lion ol his reason and character, would bem many respects a type of the present age.The records of earljr society are vague andfragmentary as our recollections of childishfeeling and adrenture. But when we etourselves diligently to recall the images ofruug cAit:uce, one iaea evokes another;s they multiply, their sequence in time be-

comes apparent; and if the assistance ofcompanions of the days sought to be re-called is at hand, the Past gradually dawnsagain with a vivid reality which could hard-ly have been looked for. So with the youthof the world. Since historians and archapol.ogists have set themselves with system anuin earnest to pore upon the vanishing im.prcssions oi tne past, images already famil-iar have begun to stand out more distinctlyand monumental records long blurred andobscured have been brought brieb l.iPalimpsests have given us long lost treatisesof Roman law, and Cicero's constitutionalhistory of Rome has beCn restored. From"ll a ramia tne ashes ot Vompeii, the sands oftgypt, the calcareous incrustations of AsiaMinor, and the mounds of Babylon, livelycuumerieiis t almost forgotten ages havebeen recovered. These discoveries havenot been, accidental. Desultorily have theyuuea oeen made and followed, and mnalcrudely commented upon; but it was theindications of speculative archaeologists thatset men upon their traces. The old world is

Its records are.not so thoroughly obliterated as men imagined; itsmonuments are being dragged from the rub-bish with which they were surrounded; fairattempts are being made to unfold the senseof lost and recovered written languages, andto increase the store of writings in those oldtongues which have always been preservedThe progress of in Asia Minorhas of late years beea particularly rapid.The first important contribution was CaptainBeaufort's admirabln survey of the Coast ofCaramania. 1Tie ground work of a systematic geography of Asia Minor may be saidto have been laid by Col. Leake's Map andNotes of a 1 our published in ls21. Sincethat time a busy and intelligent band of explorers have rectified almost every part ofthe map which Col. .Leake s ingenuity hadpieced together from imperfect and oftenapochryphal materials. Messrs. Arundel,Ainsworth, Hamilton, and other English andcontinental men of science and letters havecrossed the interior in all directions; meas-uring heights and distances, copying inscrip-tions, designing monuments, and notingthe structure of the solid earth and its pro-

ductions.The Beacon has surveyed the coasts;

while, connected with her operations, or asindependent volunteers, Cockerell, Daniell,Forchhammcr, Fellowes, Forbes, and Spratt,have investigated the geology and history ofthe coast regions, and explored the ruinswhich so thickiy stud them. The time hasalmost come whea a critical review of thephysical eeoiraphy and ancient remains ofAsia Minor will throw new light on the clas-sical historians, and form an era whenceshall be dated a livelier and more intimateknowledge of the fates and fortunes of theearly occupants of that region. And amongthose whose labors have prepared the wayfor the accomplishment of such a task, YonHammer, with bis researches in Turkishhistory, must not be overlooked.

The authors of the volumes now beforeus speak ' with a graceful modesty of whatthey have accomplished. In conjunctionwith the late Mr. Daniell, they had planneda complete account of the region they haveexplored.

Mr. Daniell was to take charge of theantiquities, Mr. 1" orbes ot the natural his-

tory, Lietenant Spratt of the geography andthe construction of a detailed map. UponMr. Daniell was to have devolved mainly thetask of completing the artistical arrangement of their common materials; but hisdeath, the consequence of over-zealo- us

exertions in his antiquarian researches, in agreat measure frustrated the accomplish-ment of the plan. His direct contributionsincorporated with the work are sketchy andfragmentary; and his associates, thoughable and accomplished gentlemen, lack thetone of imaginative entnusiasm wnica imparted vitality to Mr. Daniell's writings aswell as to his drawings, as well as the inti

mate classical knowledge which so well

fitted him for the antiquarian part ot theundertaking. Still a part of his mantle hasfallen upon them.

They had explored the country along with

him, and thought and conversed upon tneobjects they had observed, until on most

points their thoughts were in common, inaddition to this, Mr. Forbes's notices of thenatural historv of the district contain much

that is new and important; and Mr. Spratt 'smap of the country from the Uult ot Mannto Adalia, and from the shore to the main

ridge of Taurus, is a contribution to thedetailed topographical knowledge of AsiaMinor, unequalled, perhaps, except by that

of the region of old Troy published some

time ago in the Geographical Society's Jour-

nal, with Mr. Forchhamcner's comments, or(on a smaller scale) tne painstaaing aurveysof Mr. William Hamilton.

The authors, though chiefly engrossedwith their literary and scientific researches,

at times condescend to notice incidents which

interest the general reader. Here is aRembrandt-lik- e sketch of a Turkish Agha:

We found the Agha surrounaea oj on. .

officers and the ewers oi im? vmagc,small and warm inner apartment, ao aara,

that coming io from the bngnt sunsnine, uwas some time before we could distinguish

anybody, at d we had to grope our way, with

outspread arms, to some cushions forming.the divan. Be I ore tne cni w v- -5

containing a pet decoy pannage, u "and heldcackledlarge for its dwelling. It

its tongue at its master's bidding; but, be

coming troublesome, was effectually silencedoy tne casting of a cloth over its prison,1 he Agha was a corpulent but handsomemiddle-age- d man, suffering from asthma andopmnaimia; and hence sating with half--closed shutters, and his back to the lightHe was attired in neb robes of purple andcrown trimmed with fur, and wore a tarboosh with an enormous blue tassel, andparty-color- ed handkerchief twined round itlhe tew thin rays of sunny light, streamingfrom the high and half closed window, fellon the picturesque figures of the Agha andhis friends, with an effect which needed onlyIO ue transferreri In rnnvna to nrruiueo ni "masterpiece ol Kerobrandt."

A picture with more figures and bustle init is tlie sketch of the Papas of St. Nicoloand his congregation:

"Fellow companions with ourselves in themonastery were a Greek merchant and hisfamily, from Almalce, and a tinker. Thelatter seemed to have plenty of occupationin resoldering and mending all the old cop-per kettles of the neighborhood. The former united the three objects of a pilgrimageto the shrine of St. Ficolo, recreation forhimself and family near the sea coast, anddoing a little business at the same timeThe Papas also does considerable businessas a corn-deale- r, and owns about a dozenwooden granaries, that stand on stone pedes-tals on the outside of the monastery, marking him as a man of wealth in this countryGood natured and shrewsV, with no more ed-

ucation than the little required for the performance of church duties, he evidently heldthe good opinion and regard of the Turkishpeasantry in tne neighborhood, a party otwhom generally joined him to smoke theirevening pipe in front of the monastery. Therevenues of the church doubtless added con-siderably to his coffers. His beinr a merchant brought those to it who were the mostlikely to add to his store ; for no Greek sailor could visit the shrine of St. Nicolo without offering a donation to secure the protection ot bis patron saint, and ensure prosperity curing the forthcoming voyage, t ollow-ing the example of others, we each put tenpaistres in the hand of tbe priest, as a donation to the' church. Our surigees. Nicoloand Georgio, did tbe same; but Pagniotti,who was no way well-dispos-

ed toward theclergy, thought the money better lodged inhis own pocket than with

.parson or church.

