From Shelley's Poems.
“ The history of a beautiful garden, that after bright
enlrg and blossoming under the eye of its lovely
young mittrett, shares in the calamity of her fate,
and dies because she is no wore there tu tend its
I beauties.” 3
A Sensitive Plant in a garden grow,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light.
And closed them beneath the kisses of night.
And the Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt every where;
And each flower and herb on Earth's datV breast
Hose from the dreams of its wintry rest
Tlie snow-drop, and then the violet,
Arose from the ground with warm rain wet,
And their breath was milt with fresh odour, sent
From the turf,like the voice and the instrument.
Then the pied wind-flowers and the tulip tall,
Ami narcissi, the fairest among them ait,
Who gnr.e on their eyes in the stream’s recess,
Till they die of their, own dear loveliness;
And the Naiad-like Uly of the vale,
Whom youth makes so fair, and passion so pale,
That the light of Its tremulous hell* Is seen
Through their pavilions of tender green;
I And the hyacinth purple, and whiteand blue,
, Which flung from its bells a sweet peal anew
Os music so delicate, soft and intense,
, It waa felt like an odour within the sense;
‘ And tho rose like a nymph to the bath addrest,
Which unveiled the depth of her glowing’ breast.
! Till fold after fold to the fahiting air
The soul of her boauty and love lay bare; *
And the wand-like Uly. which lifted up,
Asa Mscnod, its rhoonhght-colourod cup,
Till the fiery star, which is its eye,
■ Gazed through clear dew on the tender sky,
And tho jessamine faint, and the sweet tube-rose, i
The sweetest flower for scent that blows;
And all rare blossoms from every clime
Grew in that garden in perfect prime.
* * * The Sensitive Plant
Pelt (he sound of thefiineral chant,
And the steps of the bearers, heavy and slow,
And the sobs of the mourners deep and low,
The weary sound and the heavy breath,
And the silent motions of passing death,
And the smell, cold, oppressive, anil dank,
Sent through the pores ofthc collinplanh;
The dark grass, and the flowers among the grau.
Were bright with tears ns the crowd did pass,
From their sighs the wind caught a mournful tone,
And sate in the pines, and gave groan for groaa
The garden, once fair, became eold andfouL
Like the corpse ofher who had been Its souL
Which at first was lively, as If in Sleep,
Then slowly changed, till It grew a heap
To iimk6 men tremble who never weep.
Swift Summer Into the Autumn flowed,
And fr ost In the midst of the morning rode,
Though the nnondiy sun looked clear and bright.
Mocking the spoU oif the secret night.
The rose leaves, like (lakes of crimson snow,
Paved the turf and the moss below.
The lilies wesedroopUig, and white, and warn
Like the head and the skiu of a dying man
And Indian plants, of scent and hue
The sweetest that ever were fed on dew.
Leaf after leaf, day after day,
W ere massed into the common clay.
And the ieares.brown, yellow, and gray, and red,
And white with the whiteness of what Is dead.
Like troops of ghosts on the dry wind past;
Their whistling noise made the birds aghast.
I
And the gusty winds w aked She winged seeds.
Out of their birthplace of ugly weeds,
Till they clung round many a sweet (lower’s stem.
W Inch l otted Into the earth with them. ’
The water-IJonnis under the rivulet
Kell from the stalks on which they were sot;
And the eddies drove them here and there
As the winds did those of the upper air.
Then the ra In eatne down, ami the broken stalks.
Were bent and tangled across the walks;
Ami the leafless net-work of parasite bowers
Massed into ruin; and all sweet flowers.
T\\e Hate awd CuvVmt
From Accum's Treatise.
u Os all the frauds practised by mer
cenary dealers, there is none more re
prehensible, and at the same time more
prevalent, than the sophistication of the
various articles of food.
“ This unprincipled and nefarious
practice, increasing in degree as it has
been found difficult of detection, is uow
applied to almost every commodity
which can be classed among either the
necessaries or the luxuries of life, and
is carried on to a most alarming extent
in every part of the United kingdom.
“Among the number of substances
used in domestic economy, w hich are
now very generally found sophisticated,
may be distinguished— tea, coffee,
bread, beer, wine, spirkous liquors, sal
lad, oil, pepper,vinegar, mustard, cream
ami other articles of subsistence.
“ Indeed it would be difficult to men
tion a single article of fowl which is
not to be met with m an adulterated
state $ and there are some substances
which are scarcely ever to be procured
genuine.
