ODE TO MURAT.
BY BYRON.
And thou too, of the snow-white plume!
Whose realm refused thee ev’n a tomb;
Better hadst thou still bceu leading
France o’er hosts of hirelings bleeding,
Than sold thyself to death and shame
For a meanly royal name;
Such as he of Naples wears;
Who thy blood-bought title bears.
Little didst thou deem when dashing
On thy war-horse through the ranks,
Like a stream which burst its banks,
While helmets cleft, and sabres clashing,
Shone and shiver’d fast around thee—
Os the fate at last which found thee;
Was that haughty plume laid low
By a slave’s dishonest blow?
Once—as the Moon sways o’er the tide,
It roll'd in air, the warrior's guide;
Through the smoke-created night
Os the black and sulphurous fight,
The soldier raised his seeking eye
To catch that crest's ascendancy,—
And, as it onward rolling rose,
So moved his heart upon our foes.
There, where death's brief pang was quick
est,
And the battle’s wreck lay thickest,
Strew'd beneath the advancing banner
Os the eagle's burning crest—
(There with thunder-clouds to fan her.)
Who could then her wing arrest—
Victory beaming from her breast?
While the broken line enlarging
Fell, or fled along the plain;
There be sure wag Murat charging!
There he ne’er shall charge again!
MI§CELLAiI Y.
The following little tale is none the
worse for being old:
Tiie Discontented Pendulum. An
old clock that had stood for forty years in
a farmer’s kitchen without giving its own
er any cause of complaint, early one Sum
mer's morning, before the family was stir
ring, suddenly stopped. Upon this the j
dial plate—if we may credit the fable— j
changed countenance with alarm; the!
wheels remained motionless with surprise;
the weights hung speechless; each mem
ber felt disposed to lay the blame on the
others. At length the dial instituted a
formal inquiry as to the cause of the stag
nation, when hands, wheels and weights
with one voice protested their innocence.
But now a faint tick was heard below
from the pendulum, who thus spake: ‘I
confess myself to he the sole cause of the
present stopping, and I am willing, for the
general satisfaction, to assign my reason.
The truth is that I am tired of ticking.’
Upon hearing this, the old clock became
so enraged that it was on the very point
of striking. ,
‘Lazy wire!’ exclaimed the dial plate, (
holding up its hands. ‘Very good!’ re
plied the pendulum. ‘lt is vastly easy
for you, Mistress Dial, who, as every bo
dy knows, have always set yourself above j
me—it is vastly easy for you, I say, to
accuse other people of laziness—you,
who have nothing to do all the days of
vour life but to stare people in the face,
and to amuse yourself with watching all
that is going on in the kitchen. Think,
I beseech you; how you would like to he
shut up for life in this dark closet, and
wag backwards and forwards year after
year as I do.’
‘As to that,’ said the dial, ‘is there not
a window in your house on purpose for
you to look through?’ ‘For all that,’ re
sumed the pendulum,* it is very dark here;
and, although there is a window, I dare
not stop even for an instant to look at it.
Besides, lam really tired of my way of
life, and if you wish I’ll tell you how I
took this disgust at my employment. I
happened this morning to be calculating
how many times I should have to tick in
the course of only the next twenty-four
hours. Perhaps some of you above there
can give me the exact sum.’
The minute hand, being quick at figures,
presently replied, ‘Eighty-six thousand
four hundred times.’— ‘Exactly so,’ replied
the pendulum. ‘Well, I appeal to you all
if the very thought of this was not enough
to fatigue one. And, when I began to
: multiply the strokes of one day by those
jol months and years, really it is no won
der if I felt discouraged at the prospect;
so after a great deal of reasoning and hes
itation, thinks I to myself I’ll stop.’
The dial could scarcely keep its coun
tenance during this language, hut resum
ing its gravity thus replied: ‘Dear Mr.
Pendulum, I am really astonished that
such a useful, industrious person as your
self should have been overcome by this
sudden action. It is true you have done a
great deal of work in your time—so have
we all, and are likely to do, which, al
though it may fatigue us to think of, the
question is whether it will fatigue us to do.
Would you now do me the favor to give
, about half a dozen strokes, to illustrate
! my argument?’
