THE COMET.
The Comet I he ie on hie wa),
And singing as he fliea;
The whining pianola shrink before
The spectre of the akiea.
Ah, well may regal orbea burn blue,
And satellites turn pale,—
Ten million cubic miles of heed !
Ten billion leagues of tail!
On, on by whittling spheres of light,
He flashes and he flames;
He turns not to the left or right,
He sake them not their names ;
One spurn from his demoniac heel,—
Away, away they fly,
Where darkness might bo bottled up
And sold for “ Tyrian dye.”
And what will happen to the land,
snd happen to tne sea,
ll', in. the bearded devil's path,
Our earth should chance to hej?
Toll hoi and high the eca should boil,
Full red the forest gleam—
Met bought I saw and heard it all
In a dyspeptic dream.
1 saw a tutor take his tube
The Comet's course to spy;
I heard a scream; the gathered rays
Had stewed the tutor’s eye ;
I looked,—his curious organ rolled
Like a long-perished clam,
I listened,—all I heard him any
IVaa “ parallai” and “ d-mn.”
I saw a poet dip a scroll
Each moment in e tub;
1 read -upon the warping back
“ The dream of Beelzebub
* lie could not ace his verses burn,
Although his brain was fried;
And ever and anon ho bent
To wot them at they dried.
I saws pillow and a eur—
He silcntir drew near,
And siialchml from otf the blackened final,
Hit inat'er’s broiling ear ;
I saw a beggar and a wolf;
Each watched the other's eye :
Each fainted for Ins morning meal.
And both weic loath to die.
I saw a roasting pullet brood
Upon n baking t pg;
I saw a Cliplo scorch hit hands,
Extinguishing his leg;
1 taw ninegeesa upon the wing
Towards the frozen pole,
And every mother's gosling fell
Crlspod to a crackling coal..
I saw the ox thA cropped the grass
Writhe in tho blistering rays;
The herbage in his shrinking raws
Was all a fiory blaze.
I raw huge fishes boiled to rags,
• Bob through tho bubling waves;
. I listened, and 1 heard the dead
f All simmering in their graves I
F Strange sights I Strange sounds I 0 ghastly drasm !
Its memory haunts me still;
The steaming sea, the crimson glare,
That wreathed each wooded hill;
Stunner I if dfor thy slumbering couch
Kucn fearful viaioiia sweep,

