[From the Knickerbocker for January.] THE FLIGHT OF TIME. BV PARK BENJAMIN. Time still moves on, with noiseless pace, And we are loiterers by the way ; Few win, and many lose the race, For which they struggle, day by day; | And even when the goal is gained, How seldom worth the toil it seems 1 How lightly valued, when obtained, The prize tiiat fluttering Hope esteems! Submissive to the winds of chance, We toss on Life’s inconstant sea; This billow may our bark advance, And that may leave it on the lee; This coast, which rises fair to view. May be thick set with rocky mail. And that, which beetles o’er tho blue. Be safest for the shattered sail. The cloud that, like a little hand, Slow lingers when the niornimr shines, Expands its volumes o’er the land. Dark as a forest-sea of pines; While that, which casts a vapory sere, a Before the azure realm of day, Rolls upward from the lowland scene, And from the mountain-tops away. Oh, fond deceit! to think the flight Os time will lead to pleasures strange, And ever bring some new delight, To minds that strive and sigh for change. Within ourselves the secret lies. Let seasons vary as they will; Our hearts would murmur, though our skies Were bright as those of Eden still! IW B S € K !L fz A A ¥. Rovai. Fish Spearing. —The follow ing anecdote taken from a Parisian letter in the Courier & Enquirer, will serve to illustrate the character of that personifica tion of imbecility and cruelty in defence of whose “right div ine” thousands upon thousands of chivalrous Spaniards have shed their blood like water. It is enough to call a blush into the cheek of manhood for the gullibility of human nature, to reflect that men can be so blinded by he reditary prejudice as to bend the knee in homage to, or draw the sword in defence of suejj a thing as Don Carlos the royal mountebank of Spain. Ferdinand the VII. was at Valencia, on his way to Madrid, in the month of April, 1811. A party were at breakfast one day, at the house of Mr. Tupper, the English consul, among whom was the late General Sir Philip Roche, who had enter ed tile Spanislt service, and who was on the Staff of the King. While at hreckfast, an account reached them of Napoleon’s abdication.—llochc proceeded immedi 01' 'o acquaint his Majesty with it. He f ..J in the anti-chamber the Due do L’lnfantado. “I want to see the King,” said Roche. “You cannot,” replied the Duke —“ he is engaged.” “1 must.” “You cannot.” “It is an affair of the first consequence.” “llis Majesty is particu larly occupied.” “Announce me, and say, 1 bring news of the greatest importance.” The Duke acquiesced, hut returned with a message front the King, desiring that the matter he communicated through him, (the Due de L’lnfnntado,) as his Majes ty was absorbed by a momentous concern. “That I will not do,” said Roche. “The affair is of the most pressing and impor tant nature, and I will communicate it to none hut the King.” The Duke once more entered tiie royal apartment, and obtained a reluctant order to admit Roche, with which lie complied. On entering their room, Roche found the King and his brother Don Carlos, (the present Pretender,) at opposite seats of a table, on which was a large glass vase with tubes projecting from it.—The vase was full of water, and in the water were a number of gold fish, which the Royal brothers were spearing with straws or splinters of wood through the tubes. .“Ah, Rec'.w,, how do you do?” said the King, making a lunge. “What's tlie news, General?” asked Don Carlos, re pelling a fish which had avoided the vigor ous thrust of the monarch. “Bonaparte has abdicated your Majesty.” “Indeed! Now, Carlos, you will have him again at your side,” and with his skewer he poked one of the unfortunate fishes that had darted from the side of Don Carlos, who at that moment, “gave point,” uttering a shout of triumph! Evening Bath at Santa Fe.—T’wi light was just beginning to cast her shades over the Santa Fecions, and the moon rose in great splendor above the horizon, to show that her silver beams would soon turn the coining night into serenest day. —There is a lustre and magnificence, a brilliant yet placid glory, in the moon light of those regions of unclouded skv and atmosphere uncontaminated by fogs, that to be appreciated must be enjoyed. The family party now instead of being !congregated, after the siesta, under the porch, was grouped in tlm patio, and in- [creased by the advent of many friends and neighbors of both sexes. They were ! all going to bathe in the glassy stream j that leaves tlie green swarded banks by which it gently glides. Don Louis asked me to accompany them; and, though it | was certainly new to me, and seemed not a little odd that I should be invited, with others of my own sex to accompany the ; ladies to their bath, I never doubted we i were to part company at the waters edge, j —I, of course, consented