a PHoctry. THE NEW MOWN HAY.

BY PARK BENJAMIN.

| |

Talk not to me of southern bowers,

Or odors breathed from tropic flowers, Of spice trees after rain ;

But of those sweets that freely flow

When June’s fond breezes stir the low

Grass, heaped along the plain.

| This morning stood the verdant spears, All wet with diamond dew—the tears By night serenely shed ; This evening, like an army slain, They cumber the pacific plain

With their fast fading dead.

And when they fell, then all around

Sach perfumes in the air abound

As if long hidden hives

| Of sudden richness were unsealed,

When on the freshly trodden field They yielded up their lives.

In idle mood I love to pass

‘Lhese ruins of the crowded grass,

Or listlessly to lie,

| Inhaling the delicious scenis

Crushed from the downeast, yverdure.s tents, Beneath a sunset sky.

'

It isa pure delight, which they

W ho dwell in eities, far away, From rural scenes so fair,

Can never know in lighted rooms;

Pervaded by exotie blooms— This taste of natural air!

Phis air, ro softened by the breath Exhaled and wafted from the death Of herbs that simply bloom, And, seurcely not d, like the best Dear frien ls, with whom this world is blest, Await the common dvoem— And leave oehind such sweet regret As in our *eart is living yet, Though heroes pass away ; Tal« not tu me of southern bowers, Ur odors breathed from tropic flowers, But of the new mown hay.

Cuoice Exrract.—O, that hoarse veill of Ocean, never jsilent since time began—where has it not been uttered ! | There is stillness amid the calm of thé arid and rainless de- 'sert, where no spring rises and no streamlet flows, and the long caravan plies its weary march amid the blinding glare ‘ofthe sand and the red, unshaded rays of the fierce sun. | But once and again and yet again has the roar of ocean been jthere. It is mis sands that the winds heap up, and it is the | Skeleton remains of his vassals—shells and the stony coral— that the rock underneath enclose. tall mountain peak, with its glittering mantle of snow, where ‘the panting lungs labor to inhale the thin, bleak air—where | BO insect murmurs and no bird flies, and where the eye wau- }ders over multitudinous hill-tops that lie far beneath, and | Vast forests that sweep on to the distant horizon and along

‘long, hollow valleys, where the great rivers begin, and yet ! i , So e 7

}onee and again and yet azain has the roar of Ocean been The effigies of his more ancient devizens we find

jinto the mizt-wreath, and bis latter breaches, stage beyond stage, terrace the descending slopes. Where has the great lestroyer not been—the devourer of continents, the biue, foaming dragon, whose vocation is to eat up the land? His

icefloes have alike furrowed the flat steppes of Siberia and the |

rocky flanks of Schehallion ; and his numeralites and fish lie |

| ‘ ‘ ‘ . ° ; ‘embedded in great stones of the l’yramids, hewn in the times} iment, with others still in his clique, at one time souglit to de- ef the old Pharouhs, and in rocky folds of Lebanon, still un-| prive you of three-fourths of your votes—that his policy has

touched by the tool. So long as ocean exists there must be disintegration, d.lapidation, change, and should the time ever arrive when the elevatory agencies, motionless aud chill, shall |sleep within their profound depths to awaken no more—and jshould the sea continue to impel its currents and to roll its waves—every continent and island would at leagth disap- pear, and again, as of old, ** when the fountains of the great deep were broken up,” ** A shoreless ocean tumble round the globe.” H.

Romantic Carrer or A Woman.—A correspondent of the Times gives the following particulars of the extraordinary career of an aged woman, named Barnes, who is now in a state | of destitution, and in whose case the Revy’d Arthur R. God- ‘son, J, Devonshire street, Portland-place, W., interested him- iself : —* Sheridan knew her as a chi'd, and persuaded her | father to apprentice her, at the age of 14, to Mrs. Jordan, who trained her as Little Pickle, in the * Spoilt Child’ and other }minor characters. At 16 she married John Simonds, a sea- man of the Culloden, and accompanied him to the West [n-

Correspondence.

