TIac Pirate ILovcr. ' By J.G JPercival. Thou hast gone from thy love, Thou lord of the seal . The illusion is over, That bound me to thee; , I cannot regret thee, , ' Though dearest thou wert, -' r Nor can I forget thee, Tbou lord of my heart ! 1 .. . I lov'd thee too deeply, ' To hate thee and live; r. ' - . ' I'm blind to the brightest My country can give; ." But I;cannnt behold thee , ---In plunder and g ire, -And thy .llinna can fold thee In fandness no more. Far over the billow , ; . , . Thy biack vessel rides, ' The wave is fhy pillow, ' ' ' Thy pathway the tides, Thy cannon are pointed, Thy red flag on high, Thy crew are undaunted. But yet thou must die. f I thought thou wert brave, T As tiu gea kings of oV But thy Heart is a slave - And a victliiito gold; Tvly faith can be' p lighted Tcrnare but the fVee; Thy low heart hath-blijj'i ted My fond hopes in thee;4 ' 1 not upbraid thee,, ''"' 1 Ittivethee to bear - . The shame thou has made thee,. '' Its dangers and care ; , As thy banner is streaming, Far over the pea, O! my fond heart i3 dreaming And breaking for thee. ' 1 ' ! My heart thou hast broken . .Thou lord of the wave ! ' Thou hast left-me a token To rest in my grave : - . Though false, mean and cruel, Thou still must be dear, ' And thy name like a j nvef, -v J3s treasured up hers. " From the N. York I'ost. The frequent . occurrence of the Jian:e of Smith has -led to numerous whimsical . mistakes and perplexities, some of which have furnished the ground work' of a diverting little drama' and others havebeen expanded into humorous stories. There are clerks in our, Post Otiice, who, wei'e they afflicted with . the cococthcs scnbendiov did: their avocations permit them to try their hands at more diffuse compositions than the brief and pithy sentences which they are accustomed to endorse upon the backs of letter?, might contribute, in no inconsiderable degree, to. the entertainment of the public, by "a'" plain unvarnished tale" of the scene which sometimes occur at the i ost Uilicc window, i;j consequence of the endless ntimbrr nf Sin-iln w! o pear' among the claimants for letters, ' - - - - - - -" v m w 1 A A S V 4 1 P By the last Liverpool packet, a' double Tetfer, folded and' scaled in a way which led to the belief that'moneyVwas enclosed, and addressed to Mrs.' John' Smith, was received at our Post Office. It had not been long deposited in its proper box, before a short, fat, smirking little woman i made her appearance at the window, and, in a broad Irish accent, inquired,. "Have you iver a letter for Mis. Smith?" , "Yes, here is one for Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Calbare Smith is that your name, good wQman" "No,. that's not it my name is Bridgct." ? 'Ah, here is one. Pray what is your husband's name?" "Out on the vagabond, his name is John?" The clerk was about to give the letter to the woman, but his experience had taught Jiim that John Smiths were as plenty as blackberries, and he held it back, while he asked a few more questions. ."And where did you expect a letter from, Mrs. Smith f "Oh, from Cincinnati, or New Orleans, or thereabouts. , The villain John Smith, (that I should say so!) proiH'sed to write me these two months, and ndMhe bit of a scrape of his ugly pen have I seen rt all at all." "But this letter is from Liverpool, my good woman, and of course not for you. " "Liverpool did j'ou say? Oh the ruffian has he then deserted me entirely, and gone back to the old counrv "Supposing he has, you would pro bably expect to receive money from him." "Is it money you mane? Sure then you have put your foot in it. The saddle is on the 'tother horse. It would be asking for money, not sending me any, that John' Smith would be after. No, no, sharp's the eye that ever sees to color of John Smith's money more nor himself and the man where he buys his whiskey." "I fear, if that is the case," said the clerk, "that I shall not he able to give you this letter. It appears to contain a large sum of money, and must be for some other person of your name." The woman went away grumbling nnd scolding, vowing "it was all a chain,"" and threatened, if there tva law in the land, she would have her letter. In about an hour after, a tall, snl! looking man, whose straight black hair,

keen eycy and Indian gait, denoted him'rts one of that portion of our countrymen who1 style- themselves "half horse, half alligator, and a little touch of the- snapping turtle," walked up to the J)lace of letter delivery. "I say, stranger, 1 want a letter for John Smith." "There is none addressed to that

