FROM THK V. S. LITCRARV "AZETTE.
THE POOR SCHOLAR.
J law him startin'? in hi* now career ;
1 be hue of health was on his check—his eve
nash^d w ith the eve of geititt , while no fear
Cast its dark cloud o'er his aspirings hierh.
And oVr his hro •. in fluttering tight and shade
A thousand bright and glorious fancies p'aved.
And he did seem like one who lightiv deemed
Of chance and peril that encircle fame—
One who wherever the wave-jewel gb-amed.
Would urge right on with ardour nought could
tame ;
;Av. one who 1 ved it better, that it lav
Where the vexed ocean flung its troubled spray.
Like a voting ea«de on the mountain height.
Pluming the vigorous wing to fly he stood
Fearless, thought lonely. Beautiful and bright,
Outstretched before him, t' e wide world he
Hi-wed
And though from midst his wavs, the sound of
st-lfn
Jtosp loud it sooke of energy and life.
Aga in I saw him—then his cheek was pale,
And hent his form, and dimmed his lightning eye;
file strength had gone, as the tree fades when fail
The fresh*ing streams, fc hli"htinr winds go hvl
*C3one the generous pride, the fixed intent,
With which to the world’s cirque like gallant
Steed he hent.
JJiit. though hesfriiggled on against the tide,
Tile goal of premise still did fleet away.
And still did mark him—till his last hope died
None cried ■' God bless him/’on his weary way,
Looked kind, or stretched a tim"Tv hand to save,
What marvel then.-the green turf decks his grave
Yea. death f»ll on him. for his HTs were sore ;
Nor was it to his heart nngratef 1 boon ;
As a light hillow on the level shore,
Or lamn expiring in the ardent noon,
}To died unheeded sav hv one. and she

SUtiHEN RFATH.
Oh: u-t-n could *isvc thought when ha pass'd hy that morn
ing.
So firm was his footstep so hrii ht wap his eye,
An ltV. Mnssaaie of health -verv features adorning,
Oh’ who could have thought that so soon lie must'die ?
tfot 1 satv him at noon, and an ominous sadness
O’ershadoweil and darhened his fine manly brow ;
And that face, which so oft was expressive of gladness,
Segm'd suddenly altered, and comfortless now.
A sntv him at night—on his lied lie lay dying,
Hi ■ lips were fast changing from vennii to Idur,
And his children around him were bitterly crying,
As he hiss'ed them, and blest them, and bade them adieu-
| saw him again on the dawn of the morrow—
Rut nature wns vanquish'd the struggle was o'er,
Ris soul had forsaken her partner in sorrow,
And fled to that place where distress is no metre.

Anecdote of President Davies.
This great Tying, originally a poor boy
AX Hanover, Va., bnt for bis extraordina
ry talents and pirtv, early advanced to the
professorship of Princeton College, cros
s'd the Atlantic to solicit the means of
completing that noble institution. Ilis
•fame as a mighty man of God, had arrived
long before him. He was of course, spepd-
ily inviied np to the oulpit. From a soul
.at once bluing with gospel light and burn
ing with divine love, his style of speaking
Was’so strikingly superior to that of the cold
sermon readers of the British metropolis,
that the town was presently running after
b ; m. There was nn getting into the church
es where lie was to preach. The coach
es of nobilitv stood in glittering ranks a-
foitnd (he long neglected walls of Zion ;
and even George the third with his royal
consort, borne away bv the holv epidemic
became humble hearers of the American
orator. Blessed with a clear glassy voice,
sweet as tho notes of the Harmonica, and
as Ion 1 as the battle kindling trumpet, lie
(A nred fourth the pious ardour of his soul
with such force that the honest monarch
could not repress his emotions; but start
ing from his seat with rolling eves and ag
itated manner, at every burning period he
would exclaim, loud enough to he heard
Jialf wav over the rhumb, “ Fine ! fine !
fine preacher! faith, a fine preacher ! Why
—ichy—gohy—Charlotte !—Why Char
lotte ! This heats our archbishop ! The
people all stared at the King. The man
ef God made a full stop, and fixing his
eyes upon him,_as would a tender parent
upon a giddv child, cried aloud. “ When
the lion roars the boasts in the forest trem
ble; and when the Almighty speaks, let
the kings of the partli keep silence.” The
monarch shrunk back into his seat, and
behaved, during the rest of the discourse,
with respectful attention. The next day
he sent for Dr. Davies, and compliment
ing him highly as an “ honest preacher”
ordered him a check of a hundred guineas
for his college.
