IS3 vf"' 4 THE CENTEXNIAi; BIRTH-DAY OK WASHINGTON". . Why swell a million hearts, as one, 'With memories of the past? Why rings out our deep thandcr-gv.n Upon the rushing blast! Why hold the beautiful the brave, The Jubilee of earth t It is, it is the day, that gave Our patriot-hero birth. We offer here a sacrifice, Cf hearts, to him who came To guard young Freedom's.-par-adise With sword of living flame! To him, who on war's wind loud, Rode like an angellorm, And set his, glory on the cloud, A halo of the storm! A hundred years, with all their trains Of shadow, have gone by, And yet his glorious name remains, A sound that cannot die! 'Tis gravel on the IvMl, the vale, And on the mountain tall, And speaks in every sounding gale And roaring water-fall No marble, on his resting-spot, Its sculptured column rear, Bui his is still a nobler lot, "A grateful nation's tears! Old time, that bids the marble bow, Makes green each laurel leaf, That blooms upon the sainted brow Of our immortal chief! His deed were ours.but, thro' the world That mighty Chief will be, 'Where glory's banner is unfurled, The prophet of the free! And, as they bend the eagle-eyes On victory's burning sun, Their shouts will echo to the skies Our God and Washington." Louitvillc Journcl o: :::::: :o SO KG. BY G. J. WHTTIEIl.

The sun-light fade forever The constant stars grow dim and cold, But thy affection, never ! : An Earth might wear a changeful sign And fickleness the sky Yet, even then, that love of thine - Might neither change nor die.

"Late in the autunan of iSlT-Tr-some gentlemen, wcr.e'making a tour of the western part of the state of New-York, a journey, executed at that time with difficulty and in many places scarcely practicable. The site of those beautiful, towns and villages, which now line - the road Here then, covered, with impervious t woods which few men had beheld, and viewer yet had thought of making th6 ; scene of ' their, habitations and their hrr.s. Tedious was then the route 'which now affords such-pleasure.; men hurried from a' s-ot where social intercourse scarcely, existed, ifc where th& solitary Indian till.reigncdlhe un disturbed lord. -Towards the close of! a a delightful autUTOikday, as they weir gently cntoring in a boat the beautiful lake ofOneida,and had jubVcknergdffrom!: the ragoucfiur'c 'fttttood ireek, lne lancuid strokes cf a distant oar caught the car of our tra&f&r&tti sounded nearer and, neater, ;aid Ihv . oon found it proc'eedVdfffi'ofn i a .small

canoe, rowed bj one solitary 'individual. As it approached alongside, they asked him whither he was destined? He sullenly answered ha was bound to Oneida Castle. His appearance excited the attention of the party; his garments were faded, though not in tatters; his face such as a Salvator Rosa would have to pourtrayjhis accent bespoke him of French d escent. lie passed on, asif wishing to hold no further converse; and our travellers had scarcely ceased wondering at -this incident, before his canoe Was far behind them. The boat slowly proceeded on the sun hail sunk below the horizon, and the shades of uiht were thickening fast, when an island ofconsiderable extent appeared before them. Altho" the party had heard of its existence, and the name by which it was known by the boatmen of the lake, yet no person was known to have ever before visited it or landed on its shores. The boatmen called it Hoger Bust; in English, High Breast, a Dutch appclation, which its appearance and situation rended apt and applicable. The nearer they approached, they were surprised at seeing marks of cultivation; convinced the tit must be inhabited, they shouted loudly, but no one answered to their call. They then landed, ar.d notwithstanding the night had set in, with lights which they had struck in the boat, they traced their way thro' a short wood, and suddenly entered at the end of it upon an avenue ofshrubery and twig$ of trees interwoven in the form of lattice work, lining each side of the walk: at the termination of which a rude hut was visible. They knocked at the door, and it was opened by a female, who accosted them in French; they informed her of the cause of their visit, and then asked her, if she was not disturbed by the cry they made? She told them she was not, for she thought it occasioned by the indians who were her friends. Our travellers beheld her with surprise; she was clothed in coarse and uncouth attire, had no shoes on her feet and her long hair hung in wild luxuriance down her back; her air and mien were, however, those of a person educated and accomplished. She seemed scarcely twenty; her size was small and her interesting appearance! was heightened by an eye full of intelligence and expression. On informing her of their wish to remain on the island during the night, she politely requested them to make use of her house, this however, they with many thanks declined, but pitched their lent' rear it, whilst the bargeman slept near en the shore near the boat. Next morning they puidthci- respects to the interesting recluse, and received from her the following particulars of her history. The man whom they met on the lake was, she said, her husband, who had gone to th castle of Oneida, to procure provisions. They bad been some time inhabitants of this solitude, though not always inhabitants of this island; they had resided four months in the castle of Oneida, among the Indians; she described them as mild, inoffending; that. she had formed friendship there, which had even to that day