) .a aana gave notmng. At sunset we were invited to the evening service. Bells beingforbidden by the Turks, a dull monotonoussound was produced by a little boy hammering for a few moments at a long plank, suspended lree by a cord from a corner of thechurch. A piece of iron is, however, moregenerally used throughout Turkey, althoughoom wooa ana iron instruments are sometimes suspended in the same monastery fortnis purpose. We joined a small congregation of about fifteen men, women and chitdrcn. Guided by the priest's wife, we descended two or three steps into a dark vaulted building, very poorly decorated andpainted, not in keeping with the importanceand veneration attached to the spot by thetsreeks. I he portrait of the saint stoodnearly in the centre on a rough pedestal ofmasonry. Un one side of it was a tray ofsmall wax tapers, and on tbe other a similarplate for the sums deposited by those who,as a particular act oi devotion, burnt oneduring service. When a votive taper waslighted, the offerer stuck it on a stand placedfor the purpose behind the picture, facinstne congregation, or western end of thechurch. All who went after us went throucha aeriea oi. -prostrations. in iront ot tne pic--

.lure, kissing the pavement each time in themanner of the Turks. After the prostra-tions the picture was approached, and repeatedly kissed before the devotee took hisplace with the rest of the congregation tojoin in the service then going on. It lastedabout a quarter of an hour. As we hadstood mute spectators during its performance without joining in the mummery ofcrossing ourselves and kissing tbe saint, nota little disgusted at the careless and indif-ferent manner it was gabbled through, andthe haste in which the priest threw off hisvest before he had quite concluded his benediction, he inquired of our servants if wewere Christians, somewhat doubtinrr the- afact from our telling him we did not understand the ceremonies and forms used by hischurch.

There is indeed a "rich variety of many- -coloured" life in the provinces. The rulers,generally lurks from Constantinople, with atinge of modern liberalism, the U rooks, theprimitive dwellers in tents of Turkish race.the provincial Turks of the villages and yail--ahs, the adroit cunning Greeks, are allmarked by distinctive characters. Shuffledtogether, they do not assimilate! And here,too, as everywhere, the gipsy is found retaining the peculiarities of his caste and favourite avocations :

" The gipsies abound in this neighbourhood, and plagued us when working amongthe toombs ; the women unceasingly askingfor money. Some of the girls were pretty,and there is a grace and air about the Ching-une-e

women, which the Turkish and Urookfemales cannot boast of. Some had tambourines, and others sang the wild airs oftheir tribe. They dress in the fashion ofTurkish women, but do not veil the face. Awhite scarf is twisted round the head, andpartly covers the chin; and tbe body-sha- wl

is usually particoloured, bright green andbright red.

"The men are cattle-dealer- s, and tinkers,and though dressed as Turks, are easily distinguished by their countenances and livelymanner, not the busy liveliness of the Greek,but the wild gaiety of the Zingan.

The charms of these graceful creatures,however, appear to be merely external; forat a subsequent page we read : " Cross-ing the bridge, a party ofChingunee women,returning from a wedding, attempted toblock up the way, demanding money, and onour refusal, deafened us with a volley oftheirLycian Billingsgate.

Our authors found the Lhimsra most effectually disarmed of its terrors :

" Not far from the Deliktash, on the sideof a mountain, Capt. Beaufort discovered theyanar or perpetual fire, famous as the Chim- -a?ra of many ancient-author- s. V e found itas brilliant as when he visited it, and alsosomewhat increased; for besides the largename in tne corner oi the ruins described byhim, there were small jets issuing from cre-vices in the sides of a crater-lik-e cavity, fiveor six feet deep. At the bottom ofthis was ashallow puddle of sulphureous and turbid wa- -

.a a a .1 m ater, regaraea oy tne i urns as a sovereignremedy for all skin diseases. We met heretwo old Turks attended by two black slaves,who had come from a distance to procuresome of the soot deposited from the flames,valued as efficacious in the cure of sore eyelids, and also a dye for the eyebrows. Theyhad been enjoying themselves by this ancientfireside for two days, cooking their mealsand boiling their coffee on the flames ofChimaera."

The estimate formed of the Turkish character by the travellers is decidedly favourable, and deserves to be recorded :

" Through our kind host, who lived inTurkish fashion, we had an opportunity ofcultivating the acquaintance ofseveral oi theTurkish gentlemen of the town. We hadcome from Lycia strongly biassed in favour

..1 rera s a a a

oi tne lurKisn character such as it iswhen seen uncorrupted by the vices of thecapital, and displayed in a race comparatively pure. Mr. Daniell, like most Europeantravellers, had commenced his journey prejudiced against the Mahometan part of thepopulation : he concluded it with the strong-est prepossessions in their favour. The disinterested attentions, frankness, and courtesywe had met with from all ranks from pachato peasant ; the good faith and honesty ofthe Lycian 1 urks, which contrasted strikingly with the clever knavery and selfishness ofthe Greek part of the population; and thegood sense everywhere shown by a peoplewho had scarcely any experience of travellers, and might without blame look upon uswith suspicion as intruders, the more so asthe only Franks they were in the habit ofseeing were reckless, smuggling, dissipatedleech-merchan- ts, call for our warmest acknowledgments, and we should be very ungrateful if we did not thus put them on record. All that Sir Charles Fellows has saidin favour of the Turks ofAsia Minor we canfully bear out. What we saw and, what ismore to the purpose, what Mr. Stanford inn--

f the higher ranks of 1 urks in Rhodes,strengthened the good opinion we had contracted of their nation, and raised considerably our estimation of their intelligence andacquirements; which are certainly quiteequal with, if not superior to, those of mostLevantine Franks, though the latter be cladin European costume and familiar with Eu-ropean customs.

' I hat the good points of the Turkishcharacter, such as it displayed itself to us,lie deeper than in mere external politeness,natural mildness of disposition, and dislike ofexertion, is evident, if we inquire into theprovision made for the instruction of the rising generation among them. In tlie town ofRhodes the Osmanlis have a public library,containing about one thousand volumes, andplaced in a neat building erected for thatpurtiose, founded about fifty years ago byTurbend Agasi Achmet Aga. We had aninterview with the present librarian, lladgiMehemet Effendi, a highly intelligent oldman, at his house, where we found him, buried among manuscripts, like a true book-worm. He took much interest in the account of what we had seen in Lycia, and dis-

coursed according to the learning of the East,on the ancient history of the country, as de-

scribed in volumes around him. To the library under his charge, the students of theMadresh, or higher schools, have access.These students, about one hundred and fiftyin number, are instructed, boarded and lodged out of funds provided from private bequest. There are five other schools lor boys,the teachers of which are paid by the par-ents. The three principal number upwardsof three hundred scholars. There are sixschools for girls, attended by upwards of fivehundred pupils, between tour anrv twelveyears ol age. ine teachers are lemaies,and are paid by the parents. Ihese factsshow how alive our Turkish friends ofRhodesare to the value of instruction for the young.We may question and despise the quality ofeducation given; but the erlort to educate,and the spirit which has led to the endow-

ment of public institutions for free educationmust command our respect and force us toacknowledge the good qualities of the peopleamong whom it is displayed.

The Kisg and the Tbocbador. Everyreader of history knows that King Rene wasfonder of music and poetry than of the artsof war and politics. In the early part ofhis reign, before he became utterly helplessand contemptible by his neglect of affairs ofstate, his Majesty while listening to inemusical voice of his daughter JMargaret,was informed by an officer of his court that

wandering minstrel desired access to hisRoyal presence, in order that he might ex-

hibit his skill in the joyous science. KingRene, at all times too much interested inbve and music, rejoiced that another novelty would regale his ears with some romantic ditty of chivalry and love; ne cominano- -

ed that the wanderer should be welcomed,and his wants provided for, that in the even-

ing he should be permitted to exercise hisskill in the presence of the Royal musicianand his court. The King's commands wereobeyed, and the stranger was hospitablyattended to by the officers of the Royalhousehold. ...

