Thv voice is in my ear, Beloved Thy look is in my heart, Thy osom is my resting place,

Too precious is its chain, iMl woven of thy love, dear Friend Yet vain—though mighty—-vain!

Thou seestmioeeyegrowdim, Belov'd' Thou seeat my life blood flowBow to the Chastener silently, \nd calmly let me go A little while between our hearts

The shadowy gulf must lie, Yet have we for their communing Still, still Eteruity 1

Alas thy tears are on my cheek, "My spirit they detaio, I know that from thine agony

Is wrung that burning rain. But—kindest—weep not make the pang,

The bitter conflict less— Oh sad it is, and yet a joy .w* /To feel thy love's excels

Bute aim thee let the thought of deatl snlrnn calm restore The voice that must be silent soon,

Would speak to thee once more That thou inayst bear its blessings on

Through years of after life. A token of consoling love, Even from this hour of strife*

TW in kindly tones of cheer, f\-r every spring of happiness 3»y soul hath tasted here L,

The Hannah came to the wharf in Providence like a seagull.—The crew carried their heads erect, ana each one for the twentieth time related the tale of the Gaspee's mis hap and ever mindful to place in conspicuous view circumstances which would tend to show their misfortune arose from their own consummate skill and good manage ment The excitement ran high a mong the good citizens of Provi-

Soon was heard the thundering noise of old Crooch the town drummer, beating "to arms, to arms,'' through the streets and lanes, flanked by boys and idlers, which increased at every step until, having assembled a large concourse of children of every a£e from five to twenty and five he brought them to a vtand still in front of a broad shed, erected at the end of one of the stores where for a moment he seemed to expend all his wrath on the head of his drum, and then ceased. and casting up h:s eye to the top of the shrd, there appeared a tawny Nara^anset Indian, dressed in full costume He hrst pave a shrill whoop, which attracted every eye he theu commenced in good English—utho«e who feel disposed to go up^n a secret suocy expedition, that may possibly give their necks a tight cravat will appear on Sheldon*- wharf this evening, precisely at nine o'clock dressed as you see me." turning round to exhibit his xavage vestment He continued "let none come except stout learts and blood to the backbone He vanished from their sight •Who was that Indian dropped from mouths without number, and no one could answer, but all supposed that Peter was able to gratify their curiosity, and to the of' re peated question, Peter with a know rg t^ist of his sound eye, always plied, "if the old man knows two hitigs, be will keep one for his own ise Before the hour appointed, note than five hundred were on the vharf,

The crew of the Gaspee, consisting of twenty seven persons, were soon on deck» but the boats crew were on as soon, and a real knockdown battle ensued Victory, however, soon declared herself in favor of the assailants

They then tied his majesty faithful subjects, hand and foot, lowered them into the boats, and pull ed for the Pawtuset shore. The last one who had left the deck had applied a torch to some combustible materials on board# and as captain Doddingson sat in the stein of the boat, groaning and smarting under the wounds which both himself and bis beloved king bad that nigbt re ceived, one of his new acquaintances kindly intending to divert his attention from his own painful reflections, by directing his eye to an object, which now began to exhibit a beautiful and sublime appearance, touched him gently on the shoulder and pointed towards the burning Gaspee. "This was the unkindest cut of all not a solitary oath could come to his relief, he groaned aloud and dropped bis head between his trembling knees, and afterwards maintained a profound silence A little before the break of dav the devouring element reached her mag azine, and she blew up with an ex plosion which made every bouse shake, and every pewter plate rattle. within ten mi'es of her

The next day the captain des patched a special messenger to Newport. to inform his superior officer of his unpleasant situation, who im mediately put in requisition all the minions o* his master to apprehend the rebellious perpetraitore Some few of them in the scuffle on the deck, gained broken arms, bunged eyes, and other honorable wounds, and all wbo could not return home during the absence of day light, found a friendly shelter among some of the inhabitants of Pawtuxet. who felt no particular emotion of sympathy for the king or his naval offi cers. Finding every attempt for discovering the actors to be fruit less, he despatched a vessel to Eng land to inform h»s royal master of the insulting indignity offered the crown and tne people of his realm, in this small and despised colony The King immediately sent over his proclamation offering a reward of 1000 sterling for the said sheriff of Kent, and £500 per man for either or every one of the said Indians But as there did not happen to be any one at that time in Providence, or in the whole plantation, very much in want of cash, he has never to this day been called upon to pay the aforesaid reward

•^weet tender sex! with snares encompass'd round, On others hang thy comforts and thy rest. Hoco.

