The boat swings from the bebbl'd shore, And proudly drives ber bow; Tbe crested seas roll up be fore: Ton dark greylaod I'll set; no more, riotv sweet thou seemst now! Thou dark grey land, my nntive land, Thou lar?l of rock and pine, I'm speeding from (by golden sind; Uut can 1 wave, a farewell band lo such a shore as (bine? Vvu g3zed upon the golden cload Which shades thin, emerald sod; Thy bills, which Freedom's share bath plow'd bicli nurse A race that have not bow'd Their knee lo aught but God; Tby mountain flood which proudly fling i heir waters to the fdll Thy birds, which cut with rushing wing Tbe sky (bat greets tby coming spring, And thought tby glories small. Bur now y're shrunk lo yon blue line Cireen the sky and sea, fuel, sweet home, that tbou art mine, I feel my bosouo cling to thine That 1 am part of thee. I see thee blended with the wave, As children see the earth Close up a sainted mother's grarej They weep for her they cannot save, And feel ber holy worth. Tbou mountain land thou land of rock, J'ro proud to call you free; Thy eons are of the 1'ilgrirn stock, And nerv'd lk those who siood the shock, At old Thermopy'fie. Tbe laurel wreaths tneir fathers won, The children wear them still, Proud deeds those iron men have dona, They fought and woo at Bennington, And bled at Bunker 11:11. There's grandeur in tbe lightning stroke, Tiirff rivs the mountain ash; There's glory in the giant oak, And rainbow bau'y in (be stroke Where chrystal vttrs dash; There's music in thy winter b ast, Tuat sweeps the hollow glen; Lss sturdy sons would shrink aghast Frou piercing winds liko those thou hast To nurse thine iron men. And thou hast gros; aye living pearls, And fl.iwers of Eden hue: Toy loveliest, are thy blight eyed girls, Of fairy forms and elfia curls, And smiles like Harmon's dew They're hearts like those they're bora towed Too proud to nurse a slave, They'd scorn to share a monarch's bed, And soonef lay their angel bead IWp in their humble grave. And hve left thee, Home, alone A pilgrim from tby shore; The ;nd goes by with hollow moan; 1 hear it sigh a warning tone ' Ye ree your burnt no more!1 I'm cast upon tbe world's wide sea, Torn like an ocean weed; I'm cast away far far from thee, 1 feel a thing I cannot be A bruised and broken reed. Farewell, my native land, farewell! That vave has bid tbee now My heart is bow'd as with a spell, Tk rending pang! Would I could tell What ails my throbbing brow I One look upon that fading streak Which bouuds yon eastern sky; One tear to cool my burning cbetk, And (hen a word I cannot speak ''My native land Good bye." Long Island Sound. P. H. YOU DOWT EXACTLY SUIT ME. A youth to me a wooing came, For pity did implore me And hoping I d neither slight or blame, The lad that did adore me. I liked him much, but hid my plan To see bow he'd repute me I frowning cried, don't tease, young man, You don't exactly suit me. He seetn'd confounded, vex'd he stared, Then vow'd he'd ne'er deceive roe, Says I, )our presence can be spared, If you please sir, you can leave me. What, leave you love I uever can, I swear by alt your beauty; Now. pray, said I. don't tease, young man, Y;U don't txactly suit me. II i f!Hfd, sigh'd. hung dowo bis head, Which proved I'd fairly caught him, Oh hhfte n:y lore so church, he stid You spe ' d what I'd brought him. Dfr sir, 'h I if that's my (ate, a wd i' .t tvoQ-'sn's duty Lei's fl , cr be too lite; esciy suit me. THE LEFT EVE. A Calmuc ta!e,trcnslulcd from theUusshn, A t u n oh; .n;ii)y vho reidfd al 'he xtremit) of the camp, quite a part from the rest, had three dangler, the you..gtit of whom named Kookju, wasaJ much th-tincuirh d for her beauty as for net exi fvtorf4!! ary wi.iom. One morning as be was obout driving hi cattle for Pale to the Chad's market l.M-r, he begged his daughters to tell lix what presents they wished him to hit : v; them on his return. The two el--I aked him for trinkets; but tb Landrurne and wise Kockju said that sin wanted' no present, but that she had a

