If ever man died oflove.it was Ed
ward Morton—The Lady to whom
he became early attached was mar
ried to another. Morton was present
at the marriage, and was never seen
to smile afterwards. The lady, it is
said, was unhappy in Iter union, and
did not survive it many years. Mor
ton died at Corfu. A portrait of the
l.adv was found in his port folio,
wrapped up in the following lines:—
I saw thee wedded —thou didst go
Within the sacred aisle,
Thy young check in a blushing glow,
Betwixt a tear and sm It*.
Tliv heart was jrlad in maiden glee,
But he it lov’d so fervently
Was faithless all the while;
I hate him for the vow lie spoke—
-1 bate him for the vow he broke.
I hid the love that could not die,
Its doubts, and hopes, and tears,
Ami buried ail my misery
In seeresy and tears;
And days pass’d on. and thou didst prove
The pangs of unrequited love,
F.Yn in thine early years ;
And thou did’st die so fair and good 1
In silence and in solitude.
V hile thou w ert living, ! did hide
Affection's secret pains ;
I’d not have sle ek’d thy modest pride, !
For all the world contains;
ltnt thou bast perish’d, and the fire
1 lia< oftencheck’d, could ne’er expire,
Again unhidden reigns :
It is no crime to speak my vow*,
For all 1 thou cai.st not hear it now.
Thou slecp’st beneath thy lowly stone,
‘I hat dark ami dreamless sleep;
Affj he, thy loved and chosen one—
V hy goes he not to weep 1
He does not kneel where I have knelt,
He cannot ted what I have felt,
The anguish, still, and deep,
The paitdi 1 thoughts of what has been,
The canker-worm that is not seen.
But 1- ns o’er the dark blue wave
Unconsciously I ride,
Mj thoughts are hovering o’er thy grave,
My soul is by thy side.
There >sn voice that wa s'tliec yet,
One heart that cannot e’er forget
1 he visions that have died ;
And aye, thy form is buried there,
A doultt—su anguish u despair )

lie has detailed his treatment of (lie
case, and found the above mentioned
substance an effectual remedy. A Full
dose of arsenic was taken by iiis pa

Extraordinary Escape. —Last Wed -
liesdaj night, a chief in the village of
the Lake ol the Two Mountains, when
going to bed, incautiously stuck a light
ed ijimlle against the wainscot of a
garret where he and his household, a
liiounting to 18 persons, had retired to
rest. After some time, the tallow by
which the candle adhered, melting, it |
fell down, unfortunately into a basket I
where there was a bag containing a
bout 84 pounds of gunpowder. The
consequence was an immediate explo
sion, which blew oft' the roof, reuta
way the sides, and, iu a word, reduced
the house to splinters. By such an acci
* dent, one w.ntd expect, that many •-
were killed and wounded; but it was
quite the reverse ; for not a single per
son, though all were blown out of an
upper story to the distance, of 30
yards, via* injured materially.
The chief, w hose name is Jacob com
mandant, alighted on hi* feet in a ca- i
not* on the beach, through which his
legs penetrated as far as the ancles
and held him fa*t, as it were in the
slocks. There he was found by some |
ol the iulubitaftts, in inexpressible ter- I
tor, imagining hi* situation to have pro- 1
teeded from some malicious demon,
whose exit and entrance had destroyed
hi* house. A child was sleeping w ith its
head near the basket, suffered no other
hup than having its hair singed; and
to crown all, a leathern bag, contain
ing 3 pounds more of gunpowder and
lying in the same basket was found
near the house unexploded.

