POETRY

From the Baltimore Patriot. THE DAYS OF YOUTH. The days of youth, those days of joj, The hours of playful childhood; The rambles of the little boy, Through pasture, jrove and wildwood, Who ran forget ? Where'er we roam, What ties soever bind u, We often think of friends and home, And scenes we left brhind us.

Who hath not oft in life rerurred, To some binl-tic-tinj; ramble SoiiK'srene of mirth that once occurred, t s.oue play-fellow's gambol ? Our memories oft tho.-e scenes renew, The pasture la before u; The trove, the stream are each in ie vr, The willow waving o'er u. We feel the nibbling perch and see The huoy-cork trembling dandling; So true tlie dream appears th it we Are ouns; aeon nd angling; Front tl iw'r to rl.iw'r the hum bird skips: Th re.! hreast's singing oYr us ; The -tr-wberne even tinge our lips, That memory lays before us. The -nnngled fly. the buzzing bee; On- e held between our finders ; The.i.b puerile sporte, in memory K o ! slight irunresjon Ungi r; The in i. the kite, the little mill, Oi .oith n.w gather r ti . I ue; And e't i tra- il rks, all hi itnii still, M i-t h.iinglv surround nie. O!

! agreed in accusing him of fickleness or aposjtacv. I do not know the true cause. He ! had either, calling himself a federalist,

spoken slightly of Adam's army; or being a democrat under allied Jt 'flrrsoirs gunboats. The charge was in either case a serious one; for none hut a fool would ever give up a single article of his party's creed right or wrong. Last I v, he was a fool in his religion. He

; often thought of it, and sometimes spoke of

it. 1 saw him once in the midst of a ga assembly, where hundreds smiled in happi

ness around him. uOne snort year, he whispeted, will see some vacancies in this ! now cheerful circle and the rest will he

as cheerful stil!."" Such gloomy thoughts be often cherished, ai d actually pretended to be the happier for them. Even the day before hi? death, so far from avoiding the theme, he seemed to dwell upon his approaching change w ith calm, confiding, hut not presumptuous joy. But peace be with thee, my much loved friend ! if the world have many wiser.it has none better, it can make none hnppier. PHI LOS PEC.

would I have spoken to her,but it would na do, my courage aye failed me at the pinch, though she whiles gied me a smile when she passed me. She used to go to the wall every night with her twa stoups to draw water after the manner o" the Israelites at gloaming, so I thought of watching to trie her the twa apples, which I carried in mv pouch for more than a week, for that "purpose. How she laughed w hen I stappit them into her hand, and brushed by without speaking. I stood at the bottom of the close listening and heard her lauehing till she was like to split. My

heart (lap tlappit in my breast like a pair

of fanners. It was a moment of heavenly hope; but I s.iw Jamie Coom the blacksmith, who I aye jealoused as my rival, coming down to the well. I saw her gic him one of the apples, and hearing him say "where is the tailor ?' with a haul gatlaw, I took to my heel., and never stoppit till 1 found myself on the little stool by the tireside, and the namely sound of my mother's

wheel hum-humming in my lug, like a gentle luelahy."

French army , in the fatal campaign against

j Russia, a French Colonel, whilst strolling! I in the suburbs of Wilna, heard cries of; i distress from a houso.and entering to ast er-; I 1 i tain the cause, he found four soldiers enI gaged m plunder and ill-treating an aged I lew and a oung girl who appeared the on- j lv inhabitants. He instantly interfered, i hut the marauders, not being inclined toj;

relinquish their prey, proceeded to blows.

i the hou?e severely wounded; he himell; i rectuved some slight wounds, and a ball-. grazed hi cheek. The old Jew and his M tugntor were profuse in their thanks, and; !the Colonel, at their request, made their.

fioue hi heatl-ijuarters during the period ; iiis regiment remained in Wilna. On the; return of the remnant of the French army,;

oppressed with fatigue, want, and disease, the worn out soldier in rags sought the dwelling of the Jew, and with diflii ulty was recogoiz"tl, so comnlettdy changed wax his appearance. Fverv service that

active benevolence and gratitude could

prompt wa instantly exerted; the Jew. iiis daughter and houhold wept over him, watched hi bedside, nursed bin) with the fondest care, and when the Ku.-ians enteral, kept him concealed till he was perlect1 i ecovered. The Jew then completely furnished hi wardiobe and contrived to -end him through the hostile armies to France. At the peace the Colonel was

bilged to retire on a nn-erable pittance.;

a hit h an aged mother and a sister shared. He had forgotten the Jew of Wilna, when

oi e eyenint in the snriuLr ot 1C1C, a man :

! called at hi humble abode in the uburbsl Pari, ami having satisfied himself as to

us identity, placed in hi hand a packet, and vanished. On opening it, the Colonel I aral bilF on a banker in Pari, to the a-

Tiiount of JJaOOO, with the following note:-f He whose ilaughteryou preserved from aj. nrufal r.ivisher, whose life y t)ii saved, ami jj whoe house you protectetl from plunder.)'

at the imminent risk of y our own existence, sends vou an humble otlering of bis grain tude, in the hope it may be useful to you, and which he can well spare from the ample means he possesses; the only return he requires is, that if ever hereafter vou

hear the Jews contemned, vou will sav that!' one ol that race knew how to be grateful.M j!

I be sequel is still more extraordinary. Toe old Jew died at Vienna; his daughter, the heiress of his immense wealth, the lar

gest portion of which was in the French;

hinds visited Paris; it was natural she should seek the brave man who had preserved her from the worst of fates, and with no common emotions he found the young girl be bad protected now a blooming and beautiful woman, and grateful as she was engaging. He soon became a lover, and she soon consented to be his wife; and with her hand he received more than 100,000 as a d owry. l'HLf' paper.

Kular appearance of a grave, elderly r,e tinman, whom I observed sitting 0"n of the side seats apparently aborbc u pensive musings, with his eyes tix d on the rolling tide. There was a mc dancholv (jff. nity in his countenance; yvhib? his vei er. hie locks, gray with age or sorrow, !MJnn. .loosely on his shoulders.

The simplicity if (, iuduced a belief that he was no oilier tjlU1 some old farmer, who was returning fr,rn the citv to his residence in the country. But little attention was, therefore, paid by those pert fashion able, who proin-'na-F.l the deck, to one whom they co ..hlemil a!) unlettered rustic, who had cultivated mind less than his farm; and wha p,;, more attention to the gaining of m than to the acquisition of intellectual riilies. Indeed, the old gentleman's taciturnity, and the antiquity of his dies, af r,l , no small amusement to some merrv wa-jj a kind of buffoons, with whom wr mee; in almost every mixed company; and.h aa whose unhallowed ridicule, not eve., the infirmities of age, nor the misfortune of human nature are exempt.