The pendulum complied, and ticked six
i times in its usual pace. ‘Now,’ resumed
; the dial, ‘I ntay be allowed to inquire if
that exertion was at all fatiguing or disa
greeable to you?’—‘Not in the least,’ re
plied the pendulum. ‘lt is not of six
strokes that I complain, nor of sixty, hut
of millions.’—Very good,’ replied the di
al; ‘hut recollect that though you may
think of a million strokes in an instant,
you are required to execute hut one, and
j that however often you may hereafter have
|to swing, a moment will always he given
| you to swiug in.’—‘That consideration
staggers me, I confess,’ said the pendulum.
‘Then I hope,’ resumed the dial plate, ‘we
shall all immediately return to our duty,
for the maids will lie in bed if we stand J
idling thus.’
• UjKm this the weights, who had ucver
been accused of light conduct, used all
their influence in urging him to proceed,
when as with one consent the wheels be
gan to turn, the hands began to move, the
peudelum began to swing, and to its cred
it ticked as loud as ever, while a red beam
of the rising sun that streamed through a
hole in the kitchen shining full upon the
dial plate, it brightened up as if nothing
had been the matter.
COUSIN.
The subjoined description of this dis
tinguished French Philosopher, we copy
j from the Notes of a traveller in France,
front which occasionally appear
| in Zion’s Herald.
In a part of the palace is the chamber
of Peers. The Hall of the sessions is
splendidly decorated with carpets and pic
tures from the ‘Gobelins.’ The notable
characters here are however its chief at
traction. Some of the most scientific men
of the age, as well as distinguished states
men are among them. The most interest
ing member to me is Cousin, the meta
physician. He is a tall, thin man, about
fifty years of age. His face is long and
shallow, shaded with a contemplative mel
ancholy. His eyes, which form the most
marked feature of his countenance, are
exceedingly large and expressive. He is
not only an acute thinker, hut an eloquent
declaimer. Oratory is much more studied
ill France than formerly, *iwl tlio absurd
impression somewhat extensive in our own
laud that depth of mind cannot combine
with high oratorical powers, is exploded
here, for the most profound men of
France are likewise her greatest orators.
Cousin seems wrapt in inspiration when
he speaks. His subjects are the most ab
stract and profound, but such is his famili
arity with his science, that lie usually dis
cusses them extemporaneously. Not only
his mind, hut his whole frame seems im
bued with his subject; hands, bead, eyes,
voice, and every feature gives force to what
he says, while a style rich and fluent like
‘The liquid lapse of murmuring stream,'
gives a charm to the thought of the dryest
metaphysical character. When he was
active in the duties of his chair his elo
quence filled France with interest. One
writer says that he lectured extemporane
ously to audiences of five or six thousand
hearers, and his discourses were reported
for the papers with as much regularity as
the proceedings of the Chambers.
Cousin is a Christian. His philosophy
has driven him to religion. He reveres
revelation, and all its great facts which
were denied by his predecessors, are ac
knowledged by him. ‘I never,’ says one
who heard him, ‘I never shall forget the
animated dignity with which he made pro
fession of his beliefin Christianity. Con
scious that the majority of his brother stt
cans, and perhaps of his audience, in heart,
if not openly, would be inclined to sneer,
and that his reputation as a philosopher
| and among philosophers, was at stake, he
seemed to erect his person, elevate his
voice, and expand each glowing feature,
as if in noble defiance of expected obloquy.
! He is accused by his enemies of a tenden
cy to the exploded tenets of Plato; which
means in reality, I suppose, a tendency to
the spiritual and truly intellectual doc
j trines of revelation. His lecture lasted
j more than an hour and a half; and though
it was in a foreign language, and required
1 therefore the closest application on my
part, my attention was not suffered to flag
a moment.’
[From the Metropolitan.]
Coleridge. —“Coleridge,” says Mr.
Gillman, “began the use of opium from
I bodily pain, (rheumatism,) and for the
same reason continuing it till he had ac
! quired a habit too difficult under his own
j management to control. To him it was
the thorn in the flesh, which will be seen
in the following notes:”
| “I have never loved evil " for its own
sake: no! nor never sought pleasure for
its own sake, but only as the means of
escaping from pains that coiled around
, the body and wings of an eagle! My sole
sensuality was not to be in pain.”—Note
from Pocket Book, “The History of my
own Mind for my own Improvement.”