Evenin" came,... and King Rene took hisv .ii- t. i u:.

seat in the hail, wun nis oaugiuer uT u

side; Margaret was not more than seventeen, yet her appearance exniDiiea moremarks of thought than is common in females

of that tender age. The fact was there was

dormant spirit of ambition in tna iaaywhich only needed bringing out. The friv

knights and faithful damsel., abictiwere the joy of her father a heart. Theminstrel entered lhe hall, and was broughtto the footstool of the King. Ha waa a fairhaired youth of twenty, with Itjht blue eyes,and a mild expression of countenance. ToKing Rene's inquiries he answered that bewas from England, and that attracted by thefame of the sovereign before whom he stood,he had wandered thus far in hope of obtain-ing the highest reward to which a mmatrelcould aspire the approbation of KingRene.

The King bade bim exhibit his skill in hisprofession, and promised favor and promo-tion if he proved worthy. The youthfulwanderer obeyed, and sung one of thoseinterminable dittica lo us moderns unknown,and which, if attempted would not belistened to; but at the time of which wespeak, nothing waa more common than lrthe lovrrs of music to listen with patience toa lay of eight hours!

King Rene was delighted with the jroulh'sperformance, and, for a wonder, hia youth-ful daughter exhibited the same pleasure.Tlie theme of his song was, tbat a youthfulKing, disdaining to marry at mere policy orchance directed, wandered from hia nativekingdom to seek a wife, such aa hia youth-ful fancy had pictured: how he at lengthfound a princess of such rare and excellentbeauty that his heart was captivated howin the capacity of a minstrel, thia wandering King wooed and won the daughter ofthe King of France.

The English minstrel was taken into highfavor by King Rene; he remained for weeksat his castle, and, during that lime, hadgained favor in the eyes of Rene'a house-hold, by bis disinterestedness; the King'sprofuse gifts to himself he distributed amonghis officers.

One evening the King was seated in thehall, expecting the appearance of his favor-ite; but he appeared not! The King was interror lest some harm had befallen the youngcngiisnman. ine caatie waa aearcneti; atlast a chamberlain returned in breathlessbaste, and communicated something to theKing, who immediately arose and accompa-nied the chamberlain to the garden of thePalace. In a bower was found the minstrelfast asleep; on a seat by his side waa thePrincess Margaret, anxiously watching him!King Rene was romantic bat not quite sucha fool as to rejoice that a daughter of hisshould love a wandering minstrel.

He awoke the youth, and bitterly reproached his daughter with her unworthyattachment.

The youth remained rilcnt for a while; atlast he spoke, and in the most dignified man-

ner, requested an audience with the Kingin private.

There was something so noble in theyouth's manner that he complied.

Header, the wandering minstrel wasHenry of England!

And the romance of iheir lote may account for the intensity of devotion with whisltthe high-soul- ed Margaret regarded hrRoyal and unfortunate husband, notwithstanding his weakness and follies.

THE POLYNESIAN.HONOLULU, SATURDAY. MARCH 10.

VJ" We are glad to learn that the police

force of Honolulu is likely to be brought on the

carpet before long with a view to effect some

improvement in its organization and usefulness,

How its members have hitherto got along so

well as they have done, is the question in our

mind; for had the same laxity and want of dis-

cipline existed almost any where else, that has

existed here, we imagine the evil would before

this have corrected itself by converting the

guardians of the peace into a nuisance intolera

ble. And perhaps our constables would have

been insufferable by this time had it leen the

practice for individuals to remain in the service

long enough to get well spoilt. But they put on

the jacket and badge of office as supernumera

ries on the stage don their helmets and shields,

and having made their appearances in two ort hree scenes, and begun to wear off the awk-

wardness, tbey divest themselves of their trappings and retire into private life and plain

clothes. Cedv.nl mrma togge,' as the Major

says.

We feel that great praise is due to the Marshal as well as to the various prefects of policew ho have served under him, when we think

how few complaints worthy of being called or

remembered as such, have been made or sup

ported against the Honolulu police. We can

ourselves bear evidence to the extra exertionsand activity which have been required on their

part to counteract the evils of the system or

want of it to which they and their subordinateswere subjected. Can anything be more ridicu

lous for instance, than that men should he com

missioned as constables who are almost utterlyignorant of the localities of the village and theprincipal land-mark- s, insomuch so as hardly toknow which is the large Protestant church in

Kawaiahao and which is the Roman CatholicChapel, in quite a different quarter. And as ageneral thing, before they have bad time to pick

up the necessary information of one kind andanother, which they should possess, tbey makeway for hands as green as they were at first

starting. For the pay and perquisites united,do not amount to more than they could earn in

other ways, and although a night's sleep is anight's sleep, still it is more agreeable to be outof the force and pass the .hours of rest in yourown bouse, than to be in it and slumber in theopen air. Another inconvenience is that theseconstables do not know their suieriors, appoint-

ed as they are by the Governor, at the recom-

mendation of Tom, Dick or Harry, and dismissed sometimes by the same functionary, butmore frequently by themselves. The name ofMr. Sea they are most of them familiar with,but of his person and appearance many a oneknows nothing, and we hope that gentleman will

not be offended at our warning him, lest somenight, when he goes abroad to see that thoseunder him have done their duty, and the streetsare quiet, he should be mistaken for a deserterand lodged in the fort by his own constables.His not being able to speak the native languagemakes such a blunder the more probable.

Our only object in making these few remarks,is to push on, if possible, the alterations whichare called for in the arrangement of the police.The appointment, or at all events, the sole rightof recommendation ought to lie in a differentq uarter. The pay ought to be increased, thediscipline more rigidly exacted, and the differentwatches and different beats more particularlydefined. It is true that burglaries and assaultsare few, but still when you do want a constableit is gratifying to find one.

Rem a axable Explosion or Gas. An ex-

traordinary explosion of inflammable gas oc-

curred in London on the 7th July last, occasion-ing the loss of one or two lives, serious injuryto several other persons, and great destructionof property. The explosion took place in abuilding occupied both as a shop and dwellinghouse. A strong smell of gas had been experi-enced on the premises for several days; and thepipes had been examined without discoveringthe cause. On the night of the explosion, thesmell was observed to be stronger than before.On the night of the 7th of July, after the shopwhere the gas was used, had been sometimeclosed, an inmate of the house bad occasion togo into the shop, and immediately upon the doorbeing opened, the explosion took place. Therewere three persons in the house, two of whom,a man and woman, were blown across the par-

lor back of the shop, through the window intothe garden; the other, a woman, being blowncompletely across the street, striking an ironfence so violently as to break it in several placesand injuring herself so much that death ensuedthe next day. A man who was passing the

street in a cart, was thrown from his vehicle andseverely injured. The house was completelydemolished, chairs, tables and other articles offurniture, as well as bricks, being thrown acrossthe street, and into neighboring houses andehops, even to a distance of two hundred feet.The floorings of the adjoining houses were lift-

ed up the walls shattered to the foundation,and the furniture hurled into the street. Theinmates of several houses opposite were struckby bricks which entered their premises, andgreat numbers of windows were broken. Thehouse where the accident occurred took fire

immediately after the explosion, so that whatwas not instantly destroyed was subsequentlyconsumed. The extent of the injury occasionedby the disaster, as stated in the minute accountsof the London papers, was almost incredible.One hundred houses are said to have been moreor less damaged, and upwards of two thousandsquares of glass broken ! Thirty houses on the

opposite side of the street, and about a dozen

on each side of the scene of the accident, were

shattered considerably. The moment at which

the accident took place was marked by several

clocks in the neighborhood, which were stopped

by .'ie concussion.