request to make which it would be difficult, and even dangerous for him to execute. Upon which the father who lover! her more than the two others, swore that he would do her wish, though it were at the price of his life. If it be so,' replied Kookju, "I beg you do as follows: sell all your cattle except tlu

short tailed ox, and ask no price for it except the Chan's left eye.' The old man was startled ; however remembering the oath, and contiding in his daugh ters wisdom, he resolved to do as his daughter bade him. After having sold nil his cattle, and being asked for the price of the short (ailed ox, he said that he would sell it for nothing else but the Chan's left eye. The report of this singular and daring reqtu'St soon reached the ears of the Cnan's courtiers. At first thev admon ished him not to uq such offensive ppeech against the sovereign; but when they found that he persevered in his strange demand, they hound him and carried him as a mad man before the Chan. The old man threw himtit-lf at the Prince's feet, and confessed that this demand had been made a the request of his daughter, of w hos motives he was perfectly ignorant; a. d the Chan, suspecting that eome secret must be hidden under this extraordinary request, dismissed the old man, under the condition that he would bring that daughter who m idf il. K j! .appeared, and the Chan a?ked: 4 Why didst thou instruct thy father to demand my left eye?' 'Because I expected, my Prince, that after so strange a request, curiosity would urge thee to send for me.1 'And wherefore dost thou desire see me?'

tojpfjr

4l wish to tell thee a truth importance totnvseif ana my people. Name ill' 'Prince,' replied Kookju, 'ivhen two persons appear before thee in a c: iv-, the wealthy and noble generally saKi on thy right hand, whilst the poor an J bumble are on thy left. I have heard in my solitude that thuu most frequently favorest the noble and the rich. This is the reason why I persuaded my father to ask for thy left eye 5 it being of no use to thee, since thou never seest the poor and unprotected.' The. Chan, incensed and surprised at the daring of the maiden, commanded his court to try her. The court was opened, and the president who was the Eldest Liria, proposed that they should try whether her strange proceeding was the effect of malice r wisdom. Their first step was ta seed io Kookju a log of wood, r ut even on all sides, orderinir her to find out which was the root and which the top? Kookju threw it into the wat.:r, and Mi in knew the answer, on seeing the root sinking whilst the top rose to the surface. After tills they sent her too snakes, in order to determine which was the male and which the female. The wise maiden luid them on cotton, and on seeing that one coiled itself up in a ring, whilst the other crept away, she judged that the latter was a male and the former a female. From these traits the court was convinced that Kookju had not oilended the Chan from motives of malice, hut the inspiration ot wisdom granted her from above, riut not 60 the Lhan; Ins vanity was hurt; and he lesolved to puzzle her with questions, in order to prove that she wa6 not wise. He therefore ordered her before him, and asked: 'On sending a numberof maidens into the woods to gather apples, which of them will bring home most?' 'She,' replied Kookj.i, who instead of climbing up trees, remains below and picks up those which had fallen ofT from maturity or the shaking of the branches.' The Chan then led her to a fen, and asked her which would be the readiest way to get over it: and Kookju said, Mo crossit would be the farthest, going roand nearest.' 1 he Ghan felt vefid at ihf readiness and propriety of her replies; and, after having reflected for some time, he enquired: 'Which is the safest means of becoming known to many?' 'By assisting many that are known.' 'Which is the surest way of always leading a virtuous life?1 'To begin every morning with prayer, and conclude every evening with a good a( tion.' 'Who is truly wise?' 'Ij.' who Joes not believe himself so.' 4 W rial are the requisites of d good wif,r 1 6 k5:u should be es beautiful as a pea ben, gentle as a lamb, prudent as a aipf,just hs a faithful mirror, pure a.a scle oi tisn; she must mourn for hci deceased husband like a she camel, and mv in her widowhood like a bird which Tie Ciian astonished at the wi?- : m of the fair Kookju; yet enraged ai her having reproached him with injustice ,he still wished to destroy her. After a fe dys he thought he hat' nund the means for obtaining his ohj-ct. He sent for her to determine the tiu worth of his treasures; after which he promised to absolve her from malice in

questioning his injustice, and lo admit that ehe intended, as a wise woman, merely to warn him. The maiden consented, yet under the condition that the Chan would promise implicit obedience to her commands four days. She requested that he would eat no food during the time. On the last day she placed a dish of meat before him, and said 'Confess O Chan I that all thy treasures are not worth as much as that joint of meat!' The Chan was o struck with the force of her remark, that he confessed the truth of it, acknowledged her as wise, married her to his son, and permitted her constantly to remind him to use his left eye.