“ It would be very easy to adduce,
in support of those remarks, the testi
mony of numerous individuals, by whom
I have been professionally engaged to
examine certain mixtures, said to be per
fectly innocent. Indeed, during the long
period devoted tuthe practice of my pro
fession, I have had abundant reason .to
be convinced that a vast number of dea
lers, of the highest respectability, have
vended to their customers articles ab
solutely poisonous, which they them- i
selves considered as harmless, ami
which they would not have offered for
sale, bad they been apprized of the
spurious and pernicious nature of the !
compounds, and of the purposes to
which they were destined.
“For instance, I have known cases
in which brandy merchants were not
aware that the substance which they
frequently purchase under the delusive
name of flash, for strengthening and
clarifying spirkous liquors, and which
‘ is held out as consisting of burnt sugar
and isinglass only, in the form of
an extract, is in reality a compound of ■
ifiugar with extract of capsicum; and ,
that to the ■acrid and pungent qualities
of the capsicum is to be ascribed the'
heightened flavour of brandy and rum,
when coloured with the above-mention
ed matter.
“ The following is the method of
compounding, or making up, as it is
technically called, brandy for retail:
Gallons.

Add flavoured raisin spirit - 118
Tincture 6f grains of paradise. 4
Cherry laurelVater - • 2
Spirit of Almond calms f. 2
■''l2o7
<£ Add also 10 handfuls of oak saw
dust ; and give it complexion with burnt
sugar.” -
u In other cases, the ale-brewer has
been supplied with ready-ground C6ri
andter seeds, previously mixed with a
portion of nux vomica and quassia, to
give a bitter taste and narcotic proper
ty to the beverage.
" The baker asserts that he does not
put alum into bread ; but he is well a
ware that, in purchasing a certain quan
tity of flour, lie must take a sack of
sharp whites, (a term given to flour
contaminated with a quantity of alum,)
without which it would be impossible
for him to produce light, white, and po
rous bread, from a half-spoiled mate
rial.
“ The whole sale mealman frequent
ly purchases this spurious commodity,
( which forms a separate branch of bu
siness in the hands of certain individu
als,) in order to enable himself to sell
his decayed and half-spoiled flour.
u Other individuals furnish the baker
with alum mixed up with salt, underthe
obscure denomination of stuff. There
are wholesale manufacturing chemists,
whose sole business is to crystalize ar
lum, in such a form as will adapt this
salt to the purpose of being mixed in a
crystalline state with the crystals of
common salt, to disguise the character
of the compound. The mixture call
ed stuff, is composed of one part of a
lum, in minute crystals, and three of
common salt. In many other trades a
similar mode of proceeding prevails.
Potatoes are soaked in water to aug
ment their weight.
u Nine tenths of tire most potent
drugs and chemical preparations used
in pharmacy, are.vended in a sophisti
cated state by dealers who would be
the last to be suspected. It is well
known, that of the article Peruvian
Hark, there is a variety of species in
ferior to the genuine; that too little dis
crimination is exercised by the collec
tors of this precious medicament; that
it is carelessly assorted, and is frequent
ly packed in green hides ; that much
of it arrives in Spain in a half-decayed
state, mixed with fragments-of other
vegetables and various extraneous sub
■ stances ; and in this state is distributed
throughout Europe.
“ But, as if this were not a suffici
ent deterioration, the public are often
served with a spurious compound of
mahogany saw-dust and Oak wood,
ground into powder, mixed with a pro
portion of good quinquina, and sold as
genuine bark powder.
“ Every chemist knows that there
are mills constantly at work in this me
tropolis, which furnish bark powder at
a much cheaper rate than the substance
can be procured for in its natural state.
The price of the best genuine bark, up
on an average, is not lower than twelve
shillings the ponnd ; but immense
quantities of powder bark are supplied
to the apothecaries at three or four shil
lings.! pound.
" It is also notorious, that there are
manufacturers of spurious rhubard
powder, ipecacuanha powder, James's
powder, and other simple and com
pound medicines of great potency, who
carry on their diabolical trade on an a
rnazingly large scale. Indeed, the
quantity of medical preparations thus
sophisticated exceeds belief, Cheap
ness, and not genuineness and excel
lence, is the grand desideratum with the
unprincipled dealers in drugs and me
dicines.
“ Those who are familar with che
mistry, may easily convince themselves
of the existence of the fraud, by sub
jecting to a chemical examination ei
ther spirits of hartshorn, magnesia, cal
cined magnesia, calomel, or any other
chemical preparation in general de
mand.
