THE TREASURES OF THE SEA.
liY MUS. HEMAilS.
What hid’ft thou in thy treasure caves
and cel’s!
The U hollow sounding and mysterious
Mair.!
Pale glistening pearls, and rainbow colour- |
ed shells,
Bright <h'iigs which gleam unrecked of >
and in vain.
Keep, i eep ihv -ieh's melancholy sea!
We as.lt not such of thee.
Yet more, the Depths have more! What
wealth untold,
Far. down, an I shining through their
stillness, he: !
Thou hast the starry gems, the burning
T gold,
Won rom ten thousand roval Argosies,
Sweep o’erthe spoils, thou wild and wrath
ful Mam!
Earth claims not these again!
Yet more, the depths have, more! Thy
waves have relied
Above the cities of a world gone by!
San ' hash (i'l l up th° nalaces of old,
Sca-w ;ed o’ergrown the halls of rcvelr !
Dash i.’"r them, Ocean! in they scornful
play,
Man yields them to decay!
Yet iuovp! the Billows and the Depths
have more!
High hearts and brave arc gathered to
thv breast!
They Iwar not now the booming waters
roar,—
Th * battle-thunders will not break their
re«t.
Keep thy read gold and gems thou stor
my grave;—
Give hack the true and brave!
Give back the lost and lovely!—Those for
whom
The place was kept at board and hearth
so iongj
The prater went up through midnight’s
breathless gloom.
And the vain yearning woke ’midst fes
tal song!
Hold fast thy buried isles, thy towers o'er-
throvvn
—But all is not thine own!
To thee the love of women hath gone
down:
Dark How thy tides o’er manhood’s no
ble head,
O’er youth’s bright locks and beauty's
tloweiy crown!
Yet must thou hear a voice—restore the
Dead!
Earth shall reclaim her precious things
from thee!—
Restore the Dead, thoa Sea!

RUSSIAN STORY.
An interesting anecdote, illustra
tive of Russian manners, is told by a
gentleman who has recently travelled
m the north of Europe. An ollicei
i.i the prime of manhood oi high rank
in the Russian army, was appointed
by the Emperor Alexander to the
i uiiiiiinnd of n remote province of the
Empire. On his arrival at the chief
t.owli of Ills Government, he was vis
ited by the nobility and great eflioers
of the district, and, among tiie rest,
by a certain count, whom he recog
nized as o.ie of his old classnates at
a military school, where they had
parted in hostility, on aceouit of an
insult receved by the count, which he
had courage to resist. Oi all tie visi
ters this count was the most over
powering in his civilities. Meeting ,
the governor as one whom Ik had j
never seen before, he endeavoured to
give the impression that they lud
ways been strange;s to ea li other.
' To his new ruler he spoke as if he
had ,.o emetnhranee of his person or
name, and played his part so w ell.hat
the former was almost convineedthat
the youthful quarrel had escaped his
recollection. Know ing however, the
duration of a Russian s resentment,
the governor prudently resolved lobe
upon his guard. Still every thing
continued to proceed smoothly, and
the smiles and civilities ol the count
continued to be lavished upon his old
enemy, and nothing occured to aw ak
en suspicion or to cloud their rnulual
courtesies. At length the count ap
pointed a day for giving a great fete
at his castle. This castle was situat
ed on a rough and difficult tract of
country, protected by mountainous de
files, yet but a few miles distant from
the head quarters of the governor.
To the castle his excellency was in
vited, to attend the feast, which was
to lie adorned with all the splendors
and inagnific.ience of the Russian no
blesse. He accepted the imitation
but after be had done so. w as visited
by certain doubts as to the sincerity
of bis host, notwithstanding the com
plete oblivon to which a period oi
twenty years apparently consigned the
resentment of the count, lie took the
preeausion, therefore, to order a body
of dragoons, twenty of whom should
be provided with stirrup leathers ol
leathern thongs to follow him private
ly, and when the clock should strike
nine, to close round the castle, while
the subaltern officer in command pro
ceeded to report himself to him w lier-
ever he might be. To his ofllcer the
orders were strict. No matter w hen,
how, or about what, the governor
might he engaged, when the clock
struck nine the officer must be in bis
presence, and ready to receive his
commands. After giving these orders,
the governor repaired to the fete.
