Now charming May, with smiles returning, CI id in her richest robes of green, Inrites roe forth, this dewy morning, To enjoy the pleasing scene. Wakes me from my drowsy slumber While the woodland songsters sing, Bids the Muse in flawing number?, Join the chorus welcome Spiusc-. Nature robed in matchless beauty, Claims the Muse's richest laysj 'Tis, O! 'tis a pleasing duty, To add a tribute to her praise. Vf rnal fliwrs their colours blending, Mak the wods will, beauty glow; While the gentle show rs descending, Bid the vegetation grow. Now the bills with life abounding Now the Lark and friendly Thrush, With the numerous choir are sounding Symphonies from every busb. Hark! the Doves are gently cooing, In the vale, and verdant grove; And the youths are maidens wooing, WhispVing their soft tales of love. 0! how sweet it is to wander, O'er the ro9y-scented lawn! While on Nature's works I ponder, A the morning's early dawn. Ye slothful soub, to animation Arouse ye youths and virgins fair, For a morning's recreation, Sally forth and take the air. With me o'er the meadows ramble, Taste the fragrance of the dews, View the jocund lambkins gambol, Pluck the rose with blushing hues. Inhale the bdmy brrath of heaven! Ti9 a swer-t balsam to the weak; It will your drooping souls enliven, nd add a bloom to beauty's cheek. Now white each mountain, vale and desert, . Conspire in one delightful lav, Youths and maidens join the concert Ever welcome, charming May Edwin

"profit blexded with amusement."' CALEB AND MA TILDA. AN AMERICAN TALE About twenty miles from the beautiful village of Mid-Gotham, there dwelt, in the time of the American war, Henry M and Horatio H , two powerful rivals. Henrywas fighting for the independence of Amer

ica, Horatio to maintain the monarchy ofj

Gn;at Britain. Henry had a son named Caleb, who commanded a company of about one hundred men, and, with his parent, was engaged in the great cause of the revolution. John, under the direction of his father Horatio, was striving to quell the rising spirit of liberty that was breaking forth in America. Many were the murders and deeds of horror, that were committed in those days; the peaceful inhabitant who would lie down

had always been to Caleb, aird thev had on

ly waited for the report of "successful or unsuccessful war to be heard no more," for the consummation of their wishes. Lovers are atyvajs hasty. By the protracted length of the war, aided by the entreaty of friends, the wedding was at length appointed. Tins was what John had long wished for, that he might the more honourably accomplish his resolution under the

garb of war. There was the lurking spirit of a villian within his breast, for he had de

termined that Caleb and Matilda should ne

ver be married, and only waited for an opportunity to put his wicked determination

into execution. That opportunity soon presented itself.

The morning previous ro the one appointed for the marriage, Calab and his men were called awa- on an expedition against their enemies that occupied the day. At the foot of the hill Caleb di smissed his company, with the order to collect at the sound of his horn, and then walked slowly towards

its summit. He paused to survey the land

scape that was yet tinged with the rays ofj

the setting sun, and pleasant ideas were mingled with the prospect, that when the earth should again he enlivened with the bright majesty of day, he should be united to all that would render life sweet. With such thoughts was his mind occupied when he arrived at the summit of the hill; but, gracious God! what an appalling spectacle met his view! Instead of the lovelycottage, he could discover nought hut a heap of ruins, and the smoke that yet ascended from it, and was borne along the southern breeze, rose higher and higher, till it mingled with the mists of the evening I At the nearest neighbour's, he found the

lifeless corse of Matilda; and from the mother he learned that John and his party had been there, abused the old lady, murdered the daughter, and burnt the cottage; that the inhabitants had collected together, and done all that humanity could safest. He grasped his sword, and over the murdered body he vowed., that he would perish in the attempt, or her murderer should die; and then rushed from the house. The mother ran to restrain him; but he was far away, bending his course up the hill with the velocity of the deer. He stopped not to view the beauties of the rising sun, that the evening before he had anticipated with pleasure. The desire of revenge was visible upon his countenance, as he raised

his horn and blew the blast "shrill and lono-.' it echoed and re-echoed till the sound was lost behind the distant hills. His troopa were soon around him: he raised himself upon his horse, told them of his loss, of the murder that had been committed, and asked them if they would follow him to "victory or death." The answer was unanimous, "We will conquer or we will die." The parties were soon in sight of each other, and rushed together; the captains met. There seemed to be a pause amonsji the soldiers, while the captains fought. Jus

tice appeared to nerve the arm of Caleb, for

soon his foe lay senseless upon the field; his sword told that the murderer was slain, for it was crimsoned with his blood. He turned from the field, leaving his soldiers to pursue his victory, and returned to the house. When the funeral precession was formed, he followed as a mourner to the grave; the bloody sword was buried by the side of the coflin, and when the people returned to their

homes, he lingered behind. He would wan

with contagion and death.

Its inmates were an old lady and herdaugh

ter. The husband and parent was slain during the French war, at the bloody battle with the French and Indians near fort Dm Quesne, where the cool intrepidity of Washington first showed'itself. The old lady had passed the meridian of life; but the daughter, like the first rose of May, was just Expanding. Maijdn, though not remarkably handsome, was a girl of sweet disposition and engaging manners; a spell hung round her which never failed to excite the admiration and secure the esteem of all who saw her, and something of its magic influence was connected with every thing she said or did. The landscape from the cottage was sublime and beautiful; the towering hills that rose on the east and west, no eye could behold without admiration; to the north and south extended a pleasant vale; a purling brook rose by the door, and bent its serpentine course through the meadows, till it shot away and terminated in a beautiful lake that lay before the eye a pure unbroken mirror. Caleb aud John had been schoolbovs to-
