ll‘ TRAITS or The Asomcincs or AiuEiticA.”I
We have this week selected from the Chris-
tian Spectator,f_urth‘er extracts from this beau-
tiful poem. In the first the author paints, in:
glowing colours, the coiiflagration ofthe Che-
haw villages in 1818, and the massacre ‘of the
inhabitants.
“ VVhat piercing shrieks of woe _ _
Break from those bounds where clust’ring fo-
liage shades ',»,
The Cheliaw villages! A moment since
And all was peace. Those simple, lowly cells
And cultivated gardens seem’d the abode
Ofrural happiness. Now, the green turf
Where spring was strewing her pure blos-
_ soins, reeks
‘With living crimson. On the furrow’d field,
\Vhich his own hand was planting,sudden falls
Tlieunarm’d father ;his young children shriek
Around their dwelling, and th’ unconscious
babes '
Cling to their captive mothers. Angry bands
Urge wide the work of death.
Devouring flames
Involve each dwelling. Blazing columns rise
Promiscuous, glaring o’cr the luridsky.
Wild shouts of terrors, agonizing flight,
Unequal conflict, groans of gasping death,
Vary the awful drama. Wreaths of smoke
Curtain dim twilight, and affrighted eve,
Lighted by fiery and unnatural lamps,
Sinks on her couch. Reluctant rays illutne
The third dark day of horror. Ruin wriiigs
Her bitterest dregs- The sword is cloy’d with
n blood, droops
The flames are famisli’d ; the ;scorch’d foliage
Over a black drear desert, and no voice '1
Of rustic labor or of cheerful song
Survives. O’er calcin’d ruins, steep’d in gore,
Stalks Desolation ; while no sound disturbs ‘
His drear dominion, save the heavy tramp
Of haughty victors, save the shrill response
_Ofpipe,and drum,and clarion,clanioringloud
Triumphantjoy. I see the throngiiig band
Emerging from the vale; their banners float
Amid the forest, and a captive train,
Helpless and weeping, follow.
. ' Who are those,
Red from the bloody wine-press, with its Stain
Dark’ning their raiment ? Yet I dare not ask
Their clime ~ and lineage, lest the accusing
blasts, .
‘Waking the aiigry echoes, should reply,
"‘ Thy countrymen.”

_ The author concludes his poem with the fol-
lowing solemn address to his countrymen :

“ My Country ! Rouse
From thy deep trance! Divide the long-
' drawn veil

Britannia’s bright example; she who said
"To Africa, “ Be free.” Awake and hear
From Heaveii’s high arch the awful question

break l_“’a.l’:
“ Where fs thy brother ?” Vtfilt thou turn a-
Answeriug, “I know not l''’ with concealment

vain
Or arrogitntly asking, “ Why should I
Be made my brother’s keeper r”

View the day .
Of retribution ! Think how thou wilt bear
From thy Redeemer’s lips the fearful words,
1: Thy brother, perishing within thy gates,
Thou saw’st. Thy brother hunger’d,was atlnrst,
Was naked, and thou saw’st it. He was sick,
And thou withheld’st the healing: wasm prison,
To vice and Ignorance, nor did’st thou send
To set him free.” Oh ! ere that hourofdoom
'Whence there is no reprieve, my Countrywake
From thy dark dream!
The time of Hope,

Swift and returnless. \Vhat thou hast to do,
Do with thy might. Haste I lift aloud thy voice,
And publish on the borders of the pit,

The restirrectioti. Bid thy heralds bear ‘
To thy own wilds, Salvation. Strike the harp
OfGod’s high praises mid thy deserts lone,
And let thy mountains speak them. Lo!
_ they rise

'Wafted on every gale. From Afric’s sands,
From chill Siberia, from the restless wave
Ofturbid Ganges, from the spicy groves,
And from the sea-green islands. Rise ! and

_ spread [Seas
That name which must be borne from sea to
And from the river to the utmost bounds
Ofthe wide world. Then, when the ransom’d
come

To hear the vallies-and the hills break-‘forth
Before them into singing ; thou shaltjoin
The raptur’d strain, exulting that the Lord
Jehovah, God Omnipotent doth reign

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE AT MALTA.

_ Mr. Goodell, one ofthe missionaries ofthe
American Board,has written a letter from Mal-
ta,.un‘d'er date of Feb. 12th, to a gentleman in
Boston‘. The following interesting extract from
this letter was published in the Bost. Recorder.

