THE RISING SUN, oh the first or January, is34.
"Tis winter now the dark cloud floating high. Looks cold and dreary as it passes by; Hail-storms and roaring winds infest the air, And frightful tempests clash together there: 'Congenial horrors' mantle all the plains. Till scarce a verdant bough or leaf remains: All. all is wrap'd in w inter's deadly gloom. The autumn's harvest and the summer's bloom. Thus New-year comes, all clolh'd in attire sad, la aspect surly and in conduct mad: Waste laying and in wrath destroying all That "chance within his cold dominion fall. et him we welcome as a friendly guest That brings us comfort competence and rest; As Heathens pay their homage to the sun, Merely because their fathers so have done. And such, alas, i- fickle fashion's force, That oftohserv'd, 'tis binding then, of course: Thus praise is oft hestow'd. (friendship untrue. Wh ere censure open and reproof are due. And where the rod with force should be applied. The highest honors scarcely are denied; While many a gen'rous, frank and noble heart Is doom'd to act some low and humble part.
But ours is not the part of stealth to play; We love to act in fair and open day
To "-praise w here praise is dur," and blame where blame, i I .. - ...-.,. 1. : ... : .! 1 1 '
i.i spm: u i.isiiiuii, piiuu 01 oilier name. We hold t lie adage true, that light and truth Need no abettors, from our joyous youth; And sword in hand, or paper pen and ink. We still maintain the right to speak and think.
Full well we know the pride of man disdains To see his image, drawn in living strains; But trying as such circumstance may be, 'Tis but the native fruits of Lireuty. To Sieak as we believe, without dispute, Is gloiious Freedom's choicest attribute; And strip but this one garland from her crown. We rob her of her dearly bought renown. Let others then raise songs to new-vear's blast; "Tis ours to sing of the eventful past Recount the tragic deeds that o'er it lie. And note the changing seasons as they fly Record in hist'ry's ever grow ing page, The fruits and follies of our day and age; And strive to draw in pictures bold and fair, Not what we would but what we rea'lv are. And 'mong the incidents that crowd our way, Shall we forget to name the Cholera? That dreadful scourge that cross'd the briny wave, And swept its thousands to an early grave, Ere it these fair and healthful climes could gain To spread its terrors and inflict its pain? Oil! it was frightful and its victims fell Too sudden oft, their dying wish to tell! Jn vain has art sought out the latent cause, And strove to make the fell intruder pause; With rapid speed it rides upon the winds. And brings destruction sure on all it finds; From shore to shore its victims still pursues, And as it goes the fatal poison strews It seems as 'twere the very fi'rv rod. The dispensation of offended Goi. B it whit avails it! Heav'n has plead in vain. In vain chastis'd, and plead in vain again: Man scorn to quail beneath misfortune's frow n, And ever hardens when 'midst dangers thrown Just as the surgeon holds a steady hand, From having oft the subject at command: And soldiers in the baltie-ficld delight To rush amid the dangers of the fight. Now let us to the South in pity turn. Where hateful discord's lurid torches burn. There front to front contending brothers stand, And reckless s-pii its seem to rule the land. There ev'rv rising passion of the soul Is smother'd by dread anarchy's control, Save that alone which seeks for vengeance, where It most should love and most it should revere. In speeches loud and long their leaders boast Of what they are and what they value most, And what their great exertions have, achiev'd; But they and all their folfwers are deceived Theirs is the vict'ry but of madam's tongue, Too weak to punish, yet forever strung And ready for the battle, though its strength, By no means is proportion'd to its length. Immortal Sires! ye who have gone lo rest. And long have slumberd with the joyous blest; Ye who upon the field of battle bled, And fought above the dying and the dead; Oh! if your conq'riner spirits could return, And with again the warrior's ardour burn, What more could wound their pure, devoted pride, What more could their exalted deeds deride! Far be"l from us to use severity Toward a part of our fraternity, Unless in outlaw'd cases, such as we, Sincerely must believe this one lo be; And then, depend upon"), we shall not spare Nor friend nor foe no matter who they are, The same unsparing lash shall be applied,