XO" The most necessary, talent in a man of

conversation, is a good judgment. He that has

this in perfection is master of his companion,

without letting hi in see it; and has the same

advantage over men of any other qualifica-

tions whatsoever, as one that can aee would

bar over Wind man of ten timet hia

strength.

to the time when the accident on- -progress up" . . . . . t-- -- i , . .

curred, ana sucn extracts ironi ine snip's logand the letters of her commander, as may tendto exhibit the fearful character of the hurricanefrom which she so narrowly escaped.

The Houqua sailed from this port on the 3rdof November last, bound for Shanghae, newlycoppered, with an entire suit of new sails, inexcellent sailing trim.

She crossed the equator in 31 20 W, 23 daysfrom ISew York; passed the Cape of GoodHope in 44 days; St. Paul's in 57 days; andwhen 70 days out was within 900 miles of Sandalwood Island.

On the 15th January, four days afterward,she was overtaken by the hurricane of whichmention has been made. I extract from the log :

This day "commences with moderate breezeand fair weather all sail set before the wind,royal studden sails, fore and main sky sails;throughout the first watch pleasant, with a nineknot breeze from the south west. At 10 f. M.the barometer stood at 29 and everyappearance of a pleasant night. At 2 A. M. theweather thickened up, and a strong breeze blow-ing; hauled in the lee studden sails, skysails,fore and mizzen royals, and lower studden sails,stowed jib, flying jib, and jib-and-j- ib. At halfpast 2 A. M. the barometer had fallenthen standing at 29.5; called all hands, hauled

m a a

in tore and maintop m. stuauen sails, main royal and topgallant sails, double reefed the mainopsail, furled the mainsail, close reefed the

fore topsail and furled it, reefed the foresail,close reefed the mizen topsail and furled it,furled the spanker, and put three reefs in themain topsail and set it, set the reefed foresail.At 4 A. M. we were scudding under a reefedmain topsail and reefed foresail, when the windsuddenly shifted to south, and blew a hurricane;we hauled the foresail up; the top m. staysaila new sail) Mew out of the bolt rope. It was

now impossible to hear yourself sneak. Theship laid over, with her starboard leading trucksin me water; me main topsail oiew to snivers.At about half pnst 4, the fore top-galla- nt mastblew over, breaking off just above the cap; themain topgallant mast soon followed, carryingwith it the cap and part of the main topmasthead. The mizen topgallant mast bent nearlydouble, and broke off at the cap; the strain onthe jib-boo- m and Hying jib-boo- m snapped thecathead short off; soon after flying jib and jib- -boom went overboard. J be larboard quarterboat, which had just been repaired, and wasashed on deck, was knocked to pieces and went

overboard; all the ports on the larboard sidewere washed away. The lee monkey rail wasstove from the after part of the main rigging toten feet forward of the gangway. It now blewso that no one could stand on deck; we had toay flat and hold en. 1 be barometer had sunk

to 27 At 9 A. M. it lulled and she felloff before the wind. The first roll she madetook the starboard quarter boat from the davit.kvery sail but the mainsail had blown from thegaskets and reefs, and we had nothing but barepoles."

Such was th? condition of the ship on Sunday, the 16th of January, when " the hurricanecame on again with ternhc violence, fearingto scud any longer, I lay bcr to under bare poleson the larboard tack, head to the south."

Not to continue the extracts from the log,which is very long, I will state subsequent eventsmore briefly.

The ship having been relieved of her topgal- -ant masts, of which the wreck was cleared

away w the lulls, the Captain says, " 1 nowthought we could stand against any wind thatwould blow; but it was not to be. At 4 P. M.the gusts of wind came down upon us in amanner that it is useless to attempt to describe.1 he sea was blown over us, so that it was almost impossible to breathe. The ports on theweather side looked like so many cannon pour-ing forth their shot, and it was almost as impossible to wnlk before them as it would be beforea gun."

The ship withstood the fury of the tempestfor about ten minutes when she was thrown onher beam end., and her captain failing to secure

hold upon the weather rail, tor which besprung, was thrown into the sea to leeward of

bad given up struggling when a rope glancedbefore my eyes. 1 made another effort andhauled myself up, hand over band, till my headstruck the mizen mast, and I gained a footing onthe weather side ot it."

Mr. Stephens (mate) at this critical juncture.and whilst the captain was overboard, hadgained the weather main rigging and cut thelanyards, causing the mast to go over the sidejust in time to save the ship from foundering.Having righted with six or seven feet of waterin her hold the fallen spars were now underber bottom threatening to stave a hole in it.These left her at 6 P. M. much to the relief ofall on board. The ship was now a completewreck. Boats, cambooe, carpenter's house.tool chest, having been swept away, as well asthe capstan from its spindle.

1 here was no abatement of the fury of thegale till 10 o'clock P. M. when the darkness ofthe night added its gloom to the desolation of thescene. Throughout the night the wind blew afierce gale. "The foremast and foretonmastwere all the masts that were left, and it wasvery uncertain if we should be able to aavethose, for the braces and lifts of the fore topsailyard were gone, and the yard was swinging thewhole length ot the tie to leeward, and comingback with the force of a battering ram carrying away the fore topmast rigging, cutting thefore stays and topmast badly. The fore yardwas also adrift, the lifts and braces were gone,and the yard a cockbill, trusses gone, and theiron bands cutting into tin masts at a fearfulrate. It was useless to attempt to do anything,

for it was as much as we could do to keep ourhold upon the vessel and wait for daylight,By morning the f hip bad been freed from water,the bowling ot the tempest had abated, the human voice could once more be heard, and withmuch risk to the men, the fore yard and foretopsail yard were got upon deck, whilst the shipwas laid to " with a small sail triced up to thelarttoard davit." -

The morning after the blow found this dis-abled ship 4541 miles from Sandalwood Island,1000 miles and more from Batavia and Silicapore, and 3000 miles from Hong Kong. Thesituation of officers and men, with little or nofood for 8b hours, during which they were constantly drenched to the skin, was rendered stillworse by the flood of water which bad pouredinto her cabin and forecastle. By this the captain's chronometers were made useless; and,deprived of these, as of all means of repairingthe damages to his snip, (the careiiter's toolchest being lost) the prospect of getting her toChina was gloomy enough. But a new dangernow menaced the ship, the heat of the boldhaving become intense. By taking off the hatches this was arrested, and on the 14th of Marchthe vessel arrived safely at Hong Kong. 131days from New York (allowing for difference oflime.;

Highb)AKD Dascibg. Miss Sinclair, in oneof her interesting volumes, gives the followinggraphic description of dancing in the Highlandsof Scotland :

" Highland dancing displays incomparableexecution, and requires a rapidity of movementwhich the eye can scarcely follow. One of theperformances would have amused you much, onaccount of the extreme precision and neatnesswhich it required, being quite in the bair breadthst vie.