EXTRACTS
From Sir Humphrey Day's Introduc
tory Lecture on
JIGRICULTUBJtL CHEMISTRY, i
“ The chemical composition of plants -
has within the last ten years, been eiu- I
cidated by the expeiiments of a num-}
her of chemical philosophers, both in i
this, and other countries ; and it forms (
a beautifulmpart of general cheinistrv ; !
it is 400 extensive to be treated of nun- i
utelv ; but it will be necessary to dwell
upon such parts of it, as afford practi
cal inferences.
“If the organs of plants be submit
ted to chemical analysis, it is found that
their almost infinite diversity of form,
depends upon different arrangemenls
and combinations of a very few of the
elements ; seldom more than seven or
eight belong to them, and three consti
tute the greatest part of their organiz
ed matter ; and a< cording tc the man
ner in which these elements are dis
posed, arise the different properties of
, the products of vegetation, whether
employed as food, or for other purposes
ami wants of life.
“ The value ard uses of every spe
cies of agricultural produce, are most
correctly estimated and applied when
practical knowledge is assisted by
principles derived from chemistry.
The compounds in vegetables reallv
nutritive as the food of animals, are
very few ; farina or the pure matter of
starch, gluten, vegetable jelly, and ex
tract. til these the most nutritive is
gluten, which approaches nearest in its
| nature to animal matter, and which is
the substance that gives to wheat its su
i perioritv over other grain. The next
) in order as to nourishing power, is su-
I gar, then fariuo ; and last of all gela-
I tinous and extractive matters. Simple
tests of the relative nourishing powers
of the different species of food, are the
rela ivc quantities of these substances
that they afford by analysis; and though
taste and appearance must influence
the consumption of all articles in years
< f plenty, yet they are less attended to
1 in times of scarcity, and on such oc
casions this kind of knowledge may be
of the greatest importance. Sugar and
farina or starch, ore very similar in
composition, and are capable of being
converted into each other by simple
chemical processes. In the discussion
ol their lelatiolis, I shall detail to you
the results of some recent experiments
which w ill be found possessed of appli
cations both to the, economy of vegeta
tion, and to some important processes
j of manufacture.
“ All the varieties of substances
found in plants, are produced from the
sap, and the sap of plants is derived
from water, or from the fluids in the
soil, and it is altered by, or combined
with principles derived from the atmos
phere. The influence of the soil, of
water, and of air, will therefore be the
next subject of consideration. Soils
in all eases Consists of a mixture of dif
ferent finely divided earthy matters;
I with animal or vegetable substances in
a state of decomposition, and certain
salhc ingredients—The earthy mat
ters are the true basis of the soil ; the
other parts, whether natural, or artifi
! dally introduced, operate in the same
manner as manures. Fourth earths
generally abound in soils, the alumin
! ous, the siliceous, the calcareous, and
the magnesian. These earths, as I have
discovered, consist of highly iuHainina
bit* metals united to pure air or oxy
geue ; and they are not, as far as we
know, decomposed or altered in vege
tation.
“ The great use of the soil is to afford
support to the plant, to enable it to fix
its rlKits, and to derive nourishment by
its tubes slowly and gradually, from the
j soluble and dissolved substances mix
| ed with the earths.
1 “ That a particular mixture of the
earths is conuected with fertility, can
not be doubted : and almost all* sterile
soils are capable of being improved, by
a modification of their earthly consti
tuent parts. 1 shall describe the sim
plest method as vetdiscoverd of analys
ing soils, ami ot ascertaining the con
stitution fk chemical ingredients which
appear to he connected with fertility, t
ami on this subject many of the former
difficulties of investigation will be found
to be removed by recent enquiries.
“ The necessity of w ater to vegeta
tion, and the luxury of the growth of
plants connected with the presence of
moisture in the southern countries of
the old continent, led to the opinion so
prevalen in 'he early schools of philo
*o| iiv, that water was ihe great pro-
I uuetive element, the substance from
which all tliinjrs were capable of being
composed, and into which they were
finally resolved.—The language of the
poet, that “ water is the noblest ele
ment,” seems to have been an expres
sion of tliis opinion, adopted by the
Greeks from the Egyptians, taught by
rhales, and revived by the alchemists
in late times.—Van Helinont, in 1610,
conceived that he had proved by a de
cisive experiment, that ail the products
of vegetables were capable of being ge
nerated from water. His results were ;
shewn to be fallacious by Woodward,
in 1691; but the true use of water in
vegetation was unknown till 1785 ;
when Mr. Covendish made the grand
discovery, that it was composed of two
elastic fluids or gases, inflammable gas
| or hydrogene, and vital gas or oxygene.
j “ Air, like water, was regarded as a
I pure element by most of the ancient
| philosophers: a few of the chemical en-
I quiries in the sixteenth and seventeenth
j centunes, formed some happy conjec
j tores respecting its real nature, fcir
j Kenehn Digby, in 1660 supposed that
j it contained some saline matter, which
j w as an essential food of plants, lloyle,
Hooke, and Mayow, between 1665 and
1680, stated that a small part of it on
ly was consumed in the respiration of
animals, and in the combustion of in
flammable bodies ; but the true statical
analysis of the atmosphere is compara
tively a recent labor, achieved towards
the end of the last century by Scheele,
Priestly, and Lavoisier.—These cele
brated men shewed that its principal
elements are two gases, oxygene and
a/.ote, of which tin first is essential to
flame, and to the life of animals, and
that it likewise contains small quanti
ties of aqueous vapor, and of carbonic
acid gas; aud Lavoisier proved that
this last body is itself a compound elas
tic fluid, consisting of charcoal dissolv
ed in oxygene.