Sir—It is now well understood that the Royal Commission- | ers have agreed to their report on the Land Question, but as | that report can have no effeet until it shall be confirmed by an

| Act of the Legislature, 1 think it is tue duty of the Governs| ,

ment to make it known to the country at once, and let the ; opinion of the people be passed apon it in the only constitu- j tional way in which it can be aseertained—by a general | election. This would be carrying out the views of the Duke of Neweastle in one of his first despatches on the subject of | the Commission, wherein his Grace says, that the Lieutenant | Governor is first to ascertain whether the tenantry will or will {not agree to the Commission. By this it is evident that the | Duke contemplated an election being held. It will be remem- | bered also that his Grace said, in a subsequent despateh, | that no proprietors should be bound by the award but those | who agreed to the arbitration. | be bound by the award until they bave given their unqualified assent at the llustings in favor of the Commission. which was passed in the Session befere the last to confirm the award ef the Commissioners, was detained here five months after it passed to give the proprietors an opportunity of peti- tioning against it. Their petitions. were the means of pro- curing the suspension of the Bill. Now, if the interests and

so important a matter.surely the whole tenantry of the Island ought to be consulted before they shall be bound down by any | law that may be passed inour local Legislature ; and the only j way in which they can be consulted is by a dissolution. } Yours, &c. Ch.Town, August 2, 1801. GEORGE COLES.

( To rHe Epiror or roe Examiner. { Srr—Mr. W. LU. Pope’s sarcastic addresses to the Protes- | tants of this Island show plainly that he is actuated lees by a llove of truth than the mischievous desire of instigating the ; Catholics to a breach of the public peace. Should he prove } successful in creating & riot, or causing bloodshed, hie ulterior object will eventually be gamed. I trust, however, that the | forbearance and discernment which our Roman Catholic friends | have hitherto displayed, may still enable them to steer clear of the artifice by which he seeks to ruin the Liberai cause. ‘The i patient endurance of his revilings will asuedly turn the jtables vpon himself and his abettors. The disturbances in | Mayo and in Newfourdland, even if truthfully represented,

cin have no relation to the state of affsirs here, any more than |

j the massecre of the Macdonalds at Glencoe moy prejadice the and, bv the bye, the characters of h ihe“ immortal Wrlam” and his Orange advisers do not emerge | scatholeea fromthat horrible narrative. Butit is nat my objeer ‘o rake up the records of such bygone atrocities, althoogh such acu.se may suit the tastes of our more modern William, who, if all be true, has no aspirations after immortality. The Pr.- l teetaait party jn this place must be but indifferently organied lif they can find mo better advocate for their interests than a superficial sceptic, and one whose fame fer honourable dealing has been publicly ques “‘oned. Both Protestans and Catholics have hitherto lived together in amity, and imthe interchange of neighbourly attentions; and can it now be permitted that this desirable state of things should be superaeded by a course of | rancour, hostility, and mutual and wniversal distrust? Ileaven forbid! Surely the sreering invective o! our unhappy aye: jtary and Editor can only be palatable ic the narrow-minded | bigots and ‘TYory part'sans for whom he works. Neither may ‘his friends consider hin altogether free from eusp:ciot in his

| tholie faith, since he has been heard to say that were he u.'led | upon to make a choice of creeds, he would, certainly adopt thay lof Rome, inastouch as it was the only Chareh in winch lie could | discern the principle of Christian unity. “So «uch for the con- | sistency of our Colonia! Secretary, who, in his quixotic zeal for | ; Orange ase: ndancy, would thus recklessly embroil the peaee- | | *ble tuhebitants of this Island in allthe athipathies and horrors | } of religious strife! What, in the nante*of fortune, can the jauthorities be about in taciily permitting these dingerous missiles to be thrown amongst us? Are the peace and welfare | of the country to be placed in jeopardy that their minion may | be continued in office ?

Did not he and his coadjutors sirain every nerve to oppose the introduction of Re- sponsible Government? Is not its present farcica! metamorphose the effect of their wonder working ingenuity? And was it not one of ‘their latest efforts against you to silence the voice of opposition by on act of arbitrary power?

