Miscellaneous; THE THINGS THAT CHANGE. Know'st thou that the seas are sweeping Where domes and towers have been? When the clear wave is sleeping, Those piles may yet be seen; rar down below the grassy tide, Plan's dwellings where his voice hath died! Know'st thou that flocks are feeding Above the tombs of old, Which kings, their armies leading, Have linger'd to behold? A short smooth greensward o'er them spread, Is all that marks where heroes bled. Know'st thou that now the token Of cities once renown'd, Is but some pillar broken, With grass and wall-flowers crown'd; WJhile the lone serpant rears her young Where the triumphant lyre hath rung? Well, well I know the story Of ages pass'd away, And the mournful wrecks that glory Hath left to dull decay; But thou hast yet a tale to learn, More full of warnings, sad and stern. Thy pensive eye but ranges Through ruin'd fane and hail Oh! the deep soul hath changes More sorrowful than all! Talk not, while these before thee throng Of silence in the place of song. See scorn, where love hath perishM, Distrust, where friendship grew; Pride, where once nature cherish'd All tender thoughts and true; And shadows of oblivion thrown O'er every trace of idols gone. Grieve not for tombs far-scatter'd, For temples prostrate laid; In thine own heart lie scatter'd The altars it had made! Go, sound its depths in doubt and fear ileap up no more its treasures here! millions of pounds, but that in j Mrs. D. Woiuble, three years it had increased to se-; venty-six millions ot pounds; and that, in three years more, it is ex pected to be equal to what is now raised and exported, put together! Oregon River. Mr. Floyd, in his speech on the occupation of this river, states that the popula tion has spread westwardly at the average rate of ten miles a year. From a statement he had, the A merican interest in the Pacific ocean was worth eight millions of dollars at least. The natural ad vantages of the Oregon, he says, are great. In salubrity, and in fertility of soil, it equals Virginia; and its occupation will not extend the frontier, because the part in tended to be added, is by nature almost impenetrable. He thinks the necessary cannon can be transported to the Oregon for less than 87,000. An accomplished villain. A man calling himself Col. James Makelieur, is advertised in the last Cape Fear Recorder, as an imposter and swindler. About the 1st November he arrived in Wilmington, and passed himself; off for an agent of the Buenos! Ayrcan government, purchasing! flour. On the night of the 28th j of that month, he was knocked down and robbed, as he pretended j of 8350 and a gold watcli and! chain, though there is now no I doubt that his story was altogoth- j er false. After recovering from ' the wounds which he had indicted ! on himself, he went to Charles ton, and there sold a mulatto man, (whom he pretended to have bought of Col. Simmons, of Hali fax, N. C.) for 8350. It turns out that the man is free; and in the mean time the Col. has tukeri himself oil. The following de scription of him may lead to his apprehension: Cof. Makcnlieur is about 6 feet 1 inch high, fair complexion, light hair, walks e rect, and is very retiring in his manners, appears to like every body, and particularly the manners of the Americans: talks of Hnli- var, and shews wounds that he says he received at the battle of Montevideo; can speak good or bad English, French, Italian, or Spanish." FrtycMcciZc Obs. Sugar. It appears from a late Debate in Congress on increasing the drawback on refined Sugar of domestic manufacture, that the whole importation of Sugar into this Country is fifty-five millions of pounds; that in the year 1824, the quantity of Sugar raised in this Country did not exceed forty Centrcrillc, (Md.) Dec. 20.- A very interesting scene was exhibited in the Methodist Church in Centrevillc, on Sabbath day last. Some of the old and con script fathers of Methodism in these parts, determining on a se cession from the Church as at present established, explained their reasons therefor &, in solemn order signed their withdrawals at the altar. The scene was an af fecting one and drew tears from the eyes of many. It is supposed that the number of reformers that formerly worsh ipped in the Meeting House in Centrevillc amounted to 70 or 00. The whole number in societv, em bracing both parties, is about 130.