AUOUnON THE OHNITIIOI.OOIST.
Mt. Audubon was bom in America, but
won descended Iron) a French Inmily, and tvus
gent early in to receiv'd his education in
Frnn.'o. This would bo sufficiently evident
from the peculiar style of his writings) which
uro fluent and eloquent, but curry evidence
with them that they never proceeded from er.
English pen. It would seem that tho direc
tion in which he has been so successful, were
tgiven to hi* taste in oarly childhood; it must
have buen partly inherited,for the pussion rose
at a period earlier than he can lomcmbcr, and
he tells us llmt his father encouraged it, point
ing out to him the graceful movement and
beautiful forms of birds. There was no need
however, of fanning the flumo; for, from tho
first, he was ttsver happy when removed from
forest and fields, and his chief enjoyment was
to find out the homes of the small birds iu the
green musses of folisge, or to follow tho cur
lew nnd cutniornul to the retreats whore they
sought shelter from the fury of tho storm. To
look upon their eggs in the downy nest, or on
the burning sands, and to trace their history
from the shell through all their migrations and
changes, was then, as it is now, the favorite
desire of Ins heart. It might seem a danger
ous thing in a parent to encourage a taste
which was already so strong, and whioh, if it
became engrossing, threatened to interfere ao
much with the more practical pursuits of life.
He wae probably willing that hi* eon should
make this the business of bis life, and appears
to have taken judicious caro to impress upon
his ebild, that all the admiration nnd lovo
which nature inspires, should reimud us of
]lm> who made it. ,
He was desirous of keeping these subjects
of study always before turn; but he found no
satisfaction in looking upon stuffed birds of
Collections, which, like the Egyptian mum
mies, retain but a small portion of their living
atn action. These would not onawer, aud the
beauties of their plumage seemed to him ns
perishable at sunset clouds, till his lather, st
the proper lime, set before him a book of illus
trations. Thu awakened a new ambition,nnd
be determined to rival, and if possible, excel
what be saw. But h« wee obliged to go through
the usual discipline; his fust efforts seemed
like caricatures, snd every new advance he
maJe, rendered him discontented with whit
ho bud done before. It is a grievous thing to
men to be compelled to laugli at bit awn pro-
ditctious, because he feels that another year's
improvement rosy render his present efforts
ns ludicrous to himself es the former. But
this is one of the evidences of real taste and
-.talent, ll shows that the standard of excel-
hjnee la the artist’* mind is sal high, and this
is an advantage both in youth end manhood;
Tor the moment one begins to be satisfied with
his own productions, be shows that he has
lost hia enthusiastic desire to improve—a de
sire which forms the inspirotion of genius, nnd
without which no one ever was great.
While receiving Iris education in France,
from wiiich country lie returned at tho age oi
soventoen, Mr. Audubon took lessons in draw
ing from David, which, though the subjects
were not such as ho would have chosen for
himself, doubtless, gave him mi ease nnd free
dom with the hand and eye, which lie found of
great advantage. He immediately commen
ced the great undertaking, which is now well
known to the world. Ills father gave him an
estate on the Scuylkill,—a restdenco well
suited to bis purpose, end bore he says, it was
bis constant practice to commenco his ram
bles at duy break, it being his happiness and
triumph to return wet with dew, with the bird
which was to ornament his page. Those who
nre acquainted with birds, know how much
they are in tho habit of following the coarse
of rivers in their pcriodicnl journeys, arid that
u diligent observer, near one oi' our larger
streams, will be likely to see nearly all tho in-
lund birds. But it was not enough for him to
know their forms; ho wished to lenrn their
history iu every particular; and to gain this in
formation, he undertook long and hazardous
expeditions, being sometimes absent from his
family for years, engaged in exploring prairies
mountains, lakes, nnd seas. We snid, that he
was from the beginning engaged in this under
taking; but we must not give tho impression
that lie had in view the publication before us,
on the contrary, he assures us that lie was led
onward solely by the love of the pursuit, from
which he derived constant gratification. Ills
friends wero as earnest ns those of Job, to
convince him llmt lie was much to blame; und
ho cunfessos llmt nny one who saw Ins habits,
might Imve supposed bint negligent ol every
domestic duly; hut Ins with und children, who
ware certainly most interested in his move
ments, did not join in the censure. They will
now ho rewarded for their forbcurancc, by en
joying the r< ilecliuq of Ins linne.
Jiotv much lie wus in curnest in hia ram
bles, appears from bis account of a visit to
Ntuguru, in which lie has given a picture of
►himself, us life like,'as nny ofhis colored if
lustrations. He hud been wandering near the
lakes fur months, nnd was returning with his
drawings of plants and birds. The last vos-
Inge of his linen had long ogo bocn devoted to
tile purpose of cleaning Ills gun; he was dres
sed like ono of the poorest Indians; liis beard
covered Ins neck, and his hair flowed down
his buck, ins leathern raiment was crying loud
ly for repair; a large knifo hung at his side, and
a worn out blanket, containing his tin box of
drawings, ivus buckled to his shoulders. In
this guise ho walked into the public bouse,
and deinunded bruuklust, ull present being
utnazed to hear from such a figure uny thing
ihul denoted a resemblance to civilized man.
The landlord seemed anxious to secure him as
a lion, und lie hud in fact come for the sake of
sketching tliu Full; but he tnudu n discovery
which may well be published for tho benefit
of painters, viz : 'l lmt from u miniature pic
lute of such u scene, no very impressive tdoa
can ho given of the extent ortho sound. It
would suve many u painting, in which the fal
ling occult dwindles to a mill dam.
The idea of making a collection for publi
cation never suggested itself to Air. Audubon,
till ho visited l'mludulphin in 1824, on his wuv
to llm East curd through tho Atlunitc States.
Ho was then u stranger to ull but Dr. Mease,
who introduced him to tho well-known Charles
Uontqiurle, whose name wo observe is some
limes decorated with u title, though we doubt
not ho looks to scieuco for his most honorable
distinctions. From Philadelphia he proceed
ed Iu New York, where be was received with
flattering attention, tmd alter ascending the
Hudson,traversed the grout western lakes,mu-
king probably the lour to which we Imve just
alluded. Tho thoughtof publishing tu the world
the results of his lubois, supplied him with n
new inspiration und a more definite object; to
tho thought of u solitary individual like him
self, gaintug a imtno in tho old world by his la
borious pilgrimagos through tho desert regions
of the ttew, catne in aid ofhis attachment to
nature. He thought of it by day, aud dream
ed off it by night; und by constantly endeavor
ing to bring Ins designs to porfeciton,succeed
ed at last to lus owu satisfaction and the sur
prise of others, wo tty to their surpise,because
wo nre not in the hubit of seeing one man
make himself familiar with ctcry subject of
science nnd inquire into all its purttculurs, in
any other way tliatt by aludying at home, and
depending in part on tho authority of others.
simplicity of her dress, the serious solemnity
of her people, and above ull their form of wor
ship, were calculated to muke a deep and lust
ing impression on the mind. He was worthy
of her love : young, pleasing, and fascinating
manners ; and never were two hearts linked
together that received mure sincere good wish
es than this young and lovely pair.
Again 1 saw them ; it was kneeling 6ido by
sido at the altar of religion. They have bow
ed their heads beforo the cross, utid promise
to become the followers of the meek and lowly
Jesus. Years rolled on; their hotoio was a
paradise; it was the abode of innocence and
peace. But at length there came a change.
Poor F- ——• was persuaded to become a
politician. Ilia tulools were loudly applauded ;
lie became the leader of a party ; then catne
luto hours, sleepless nights, and F in
his multiplicity of engagements, forgot his
God uud the comforts ofhis quite home.
For several yours I lost sight of him. He
was tossed ubuul upon tho wavo of popularity;
disappointment followed disappointment; he
had not a mind to bear up against the adverse
winds of misfortune, und it was not to he won
dered at that Ins vessel was wrecked. About
seven years alter my acquaintance with this
then interesting pair, 1 was called upon by the
friend of F Ho observed that he