Ho was received with great polite
ness and greeted with every demon
stration of respect.—The halls were
decked with ornamental uiagniiici-
ence.—Barbaric pearl and gold were
literally showered upon the splendid
draperies of the simple halls, and the
dresses of the lad.es glittered with
jewelry. Rich music, tunned by a
concert of horns, on which each per
former is taught to sound only a single
note, so that there must be as many
performers as there cr notes in the
gamut, in order-to play a single tune,
and an immense number to compose a
band, was pouring forth its inspiring
harmony. — Plumes were nodding,
bright eyes were glancing, generous
wines were sparkling, and every thing
was in accordance with festivity and
joy. Still the governor observe^, that
of the guests, whether ladies/or the
noblemen, not one was present who
was not connected by blood or mar
riage with the lord of the cast If. He
gave himself up to the fascination of
the soence, however, eiyojed the
splendid arrangements, suffered him
self to be led from the grand saloon to
the library, from the libifiry the
picture hall, from the pictures to the
cabinet of genius, through the varie
ty of apartments which hod been pre
pared for the gratification of a refined
and luxurious taste, until at length lie
observed that of those who had attend
ed him, there were only six who re
mained, all the nearest blood relations
to the count. His ease of manner
continued, and he moved forward with
them towards the cabinet of minerals,
when, as he was passing through a
smaller apartment, the doors were
suddenly shut and fastened, and him
self seized and bound at once, with
in ti:u slighest notice of the intuition,
his doubt then became a veiy un-
sgtislauory certainty. r I lie count
proclaimed Ins hatieii, reminded him
q!’‘licit ancient quai rel, and proceed*
ed with the assistance of his kinsmen
to strip the buck of his enemy, and
to iiilhct a severo flagellation upon
his naked body.
After gratifying their malignity
w ith this inliiction, the count and his
kinsmen direi ted their guest to re
turn to the dancing room and display
his disgrace to the company, by danc
ing tiii supper time. The governor,
who had not from the first betrayed
the slightest expression of suffering,
walked with a firm step, and a man
ner not in the least confused, to tin
bail room, and accosting one of the
ladies, desired the honor of her hand
for the dance. The lady only laugh
ed in his face, lie tried another and
another with the same success. The
shrill voice of female derision, and
•sneers, and jests, and ridicule, were
heard in every part of the apartment,
o\.aid and cows! in,’ and a variety
of other juxtapositions were bandied
about with great alacrity. Still, the
composure of tliG high bred governor
W'as imperturbable.—He had now
asked the hand of every lady in the
room, but one, whom lie had purpose
ly omitted till the last,” for she was
tlie loveliest of them all, and had a
sweet and compassionate expression
of countenance, and did not join in the
general laugh, and looked as if she
could not have the heart to wound the
feelings of a slave. To this lady he
now advanced, and begged that she
would honor him, so much as to be
his partner in the merry ring. She
consented, and he had just led her to
commence the waltz, when, as his
features were beginning for the first
time to assume an appearance of anx
iety, the clock struck nine. He lis-
fcened a moment—he heard nothing—
his features grew darker. He lis
tened again, and the heavy tramp of a
dragoon s footstep greeted his ear.
Presently, in marched the fierce and
whiskered subaltern, taking his way
straight through the bevy of ladies
and gay noblemen, who shrunk from
him i:i breathless trepidation: he pro
ceeded to bis master, and making his
military salute, awaited bis orders.
