What woke the buried sound that lay
In Jlemuoc'a harp of yore?
Wiiat spirit on its viewless way
Along the Nile's green shore?
Oh! not the night, and not the storm,
And not the lightning's lire;
Hut sunlight’s touch—the kind—the warm—
This woke the mystic lyre!
7his, this awoke the lyre!
Wbat wins the heart's deep chords to pour ,
Their music forth, on life,
Liko a sweet voice prevailing o’er
The sounds of toirent-striic?
Oh! not the conflict midst the throog.
Not e’on the triumph's hour:
Lott is the gifted and the strong,
To wake that music's power!
His breath awakes that power! F. ITcmans.

Macon, April 23. 1?
Russian IVives and Tea-drinktag.—A merchant
considers his wife as tho best means by which he
can make a display of his wealth. On holidays, lie
sends her to ride in a coach, “clothed in scarlet
and fine linen"—diamonds and shawls to adorn her
person; of tho latter, Russians are very extremely
fond, and sometimes give tho enormous sum of
£600 for one. In teas the Russians are very ex
travagant—a common price for the flower of tea is
fifty rubles a pound. The flower is found on the
tops of chests, and it is collected and sold separate
ly. The Eaglish use it to flavor common teas
with, but really all the tea I drank in Russia was
delicious. It is brought over land from China,
and always sold fresh, and not, as in this country,
after it has lain for tao or more years io waic hou
ses. Most excellent unadulterated tea may be
purchased in St Petersburg fot ten rubles a pound,
far superior to the belt I have elsewhere tasted.—
RussiaLS drink tea out of tumblers at all hours,
audio great quantities. Six glasacss in one por
tion.
Oil of sweet Almonds is often adulterated
with oil of poppy-seeds'. • When you suspect
this to bo the case, ugitate tho oil in a phial,
when, if there has been any such intermixture,
bubbles will attach themselves to tho sides, a
a circtumstnnco which dues not occur when the
oil is pure.—American Journal of Science.
The New Cap.—The beautiful effects of
what some people stigmatize by the name of
luxuries or superfluities, is well exemplified in
a simple little story related by Ducior Frank
lin. “The skipper of a shallop," lie says,
"employed between Cape May ami Philadel
phia, had done us some small service, for winch
he refused to bo paid. My wife, umterstaud-
ing that ho hud a daughter, sent her u present
of u now fashioned cap. Three years uitci,
this skipper being at my house with uu old far
mer ol Capo May, his p’assenger, he mentioned
tho cap, and how much his daughter had been
pleased with it. But, said he, it proved a dear
cap to our congregation. Huw so?—When
my daughter appeared with it at meeting, n
was so much admired, that all the girls resolved
to got such caps trom Philadelphia; und my wife
and 1 computed that tho whole could, not have
cost less than a hundred pounds. True, said
tho farmer, but you do not tell all the story.
1 think tho cap was, nevertheless, an advantage
to us; for it was the first thing that put our
girls upon knitting worsted minings for-sale ut
Philadelphia, that they might have whcictvithul
to buy cups ana ribbous there; and you know
that industry has continued, and is likely
to contiuuc, nnd increase to a much gtcater
value, and to answer hotter purposes. Upon
tho whole, 1 wus more reconciled to tins little
piece of luxury, since not only the girU were
made huppy by having fine cups, but the Pmla-
delphiuus by the supply oi warm mittens,"
TIME AND TRUTH—an Apologue,
BY 3. K PAULDING.
Among tbo daughters ol 'lime, the yiungost
and best beloved, wus u beuuulul maiden called
Truth. It wus foredoomed at her birth that
sho should be incapable of ,raud or deception;
that wherever she came sho would remedy the
evils of falsehood and calumny, put to flight
lorovcr the errors of mankuid, and banish
doubt, darkness, and uucortunty from the face
of tho earth, fu short, she wus to be onmjpo-
tent und eternal.
Time, who was forevor in motion, and nev
er staid a moment in one place, could uot en
dure to be without the society of his favorite
child, and as soon as she grew up, insisted on
her accompanying him every wbeio. Being
about to make tho circuit of tho universe, be
accordingly took her by tho band, and they
journeyed together.
Time had wings, but truth had none; and it
was foand she could not keep up with the old
man, who, though iiis head wus almost bald and
his beard white as the driven snow, could travel
day and night, ovor hill und dulo, sua nnd luad,
through uir and fire, without ever resting or be
ing fatigued. Impatient of delay, and incapa
ble of icstruining tho impetuosity of his motions,
he soon grew tired of tho slow and feobio steps,
of his daughter, who was ux timid as a young
fawn, and looked abuut, before, behind, on ev
ery sido, ero sho ventured forward, and telling
tier ho could nut wait fur her tardy motions
'1 imo bade her join him without fail at tho end
of die world.
Time soon finished his tour round tho globe,
hut T'tuth was (hr behind; und as ho had sworn
never to wait for any one, tho old man turned
round to make another tour, and met his daugh
ter about half way on her journey. As long
purtod friends love to tell each other all that
has passed in their absence, they related their
adventures.
'Ono day,’ said Time, *1 met a wife whose
rash husband had turned her front his door, and
divided her from her children, on account of
some unfounded jealousy. 1 would havo stay-
id to muke up the quarrel and convince him of
his orror, but 1 knew you wonld soou come
nnd set nil right. 1 hope thou didst make my
words good? Didst thou interfere in behalf of
one of thy scxV

driven her (o despair, and she perished by hc r
own hands.’