name," said the clerk; "but here is one for iMrs. John Smith." 'Ah, that's me, or what's the game thing, its my woman; so shell it out here in littie less than no time." "Stay a moment, my friend; where did you expect a letter from?" "VY'har Irom 1" .exclaimed the.Kentuckian in surprise. "Look here, stranger, I reckon yon want to poke fun at me. JNow let me tell you,Tm a pretty considerable of a chap 1 m a ni!g-tu;l roarer, all the way from Salt river. So, none of your cockloftical cavorting about me, or Hi be into you like a streak of lightning." 1 merely Wish to know where you expect a ieiter.from, to avoid mistakes, as there are so many John Smiths. The letter contains money." "I hats why 1 want it. ,, And as you're gwaing going to keep the let ter for the sake of the shiners, may be you think 1 arn't worth no money. I tell you what, stranger, my old man's a heavy dbg, arid thinks no more ot a hundred dollars (state bank, you see, not the real specie) than you do of a hundred cents; Why should bet Ar'nt he a director, and w hat account is money to him i" - ' , 4liut this letter is from England. Your father is not an Englishman, is uLook'here, stranger; if you mean to insult me, just step out here, aud I'll lick you within an inch ofyourlile. Englishman,! I reckon if you had seen rue at Orleans with old Hickory, you wouldn't a thought there was much English blood into 'rife, though there was a pretty considerable smart chance of it on to me. . And my wife's rail Kentuck' to the, back bone, too; none of your half and half Yankee trash. Jf the letter's from England, she should not touch" it,ifit contained ever such a powerful chance of money." And so saying, the stranger turned indignantly from the ollice, satisfied Ilia t a letter from England could not be intended for him or his, . . The rest applicant for a letter for John Smith, , was a tr.tall dapper gen tleman, witn hair ol a, reddish cast, light eyes and sandy complexion. The bosom of his vest was traversed in every direction with stnncs ot silk V braid and safety chains, and its coll; ir was rolled back with great precision, so as to display to-the best advantage a curiously plaited bosom to his linen, and a ?et of gilt mounted : studs with which it was adorned. His upper lip was sh ided with some dozen or twenty hairs, vihich, as the weaver said of the threads of his carpet, were not as neiiibqrlv as they should be j but they eiistened'Vith bear's grease, and had been forced with infinite pains from their bristling, to a supine position, so that they presented quite a smart apology for mustaches. Our beau was highly indignant that a post cilice clerk should dare to question him, or withhold a letter addressed "to his lady;" but said it was no more than might be looked for under a rascally Jackson administration told him with impressive earnestness, that he was a gentleman threw his enrd down with the look of an angry Caesar and uttered mighty threats in a very weak and effeminate voice, which was not without a certain quaver that seemed to denote that the speaker wa3 not altogether sure whether the intermediate wall afforded a protection to his exquisite person. 'The clerk, however, receiving no satisfactoryanswers, to his inquiries, was not intimidated into giving the dandy the letter, and the disappointed applicant walked oft in a most unbecoming passion. A J'n blue-eyed red cheeked, raw boned awkward looking man from "down east," was the next to ask for the much claimed letter for Mrs. John Smith; he was succeeded by a chubby negro woman; and a thick set heavy looking Dutchman followed her. They, none of them, however, gave satisfactory answers to the questions which the careful cleik thought it his duty to ask, and were obliged to go away as they came. At last a rmall pretty woman, with high cheek bones, rosy complexion, dressed in a neat close habit, a gipsy hat and having altogether a John tiull air, came to the post ofiice window and - modestly asked if there was a letter by the Liverpool packet for Mrs. John Smith. Noticietr that he ! felt some little reluctance at civin mtto her, she authorised him to break the seal, telling him 'what amount of money it would probably be' found to contain, and one or two other fact?, which would establish her claim bevond deubt. The contents cf the letter proved her riht to it, nnd much to the joy of the clerk, the troublesome epistle passed out of his custody.

1 :We End the following in the Courier des Etats Unis, and give it a hasty translation for the pleasure of our readers. True piety and an exalted patriotism are never inconsistent, and perhaps both may have exhibited themselv es in the way mentioned in the succeeding paragraph U. S. Gaz. "Suwloiska, open this window; I desire to die in the sound of the church bells." Suwloiska had not courage to obey. She looked pensively at her mother. "My daughter, is not this the Sabbath? The hour of prayer has com0. Help thy old mother to prostrate herself before cur good God;" the pious child, the young Polish woman, helped

her mother to kneel. "Suwloiska, 1 implore thee, my daughter, open this window, in order that I may hear .. the hymns of the church." She opened the window on the public squire in which the church was situated, and then returned and sat down at the feet of her silent mother. "Suwloiska, I do not hear the sound of the bells." "Not hear?" j "It is the cannon." ! "Yes, mother, they have come down from the steeples of the churches to "God is with us." The mother listened Again. "What has happened, my daughter; not a single chaunt, not one voice m ihn rhnrr h? what 15 onr nripsit duina?" "He has turned soldier." "Let us pray to God for him. He has prayed for us often enough. It was he who blessed thy marriage, my daughter. Oil, well do I remember it. Thoa wat beautiful; I had drcssed thee mysell. Then the bells rang out iovftillv. Then on thv knees before the altar, thou didst promise del.A . . . . 1 "1 have kept my oath," replied the young woman, blushing with pleasure. The aged mother pressed tiie hands of her daughter closely to hers but suddenly starting, she exclaimed in a shriil voice Where is thy wedding ring?" "1 have given it away," said the daughter, holding down her head. "Suwloiska, has God iteeivtd s uch a.dliwtipn for my old age! On, my daughter, who ha? caused thee to ioi&!et, to such an extent , thy duties ia a wife? That ring, the token vl an eternal covenant between Suwh ika and thee; what has thou dene with it? To whom hast thou given it?" "To Poland 1" and the raised head with confidence. "Our husband are soldiers, our priests are tsoldieis, our church bells have been melted into cannons, our collars, our eariings, our pearls have been bartered for muskets. We wives, we had no longer any thing to give, and neveithelcss, Poland lacked powder. Well, here are six thousand of us already, who have for our country made a actitkc of the only property which remained to u?, that whieli a woman esteem of alioiouments the most pieciotie in ihe world, our marriage rings. We have given them up to purchase powder." The aged mother fclipped hem her withered fingers, the gulden covenant, which she had thought the should ne ver part with; and alter having ki3ed it repeatedly, she wiped her eyes and said: "Suwloiska, take this ring; let it be sold with thine. Go, my daughter tell onr victory; for the country in which wives sell their wedding riiiizs to buy powder, is free, Peii?h the Russian ; now, Su vvloUka, open all the nindou fc. desire to die in the sound of Ihe camcn." d living clock irli-s Ilrtrr.ilton in her book on education, yives a very reroarL'nliln nrnnf llnt llir mpmnrv nf nprrm. tion mav Up pi i urn in l.i.Mi norforti.,,, I i li ii .1 c . , f ; r - i i . i i . . tive.