Then, for the first time, the govern-
uor’s manner changed entirely, llis
sho if rang loud and free. “Let no
one leave the castle; guard every gate;
let twenty dragoons advance, with
their weapons, to this room.”—Then
turning to the lady who had consented
to dance with him, he committed her
to (he charge of an officer, to be led
to her carriage and sent home with
the greatest respect. For the rest of
the company, ladies and gentlemen,
they were stripped by the dragoons
and flogged without reserve with the
etirrup leathers. After undergoing
this discipline 4 they ife*# compelled
to dance till supper time, for the
gratification of the governor, who bad
already been exhorted by them to go
through the same exercise, for their
own particular amusement. After
the dance was done, the governor de
parted, telling the company that lie
hoped they had been as much satis
fied with their entertainment as he
with his.
the cause of complaint? Why the, 7
good mail whist leu—yes, absolutely^
w liistltd—one of his parishioners hav-<
ing occasion to pass his house, saw hind
in the garden, and actually heard hind
whistle while removing the weeds
from a bed of lettuce! The meeting
was dumb-lounded—a minister of the
gospel whistle! What an unheard of
derogation ol dignity! They voted im
mediate dismission, unless he prom-'
ised hereafter to desist from the un
dignified practice. So much for dig
nity!—Bos. Times.
The following is the most singular
remedy for intemperance we ever
heard of. After this, Dr. Chambers’
famous prescription must “hide its
thminised head.”—Sat. Eve. Post.
A drunkard of this town had
ocen long yoked in matrimony, and
w’as surrounded with a hopeful proge
ny. His wife at lengt h finding, if the
husband drank so much, she and her
children must leave ofl'eating, deter
mined to follow him from pot-house to
;>el-housc, which she did, seating her
self at his side, calling foi* the same
beverage, regaling herself in the same
manner, and singing songs in concert.
She neglected her children, returned
home jovially drunk, always in com
pany with her husband; the man swore
—the woman chimed in—the husband
left home—she followed. At last, he
was disgusted with the public bouse,
because his phantom w ife was there—
and the thought of his children made
birn a convert. He left the public
house—so did bis wife; he attended to
liis business—so did she; he became a
licod father—she a good wife; thus ex
emplifying a new' way of curing a hus
band.—Brighton Gaz.
DIGNITY.
We not long since heard a curious
anecdote relative to the caption of
this article. The inhabitants of a
town, not one thousand miles from the
“Literary Emporium,” gave a unan
imous call fo Mr. , a very-worthy
man to become the pastor of their
church. For a time he pleased them
much. By and by, -however, a faint
murmuring was heard from a few of
his parishioners, which was soon echo
ed by others. No one assigned a
cause for complaint; all admitted that
ivlr. was a good moral man, a
sound Christian—that he was regular
in the performance of his religious
duties, and w r as interested for the
welfare of his flock—still the mur
muring increased. At length a meet
ing of the church was called, when it
was proposed to dismiss Mr. .
Some of the members present, unwill
ing lo take such a step without suffi
cient cause assigned, inquired for the
first time, wherein the Rev# Gentle
man had offended. Had lie neglected
the duties of his parochial office or
ceased to vi|it the sick, or to admin
ister the balm of consolation to the
wound* spirit? No: lie was untiring
fin all these duties. What then was
NOTTINGHAM HEROINE
Last week, a young woman of Not
tingham, named Hannah Westbury,
while on her way to Loughborough,
was attacked on the turnpike road,
when within two or thiee miles of the
latter place, by an apparently half
starved squalid looking fellow, rather
below the middle size, who seized a
basket which was hung on her arin,
and made off with it. Not relishing
this kind of treatment, the girl, after
deliberating within herself for a minute
or two what to do, screwed up her
courage to the sticking point,’ and de
termined to regain her basket. She
therefore followed, and over taking the
fellow, commenced an attack in turn;
and although ho struck her a violent
blow on the back, with a stick or
bludgeon, which he had in h:s hand, she
succeeded in overpowering him. pm
wresting the weapon from his hands
beat him with it until he was com
pelled to cry out in the most pitiable
accents for mercy, when lie alleged
that distress had driven him lo the
commission of the deed. The gill’s
compassion being awakened by this
tale of woe, she took three pence out
of her pocket and gave it to him, and
then pushed her journey without fur
ther molestation leaving the fellow in
theditch by the way side.