Dec. 23d, 1804.
“1 wrote a few stanzas three-and-twen
tv years ago, soon after my eyes had been
opened to the true nature of the habit in
to which I had been ignorantly deluded
by the seeming magic effect of opium, in
the sudden removal of a supposed rheu
matic affection, attended with swellings
in my knees, and palpitations of the heart,
and pains all over me, by which I had been
bed-ridden for nearly six months. Unhap
pily, among my landlord’s books were a
large parcel of Medical Reviews and
( Magazines. I had always a fondness (a
common case, but most mischievous turn
with reading men who are at all dyspep
tic) for dabbling in medical writings; and
in one of these reviews met a case which
I fancied very much like iny own, in
j which a cure had been effected by the
Kendal black drop. In an evil hour I pro
cured it:—it worked miracles—the swell
ing disappeared, the pains vanished; I was
all all around me being as ig
norant as myself, nothing could exceed
my triumph. -1 talked of nothing else,
prescribed the newly discovered panacea
for all complaints, and carried a bottle
about with me, not to lose any opportuni
ty of administering instant relief and
speedy cure to all coinplaincrs, stranger
or friend, gentle or simple. Need I say
that my own apparent convalescence was
of no long continuance; but what then? the
remedy was at hand, and infallible. Alas!
it is with a bitter smile, a laugh of gall and
bitterness, that I recal this period of
unsuspecting delusion, and how I first be
came aware of the maelstrom, the fatal
whirlpool; to which I was drawing, just i
when the current was already beyond my
strength to stern. * * * *
“From that moment I was the victim
of pain and terror; nor had I at any time
taken the flattering poison as a stimulus, i
or for any craving after plcasureablc sen- <
sations. I needed none and oh! with j
what unutterable sorrow did I read the I
“Confessions of an Opium eater,” in I
which the writer, with morbid vanity, i
makes a boast of what was my misfortune, I
for he had been faithfully, and with an '
agonv of zeal, warned of the gulf, and
yet willingly struck into the current! Hea- j
veil be merciful to him!"—April. 182(5. i
These arc awful words—we shudder'
and tremble as we read them.
S’ti Astley Cooper. —ln Pettigrew’s*
Medical Portrait Gallery, part v, lately
published in London, are the following
amusing anecdotes of the celebrated sur
geon, Sir Astley Cooper:
‘ He received, perhaps, the largest fee j
ever given at one time for an operation, j
It was upon an old gentleman named Hy
att, who was a resident in the West Indies,
and, when arrived at the age of seventy, j
being afflicted with stone in the bladder, j
determined on going to England, to un
dergo an operation for its removal. He !
selected Sir Astley for the occasion.
was performed with his accustomed abil
ity; and upon visiting him one day when j
able to quit lis«bed, he observed to his
surgeon that he had feed his physician, \
hut that he had not yet remunerated his i
surgeon. lie desired to know the amount 1
of his debt, and Sir Astley staled ‘two
hundred guineas!’ ‘Pooh, pooh!’ exclaim
ed the old gentleman, ‘I shan’t give you
two hundred guineas; there, that is what
I will give you,’ taking oft* his night cap,
and tossing it to Sir Astley.—'Thank you,
sir,’ said Sir Astley, ‘any thing fromyou
is acceptable;’ and he put the cap into his
pocket. Upon examination it was found
to contain a check for one thousand guin
eas.”
“One other anecdote must he related as
| singularly illustrative of character. Mr.
! Steer consulted Sir Astley at his own rcs
i ideflee, and having received his advice,
I departed without giving the usual fee.
! Sir Astley took no notice of this, but gave
| his assistance to him cheerfully, under a
feeling that he was a gentleman who had
i seen better days, and was now in indiffer
ent circumstances. Shortly after, how-
I ever, Sir Astley received a note acquaint
-1 ing him that in going to the stock exchange,
! he found that he had some omnium, which
;he had not disposed of, and that he had
i taken the liberty to put 3,000/. of it in his
name; and finding that it had sooh after
risen, he took the further liberty of selling
it for him, and now sent the difference,
which was 93/. 10s.
“Sir Astley’s annual amount of fees far
exceeds that of any member of thepro-
I Cession. In one year he received no less
| a sum than 21,000/, and for many years,
: from l.»,000/. upwards.—Mis patients have
: comprised all classes of society, and his
attention was equally bestowed on the
! wealthy and the indigent.”

