How pleasantly they rise, In beauty, o'er htr fertile land, Beneath the summer skies; They spread upon her flowery plains, Her gently floating hills, And nestle in the erove that bend Above her shining rills. Rich fields of crimson, creen and cold, Like qaiet seas arc there; And boughs, that drop with luscious fruits, Are floating on the air; The clear coh) spring comes shining forth, From out its luo's-huiifr cave, And o'er l he rioters that kiss its streams, The sheltering locusts wave. Around, in woven arches stand The riant forest tries; And vrreathi'ig vines and blossoms f.iug Their fragrance on the breeze; The pawpi w roars its silver shaft Above the mandrake green, And bounding o'er the fallen tree, The graceful deer is seen. The Q--i humming of the bee, 'i"ue distant hunter's horn.

Eilen Leeland, the eldest of the three daughters, was a beautiful and lovelv girl of sixteen when she was compelled to break away from her endearments that bound her to the home and the friends of her childhood, and follow her parents into the solitudes of the west. Two j ears had elapsed and she had formed no attachments and hut few acquaintances in the village of W . Though the grace and elegance of her deportment and the spright lines of her mind, chastened into mildness threw a charm around her, that invited attention, it might be said commanded adoration from every one, yet she declined every solicitation to mingle in society. She lived a secluded life seeming only anxious to live for her parents, and in their affections Ellen Leeland was deservedly an idol. Und r the accumulated weight of adversity, which had now overwhelmed

them, both mother and daughter seem ed to sink down together. Their sor

rows were of such a cast, that consolation could not reach them. They had

icen in prosperity, they had been re

had been men of business, men of the

INQUISITION IN NEW YORK. A young woman, who was a Romanist, residing in Newark, Jersey, was in the habit of coming to the city for confession, absolution, and other Romish instructions from a Popish Priest. At length she learnt so much of evangelical truth from the family of Protestants with whom she lived, that she desisted from attending confession, the mass, and the other mummeries of Popery.

Some time had elapsed while she was in this state of mind, and she thenvisit-

The regular legal process was resorted to, and in consequence she was discovered.

We are ruled by a pruse proud aristocracy, who control us by our wants, with assure, as galling and as debasing a despotism as ever was inflicted on any ; people at the point of the bayonet. An honest opinion that exposes the wickedness of that system, which wrings the last morsel from the laborious poor, and turns the naked family into the streets, is sure to expose him who dares give it, to the abuse and poscriction of that unprincipled aristocracy of wealth, which sways and governs the country with a rod of iron. For the present generation of the poor and hard working men, there is little to hope for here. To all who can do so, we say at once, fly to the great xcest. The ruthless hand of monopoly is upon the little that escapes incorporated monopolies, which are in plain terms, fraud and oppression syslemized and made permanent in the shape of hanks, insurance, factory and road companions, the little that escapes these engines of extortion is pocketed by individual cupidity. For the poor and honest man there is indeed nothing to hope for here. Even the right of suffrage is a mockery, and jou are

whipped up to the polls like dogs. Fly to the great JVcst! Go at once, all who can go, and the burthens of such as may be left will be lightened in some degree by the measure, since the number of white slaves will diminish and the wages of slavery by that means become enhanced. Fly to the great West and carry with you a determined and uncouquered hatred against every species of monopoly and extortion. Here, the halls of legislation are entered only 1 by a golden key, and their doors are rudely slammed into the face of honest poverty. There is law here, abundance of law but none for you.
