When from the wreck he cainc, And in his arms a smiling babe Still toying with the flame The mother's ruptur’d tears Forth like a torrent sped, Yet ere the throng could learn his name, That noble tar had fled.

COMPARISON OF TIIE CUM ATE OF EUROPE ANI) AMERICA. BV NX P. WILMS. It is almost a matter of course to de cry the climate of England. The Eng lish writers themselves talk of the suit i dal months, and it is the only country where a part of the livery of a mounted groom is his master’s great coat strapped about his waist.—lt is certainly a damp climate, and the sun shines Jess in Eng land than in most other countries. Rut to persons of full habit, this moisture in the air is extremely agreeable ; and the high condition of animals in England, from inan downwards, proves its health-1 fulness. ' A stranger who has been aeons- j tomed to a brighter sky. will at first, find ! a gloom in the gray light so character istic of an English atmosphere, luit this soon wears oft'and he limis a compensa tion as far as the eye is concerned, in the exquisite softness of the verdure, and the deep and enduring brightness of the foliage. The effect of this moisture on the skin is singularly grateful. The pores become accustomed to a healthy action, i which is unknown in other countries;! and the bloom by which the English com plexion is known all over the world, is j the iudex of an activity in this important part of the system, which, when first ex- j perienced, is almost alike anew sensa tion. The transition to a dry climate,! such as ours, deteriorates the condition j and quality of the skin, and produces a! feeling, it 1 may so express it, like that of j being glazed. It is a remark in England, that an officer's wife and daughters follow his regiment to Canada at the expense of their complexions : and it is a well know n fact that the bloom of beauty is, in our country, painfully evanescent. The climate of America is, in many j points very different front that of Franco! and Great Britain. 111 tlio middle and | notheru dates it is a drv, invigorating, bracing climate, in wliieli a strung man may do more work than in almost any ) other, anil which makes continual exer- • rises, or occupation, of some sort, abso lutely necessary. With the exception of tlie “Indian Summer,” and here and there a day scattered through the spring and the hot months there is no weather tem pered so finelv that one would think of passing the dav in merely enjoying it, and life is passed by those who have the misfortune to he idle, in continual and active dread of the elements. Tlie cold is «o acid, and the heat so sultry, and the changes from one to tlie other ate so sod den and violent, that no enjoyment can he depended upon out of doors, and no system of clothing or protection is good for a day together. lie who has foil oc cupation for lt°:td and hand, (as by far lliogreStest majority of our countrymen have,) mav live as long in America as in any portion of the globe—vide the bills of mortality. He whose spirits lean up on the temperature of the I, or whose nerves require, a genial and constant at mosphere, may find more favorable cli mates ; and tlie habits and delicate con stitutions of scholars arid pr pin of m>- dentat '."pursuitsgcnerall. in the U. Slab -q prove the truth of observations. The habit of regtilaV'exercise in tire o pen air which is found to be so salutary in England, is scarcely possible in Airier- 1 ica. It is said, and said truly, of the first, that there is 110 day in the year when a -• 1 !y may not ride comfortably on horse* ■ bacV, but with us, the extremes of heat and coin, and the tempestuous character ot our -nows atyd rain, totally forbid to a d‘ icatt ji'-ryoi), any thinglike regularity fri e.v m-' I’te* consequence i« tiiat the j habit rarely exists, and the high glowing . health so common in England, and con- I sequent no doubt upon the equable char acter of the climate in some measure, is | with us sufficiently rare to excite remarks. “Very English looking,” is a common phrase, and means wry healthy looking. Still our people fast — and though 1 should j define the English climate as the one in 'which the human frame is in the highest J condition, 1 should say of America, that Jit is the one in which you can get the most work out of it. Atmosphere in England and America, is the first of the necessaries of life. In Italy it is the first of its luxuries. We j breathe and w alk abroad, without think ing of these common acts but as means iof arriving at happiness. In Italy, to j breath and w alk abroad are themselves happiness. Day after day—week after week—month after month—you wake with the breath of flowers coining in at your open window, and a sky of serene and unfathomable blue, and mornings and evenings of tranquil, assured, heavenly purity and beauty. The few weeks of the rainy seasons are forgotten in these long halcyon months of sunshine. No one can have lived in Italy a year, who remembers any thing but the sapphire sky and the kindling and ever seen stars. You grow insensibly to associate the sunshine and moonlight only with the fountain you have lived near, or the columns of the i temple you have seen from \oiir window, for no objects in other lands have you' seen their light so constant. R apidity or Comhixk: \tio\. —We have been permitted to make extracts from the official logbook kept at the Liver pool Telegraph-office, and by it. we are in possession of instances of extraordi nary rapidity of communication exactly at tint* o’clock, through the whole line from Liverpool to llolvhead, in order that the different signal-men may regu late their time-pieces ; this is done by a I peculiar signal made exactly as the clock | strikes one, which notifies the time, and ; ask the question, “Is (here any thing to re- 1 ; port !” An acknowledgment or answer I to this is returned, either “ Yes” or “No,” j las the case may he. The distance from j Liverpool to Holyhead, from station to ; station, is 7"2 miles, hence there and hack, 144 miles, and this signal arid answer is considered unusually long if it occupies! one minute. Wc find from the extract I above-mentioned, that the month of Sep tember, in which, by the by, weliavelndi j much stormy and bad weather, this sig nal has been seen on IS different days ; j tin: distance (lie signal must have passed in those Its times must lie miles,! which has been done m the incredibly' short space ol Hi minutes and ,7 seconds, 1 being an au rago of Hi miles per minute In 17 of the days mentioned, the distance "**>4-1W miles, the time occupied was 1 ! minutes, .7 seconds, a\erago 17.7 miles per minute. In I I of the shortest peri ods, the distance was 1,554 miles, time, occupied 7 minutes, .7 seconds, \!'Js miles per minute. In taking (lie five quickest communica tions during the month we liml the dis tance to have been 7“i> miles, the time occupied ‘2 minutes HI) seconds, being an average ot '230 miles per minute. The shortest time during the month was on the Kith, when the signal passed, and the answer was returned in '2-7 seconds. When it is considered that there are 1 1 different telegaaph stations, and only one man at each station, this will appear the more extraordinary, and speaks favorably ot the management of Lieutenant Watson, under whose superintendence the tele graph was first established, and still con tinues.