{i Spirit of hartshorn is counterfeit
ed by mixing liquid caustic ammonia
with the distilled spirit of hartshorn, to
increase the pungency of its odour, and
to enable it to bear an addition of wa
fer.
u Calcined magnesia is seldom met
with in a pure state. It may be assay
ed by the same tests as the common
magnesia. It ought not to effervesce at
all with dilute sulphuric acid; and if
i the magnesia and acid be pul together
into one scale of a balance, no diminu
tion of weight should ensue on mixing.
them together. . Calcined magnesia,
however, is very seldom sq pure as to
be totally dissolved by diluted sulphu
ric acid ; for a small insoluble residue
generally remains, consisting chiefly of
silicious earth, derived from the alkali
employed in the preparation of it. The
solution in sulphuric acid, when large-’
ly diluted, ought not to artbrd any pre
cipitation by the addition of oxalate of
ammonia.
“ The genuineness of calomel may
■ be ascertained by boiling, for a few min
, «tes, one part, with 1-3 2d part of mu
riate of ammonia in ten parts of dis
tilled water. When carbonate of pot
ash is added to the filtered solution, no
precipitation will ensue if the calomel
be pure,
“ Indeed, some of the most common
and cheap drugs do not escape the a
dulterating hand of the unprincipled
druggist. Syrup of buckthorn, for ex
ample, instead of being prepared from
the juice of buckthorn berries, (rham
nus catharticiis,) is made from the fruit
of the blackberry-bearing alder, and
the dogberry tree. A mixture of the
berries of the buckthorn and blackber
ry-bearing alder, and of the dogberry
tree, may be seen publicly exposed for
sale by some of the venders of medici
nal herbs. This abuse may be disco
vered by opening the berries: those of
buckthorn have almost always four
seeds ; of the alder, two; and of the
dogberry, only one. Buckthorn ber
ries, bruised on white paper, stain it of
a green colour, which the others do not.
“ Instead of worm-seed ( artemisia
snntonica, ) the seeds of tansy are fre
quently offered for sale, or a mixture of
both.
“ A great many of the essential oils,
obtained from the more expensive spi
ces, are frequently so much adulterated,
that it is not easy to meet with such as
are at all fit for use ; nor are these a
dulterations easily discoverable.
u Most of the arrow-root, the fecula
of the Maranta arudinacea, sold by
druggists, is a mixture of potato starch
and arrow-root.
“ The eager and insatiable thirst for
gain, which seems to be a leading char
acteristic of the times, calls into action
every human faculty, and gives an irro
sietahle impulse to the power of inven
tion ; and where lucre becomes the
reigning principle, the possible sacrifice
of even a fellow creature’s lile is a se
condary consideration. In reference'
to the deterioration of almost all the ne
cessaries and comforts of existence, it
may be justty observed, in a civil as
well as a religious sense, that “ in the
midst of life we are in death.
"It is sufficiently obvious, that few
of those commodities, which are the ob
jects of commerce, are adulterated to a
greater extent than wine. All persons
moderately conversant with the subject
are aware, that a portion of alum is ad
ded to young and meagre rod wines, for
the purpose of brightening their colour;
that Brazil wood, or the husks of elder
berries and bilberries, are employed to
impart a deep rich purple tint to red
Port of a pale, faint colour ; that gypsum
is used to render cloudy white wines
transparent; that an additional astrin
gency is imparted to immature red
wines by means of oak-wood sawdust
and the husks of filberts; and that a mix
ture of spoiled foreign and home-made
wines is converted into the wretched
compound frequently sold in this town
by the name of genuine old Fort.
“ Various expedients are restored to
for the purpose of communicating par
ticular flavours to insipid wines. Thus
a nutty flavours is produced by bitter
almonds; factitious Port wine is fla
voured with a tincture drawn from the
seeds of raisins; and the ingredients em
ployed to form the bouquet of high-fla
voured wines, are sweet-brier, orris
root, clary, cherry laurel water, and el
derrilowcrs.
“ There is, In this city, a certain fra
ternity of chemical operators, who work
under ground in holes, caverns, and
dark retirements, to conceal their mys
teries from the eyes and observation of
mankind. These subterraneous philo
sophers are daily employed in the trans
mutation of liquors, and by the power
of magical drugs and incantations, rais

The writings of Fuller are usually
designated by the title of quaint, and
with sufficient reason; for such was his
natural bias to conceits, that I doubt not
upon most occasions it would have been
going out of his way to have expressed
himself out of them. But his wit is not
always a lumen siccum, a dry faculty of
surprising; on the contrary, his conceits
are oftentimes deeply steeped in hu
man feeling and passion. Above all,
his way of telling a story, for its eager
liveliness, and the perpetual running
commentary of (he narrator happily
blended with the narration, is perhaps
unequalled.

