THE WITII ERED LEAF.
SI’.U‘.E the lone leaf, thou bitter blast,
Tlizit decks you blighted bongh,

That lingers on it now.
It mocks thee not, its green is gone,
It bears t:o mark ofspring,
See.,it is torn and old and wan,
Then, tempest, let it cling! , T
They‘ call that wither’d, wasted tree,
The niotiurch ofthe wood ;
And long in mockery ofthee,
Its stately honors stood.
But time will scathe the liardiest form,
And blight the fairest face;
Its trunk is shatter’d by the storm,
And fled its leafy race.
Then spare thatone, so sickly brown,
Oh ! dash it not to theeartli!
The faithful leafthat stays to crown
Tile bough that gave ‘it birth.
' bus tnnnarcl‘.s flourisj‘ii I thus they fall '.
-Thus some untimely lionr -
Finds them bereft of wealth,‘ and all
They e’er could boast of power.
Yet ah, how few that find a friend,
‘Wlio bask’d iti fort'.inc’s smile, ~
Still faitliful linger to the end,
Tliough dark her frown the while.
Then spare the leaf, thou bitter blast,
That decks you blighted boughl
Oh spare it! for it -is the last,

./Ymlrew J(lt.'f£.S‘02t.-—-All early, and even pre-
cociouspupil of’7t5——at the age of 16 a sol-
dier of liberty by inclination—-at a inaturer
age acivilian by habit. It is a remarkable
fact, not sufficiently known, that he was frotn
youth to maturity, the most industrious stu-
dent of practical knowledge that our age has
produced. Tlte distinguished traits of his
character are, quickness of preception, (per-
haps quickness oftemper also,) rapid ra=.ioci-
nation, decision of purpose; indefatigable
perseverance; and generosity, _e 'cn to the
point of chivalry; courage and integrity we
need not infer: they grow spontaneously in
such a‘soil.
Jo/".21 Quincy u?dams.—A politician by edu-
cation, who grasped the diplomatic quill, as
private secretary to a foreign embassy, at a-
bout the same age that Jackson shouldered
his musket—-—a man of inherent talent for
business, of great acquirements, ofundoubted’
patriotism, but of cynical ira.=.cability, which
the court of discipline of forty years has not
quite subdued. He is a good tlieorist on the
.subject of “ Etiquette,” but the most indiffer-
entinan iuthe world as to the practice. He
is neither so gent] as his friends, nor so bad as
his enemies Httltlll make him appear. His
faults will be r<~;.;embei'etl and exaggerated
of course; but it is.0ut' duty not to fdrget his
merits.
Henry C’loy—One ofotir choice spirits—an
iiiteger, and no trifling one, in otir sum oftal-
cnt.—He is one of the striking in:-:taiices of
the versatility of character peculiar to our na-
tion, and one of the strongestsecurities ofthe
moral force which binds our confederacy: ar-
dent, eloquent, sagacious; assiduous or con-
vivial, accordlttg to cii'curiistepicc-—-witli great
practical knowledge of social life, and the
most glowing affection to the cause of univer-
sal fret-,dom.—No man can gather up the robe
of dignity with more readiness, or relax it
with more grace.
John C. Cal/toim—-Modesty, but conspicu-
ously in the back ground of the group. He
could not, ifhe would, be otherwise than con-
.<picuous.—In the darkest corner, hisintrin-
sic light, like that of the-diamond, would lead
the eye towards him. Atthe age ef£".°l, he
could :-hinccqually in the drawing-rooni, in
the library, or in acotisiiltatiou among the
veterans of science.——-He, ifhis life it spared,
will be one of our Presidents.—He combines
in his cliaracter the fire and zeal of Patrick
Henry, with the calm and innate virtues of
J efferso‘n.