Two walking sticks are laid on the ground ina horizontal cross, within the four anzles ofwhich a dancer undertakes to perform, withmatchless rapidity, a series of the most intricatesteps, but the instant his foot accidentally touches one ot the sticks, he is obliged to stop. Formerly, two sharp swords supplied the place ofthese inoffensive poles, and they so effectuallydisabled a performer,

.after the slightest faux pas,

s mm

irom continuing toexnioir, mat ne might as wellhave executed his hornpipe among red hotploughshares. The dance sets quicker andquicker, the music inore rapid, and the stepsmore intricate every instant, while the competitor passes with ceaseless activity over the prostrate sticks, springing so lightly across, that bisfeet seem only pointing to the ground, withoutever resting upon it. All that feet can do, theseHighlanders did, and more than I ever saw anvfeet attempt before; but we all looked on in solemn 8ileuce, as if witnessing an execution.Nothing ever looked more like insanity than thereels at last! Four stout bighlanders, in fulldress, raised on a wet slippery wooden platformand dancing in the open air, under a torrent ofrain, cracking their fingers to imitate castanets.shuffling, capering, cutting, whirling round, anduttering the sort of sudden yell, customary hereduring a very animated dance, to encourage thepiper.

In tolerable weather this would have been allvery enlivening, but I felt grieved for the beauti-ful tartans, which crew dim as we looked atthem, and such joyous merriment, under a can-opy of mist, rain, and east wind, seemed quitedelirious. The wives, sisters, and daughters ofthe performers were all anxiously looking onirom Deneatn their cotton umbrellas, with sensa-tions of interest and excitement, such as thegreatest gambler on a race-cour- se might haveenvied, and my chief diversion, arose from

itching their eager countenances, while frequently, in a burst of uncontrollable excitementthey broke through the lines, and advanced within a lew paces of the competitors. At one mo-ment, when the rain poured down with peculiarvehemence, a crowd of dripping wet clansmen.to save their gay tartans, put up a multitude ofumbrellas, and cowered so near our carriage forshelter that we saw nothing of the dancing.My teasing dilemma being observed by one ofthe judges who happened to pass, he obliginglyresolved to befriend me, and railed out to themen in a tone of indignant astonishment, Putdown those umbrellas! Who ever heard beforeof a Highlander with an umbrella!!' Downdropped ever' umbrella on the spot."

A Beautiful Incident. The followingincident is copied from the New York Observer, it occurred in a village of one of the southern counties of the State of New York:

It was a warm Sabbath afternoon, and thedoors of the village church were thrown opento let in the balmy air from the fields without.The congregation had assembled, and while theminister was reading the first hymn, a beautifuldove entered the door and came walking up themain aisle.

Such a visiter drew, of course, universal attention. But as the choir arose to sing, heseemed startled, and, lifting himself on hiswings, alighted on the stove pipe above him,where he sat bending bis glossy neck and turn-ing his head so as to catch the harmony as itswelled through the temple of God. Whetherit was the chorus of voices or the full tonednotes of the organ that captivated him, we cannot tell; but he sat, the perfect picture of earnest attention, till the musie ceased.

Waiting a moment as if to hear the straincommence again, he

.started from his perch and

t ". - t ja a "asauea to tne top oi me organ, where he furledhis pinion and sat and looked down on the audience. The young clergyman arose to pray. Heis distinguished for his earnestness and the fer-vor of nis invocation, and as he stood with hishands around the Bible which lay clasped be-

fore him, humbly beseeching the Father of allgood to send his Holy Spirit down, that beauti-ful bird pitched from its restin place on theorgan, and sailing down on level wing the wholelength or the church, perched on the Bible directly between the bands of the clergyman. Itwas merely a natural occurrence, but how beautiful the picture.

There stood the messenger of God. with facetoward Heaven, pleading for Heaven's blessings

the Bible before him, around which his handswere reverently clasped, while on it stood thatbeautiful and inrocent dove. The three thustogether formed a group full of interest, andsymbolizing all that is dear to man. The Wordof God was before the people, with God'schosen emblem upon it, and God's herald clasping them both as he prayed.

What wonder is it if a superstitious feelingran through the house as the people watchedthat dove the emblem of innocence and purityand the Divine Spirit itself standing on theBible and looking gently down on them. Beautiful bird ! it centered for a time the affections ofall on it; and he who could have injured itthere, would have injured hundreds of hearts atthe same time. The pressure of its tioy feetwas no sacrilege there, for the expression of itssoft eye was innocence and love.

The clergyman, feeling the presence of thebird, and fearing that it might distract the attention of his hearers, gently passed his band overthe Bible. The dove, unstartled. merely hopped over it on the cushion, where it sat till

was ended. It then rose and sailed away,Iirayer times the dove would have been regarded as a spiritual visitant from the unseenworld, sent on a special mission in answer toprayer and awakened feelings of awe andreverence; to us it was only a natural but unu-sual occurrence, awakening simply the sentiment of beauty. It was a new and accidentalfigure introduced suddenly into a beautiful pic-ture, giving greater harmony and perfection towhat we deemed perfect before. There was noreligion in it, but it was full of beauty.

" Let me relate to you a trait of Eugene Sue.who, whilst writing so energetically of the wantsand deprivations of the people, and of equality,ex m oiis in nis own ex penes, an tne extrava-gance and refinements we read of in the declineof empires. Some time ago, before the revolu-tion, he gave a 'dejeuner' to several of hifriends (I have it from one of them.) In ordering it to his maitre d'hofel,' he said to him, I

In the countrythe mean term of the number of children pro-duced by each marriage is four, in towns theproportion is seven for every two marnagea.1 be number of married women is, to the general number of individuals of the sex, as one tothree; and the numlier of married men to thatof all the individuals of the male sex, as threeto five. The number of willows, is to that nfwidower, as three to one; but the number ofwidows who may marry again is, to that ofwidowers in the same case a seven to four.The individuals who inhabit elevated situationive longer than those who reside in less eleva

ted places. The half nf the individuals die be-

fore attaining the age of seventeen years. Thenumber of twins is to that of ordinary births, asI to 5. According to calculations, foundedupon the bills of mortality, one individual onlyin 3126 attaina the age of 100. The numlier ofbirths of the male aex is to that of the femalesex, as 90 to 95.

The Girsics. A society has been formedin England, for the purpose of attempting themoral and religious improvement of the Gipsies.At a meeting of tho society not long since, inBrighton, Rev. Mr. Crsbb addressed ihe meet-

ing, and at which be mentioned some curiousfacts. He said that in England, the origin ofthe Gipsies was enveloped in darkness, but thatit was known that they appeared in Switzerlandin 1418 in Italy, in 1432 and in France in1427 from which country, however, they badalmost entirely fled during the reign nf Napo-

leon, who ordered them all to be taken into thearmy. Mr. Crabb denied their Egyptian origin,and traced them from the Suddbaa in Hindoaian,both in their physical configuration ami dialect,and related as an instance of the latter, thatLord Teignmouth once said in Hindoatanee loa young Gipsey girl, " you are a great thief."The girl replied without a moment's hesitation,"no, sir, I am not a thief, but I live by fortunetelling." Another circumstance in which thereexisted a resemblance, was their fondue fordogs, cats and all kinds of carrion as food;" for," as they said, " 'tis better to eat thatwhich God kills, than what we kill ourselves."

with weak Eves. We find in an old paperthe following course of proceedings recommended to aged people, as the means of enablingthem to preserve their eye-eig- ht, or to recover itafter it has failed:

" Every morning, when washing yourself, dipour face into the water, open your eyea amieep them under water, as long as you can bold

your breath. This strengthens the eye andcleanses it from the rheum which deadens thesight ami considerably affects the ball. A gen-tleman in Maryland, by the name of JaineaCalder, aAer using spectacles for twenty-fiv- e

years, followed this plan, and at the age of 70recovered bis sight so as to see without them.Dipping the crown of the head into cold waterevery morning, both winter and summer is apreservative against the bead aol ear ache, andwill materially assist the other e aerations 10 itseffect upon the eyes."

in the courty of Down, Ireland, liewa named after an uncle settled a a merchantin Philadelphia, to whom be was aeut al the ageof twelve year. Of thiHnre, under whom hewaa tutored in Commercial knowledge, we shallfirM give a !rief notice.