On Politics we dare not say a word, Since on that point v:e are a very gourd; Not knowing whether men or measures rule, Not knowing who is wise or who a fool, Not knowing what "judicious" is, or where The pinks and roses of the nation are. We must confess the subject is too deep For such as we to even take a peep. But other open truth full well w e know, Or else our knack of judgment w e forego That so much talk 'bout politics is more The noise of fools than men of better lore; Since all that's needed is some jackanapes, Who knows the odds'twixt sweet and sour grapes; And he to fill some petty edit's chair. And puff and blow like Pompus at a fair. We hate that ribaldry, that low device That never ends at being utter'd thrice; But ever and anon salutes the ear, And boldly deals out slander by the year. "Tis but the offspring of a coward heart, That does not dare to act a better part; But ever cringing at its master's feet, Its devil like complexion is complete. Yet these must have their places, otherw ise. This narrow earth could not a world comprise; "And spite of pride, in erring reason's spite, One truth is dear whatever is, is right.'' Had man but acted faithfully his part, No cause of sorrow had assail'd his heart; But ever bent on pleasure vice and pelf, He brought his pains and troubles on himself. Religion, like the golden sun above, Holds out her lamps of everlasting love, To guide the wand'ring pilgrim in his way To that bright realm where shines eternal day. From ev'rv shore her loud hosannas rise, Borne on resounding echoes to the skies; There, mingling notes from the angelic throng Unite to swell the never-ending song. Celestial flame! down from the upper skies, Thou coin's t to bid th enraptur'd soul to rise; And on tlte w ings of thine adoring love, To scale the starry vaults of heav'n above. 'Tis thine to nurse the heav'n-aspiring thought, That else would sink and vanish into nought; And bring its native reas'ning powers forth, To teach the soul its own exalted worth. 0!i! were it not for thy disposing Light, How long had man been shrouded in the night Of intellectual gloom that ever hung. In horrid clouds above the heathen Tongue! 'Twas thou alone that chang'd its low desire And (ill d the soul with renovating fire; And sav'd It from a curs'd and wretched fate. To bloom forever in a bless'd estate. Hail Sctknce, hail! refulgent from the east, Thou com'st lo shed thy glories on the West; And where thou find'st the sons of genius are, To plant thy ever honor'd temple there. Like the increasing beams of rising day, Thy sun forever brightens or. the way; And bursting on the op'ning fields before, Shall shine till mental darkness is no more. Blest Science! it was ever thy pursuit "To teach the young idea how to shoot," And fix upon the mind of glowing youth The principles of thine eternal truth. 'Tis thine to bring to light the secret springs That actuate and move all living things; And as in scales to weigh the pond'rous Earth, And tell how much or little she is worth. Soft smiling now, as blooming lillies stand, In snowy robes, the daughters of the land: Defying both the pencil and the pen, They rise superior to the praise of men. Secure behind such self-cudearing charms, Their beauty ev'ry purpose vile disarms; And meek and mild and modest as the dove.
Their hold is virtue and their armour Love. Kind Woman! full too oft has been the lot, That cast thee where thy goodness was forgot; And coward spirits dar'd reproach thy will, While nobler hearts had bow'd and lov'd the still. With thee the varied song lias ever teemd Of good or evil, as the muse hath deem'd; But where one vagrant bard has sung thy shame, Some thousands worthy have ndor'd thy name. Sweet Comforter! lleav'ns last but choicest gift, Without thee man were hut a bark adrift: Mid dangers thrown, mid sorrows grief and fear, What were he, were thy presence wanted here? Sure thou of all that minister below Art first to serve and foremost to bestow; And in the sol'mn and painful hour of death Thy presence Woman, softens cv'ry breath. But now the song must end -the muse is lir'd, The wasted taper too is near cxpir'd: The midnight moon has clim'd the eastern hill, And all as in the sleep of death is still. Now we the parting blessing would implore Of Him whom we admire and adore! Oh! may his gracious mercy still appear
Or we, in truth, confess that we have And keep and save us through the new-born year!

An officer in the fleet of Earl St.. Vincent, asked one of the captains, who was gallantly hearing down upon the Spanish fleet. "Whether he had reckoned the number of the enemy?" "No," replied the latter, "it will be time enough to do that when we havr made them strike!" Matthews being asked what he was going to do with his son, (the young man's profession was to be that'of an architect.) "Why," answered the comedian, "he is going to dram houses like his father.'" Who was Jesse. An old master, who usually heard his pupils once week through Watt's Scripture History, and afterwards asked them promiscuously such questions as suggested themselves to his mind, one day desired a young urchin to tell him who Jesse was? when the boy briskly replied: "The Flower

A young man in a large company, descanting very flippantly on a subject, his knowledge of which was evidentlyvery superficial, the Duchess of Devonshire asked his name. "'TisScarlet," replied a gentleman who stood bv. "That may be," said her grace, "and yet he is not deep red"

Of Hartford, Connecticut,
FFERS to effect Insurance on be
half of said Company, on Dwel
ling-houses, Stores, Ware-houses, Mills, Factories, and buildings in general; Merchandize, household Furniture,and every description 'f personal property, against loss or damage by Fire. Also, on Steam-boats, Flat-boats and every other description of vessels, with their cargoes, against loss or damage by INLAND NAVIGATION. The terms are as favorable as those of any other Company; and all claims for losses, will be liberally adjusted, and promptly paid. The advantages of Insurance, to trading men, are so well known, that I consider it needless to say any more to that portion of our citizens, than to point to the above advertisement; that they may recollect they have those advantages at home. Those who are not engaged in business, do not seem, so readily, to perceive the advantages that might accrue to them, ind will, probably, not generally insure their property, until we are visited by a devesting FIRE in our village.