Place no confidence either in them or in their Secretary. They are not your friends. Your duty is to search more narrowly than ever the records of their past proceedings, and to make your prepapations for their approaching overthrow.

Of her four sons by the first marriage, two were killed in the Queen Charlotte at | Algiers; the third fe'l in the 23rd Regiment, in one of | Lord Gough's actions in India; and the fourth, in the Fus- isars, at Balaklava. By ber third husband, who is also | dead, she has three sons and a daughter.

Antiquity or TH# Pic.—ihe pig is the existing represen- tative of a very ancient race of mammals which lived and died upon this earth long before there were Christiaus to devour, or Jews to abhor their ficsh. The same species of wild boar that was hunted by our forefathers was contempo- rary with the mammoth, cave-bear, and the long-haired rhino- ceros. Some persons imagine that geology deals oaly with fossi! shells or fishes ; but there is a vast deal of interest at-

| presentatives of our domestic animals. We kaow that the | wild ancestor of our domestic pig was in existence before the ‘seperation of Kngland from the Continent of Europe; and ‘that the hunter, bad hunters then lived might have chased

the boar through the site of which is now occupied by the | waves of the English Channel. Mammoths, tigers, and rhino-

| eeroces perished, but the wild boar lived, and lives still on the Continent of Kurope, though extinct here. —Old Benes ;

He may. beignorant, vicious ) 2nd wnpriveipled; yet, according to their shewing, he is fully a" Hitied to make a staunch and reliable pillar of the state. In order to divert attention from the blundering legislation ,and fiecal mismanagement of the present Governmen:, these | piows, learned and truthful journalists endeavour to exeite the | fears of Protestants, by expavating on the dreadful consequences of * Catholic ascendancy.’* By a sort of logica! hocus pocus, known only to such writers, | the words Protestantisia aud Toryism are made convertible terms a8 are Liberalisin and “ Popery.”’ {t follows then that jevery Tory isa sound Protestant, and every Liberal either a “Pap si’” ontright, a secret fevourer of “ Rewanism,” of a “tool?” of the priests, This will be news to the many Liberal Protestants on the Island, whose orthodoxy has hitherto been unquestioned, and who, in their simplicity, have thought reli- | gion one thing and polities another. It ia to be hoped that they |will not be so uncharitable as to suppose that there are other and mrs active tool manufacturers in the country than the Ca- tholic priesthood, | llaving scared the wavering, and branded the undeceivable | among Protestants, these writers hope to ensure the victory for | their party by exasperating the Catholics. No pains are spared to effect this. The inost vivlent abuse is heaped Bpon them, | their clergy, and their religion. Those things deemed by them most sacred are held up to the senseless ridicule of the thought- less, the vicious and the profane. Neither the charity of “the | Christiah, nor the courtesy of the gentleman is observed in the Ny aunent they receive at the hands of these conscientious in- structors of the publtic—these sanctified upholders of a godly Government. But I hope, as Protestauts are too inte ligent and | and fearless to be either duped by their flattery or frightened by their taunts or threats, so will Catholics have too much good j sense and forbearance to be provoked by their malicious but ‘feeble attempts to malign and misrepresent them. ‘Their aim lis easily discoverable.

Resrscrep Sim—A report was current some few years ago, for the truthfulness of which I shali not vouch, but it as follows :—Mr. Palmer was accused by Mr. Mooney of ma ing use of whiskey in order to obtain the votes of the Brackley Point peoplg for some political partizan of bis. .

Mr. Palmer, impatient to hear his commen yupon the matter, bawled out, To the point, Mr. Mooney, @t once.’’ ** YesSir, please your honor, 1 will, and in doing “go, [ shall come around by Brackley Point.”? Now, Sir, I sha on Mr. Palmer’s principle of coming directly to the pointeeetin aside many of those Brackley Point questions which shduld not be left untouched, but which are ** too namerous to mention.”’
