4i. i. (C7 THERE are very few, who relin'r Uisly.live, through-" th i p at,"- though there were to be no koxrow and who ul .all time are prfarkd tbvquit the present stage of existence, t appear before the tri bunal of their God: And there are at few, who this day are preparing', for what tu-mir-mayproduce. There are few, also, who rc. o happily constituted, .by education and reflection, as to rise superior to the frowns ' of jHAproiNTjjET, and the smilzs of tor-' tune and lkviti and who turn each vari td. scene.of human life, of nature, and of art into moral usefulness. Columbian Ctntintl. TO'DAT AND TOMORROW, rp V- ' '' . J., Q-day the Sun with cloudless ray, Beams joy and happiness around To-morrow winds tempestuous play, - And sleet adorn the frozen ground. , Such, is the doom to roan assign 'd j Such are the change of the mind. Toay the genial zephyrs breathe, The fragrance of the opening year J 1 To-morrow sees the barren heath, -And vegetation disappear. -' Such is the fate of human kind, Sucn are the changes of the mind. To-day the sun of Pleasure smiles, Youth Joy and Beauty, deck the scenes . The magic wand of Hope beguiles, And not a dark cloud interrenes ; Such is the view to youth aisign'd ( Such the delusions of the mind. Tomorrow Disappointment lowers, II iares earner gnaws mc aenmg oreasi, Regret each passing moment tours, Or Sorrow reats her gorgon crest : Such is the doom to man assign 'd ; -Such are the changes of the mind. To-day deceitful Fortune wears, The gladd'ning smile of Joy aid Peace ; We seek not Sorrow's hidden snares, That soon may bid our pleasures cease ; Our prospects fair, and unconfin'd, Yieli sweet contentment to the mind. To-morrow wears another face ; And dark'ning clouds obscure the view ; In vain the past scenes ws retrace, Or strive the future to pursue : Hut dreary are the thoughts assign'd, To occupy the gloomy mind. Tu-dy then let us all prepart, For what the morow may produce I To-morrow be eur chiefest care, To put each hour to proper use ; Hove in the sphere by Heaven design'd, And regulate the wandering mind. We learn (says the Boston Gattite of the 10th instant,) that a British U gun-brig is now rruWing within our Ljf. A vessel arri ved in Salem on Friday last, was boarded on the same day by this privateer, and had her letters and papers opened, and strictly exa- mined. The commander of the brig infor med the Salem captain, that he should keep a ! fpod look-out for a number ol ships, ( cj vhuh I he said ht had a list ) homeward bound to this and the neighboring ports from distant pla ces. A letter has been received at Rus.ul's insurance office, which had been broken o pen and indored on the back Eamn;d h ntefhtt Majiitft'ttirttccrt, June 6, lQ(i." MIR AND r'P?niTinf. A letter from a reprctable merchsrt at 'Cutrstoi, to a gentleman in Rostan, dated &Ut 6, 1835, says" Miranda's scheme of ntsking a revolution on the Spauikli Main, is entiifly fru.tratfd; and he only 'etched by the Miperior sailing of his ship. Two of his tenders, laden itli all kinds of ammunition, and 60 men of his troop, have fallen into the hands of the Spaniards; himself fought for a qurirr of an hmir with a Spanish armed brig, near Potto Cvrllo; but wasebhgcdto cut his cables, and run. After touchy it Jaquemct, to solicit assistance from the bUcks, which he could not tret, he came lo Arula ten days ao, trrte S 1000 for a pi lot, and from the ace to Uonaire, where he re rntinrd two days to prtpare himulf for ac tion, and proceeded farther U the Spanih coast. In rompiny with two schooners, lie fell In with two iSpanith armed brigs, near I.aguira, who cnt'.ged him, and captured the two tenders.

Lewis sailed with two schooners for Tort-au-Prince, near which place there was a position occupied by 2i00 Mujattoes, who on a former occasion ;!ad promised to ship themselves in a body, it he would procure a country for them to go to as they were afraid of being massacreed by the blacks ; the mulatioes are under the com mand of one Pichon. Lewis had with him powder and ball, some hundred stand of i arms, and 6600 pikes there were lvvovessels ! fitting out on the same expediton . from Bos ton, one of which had sailed, but he could not tell her name; that the ship Louisiana had sailed,, mounting 16 guns, wit 20 field ; jyeces and 13 mortars on board, a conside rable quantity of arms and ammunition, and Incomplete equipage for mounting a regiment of cavalry ; that the result of his enquiries is, the - Indostan and Emperor had cleared and sail ed for St. Marc's and Jaqueroel.

From the best information he could ob tain, they carried about 12,000 men for dis embarkation, taking as many as they could in each vessel, so as not to give rise to suspi cion ; that he had no doubt they are destined against Carraccas, and therefore sends this acccount, that he may be prepared against a- ny surprise from these pirates.