We have nothing to do with the gnawings of
conscience which are supposed bysome to
ltave acc'elerated premature debility, furtlier
than to admit the probability of such an ef-
fect, in such a case, upon a nervous system
with such ateinp'ei'mcitt. If he should ever
be President of the United States, his ability
will be competent to the office in times of
tranquilit ' ; and his temper, we hope, chas-
tcned by the severe aniinadversions which Itis
mistaken friends have wrung from those "who
were willing to love and respect him.
These sketches are not too bold, nor over-

SU1’RRS'1‘l'1‘l0N.-—On the trial of the in-
dictnient, the'Stalc vs. Scoby, at the late term
oftlte Superior Court in this county,a witness
for a certain prominissory note which he—had
made to the defendant, who is a physician.—
He’.=said it was given ‘ for curing him" of his
ailments sotne time ago.’ Upon being press-
ed to state the nature oftliose ailments, he ad-
mitted, though with great reluctance, that it
w'as wilchcraft—or what he believed to be so.
He was about 60 years old, and on the death
ofhis wife and on breaking up ofhis fatnily,
he became melancholy and uucomfortable.——
While in this situation, he was bcwilchcd by 92
women a few years older than liiuiself, one of
whoni—he called her ‘ a bouncing widow’--
lived in anotlter part of the saitte house with
him, and the other in the neiglibourhood.——
These fiiirladies, or the likeness ofthem—he
.was not certain which,‘tltough he was rather
inclined to believe them pure spirits—played
him many unlady like pranks. They were
accustomed to enter his apartment after he
had retired to rest, anti flash upon him strange
lights, and fix their eyes upon him with an
uneartlily gaze, and use strange signs and
gesticulations that were not ofthis world. At
otlter times they would bring with tltcm the
likeness oftwo other strange womeii—pr0ba-
bly the tenants oftlte neighboring grave yard
——-and the whole party would sit down in his
chimney corner and smoke their pipes for
lionrs together, in a most ghost-like ttiaiiner.
He used to abjure them by all that was sacred,
to speak to him; but the grave has no voice,
and their mysterious silence was uiore horri-
ble, than even their unearthly visits. He was
then asked ifhe took care to secure his door
against them. He said, no,——lie always left it
on the latch, “ for why should I fasten ita-
gainst the like of them, who can wliisk thro’
.1 crack or a key-hole ?”
Upon being further questioned, whetlicr
they ever appeared in any other than human
shapc——he scented to recoil from the recollec-
tion, and declined answering toe qu-:-stion.—-
But upon being urged to tell the whole truth,
he paused for at moment to collect his powers,
and after a severe mental struggle, which was
apparent from liisglisteiiiiig eye and sliml-
dering framc~lie confessed that they some-
times came in the shape of———iioi‘.sr—:s.-—-—
“ Once,” said he, while every muscle in his
face quivcred at the recollection, “ once I
heard a horse come near the house iirthe eve-
ning, and pass into the lield directly under my
window. I loked out, and saw him feeding.
I went close up to him, put my arm round his
neck, and was just drawing the llallCl',\Vll€ll--
These feats ofwitchcraft were it little more
than hunian patience could endure. The
witness applied for reliel to Dr. Scoby, who,
he believed, had a medicine that was ‘ good
against witches.’ The learned Doctor fully
justified this conlideiice, for he professed to
be able, not only to cure witchcraft, but to
combat the higher powers which ‘caused it.-
He accordingly appointed an hour, went with
the witness into his apartment, carefully so-
cured the doors and windows, and after kind-
ling a large fire took from himvabout aquart
of blood, which was solcntiily l)ttrtit—wlietlier
as a sacrifice to the Demons of witclicraft, or
not, does not appear. It however eliectedgits
purpose. The witches no longer haunted the
earth, either as old wornen or horses, and the
grateful witness who was now ‘cured ofhis
ailnients,’ gave the successful Doctor a note
as he alleged. for nine dollars, which by some
witcliny, in the course of two days becanie a
note for Ninety dollars,-aiid obliged the knight
ofthe Lancet, in the progress of time to ans-
wer to an indictment for forgery ; of whicli,
however, he was on trial acquitted; there be‘.-
ing no witness against him buttlie diseu_thral-