to become one of so novel and interesting a party; and i forth vve sallied. The ladies were attend ed by a great many female slaves, bear . ing their mistresses’ wearing apparel. As we moved onward, en masse, many was | tlie joke, and loud the laugh, which cheer ed 11s on our way. Much too plain and primitive, however, for reiteration, was the language in which the conversation was couched. At length the shining river arose upon our view, waters ripling and dimpling under the dancing beams of the moon. But guess my friend if you can, my astonishment, when, on reaching the banks, I saw the Santa Feciua Niads, who had taken to the stream before our arrival, bandying their jokes in high glee with the gentlemen who were bathing a little way above them. i It is true they were all dressed, the la dies in white robes, and the gentlemen in white drawers, but there was in the ex hibition something that ran rather coun ter to my preconceived notions of pro priety and decorum. As 1 stood by, I saw 7 the whole inhabitants of the Santa 1 Fe (for I suppose scarcely one was left in the house) carry on their aquatic gam bols as familiarly as if they had been whirl-1 ing through the mazes of a quadrille. ’ Merry-making, revelry, and laughter, were i the order of die evening; and yet, from all I heard and saw during much subsequent in course with this people, 1 verily believe that their bathing diversions were quite as innocent as a rigid Mussulman would think our European ballroom scenes to be. An over-rigid judgment passed by the'foreigner on the inhabitants of Santa Fe, because of their mode of bathing, would be as unjustifiable, and us errone ous ns that of the Mahometan censor on the women of England, France, and Amer ica, because like those in bis country, they are not cooped tip in the harem. At length, our parly emerged from tlie water. The ladies were dressed with great dex terity by their maids; the wet bathing clothes were collected; the hair, tlie long, beautiful tresses of black hair, which had been kept up with a comb before the bath was taken, now floated in luxuriant abun dance. over the shoulders, and much under the waist of tlie Santa Fociuas, as in pro cession they returned to their respective homes. They were careful not to walk too fast, that they might not lose the benefit of their refreshing dip; and when on ar rival at home they assembled, in tertulia, at their porches, or in their patios, tlie hair, like a veil continued to shroud al most every part of them but their face. They alledged that they could not other wise have tlicr tresses and ringlets dried before the hour of rest. Hereupon a good deal of conversation followed, as to the different habits of the ladies in Santa Fe and those i:i England; till a cal! to supper fortunately saved me from the embarrass ment of answering some ratiier puzzling questions.—[Robertson’s Letter on Par aguay. Among the numerous remarks which have been elicited by the quadruped im portations of Commodore Elliot, and the brief letter from the Secretary of the Navy making enquiries on that subject,— we have seen none equal to the following article, which we copy from the Washing ton Statesman. The “order of battle,” proposed by the new system is laughable irresistibly; and the mind of Camihiell alone, worked to a pitch Ijke the afflatus which produced the “Conflict of the Bal tic,” could describe a warlike encounter under such terrific circumstances. The Cos vs rm rr o v .—This noble frigate, it is said, will require serious repairs in her gun-deck, in consequence of the injuries the present one sustained from the cargo of mules, which she brought with her from the Mediterranean. It is much to be re gretted that her commander did not pro tect the deck, by a layer of thick plank, or, what would have been better still, “a pavement of asphaltum.” The latter arti cle being a non-recipient of noxious fluids, the atmosphere, especially at night would have been less offensive to the seamen, obliged as they were to swing their ham mocks among the mules. If the recent order of the lion. Secre tary of the Navy, disallowimg the com mander of a national ship the privilege of converting her into a transport for jack asses, should erer be annulled, rescinded, or “expunged,” we trust that her decks will at once be paved with the most ap proved asphaltum—her guns will of course he stowed below, while each gaping port will display the uncompromising visage of one wbi makes no terms with apposition. Should an enemy attack her, the battle hr ay of a hundred of these, unyielding fellows, all striking in nt once, at the top of their whistle, would he enough, of it self to unnerve the strongest heart. No enemy, with whom “discretion was the better part of valor,” would think of re newing his attack on a ship thus obstinate ly defended. The victory would he alike easy and bloodless; no bones would he broken, no lives lost, every man and mule would safely reach his destined port; and then, to crown the whole, “the agricultur- 1 al interest of the country would be pro-j moted.”