Egfftf/ REALTY'S IK AH. The dew exhal'd from beauty's eye ’Mid tinieroui glances shed; Kails like the moisture of the sky, Upon the lilty‘ head. ‘I he lilly and the rose unite On beauty's cheek to share The drops of radiant delight, And drink and flourish there. the eye shoots forth its sunny beams, To warm the waking flowers ; As nature owes her lovely realms, to sunshine and to showers. 1 lie flowers, the light, the warmth he thine, llie glorious bloom of spring— No tears, hut where the sun-beams shine, And zephyrs spoil their wing, • ■ The following humorous Ode on Southern Speculations appeared in the Mobile .Irgus mme time since. Merchant !• I think it time to stop, h hen every house becomes a shop, For Groceries or Dry Goods, H all men undertake to sell U s somewhat difficult to tell M ho cun he tumid to pap goods. Our planters too I'm much afraid U ill find their labour poorlv paid, When they depend on cotton ; It grows luxuriously, I grant, But what avails this thriving plant If every how l proves rotten J.et such ns feel a proper pride, Set those ignoble trades aside: For he's beneath one's pity, Who puts up w ith the merchant's toil, fr meanly stoops to grub the soil, W hen he can own a city. W hat, own a city ! you’ll exclaim— Yes, own the spot, (hut's jukt the same, On which the place must stand , For if on maps its once laid down, Its just us genuine a town, As any in the land. Town making now is <|uite a trade, Os which the rules are ready made, For those who stand in need I bus when a scR-port is intended, If these ingredients be blended It cannot but succeed. First choose an elevated bluff, dust where the river’s deep enough For ships of largest mould ; (If there should be u bar below O'er which these vessels cannot go, The fact need not be told.) You next must find a limpid spring, For this is an important tiling, And answers vastly well To lengthen out the wond'roiw tale, And aid when other reasons tail, To make the city sell. ‘the most important point, perhaps, Lies in the drawing ot the maps ; The painter there must try By mingling yellow, red. and green, To make the most delightful scene That ever met the eye. The site itself must not be known, That no inscription but your own May shine forth in the papers ; Yon then may rnise an eastern breeze, Or any other w ind you pleuse To drive off noxious vapours. Os this obscure spot, you may swear There never wnsu purer air, And if you’re not believed \t least you cannot be deceived, For none can prove that men huve uicd W here no man ever lived.’ This pvffmf! must not he omitted, For where \oil’ll find one man that s fitted To think and act alone,. You’ll find a thousand timid fools. Just formed,’twould seem, to he his tools And do as he lias done. Tis. when the rage at its height, The knowing ones will <|uit the site, While those that stop behind, Os this descriptiomcan’t complain, Tor what they lose in wealth, they gain In knowledge of mankind.

Rothschild is descen ded from a German lineage. Mr. K. sought to establish his fortune in England. Various were his vi cissitudes in early life; by his in dustry and prudential conduct, he acquitted considerable property in the linin trade at Manchester, vast quantities of which article were ex ported during the last war to the Continent, where Mr. Rothschild availed himself of the peculiar ad vantages of his brother’s agency in that quarter of Europe. Previous ly to the close of the late war, Mr. Rothschild transferred the scene of commercial operations from Man chester to London, fie then be came*a considerable speculator in (the Foreign and British Securities on the Stock Exchange ; .ml aiier the melancholic death of Mr. Gold smith, assumed a very prominent station in the money market. But the principal incident which contri buted to the rapid elevation ot our modern Croesus, was the escape cl Bonaparte ft om Elba, in 1814. In consequence ot Mr. R’s. superior means ol information on the Con tinent, this impoitant occurence was knownito him nearly forty-eight hours before it was in the posses sion of any other person in the country, ile did not tail to avail himself of every advantage which this prior intelligence presented, ilis agents went into the market and sold prodigious quantities of stock. Ihe consternation was dreadful! Every one suspected danger, none knew where to look for it.—The panic was epidemic! On the disclosure ol the fact, the general cry was same qui peat ; and the object bore off the immense sum, gained bv his success on this great and extraordinary occasion. Mr. Rothschild, thus fortified in wealth, and enjoying nt this time the almost exclusive means ot ac quiring the first intelligence iront the Continent, soon established for himself a reputation and impor tance, the maturity of which can scarcely be said to have been ac complished at the present moment. —lie availed himself of a conjunc tion with his brothers, who are also great capitalists on the Continent,) of the opportunity of administering to the wants of the King of Prussia the Emperor of Ruasia, the Kings of Naples and Spain, the Republic of Columbia and other states, who negoctated loans on terms highly profitable to him ; and which have, w ith the advantages of the course of exchange, and other incidental benefits, realized immense sums in addition to his fortunate specula tions in British stock. But the great coup de twain of Mr. R. con sisted in his outgeneraling the Gal lic P’inanciersin the recent French Loan. In that transaction he is supposed to have cleared upwards Q,j 00,000 by the commission alone, independent of the advantages of the courses ofExchange! By the fortuitous occurrence of favorable circumstances, Mr. R. has been enabled to amass greater wealth, than any man that ever ex isted in England. It would be im possible for others to estimate his property, when Mr. R. has declar ed that he could not do it himself. It has been asserted, however, that hecan command 15,000,000 sterling at any time, if required ! When it is consisted that “ monev, the sin ew of war,” is in its amount illimi table, and in its control so much at the mere \olition ofMr. R.it ceases to surprise the reader, that such a man should be necessary to the Potentates of Europe, and that his friendship and assistance should be no less anxiously sought, than promptly and powerfully afford ed. Mr. Rothschild is a Baron of the German empire, to the Emperor ol which, he has rendered some essential service. He is about 43 years of age, and possesses a fami ly of nine children. His mode of life i6 remarkable for its retired de scription. Unlike his great prede cessor (Goldsmith,) he does not boast of his choice and exquisite wines, or herald his hospitality to wards the Princes of the Blood. His appearance is unostentatious: his deportment familiar ; and his manners unaffected and affable.