'1‘I.'!'.' ISLAND OI-‘ cons.
A Writer in the Missionary herald, who
spent a part ofthe last winter and spring in
the interior of Cuba, and was couversantwith
platitcrs and rural scenery, has couiniunicated
for that work some interesting and instructiv.e
remarks on the productions and cultivation of
the island. The article being too long for
our columns, we shall endeavour to give our
readers the most important ideas in a condeii--
sed form.
The island extends about 800 miles in
length, and 75 in breadth, containing nearly
60,000 square miles—an area exceeding that
ofEiigland and ‘Wales. Its position is such,
that owing to the iiillucnce ofthe trade winds
and ofthe Gulfstream, which separates it'fr.
Ivlorida, the vast amount of produce, which
comes down the Mississippi, and fr. all ports
on the Gulf, passes of necessity almost within
sight of Havana, the capital of the island, be-
fore it can come into the Atlantic oceitti.'—
The couiiiicrcial importance of Cuba, alrea-
dy very great, will therefore increase with
the nnprovcment ofthe iiiiniensc and fertile
countries bordering on the gulf of Mexico.
The scenery of Cuba is, in general, either
beautiful or roinantic. Tito surface oftlte iii-
terior is diversified with hills and vallies,plains
and mountains. A ridge extends the whole
length ofthe island from east to west, with
some. interruptioiis. In one place, it yields to
7‘ PIN”: 60 miles wide, which reaches across
the island. This plain possesses a rich soil ;
but a small portion only is cultivated. The
forests arealmost impervious,——the trees be-
ing crowded, and tied together by festooiis of
creepers. In some parts, of the island are
large tracts ofcleared, uneven country, de-
voted chiefly to pasturage. Almost every
where is seen splendid variety and iuexliaust-
able richness. The plains and vallies are, of
course, the most fertile. The soil oftliese is
ill
depth,.bul'geuerally three or foot‘ feet, and
resting on limestone orclay, or a. liardeiied
compound of both. '.l‘liey -appear to have
passed off through the opeitingsin the in,oiin-
laitts. On the plains, the more valuable plati-
tations ofsugar, coffee and tobacco, are chie-
fly situated." The iiionntains are little else
than masses of limestone, the soil having been
washed into the vallies and plains, by the ter-
rents ofrain, that fall at certain seasons of
the year. The,soil most suitable for coffee,
most common, is a mixture of clay and sand,
coloured by an oxide ofiron. Its colour ap-
proaches to a scarlet—it is sometimes used as
the basis ofa paint—below the surface, it is
moist and colfesivc. The best soil for the sti-
gar cane is a deep black mould. This too, is
pretty common. The dividing line between
the red and black, is generally distinct, and
the transition from the one to the other, sud-
den. The Madruga mountains, called bythe
sailors, ‘ The Iron Hills,’ have the red soil on
the north side, and the black on the soutli——
tlte line of division running along the siimtnit.
There is another kind of soil, composed of
red and black, in different degrees, ‘illlefl _tlte
inulatto soil. It lies on a bed ofclay. and re-
quires inuclt draining,but is highly productive.
The productions ofCuba are sugar‘, coffee,
tobacco, cotton, rice, maize, plant:iins,banan-
as, yams, sweet potatoes, and all the various
kinds of vegetables and fruits that grow in
tropical climates. Two, and sometimes three
crops of maize may be obtained in ft year.-—
Whcat and Oats would flourish. Rice is
produced oti the black and iiiulatto soils dur-
ing the rains, in abundance. Cotton is not
productive, but is a native ofthe island, and
ofa superior quality. Sugar, coffee and to-
bacco are the principal productions. The
latter is raised on the West and south-west
parts oftlieisl-and. Tho superior quality of
the H avana tobacco is attributed to the nature
oftlte soil on which it grows. That produced
in dilI’erentdisti'icts, is thought to possess ve-
ry unequal excellence. Only a small portion
of the island, perhaps one sixth, is cultivated
in any way. In the jurisdiction of Havana,
which extends over millions ofacrcs, only
3,396,170 are improved. It is estimated that
3:} million acres on the island are unimprov-
ed ; and yet uiore tltaii’9l5 million ofthese are
arable, and exceedingly rich. The planters
have paid little attention to manuriug their
lands. They spread over the surface the de-
cayed leaves and stems ofthe sugar cane and
other vegetables.
The t:.\;p0rt5 from the island, are chiefly fr.
Havaiia and Mzttanzzis. There were shipped
from these ports in the year £823, 1523,00t),o00
pounds ofSugar, and 226,694,024 lbs. of Cof-
fee——-tbe value of which was §El3,5l8,90.‘l.-—
This amount ofcxports, in connexion with the
facts, that :2’ iiiillioii acres ofrich land rc-
uiuiiiuncultivetcd,aiid tliatrtlic situation of
the island renders it the key ofall the coun-
tries lying around tlieiitilfof Mexico, sltows
of what vast importance it must hereafter be-
come in it cotiiniercial point ofvieu. Add to
this the circniiistaiice thatitltarhorsthe hordes
ofpit ates, who cover the neighboring seas,and
prey upon the coiiitiiercc of the SU|'l‘0llllClll‘lg