—How would— Tint cattle l r,v, the lambkins skip, The old folks talk, thf young ones prattle, As homeward bound, this jackass-ship Returned triumphant from the battle! Yankee Girls.—l love to meet a yan kcc girl, let it be where it will, but more especially when west of the Hudson, for then her pure simplicity of word and ac tion contrasts so amiable with the con strained manner of two many amongst us, whose heads and hearts have been spoiled by an artificial state of society. She gen erally speaks what she thinks, nor is she! fearful of thinking independently either; | her actions, though free, never go beyond tiie strictest rules of propriety; and the most fastidious, who may at first imagine her imprudent, soon become assured that she is less erratic in thought than in the mincing prude who chides her niece of fifteen for smiling with unconstrained openheartedness in tlie face of our cousin who'has just returned from abroad. I feel as if 1 had just emerged from tlie con fined air of a city into a pure breezy at mosphere, whenever I find myself in the society of a genuine yatikee girl, who has moved in good society and possesses a cultivated mind. The most excellent traits which 1 have observed in tiie yankee girl, are her even ness of disposition and fine flow of spirits. You will always find her the same see her wiicre you will and when you will, —and you are never at a loss to understand her for she has none of the low tricks which I have become too fashionable among too i many young ladies, who are constantly, in their social intercourse witii our sex, engaged in fighting under false colors,-un til we are obliged to turn about, and in! mere self protection become as great by-! pocrites as themselves. [Philadelphia j Paper. Washington Irving has somewhere made some admirable remarks on tlie capacity of delicate females for endurance in ad versity, and their ability to restore the [drooping energies of rhe sterner sex un der the pressure oftrouble. If there he a sight more affecting than any other, it is to behold a tender and affectionate wile , cheering with her fond smile the partner of her affections, and soothing his wounded spirit with her caresses. Men may talk as they will about their ability to face misfortune, hut tlie strongest of them are ■weak when compared with lovely woman. It is not in the festal hall, nor at the ban quet, nor during the hours of prosperity and joyousness that tlie female character discovers itself ill all its excellence. li is •a lien the strength of man lias failed, when Ids heart is bruised, and his pride humbled and broken by the scathing touch of penu ry and want; —when his head droops and , liis limbs are weary, and when he sinks into despondency, that woman, like an angel of mercy, hangs about bis pillows, and smoothes the ruffle brow of care.— It is when sorrow lias spread its darkness I around bis spirit, and even to hope seems denied, that man finds comfort in the af fections of fond woman, ar.d reads in the glance of female tenderness and devotion the augury of hotter days to come. Those who have felt the reality of what we here i state, can best appreciate its truth, and exclaim with the poet: “V* itliout the smile from partial beauty won, , !Oh v. liat were man —a world without a sun!’’ A Band or Heroes. —The Carlist Ge.n icral, or rather butcher, Cabrera, after the [ i affairs of Maelia, commanded eighty see- j I gents of the division of Bardinas to stop j out of the ranks, and offered them the al-, I tentative of being shot nr taking service with Don Carlos. “We prefer dying,” was the reply. Cabrera immediately order ed them to he shot, ten by ten,.in the hope that the sight of the execution of their comrades would shake tlie firmness of their survivors. Every time a platoon of these Tieroical sergeants was laid on the ground by the bails of bis savage band, Cabrera bad ibis terrible question address ed to tlie next platoon, “Will you take service for our Lord and King Don Car los?” and tlie same answer, "We prefer dying,” was uniformly returned. The names of these eight sergeants ought to ; be written in letters of gold on the front j of all tlie military establishments of Spain. i One Moment! what an effect it produces j upon years! One moment! virtue, crime, glo- j ry, shame, wo, rapture, rest upon it! Death itself is but n moment, yet eternity is its Stic ccssnr. [From the Baltimore American.] It would seem that all the notions here tofore entertained of the beauty of the hu man form are at fault, if we may judge from the attempts constantly made to alter the female shape and render it conforma ble to the notions of modern mnntua makers. Some of the fashions introduced of late years not only set nil the laws of symmetry at defiance, but go so far as to Impart to tlie person peculiarities which, if they really existed, would stamp the possessors with decided deformity.