A modern writer, $ays the Taunton
Advocate, suggests the propriety of
calling tilings by there right names
when presenting our guests with some
kinds of fruit, preserves, &c. The
mistress of a family would lie requir
ed to address her guests somewhat af
ter the follo wing sort:—“ Will you al
low me, madam, to help you to a
cramp in the stomach? “ Sir, I in
sist upon your trying some of that di
arrhoea? “Colonel, there is a fit of
the gout at your finger’s ends—do help
yourself to it.”

ECONOMY IN FEEDING CAT
TLE.
From the New England Farmer.
There is a remarkable difference
in cattle’s eating straw when fresh
threshed, and when it has been thresh
ed several days. But if fresh thresh
ed straw is cut and mixed with hay of
pretty good quality, and the whole
sprinkled with a strong solution of
sak and water, and permitted to lie
in a heap for several days, the mix
ture -will improve in quality.
Much chaff and straw that is often
thrown away, may with a little pains
be made good fodder for cattle, by be
ing mixed with corn stalks cut with a
machine, and sprinkled with fine salt
and water, it the mixture will bear
wetting. The sweetness of the stalks
and hay is imbibed by the chaff and
straw, .and the whuie will make a
compound very agreeable to cattle.
They should not however, be confined
wholly to cal fed food, but have fresh
messes a part of the time.
When young animals are pinched
for food at an early part of then-
growth, or fed with such as is not of a
sufficient good quality, they never
thrive so well, nor make so good stock
afterwards. It is said in Young’s
Eurmer s Calendar, that in “the v\ in
ter the yearlings should ’ be fed with
hay and roots, either turnips, carrots,
potatoes, mangel wurtzel, or ruta ba-
ga, and they should be thoroughly well
fed, and kept perfectly clean by
means of litter- At this age it is
matter of great consequence to keep
such young cattle as ucll as possible;
tor the contrary practice will slop
their growth, which cannot be recov
ered by the. best summer food. If
hay is not to be had, good summer
straw must be substituted, but then
tile roots must be given in greater
plenty ami <wilh more attention. To
steers and heifers tw o years old, the
proper feed is hay, if cheap, or straw,
wllu bans of turnips, cabbages, [iota-
toes, &c. It is not right to keep
yearling calves and two years old to
gether, because in general the young
er cati’ ; are, the better they must be
fed.”
When a farmer is apprehensive that
he has loo much stock for his fodder,
it is best not to stint them in the ir al
lowance as much m the fore part as
in me latter part oi w inter; for cattle
are more liable to be pinched with
cold m December and January than
afterwards vvnon they become habitu
ated to rigorous weather. Adv antage
may also be made of browsing more
in the latter than the fore part of
winter, as the buds begin to svveil and
the twigs have more sap in them than
the early pin t of the season.
if a farmer proposes to feed his cat
tle with potatoes or other roots, it
will be better to give them bmt a
small quantity at first, increasing it
by degrees as they become accustom
ed to that sort of food. It will, like
wise, be better to give them a Utile
every day than a large quantity once
in three or four days or a week.
Potatoes.—The patntoewas at first
positively proscribed in Fiance.—
Baudin relates, that in his time, ite
use was prohibited in Burgundy, be-jg
cause it was supposed to generate*
leprosy 1 It was chiefly through the
exertion of the celebrated chymist
Parmentier, that the prejudices of the
French people against it were re
moved, and that it was brought into
general use among them. Yet even,
as late as the revolution, so little
were the vulgar reconciled to this
species of food,, that Parment ier be
ing proposed for some municipal of-
lice, oue of the voters furiously op
posed him on account of the share
lie had in their introduction—“lie
will make us eat nothiugi but pota
toes,” said he “for it was ho who in
vented them.”-—Mechanics Mag.
