TIME AM) BEAUTY,
riuthi ess Time, wlm waits for sic. mar.,
Bui with scythe, and wings, and glass,
lit1"- in wait for youth a ml woman.
Saw one morning Beauty pass.
O cr the llowcisslte hounded lightly,
Smiling ns a summci'sday;
i intc, who marked her eyes beam brightly,
Chose the fair 0119 for his picy.
“Maid, ’ he rudely cried,“good morrow !
Kiinwv&t thou not what lights am inin*:
Beauty lis my wont to borrow;
And l come to gather thine.**
"i’ll not yield it,* cried she boldly;
“Monster, do not draw so nigh.'*
“Come with me,’’ In- answered coldly
“Co w ith tlieel * sai l she, “not 1.”
Time his scythe extended o'er her,
Threatening with hi, withered hand:
And his hour-glass shook befoie her,
Pointing to the running vaud.
Biit the maiden all intrepid,
Answered, laughing c irelessh ,
t'l am young, and thou dcciopid,
\\ hat hast thou to do >»i;!i me."
rime replied, with purpose steady,
**VV 1 inkles I must lend thy blow."
Beauty ctii d, “I m not jet ic.t ly,"
Flying, ciied, “not ready now."
Time pursued, with will -.•shaken:
Beauty fled with rapid feet.
Yet was soon well mgii o’ertaken,
For the old tiitui' wings arc fleet.
But the maiden, nothing fearful,
Calls cni W ij lom, power divine;
AVjstltnn cisites, with aspect ebeeil'nl.
Leads her to her ancient Slnii.c.
There her rye all passion loses,
But with rensou siiincs sen in ;
T1 util its sober « harms diffuses
(iently o’er her suite tied irein.
Thought restrain, hrr ymithful wildne-r?;
•Calmness holy hopes bestow ;
On her face love j-titled to mildness
Blends its light with virtue's glow.
rimr saw heavenly graces cluster.
Left oYtftwed iris will undone;
Beauty smili d in angel lo.-tie;
Time was vanquished; Beauty won.
LOVE'S LANGUAGE.
There** a language that'* mute, there's a silence that speak*,
There is something that cannot bo told;
There tin; uoids that > an only he read in the checks,
And thoughts hot the eys-can unfold.
.There's a look so expressive, so timid, so kind,
S< ci nscicus. so quick to impait;
Though dumb, in an itm.ut it speaks out tl •* mind,
And strikes in an instant the (wait.
This eloquent silence, this cor.vcr-e ' f stul,
In vain no attempt to supples-;
.More prompt it npp. ais liom the wish in cci troul,
More opt tin* loud tiuili to exp:ess.
And oh the ih lights in the features that shine,
Thu rapltucs the bo-om that melt,
Wh. o blest with each other, this converse divine,
Is mutually spoken and felt.

THE CHOICE.
Tiow take thy choice, thou maiden fair,
Ol iht* d!i ; thy Invent bring;
I he one it i* h*oaghi ih.-e jewels rare,
I'ho other llowers of fining.
Tin? maiden saw the rohirs g 1 c--t-,
And wreathed them in her hah;
But heavy they pressed upon iter brow,
Lika the weight of secret caie.
'i he gems hint hound her forehead hod:,
Might have lighted a diaden ;
Yet pale g e.w her cheek and dim her i ye_,
lift he a 11 was not with linm.;
And over an inward pulse would .tir.
When she saw a qniog thuvoi wave;
Eut never again did they bloom for her,
'I it! tin y bloom'd upon her grave.
TShe was leune to her gyve, witlt purple pall,
A ml scutclu-an, and waving plume;
One followM — the saddest one of .til—
And tir*- ■ flowers over her tnmb.

Port au Pnnce papers to the 27th of November have
been received at Philadelphia. The Telegraph. Ihc
official pa^mr ef the Jslawd, speaks in terms of contempt
>ftlic assertion made in (lie Paris t'toile that the Hay -1
liens received the ordonnaucc of the King of Fi ance ;
with respect and gratitude.
1 he ordonnanco in question, from its singular cha
ractcr, attracted so much attention both iu Kuronc and
America, that the manner iu which the I layticns receive
the interpretation put on it by the French Ministry,
cannot be uninteresting. We conclude u ith the follow
ing extract from the Telegraph, which will probably I
be considered as throwing more light on the subject
Ilian any thing that has yet been otfered.
“In the last days of July, Monsieur the IJaron de
Maekau, arrived, bringing a Koyal Ordonnanco in
which the full and entire independence of our govern
ment n as proclaimed. The form of this ordonnanco,
ll>c sitigulai ity of its expressions, did not escape the at
tention of the Commissioners whom the President of
liaxti had appointed to coufci with i\f. de Maekau._So
they were unanimously of opinion that it was noccs
1 rury to reject the ordonnaucc of which this ollicer was
; the bearer. This opinion could not tint be that of the
President of ilayti, jealous of the honor of Ins nation,
| and ready to bury himself under the ruins of Ins country
1 rather than see his country debased. The chief of the
i state, directed, from that time, the conferences to be
I biokcn off, and caused it to be said to the IJaron dc
Maekau that be might depart.
: “ r.iis l reach officer, endowed with acharactrr ernin*
i cully conciliating and with a loyalty too tare in our
days in diplomacy, solicited from the President of H.iyfi
the favour of an an lienee. It ms granted. \1. de
Maekau employed all (he resources <>l in . eloquence to
do away the prcpiwsessions which the chief of Ilayti
had conceived against the form and letter of the Ko> al
Oidnnnauce. Tins was in vain, and the invincible dia
lectics ot Uic PicsiJeut victoriously coinhattetl iho rea
; filings ol the French negotiator. Vanquished and

m«.t splendid—the most gallant—of all the Nobles of the
L'oeit of Louis XVI; but, at last, lie gave up his style of
magnificence, and was seen ill-dressed and ill-appointed,
affecting the simplicity of a peasant of the Danube, t rc
Lotiect, one day, (says M. Sscrn,) he came in me in the
morning in his cynic costume; but with his countenance
lighted up with pleasure. “And what is the . ause," I nak
ed him, “of this unaccustomed gootl humor ” “My fiienri,"
If answer,:tl,“l am the happiest of men—I am at'last com
pletely ruinedl'’ “On my word,'* l said, “this is a strange
*'uX p| h ippiness; and one which might incline n man ra
ther to hang hi ms, If.” “You ate wrong, my dear friend,"
was his nnswri; “so long us 1 was only endiarrussud, I was
overwhelmed with discomfort—persecuted, heat, „ to and
