UNHAPPii§iEss. _
F Alas !’ cried the youth, as he passed slowly Oh»
i How quickly the pleasures of life will be gone !
They charm for a moment, they dazzle and shine,
And ere they are tasted, begin to decline.
‘ The thought that they last not elnbitters their
_ stay, _ _ ; _ _
And cast a sad tincttire o'er life’s short delay ;
The cup of our bliss is commingled with wo,
..And the dregs of misfortune continually flow.
‘ But away with such thoughts ! why should chil-
ling despair,
. Or the sad tear of grief, or the rough hand of care,
Embitter the swift fleeting moments of time,“ P
And sadness and woe with our pleasures combine .
‘ Let us taste the enjoyments of life whilst they
_ last,
Unembittered by thoughts of the future or past,
And sport in the circle of gaiety and bliss,
And think of no other Elysium than this !’
Oh! Alonzo, Alonzo, to madness a prey,
There will be time when thou"lt sigh for the day,
When Innocence sweeten'd the joys ofthy youth,
Engag’d in pursuit of sweet virtue and truth.
Then. Alonzo, expel such dread thoughts from
thy breast,
' In pursuit of such phantoms thou neler canst be
1
blest,
for virtue alone can enliven the heart,
And virtue and truth real pleasure impart.

THE SOUTHERN BREEZE.
Hark! how the gentle southern breeze,
In murmuring whispers through the trees,
Proclaims returning spring ; '_
The hoary tyrant now must yield,
Anfl, vanquisli’d, quit the verdant field,
\Vlicre joyful warblers sin".
Ye captive streams, ye snow clad hills,
, Ye leafless trees, ye silent rills,
C Your native rights maintain ;
Dissolve the yoke which checks your power,
And dare the tyrant of an hour
To bind you down again !
n_._
And now the bold, impetnous flood-
Augmented by the tyrant’s lzlaoo’,
Dissolves his icy chain ;
‘ And mounting o’er his broken bones,
Drives on, with hollow murmuiing groans,
To waft him to the main !
Thus perish despotism’s thrall,
And thus let every tyrant fall,
At Freedom’s sacred shrine !
Thus may mankind their tights maintain,
And quickly burst that despot’s chain,
I/Vho claims ‘ a right a'ivine.'

Thus I salute you, Mr. Recorder, with my
clearest and shrillestnote——take it as a mark of
respect, for so we hailthe dawn; not as a crow
of defiance, although it is the manner in which we
dare our foes. I have often heard my honoyetl
father, during the last summer, when strutting
I.‘-esorc his flock, boast of having appeared as a cor-
,.eSP0,,dcm in your paper; then he would flap his
wings, and send abroad at note so illl'lll, that every
cock in the neighborhood, catching the sound,
would echo and re-echo it, until the whole lilll:-ige.
W9-_,1d seem to be alive with joyous acclaini. But
alas! he lives no longer.to enjoy his reiiotvn.—
:;‘,itting on his roost one night, little (ll‘6{lflllll,t_;.0f
em, there came along two cruel fellows and seiz-
ed him, swore he should never write again, Wl'ung
his head from his body, and lelt me disconsolate
as the son of an emperor. So I became lord of
the flock and husband ofthe dames, and a pretti-
€,. flock you’d rarely see in a farmer’s yard.
chiidt-cn, you are sensible. are prone to copy
after their parents,and thismethinks should teach
parents great cii'ctinispection in all their conduct,
so I have always felt a desire to take my father s
piace as author too; but although we have city
horses and country horses under our shed, it was
not until last eveningiliat one came which spoke
any thing worth hearing. He was.harnessed to
.3 cane,-, and seemed to have been driven hard, _for
he was wet with sweat, which soon froze on him,
giving him the appearance of black and grey--
from his nostrils icicles hung—-and the poor crea-
ture’: belly seemed drawn in like a dandy’s :—-
but thus he sl’°k"' ‘ , .
6 The devil take this master of mine ! he has
no more pity in driving than a Valley lad, and
don't ;«emt:rr.ber half so often to teed me. Last
winter, heaven knows I had a hard time enough
of it, with iny Valley master. It was to Mammy
Sh,,(je’5._to Mtimmy Shade s—-but then he always
put a blanket over me when llf:"§l0l)l:tt.‘i'.l and l. d
me well-while he was takiiig a jig _v-itli Barbara,
or cutting down his.reel of tour with Betsey, or
wliispering Peggy in the corner; but summer
came and he sold me to my present master, (bless
his heart, I wish he would sentl'me a gallon of
oats)—-and since the snow lelllie is as rampant as
a three year’s old colt. . I believe he has a dozen
sweethearts, for sometimes he takes one, and
s._,me~_',me_-, another, and always gives them a liuge
hussing at every bridge, and sometimes, faith!
when there are no bridges at all---dear creatur_es,I
believe they -like it, at any _rate in sleighing time,
for th()t‘.gl'i tllCy‘Cl‘Y ‘O, quit now, you ugly sauce-

