THE PILGRIMAGE OF LIFE. 

 How blest the pilgrim who in trouble 



Can lean upon a bosom friend ; 

 Strength, couragre, hope with him redouble, 



When foes assail or griefs impend. 

 Care flies before his footsteps, straying 



At daybreak o'er the purple heath. 

 He plucks the wild flow'rs round him playing. 



And binds their beauties in a wreath. 



More dear to him the fields and mountains, 



When with his friend abroad he roves. 

 Rests in the shade near sunny fountains. 



Or talks by moonlight near the groves ; 

 For him the vine expands its clusters, 



Spring wakes for him her woodland choir j 

 Yea, though the storm of winter blusters, 



'Tis summer by his ev'ning fire. 



In good old age serenely dying, 



When all he lov'd forsak* s his view, 

 Stveet is Affection's voice replying, 



" 1 follow soon," to his " adieu :" 

 ya.y, then though earthly ties are riven. 



The spirit's uuion will not end. 

 Happy the man, whom Heaven hath given 



In life and death a faithful friend. 



The following description of the beautiful summer re- 

 sidence of Gen. U'WoLF at Bristol, R. 1. and re- 

 flections upon the fate of King Philip, arc from the 

 pen of an English tourist:

The death of Philip, in retrospect makes dif- 

 ferent impressions on the Americans from what 

 were made at the time of the event. It was 

 then considered as the extinction of an impla- 

 cable enemy : it is now loolied upon as the fall 

 of a great vvarrior, a penetrating statesman, and 

 a mighty prince. — It then excited universal joy 

 and congratulation, as a prelude to the close of 

 a merciless war ; it now awakens sober reflec- 

 tions on the instability of empire, the sorrowful 

 destiny of this aboriginal race, and the mysteri- 

 ous ways of Providence. The patriotism of liie 

 man was then overlooked in the cruelty of the 

 savage; and little allowance v.as made for the 

 natural jealousy of the sovereign, on acceunt ot 

 the barbarities of the warrior, Philip, in ihe 

 progress of the English Settlements, foresaw the 

 loss of his territory, and the extinction of his 

 tribe, and made some- mighty efforts to prevent 

 those calamities. 



Jtncient Manners in England. — Dr Cogan in 

 his " Haven of Uealtb*' states that the " usual 

 time of dinner in the University of Oxford was, 

 in 1570, about dcven of the clockc before 7wone,

activity, rendered him an object of dread to Ihe 

 settlers. A reward was offered for his head, 

 and Philip had' many hair-breailth escapes. — 

 One lime when Cnptain Church was puisuinsf 

 him, he and his company came to Taunton River 

 near Bridgewaler, where they silently approach- 

 ed the great tree, which Ihe Indians had felled 

 across the river. The Capt^iin sjiied an Indian

 presented his gim, when one of his own Indians 

 hastily called to him, " It is a friend."' On hear- 

 ing his voice, the Indian upon Ihe stump look- 

 ed up, when the other knew it was Philip and 

 instantly fired. Bui it was too lite ; for Phlbp 

 sprang from the stump, leapcil dow!> the bank 

 on the side of li.e river, and made his escape.

 asked OLe.iry, " Because, in that case, you 

 would have the keys of heaven, and would let

 Montaigne found a very agreeable playmate in