—Nor is this all. The appliances used to pro duce new modifications to the frame, are such us to induce disease, and many instan ces death. If the young I adies thus endeavor to disfigure nature’s handy work would only reflecit for a moment on the melancholy fruits of their capriciousness, self-preserva tion if no other motive, would make them abstain from confining the body so as to interefure with the animal economy. The number of deaths caused by eon swaption, as it is called, but in fact nothing else titan the consequences of tight lacing, is as we believe greater than the fair victims of their own immediate desire for taper shapes are willing to admit. Let them suffer nature to devclope itself, and, if we are not much mistaken, in many an in stance where there exist at present pale ness and emaciation there would he ruddy complexions, well rounded forms, and the free elastic step of health and vigor. A Lesson for the modern Press. —lt is recorded, and cannot he too often re peated of Doctor Franklin, that when ho published a newspaper in Philadelphia, a person brought a piece which he desired might be published. Tlie Doctor request ed him to leave it tili the next day, when lie would give him an answer, lie accordingly returned at the time appointed, and receiv ed the following answer from Franklin: ‘He had,” he said, “perused the piece, and found it to be scurrilous and defamatory. To determine whtlicr he should publish it or not, lie bad gone home in the eve ning, purchased a two penny loaf at the baker’s, and with water from the pump had made a supper of it. lie then wrap ped himself up in bis great coat, laid himself on the floor, and slept soundly till morning: when on another loaf and mug of water, he breakfasted, and felt no inconvenience whatever from his regimen. Finding ho could live in this manner, he had formed a determination never to pros titute !:is press to the purpose of corrup tion and abuse, for the sake of gaining a more comfortable subsistence.” —[New Orleans Picayune.

HUMBER 36. | London Defaulters. —The clerk of J one of the most extensive parishes in, Lon don lately committed suicide, after fulfill ! ing some of the most important offices ; for a period of thirty-five years. He had ! been for ninny years acting secretary of the Savings Bank, and nmnbe.lesa pri- I vate individuals had eutfusted him with ; large sums for investment, all of which ! had been lost in bis speculations, or made i use of to cover bis former defalcations. One widow lady bad entraisted him with $75,000, to invest in the public 'funds, and he always paid her over the interest at the regular period, but she having had some misgivings, went to the Bank of England *o examine the books, when, to her astonishment, she found that her stock | had been sold out at various times, until the small balance of 85,000 only remain ed to her. This expose led to others, and terminated in the death of the defaulter by liis own hand. Religious Tolerance. —A rare ex ample of religious tolerance has been re cently shown at Murtcrstadt, the chief town of the district of Frnnkcrithal in Bavaria. The Jews of that place, being in want of a synagogue, had raised a sub scription, to which a great many Chris tians contributed, and the opening of the new place of worship was fixed for the 24th ult. On learning this, the Catholic clergy expressed a desire to attend the ceremony, and oflerred a large room in the rectory of one of the parishes as a rendervouz for the whole of the persons who were to he present. Here the pro cession was formed, with the two. Jewish Ilahhis at its'head, the members of the consistory of the district, the Catholic clergy, the civil and military authorities, the principal inhabitants of tho'town, and last of all, the Jewish residents. After the ceremony, and the delivery of the ora tion bv tlie chief Rabbi, the Catholic rec tor addressed the assembly in an eloquent discourse, recommending concord and charity among the followers of all religions. A fellow who had been paying his de voirs at the shrine of Bacchus, and like Falstiff had foresworn thin pbtations, stood at tlie corner of the street, about three sheets in (lie wind, endeavoring to sustain himself by the assistance of a post. It was rather a difficult piece of business, for he was first on one side of it, then up on the other. In this emergency, a boon companion on the opposite side of the street, called to him to come across. — Come across,” said the fellow, with a hic cup, missing his hold of the post, and stumbling at length, “you must be a smart man to suppose 1 can come across, wheni I am too drunk to stay where l am."