SABBATH SCHOOL ANECDOTXZS.
The following anecdote was l’Blkll€'.(I at a
meeting ofthe Association ofSunday School
Teacliers, by one of the mcinbe.s, and it is a
scriking exaiiiple of the utility of Sabbath
Schools, and proves the force of habit, and
may teach how highly such habits should be
appreciated. '
A inissionary to one ofthe, western counties
of this state, held a meeting oil a Sumlay eve»
mug, in a thinly inhabited country. Tlze
roads were so bad, that travelling in any oth-
er way than on foot was irnpracticable; the
difficulties he had to encounter almost dis-
heartened him; and lie began to fear that he
should not do any good in so tiiipmiiiisitig a
country. When he came tothe place where
the rneeting was held, he found a few collect-
ed togcthcr ; some from a distittitze as far as
he had come hiniself. As soon as he was sea-
ted, he was surprised to see a boy neatly dres-
sed approaching, and after sliakiiig ‘nun affec-
tionatcly by the hand, he asked the mission=t-
ry if he recollcctetl him. Years had passed
since they had lllt.‘l,2ll'tt.l the image ofhis Stin-
day scholars, with their names, had been for-
gotten. Did you nor, inquired the boy,teach
in the Sunday school in - ? and do not you
ren‘iembcr the boy who was your class moni-
tor? My dear Jvitlllet-I, said the delighted mis-
sionary, taking botlt the hands of the boy ex-
tended with his own, (and pressing theiti as
the cit'c-unistaiices connected with the Sitti-
day school fiaslieti across his inind,) my dear
hoy,how yet: have altered in looks—liow glad
Inn: to meet you here-—liow came you to this
meeting? .1 had heard, said the boy, that a
missionary froui New York was to preach
here this evening; and I wanted to see if he
knew any thing about our Sunday school :—
besides, since I used to go to school on Stin-
day, I would mttch rather attend church. I
do not know what to do with myself. I was
so glad when I heard there was to be a meet-
ing in our township once more. The surprise
at meeting a Sunday scholar in this wilder-
uess,only equalled the delight he experienced
at the consciousness, thatone boy had, by his
instrumentality, acquired the habit of attend-
lug divine worship when he liatl an opportu-
nity. The thought that he might fartlier‘ad-
Vance the good work that had been founded
on so good a basis,added fresh vigor to his tie-
sporiding feelings, and he entered upon his
duties with renewed ardour. Such an occur-
rence as this speaks volumes in favor of Sab-
bath schools. The child might have attended
at first from necessity or compttlsioii ; by de-
grees he had practised until it became habitu-
al ; and when far away frotti the influence and
coniniands ofthe Sunday school, he still re-
tained all its habits, and that day walked ina-
ny a rough mile, with at desire to be present
at a meeting ofCltristians ofthe. same deno-
mination, with whom he had five years before
been accustomed on Sundays to associate.

Mr. , was once a respectable and in-
dustrious man; but through the influence of
his evil companions, he yielded to the tempt-
ation of liquor, and soon became a poor,
wortltless, and miserable beincr.
Ifhe had been the only person that suffer-
ed, the evil would have been coniparitirely
small ;but he had-an ali'et:tion:ite fainily, who