Apologue.—By the learned Geneva.—
44 The fox,” 44 once came near a fine gar
den, where he beheld lofty trees laden
with fruit that charmed the eye. Such a
beaniifu! sight, added to his uaturalgreed-
iness, excited in him a desire of posses
sion. He fain would taste the forbidden
fruit, hut a high wall stood between him
and his wishes. He vent about in search
ofaD entrance, and at last found an open
ing in the wall ; but it was loo small for
his body. Unable to penetrate, he had
recourse to his usual cunning. He lasted
three days, and became sufficiently redu
ced to crawl through the small aperture.
Having effected an entrance, he careless
ly roved about in this delightful region ;
making free with its delightful produce,
and feasting on its most rare and delicious
fruit He staid for some time, and glut
ted Iiis appetite ; when a thought struck
him tliat he might be observed / and in
that case, he should pay dearly for his en
joyed pleasure. He therefore retired to
the place he had entered, and attempted
to get out ; but to his great consternation
he found his endeavours in vain. He had
by indulgence grown so fat and plump, that
the same space would no more admit him.
“I am in a fine predicament,” said he
to himself. “ Suppose the master of the
garden were now to come and call me to
ini account, what would become of me? I
see mv only chance of escape is to fast
and half starve myself.” He did so wiih
great reluctance ; and after suffering hun
ger for three days, lie with difficulty made
his escape. As soon as he was out of dan
ger, he took a farewell view jof the gar
den, the scene of his delight and trouble
and thus addressed if : *" Garden ! gar
den! thou art indeed charming and de
lightful, thy fruits are delicious and ex
quisite ; hut of what benefit art thou to
me ? What have I now for all my labor
and cunning ? Am I not as lean as I was
before ?”
It is even so with man. Naked comes
he into the world—naked must he go out
of it; and of all his toils and labour, he
can carry nothing with him save the fruits
of his righteousuess.
Married Life.—Connubial happiness is
4 if too fine a texture to be roughly handled.
It is a delicate flower which indifference j
will chill, and suspicion blast It is a sen- |
itive plant, which will not even hear the j
touch of unkindness. It must be watered j
with the showers of tender affection, ex- j
panded with the glow of attention, and j
guarded hv the impregnable bariar of un- j
shaken confidence. It must be kept unsul
lied by the hand ofcarelessness, unobscur
ed hy selfishness, uncontaininated hy neg
lect. Thus matured it will bloom with
fragrance, iu every season of life, and sof
ten the pillow of declining years.
“ I have lived,” said the indefatigable
E. D. Clarke, 44 to know that the great-
cs* secret in human happiness is this—
never suffer your enemies to stagnate.—
The old adage of loo many irons in the
fire,” conveys an abominable lie.—You
eauuot have to many ; poker, tongs and
sill—'-keep them all going.”
Dancing.—The Virginia Visitor con
tains a communication, under the classical
signature of “ Achoreuon,” denouncing
the amusement of dancing. There are
strange dislinctions made in this world be
tween different kinds of exercise. No
one, we believe, lias as yet discovered any
immorality in skating or running for exer
cise, but as llie age becomes more refined,
we shall probably have moial laws passed
against these amusements also. Is there
any immorality in a man’s jumping over a
fence twenty times,pour passer le terns—
we presume not ;—take away the fence
then, and let the man jump away as much
as before :—is this wicked ? Are the mus
cles unprincipled and the feet immoral ?
No.—Let this motion be performed with
ease and grace—do they render wicked
what •’■as before innocent?
But then the fiddle—what can be said
in apology for the fiddle? To be sure
there is nothing unprincipled in the fine
flowing mane of a noble steed, but pluck
the hairs from that mane, and weave them
into strings for the fiddle bow, and lo ! they
become instruments of evil. The case
then appears to stand thus—a man may
hop, skip, jump, or run, without music, and
no harm is done—but if he do this grace
fully, and keep time with the notes of the
fiddle, he is guilty of abomination. But
when the fair and the young assemble, in
the cheerfulness of innocence, and ‘‘mix
in the mazy dance,” which gives elasticity
to the form, and rosy health to the cheeks,
tbev offend against the law of morality.—
This is the only inference to be drawn,
for if jumping and hopping he wicked in
themselves, frogs and grasshoppers are in
a bad way. So much for dancing.
[Morning Conner.]
Swimming.—The art of swimming
should be acquired by every boy both on
account of its utility and its beneficial ef
fects on health. As an exercise, it throws
the muscles of both the superior & the low
er limbs into action expands the chest, and
increases the whole vigour of the frame.