4 “A feast, obse.rved in all Catholic countries
before Lent,‘ has made the three last, days of
riot. It is if masquerade, always commenc-
ing on the Sabbzitli preceding Lent, and con-
tinuing three days; during which time, the
Maltese a'ssiir_n’e almost any character and
commit almost any sin they please.—Ma|e
and female, old and young, throng the most
frequented ways in mask; men habited like
women; women like men ; and generally all
aiming to appear‘ as hideous‘, as monstrous, or
as ridiculuous as possible. Some of them
have a nose more than ha'lfa"s large as an or-
dinary human face; some of them have a wig
like a judge, and‘ amouth extending almost
from ear to ear; while others‘ represent ‘the.
devil and his angels.’ If you can imagine

conceive the scene ofthis ‘carnival.’ Indeed,
sir, as they have forty days of Lent to fast, and

mined not to do it for nothing-. Yesterday, as
being the la_sf, was the most licentiously- fest-
ive of tli'e three days ; and last night as con— "
cludiiig the whole, would have been given up
to the‘ most clamorous, indecent, and unre-
strained merriment, had‘ not an awful provi-
dence intérposed to stop such revelling. I
.have takenimuch pains to.ltnow- the circum-
stances ofthis providence, and as near as'I
can ascertain them they are as follows :-—

‘ Soriieof the people, convinced of the im-
propriety of the boys’ witnessing such scenes
oflewdness and abomination, have been in the
habit’ of contributing something to" encourage
avpriest to'take‘and'keep'froni the city, during
theafternoon of Tuesday, as‘ many boys as -

v

. _ . , I _ g y __ g ‘
’ them bread, nuts, fruits, Ste. as areward.—

Last evening, as the priest returned with them
in procession, heftook them into one of the
convents of the city to give them their reward.

eiit. , Perhaps the number was not so great,
perhaps it was greater. ‘In order to give them
all an equal opportunity, and to prevent any
from returning fora second reward, the were

' led in at one door of the convent, con‘ ucted

to a large hall on the second floor, where they
received their collation ; and were then to

ed, sent down in a different direction to pass
out at another door. I am of the opinion,
from inspecting the place-, and from all I can
learn, (for the accounts are contradictory,) that
they ran down several steps ; then through a
long narrow passage ; and again down sever-
al more steps to the door; and that those be-
ing pressed against the door by those imme-
diately behind them, were unable to open it;
while those in the rear, not knowing the cause
of the difficulty, pressed on with all the tho’t-
lessness of youth. At the same time a multi-
tude ofpoor people were rushingin at the oth-
er door for a morsel of bread. The priest,
hearing the disturbance, and suspecting the
boys were returning for a second collation,
gave orders to shut the other door, and to force
them down the way he had directed them to
go. But, whether these are the circumstan-
ces, I am by no means confident; yet sad, to
relate, when the door was broken in which it
was, as soon as the real difficulty was discov-
ered, no less than one hundred and _/ifly had
already expired from pressure and suffocation;
and many others were in the agonies ofdeath,
or had even ceased to breathe, but were af-
terwards restored. The poor boys, in the mo-
ment of-anguish and desperateness, and in at-
tempts to extricate themselves, had bitten and
torn each other in a shocking manner. Some,
both ofthe living and the dead, had ati ear
torn off, or a limb broken, or a piece bitten
from the cheek. They were generally be-
tween 8 and 12 years of age, though sortie
were even 9.0. By this calamity, one family
has lost three children ; another family five;
another seven; and almost every family a rel-
ative. Between forty and fifty of the dead
were taken away by their friends, and more
than a hundred were brought to the hospital,
a few steps from our door. The streets,which
but one moment before were filled with noisy
mirth, were now literally filled with “ weep-
ing,lamentation,and woe.”——-I never saw more
sad faces, or heard more piteous groans. The
Maltese, unaccustomed to restrain their feel-
ings, lifted up their voices and wept aloud-
‘Rachcl weeping for her children, and refus-
ing to be comforted because they were not.’——
Some parents, when they found their children
alive, became frantic with joy; while others,
as they learned that one, and another, and a-
other oftheir children were dead,became fraii-
tic with grief. One poor father, who had lost
all his children, this morning dashed out his
brains! They do indeed “ sorrow as those
who have no hope.” “Their faces are foul
with weeping, and on their eye-lids is the shad-
ow of death.”—Sonie are for pulling down the
convent; others for destroying all the priests;
while others think the Saviour partial in spar-
ing the English, and inflicting judgments on
them.—-From four o’clock this morning till
since sun setting, the dead have been convey-
ed by our door for burial. Most of them are
conveyed a mile from the city, and cast into
their graves without a coffin,and a large quan-
tity oflime thrown upon them to consume the
bodies immediately. Such is the finishing of
this ‘carnival.’ I fear itwill produce no last-
ing impressions. The people seem to know
nothing of the consolations of the Christian,
nor do they seem to have any proper ideas of
the divine administration. The priests will
probably improve the occasion to establish
their own authority, and to bind the people
more strongly in the chains of ignorance and
superstition. But He, who has afflicted, can
sanctify the affliction. May every Christian,
to whom these sad tidings shall be told, lift up
his lieartin prayer to God, ‘that this people
may ttirn unto liiiri that sinitetli tlietn.’

