Gould. a The ship has anchored in the bay ! They've drqppM her weary wings, but some Have mann'd the boats and come away ;, But where is he 7 why don't he come ? Among the throng, with busy feet, My eye seeks him it cannot find : While others haste their friends to greet ; Why, why is he so long behind ? Because he made me dry my cheek, I dried it, when he went from us t smiled with lips that could not speak ; And now, how can he linger thus 7 . I've felt a brother's parting kiss, Each moment since he turn'd from me, To lose it only in the bliss Of meeting him where can he be? I've rear'd the rose he bade me rear I've learned the song he bade me learn, And nursed the bird that he might hear Us sing to him, at his return. I've braided many a lovely flower, His dear, dear picture to inwreathe. While doating fancy, hour by hour, Has made it smile and seen it breathe. I wonder if the flight of time, Has made the likeness now, untrue; . And if the sea of foreign clime, Has touched him with a darker hue. For I have watch'd until the sun Has made my longing vision dim, But cannot catch a glimpse of one Among the crowd that looks like him. How slow the heavy moments waste, While thus he stays I where, where is he 7 My heart leaps forth haste, brother! haste ! It leaps to meet and welcome thee! rThou lovely one ! the mournful tale That tells (Why he comes not, will make Thy heart to bleed thy cheek look pale ! Death finds no tie too strong to break ! ! 1 - 1 The bird will wait his master long, And ask his morning gift in vain ! Ye both must now forget the song Of joy, for sorrow's plaintive strain. a Has wreathed with flowers, is changed! but sea, TCor sun, nor air of foriegn land Has wrought the change, for where is he 7 ' Where 7 ah! the solemn deep, that took His form, as with their sad farewell His brethren gave the. last, last look, . And lower'd him down that deep must tell 1 c But ocean cannot tell the whole The part that death can never chill, 1!Vor floods dissolve the living soul, Is happy, bright and blooming still. ' And nobler songs than e'er can sound From mortal voices, greet his ear ; Where sweeter, fairer flowers are found, Than all he left to wither here. ; This, this is why he does not come, Whom thy fond eye has sought so long! Wait till thy days have fill'd their sum ; Then find him in an angel throng!' THE CAPTURED INDIAMAN We copy from Blackwood's Magazine for April, the following narrative of the horrible atrocities said to have been perpetrated on board a West Indianman, which' although under con voy, had been surprised and taken by the crew of a privateer schooner. A line-of-baltle ship led and two frigates and three sloops were stationed on the out-skirts of the fleet. On this evening, (we had by this time pro gressed into the trades, and were within three hundred miles of Barbadoes,) the sun had set bright and clear, after a most beautiful day, and we bowling along fighwbefore it; but there was no moon, and although the stars sparkled brilliantly, yet it was dark, and as we were the steinmost of the men-of-war, we had the task of whipping-iu the sluggards. It was my watch on deck. A gun from the Commodore, who showed a number of lights. "What is that Mr. Kennedy?" said the captain to the old gunner. "The Commodore has made the night signal for the sternmost ships to make more sail and close, sir." We repeated the signal, and stood on hailing the dullest of the jnerchantrhen, in the neighborhood to make more sail, and firing a musket shot now and then over the more distant of them. By and by we saw a large West Indiaman suddenly -haul her wind, and stand across our bows. "Forward there," sung out Mr. Splinter, "stand by to fire ashot at that fellow from the linnt crun if lie does not bear un. What nn ha be after? Sergeant Armstrong," toa marine, who was standing close by, in the waist, 44 get a musket, and fire over him." It was dene, and the ship immediately borne upon her course again; we now ranged along side of him on his larboard quarter. "Ho, the ship a hoy !' " Hillo !" was the reply. "Make more sail, sir and run into the body of the fleet, or I shall fire into you; why don'tyoukeepinthe wake of the Commodore ?" No answer. " What meant you by hauling your wind just, now., sir "Yesh,Yesl.," at length responded a voice from the merchantman. "Something wrong here," said Mr Splinter. -Back your maintopsail, sir, and hoist a light at the peak; I shall send a boat on board of you. Boatswain's mate pipe away the crew of the jolly boat?' We also backed our main topsail, and were in the act of lowering down our boat, when the officer rattled out "keep all last, with the boat; I cant comprehend that chap s manuiuvres for the soul of me. He has no hove-to " Once more we were within ps ol-sho of him. Why dont vou heave to, sir? . All silent. Presently we could perceive a confusion and a noise of struggling on board, and angry voi ces, as if people were trying to far up to the hatchways frombelow ; aheavv thump- inre nnnn df?ck. and a ernlcinf f .l! ,i . & me D locks and. rattling of the cordage, while the mainyard was first braced one way and then another as If two parties wero striving for the mastery , , . length a voice hailed distinctly, " We are captured by a . A sudden sharp cry, and splash overboard told of some fearful deed. "We are taken by a privateer, or pirate, sung out another voice. This was followed by heavy crunching blow, as when the spike of a butcher s axe is driven through a bullock's forhead deep into the brain. By this time the captain was on deck, all hands had been called, and the word had been passed to clear away two of the foremost car ronades on the starboard side,and to load them with grape. "On board there get below, all yon of the English crew, as I shall fire with grape." The hint was now taken. The ship at length came to the wind we rounded to, under her lee and an armed boat, with Mr. lreenan, ana myself, and sixteen men, with cutlasses, were sent on board. We iumped on deck, and at