THE NEW-ZEALAND MISSIONARY. BV MRS. SMCOCRNEY. "We cannot let him go. He says he is going Jto return to England the ship is here to take him away. Out no, we ill keep him and make hini our slave not our slave to fetch wood and draw water, but our talking slave. Yes, he shall be our shve, to talk and to teach us. Keen him we will." Sueech of the Per Mr. Yates, at the annirersaru of the Church Missionary Society, Irtndon, May, 1835. Twas night, and in his tent he lay, Upon a heathen shore, While wildly on his wakeful ear The ocean billows roar. 'Twas midnight, and the war-club rang Upon the threshhold stone, And heavy feet of savage men Came fiercely trampling on. LouJ were their tones in fierce debate, The chieftain and his clan: "He shall not go he shall not go, That Mi.sunary man. For him the swelling sail doth spread, The tall sdiip rides the wave, But we will chain him to our coast, Yes. he shall be our slave. "Not from the groves our wood to bear, Nor water from the vale, Nor in the battle front to stand Where proudest foemen quail; Nor the great war-canoe lo guide, Where crystal streams turn red! Hut lie shall be our slave to break The soul its living bread." Then slowly' peered the rising moon, Above the forest height. And h;ithed each cocoa's leafy crown In t les of living light; To every cabin's greasy thatch A gift of beauty gave, And with a cret of silver cheeied Pacific's sullen wave. But o'er that gentle scene a shout In sudden clamor came, '"Come forih. come forth, thou man of God And answer to our claim!" So down to those dark Inland men He bowed him as he spake, ' Behold! your servant I will be, For Clnist, my Master's sake." WASHINGTON'S REMAINS. BY GEORGE LUXT. Ah ! leave him alone, to sleep forever, Tiil the strong archangel call for the dead, By the veidantbank of that rushing river. Where first they pillowed his mighty head. L'innly may be the turf that covers The sacred grave of his last repose; But. oh! there's a glory that round it hovers, Broad as the daybreak, and bright as its close. Though marble pillars were reared above hi.ii, Temples and obelisks, rich and rare Better he dwells in the hearts that love him, Cold and lone as he slumbers there. Why should ye gather with coral numbers? Why should your throngingihousandscoine? W ho will dare to invade his numbers, Or bear him away from his narrow home? Well he sleeps in the majesty, Silent and stern, of awful death! And he who visits him thete should be Alone with Go 1, and his own hushed breath, Revel and pomp would profane his ashes And may never a sound be murmured there Save the glorious river that by him dashes, And the pilgrim's voice in his heartfelt prayer! Yes leave him alone! To sleep forever! Till the trump t h nt wakens the counllessdead By the verdant bank of that rushing river, Where first they pillowed his mighty head. Piom the Southern Literary Tessenger. THE AUTUMN LEAVES. BY A LADY OF RICHMOND. What makes the hue of the autumn leaves? Well, tame thy bird-like glee, And chain thy bounding footstep, child, And listen awhile to the legend wild, Which I w i!l tell to thee. The Indians say that lo ig, long since, Ere our sires had brought their band. Their forefathers carr.e o'er the western sea, And found a nation stern, wise, and free, And Ihey slew them and took their land. And oft as that season returns again, So simple their faith, believes When the moon comes, that lighteth the hunter's chase, Then the bright red blood of their murdered race Springs up in the autumn leaves. But a poet hath written a gentler creed, List, love, and you shall know; For his sketches are "pencillings" bright and bold Like the fairy tales of the times of old, Which I read so long ago. He says that the rainbows of myriad hues Are laced in the tree tops high, That the sunsets have come in the summer's track, And poured their full splendor of radiance back, In a robe of gorgeous dye. That theburninggems,whichliehidbeneath " In their dark and earth bound shrine; Have melted and mounted from root to crest, Till the forest in princely style is drest With the riches of the mine. But the sweetest reason of. all. I think, Is this which a lesson breathes That the charm which lendeth the woods their flush. Is he frost-kiss, spreading a crimson bltesh O'er the modest Autumn Leaves.

1 No one of correct taste can read the follow-

ing Imes from the Village Record, without ; feeling that a charming picture of rustic happiness and humble life, is sketched in a manner! which Goldsmith or Burns would have bejn forward to praise, and proud to imitate:. I once knew a ploughman, Bob Fletcher his name, j Who was old and was nglv. and so was hisi dame; I Yet they lived quite contented, and free from all strife, Bob Fietchei the ploughman, and Judy, his wife. As the mom streak'd the East, and the night fled away, They would rise up to labor, refreshed for the day; The song of the Lark, as it rose on the gale, Found Bob at the plough, and his wife at the pail. A neat little cottage in front of a grove, Where in youth they first gave their young hearts up to love, Was the solace of age,and lo them doubly dear, As it called up the past with a smile or a tear. Each tree had its thought, and the vow could impart, That mingled, in youth, the warm w ish of the heart; The thorn was st ill there, and the blossoms it bore, And the song from its top seem'd the same as before. When the curtain of night over nature was spread, And Bob had retum'd from his plough to his shed, Like the dove on her nest, he reposed from all care, If his w ife and his youngsters, contented, were there. I have passed by his door when the evening was gray, And the hill and the landscape were fading away, And have heard from the cottage with grateful surprise, The voice of thanksgiving, like incense, arise. And I thought on the proud, who would look down with scorn, On the neat little cottage, the thorn, grove, and the And felt that the riches and folliesof life Were dross, -o contentment like Bob and his wife. Political Charlatanry. E. Potter, President Judge in the North-western District of Ohio, has just been elected to Congress. He has not, it appears, resigned his seat on the bench; and his Locofoco brethren say that he pledged himself to them, in case there was a Whig majority in the Legislature, to resign his seat in Congress and hold on to the Judgeship rather than suffer a Whig to be elected Judge. They now call upon him to redeem his pledge! We do not know which office he will determine to retain, nor do we care much. Our object is to place this political profligacy before the people, that all may see the tendency of the ultra course of "the party." The annexed extract is from the Locofoco paper at Defiance, in Potter's district. For cool disregard of moral honesty and propriety, it has seldom been equalled: Cin. Gar. "The Judgeship. What is Judge Potter going to do? Will he throw the Judgeship into the hands of the Whigs, or will he redeem his pledges resign his seat in Congress, and re main upon the tiench? We think he will re deem his pledges, and would suggest lo our fiiends to I e casting about for a candidate to supply his place in Congress. 'We have heard within the last few days that some of our friends entertain fears in rela tion to this matter. Why should we have any doubts on the subject? Is not Judge Potter solemnly pledged to resign his seat in Congress in the event of a Whig majority in the Legis lature? Have we elected a man to Congress. upon whose pledges we cannot rely? We cannot, we w ill not believe that Judge Potter will violate tin pledges upon which he received his nomination. He will not prove himself unworthy the station to which he has been cho sen by the Democracy of the District, by dis regarding Ins promises." t. i -' r iV-'js COTIOA YARNS FOR SALE.
