WOOING; BV A BASHFUL GENTLEMAN.
Heak tins talc of a boyish heart.
Hear and be wise ere yo go to woo;
Ever with boldness play your |crt,
Nor weakly sigh, nor timidly sue;—
Hear the tale of a boyish heart:
As 1 drew near’ to my lady’s bow’r,
I sung her a song that might win a flower;
Song so gentle and sweet to hear,
It hud suited well in a fairy’s car;
Iowly and soft at first it rose,
And touching tho sigh at its dying close.
Hear the tale of a boyish heart.—
Vainly I sung to my lady’s car;
A minstrel came with s bolder art,
And he sung in on accent loud and clear;—
He snng not the tale of a boyish heart
Ilis spirit was high, and his soul was proud,
His song was eager, and wild, and loud,—
And, O! mothonght, how worse than vain,
The chorus strong and the swelling strain,-—
Song so stormy and wild to hear,
Will never suit for a lady’s car.
Hear the talc of a boyish heart—
Never you sing in your lady’s car,
As if your soul were about to part,
And you stood on tho edge of a mortal fear—
Tell her the tale of a manly heart !—
A maid is a woman and not a flower,
And she loves, in her lover, tho proofs of power
His eye must be ardent, his spirit high—
For her the soft note and the tender sigh—
She may be timid and tremulous still,
But he must be one who must have his will.
MISCELLANY.
The Four Pistarccns.
When John was about thirteen years old
left his parental roof in New Jersey, and
nt to Philadelphia to learn a trade. He
tered as an apprentice with his brother,
coach-mnkcr. He was frequently sent
a drug store for half a gallon, of oil, for
lich lie was accustomed to pay twenty
e cents. But il happened in some lime
it oil fell, and the pnee was only twenty
its. Not being informed of this,, ana
ing with him a one dollar note, he pre-
ticd it, and received in change—not as
expected—three quarters of a dollar,
t four pistareens, of the value of twenty
nts each. John supposed they were
arters, and that the druggist had given
nfour instead.of three. '
He had been taught when a child to be
acst. He knetr it was as dishonest to
to advantage of another’s mistake to
tain ivhnt was not his own, os to cheat
any other way. His first impulse, there-
c, was to return one of these pieces to
ic man; but before he had time to carry
t these feelings into practice, Satan, and
* evil in his own heart tempted him; the
light occurred that he would give three
them’ to his brother, as the supposed
;ht change, and kept the fourth for him-
He closed his hand upon 'he money,
up his jug and left the store.
b jug had no handle to it, and he had

ib so cat nb.fingers, that after changing
rom one hand to the other several times,

Treatment ora Horse on a
Journey.
To perform a long journey, with comfort
and case to a horse, and satisfaction to the
rider, requires some attention tothc feeding,
for eight or ten days previous to the setting
out. ‘ A horse uncommonly fat, running
late at grass, fed with unsubstantial food,
such as bran, &c. or unaccustomed to ex
ercise and fatigue, is very unfit to perform
a journey on, unless prepared by being fed
on old and solid food, for eight or ten anys,
such ns corn, fodder, oats, or hay, and giv
en moderate exercise. A horse about half
fat is. in the best situation to bear the fa
tigue and labour of a journey by following
(he mode of treatment I shall here recom
mend. If he is only a tolerably good one,
bv the time he reaches his journey’s end,
should it last four or five weeks, his condi
tion will be much improved, if he is not
entirely fat. 1st. It is necessary to have
your horse shod with a good ana substan
tial set pf shoes, taking caTe that they fit
easy, set well, and arc not placed so near
the inside of the foot as to cut the ankles
in (ravelling, which often produces stiffness,
considerable swelling of tne legs, and some
times lameness. 2d. Examine your sad
dle, valise, portmanteau, harness, &c. as
the case may be, to discover if they fit with
case and comfort to your horse, taking care
to let them undergo the same examination
every two or three days. For a saddle to
fit properly, il must be neither wide enough
in the tree to slip upon the shoulders, or so
narrow as to pinch or break the skin on the
withers; the bolstering or stuffing in the
panncls should be adnptcd to the hollow
spaces on each side of the back bone or
spine. When thus properly fitted, a crup
per will be useless. 3d. Your valise should
be fastened on by passim? two straps un
derneath two pieces confuted to the valise
pad, and through two loops at the back of
the saddle; by which means it will be kept
steadily in its proper place, and the rider
will not be perplexed by its swinging first
on one side, and then on the other, and the
danger of the horse having a sore back
from friction will be avoided. The cnly
difference between the customary way of
fastening a valise and the one I here' ro
bed with straw. 9th. Water him plenti
fully. 10th. Feed him with two gallons
of oats,' or one and a half gallons of corn
or hommonv, and eight or ten bundles'of
fodder. lith. Let his hoofs be nicely

