MISCELLANY

AN EVENING WALK. Twas evening and a glorious one, ' .cuch s it cheers the heart to see, Ti e clouds troop'd round tho setting son, In all their golden panoply; And his 1. st rays came, like the glanco Of parting loves softly bright, 0"cr the broad lake, whose smooth expnne Have bar' pnrh tint of roy Pgbf. iwa! such a scene, as te young ey ! wont t-i ki..tllq at, ee truth Jla- ctinnM to cold reality H e vi':o:iiiiy 'le-rns ofyou'h. And y-et I tnrnM I know not why Ft cm the tirh skies and glowing floods jo the grey church, that monlder'd nigb, Rrrid-l its venerable woods. I pTm'd its portals and I trod Beneath the dome, which oft had rung With anthems to the living God In folemo thought. Ti.e low sun flung His Lst red light along each aisle; And seem'd to linger in the wet, As though to shed his parting smile Upon thai hallowed place of rest. The tombs were round me. There they slept. The geneiations that had psst: And 1I19 pale marble sternly kept Their long confined relics fast. 1 am no hermit. If I know Jly own heart well, 'tis turn'd to mirth, And kindles at the general flow Of innocent wit. E'en from my birth, I lnv'd to look on smilers. Yet Ife'.tintha still quiet of that hour, , Feeling, I wib not to forget; for eh! there is a soothing poww In such deep tbousht, dear to my soul And touching, as the pliintye strain Of the sweet melody, that stole Iron riuto's heart, and won again The lost Euridicc I said The tombs were round me; and I thought I stood alone among the dead. A feeling of deep reverence, fraught With visions of that noi-eless crowd, Came over me. Ilsre sons had wept O'er the grey hairs that ago had bow'dj And laid them down in turn and slept On the S3rr.e pillow. Here the rude stones Of namehss graves, were found beside The roaible cearments, where the banes Of great ones mould rl ia their pride. And where were they ? 1 burn'd to bear An ausvver, and I pnder'd ti.'l I almost wish'd o pierce the ear Of death, ar.d s?k it, of the still And dreamles s'eppers. Ay their doom? They say. there a volceics ars-versent, From the deep s 'euce cf tie tomb That b?ir rnuie iips are eloquent, Aid proroi?e immortality. 'Tis a bright hope; avd I will trust, Ti at lie, who forrnM and fasbioii'd me, Can raiss this body from the dust. jtto re Sum I w?s a'one, (At icst I thought so.) and to me, Tt6 very echoes hd atone, Th it wbis;rM of mortality. Oh! bow I st utt-d, w! e:i a sig, From a sma'.l group of tombs aroset 1 was ti e fui! sob of misery. Lurg, and dv?ep laden with its woes. I saw a poor, deserted, lone, And fner.dk ss widow: and she hu-, Tearless, o'er ar.ewgrave. Ni s.ooe, As yet, bore witness, tint its young, And l itely blooming tender lay, T e ia,t last wreck of all her heart II ,d 'rested in. Yet nrght one say, Fiv.ni ii-. r tad eye, that knew no start O. U ndiy leirs, snd hr pale cheek, Where Time and 'Jnef had past alo.ig, X.ike twin destroyers, that her weak And wasted form, bow'd ia the strong - Ftmrg wrestlings of a mother's grief, T':e mourning heart loves solitude; A.;d tl e kjnd hand, that means relief. Oft to the striken one seems rude, I had felt this. Yes, I liad known, How in i:s grief and teademess. Tt.p f " 1 heart burns to be alonei I left It r; but her mu;c distress, II r t m iess eye, and wasted cheek, Witp it..t fir-rotten.

It wan adjourned to r.ie t as;airi at 15tira.ire, on the, first Monday in JVbTenher, Delegates from Nevr-York, Pennsylvania, Dela- j Hare, lUrjlanJ, District ot Colua-

bia, Virginia, nnd .Ohio, aUentleil, nnrj a number of valuable comrauuicatioiis were received from these and other Slates. .1 meraorial was ordered to he presented to Con gre3, on the subject of the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. A Committee was appointed to enquire and report to the Convcution what experiments have been made and are now making on the Imerican continent and islands, relative to the production of sugar cotton and tobacco, by free labor. A committee was also directed to corresponrl with the London 2frican institution, io order toobtain further information relative to the state of the African slave trade the system of slavery in the British American colonies. JViil. Standard Gov. Clinton.- An address signed by seventeen citizeus of Jefferson Coouty, N. Y. appears in the N. Y. Statesman recommeudiui; to the electors De IVil Cltuion, as ''pre-emiaently entitled to the first office in the gift of the American people;' and with a view to his nomination, a meeting was held at Walercovvn on tire the 27th instaut. Against this movement to