Mr. Alex. Henry, of Philadelphia, waa born inthe north of Ireland, in I7M. He emigrated loAmerica in 171.1, entered upon mercantile Imii-n- e

as a rlerk, and soon afier, in hia own nameand on hia own account, as a merchant. By y(

perseverance, good ability, ho arqairrdan ample property, ami retired front the activemanagement nf hia boiue in 1 . He wamany years a ruling elder of one of tho Prrabv-teria- n

cburcbea in Philadtlphia ; waa a iiimiho-ce- ut

contributor lo uful rbarilirs, to all educa-tional ami other institution dcaigned for the ou

and moral improveioe.it of the populationamidol which he dwell ; and. al the rip old ageof eighty-tw- o, dml on th Mih nf August, Ml7." Hi long life," said th Philadelphia Bulletin.on Ihe day of hia death, " baa been a continuedeierciae of benevolence ; ami ihe aanclily uf abright religion faith ennolde. hi motive, w nih-il gave a w ie direction to hi action."

Mr. Henry, Ihe nephew nf this distinguishedmerchant, wa tutored in hi virtue ami himercantile knowledge, ami ram lo Englandfrom Philadelphia, while still a very young man,ami settled in Manrheatrr, in th ) ear I SO I. ofirst place of bnainesa wa in Palace street. Onfinding hi buine increase, he removed lo pre-mises in Spear street. There Retook his toting,er brother Samuel into partnership, ami the firmIter a me "A. ft. S. Henry." Snhaeqently an-other partner wa admitted, am) the firm became" A. &L S. Henry k Co." which it Mill continuesto lie. In I43J, the larr premise in Portlandstreet were built, ami the Ihmiin-s- ) waa removedthere.

The bouse in leeda, limbic re fie hi, Bradford,Leicester, Nottingham, Glasgow, ami Beft,are each distinct from the other, ami front tbparent establishment in Manchester. Each hapartners no! connected with the other, Mr. II.being ihe connecting and sole head ever all.

On Ihe ISth of January, 1110, ihe free trod)banquet waa celebrated in ihe Pavilion, in Peterstreet, by the Anti-Com-l- aw league. Thiagentleman, who omitted no opnertuoilv of nrn- -niotmg ihe cause of commercial emancipation lyhia kindly rnuntrnaor ami munificent contnlxjHons, was. with Mr. Johnson, one of hia par-tner, present on that nrcastoo. M brother, Mr

amtie Henry, ami the other partner, Mr.Wyd, were abroad, that night, festive inManchester, was on of awful calamity else-wher- e.

The American steamboat Lrmgfow,ailing fmm New York to Providence, took fire.

A number of passengers were on board ; no nfthem was .ilr. amurl lleury, who, with thwhole steamboat's rnmpeny, perished, excepttwo or three individual.

"Among thoa who peri bed," said Hunt's(N. Y.) Merchant's Magaxm ot February,1940, " there was no nne metre generally belovedand respected than Samuel Henry. Kan. nf Manchester, England. In bis business interrourwith his fellow-me- n, rigid, uncompromising integrity marked his rha racier. Nona knew bet-t- er

ihe true requirements of a merchant, or thegenerosity becoming man ; ami throughout hilife he ever maintained the strictest ronaiatencyof high mercantile principle, ami lb most grn-ero- u

lilsrraJitv. During th rowitrtrrtial di-tre- sa,

which alter ted every rlas in la eaxiutrvfor the past tare years, Mr. Henry waa here,yielding relief ami ther are many, in ihia rityami elsewhere, who will lira r testimony of hiaopeo confidence and getterotia forbearaore. whenthey were most needed ami appreciate!. In-deed, in all hia business transaction, there wa afree, honest pmi ; a manly, straightforwardcourse of eoftdisrt, wbieh won th esteem andconfidence of all with whom he eain m coo-tart- ."

This was true of tho junior partner, and iemphatically true of the surviving brother, thebead of lb house. Sorb a donation xjno f,the public parks ; liberal subacriptiona for educa-tion- al

ors and do the household drudgery, at whichtime the productions ot his master, and the paint-ings in the galleries of Rome, awakened withinhim powers, which, until this time, hndslumber-- e

RtAni5c A5D Sttdv. One of the great de-

fects of self-traini- ng at the present day is, thatthere is much more reading than study. Bothof these are indispensable in their proper relations, but neither of them can take lhe place ofthe other. Rending is uecessary to furnish uswith the facts of the present and former ages;it gives us the materials of thought ; it directsour minds, without much effort on our part, intonew and delightful channels, and thus perfectsour taste and forms our style ; and it affords, ata ch'-a- rate, a high and" mental luxury. Butreading is not study. A mau might read a worldof book, and cood liooks too, and yet not possess the shadow of a claim to scholarship. A

trained mind, a thoroughly educated mind, is theproduct only of study. Every person should de-

vote Mime portion of his time to the acquisitionof a definite branch of knowledge, and he shouldset about it with a full purpose to master thesubject ; and he would superinduce those habitsof mental discipline and self-contr- ol that facil-

ity in ciisccutive inquiries, which would pre-

pare him to grap, and analyze, and comprehendother subject. This is a business that everyman mut do for him-et- f. No school or collegecan perform it for him, no learned professor orpublic lecturer can point out any royal road in

these attainments. Hut I must add, that there is

much more light reading at the present day thanolid.

We live in an age of hook-makin- g, and itwould lc but common praise to say that the pro-

ductions of the age are read they are literallydevoured. Rut many of these productions areof a light and trivial character, and successiveones are becoming more so. The popular novels of the day, for example, began witn me" Great Unknown," and they are likely to enrt,if an everlasting thread could bave an end, withtbe writings of every " little well-know- n' ooboth aides of the Atlantic. For these effusions,and those of certain modern baros woo navew hipped the materials of poetry into froth andfoam, the standard English classics io prose andverse must re laid aside, and these mere comets

At this meeting some dif-ference of opinion occurred, and a protest waspresented to the Consul again the malevolentsentiments w hich the signers supjMtsed the edi-tors of the Gazette had expressed towards Franceand the Government recently established.

The Consul adopted the protest as his own,and enclosed it to the Government of Guatemala,w ith the demand that his letter and protestshould be published in the Gazette, in Frenchand Spanish, as the first article in the paper ;and Concluded by saying that it was his firm de-termination not to enter into any correspondence,nor retract from any of the conditions above ex-pressed. Moreover, the Consul intimated thatihe French Republican Government is not dis-posed to act towards foreign governments withthe same moderation as the past governmentshad, an assertion w hich is doubted bv the editorof the Gazette, as be believes that the popularwish of the French is fraternity and moderationwith every nation on the earth, and most espec-ially with the youthful Republics of this Contin-ent. The Guatemala Government have referred the matter to the French Government, andin the meantime the French Consul has hauleddow n his colors and the Consulate arms.

