-Ann
coming rvith hasty and disordered steps to ask for
James. _ His cruel father came too; but I reso].
ted to give him little satisfaction. My old (log,
methought, fawned around me, so that I could
hardly tell my tale; but I could not strike him-—
that would have been too cruel. Dear‘ native
vale I-'—'Home—-O God !—-‘but this is too much.
‘We anch0t‘ed, and expected every mot-‘nent to be

had broken out in Arherlcal - _

I cursed the day I was born ; and in the bitter-
tiess of my soul, swore vengeance against my us-
feeling country. They brought me here; but
the rtiotiient I landed, I put my firm resolve into
execution, and d_eset'tcd. I have since been wan-_

in Brazils, to the editor of the Salem Register,

dated BAHIA, May, Ii8’i9.

The intervention of holidays is a great inter-
ruption to business. Nearly one third of the
year, in Catholic countries, is devoted to religious
customs. From the licentiousness ofthe Carni-
val, to the silence and devotion of Lent; from
the gloom and horror ofGood Ft‘idny, totlre joy-
ful exultation of Christmas ; from mass to their
pleasures, seems to be the whole life of the For-
tuguese, Spanish and Italian Christians: During
the holidays all busiriess is suspended. The cus-
tom house is shut, and no man could be found to
buy or sell. Since my arrival here ‘there have
been l4 holidays, out ‘of 40. Sunday is esteem-
ed but lightly by the Catholics. It is merely _a
fast-day, and the evenings are usually spent at
the theatre or in the ball-'-room. But the holidays
are sacred. They are the anni'versat'ies of some
memorable fact in gospel history, or in honor of
some saint whose life was eminently devoted to
the establishment of christianity, when it was a
virtue to stand forth as its defenders, against its
enemies, the idolatrous nations of I:‘.urope.-—
These men, called saints, (and they could not
have received that appellation from men, but for
great services) were either the preachers or con-
querors of the anti-christian nations, and formed
the pivots upon which these nations were turned
from Paganism to Christianity. Hence they
have acquired a perinanent fame in the annals of
the church, and although their particular services
are lost and forgotten in the ruins of historical
record, yet their names have survived, and the
Catlrolic prayers are addressed to them, as still
interested in the progress of that great cause for
which they so nobly suffered. __
Tire holidays finished on Monday night the 3d
of May. At 4 o'clock the procession moved
from the Church. A friar delivered an oration,
during which a curtain was drawngaside, and pre-
sented a car, surmounted with a figure of Jesus‘
bearing his cross. The ceremonies were finish-
ed with music. _ _
The banner of the cross preceded the whole
nrocessiotr, accompanied with a person gorgeous-
ly dressed in purple and gold, and having wings,
formed ofthe rich plumage of Idrazillian birds,
on his shoulders, he bore a trumpet in his hand.
This figure represented some archangel. Then
succeeded a company of friars in white, bearing
long lighted wax tapers in their hands. Behind
them came the Host, under a purple canopy, SUP-
ported by silver rods. Three priests splendidly
dressed in golden and brocade vestments, carried
this sacred depositoFy of God himself, according
to their belief! Troops of angels attended it.

soldiers moving to martial music. The rabble
folloiwed. _ , V p .
As the procession moved through the'princi-
pal street, they stopped occasionally tochaunt at

‘temporary alters built in the.streets.'—-These

were richly decorated with gold and silver cloth,

andilluminated with tall wax candles, standing

in can'dlesti'cl;'§ ofsilver. : ‘ , ,
As the procession passed the house oftlre dis-

tinguished irzlrabitants, sltowers of roses were

thrown from the windows upon _ Night came

on, while this gorgeous page-antry moved thro’
the streets, and the light from the innumerable

candles threw a splendor over the street, chur-ch-
es and multitude that produced it novel and inte-

resting effect. The bald-headed-friars, the splen-

did robes ofthe priests, and the’ image of the Vir-

gin and her Son, served to thicken the imagina-
ation, and impose upon the senses.

On the 20th of May was Ascension Day, and

the whole place was abandoned to frolic and farce.

The negroes were dressed in silk brecches, some

in yellow satin, others in black silk, others in sur-
tools of English broadcloths lined with silk, and

all the principal ones ornamented with a yellow

or 21 red rose. -The balls were kept ringing, and
at intervals the churches threw up flights ofi‘ock-
cts."

At 4 o'clock the procession started from the
church. It was preceded by two bands of negro
musicians. Then came a moving tree represent-
ing the tree of knowledge, with an enormous ser-
pent twining around the trunk. This was guard-

ed by two soldiers with fixed bayonets. Then
God the
Father in the likeness of an old man with a long
heard, was on the right hand ofa car covered with
a silver fillagree work; his Son on the left; both
figures larger than the life, and were covered with
the most splendid robes of sill: velvet, embroid-
ered with gold and covered with golden wreaths
sparrgled with jewels. Before them on the car,

— knelt the Virgin Mary, in the attitude of worship-

ping her Son, and on the front oftlrisbeautiful
car the Holy Ghost in the ‘form ofa white dove.
Another effigy ofJesus followed on another car of
silver fillagree home on the shoulders of six
priests. He bore a large crosp in his hands rest-
ing over his shoulders. Eiligies on cars, repre-
sgnting the different orders of friars, succeeded,
and the Virgin, most beautifully dressed, sat on
another car, embellished with robes, and a profu-
sion of artificial flowers.

At last came the grand object of worship, and
mystical belief, the I-Iosr. As this came into the
procession, rockets were thrown up from the
church, and thousands of crackers were snap-
ping~in all directions‘. The Host itselfis nothing
more than a small wafer, but it is enclosed in a
splendid casket ofgold and jewels, having a small
glass face like the crystal ofzi watch. Through
this the wafer can be seen. A priest in brocacled
silk and gold vestments, holds it before him.--:
Two other priests bear his robes, and the whole
is covered with a canopyfsupportecl on silver
shafts. Asthis mystery moved along the lane
formed by the crowd, the multitude fell upon
tlieitvknces, and remained in that posture with

which it was fastened, there is the breach and

hats off, till it passed. The bells were chiming

 

flights of rockets continually sent up to-bear their
prayers above the smoke and stir of tliigdim spdt
which men call earth.