the gangway Mr. Treenail stumbled and fell over the dead body of a man, no doubt the one who hailed last, with his scull cloven to the eyes, and broken cutlass blade sticking in the gash. We were immediately accosted by the mate, who was lashed down to a ringbolt close by the bits, with his hands tied at the wrists by sharp cords so tightly, that the blood was spout ing from beneath his nails. "We have been surprised by a privateer schooner, sir, the lieutenant of her, and twelve men, are now in the cabin." "Where are the rest of the crew?" " All secured in the forecastle, except the sec ond mate and boatswain, the men who hailed you just now; the last was knocked on the head and the former was stabbed and thrown overboard." By this time the lieutenant had descended to the cabin followed by his people, while the merchant crew once more took charge of the ship, crowding sail into the body of the fleet. CAUSES OE LONGEVITY. In a very interesting paper published by Rush in his Medical Observations and Inqui ries, we have a detail of the Doctor's Experi ence in regard to those causes which favour the prolongation of life. 1. Descent from long lived ancestors. Dr. Rush never met with a single instance of a person who had lived to be 80 years old, whose ancestors hadnotbeen remarkable for their lon gevity. In some instances the longevity was on the side of the father, in others on that of the mother, but most generally it was com mon to both parents. The knowledge of this fact may serve not only in calculating what are termed the chances of life, but it may be useful to the physician. He may learn from it to cherish the hopes of hi3 patients in chronic and some accute diseases, in proportion to the capacity of life they have derived from their ancestors. Temperance in Eating and Drinking. To this Dr. Rush found a few exceptions. He met with one man84yearsof age, who had been intemperate in eating ; and four or five others who had been intemperate in the use of ardent spirits. They had all been day-labourers, and had not commenced drinking until they began to feel the languor of old asre. The Doctor was inclined to the opinion that tea and coffee, notwithstanding they evidently impair the strength of the system, do not materially affect the duration of human life. The duration of life is not always shortened by an infirm con stitution, provided the stimuli which operate upon the several organs be proportionate to their excitability. 3. The moderate use of the understanding. It has been an established truth, that literary men, other circumstances being equal, are longer lived than other people. But it is not neces sary, remarks Dr. Rush, that the understanding shouldbe employed upon philosophical sub jects to produce this influence lipon the dura tion of life. Business, politics and religion which are the ojects of attention common to men of all classes, impart an activity to the mind, which tends very much to produce health and long life. 4 Equanimity of Temper.- The violent and irregular action ot the passions tends to wear away the springs of life. Persons who live 0 U upon annuities in Europe, have been observed to be longer Jived under equal circumstances than other people. This is probablyowing to their being exempted, by the certainty of their subsistence, from those fears of want, which so frequently distract the minds and thereby weaken the bodies of persons who are subject to them. Life rents have been supposed to have the same influence in prolonging lfe. Perhaps the desire of life, in order to enjoy as long as possible that property which cannot be enjoyed a second time by a child or relation, may belan"ther causP,of th.e longevity of per- sons who live upon certain incomes. It is a fct, that the desire of life is a powerful stim ulus in prolonging it, especially when that de sire is supported by hope. This is obvious to physicians every day. Despair of recovery is the beginning of death in all diseases. 5. Matrimonii. Iri th r.rmrsp of his inaui- nes, Dr. Rush only met with one person beyond 80 years of age who had never been married. 9. Sedentary Occupations. Dr. Rush did not find sedentary employments to prevent L "?'"!! "ere Cy ere "ot accompaniea L"f "V"d..mkmB- Th,S long life, where they were not accompanied wwow -"viuii o uufc cuxumea 10 nierary men, nor to women only, in whom lnncrpritv wkhnnt much exercise of body, has been frequently ob served. I he Doctor merwith an instance of a weaver, a second of a silversmith, and a-third of a shoemaker, among: the number of old ner- sons whose histories suggested the foregoing obser ations. 5. Loss of the Teeth, c. The early loss of the teeth did not appear to the Doctor "to affect the duration of human life so much as niightbe expected. Edward Drinker, who lived to be 103, lost his teeth thirty years before he died, from drawing the hot smoke of tobacco into his mouth through a short pipe. Neither did he observe baldness or ffray hairs occurrinjr in Irlvrkr mWtrllp lif a to nrevent old acre. In an u w I " ! account furnisned by Le Sayre, mention is !meo a lnan f80 whose hair began to as- sume a silver color when he was only eleven ' years old. Journal of Health.

' TTN the late conflagration of the Treasury JJ building, nearly all the correspondence of the Secretary of the Treasury, from the estab lishment of the Department to the 31stMarch, 1833, was destroyed including, as well the original letters and communications addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury, as the records of the letters and communications written by him. With a view to repair tbe loss as far as maybe practicable, all officers of the United States, are requested to cause copies to be pre-' pared, and authenticated by them, of any let ters (excepting those hereinafter alluded to, which they may at any time have written to) or received from, the Secretary of the Treasu ry ; and all those who have been in office, and other individuals throughout the United States, are invited to do the same.