'been of service to herself and husband and as Hie Indians had not forgotten them, they occasionally left-at their secluded settlement, on a return from their hunting excursions, a portion of their game. She had herself, she said already learned with success to fish and foul: and often swam from one island to another; and employed her gun with great success in the destruction of wild fowls. Such was all that the fair stranger, was pleased to disclose of a life evidently of no ordinary cast, and the travellers, not wishing to embarrass her by question?, as to the cause of her seclusion, intimated their intention of leaving the island. On hearing this she flew with eager avidity to oblige, to the garden, and with her own hands dug up vegetables from the ground and presented them to her guests. Before they departed, they selected some wines out of their stores, and other articles which would he luxuries for her in this comparative wil derness, and I left them where she was sure to find them, considering it indelicate to make her a direct offer of them they then left the island, uttering an inward prayer for her welfare.' On their way hack, they Istopped at a set tlement some miles down tlic lake and having related their adventure to somd ofthe settlers, were informed that the lady had once been a nun in T ranee; that she had been taken from a con vent in Ende, by the person they met alone in the canoe; and carried to America; that the causS of his occupying the island was ' hi3 extreme iealousv: that he rigorously restrained her from going any where from it, and had refused to allow her to visit a wife of one hof the settlers who had made a request to that purpose. How, strange fuch feelings should prevade a. "man among the wilds of the forest; that he should not think the being on whom he ha,d

placed his earthly affection, secure In a solitary isle, which holds but her and himself for its Inhabitants! From an old memorandum book of one of the party. " - o::::.:::o Con-hiding by Proxy. A negro, on a plantation in the West Indies, having misbehaved, was sent by his master to the overseer, with a note in which the later was directed to bestow upon the delinquent divers and sundry stripes. Now Sambo had been sent upon such errands before, and keen were his pangs at being again delegated upon such unpleasant duty. He surveyd the note with a rulfled visage, and meditated how he should escape the seemingly unavoidable penalty. At length a thought struck him. Meeting a brother Abyssinian, he shamed sudden and severe illness; "Broddcr Jacko," he said," me got mazin pain in (tomac prease handdis letter massa, and take a sick brodders brcsian." The sympathetic Jacko complied with the pretended sufferers request, and

to his amazement, was forthwith "posted," and received a tremendous whipping at the hands of the oersccr-a poor icquital, lie thought, for doing a brother a favor: Sambo was in ecstacies at the success of his stratagem. Ile-'soon got rid of his pains, and could never see his friend Jacko afterwards without an inward chuckle at the ingenuity of the trick he had played off upon him. o::::::::o LARGE NEWSPAPERS. On this subject we take the following ltom the bulletin-it is only a briel extract though long enough to show the inconvenience, if nothing more, of those modern mamoth gazetts, when contrasted with those of the good old times. "Somebody has said very happily that the New York daily papers arc rutting each other's throats for the benefit of the pjiblick! They have been enlarging, till it really fatigues one to hold the cumbrous thing in one hand, and wc are compelled to have a clothes horse in the parlor, instead of a neat brass fender, to dry it on before breakfast. The great changes which time has effected, are not more conspicious in any thing than in newspapers. One hundred years ago, the small city of Philadelphia was presented once- a week by Doctor Franklin, with a Gazette about the size of a modern pane of glass, which was said to contain "the latest news both of foreign and domestic." The foreign news was six months old at least, while the domestic was confined to the loss of the brindlc cow, a stray horse, or some equally important intelligence. Second street was the west end of the city, and the people who lived abovto fourth street were desperately afraid of wolves and wild cats.''
