Valuable l.u.ad tor fcuie,

THE DEPARTING YEAR. In Western climes, when day retires to restWhere sets the sun on fair Columbia's breast,

A wanderer marks, through Recollection's tear, The fading features of the parting year. The circling leaders of the restless hours The queen of leafless woods and summer flowers The Sign-directed guide of months and days,

Has wrapt her viewless form in midnight haze, And passed away, like evening's farewell beam, Or fieeting fancies of a morning dream. Her eye, that viewed this world and all its climes The various change of seasons and of times She saw the Cannadian plains su rcharged with blood, When gallant heroes shed the crimson Hood: She saw the Monarch bending to his fate His country fall her banner placed in state, Now peace companion of her elder reign,

Spreads wide her door-wing3 o'er the Western main :

Two worlds combining, -with their sea-girt lands, In mutual intercourse and social bands, And waving; from iho orient to the west, The Olivo Branch that shades the Halycon's nest. The tear retires: as Nature's powers reposa Beneath the coverlet of virgin snows, The vegetable world in silence sleeps, AnJ o'er her wintry fields Creation weeps; While I, in pensive sadness, linger here, To mark the footsteps of the parting year. My generous patrons my indulgent, friends Whose kindness hailed mo first, and still attends The dread ordeal passed, dare I obtrude? Speak, gentlemen : for once the carrier sues, Ladies, behold a suppliant on the scene, Impressed with all a grateful heart can mean ; Ytt,such the cheks that anxious hope entails, Hia tongue must falter, and his courage fails. From the Ohio Slatesnan. THE TABLE SEIGE. OB, APAPOrCJ ON HOHXNLtUDEJ. At evening when the sun was low, The table cloth mado such a show, That heartless wo the onward flow, Of boarders rushing rapidly. The boarders saw no other sight, But pushing on with all their might They fell to work 'bout candle light, The lueal dctouring hastily. By bell and summons fast arrayed, Each boarder drew his case-knife blade, And fiercer every charge they made, To join the dreadful revelry. Then shock the jaws by muscles riven, Then rushed the teeth uf eating driven And quicker than the bolts of heaven The feast was closing rapidly. 'Tis morn! another meal's begun Now James, now John, and every one, With furious Frank, and fiery Hun, Join the strife acting selfishly. The combat ends! On ye brave, Who rush to get whato'er you crave, Who to the stomach are a slave, And charge with fieice avidity. Their teeth soon part-whene'r they meet They quick consume what they could eat, And from the room they all retreat, Their footsteps founding cheerfully. 1IORATIUS.

A Prophet. John Quincy Adams, closed his late

speech in congress, with the following emphatic & prophetic truths:

"1 his measure, tthe sub-treasury scheme,) too absurd for serious reasoning, too alarming for scornful derision, so absurd that it was impossible to

believe it proposed with sincerity, so terrible to the futurity of this nation, if really sincere, after floating triumphantly, in its passage from the department, through the senate into tho house, has this day, by a timid and almost despairing resistance, been deferred till the winter session, ICT'for the scary to go home and feel the pulse of the demo-

cracvof numbers. With the winter session,' it will

come back. That it will ever receive the sanc

tion of this house, may a merciful ! In the interval, at least, I will cherish the hope of better things, and

catch every gleam of brighter prospects to illumm ate the auspices of the coming year."

from the following intelligence it vouldappear that the city of Toronto is in possession of the Reformers. Blood has been shed, and the revolution may

now be considered fairly under way. The family of the Governor had cone on board the steamer

the insurgents. 1 hey demanded ot the Oovetnorthe dissolution of Parliament, the grant of an elective

Legislative Council, and the departure ot the Governor from the province within two weeks. An adjourned meeting of the citizens of Buffalo was held on the 5th instant, at the CotToe-hou.se, for the purpose of expressing their sympathies with the Canadians in their strucelc for Independence. It

was got up with great apparent effect and when the doors were opened, the band of music in attendance struck up the Marseilles hymn. In the hall, and about the doors, at least 1,500 individuals were

assembled. Tho meeting was organized by the ap

pointment of the following officers: Lewis F. Allen, Esq., President; Colonel Alanson Palmer and II. J. Stow, Esq., Vice Presidents; David M. Day, Esq., and John S. Brown, Esq., Secretaries. A letter was received from Mr. McKenzie, the distinguished Reformer of Toronto, excusing his attendance, and thanking the meeting for their expression of sympathy. As a guide to deliberations and action, upon the Canadian question, he referred them to the speeches of Henry Clay and Mr. Otis on the independence of Greece. Several exciting speeches were made, and resolutions of acorresponding tenor, were adopted. From Lower Canada, we learn that martial law had been proclaimed over the district of Montreal the pr&oUmatioLorirg date, Quebec, December 5.

C, announcing that the city of Toronto is in possession of the Patriots of the Upper Province. Queenstown, Dec. 0', fG37. Dear Sir I write to you in great haste, to inform you of what, at least to us, is interesting and important. Capt. Whitney has just arrived from Toronto, w hich place, he states, was attacked by the Radicals, and taken. The Governor and all the officials are pent up in the market-house. Many buildings were burnt, some lives lost, and many taken prisoners. The Captain was sent here by the Governor to drum up volunteers, but he has succeeded in getting very few. The Loyalists will not centrally turn

out, and but little fighting will take place, at least

mis tail, in Upper Canada.

1 he Patriots require from the Governor that he shall dismiss tho Parliament, allow tho people to

elect the Legislative Council, and that he should

leave the country within two weeks. Yours, &c. The Daily Buffalo Journal of the 7th inttant con firms the above. From the Telegraph and Advocate extra.

Toronto, which place he left four hours before.

The boat, w ith a deputation, was despatched by the

with such forthwith.

The Reformers of the Home District, it is said,

EatSlow.-TIic famous Abemethy gave the fol

lowing advice to an American invalid "I never saw a Yankee that didn't bolt his food w hile, like a boa constrictor. How can you expect to digest food that you do not take the trouble to masticate? It's no wonder you loose your teeth, for you never udc them; nor your digestion, for

you overload it; nor your saliva, for you expend u on the carpets, instead of your food. Your Yankees load their stomachs as a Devonshire man doc his cart, as full as it can hold, and as ho can pitch it in with a dung fork, and drive off; you then complain that such a load of compost is too heavy for you. Til tell you w hat, take half the time to eat you do to draw l, chew youi food half as much a.-

you do your hlihy tobacco, and you ll be well in a month."