‘What a pity! but let us go on. Nej! I met
a young man who had been crossed in love in
consequence of calumnies that hud poisoned tho
mind of his mistress. A little onward and Z
encountered iliey«uog woman herself, who was
piuing uway almost broken-hearted at the sup*
posed infamy of her lover, i could not stay to
remedy their sorrows, but tokl them my daugh
ter, Truth, was just behind, and would sooo
bring about u good understanding,’
‘Alusialas!’ cried the maiden with tears io her
eyes, 'I came too late. The youth had bccomo
a Sot and u gamester, and the poor girl had died
of a broken heart.’
'Thou art dosiined it seems.to be always too
late, I wish thou wouldst go forward instead of
looking all round, and feeling thy way like a
blind man.*
’Alt! Father,Vreplied she, ‘how should I bo
assured of being always right if I did cot first
see which way 1 was going]*
‘Next,’ continued old Time, 'I carao into a
city where a man had been condemned to death
for a crime of which ho was innocent. 1 would
have stayed to do him justice, hut my moments
wore too precious, and I knew you were driso
at hand. Didst tiiou not savo him from the gal
lows?’
No—I did uot arrive in season: I saw his
body liangin: iu chaius; but 1 did justico to his
memory. Bencr late than nevor, Father.’.
'Humph!' said the old man. 'After tbit'I
arrived in a country where the people wero
preparing to murder their governor, and all his
family, on account of false reports of his having
attempted to betray them to their enemies. I
looked behind-and thought I saw thee advanc
ing, and being, as usual in a great hurry, left it
to thee to dissipate the delusion.’
•I grieve to ieli thee, O, father! that I wafi a
little too Into. Tho virtuous governor with all
his family, hud just perished, and tho wicked
calumniator in his place. 1 told them tho true ‘
state of tho case. But the lie had done its
work, und tho consequences wero irremedi
able.’
*1 wish to tho immortal Jove,' cried Time,
I wish my youngest daughter Truth, would
keep pace with my eldest daughtor Falsehood'.*
‘How should I, my Fathe , wbon she never
stops to sec whither she is going, and I am al
ways seeking the true path]*
'Proceeding onward,’ resumed old Time, ‘I
caine to where the people wt re fighting, and
cutting throats, and burning each other on ac
count of a dispute aboi t a word which each
party interpreted differently. I thought it u
great pity they could not find out which was tha
right meaning. But, said I, my daughter ix
just behind, and she will dear up tho matter; !
havo not a moment to lose. I hope thou didst
not como too late here as elsewhere]'
_ ‘Not ultogciber too late, Earlier,’replied tho
virgin; ‘but ere I came, one party had extrrmi-
uuted the other; and when I offered to tell tho
conquerors the truo meaning of tho word, they
said they knew it already us well ns J did. .!
asked them how they camo by it; they answer
ed by virtue of the right of tho strongest, and
tiien left me shouting ‘T uth is great and will
prevail!” ..
‘Poor ignorant creature!’exclaimed Time,
and shrugged his brawny shoulders. ‘As I
travelled onward from thcnco, I came to a na
tion which sacrificed human beings to q great
snake, and left particular direction with tbo
priests to stop you when you came, and be>-
como convinced of their deplorubtp errors.’
*1 stopped; but I giievo to say it was only to
iamont over their misfortunes. The day bo-
fore I arrived they had all been exterminated
by a people who came to convert them.’
‘Sluggard!’exclaimed the old than, for he ber
gan to wax wrath. But ho again resumed his
narrative. . . . •,
‘A little while after, 1 carao among a pcoplp
who worshiped graven images, and was exceed
ingly angry at their foolish idolatry. 1 could
not stay to nrgue the matter with them, and pro
claimed aloud, as I passed that my daughter was
coming to set them right. Didst thou visit
theso ignorant people]’
'I did—but alas! Father, tho very day but
ono beforo I camo they bad all been swallowed
up by an inundation!’
‘Out upon thee!’ cried Tima, no longer ablo
to restraiu his impatience at the dilatory paco
of his daughter. 'Out upon thee! Of what use
is it that thou art gifted with the power to cor- '
roct error and remedy tha mischiefs of calumny -
—of what consequence is it that thoo shall ever
C rcvuil wlicto thou contest if thou art always
igging behind the events which I bring about)
Better not como at all than too late* ,
'Father,’ replied tho weeping daughter, 'itia
not tlia< I am too slow, but that thpu art tod
swift. Remember that heaven hath givon thee
(kings, and vigor to pursue an eternal flight,
while tho feet of thy poor girl are tender, and
her I-mbs slow of pace.' If then thou wouldst
only slacken thy speed n little, I might always
keep up with thee nnd—’
‘Pshaw!* exclaimed the old man testily,'!
have not a moment to waste in hearing you •
talk.* ^
So saying, he spread his wings, shook hie
hour glass at her in anger, and vaulted forth on
anothci journey round tho world. His daugh
ter ran after him as fast as she could, and eoa
treated ho would stop, but though sho has evor
since been trying, she has never been able tax
overtake the flight of Time. T hose who know
best, however, affiim that she will undoubtedly
catch him at last, for 'Truth is great and must
prevail.'
