DEATH.

There is it cloud whose gloomy fold
Hangs o'er Joy's evanescent bower-
’.Vhich makes his warmest ruptures cold,‘
And clothes in dust his gayest hour:
_ It comes, wlit-.ii the excited soul ’
‘_ Ii.-_-els in the ftiluess of the Winc—-
It is it serpent in the bowl .

It slioils the l.-liglititig spell of Truth
Upon its careless rcvelry :
It riiakos the brow a tliouglitftil thing.-
It bids the heart its throb l'CSl.l'-'llll ;
It broods with melancholy wing .
()'er early I ifr.-'3 uritroddcn plain.

It is thcfcsrr Qftlcath -—whose power

Sinks, like the sad and sombre pull
on many a gay, excited hour,

In tliirkenitig darkness over all :

ELIAS WILSON.-—-A SKETCII.

On a summer morniiig, in the year Of
gmce 1575, :1 man was seen iiiiiking his
w,~.y towards a lonely cottage in the vale
of Vuldecti, at the head of Nithsdale; a
glimpse, indeed, of the traveller could now
and then be obtained, for he scented dc-
sirous of concoalriicrit, and his presence
was cliirfly indicated by the rustling ofthe
btlSl‘.GS of hazel and of holly, among wh.
he forced his way, or by the startled birds
—lor the sun had not yet wholly riscn,and
the lark had but newly ascended with his
song. He passed a small st=eam, and,
c tiring to the door of the cottage, by the
side of which a chcesr-press was standing
dripping wi It now wliey, cried, “Marion,
-lllaiioii l”--the door was quickly openotl;
and a young woman threw heist-lf into his
liosoni, saying, “Elias! blrss thee-bless
thee l” “And bless thee too," said he, re-
turuing his wifc’s embrace ; “but this my
love, is no time for vain and worldly affec-
tions. Put on thy mttiitlo, tulle thy little
one in thy arms, and follow me. I have
escaped, almost alone, from it bloody lioltl;
rind here we may no more abide.” She
went into the cottage, and I‘£'lUl‘l]C(.l with
a child of six months old or so,in her arms,
riiilk in ii fl2isk,witli sortie bread and honey,
and said, “Elias, I am rcady : but let us
-unloose the cow and torn tier to the pas-
tiirii, and ripen the door of the fold, so

"‘?l'Ilit1. riicfsliecp may go to the hills, for they

are God’s creatures, and must not perish.”
And he said,“Sut‘ely; for so it is written.”
And he did as she spake, and then left the
cdtagn, accornpariicd by his \vifc& child.
Now E‘iaS and his wife were both young,
and this was the second year of their mar-
riage. They turned their faces towards
that wild and wooden linn, which uriitcs
itself with the deep glen of Dalvecn; and
as they went, Marion looked back on her
home and said, “It is a sweet place, and_
loath am I to leave the heartli irhero we’
fr st kindled our bridal fire, and seek :.
reltige in the gler s and caverns of the ear tli.
Elias it is bitter but, oh! eternal life is
sweet ;’-’ and she clasped her child closer
to her breast, and lullcd it with a little
song of her own making. Tlioy soon on-
tered tlie ravine—souglrt their way along
a path fit t,-nly for a riildcat, and having
rcaclied a sort of cavern or recess in the
rocks, they pau-ed and sat down oiia rude
bench of stone, with a table of the same
l—'.itid before them, rrpon which Elias turn-
cd to his wife, took the child into his bo-
som, and sa'id——“sce how geeii the trees
are—liow pure that falling wa'ei' is—how
rich the wild flowers blossoni—and how
bright the suosliino is, seeking to liiid us
out amid the thick botiglis which encircle
our den of refuge. Look ye down the
vale of Nitb, and look ye tip to heaven.-
He who rulcs above, spread out this beau-
tcous land beneath our feet, and bring yon
mirvcllous canr-py over our heads; and
rave unto us the lowls.of the air, the fish
of the stream, and the beasts of the field
for our inherrtaiice. But the wickedness
of man mars the bounty of God. We are
deprived of our patrimony ; we are hunt-_
ed to the desert place, and are forbidden
to sing the praises of Him who dwt Us on
high, under ionahy oflinrb and life. But
be not, therefore cast down, my love, not
disquic-ted : when the doors of the earth
are closed, those of heaven will be open-
ed ': let us retire further in this wild and
St:ltl0l]l troddcn glen, and then lift tip our

. voices, freely and without fear, to God,-—

for assuredly he is wrotli with us because
ol our fears.” And Marion zinswered,:ind
said, “So be it Elias." And they arose,’
and continued their journey along tll€ rude.
path which the accitleittal foot of man and
beast had fashioned in that wild ravine.-
Soiiietimes the way scaled a steep and
fearful crug--soriietinit-s ii crept among

' the fantastic roots of the oak- and the

beech-and soincliiiies it wont to'the very
margin oftlie lion, where the rock cleft as
it were in two, disclosed the -foaming
stream at the perpendicular depth of fifty
and soiiietinies a hundred fatlioins.