Nature ba made woman weak, that she might receive with grati t.ude the protection of man Yet how often is this protection perverted! How oftpn does her protector become her oppressor! Kven cus torn seems leagued against her.— Born with the tenderest feelings, her whole life is commonly at struggle to suppress them Placed in the most favorable circumstances, her choice is confined to few ohjcctsi and unless where, sii gnlarly tortu nate, her fondest partialities are only a modification of gratitude She may reject, but cannot iuvite may tell what would make her wretched, but dare not even whisper what would make her happv and, in a word, exercises merely a negative upon the most important events of life. Man ha« leisure to look around him, and may marry at any age, with almost equal advantage but woman must improve the fleeting moment, and determine quickly at the hazard of determining rashly The spring time of her beauty will not last it« wane will be the signal for the flight of her lovers and if the present oportunity be neglected, she may be left to experience the only species of misfortune for which the world evinces no sympathy.

How cruel, then, to increase the misery of her natural dependence! How ungenerous to add treachery to strength, and deceive or disappoint those whose highest ambition is our favor, and whos& only safety is our honesty

prow (he BaUimoit Jhnetican* LADIES' FASHION? We find our fellow journalists, after a long silence during which the female imagination was left to riot in all the extravagancies of mode, again taking up the subject of ladies^ dresses The warfare is not carried oo only on the sc«re of health —the fair innovators are reprehended for invading the principles of propor ti»n and beauty, in demonstration

0fwhich

we find at the head of some

of these essays, the outlines of two female figures, one a copy of Venus of Medici, the other of a modern bell as compassed at one#point, swelled at another, and monstrously disproportioned in allv At the risk of sinning against half the world, we confess our prejudices run in favor of the godess who4'lives and loves in stone, though her figure differs essentially from those we are accustomed to contemplate in those -gay resorts where female vanity would wish to shine We forbear te insist on the points of difference but there are some dozen of our lady acquaintances who would make a very near approach to (he proportions of that amiable goddess if they would throw aside the gro tesque appendages which encumber them at prese.tt That we may pro pitiate them in favor of our essayists, and of their laudable effort to bring back the female figure to something like its natural shape, we. take leave to remark, that it is not the use, but the abuse of corseis that they object to: the lady is to permitted this appendage as neces sary to her conquests, it would seem, as the corslet of a knight to his success in battle, on condition of his not straining his point too far.

It is now some six or seve mouths, if our recollection serve us

this interesting subject, since we were struck by an agreeable and niversal change in the female fig ures that crossed us in the street. A gentle roundness of outline spoke wonders in favor of our countrywomen to our unsophisticated eyes, which innocently set down the ac count of nature what was only the cunning work of the mantua maker

change, however, soon came over the spirit of my dream Like a generous nature once deceived we grew unreasonably suspicious A general distrust accompanied all our perceptions, and every day we ascribed less to nature, and more to the artist At length, the absurd imitation we saw every where of the human form, shewed us that the hand maidens of Venus, the mantua makers, no longer content to adorn nature, extended their mighty am bition to excel her The absurdity, however, seems to have reached the last point: we predict that a crisis ^s approaching, and that puffs and paduings are about to "take wings and fly away." Many prudent dachelors have announced their de liberate intention to wait the change of the fashion before they make a choice, deeming it imprudent to en danger an engagement by a discovery of the extent to which the de ception had been carried. Thus all hypocricy fails at length of its ob ject, and no falsehood, however in genious, whether it be a printed puff or a quilted dress, can deceive

Ladies cheapening goods —A short time since t« darn els dressed in overflowing style of country tafctp, flowers, feathers, ribbons, fcc. promenaded our streets, diopped into our dry goods stores, and examined calicoes, chintzes, bombazines, bombasetts, lawn, linen, crapes, hose, handkerchiefs, &c and walked out, saying 'they would look further and call again-' After a long tour of observation, h. many talks with shopmen they succeeded in purchasing a pair of 'whole flats.'