with dishonesty, from which f might j moist, and cool. 12th. Cfiangcyour food

L "“— —- i:_e. e. —j j n ,r any that is'new, or just gathered.—
Observe the above rules to your journey’s
end, except your horse should prove a great
feeder, and ‘in that case you may indulge
him a little ; but the quantity I have here
recommended, is enough for any common
horse when travelling. It may not be a-
raiss to remind the young traveller to in
spect his horse’s shoes once 3 day, and
whatever appears amiss about them to have
immediately rectified. It frequently hap
pens that the skin of young horses, unac
customed to travel, is chafed and scalded
by the friction of the girth; the part, wash
ed clean with a little soap and water, and
then washed with a little salt and water,
will immediately cure and toughen the
skin.
It often happens at little baiting places
or country taverns, (met with on the road
by travellers,) that towards the end-of har
vest, servunts are apt to feed with green
oats or wheat, in consequence of the scar
city of fodder, unices otherwise directed ;
food of this kind is poison to a travelling
horse, and will produce a diarrhoea and ex
treme debility. It would be much better
he should not have long food for two weeks,
than to give it to him green front the field.
When persons travelling arc not attentive
to their horses, they are frequently given
mouldy oats and corn, wliich is productive
of the* worst effect; there being but few
kinds of food that can he given a horse,
that will terminate his existence more spee
dily. Many of those valuable animals
have bqpn distroved by such means, when
the owners have' been frequently at a loss
to know with what disease or from what
cause they had died.
Mental Courage.
Mokal and physical courage are gener
ally understood and appreciated, but there
is a kindred attribute which may be de
nominated mental courage ; and the former
are not more indispensable in the common
relations of life, than is the latter to the
successful pursuit of knowledge and dicip-
lineof the mind. It implies a hearty rea
diness and alacrity of alt kinds of intellec
tual work, with the power and the will to
apply the forces of (lie mind with steady
and persevering vigor, in masterin'g difficul
ties. Much may doubtless be done to pro
mote this habit of mind, by a judicious
commend, is the passing strapsthrough the
loops to tne back of the saddle.
On the night previous to your commenc
ing your journey, after yourhorse is placed
on a good bed of straw, and is well rubbed
feed with two gallons bf oats, or one and a
half gallons ot old corn and hommony, and
eight or ten bundles of fodder, or a quanti
ty of hay equal toiL In the morning feed
with half a gallon of oats, after which of
fer a backet of water. It is customary for
bones to be Cratered before being fed; but
it is much better not jo water them until
afterwards; a large draught of water very
often destroys the appetite, and makes a-
horse dull and sluggish for a. whole day
afterwards. When he is watered’ in this
way, he seldom drinks too much, and his
mouth is washed clean and is moist when
he commences his journey. It also meas
urably destroyes his inclination to drink out
of every stream he may cross in the road,
which » so tiresome and unpleasant to a
rider.
Being now completely prepared for the
contemplated journey, Die following rules
must be strictly observed. 1st. Never per
mit- your horse, while travelling, to drink
cold branch, wall; ■ or pond wafer; .or mare
than is necessary to wet or moisten his
mouth. 2d. Every time you stop to feed,
(which will, be morarng, breakfast, and din
ner tune,) give him a bucket of water,
The Prospect of Trade
TO AMEBIC AW COMMEBCE.
Among the most intelligent observers in
our country, there appears no difference of
opinion, that the shores of the Pacific Ocean
and the China Seas, are destined to yield
a rich harvest to the trade and commerce of
the United States.
Wo observe in various parts of the coun
try quite extensive arrangements making
by cmjgrants for Oregon; and much more
attention appears to he bestowed upon the
ultimate importance of Ihe trade along the
shores of the Pacific. There will be ihe
final control of (lie immense whale fishery,
in which so many of our vessels arc now
engaged. We have more than double the
number of vessels connected with this com
merce that both France and England have.
Their annual earning is valued at over five
millions of dollars. Our great fleet of ves
sels pass the winter months between the
tropics, in pursuit of sperm whale; the
summer months in the Northern Ocean, be
tween the Sandwich and Aleutian Island,
for the capture of black whaler, and be
tween the Sandwich Islands and the coast
of Japan for sperm.
It is known, that a very large trade is
done in flint, sandal-wood, &c., which are
sold in China. On the immediate track of
this trade are situated the Sandwich Islands,
twelve days’ sail from the mouth of the
Oregon and the Bay of Francisco, and in
the centre of the route to China. Conse
quently, they arc a point of command for
the whole future trade between the two
Continents. The Islands arc 8,000 square
miles in extent. The population is 100,-
000 industrious and comparatively civilized
people, enjoying a most prolific soil, and
one of thc'fincst climates in the world.—
Sugar cane is indigenous, and the low
grounds admirably adapted to the culture
of any tropical production ; while, on the
uplands, every species of grain and vege
table grows luxuriantly.
At no previous period has anything like
the attention been bestowed, as’al present,
upon the growing importance of the great
trade of the Pacific and the Chinese Seas.
Il is believed that new and constantly ex •
tending fields will be open to the trade,
commerce and enterprize of the United
Statce—and that, for a quarter of a centu
ry to come, tho extent and importance of
the commercial relations will add augmen
ted sources of wealth to the great shipping
interests of our country.
which is, not to relieve the student of the
necessity of labor, but to direct and stimu
late him to the use of : his own powers.—
Carstcn Niebuhr, the celebrated traveller,
and father of the history of Rome, made
the following remark to bis son on the sub
ject: “Noman deserves toleomanything
which he does not principally work out for
himself; and the business of the instructer
is to help ihe scholar out of otherwise in
explicable difficulties.”
The formation of this , habit must, how
ever, depend principally on the student him
self. And in order to acquire it, the mind
should grapple vigorously with such diffi
culties as occur, before extraneous aid of
any kind is called in. The student mpst
expect to climb the hill, and swim the flood
ana thread the' forest, in his intellectual
progress, as weH as to walk over the smooth
and level plain. Ami when he comes up
on such difficulties, he should not loo rea
dily take the ann of another, but boldly
ana patiently try his own strength upon it
first. If he succeed in mastering it, the
acquisition will be much more secure and
valuable to him. It is these very difficul
ties, with the patient labor they require,
which principally educate the mind, that is
which call oat and teach it to master am
apply its ; forces: it is these difficulties,
whetherof language or of science, which
the mind 1 combats tn : the course of educa
tion, which produce the.acuteness-and the
ready command of -his resources that dis
tinguish the scbolhrand thinker from the
uneducated man.

