AUTUMN. Draw j.ih the autumnal feast to fhare, WhichGod by-nature doth prepare, To man ana beast he 11 freely give, To fowl and hsh that they may live. The cuHur'd fields are cloth'd in rich attire Of bounteous harvest that the swains admire; The bands cf faithful reapers glad and By dawn appear to toil the live lo:i day. Be diligent, r.iy lads, the master says, The present hours are better than future day?, Let us improve the time that is our own, -And reap the fruits we have alrea dy sown. .'hey work all day with one accord, And at night join 'round the social board; The talk and 'jest goes merrily round, And the glad virgins sit with looks profound. The harvest treasures gather'd and secur'd, Against the coming winter's storm insurM, They all give vent to festive mirth and joy, From age infirm e'en to the strip . ling boy. The lib'ral master gives each one a call, At night to meet him in his spa cious hall; By dusk they all attend to join the sport, And after tea they to the glass re sort. November's frost cuts off the leaves so green, Till nought but naked shrubs and trees are seen; 1 The garden's beauteous flow'r-bed fades and dies, Till all like death in desolation lies. The songster of the spring has lost his note, And his admirers have his charms forgot, They shoct him down as he sits cn the tree, Likewise they kill the ence indus trious bee. Vile man ! wilt thou continue thus to storm The helpless poor, tis time you should reform; Think, grateful think, that God did make them too, And ought t' enjoy life's sweets as well as you. TRAVELLER. .u.u io perform the funeral ccrr craonv on the body. The Cu rate refused, saying, 'The soul 01 your brother is now burning in hell, as 1 told you betore. It would be in vain for me to take any trouble about interring his body for during the night the devils will come and carry it away, and in forty days vou yourself, will meet with the same fate.' The Spaniard hot giving implicit credit to this di abolical visit watched durinj the night by the body of his orother, with his pistols loaded. Between 12 and I o'clock a knock was heard at the door, and a voice exclaimed I com mand you to open in the name of the living God; open, if not instant ruin is at hand.' The Spaniard refused to open, and shortly after he sav enter by a window three able bodied de vils, covered with skins of wild beasts, having the usual quanti ty of horns, claws, and spiked tails, who set about carrying the coffin containing the body. Upon this the Spaniard bred, and shot the devil dead, the oth ers took to flight; he fired after them, and wounded both, one of whom died in a few minutes, the other escaped: In the morn ing when the people went to church there was no curate to officiate and shortlv after dis covered, on examining the two defunct devils, that one was the Curate and the other the Vicar, the wounded devil was thcv Sa cristan, who confessed the whole diabolical proceeding.

I disavow the manuscript of St. Helena, and other works under the title of Maxims, Sayings, &c which persons have been pleased . to publish for the last six years. These are not the rules which have guided my life. I caused the Duke d'En ghcin to be arrested and tried, because that step was essential to the safety, interest, and lien or of the French people, when the Count d'Artois was main taining, by his confession, sixty assassins in Paris. Under simi lar circumstances, I would act in the same way." " -The remainder of the will contains a very great number of bequests, too long for insertion. CLERICAL DEVILS. A letter from Barcelona, .da ted the 19th ult. gives the fol lowing account of the fatal re sult of an attempt of the Vicar, Curate, and Sacristan, to play the dl with a Constitutional ist: A singular occurence has taken place in a village called Artes, near Hostalrich, about twelve leagues frcm Barcelona. A constitutionalist being at the point of death, his brother called on the Curate, and requested of him to come and administer the Sacraments. The Curate refused, saying 'Your brother is a Constitutionalist, that is to say, a villain, an impious wretch; an enemy, to God and man he is d d without mercy, and it is therfore useless to confess him!' 'But who told you that my bro ther was d-d I' 'Who told me?' S&V1?" '7 God tonished Spaniard, God has spo ken to you!' 'Yes answered the curate, wun spoke to me of the mass VUlir hi-fvthar ivds rl rl i the devils.'

Constitutive ey have continued to Will of Bonunart. The last will of Napoleon Bonapart has! just been published, in the form of a pamphlet, in French and English, by Mr. Ridge way, of London. The following pas sage appears to possess the chief interest in this very curious doc ument: Napoleon. This loth of April, 1S21, at Longwood, is land of St. Hel ena. This is my testament, or act of my last will: 4 1 die in the apostolical Ro man religion, in the bosom of which I was born more than 50 years since. It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of t he French people, whom I have loved so well. I have al ways had reason to be pleased with my dearest wife, Marie Louise. I retain for her, to my last moment, the tenderest sentiments; I beseech her to watch, in order to preserve my son from the snares which yet environ his infancy. I recom mend to my son never to fcrget that he was born a French prince, and never to allow himself to be come an instrument in the hands of the triumvirs who oppress the nations of Europe; he ought never to fight against France, or to injure her in any manner; he ought to adopt my motto Every thing for the French people. I die prematurely as sassinated by the English oli garchy and its . The En glish nation will not be slow in avenging me. The two unfor tunate results of the invasion of France, when she had still so many resources, are to be attri buted to the treason of Mar- mont, Angereau, Talleyrand, Connubial Difficulties. William Bennington, of Dan ville, Kentucky, lately caution ed the public against trusting his wife Tabitha, and charging her with having left his bed and board. Mrs. Tabitha Benning ton, after acknowledging the pain it gives her to be engag ed in newspaper publications, denies that she left her husband, but charges him flatly with hav ing deserted her, after cruelly beating her with a hickory, and spoiling all her gowns and ruf fles; and further that the bed he speaks of belongs to her. As to the caution respecting credit. Tabitha states that no person who knows him would credit him for one cent. Italian JT 07iicn. There is an old sarcastical savins: con cerning the Italian Women, that they are magpies at the door. sirens at the window, saints in the church, and devils in the house. Scrupulosity.

Since hk marriage he leased a farm of Mr Jaines Cotton, of Scotland Neck (Halifax county) where he was liv ing, together with this womar when she was taken up as a im! way slave in June last.
