HOPE. Come.gentle Hope! come.lieavenly maid, And yield thy all-supporting aid; Without thee life itself were vain, And joy resolved to grief and pain; Hope shall remain, tho all depart, And still sustain the bleeding heart. Thou healing balm of every grief, At hand anon to yield relief; When care corrodes the feeling soul When passions in contention roll; Amid the mind's intestine jar, Bright Hope shall be its polar star. I've seen the soul of honor bend, And none befriending virtue's friend; I've seen the tear of anguish flow Adown the furrow'd cheek of woe: But still to light the sombre scene, The gleam of hope would intervene. And great design and high resolve As frost before the sun dissolve, And expectation soaring high, Too early blighted, wave and die: But tho it wave, and tho' it die, Yet Hope shall light the faded eye. All things beside in Lethe's shade, Shall by revolving Time be laid, And every lovely virtue fly, And seek its native kindred sky And Hope, bright hope, shall gild and cheer, The close of life's entomb'd career. AN INVOCATION On the apprehended approach of the Cholera. Stay, oh stay! thine avenging hand, Thou God of mercy, justice, might; Nor let our fair and happy land, Be ravaged by the scourge's blight. We pray thee stop the dread career Of pestilence, which threats our shore; And drive it hence to regions drear, Where nought but ocean's surges roar. In pity, spare thy people now; Withdraw thy strong arm of power; Avert the fell impending blow; Call back the ills that threatening lower. We own the justice of thy wrath, And know thy vengeance we deserve; But keep th' destroyer from our path, And from thy rules we'll never swerve. But should we feci thy chast'ning rod, And pestilence pollute our air, We pray thee, oh, Almighty God! To keep us in thy holy care. The Cholera. The New York Journal of Commerce says: It is a fact worthy of no tice that, during the past month, the number of deaths by disea ses other than the Cholera has been greater than usual. Whole number of deaths, during the month, according to the reports of interments, 2,733 of which by Cholera, 1,932. Leaving 751 by other diseases. Whole number of deaths in July, 1831, 512. More in July, 1832, (ex- elusive ot Cholera cases,) 239. Marriage and Dcaih.Niu ried on Wednesday evening, 25th ult. by the Rev. D. A. Pe nick, Capt. Thomas L. Stevens to Miss Martha J. Far lev. daughter of Mr. James Farley, an ot this town. Died, on the morning of the 27th ult. Capt. Thomas L. Ste vens, of this place, in the 36lh year of his age. Seldom if ev er have we witnessed a more unexpected or more lamentable dispensation of Providence than that displayed in the death o our worthy townsman and fel low citizen. - Married on Wed nesday evening, he lived not to ece the dawn of Friday morn ing. lie retired to bed Thurs day night in apparent health and happiness, and without ex hibiting any indication of ill ness; at five in the morning, his youthful and affectionate bride discovered him to be in the struggles and agonies of death. Medical aid was instantly sum moned, but summoned in vain; the insatiate archer had sped Ins arrow the vital spark was -.gone death had sickled the spoils ot hymen. The loss of so excellent a citizen at any time is calculated to excite the most painful sensation,but the distressing peculiarities of the present event calls up our deep- est sympathy. An interesting and affecting sermon was prea ched by tho Rev. Mr. Penick, in the Presbyterian church, to a crowded auditory assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to their departed friend and fellow citizen. What rendered the services more interesting was the fact that the same gentle man had been called upon, and officiated in his ministerial ca pacity under very different cir cumstances, only two evenings before. Milton Spec. Sudden IJcath.Cnpt. Jo seph Hart, (having been disea sed for several years with a pal pitation at the heart,) got up on the morning of the 21st ult. as well as usirtil, as it appeared, though he was heard to com plain more than usual the day belore. He rose earlv in the e rose early in morning, went to his stables, and thence to his hosr nen, and o i t culled his hogs; he then walked ! to the spring, and on his return within about forty steps of the! house, he was heard to cry outjlJcbt, and the expences ot the i i i.. i r ii : i: . sr . . very suddenly and fell immedi ately dead. Several of his neighbors were close at hand, and were soon on the spot. Great exertions were made to resuscitate him, but in vain, the blow of death was too strong for mortal man. Capt. Hart was an uncommonly industri ous man, and was much respec ted by his neighbors; he was married on the 27th day of last October, to the amiable Mary Jenkins, and made her a very affectionate husband, which af- ection was ardently returned, though it was but a short time ihey were permitted to enjoy each others presence. Cunt. Hart died in the 321 year of his age, and has left behind an af fectionate wife and a numerous host of friends to sympathize and ween over his tomb. O. may this alarming circumslance be a loud call to all who are left behind to prepare to meet their God, as "in the midst of life we are in death." Oxford Exam. New Paper. We have re ceived the two first numbers of the "Carolina Watchman," a new paper which has just made its appearance at Salisbury, in this fctate. It is edited by Ha milton C. Jones, Esq. and is neatly published on a fair, large sheet. From our knowledge of the varied talents of the Editor, we confidently anticipate a use ful, instructive and amusing pe riodical. The Watchman will support Gen. Jackson for the Presidency; on the subject of the Vice Presidency, it stands uncommitted tor the present. Raleigh Res. (E?A public dinner was given to Judge P. P. Barbour, at Am herst Court house, Va. on the 17th ult. at which he publicly approbated the President's Ve to on the Bank bill. ib. A proposition. Mr. Speight, a Representative in Congress from North Carolina, in an ad dress to his constituents, in view of the power and influence alleged by the advocates of the Bank to be possessed by that institution, proposes, in case it should be re-chartered, that the enacting clause attached to all laws should be so altered as to read "Be it enacted by the Pre sident and Directors of the Bank of the United States." We think the suggestion a very pro per and suitable one for the oc casion. If they can do all they allege, they can, and doubtless will, control all the affairs of the country, and it would be better that the fact should be plainly stated in all our laws. Baltimore Rep. Enormous accumulation oj Revenue. It is stated that the revenue which accrued at the custom house of New York, during the first quarter of the present year, was one million of dollars more than the amount of the corresponding quarter of the year 1831. fcrom an oili cer of the customs of this city, (Philadelphia,) we learn that an increase of half a million took place here. Should the same ratio of augmentation be pre served throughout the year, the surplus accumulating at two custom houses alone, will amount to six millions of dol lars more than the amwunt last year. At this rate, the gross revenue accruing during the lArenr 1832 would amount to J ' : near fortu millions of dollars. and thus leave in the Treasury, after payment of the Public Government, a sum sufficient to corrupt the very vitals of the Kcpubhc.

Richmond JVh 5 Forgeries of Pensioi papers. Two persons, who aw stated to have hitherto born a decent station in society, of Fayette county, Ohio, wen tried and convicted at the lafc U. S.

(EA magistrate, who unfor tunately could neither read nor write, being handed a warrant to read, very sagaciously nut on his spectacles, but unluckily turned the warrant wrong end UDnermbst.