bring out a third candidate, the ed itora of the N. Y. Enquirer and Evening Post warmly protested, while the N. Y. Statesman seems disposed to view it with a favora ble eye. From Gov. Clinton noth ing has yet transpired, with respect to the course he will pursue in the matter. Boston Patriot. ! Coroner's inquest was held o ver the body of Samuel Dave?, who formerly lived in the neighborhood of irCorraick'a mill, in this county on Saturday last, about 7 miles east of this place on the urookville road. His body was found on Friday by some travellers, by the road side. He is supposed to have died on Monday evening during the snow, a he was seen on that day, in a state of intoxication. He was returning from Ohio, where he has left a wife. I he above is another awful warning to the intemperate, to beware of the in Invix.liniv linurl 1 a it nnt Gtaiica in. I deed, that white this hideous raoaster is destroying us inousanas, or blasting forever their prospect in life, men will he so infatuated as to clinc to this damning vice with such eagerness that nothing short of the judgments of offended Heaven cau stop Uiqui in thsir mad career. Indianapolis Guz . 'LONG YARN.' Mrs, . upwards of sixty years old & two young wch-mi in the same family, not two furlong? from our onictt, on the lOih iat. n'UN 2S skein of woolen yarn, ench skeiu containing 15 knots. Of this respectable day's work. Mrs. did 8 skeius, and the young women 10 skeins apiece. Ia performing her task, (as a man of nrithiretsc r.s-ure ns.) the aged matron had to walk 43,200 teps, which on calculation are found to make about twelve and a half miles. Here, theu, we have no small degree of industry in the fingers especially when it is considered that in spinning a slop is to be made at every third step, and that half the steps are to he taken backwards. Where, we ask, is the young man, who would undertake to travel twelve miles and a half in a day, one half the dhtauce backwards, and stop on the way 11.400 time? The young women, of course had to travel a greater distance; but they are doubtless some forty years younger than Mrs. and find it a mere pastirm;, "To trip it as they go, Oathe light fantastic toe." But we cannot do less than recommend them to the particular attention of those who are iu pursuit of wives, as batter calculated to mike a man happy, than if they had spun a thousand miles of street yarn. Bekk. Amer. GALE AT NBW-YORK There was a tremendous gale

at New-Ycrlc tturiog (he whole of Wednesday & Ihe succeeding uight; which has proved very ditructive to the vessels in that port. It is supposed that not less tan thirty were gunk, and a'great many more received material injury. Some of the steam boats were unable to reach the city, and others were compelled to delay their departure from it. Capt. Atwood, of the William and Llenry, was diowned. His versel was ashore on Governors Islaud. During the whole of the day signals of distress were flying; and in the afternoon, for a bet of ten dollars, a waterman nnmed Drady was induced to put off from White hall for the brig, which he reached in safety. Captain 5tTood availed himself of the opportunity to return in the boat, to get assistance from the city, but the boat, soon after leaving the vessel, died, anil he was drowned. The boat, with the waterman, drifted ashore at iong Island, where the man received every attention, and wa saved. The gable end of en unfinished house wni blown down, nd two men were killed. JVat.

We are indebted to the Democratic Press for the following account of an Administration meeting recently helJ at the City of New Orleans. ADMIKIS TRJ TIOjV ME E TIJS'G. At a numerous meeling of fie tit zens of New-Orleans, held at the Eschange CcffeeJiouse room, (the larst in the city, which was quite ful;)on Saturday the 13th of October, the followirg resolutions were passed; all of which appear to us so much to the purpose, that we give them ( mire. Resolved, That the conduct of the majority of the represeutatives of ti e state of Louisiana in consms, at the time of the election of John Q iiucy Adams to the presidency, receive our euiira approbation. Resolved, That, though not unmindful of the services rendered to ibis city byGen. Jackson during the late war, wearf iernorant of any thing io his VAe or public actions, which would autiioiize us to believe him possessed of suuicient capacity or wisdom to hold the btlm of state. That, therefore when cahed upon to decide between bim nndjolm Quiiicy Adams, the man whom Washington, Jtif-r son, Madison aud Monroe hnve tucces.-ive-lv honoured with their ci fidence, it would be carryi ;g our gratitudd beyond all hounds, at.d forgeitins what we ewe to ourselves, were we to declare ia favour of him, who, after thirteen years of reflrcliun, without anj , pven semblance cf prot, s iil persists in '.hat incoa-idiate accusation h fir-t dared to ua;ke against th:- majoi.ty oftne members of our Ifittur of 1814 15, and against bsveial cf our most respectable ci'izecs, at the tmi-3 o" the invasion of a part of our territory by the British an" i ns o i dumg which our hg'slature d splayed a zer.l, a patriotism, ai.d a devo'eduess to the sabred principles of our co'ist tutioo, never yet, and nt ver to be, surpassed, IZesohfd, That we would dfem it an ct f ki.juiticjj a'td which mig t hszarO t ie ssiMy of" the republic were we to givt our suffrages to d sp ace Jo- n Q :incy Adams from th eminent situation ibich he has occupied sime the 4 h of March, 1325, in a manner so a isfactory to the trop friends of national p'0perity, and ef that peace whicu out country enjoys bi'th within and without. And were we, in bts st ad to place a man who has no otber claim to the offi'-e of first magistrate of the union, than bis reputation as a successful military chieftain. Resolved, That we approve of all the acts of the present administration of the general government. That the conduct of tbe present president, and that of the Secretary of state, in their several eminent functions, merit our respect. R' s lved, That all the accusations bro'i against Henry Ciay, the present secretary of state, are, ii our opinion, unfounJed and calumuiou-, and that we consider him as a statesman and individual, honest, enlightened, and patriotic. Resolved, therefore, That justice, the public tranquility, the maintenance of our invaluable institutions, aud of our agricultural, commercial and manufacturing prosperity, imperiously require that all good ciiizens, and ail such as ore truly worthy the title of republicans should unite their efforts to secure the re-election of presi dent of the United States, of the philoso pher, the statesman, the irreproachable citizen, John Q,'iincy Adams.
