THE LIVING LOVER TO THE DEAD.
BY MISS .ii~:w:inum'.

Of all that was past woiiiaii’s excellence,
In her white l)o.<otrt, look, 8. painted board

And thou upon thy bier of death
Art shrowdctl for the tomb ’.l
l\'oi- living‘ pulse, nor liuiiian breath,
Save iuiiie, disturbs the gloom.
And glstistly falls the t:ipei"s light
On thee, and on thy bier;
Yet I until the iiioriiiiig light
Shall watcli and feel no fear.
\.
I clasp thy icc-cold hand in mine,
Till mine is srzarcc less cold,
And trace these fr.-attti'i‘s line bv liric,
Till they seem of'brcathiiig riiould ;
Yct f()1ltlt.'l'. liolier, is my gaze,
Then when in periods past,
I saw that bct1ttt_v’s living blaze,
For now Igiizc my last.
Those lips are iiiiisicril no more,
But their still sweet smile is there,
The fltisliing ofthine eye is o'er,
But the calin-closr:d lid, how fair!

EMBARKATION OF THE PILGRIMS.
It. was on the moriiiiig of’ the 22d of June, 1620,
that Ml‘. Robinson, kneeling in przi_vcr on the sea
the Pilgrims.
1
At length the day had dtiwiied—-it lovely day;
That surnuicr merit, the face of iiatu rc smiled,
As for njiibilce. The air was liuslicd
And still as lis'tr:'iiizig to catch u'SU’tt!lt.l.' -
The iiioriiing sun beheld his inirrored face,
Upon the crest of every heaving wave.
As Uccaii caught the spirit cfthc hour,
And iniaged backed the smile of the blue hcavcii,
There g:itlici'crl on the beach a chosen lew-
A l)itIt(l of sell"-devoted bi'others—inen '
St,-ll exiled from their homes and native land. f
And now they stand ripoii the watcr’s edge, 1
The vessel waits to hear them far, far hence.
I
\Vhy break they thus,
The tboiisriiid tics of fiieiidship and of home '.l/
\Vhy leave the graves of buried love, for ever
From that wide world, beyond the sourirliiig rs ,,
The voice of Frccdoiii calls: their souls respoltd,
Arid they must go : yet not without at pang.
And oli.' the untold agony that speiiks
From eye to eye, and thrills ‘front heart to heart;
For some must go, and some remain behind.
Toge.-thcr they had |ivcd—togethci' sung;
Together siil‘t'ci'ed, and together prayed;
And hard it was to part, perhaps forever,
Tliey knelt itpoii the barren sands to pray; t
And there was childlioor.l's spotless iiinocence,
And maiihood’s steriicr brow; trcmulous age ’
And bcauty’s rosy bloom. And in the midst
The i'cvei'end pastor kriclt-—-and raised his eye
And hands, arid heart, to Heaven.
‘vVhat better place, what better time to prey‘?
The earth, the zilizir whence their incense rose
No temple, but the liroad blue sky above;
VVhcncc, like the all-pcrvridirig eye of God,
The sun looked light and love upon the spot.
Low was his voice, and tiiirit his words at first
But stronger grew the prissioiis ofliis sottl, '
And thus the language of his heart o’ei'flowcd.-
“Eternal Spirit of the Universe,
Thou God, art here. VVe see Thee everywhce;
Each sight and sound articulates thy name.
'Tis writ on every page of'Natiire’s book;
And all that is, is eloquent with praise.
We feel Thee in our hearts. There is a voice,
A still small voice, proclaims Thee ruler there-
Our homes our frieiirls, our cottntry—all, oh (lid!
We do relinquish and give up for Thee. '
VVe leave Old l£tigland’s shores, hcr city walls;
Her lordly palaces, and classic halls ; i
Content and happy, if Thou wilt but bless
Our lonely cottage in the wilderness. lg
VVe ask Thee not for worldly pomp or p0WCl’,.l
Or i,-.ii'curnst:1ucc ofgreatiiess; but we crave A
A place to worship Thee; :1 christian’s death, ,
A quiet grave, and a home in heaven at last. l
Oh, iii oiirjourncy to that promised land,
Be thou our guide, our cloud ofsmo kc by day,’ _
Our shield, and pillar of defence, by night. i
Thou kiiowest,ohLord! our fate. We would nokead
The future, and anticipate our doom. :
\'Vc part. It is enniigh that Thou dost lmow,l..
If e’er we meet again this side the grave.
And if ’tis written in thy secret book,
That we shall perish; that the ocean wave
Shall be our sepulchcr: we are resigned. .
VVe are within the hollow of Thy hand; I
Do with us as Thou wilt. Thy will be done.’l
l.
And so he ceased. -The deep amen, which frdm
An hundred hearts broke forth, was blended vfth
The everlasting strain of Ocean-‘s old
And mighty music. Then they gathered rounl,
The parting blessing was received and given;
The last embrace oflove was interchanged—- ,-
Aiid as the boats were gliding from the shore,
Full many a tear fell on the briny wave. '
New Fairfield, Ct. 1844.
Temperance in Boston.-—A disturbance
occurred a few nights since in the Nzitionnl
'l'hetitt‘c, at Boston, and in an exrimirtiition
relative thereto, one of the officers testified
that there were six bars kept open in the es-
tablishirient,and that on the night in ques-
tion there were in the theatre twenty five
persons who were so drunk that they ought
to have been taken to jail. In consequence
of the indignation expressed in Boston at this
expose, the proprietor was compelled to an-
nounce to the public that liquor would be
excluded. The Theatre so far as drinks are
and keeping. is it not worth insuring?