und been conliued for several days. He had
expressed a wish to see tne; nnd liis wife,
stepped into her post chaise and proceeded on
her journoy. She had scarcely reached Finch-
ly Common, when a highwayman stopped the
chaise, and demanded Iter money. He entrea
ted her not to be alarmed, ns ho had no inten
tion upon her person—if *he surrendered her
property, it was oil lie wanted, declaring that
distress und not his will urged him to tbir des
perate acl, and bo was determined to remove
his penury, or perish. The Indy give her purse
and the desperado rode oil'. After he was
gone, and the fright hud subsided the lady ima
gined llmt in liie address of the highwayman,
she recognized the voice of the glover she had

so forcible, that sho ordered the post boy to
drive back to town, not choosing she said to
venture further over the heath. On her arrival
ut the glovers, she knocked and gained admit

Tho lady desired to speak with him in private.
The glover showed her to a back parlor when
she exclaimed, “ 1 am come for my purse, of
which you robbed mo this evening on Finchley
Common!” The glover wns confounded; and
the lady proceeded-" It is of no use, for you to
deny it; 1 am convinced your life is at my mer
cy. Return my property and trust my human

and conlhsion, returned the purse, confessed
'tbO'Crime, and pleaded his distress. The lady
after some suitable admonitions, gave him a

with such a thump upon the bible with his

On reaching tho end of his second head, he
looked down for his third slip ; but aljs ! it

dertaking. They do not think it necessary at this late
■lay—a day which is shedding its light andglory,'with
such general and invigorating paper over .our whole
body politic, to enter elaborately and minutely into d
detail of their political views and opinions. Indeed, to
do so, would he virtually offering an insult to ll.' good

to them, so welt calculated to produce this result, as
the opposition which will he shortly exerted, iu this

they uo not deprecate, but rather cherish, knowing
that an honorable and liberal opposition,will tend to stim
ulate them to the performance of Ihcir duty, whilst they
hope it will rally to their support, their fi lends, and the
friends of the party, for whose interest and prosperity
they aro determined to devoteevery honorable exertion.
The editors have engaged among the r correspon

Great promisos are, however, at best, but cheap

in launching forth tlacir little barque upon iho

PROSPECTUS

GEORGIA GAZETTE:
A FAPSfl TO BE rUDLlSUCD WEEKLY, AT ATHENS, CA. •
I N issuing proposals fdr publishing a new paper in
this section of the country, reason and duty would
sccmto combine, to invite from us some exposition of
the circumstances which have urged us to the attempt,
as well as a brief outlincof the principles by which we
will be governed in our course. This task we perform
cheerfully.
Tho population of the State is rapidly increasing; her
system of Infernal Improvement at its nascent period
of existence; her jurisdictional limits actually and pros
pectively extending; her chartered rights and Indian
relationships assuming new and deeply interesting as
pects; and her financial resources presenting to her
sons the appalling alternslive of oppression in future by
burthensome taxes, or bankruptcy without some solti.
lary change in Her representative apportionment, all
combine to redder an additional Herald of intelligence
to the present number altogether proper.
Bot these by no means constitute the whole cata
logue of inducements. Ours is palpably a government
in experiment. The principles and terms upon which
it was based, weru professedly novel, and by conse
quence it would bo fairto assert (list they were not al
together understood. The progress of events has de
monstrated this truth. The constitutionality of a na
tional Bank; a system of Internal Improvement by
Congress; the power to tux foreign import* for the
E rotection of domestic industry; in short the whole fa
ne of implication, remains yet to undergo its final and
legitimate analysis. They are topics which must agi
tate, and that deeply, every patriotic bosom in tho con
federacy. To maintain the honor and rights of tho
State under her constitutional reservation;; to remon
strate with promptitude and firmness of put pose against
all infractions of the compact, and to preserve the
Union by enlightened discussion or rational compro
mise, according to the plan of Jcflerson and Jackson,
shall be our constant aim. Our columns shall also
contain as far as practicable, important item* of intel
ligence in the departments of morals, literature, and
science. Iu our Stale politics it would be impossible
under our present impressions, to adopt the principles
of the Troup parly in moat of its measures.