Our dates from Campeachy are to the 17th ofJuly. Un the 13th a command of 200 men ofthe battalion " Lililrtad" left Campeachy underSonor lialedon, for Chenkolli, 6 leagues distant.The march was dalayed by rains and other cau-ses, and before the command reached Cheukolli.the men mutinied and insisted upon returning -

a neir commander leu into a great rage, foamingat the mouth, and swooned. This interestingoperation had no effect upon his chivalrous fol-lowers, who marched straight back to Campea-chy, their officers following at a goodly distance.The brilliant result of this expedition frightenedthe people of Campeachy, and those who hadsought refuge in the vicinity of the town, nowtook refuge within the walls, increasing the dis-tress before felt there.

Hard upon this event the Indians took posses-sion of the bacieddas of Kala and Escalera, onlya league from Campeachy, and burnt them.The flames were distinctly visible from churchtowers oflbe city. The sight struck terror intothe hearts of the affrighted inhabitants. L.veryone was called to arms, and the soldiers took up

I

their positions. The Indians appear to haveadvanced up to the defences of the city, but inno great force, for they dispersed upon receivinga tew discharges of artillery. v e see no men'tion made of the killed and wounded.

On the I3tb an attack was to have been madeupon Bolouchen (in possession of tbe savages)by 700 volunteers. Jiumors began to be received at Campeachy of a fight, and it was said thata sergeant wounded in tbe action had arrivedthere. Tbe result was awaited with breathlessanxietv

As Isterview with Abd-el-Kad- er. TheLiverpool Times has been favored with permis- -

siod to publish the following account of an in-

terview with the captive African chief, Abd-e- l-

Kader. who is still a prisoner in the Castle ofParis :

" Yesterday, who do you think I went andpaid my respects to? Henri Quatre's Castle isnow tenanted by Abd-el-Kad- He is here aprisoner, with a suite of eighty persons, butsuch a tribe of disorderly, unsightly beings!The Count de Montebello asked for a privateaudience for his wife, an English lady, and ourselves, which was granted. On entering thecourtyard, the Castle had the appearance of anencampment of Gipsies, black slaves lyingabout in all directions; and after half an hour'sconversation with Col. Dumas about his unfortunate prisoner, we were taken to his apart-ment, where, seated on a bed, sat Abd-el-Kad-

and never have I seen such a superbly magnificent head and countenance as tbe man has.Bring to yourself one of those beautiful master-pieces of our Saviour, and you have Abd-el-Kad- er

before you.Notwithstanding the ludicrous appearance an

had to us a few minutes before, respect andadmiration made tears of sorrow almost comeinto one's eyes at the sight of such a being aprisoner! Knowing whom we were, ne snooKus cordially by the hand, without rising, aDd

spoke to us through bis interpreter. He seemsin deep grief, but with a fixed idea that he shallhave bis liberty. He was without shoes orstockings, according to the custom of his coun-

try. His eldest child, an interesting little fel-

low nine years old, he desired to take us to seehis wives and daughter. No gentleman, ofcourse, went with us; but, save in the, singular-

ity of their dress and manner, they have nothingattractive about them. He has but one legiti-

mate wife, and has not shown much taste in his

selection."A gentleman who had read the above adds:

" I return with thanks the interesting sketch ofthe 'Servant of the All Powerful;' it corres-

ponds with that given me by a friend of minewho was present at tbe interview between bimand Gen. Bogeaud at the Gates of Iron;' butAbd-el-Kad- er was then at the head of a power-

ful army, which looked up to him in the doublecapacity of prophet and patriarchal chief; and

the brave, whom your fair friend represents as

clouded with sorrow, was full of the conscious-

ness ofatrength and of patriotism. '1 o someremark of Bugeaud's he then replied, by raisingbis band and pointing bis fore finger to the sky

But our protector is there, and our avenger is

the climate.' He is the victim of his faith in the

Gaul."

Exrtysts or Wae. According to a calcula-

tion of a member of the U. S-- Congress the ex-

penses of the war with Mexico win be a hund-

red and seventy millions of dollars. 1 hisin silver, placed in two-hors- ed wagons, a

thousand pounds to each wagon, would fill tenthousand six hundred and twenty-fiv- e wagons,

w hich would make a dense train extending ixtv-si- x

y We cheerfully comply with ihe request of a sub-

scriber to give place in our columns to the following

piece of selected poetry, which cannot be read without

emotion.

THE DYING BOY.

Ii must be sweet in childhood to give back

The spirit to its maker, ere the heart

Hath grown familiar with the paths of sin,And sown to gather up its bitter fruits.

1 knew a boy, whose infant feet had trod

Upon the blosoms of aome aeren springs,

And when the eighth came round, and called him out,

To retel in its light, he turned away,

And sought his chamber, to lie down and die ! ,

.'Twas night; he summoned his accustomed friends,

And in this wise bestowed his last requests :

Mother, I'm dying now;.

There's a deep suffocation on my breast

As if some heaTy band my bosom piesseJ.

And on my brow I feel the cold sweat stand.

Say, mother, is this death?

Mother, your hand !

ere, lay it on my wrist;

And place the other thns, beneath my head,

And say, sweet mother, say, when I am dead

Shall I be missed?

Never beside youi kneeShall I kneel down at night to pray;

Nor in the morning wake, and sing the lay

You taught to me.

Oh I at the time of prayer,When you look around a-- d see a vacant scat, . .

Yo will not wait then for my coming feet !

You'll miss me there !

Father, I'm going home;

To that great home yon spoke of; that blessed land,

Where there is one bright summer, always, and

Storms do not come. .

From faintness and from pain,

From troubles, tears, you say I shall be free, ,

That sickness does not enter there, and we

Shall meet again,

'Brother, that little spotI used to call my garden, where long hours

We've stayed to watch the craning buds and flowers.

Forget it not.

Plant there some box or pine,Something that lives in winter, and will be

A vereant offering to my memory,

And call it mine.

'Sister, the young rose tree,That all the spring has been my pleasant care,

Just putting forth its lea res so green and fair,1 give to thee;And when its roses bloom

I shill be gone away my short course run

And will yon not bestow a tingle one

Upon my tomb?

'Now, mother, sing the toneTon sang last night; I'm weary, and mast sleepWho was it called my name? Nay, do not weep,

You'll all come soon !

Horning spread over earth her rosy wings,

And that meek sufferer, cold and ivory pale,Lay on his conch asleep ! The morning airCame through the open window, freighted withThj fragrant odors of the lovely spring, .

Be breathed it not. The laugh of passers by

Jarred like a discord in sove.mournful note,But worried not his slumber he icxu dead !

EXCERPTSProm the works of author more talked about

than read at the present day. ,

A man who does not possess a particulartalent, satisfies hintseU by despising it; heremoves this obstacle which stands betweenhtm and merit, and by this means he findshimself on a level with him whose labors heis afraid of

sometimes mere are uvinc oeings in nature as beautiful as in romance. Realitysurpasses imagination; and we see breathing,brightening, and moving before our eyes,sights dearer to our hearts than any we everbeheld in the land of sleep.