I Grog. —The etymology of the word
grog lias bceu the subject of much con
jecture. An English publication treats
this difficult question of philology in the
following manner:
•“Some trace the word to old Admiral
Benbow who wore what was termed a
program jacket, and hence obtained the
l name of old Grog. In some ofhisdnrieg
actions he refreshed liisuieu with rum and
: water, which ever afterwards retained the
title. Others assert thqt a planter of Ja
; maica wishing to send a puncheon of real
good stuff’to George the Second, marked
upon the head G. R. O. G. lor George Rex,
Old Gemakce. Another anecdote refers
to the well known act of‘tapping the Gov
ernor.’ Monsieur Guilluaine Roussel,
Governor of Guadaloitpc, died, and was
shipped in a cask of rum for Europe. On
the puncheon was painted 'Guilluaine
Roussel, obit, Gundaloupe;’ and round the
leaf that was nailed over the bun:'' the ini
tials G. R. O. G. On her passage, the
vessel was captured by the English; and
the jolly Jacks, without knowing the actu
al contents, soon sucked the Governor dry
When they appeared rather out of order .

Printer’s Proverbs. Never inquire
thou of an editor for the news, for behold
it is his duty at the a|q>oiuted time to give
it to thcc without asking.
When thou dost write for his paper,
never say unto him, ‘what thinkest thou
of my piece?’ for it may he that the truth
might offend thee.
It is not lit that thou shouldst ask of him,
who is the author of an article: for his du
ty requires hun to keep such things to
himself
When thou dost enter into a printing
office, have a care unto thyself, that thou
dost not touch the type, for thou myd’st
cause the printer much trouble.
Look not at the copy which is in the
hands of the compositor; for that is not
meet in the sight of the printer.
Neither examine thou the proof sheet,
for it is not ready to meet the eye, that
thou may’st understand it.
Prefer thy town paper to any other; sub
scribe immediately for it, and pay in ad
vance, and it shall be well with thoo and
thy little ones.

Youth and white paper soon take an im

portation to the South. Every body keewfc
| that the chain of steam conimuuieatiQix
iis complete to Baltimore, and thence to
Norfolk in one direction, and to Washing
ton and thence to Potomac Creel, near
Fredericksburg, in another. On the let
ter route a rail road is completed a part of
the way, and will soon be alt the way to
Halifax on the Roanoke river. On t*
other route a rail road will alio seau lie
completed from Norfolk to the same point
on the Roanoke. Thence to Wilming
ton, N. C. there is a rail road in progress,
and for a considerable portion of the way
completed. To this point fU* Weft* ex
pected all the works will be re*dy<H a*e
by the end of next year. From w
ton to Charleston a rail road is contem
plated, and a line of steamboats is already
in successful operation, which, rwnatiirr so
they do near the shore all the way, wifi lib
likely to lie less objectionable to papMtt
gers than most open sea navigation. From
Charleston to Augusta a rail road has for
some years been in successful operation.
When the rail roads arc completed which
we have named above, the passage may
be made from Augusta to Boston m three
days and nights, the nights being spent in
steamboats, and of course in deep. Leav
ing Augusta in the morning, ’you come
on as follows:

Some of these stints may be rather too*
largely set—still, no more ia put down
than can be accomplished, and will he ac
complished, we daresay, in two years
more. The rail road by Richmond and
Washington would afford equal & perhaps
greater speed. We have selected that by
Norfolk, merely to get a nigut'a sleep on
the Chesapeake. Such a line of communi
cation to be traversed so rapidly and with
so little fatigue, is not to be found on the
earth besides; and all done not by auto
crats or Kings, but by individual:!,- stimu
lated by nothing but the genius of our fre&
and secure institutions. New Orleans is
within two days of Augusta, when,A rail
road has been made onto tbc Bay .of &lex
ico. Wc might have extended our table
to the Kennebec River on the East, for
steamboats run thither from Boston, and
a rail road is just completed to Salem,
and is in progress to Portland. The Ex
press Mail will soon be left in the back
ground. By means of Well organized
stages to fill up the gaps where toe raib
roads are not completed, passengers are
now transported South with great des