In bathing swimming is useful, by enabling
the bather to plunge fearlessly headlong
into the water which prevents the deter
mination of blood to the head that not un-
frequentlv occurs when any one walks in
to the water at a low temperature. It
should not, however, be too long.continu-
ed nor should anv boy be allowed to ven
ture into the water when feeling a sensa
tion of chilliness. In this case he should
run, or take exercise until a glow of heat
be excited on the surface ; or he should
not bathe until he has taken a hearty meal
and on no occasion should anv one exhaust
bv fatigue, or languid by intemperance,
he permitted to plunge info cold wafer.—
The first effect of the application of cold
to tlie surface of 'ho body is the repulsion
of the blood to the interior, & its accu
mulation there ; lint when the heart and
large blood-vessels are sufficiently vigor
ous, this temporary accumulation only
stimulates them to powerful reaction, and
tlie blood is thrown on the surface again
with a force sufficient lo distend the small
est superficial vessels, and to produce fiom
the excitement thus communicated to the
cutaneous nerves, a glow or sensation of
heat on the skin. Bathing should always
be followed by such a glow, for when
this does not occur, the congestion of the
interior vessles is apt to cause the rupture
of their coasts, and produce apoplexy if
the vessels of the brain be more than usu
ally loaded.—[Medical Essays.
A man who had a cause in court, said that if
lie lost in the court of common pleas, he
would appeal to the supreme court and
from there to the U. States’ court, and
from there to Heaven. 4 And there (re
plied a gentleman) you will be a defaulter
for you will not be present to answer for
yourself, and no attorney is ever admitted
there.!”

its unceasing efforts.
He must have paid but little attention to the
history of the age in which lie lives, or to the
course of human events, wdto does not percrive
the strong influence, u hich public o’ inion. thus
guided, may exercise on our destiny. We have
permitted doctrines injurious to our character,
hostile to our peace and welfare, pernicious and
| unfonnded, to circulate without correction ; even
misrepresentation and falsehood, the errors of
ignorance, the perversions of prejadice. the de
lusions of fanaticism, have been suffered to pass
unnoticed. The presumptions of to-day serve as
facts to-morrow, and furnish materials with which
the l ress, if not corrected or enlightened, will
mislead that judgment hy which we must all be
governed.
Under such circumstances, shall we remain
unmindful of the aim and object, the prrgress
and direction of this mighty power? Shall a
people, whose situation is so peculiar, whose
welfare may be so easily put in jeopardy, whose
interests are in some measure isolated, and there
fore the more easily assailed, continue indiffer
ent to the perils that surround them ? We mav
slumber, but there are those who will not sleep";
we may avert out eyes from danger, but evil will
not the less readily nor the less rapidly appi oach
us.
Nor is it one inteiest only we have to guard,
one duty to perform. We are members of a
vast eonfederacy, harmoniously united for many
years by the bonds of friendship, and by the ben
efits of free and uninterrupted intercouse. En
deared to each other by the recollection of com
mon dangers, and common triumphs, by a great
national heritage of glory and liberty—we are as
sociated by an instrument of no ordinary charac
ter; a Charter which is the boast of our own
country, and the admiration of mankind. It

tive power. It may soon be considered ticason
in the citizen, disorganization in the States to
assert Rights which were never surrendered to
the Federal Government, or to resist powers
which our predecessors never designed, and
would never have consented to relinquish. It shall be
onr cate faithfully to point out thpse encroach
ments, and strenuously to resist that consolida
tion of all power in a national head, which, what
ever may be toe impressions of the moment, ro
the views of the agent in each act, must lead, ul
timately, perhaps lapidly to discord and disun
ion.
Amidst out exertions, we shall omit no means
of diffusing among onr fellow-citizens, a know
ledge of t e improvements of the age, by bring
ingto their notice the works in which these im
provements are detailed, or those which leave,
by their intrinsic powers, their own impress on
the human mind. We shall delight to trace the
career of genius, pouring its radiance not only
over the barren waste, but over the cultivated
scenes of nature and of life; or the efforts of pa
tient industry building up by useful and untiring
labor, an humble but enduring reputation ; or
mirth, in his wanton hours, disporting with the
varying and never ending train of human frail
ties.
To Literature, to Science, to Agriculture, as
well as to our national and local concerns, our
attention shall be unremittingly applied. The
assistance of many gentlemen of distinguished
talents has already been secured for this Work,
and no efforts will be spared to enlist such coad
jutors as will render the Southern Review worthy
of the patrouage of our fellow-citizens. Contri
butions from Literary Gentlemen in any portion
of the Union will be thankfully received.
The SOUTHERN REVIEW, will be published
on the first of February/ May. August and No
vember. Each Number will consist of about 250
pages. Terras—Fire Dollars per annum.
m? Gentlemen in any part of the country who
may wish the work transmitted to them by ma 1,
are requested to forward their orders, with the
amount of one year’s subscription, to the Printer,