THE jEIVSilPER. A farmer with his family, were seated round a spacious fire-pl.ce of their little kitchen. The. labors of the day were over, and no cares or troubles disturbed their innocent bosoms. The Site seated in an armed chair in the corner, of course smoked his pipe contentedly ; his sorrows were lighter than the circling smoke, se'nt upward from his pipe in a thou&and fanciful form, the Mother, too wa equally happy, and the boys and girlc by cracking nuis, and otherwise diverting themselves, were as happy as either. The old gentleman took a few whiffs from his pipe, then leisurely taking the instrument from his muuth, bent forw ard with his elbow resting upon his knees, and after meditating a few minutes, r.iiscd up his hvad and said, 'Is theie an) tning wil - ? leere any thing children. which c ; .t .ie atom lo our happi-..ni.-g.r iilcr.ee a moment each ;u to e dt p regaged in it length the old Lidy aiu kl tans th-.-the :, think el ae thh g.'

A lover of News-papers. Speaking a good word for one's self. Th N: Hampshire Journal says, that among many candidates far the etliee of Stienffof Sir.ifTord, (the most lucrative eliice in that State,) one Joseph foodey has put in his claim, and bus gone to work very manfuil), by a public advertivemei t. He appears, from some remarks in the Journal, lo be an Elder in some church there. The following is his ''letter patent." From the Dover Gazetto. TO THE PUBLIC. 1 have no one enpuge.d for me in any electioneering pursuit, hrd 1 am fca: lul that the nuhhc will never think of mv

worth unless I te'lof it myself; 1 am not!aod teetoi

able to buy a passage into public r.tuYe 0Q into public i tHce f Jesnis the usu il . sr , " bauens ot rum, oihowith money, and course of making lib dy and other strong riiink, and sa by the use of the gill cup to procure all the suffrages of the worshippers ot Bacchus. 1 make no loud Huzz'ts, or c tT r any sacrifices on any party Altars, where merit is not to be found; 1 am not very infcrioi in common abilities, although some men know more than I do; I am about fifty-six years of age, and there is nothing in mv appearance very uncommon; 1 have rather a long phiz and a Roman nose; and when 1 was young my hair was as black ns a raven. I understand there will soon be a vacancy in the oliice of anerui in tne county ot Straflord, and 1 I'fler mvself as a candidate for said office. for I think I should make a first rate hangman; for I can fix the rope myself without calling on a Hiberni an or an Englishman to do it for me, and I will agree to hang every culprit gratis that shall be delivered into my hands whether he be whig or tnry, whether he be hi; Adams man or a Jaeksonitc, but 1 would not hang them together for fear of an uproar, for some of them are as refractory is old Nicholas himself. I will also allow to my deputies a better compensation than they now have; for instead of aking from them two fifths of their lawful fees I will take only one fourth. There must be a Reform in this thing. "O that I were made Sheriff inlhis1 ounty, that every man might call on me! and 1 would do him justice." I will proure good bondsmen and will reduce the expenses of the office 25, or 30 per cent a ear rather than not to have the appoint-

merit. I reside very near the centre of

the county and have never becnin the habit of elbowing for office nor hanging round the executive board for lucrative appoint mcnts, but 1 concluded that 1 would apply in season at this time, lest while I was stepping in, some other should step forward before me, and get the appointment. I think 1 am entitled to the cilice, for 1 am of French descent and a full blooded republican of the Jdlerson school. American Liberty and Repub lican Equality are words for me. Retrenchment and Reform shall be my motto, "not only in word and in tongue, but in deed and in truth.'' I am sorry to be compelled to recommend myself in a public way, but 1 thought it more decent to do it myself than to make cats-paws of . i... i i every one l met, ny crimps auu uuwf, glasses of punch, winking, blinking, and fair promises; saying, k4if )ou will comb my head 1 will scratch your elbows and i-am not of the executive hoard and cannot vote for himself in that dtpar!ment, hope however that hii Excellency th; Governor with the honorable Council

will think of me when a vacancy shalljtbe 2d Monday in JVbvemler, IS29, and contiu-

take place as aforesaid. 1 am the public's humble servant, JOSEPH BOODEY. A ezv-Durham, June 15, 1829.