‘ Driving hard and feeding light,

be pleasure to them, but as thetfrogs said to the

Sir—Professor Si1liman’s account of Henry
Francisco, who recently died about two miles from
W'hitehall, at the age of 134 years, now going
the rounds in the newspapers, that it may appear
in no degree incredible, I send you for the amuse-
ment of your readers, the names of many other
old people on record. If a minute and accurate
detail of their history, habits, employ ments, focd,

inferences might be di'ai:vii, from which the cause
and longevity may be asizcrtained with some de-
gree of certaiiity, and human life be prolonged
upon philosophical principles, and become happi-

and usefulness prevailing. K.
At Dent, a market town in the north riding of
the county of York, there lived two persons, the
father and son, who in l66-1-, were summoned as
witnesses upon a trial at York assizes, when the
father was above 139 years, and the son upwards
of 100.
A woman of Gitbian, near St. Ives Bay, in

The famous Thomas Parr, commonly called
old Parr, lived to the age of 152 years; he was a

Presence of mind in a Courtz'cr.--The Prince de
Conde once thought himself offended by the
Abbe de Voiscnon ; Voisenon heard this from a
friend, and went to court to exculpate himself.—
As soon as the Prince saw him, he turned away
from him. ‘ Thank God,’ said Voiseiion,‘ I have
been ni'tsinforrt‘.ed, sir; your Highness does not
treat me as if I were an enemy.’ ‘ How do you
see that ? M r; Abbe.’ said his Highness coldly o-
ver his shou|det——‘ Because, sir, answered the
Abbe, ‘ your 1-lighness never turns his back upon
an enemy.’ ‘ My dear Abbe,‘ exclaimed the
Prince, turning round and taking him by the hand,
‘it is quite impossible for any man to be angry
with you,’ and so ended his Highness’ animosity.
Anecdote oft/ze late Gevzeret Koscz'z:sko.—Kosci-
usko once wished to send some bottles of good
wine to a clergyman at Solothurn ; and as he lies-
itated to send them by his servant lest he should
smuggle a part, he gave the commission to a
young man of the name of Zeltner, and desired
him to take the horse which he himself usually
rode. On his return, young Zeltner said that he
would never ride his horse again, unless he gave
him his purse at the same time. Kosciusko ask-
ed what he meant, he answei'ed‘As soon as a
poor man on the road takes off his hat and asks
for charity, the horse immediately stands still,
and won’t stir till something is given to the peti-
tioner ; and asl had no money about me, I was
obliged to make believe to give something, in or-
der to satisfy the horse.’

From late London /zrzjzciu.
Old Bttilei/, Drsc. l8.—-VVilll.i:n l‘/'alf'()i‘tl, an el-
derly man, whose dress was the rcnitiant of better
days, stood at the barof this court upon an indict
ment charging him Wllll a robbery. The poor
man seemed to be no common thief, and to feel
keenly his deplorable situation. The charge was
investigated, and'tlie wretched man, by incontro-
vertible evidence, proved to be guilty. He was
called upon for his defence, when he delivered
the following narrative, which created a deep
sympathy and compassion for the wretched de-
linquent, who was himself overpowered by the
recital of his sufl'ei'ings. He stated that he was
some few years ago possessed of friends, fortune,
and independence, but by an unfortunate specula-
tion he lost all that he possessed. His property
was sold to pay his creditors, and after some time,
instead of being with abeloved wife and seven
children in a mansion elegantly furnished, sur-
rounded by friends, with all that was necessary
‘to gratify the most unbounded desires, he found
himself in an obscure lodging, with his family
entirely dependant on him for support. He pro-
cured a situation as clerk in a mercantile house,
and kept his family as decently as he could ; but
his wife was unable to support the sudden transi-
tion front splendour, and she eloped with a man
who professed to be his friend when he was in a
state of prosperity. The house in which he had
procured a situationfailed, and he was left with-
out friends and without the means of procuring
even suliicicnt to saiisfy the cravings of nature of
himself and children. In an agonizing moment,
when his little ones were crying for bread, he
took an article belonging to the landlady of the
house in which he lived (furnished lodgings) and
pledged itfor 35. This trifle purchased food, and
was a temporary relief; two days elapsed and he
found himself and children again in the state be-
fore described, and took another article and pledg-
ed that for halfa crown, and at different periods
continued the same practice, till he had pledged
property to the amount of two or three pounds.
His landlady discovered the robbery, and he was
apprehended ; but he beggedtlie court to bear in
mind that_he‘was not a thief in principle ; nothing
but dire distress would ever have driven him to
the commission of an unlawful act. He could
not bear to see his children starving, and he should
be adding to liisolfence if he were to attempt to
deny that he had not done that with which he
stood charged.
The witnesses were called up again by the
Common'Serjeant, and interrogated as to the
truth of theiprisoner’s statement, and they con-
firmed it_; the pawn-broker with whom the prop-
erty was pledged, stated that he knew the prison-',
not keep them; Such‘ tier-sons covet secrets as a.

The treasures of, this Scheme are not absorbed
by one or two overgrown Prizes, as is common-

therefore more usefully distributed.
The punctuality of the managers in drawing
the first Class of this Lottery, and their prompt
payment of tire Prizes, gives them confidence in
issuing this, the second and last Class, together.
with the laudable purpose for which the grant
was made, they confidently hope uili induce the
public to patronize this.
All Prizes subject to the usual deduction of
fifteen per cent ; and Prizesless than 100 dollars