We occasionally hear of a simpering doable refined young lady boasting that she never labored, and could not for the fife of her make a pudding, as though ignorance of these matters was a mark of gentility, and a leaning towards European nobility. There can lie no greater proof of silly arrogance than such remarks ; for the especial benefit of such we would kindly inform them that Mad ame de Heidis supported the family of , the Duke de Orleans (and among them is the present reigning monarch of France) in Loudon, by the sale of her drawings, one of the Duchesses of the same court maintained herself and husband at Rath by teaching a music school,and the Queen herself kept her family by plaiting bonnets. These examples we hope, will have their influence, where examples, of our own good country women would be spurned as v ulgar republican morals. - Maxims. —Concise maxims, like the following, if they do not always sparkle with wit, are generally replete with what is far more valuable, wisdom. Treat every man with civility, but very few vvitli familiarity. The theory of virtue is good, bnt the practice is a great deal better. Give praise where praise is due, hut deal out censure with a sparing hand. l’ay your debts of sin at different times. A death-bed repentance is too great a sum to pay at once. When you mean to do a good action, do not deliberate about it. Truth is clothed in vvlute * but a lie comes lbrth w ith all the the colors of the rainbow. It is observed in those countries where God does most for man, that man does least for himself. It is often more politic to give money than to lend it. “Tvi.kino Turkey.” The exact sig- ' 1 nilication of this phrase has recently been discussed by some of our cotemporaries, and has been finally settled by the Oneida Democrat, which gives an account ot its origin. An Indian and a white man! went a shooting in partnership, and a wild turkey and a crow were all the result of the day’s toil. The white man, in the! usual style of making a bargain with the Indian, proposed a division of the spoils in this way : “Now, Wampum, you may! have choice, you take the crow and I'll take the turkey, or if you’d rather I’ll take the turkey and you take the crow.”— \\ ampmu reflected a moment on the gen erous alternative thus offered, and replied | —T'gli! you no talk turkey to me a Lit.’ Latin' vs. Lvw. An English divine, in the year ISKiI, brought a suit against Ids parishioners for amount of expenses incurred by paving the road leading to) liis church, and recovered the full amount by compiling in the following classical manner, with a requisition of the court, that ho would prove the legality of his j claim from the holy scriptures. “/V --ant ill! non parcam ego,'’ said the man 1 of God, which lie translated thus: “they are to pave the church yard, am! not I.” ExTßAonniN vi: v Fact.