CASSIUS M. CLAY ON SLAVERY.
'I‘lie Lexington (K_v.) Observer ‘ of the

Ric/card Ill J0]£7t5‘07l,Ett'l(l others at a inaction‘
held at the White Sulphur Springs, Scoii,

Ufllon l“-'-Wlrtg ltcvn proposed anti advocated
bi’ the Chairman and others, Mr. C. M.
Clay off.-rr.-rl a substiiiitc cf opposite tcnor,
which he advocated in a glorious speech.-—
We do not care to publish so much of it as
rvlates to the inain question, for the Annex-
ation of-'l‘ex:is, with sl..very cxisting therein,
to this Union is as impossible as the falling
of the sl.'y., 'l‘liei'c was a time whtn this
was possillt-, but now there aippcars to be no
considerable party or section in favor of it,
and we have no room to waste in opposition
to a frustrated, by-gone niischief.
But ilir-re is a p‘ortir.n of Mr. Clay’s re-
rnail.s, taken in consideration with his posi-
tion iind the general aspects of the Slavery
question, \\l]l(,'l] dt‘S(‘l'\'(‘S attention. Among
the leading axioms of those (including the
‘Liberty’ czinrlidaiie for President) who advo-
cate the abolition ofslrivery at so much per
iiioiitli, arctlivse, l. That every slave holder
is to lie regarded as an enemy of Human
Rights. Hrttl proscribed, so far as possible,
from all public strition; ‘,2. That nobody who
belongs to either of the great political par-
ties can be favorable to Emancipation, but
every Wliig is, of nt-cr-ssity, ‘Pro-Slavery,’
and an cneiny to Llbr rty for all; 3. That
no man can be he-a rd in opposition to slavery
in the Slave Sl«il€S., either orally or through
the journals. Now, in refutation of these
?lSSUtItpllODS, we cite the case of Cassius M.
Clay, at this mClli'.‘lll. an ardent whig and

“Still sir I not no abolitionist. Such an
abolitionist as I have been from my boyhood
-—such an abolitionist as I was in 1835,
wlim I (lt'Cl{tl'f‘il in my place in the House
of Represent-.itives, to which Iwas just than
eligible, that if the Constitution did not give
us power to protect ourselves against the in-
fernal slave-trade. that I renounced it, and
would appeal to :1 Convention for a new
one. Such an abolitionist as I was in 1840,
when l dcclat‘cd in the House of Represen-
tativcs, that I wished to place the State of
Kcritriclty in such a position by sustaining
the law of 1333, that she could move anjv
time she thought it conducive to her higlicsi
interest, to fire he-rsclf from slavery.‘ Such
an abolitionist as I have ever avowed myself
in public speeches and writings to the people
cfthis district, that if Kentucky was wise
rnoiigli to free lierst-lf front the counsels of.
pro-slnvcr_v. mr'n,.that slavery would perish

the ll'l'E"SlSl.Pll)iC force ofcircumstances which
would convince the people to the use of free
instead of slave labor, its every way most
I‘i(.lVitnlilgt'OUS. Such an abolitionist, as were
the band of itniiiortal men who formed the
federal Constitiiiion, who would not have
the word ‘slave’ in that sacred instrument,

ington,who, so far from lending countenance
to the propagation of slavery, as you are
now doing, dc-clarcd that on all proper occa-
sions his influence and his vote should be
cast for the t‘.\lll’lgUl:llmCIil of slavery among
men, am I also. Such an abolitionist as
was Jefferson, the ’fzither ‘of Democracy,
whom you all profess to follow, who fol-etojd
what has since partially come to pass, that
slavery, if not destroyed, would jeopardize
and finally extinguish the liberties of the
ivhitr-s tbemsr-Ives; who foresaw, with an
unerring glance, that the slavery of the
black race, if not remcdird by the whites,
would at last remedy itself; such an aboli-
tionistam Ialso. And being such, I take
issue with the opinion which has been here
to day, as it has often been elsewhere, most
dogmatically advanced, that the question is
“whether the whites shall rule thelblacks,
or the blacks shall rule the whites.” Such
an issue is false in theory, false in practice,
and as proven to be false byall experience.
It is derogatory to human nature and blas-
phemy against God himself.