GIBRALTAR.--In a letter to a friend inNew
Haven, Mr. Goodell makes the following re-'
marks upon Gibraltar, at which he stopped on
his passage out :-—“ Gibraltar is altogether
unlike any thing we ever before thought of:
every thing looks like romance. Vile had an
opportunity of ascending the Rock to its very
summit; looking down its frightful precipices ;
entering its caverns, excavations, and castles;
surveying its bastions and iinpregnable bul-
warks; and walking aniidst its gardens, its
statutes, its sepulchres, and its ten thousand
plants, and fruits, and flowers. The flowers
are not distinguished for their fragrance, but
they are of every line; and to view them in
contrast with the frosts and snows of America,
gave a livelier interest to the novelty.* The
inhabitants are a perfect miscellany-having
come from almost every country; being of
almost every complexion and religion; and all
retaining their own peculiar dress, language,
and manners. The number of Jews amount to
between 2 and 8,000.
synagogues; are industrious to a proverb ;
possess great wealth ; but, like their fathers,
are stained with the amazing guilt ofrejcct-
ing Christ. Many of the better informed a-
mong these descendants ofAbraham, it is said
are infidels, and nothing but national pride
and obstinacy induces them to conform to
their ancient observanccs.

 

* It will be recollected that the missionaries
left this coimlry in the dead qfwlnlcr, and had
not probably seen land before.

 

From the .Ncw- York Spectator.

There is a fondness for the marvellous, and
a good share ofcreditlity, existing in every
community; and were Joan of Arc, Joanna
Southcoat, or Jemima Wilkinson, to re-ap-
pear, there is no doubt that each might find a
goodly nutnber of followers, even among the
enlightened Gotliainites. Ever since the
weather became tolerably warm, and nature
began to deck herselfin the freshest and fair-
est vestments fromthe rich wardrobe ofSpring
several of our old Knickerbocker friends have
been predicting that this city was again to be
afilicted by the desolatiiig pestilence. Indeed
before the evening ofthe first really warm day
with which we were cheered in May, one of
our Physicians informed tis that rumour had
that day" made tip two cases ofyellow fever,
and he had already had fifty inquiries about
it, But those who imagine they can look far-
ther into a niill-stone than the man who picks

he can'pe‘rsuade to follow him by pyomising 5

it, have not been left alone to prophecy dis-

It is said, that a thousand children were pres-‘

wash of a neighboring kitchen comes in con-
tact with theirjolfactory nerves. A miracle
has been called in to their assistance, which
has afforded a fortnight’s food for all the gos-
sips, and wonder-mongerson the island. The
story is, 'that a new-born babe at Brooklyn,
when it first found itselfin this wonder-loving
world of ours, raised its little hands and eyes,
and solemnly proclaimed that the whole of JV‘.
York was to_b'e desolated with the yellow fever
the present season, beyond any former afiiction
of the kind that has ever be/‘ullcm it, and that
those who should escape the ravages of the pes-
tilence woumi NOT BE SUFFICIFZNTLYNUMER-
oos '1‘O BURY THE DEAD! ! The prophetic
words were uttered in deep and solemn tones,
and, as we learn, in verse, rivalling, probably,
the loftiest efforts of the muse ofDavid, Solo-
mon, or Milton. Having uttered this porten-
tons warning, and accomplished the great ob-
ject of its mission, the messenger immediately
closed its eyes, and its spirit departed to the
regions whence it came. Now for an age of
igiioratice and witchcraft,this would be a pret-
ty good story ; and even at the present time,
there has been so rmicli said about it, that we
should not‘be surprised ifa number ofthe shin-
gle-sheds in Greenwich have been taken in
consequence of it. The house, moreover,
where the infant is said to have been born, we
are told was for several days as completely
tlironged, as was ever the tomb ofThomas a’-
Becket. But it happens not to be or'Zginal.—
An infant of similar abilities appeared in Ot-
sego county,just twenty years ago, and proph-
esied sundry wonderful things, and died in
the satne manner, when about five minutes.
old. As the prophecy of 1803 has not yet
been fulfilled, we trust the latter will not be a-
ny more speedily accomplished. But suffi-
cient for the day is the evil thereof. Ifour
city is kept clean, and our quarantine regula-
tions rigidly enforced, there is no danger ofa-
ny utnisual sickness in New-York. Our streets
are not yet clean, but we think they are much
cleaner than formerly, and thus far we are.
well pleased with the new system, of having
an inspector engaged all the time in each
ward. One ofthe most pleasant and useful
improvements that could be made in this city,
would be the adoption of the Boston plan of
double gutters, or slucics under the pavements
to carry off all the wash from kitchens,which,
when let off in the streets as is now the prac-
tice in hot weather, is so offensive to both
sight and smell.