We have newspa pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets ot all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have severally their classes of readers and support ers. And yet copious as are these means of intellectual supply, more are still needed. In addition to the review., of the day and passing notices of books, the people in large numbers, in all parts of our great republic crave the pos session of tlie books themselves, anti details, ile yond mere passing allusion, of the progress of discovery in art and science. But though it be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it is not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis tance from the emporium of literature, engross ing occupations which prevent personal appli cation ofeven messages to libraries and book sellers, are so many causes to keep people a v. ay from the feast of reason and the enjoyment <d’the covered literary aliment It is the ob ject of the publishers of the Library to obviate these difficulties, and to enable every individ ual. at a small cost and without any personal effort, to obtain for his own use and that of his lavored friends or family, valuable works, com plete, on all the branches of useful wild popular literature, and that in a form adapted to the coinfort of the reader. The charm of variety, as far as it is compati ‘ hie with morality and good taste, will be held constantly in view in conducting the Library, 1 to iill the pages of which the current literature of Groat Britain, in all its various departments • of biography, history, travels, novels and poe try, shall be freely put under contribution.— With perchance occasional exceptions, it is in tended to give entire the work which shall be selected for publication. When circumstances authorize the measure, recourse will be had to i the literary stores of Continental Europe, and 1 translations made from French, Italian or Ger man, ns the case may be. Whilst the body of the work will be a reprint, i or at times a translation of entire volumes, the cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character of a magazine, and consist of sketches of men ! and tilings, and notices of novelties in literature | and the arts throughout the civilized ivorld.— ! A full and regular supply of the literary, month -1 ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain ! and Ireland, in addition to home pi riodicals of i a similar character, cannot fail to provide am ple materials for this part of our work. The resources and extensive correspondence ; of the publishers are the best guarantee for the continuance of the enterprize in which they are about to embark, as well as for the abun dance of the materials to give it value in the eyes of the public.

THE LADIES COMPANION, a month ly periodical, commenced on the broad grounds of diffusing general information, far j and wide—at a price, which is within the reach jof all classes of the community. The plan has : succeeded beyond the most sanguine anticipa ! tioiis of the proprietor. The first number was j issued to the public, with only seventeen names of subscribers, and at this day it boasts of a cir ■ dilation nearly double that of any monthly Magazine in America; and is daily increasing, at an average of twenty subscribers. In tlie pages of the Ladies Companion, every class of readers will find that w nich will tend' to their enjoyment; tales, of every nature,pathetic and humorous; choice essays and sketches by the best writers of the day ; literary and scientific intelligence; copious extracts from American and English Annuals; strictures on the drama I and fine arts ; notices of all the new publications las they issue from the press; translations from the French, Spanish, Greek, German, Italian and Hebrew languages; original and selected poetry; original music and Engravings, with tine wood cuts and patterns of embroidery ol 1 every description, independent of r.n immense variety of miscellaneous articles on every sub ject of the least interest to the most casual reader, embracing passing events ; biographi j cal sketches of noted individuals ; discoveries ‘in the arts and sciences, tVc. &e. Ac.; accounts , of colleges and American institutions ; sketches i from scenery of our own country ; public as semblies, painting, popular lectures, speakers , and authors ; view of olden times of tlie city of ! gotham; Broadway Analyzed; comments on I Good Society, «Xe. «!kc. Embellished monthly i with a splendid Steel Engraving ; popular mu ! sic—original and selected ; and Embroidery for j the working of lace patterns. In short nothing ! required to insure interest, amusement, or the J improvement of the mind in the pages of the ! Ladies Companion, will be wanting on the ! part of the proprietor, and it will be— i “With sweetest flowers enrich’d, From various gardens cull’d with care.” | Articles from the pens of the first authors in i cither Europe or America have appeared in the pages of the Ladies Companion, during the two j last volumes, without reference to expense, too numerous to name, which stamps it the cheap ; est anil most diversified periodical issued in A inerica Negotiations have been commenced with an i additional nii.ilu r of popular writers, for origi ! nal contributions for the ensuing year, among j them are— E.

With these views, everything j operating injuriously to morals or religion have : been studiously avoided and not allowed a place | in the Magazine; for, we hold those men as j traitors to their country, who would seek to de j stroy the pure doctrines of virtue and religion, j either by open opposition or secret intrigue. | la sustaining the literary character of the La . ! dies Companion, the proprietor will not confine | himself to the mere task of pleasing, without i imparting vigor to the mind ; but will endeavor Ito present both, that which will be attractive *to superficial readers, as well as that which will furnish subjects for re flee Lion to the stu j dent. No work in America "pre si nts its sub j strikers with such a melenge of invaluable reading as the Ladies Companion, for its ex | tremely low price (three dollars a year:) and I letters are continually being received from Eu- I rope, inquiring how it is possible for n periodi cal to he issued at such a small rate, which i proves its undeniable claims to the support of the American people, particularly those of the state id New Y ork ami adjacent mu s. It is not generally k> e.vn to the public'that i each number of the Ladies CetTip mioii cOn ‘ tains more reading than any other Magazine in America; and its subscription price is two dol i firs less than those issued in New York. A > single page contains more than two pages of the other Magazines, mid some of them three. I Tile terms are three do’lars a year, payable in advance, and no subscription taken for less ; than one year.