Yet let us take the Apostle’s meaning i
rather than his words, with all possible '
speed to depose our passion ; not un- i

take leave to be angry till sunset: then :

Henry dc Essex— i: lie is too well
known in our English Chronicles, be
ing Baron of Raleigh, in Essex, and He
reditary Standard Bearer of England. I
It happened in the reign- of this king i
[Henry 11. j there was a fierce battle
fought, in Flintshire, at Coleshall be- <
tween the English and W elsh, wherein
this Henry do Essex, animtm et sigmm
slmul abjecit, betwixt traitor and cow- |
ard, cast away both his courage and (
banner together, occasioning a great
overthrow of English. Rut he that had !
the baseness to do, had the boldness to
deny the doing of so foul a fact; until .
he was challenged in combat by Robert !
de Momford, a knight, eye-witness
thereof, and by him overcome in a duel.
Whereupon his large inheritance was
confiscated to the king, and he himself, :
partly thrust, partly going into a con- !
vent, hid his head in a cowl, under
which, betwixt shame and sanctity, he
blushed out the remainder of his life. 7 ’
Burning of WickUjfe’s Body by
Order of the Council of Constance. —
“ Hitherto [A. D. J-428] the corpse of
John Wickliffe had quietly slept in l)is
grave about forty-one years after his
death, till his body was reduced to
bones, and his bones almost t« dust. For
though the earth in the chancel of Lut
terworth, in Leicestershire, where he
was interred, hath not so quick a diges
tion with the earth of Aceldama, to con
sume flesh in 24 hours, yet such the ap
petite thereof, and all other English
graves, to leave small reversions of a
body after so many years. But now
such the spleen of the Council of Con
stance, as they not only cursed his me
mory as dying an obstinate heretic, but
ordered that his bones (with this charita
ble caution, —if it may be discerned from
the bodies of other faithful people) to
be taken out of the ground, and thrown
far off from any Christian burial. In
obedience hereunto, Richard Fleming,
Bishop of Lincoln, Diocesan of Lutter
worth, sent his officers (vultures with a
quick sight, scent, at a dead carcase) to
ungrave him. Accordingly to Letter-.-
worth they come, Sumner, Commissa
ry, official, chancellor, Proctors, Doc
tors, and their servants (so that the rem
nant of the body would not hold out a
bone amongst so many hands), take
what was left out of the grave, and burnt
them to ashes, and cast them into Swift,
a neighboring brook, running hard by.
Thus this brook has conveyed his ash
es into Avon, Avon into Severn, Severn
into the narrow seas, they into the main
ocean; and thus the ashes of Wickliffe
are the emblem of his doctrine, which
now is dispersed all the world over.”
The Editor of the Liverpool Kaleido
scope, ipisjed by the name of Hamburgh
, in the state of South Carolina, and hav
ing seen the notice taken in the Charles
ton prints of Mr. Schultz’s steam boat
Commerce, thus remarks;
“ The expected, yet almost incalcula
ble advantages of applying the power
of steem to vessels navigating the At
lantic, are about to br fully realized.
The Commerce steam ship lately start
ed from Charleston, S. C. with mer
chaiid se and passengers to Hamburgh;
thus uniting in one continued voyage,
the breath of the Atlantic ocean and
the German sea. The Charleston pa
; pers state, that two or three other steam
j vessels will immediately be built or pur
chased for the same trade, indeed, to
such perfection has this species of navi
gation now arrived, on both sides the
Atlantic, that we should not be surprisr
ed to observe, soon, the passage I’rom
Europe to America advertised to be
performed with the probable punctuali
ty and despatch of a mail coach.”
The editor then goes on in a strain
of rapturous exultation and anticipation
of the benefits to be derived from steam
navigation; all which may be in the
main, true, but from the error in the
premises, is rendered extremely ridipu- \
lons. He little thinks that Hamburgh ,
is but a town of yesterday, and that |
whatever it may become, it wijl be some ,
time before it riyals its namesake on j
the other side pf the “ Atlantic ocean i
and German sea.” Yet the enterprtze ,
displayed is not the less honorable.