— His conversational style on ’Change is rapid, acute and discriminating. He carries about with him no aris tocratical feeling; neither does he affect a singularity, the common concomitant of extraordinary geni us, and the impotence of mental plenitude. Ilis face is distinguish ed by a lack of that piercing intel ligence, which lights up and ani mates the expressions of those proverbial for their acuteness ; but there is a quickness in the eye, which denotes a lively and unre mitting watchfulness of the mind, on every subject of general inte rest. When engaged in conversation, Mr. Rothschild usually dangles a bunch of keys in his right hand, and indulges a habit of abruptly turning from the object to whom he is speaking, and suddenly re newing the colloquy. He possess es a memory so remarkabl reten tive, and the powers of mental ad dition so copiously strong, that he effects ail li.s immense ciflcuiations without the agency ot pen or paper: and often at those times when the Jin of business ‘ gives note of pre paiation’ for a ‘ rise or fall.’ His genius is of that order, which of ten enables him to perceive the be nefit or disadvantages ot a propo sition, before the parties have fully \iewed the surface. Ilis move |ments are characterized by pro found judgment: his attack is no less able than his retreat Is judi cious. Mr. Rothschild’s private charac ter is, we believe, as amiable as his public life is important. He diffu ses his benevolence with judgment and liberality, When solicited to countenance an institution w:th Ins name, he answers, 4 ‘ You know I never take a public part; if you want, (as I suppose veu do) money, name the sum and you shall have it; but don’t make me look ostenta tious or mean, by naming too large or too small a sum.” His eleemo synary contributions are chiefly distributed amongst objects ot the Jewish persuasion ; who have in many instances arrived at a state of opulence through his instrumen tality. Such a liberality of dispo sition, and philanthropy of charac ter, has divested envy of her dead ly influence, and created lor Mr. Rothschild, an imperishable reputa tion, which will descend with ad vantage to his family in alter ages. A Scotch Presbyterian having heated his brain, by reading the bonks of martyrs, the cfuelties of the Span ish Inquisition and the histories of all the persecutions that ever were raised by tlie Roman Catholics against the protestarits, was seized with ‘a dread that the same horrors were just about to lie renewed. This terrible idea disturbed his imagination day and night; he thought of nothing but racks and scaffold. So strong a hold had his favorite studies taken of his ima gination, that he would relish no part of the Bible except the Revelation of St. John; a great pavt of which, he thought, rclfered to the whore of Bab ylon, or in other words the pope of Rome. This part of Scripture he perused continually, with unabating ardour and delight. In the mean time, this poor man’s terrors, with re gard to the revival of popery and per secution, daily augmented ; nature would, in all probability, have sunk under the weight of accumulated anx iety, had not a thought occurred which relieved his mind in an instant. Tim happy idea was no other than that he should immediately go to Rome, and convert the Pope from the Roman Catholic to the Presbyterian religion. —Accordingly, without cominunica ting his design to any mortal, he set out from London, took his passage to Leghorn, and in a short time after ar rived in perfect health of body, and in exalted spirits, at Rome. He directly applied to an ecclesias tic of his own country, and informed him, that he earnestly wished to have a conterrence with the pope, on busi ness of infinite importance, and which admitted of no delay. The good natured ecclesiastic endeavour ed to soothe and amuse him, putting oft’theconferrencetill a distant day. Ile happened, however, to go to St. Peter’s church, at die very time when his holiness was performing some re ligious ceremony. At this sight our impatient missionary felt all his pas sions inflamed, and he exclaimed, “ O, thou beast of nature, with seven heads and ten horns ! thou mother of harlots, arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls! Throw away the golden cup of abominations, and the filthiness of thy fornication.” One may easily imagine the aston ishment and hubbub that such an apostrophe, from such a person, in such a place would occasion ; he was carried to prison by the Swiss halber diers. At his examination,the first question which was asked ot him, was, what had brought him to Rome r” He an swered, “toannoint the eyes of the scarlet whore with eye-salve, that she may see her wickedness.” They ask ed him who he meant by the scarlet whore? He answered, “who else could I mean, but her who sitteth up on seven mountains, who had seduced the kings of the earth to commit forni cation, and who had gotten drunk with the blood of the saints, and the blood of the Martyrs.” Many other ques tions were asked, and such provoking answers returned, that some were for condemning him to the gullies, that lie might be taught more sense and better manners. But when they communi nated their sentiments to Clement the Fourteenth, lie said with great good humour “That lie had never heard of any body, whose understand ing or politeness had been much itn- }■;•• veil at that school ; (( , tin poor man’s first i”' 1 H a little rough and abrupt v \* not help considering Ifi., t gedto >"” ‘I 11 ’ I'” G’* longjournev v .ii|, ‘1 good.” He afterwards ‘mV V’H trout him with gomleueV^Hi remained in confine!