works; bastion, redoubt and rampart, streamed forth
one living sheet of flame. Tbs eighteen* monnteJ
where we stand, were filled totbe muzzle with grape,
canister, and tags of musket bullets—imagine their
havoc. The enemy came on with loud shouts and
undaunted bravery. • By the continued glare of oar
discharges, we could see dense dark’ masses of men,
moving in columns to three separate points of attack
uuon our works. Our artillery and musquetry pout
ed on them a continual stream of fire, rolling and
glancing from angles bastions and redoubts. Repul
sed— they were reformed by their officers, and foot
Spain to the charge tobe again repulsed. At each times
hours fly like mainutes—a life appears concentrated
to a few moments. We had been engaged perhaps
an hour—perhaps three, when I heard in that bas
tion of the Fort, a hundred feet from me, abovo tho
uproar, a quirk, furious struggle, aa if of men enga
ged in fierce death fight; a clashing oflaycncts.nnd
sharp pistol shots, mixed with heavy blows, and short
quick breathing, such as you have heard men makn
in violent exertion—in rutting wood with axes, or in
other severe manual labor. Hie conflict though
tierce, was short—the assailants were repelled.—
Those that gained a footing were bayooetted, or
thrown backoverthe parapet. In a few moments I
beard again the same fierce struggle, and: again fol
lowed the like result and stillness—if stillness eoold
be raid to exist under a continual rear of musquetry
and artillery. A third timei it arose, sudden and des-
perato; it ceased, and presently a clear loud voice
rose high above flic battle from the bastion: “ stop
firing in front there, you are firing on your friends.
An instant cessation followed. We were deceived.
In another moment, the voice of an officer with start
ling energy replied: Aye, ayo, we’ll stop; give it
them, men, giro it them!”—and the firing .renewed,
was continued with redoubled fury. The bead of
person, alter three several a& suits,
gained possession of the bastion, and by that ruse,
endeavored to cause a cessation of the fire—a result
that might have been total to us, had not the decep
tion been soon discerned. But the prize was of lituo
value, a* the bastion was commanded by the interior
of tho works, and the men, under cover of tho walla
of an adjoining barrack, poured into the gorge that
led from it, a continued storm of musquetry. Tho
fire continued with unabated fury. Tho enemy, re
mised with great loss in every attack, was unsuccce-
ul in every point save the bastion, tho possession of
which they still retained—when I heard a groaning
roll and shako of the earth, and instantly the bastion,
bodies of men, timber, guns, earth and stones, were
blown up in the air like a volcano, making every,
thing in tho glare as clear os noonday. A descend
ing timber dashed one of my artillery men to pieces
within a foot of my shoulder. Profound darkness
and silence followed. Naught but the groans of tho
wounded and dying were heard. As if by mutual
consent, the firing ceased and the men withdrew, re
side, i