At length, liowever, they reached what
This was
a rude but not ringraccfrrl sort of temple,‘
formed by the earlier labors of the brook,
out of riiassy froc-.~toiio riick,—-in the rude-

geniotis artist might almost perceive the
dawn ofilie Tuscaii order. _“No\v, my
love,” saiil Eli:-rs, “this is the place wlitirc

wife, looking ozmios iy in his face, “and

brigli'.—-this little one li:«i:li conic sriiilirig
into my bflsivlll --and we have riirrcli in
this little world of on s to cling to and to
love." “Peach, rvorii-n,"’ said ‘Elias xte. ri-
ly, “think yo that I have shut riiy i-yt.-s on
that donicsic pic'rtre wizli which ye Seek
to ltire me ? Am I blind as the slow-
woim or she mole i’ N i, those lilcssiiigs

gariiicnt I wear, nor the fashion of the
dish whence I diitik, that I thus peril thee
and thy babe. It is liir freedom to Iliest:
limlis——it is forfrec-dorii to my soul—it is
for fioeiloin to worship God accortling to
conscience, that Iani thus litinlcci frntii
rock to rock, and frorii cl-.-ugh to cavern.”
So saying, Elias stood wi-'niii the porch o!
the place, and lent air car to every S')lln'l,
and an eye to every bird that flit'c.l from
bough to boiigh.

Now ithappcticd on that very morning,
Captain Greer, Wlfll sortie fifty mounted
troopers was on his way from Edinbugh
to Dumfzies, to avenge the di.-fcrit and
capture of General Turner, (called the
Tippling Apostle of Prclacy, inasmuch as
he was a hard drinl;er,) and had reached
the entranceoftlie upper gorge of the
deep dclile where Elias and his wife sought
refuge, wlion he was met by a messenger
in the disguise ofa shepherd, who said,
that a sore battle had been fought, in wli.
victory had blessed the arms of King
Charles; but that Elias Wil.-on, one or
the chief leaders, had escaped from the
field, and was believed to be concealed in
one of the wild glans in the neigliborhood
of his cottage. “What, titan!” exclaim-
ed Greer, “and is Elias Wilson-—ho who
can preach as well as light, and fight bet-
ter than the fighting luird of l3orishaw,lrirk-
iiigiii Etiterltoiiglcnl then, if we meet,
and I fail to feed the ravens with his Ca-
nieroniaii c-"ircase, may the fiend make my
ribs a gridirori for my soul !" The wife
of Elias, wearicd in body, and overcome
in mind with the niiserios of that sad mor-
ning, had fallen into a slumber; but even
in slumber there was no repose; she
dreanied that her house was beset with
enemies, and hat carbines wore levelled
to destroy her liusband : and shrielted out
“O Elias l” On looking tip, she saw him
peering waiily through the screen of lion-
Cy-suckle which covered the entrance 01

he cavern‘; and cocking his musket as lie
lookerl, he motioned ltcr back and present-
ed his piece, and fired; the ravine echoed
loudly to the report; and Corporal Barth-
wiclr dropped forward fom the window,
and his helmet was seen glittering for a
moment as he dropped dead into the fear-
ful cbasms b.-,~low. “We are beset all it-
round, my love,” said Elias, reloading his
musket; “I have slain one son of B;-lial,
in the act of presenting his engine of ’catli
at thee and me; but fear not. God iv;-3];
work out our cieliverance-so comoosc
thyself, and ltcop out oftlie way of hiirm.
They know not the I*'riar’s Cell ; it com-
maiids both the upper and lower approach-
e2——but peace, peace." lln presented
his musket as he spoke ; the sergeant
that conducted the party that were
to penetrate from the lower gorge, receiv-
ed the ball in his brain as he gained the
summit of the rock, and tell ovoi the cliff:
it fared no better with a second adventur-
or; andtlie rest,dauritod and believing
that the fugitives were in force, desistod,
and stood undecided.