cursing and bitterness—-consuiniiig the provi-
sions lii_s.wife’had procured—cursing her be-
cause she had no tnore,and thus depriving the
distressed family ofthe lastinorscl of bread.
\Vhile the family were in this condition,
they were visited by a friend-the cliildren’s
frienrl, who invited their little girl to attend
lll8.SE1lJI)alllSCll0nl. With her niothcr’s con-
sent she entered the scltool; and very soon was
able to read, and in some-" measure to iint‘.er-
stand the Scriptures. One Sabbath morning
as she was’preparing for school, her father,(as
he had frequently done before,) began quarcl-
ling with her mother, and said in an angry
tone, which made the little girl treniblc—
“ Wife, there is no need ofniaking such a fuss
about Sabbath schools ; Mary shall not go
thereany more—she learns nothing.” Her
mother began to plead in belialfoftlie school,
and her father became still more enraged 3-
wlieti she stepped between them, the tears
rolling down her cheeks, and said, “Fatlierl
do learn at the Sabbath school.” After curs-
ing her, he asked, “ Wliat do you learn ?"-—-
Slie replied, “Father, Ihave. learned what
God says about those that swer, and grit drusnlr
aml l))'C(1]i'.”lC Sabbath.” He then asked her
what God said about sncli persons? She ran
and brought her little Bible; and ttiriiittg it
over, read to him front the sacred volume,
“ The Lord will not hold him guitless that ta-
kcth his name in vain.”—“ And drunkards
shall not inherit the kingdom ofGotl.”—“I{e-
nieinber the Sabbath day to keep it holy.”-
Conviction imniediately seized upon his con-
science, and he fell upoti the floor, exclaim-
ing, “ Oh what shall I do—\vh'.tt‘sllttll Ido to
be saved?" He was led to the arms ofa gra-
cious Saviour, and we are assured that he is
now pursuing the path ofdt.-ty,and that every
Sabbath morning he takes his little daughter
by the hand, and leads her to the Sabbath
scltool.—S. S. Visitctizt.
CAPT. JOHN C. SYMMF.S.—-In the Narra-
tive of Major Long’s second Expedition, a-
bout to be published in Pliiladelphia, the fol-
lowing account is given ofCapt. Sytiiiiics:
“At Newark the party fell in with Capt.
John Cleves Symines, a ninn whose eccentric
views on the iiatnrc of the globe, have acqui-
red for hint, not only in America, but also in
England, a temporary reputation. The par-
tial insanity ofthis man is of a more singular
nature. It has cattscd him to pervert, to the
support of an evidently absurd doctrine, all
the facts,- which, by close study, he ltas been
enabled to collect from a vast number of an-
thoritics. He ap; rs conversaiit with every
work oftt‘:i'.'elsfrom Hcai‘tie’s to I-Iumholt’s,
and there is not a fact to be found in these
which he does not manage with (‘.tIl‘lslti€'.2'2ll.)le
ingenuity, to bring to the support ofhis favor-
ite doctrine. Upon other subjects he talks
sensibly, and as a well-informed man. In lis-
tening to his expositions of his views of the
concavity of our globe we felt that interest
whiclt is inevitably awakeited by the abbot‘:-
tious ofan unregulated mind, possessed prob-
ably of acapacity too great for the narrow
sphere in which it was doomed to live ; and
which has constimcd itself with the fire, whicli
ifpioperly applied,~.vould doubtless have illu-
inined some obscure point in the science wltich
it so strcngl;.' '.tfi'e -ts. In another point of
view, Capt till Syinuies has a claim to our best
sympathies for the gallantry with which he
served his country during the war.”

is more cunning than a Spaniel? A dog of
this kind was trained to carry money to his
m:is‘ter’s friends. One <lay,e2iiployed on this
ert‘::nd, he had a fierce. quarrel with some pet'-
ulent curs, who made an attack upon him.—
Tile Spaniel was brave, and not adverse to
the ctraiilmt, but a great difficulty 6ll)l)Ill'l"c‘.SSetl
him. He carried in his mouth a crown piece
——so that his assailants hit him terribly, when
he_ could not retaliate. His situation was 2)
trying one. So, running immediately to cott-
ceal his crown in a neighb-oring walk, he re-
turiicd fiercely and routed them. After this
scuffle, our champion went back, breathless,
to recover his money-——-but some oflicious
knave had taken it away. The distressed
creature returned, dragging his tail between
his legs, and holding his ear to the ground.——
He was traversing the streets, sadly, when he
heard the cliinking of silver—the clerk of a
rich banker was_just counting otit the contents
of some liags ofsilver, in a hall or) the ground
floor. Tile arch creature profited by his
good fortune to retrieve his loss. In an in-
stant he leaped through an open window, sei-
zed the crown which was wanted, departed as
quickly as he c.-mic, and succeeded,in spite
oftlte blows ofthe servants, in performing his
mission. This is remarkable enough in a
brute.
It was thus that the Spaniel avoided
the ptitiisltnic-tit he would otherwise have re-
ceived. His master, liowever, being informed
ofthe circumstance, forgave hini;but he took
care to make hint, the next day, carry to the
banker another crown, in the place of that he
had taketi away.