(August 14/A, 1814)

these crumbling works—the stone fort feeing the
river—the remains of ramparts and trenches—here
a bastion—further on a redoubt—there again lines
and earth-works, forming a continuous circle of de
fence, but now all last sulking to their original level.
These are, or rather were, the fortress and defence
of “Fort Erie.” When some yean since I rode over
the ground with our kind and excellent friend, the
Major, I listened with great interest to his narration
of the part of the campaign acted upon this spot and
the adjoining country. I will repeat it to you aa we
ride over it. Jump your hone upon this decaying
mound—it was a bastion.
Standing oa this bastion, “ Here,” said the Major,
we had thrown up our lines, malting the defences
as strong as practicable. The British had also erec
ted formidable works about half a mile in front, (the
method of instruction,-the-trueobjee,of
&y kept op an incessant discharge of shot and sheila
for several successive days, which was returned by us
with equal vigor. At length a shell from the bat
teries having Mkn upon it, blew up one of our small
magazines, but with trifling injury to the rest of the
defences. They greatly miscalculated the damage,
and were elated with their success, and Gen. Gaines
received secret information that they intended to
carry the works by storm on the following night—
That night said the Major, I shall Dot soon forget—
It set in intensely dark and cloudy, extremely fa
vorable to the design of the enemy. Every thing
was put in the fullest state of proportion to receive
them.' The men enthusiastically awaiting the at
tack, were ordered to lie on their arms. Attending
along the lines, and manning the fort and bastion,
our little army, in perfect silence, awaited their com-
“*he forest had been cleared about three hundred
vards in front of our works—beyond that were, as
you sec, the woods. As the night wore on we lis
tened withearnestaess to every sound. A little after
" tilt, are heard on the dry leaves the stealthy
of footsteps—pat—patter—patter. We listen-
toned—they came nearer. A short, sharp challenge;
“Who goes tberat” baaed from Art farther re-
The footsteps ceased, As if irresolute to ad
vance or recede, and all wai stiH. Another quick
challenge—« rattle of the mnsketaa if it fell into the
hollow of the hand—followed the reply
save from the parapet which
ihey purchased for their grove. A large quantity of
fixed ammunition had been placed in tho part, and a
stray wad falling upon it, had blown them all up to-
:-ether. My duty required that I should immediate-
I r repair this bastion, and most horrible was tho
sight—bodies burnt and mutilated—some of them
stul pulsating with life, among them Lieut. Colonel
Drummond the leader of the attack. There ho lay
in the morning light, stark and stiff, extended on tho
rampart, a ball having passed through his breast—
History mourns, that his courage assumed the char
acter of ferocity. His war-cry of “No quarter to tho
damned Yankees,” his own death warrant, was long
remembered against his countrymen. Tho enemy
did not resume the attack, but retiring to their en
trenched camp, strengthened their works, and pre
pared to make their approach by regular advances.
But come, spur on, wc have tar to ride—spur on.
Hero we are upon the works. Here is the stone wa
ter battery, and there the two strong redoubts, end
back of them the remains of their lines, and deep en
trenchments. These are the works which were car
ried in the memorable and desperate sortie of Fort
Erie. The right by Davis and Miller; the left hr
Porter and his volunteers. Hereon the left, quoth
the Major, fell my gallant, my accomplished friend,
Lieut. Col. Wood, at the head of hb column. Ho
was one of the most brilliant officers in the service,
and as beautiful aa a girt. I often gazed with aston
ishment atthe desperate daring tort characterized
him in action; here be fell; bayonettod to death on
the ground on tins spot;”—and here the Major’s
voice quivered, and he turned hb face from me, for
the cruel death of his dear friend was too muoh for
hb manhood. His ashes sleep amid the Highlands
of the Hudson, beneath their monument, near the
flag staff at West Point, peace to his gallant spirit!
The stars of his country can wave over no braver

A letter from Mr. M’Cnrver, Speaker of

a most flattering account of the prosperity
of that region. He says the crops ora