A great woman not imperious, a fair woman not vain, a woman of common talentsnot jealous, an accomplished woman whoscorns to shine are four wonders just greatenough to be divided among the four quartersof the globe.

Oddities and singularities of behavior mayattend genius; when they do, they are itsmisfortunes and its blemishes. The man oftrue genius will be ashamed of them; at leasthe will never affect to distinguish himself by.if...wmmsicai peculiarities.

Those who feel most deeply are most givento disguise ineir leeungs; ana derision isnever so agonizing as when it pounces onthe wanderings of misguided sensibility.

It is a sour, malignant, envious dispositionwithout taste for the reality, or any image orrepresentation ot virtue, tbat sees with joythe unmerited fall of what had long flourishedin splendor and honor.

Who, in the same given time, can producemore than many others, has vigor; who canproduce more and better, has talents; who

an produce what none else can, has genius.A beautiful woman who has the qualities

of an accomplished man is, of all conver-sations in the world, the most delicious. Inher is to be fouud all the merit of bothsexes.

Good breeding is the art of showing menty external signs the internal regard whichwe have for them. It arises from goodsense, improved by conversing with goodcompany.

To be in company with those we love,satisfies us; it docs not signify whether wespeak to them or not, whether we think onthem or indifferent things, to be near themis all.

Tis a sad thing when men have neitherart enough to speak well, nor judgmentenough to hold their tongues; this is thefoundation of all impertinence.

A man is more faithful and true to anotherperson's secret than his own ; a woman, onthe contrary, keeps her own secret betterthan another .

The shortest and best way to make yourfortune, is to convince people it is their interest to serve you. ,

Women exceed the generality of men inlove, but men have the advantage in friendship.

It is an unpleasant thing to love when wehave not fortune great enough to renderthose we love as happy as they can desire.

The best society and coversation is that inwhich the heart has a greater share than thehead. . '

--, The most difficult people in the world tobe pleased are those who know expenmentnllv that ther want talents to please.- -

Prejudice and self-sufficien-cy naturallyproceed from inexperience of the world! and

ignorance oi maiuuuu.

fHETV. h oKIa tn hear nrovocation IS an ar

gument of great reason; and to lorgive it,of a great mind.

Fly him who, from mere cunosiiy,three questions running, about a tning matcannot concern him.

Ive U far from being a cay passion.

True love is almost always chagrined, me

lancholy, andPrudence and love are not mauu iur cam

other; in proportion as love increases prudence diminishes.

It is never more difficult to speak well

than when we are ashamed of our silence.It is more difficult to conceal the sensa

tions we have than to feign those we havenot.

Absence destroys small passions, and increases great ones; as the wind extinguisiiestapers and kindles fires.

All the passions make us commit iamia,but love makes us guilty of the most ridicu-

lous ones.If we had no faults ourselves we should

a fnot take pleasure in observing mose oiothers.

Most men, like plants, have secret propensities. which chance discovers.

Those who applv themselves too much tolittle things commonly become incapable ofgreat ones.

That conduct olten seems ridiculous mesecret reasons of which are wise and solid.

True eloquence consists in saying all thatproper, and nothing more.

Daniel Webster's Farm. The greatDefender of the Constitution', it is well

known, prides himself as much upon hisskill and reputation as a Farmer,

.as he does

. . , i iupon all the lame he nas acquired as a law-

yer, statesman, or diplomatist. Every bodyhas heard of his great farm, of one thousandacres or more, at Marshfield; so they haveof his old homestead at Franklin. Both areamong the very best in New England, andthe only wonder is that a man possessing twosuch pleasant retreats, should consent tospend half his time away from them, amongthe dust and dirt, the knavery and intriguesof Washington. But it is of neither of thesefarms that we now speak. About halt wayfrom Meredith bridge to Meredith village, onthe old stage road, near what is called 'theParade', Mr. Webster has another farm,which is undoubtedly to him 'an older it nota better possession than either ot the

others. And there is a story about, too,which is worth repeating

Some thirty-fiv- e or forty years ago, whenMr. W. was a younger man than he is now,and a practising attorney at Portsmouth, heheld an execution against an individual onthe 'Parade', in satisfaction of which a 'nicelittle place' 'five acres, more or less as itwas represented, was set off to him.Sometime after, while journeying with hisfamily in the interior, Mr. Webster conclud-ed to ride up and see his 'nice little place',

. . a . 1 . - 1

with the tenant who occupied u. viimDingover the long hills which intervene betweenthe 'Bridge and the 'Parade , he at lengthreached it. when he found a log hut withabout half an acre of the veriest trash in theshape of rocks and bushes to be seen any

in tho 'flmn'iif Staff' This wan theextent of his 'nice little place' very nice,undoubtedly, to hold the world together, butof no conceivable utility lor any other purpose. Without alighting from his carriage,the 'Lord of the Manor called the old lady,whom he found in possession as tenant, tothe door, and after sundry queries as towhether she paid her rent regularly, and ifnot. whether she should not be turned onthe place, etc., and the old dame protestedthat she was poor and unable to pay thatshe had heard that the owner was 'a veryclever soul', and did not believe he would beso cruel as to turn her out of house and,home. etc.. etc. Daniel pulled a sum ofmoney from his pocket, and assuring histenant that he knew the owner very well,told her to occupy the premises as long asshe could afford to for the money he gaveher, and be sure and take good care ofthem.

Whether Mr. W. has ever visited his 'nicelittle place' since, we know not ; but it stillremains in his possession, and is known inthe region round about as 'Daniel Websler,s

farm.' Dover (N. H.) Enquirer

. Gems from the 'Hue and Cry'. Fromthe above publication we take the following,under the head of Cork county:

Description of two cows, the property ofMichael Hurley, etc. first 'Ihree yearsold: head and neck white; short horns incalf(!V Second A few white spots

J 111 ton tne nacK, ana long norns in can : valuable horns these!)

Description of a mare stolen from DanielKenncally: 'A red mare has a bad mouthabont fourteen hands hish'! (This maremust have ruined any man a mouth fourtern hands high would be capable of drawing in a small cock of hay at a pull.)

The following is given in full; it is underthe head of the county of Dublin; the property is described as belonging to K. tlalbot, Esq., parish of IMonkstown: 'Unesilver inkstand, with a place for two bottlesone being oval class in the centre, twogrooves for pens which stood on four feetmarked with a cockatrice s crest ! A gentleman s gold ring with a light lavenderstone, with a man's head engraved oo a lady's small work box'! (It will prove rathera tough job to unravel the above paragraph.)

t rom Kildare there is a description of amare stolen from a Mr. Andrews, the tail ofthe animal being valued at 18! (Querywhat is the value of the mare when the tatis worth the above sum?)

it appears that heiters attain an age inLondonderry county nover heard of in otherparts, for we have the description ofheifer, twelve years old,' which was stolenfrom Mr. S. Church, of that county. (Cowsin Uonnaught, we are told,

.have long horns

From Meath, amongst other things, thereis a description of a 'vagabond', named JohnLee, cotaining the following paragraph:'Brown eyes which appears as if be hadshaved off his whiskers'!

Mr. Pat. Naughton, of Mayo, lost a heifer,described as 'all white, except . a little, andone ot her horns.'

John M'Namara, of . Fartns, Queen'sCounty, lost a mare, which is described as'between a pony and a horse, with, a longtail," about , fourteen., hands' high'! 1 (Thistail-t- s just the size of the mare's mouth,No.l.)