“Now, my lads," exclaimed Captain
Greer, “the game has brgun—tlie bid

ihcro will be nought left for us to do, but
to march to the l"riat’s Cell, and report

BOI1R0'vVING.

There is no class of people more annoying
in community than those who are eternally iii
the lizibit of bor~rowin,,— and still there is hard-
ly any class that is more numerous.

“ My clcar,” said Mrs. Green to her hits-
band, one morning, “ the meal which we bor-
‘rowcil from Mr. Black, ti few days ago, is
almost out, and we must bake t:~-moiroiv.”

* VVell,’ said her husband, ‘ send and box-
rriw half ti bushel at Mr. Wliiti.-’:', he sent to
“ to mill yesterday.’

‘ And when it comes, shall we return the.
puck we borrowed more than a monthugo ol
the Widow Gray ?’ '

‘ No,‘ said the husband, gruflly, ‘ she can
send for it when she wants it. John, do you
go down to Mr. Brown's, and ask him to lent}
me his axe to chop some wood this tbrenoon ;
our’s is quite drill, rind I saw him grinding his
last night. And Jaincs, do you go to Mr.
Clark's, and ask him to lend me it hriinincr—
and do you lie.ir--you may us well borrow a
few nails. while you areabout it.’

A little b- y now enters and says : ‘ Father

sent me to ask if you had done with his hoe,
which you borrowed 0. week ago last Wed-
nosrlay; he wants to use it.’
» ‘ Wants his lioo, child ? What can he want
with it ? I have nct. half done with it yet-
but iflie wants it, I suppose he must have it.
Tell lll'lI to send it back, though, as soon as
he can spare it.‘

They set. down to breakfast. ‘ Ola 1" ex-
vltiiirts Mrs. G-teen, ‘ there is not ti pat‘li(:lt:

he has an excollont one-—for I Saw him buy
it last week at Mr. G:-atii’s store. Be sure
and gut the new one.”

A little girl cnters~—“ Mother sent me to

of t\’Iiliii=~ri's llistory of the Jews, which you

liirget who ! l’ll malt’) inqiiiry, and if I can
livid it, I will send it to her in the course of a
few weeks.”

In the altcriimn it rairis—“wife, where is
my great-coat ?” My dear. your great-coat
has got two great holes under the arin-pits;
besides, it is so slialiliy I am ashatiicd to see
yoii wear it. Can’t we borrow one soma-
whcre? llere Jztmos, go to Deacon Davis’.-.:
and ask him if he will lend your father his
new siirtout, as it rains, and his is not lit to
wear. He Will take good care of it. and re-
turn it, wlicuhe is done with it.” And so on,
to the ‘grid of the citaplzcr.

A frieirtl once ini"ormc.l us that about ten
o'clock one cold stormy evening in the month
of Ecbrtiary, when his family was about reti-
ring for the night to their respective apart-
ments. a loud rap was heard at the door, wli.
on being opcnetl, there entered a little ur-
chin, who said his mummy, who lived but a
few paces distant, had sent her rr-spects, and
wislicd to borrow (I. w."L‘-'ming'-pmi to warin
her bed, as the night was col.l, and they had
none iii the house. The warrniiig pan was
forthwith brought t'i'oni the kitchen and ban-
ded ovcr to the little fellow; but he was not
yet satislie:l—" '\’[.itlier says if you lend its
the W(1l‘tnll‘lg'-,')Z1n, perhaps you would lead us
some coals too, put into it, as our fire is almost
gone out."

The mend'icr.nt, who litimbly solicits alrns
at your gate, tells you that he is the child of
Povei-ty—-and his squalid fc-aturo. and tiltlty
rags confirm the tale. You cheerfully ren-

knocks you down. and then suznmons you to

TI-IERE is perhaps no subject of educa-
tion in which the people of this republic,
are more lamentably deficient, than in 'the.
History of their own country ; and it is with
it view to the improvement of the youth ofthis-_
country, not only in reading the Eiiglisli lan-
griage with propriety, but also to improve
them in ii most important branch ofeducation,
the history ofotir own country, that the au-
thor of the above work, has prepared this lit.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

Vv'e consider Dr. Webster as eminently
qualified to prepare 0. work of this kind. II-s
extensive acquaintance with the early histo-
ry of nations, and especially our own—lhe
result oflifty years ofinvestigation, is the best
pledge for the accuracy of his statements;
while the personal knowledge of the events of
our revolution and the establishment of our

his narrative, which are rare] ifcver to be
found in the pages ofa more compiler. We
therefore cordially recommend this work," as
adapted to general use in families and schools.
