. „„ . AMBITION.
What is Ambition? ’Tis a glorious cheat*
Angels of light walk not so dazzlingly [mine
The sapphire walls of I leaven. The unsearched
Hath not such gems. Earth's constellated thrones
Havo not such pomp of purple and of gold.
It hath no features. In its race is set
A mirror, and the gazer sees his own. .
It looks a god, but is like himself!
It hath a mien of empenr, and smiles
Majestically sweet—but how like him!
It follows not with Fortune. It is seen
Rarely or never in the rich man’s hall.
“ seeks the chamber of the gifted boy,
And lifts his humble window, and comes iu.
The narrow walls expand, and spread away
Into a kingly palace, and tho roof
Luts to tho sky, and unseen fingers work
1 he ceilings with rich blazonry, and writo
lltsi name in burning letters over all.
And ever as he shuts his wildercd eyes,
Fho phantom comes and lays upon his lids
A spell that murders sleep, and in his car
iiispcrs a deathless word, and on his brain
Breathes a fierce thirst no water will allay.
He is its slave henceforth! His days arc spent
In chaining down his hoart, and watchitig where
To rise by humau weaknesses. His nights
Bring him no rest in all their blessed hours.
His kiudred aro forgotten or estranged.
Unhcalthful fires burn Constant in his eye.
His lip grows restless, and its smile is curled
Half into scorn—till tho bright, fiery boy,
That was a daily blessing but to sec,
His spirit was so bird-liko and so pure,
Is frozen, in the very flush of youth,
Into a cold, care-fretted, heartless man!
And what is its reward? At best, a name!
Praise—when the ear has grown too dull to hear;
Gold—when tho senses it should please aro dead;
Wreaths—'when the hair they cover has grown
Fame—wLn the heart it should have thrilled is
numb;
All things but love—when love is all we want,
And close behind comes Death, and ere we know
That even these unavailing gifts are ours,
He sends us, stripped and naked, to the grave!

THE DEVIL WITH TWO TAILS.
Wo have all heard of Le Liable Bostcaux, but
it was reserved to tiiis ago, and to tho city of
Frederick, to discover tho devil wjth two toils.
On Thursday'night last, a caravan of wild beasts
arrived in this place, and put up at one of tho
hotels. Among them there chancod to bo a hrtge
elephant, which, being too large to enter auv
ordinary stable, it was found necessary to accom
modate in a largo and close carriage house.
This, it seems, had been previously taken posses
sion of as a lodging for tlio night, by a halo two
fisted negro from the mountains who was employ
ed in hauling timber to tho rail-road, and who
has never seen or perhaps hoard of an elephant
before in his life. . Ho was fast asleep when his
roommate was ushered in, and did not awake
until, as was his custom, at the first dawn of the
morning. Hearing a rustling in the straw, be
turned and looked and rubbed his eyes and lookod
again, until the pupils dilated almost to bursting—
“Hence horrible shadow, unreal mockery, bence!’’
What could it be! Tho dovil to a certainty! The
hugo mass moved and approachod him, wlton lo!
a tail at both ends put all doubts to flight, and
revealed his Santanic majesty in all tho terrors of
his reputed attributes. With one despairing
spasmodic leap, tho uflrighted wagoner rushed
against tlio door—it was locked—and there was
no other possible way of his escape. lie scream-
l for J , ®‘Pi Fio groaned in agony. Worso than
that of Sancho in tho pit, was tho predicament
of the miserable African for no kind mastcr was
within hearing to afford him protection. Tho
“Devil with two tails” stood over him, and wrap
ped his soft and flexible fore-toil eround bis neck,
and whisked it in his face—and then “ho grinued
horribly a ghastly smile.” In vain ho besought
him to havo mercy—to spare him a littlo longer.
The Dcvd with two tails heeded not his suppli
cations—but kept smelling and feeling him and
brandishing his tail, which ho now extended and
contracted, until in the imagination of tlio nogro,
there was nothing so distant or so noar as to bo
secure from it. The louder ho screamed tho
more the .devil, felt him. Shrunk up within tho
least possible dimensions in a corner of tho room,
ho awaited in a state of alarm, bordering on dis
traction, tho issue of his horribln mlvmtur*.—Tbo
town in a state of extraordinary excitement, in
consequence of the recent arrival in those parts
lof a celebrated Magician, from tho centre of Af
rica, some where in the vicinity of the Mountains
of the Moon. It was universally said, and gener
ally believed, that this character possessed & ex
ercised tho power of showing to any visitor, who
chose to comply with his terms, dead or Uviug,
whom the said visitor pleased to name. The
English travellers, after abundant inquire!*, and
somo scruples, repaired to his residence, paid
their fees, and were admitted to his Sanctum.
They found themselves in tho presence of a vory
handsome young Moor, with a very long black
beard, a crimson captain, asnow white turban,
18 inches high, blue trowsers, and yellow slip
pers, sitting cross-lcggod on a Turkey carpet,
tbreo feet square, with a cheery stalk , in his
mouth, acupofcofleeathisloftclbow, adiamond
lhafted dagger in his girdle, and in hisright hand a
large volume, clasped with brazcn.clasps-on hear
ing their errand, he aroso and kindled some spl
ices on a sort of small altar in tbc middle of the
room. He then walked round and round the al
tar for half an hour or so, muttering words to
them unintelligible; and having at length drawn
three lines of chalk about tho altar, and placed
himself upright beside tho flamo desired them to
go seek a Seer, and he was ready to gratify them
in all their desires. There were in the old days,
whole schools of Magicians here. in Europe, who
could do nothing in this line without, the- inter
vention ofa pure Seer—to witamaiden’s eye.
This African belongs to tlio same fraternity—he
made them understand that nothing could bo
done until a virgin eye was placed at his dispo
sal. Ho bade them go out in the streets of Cai
ro, and fotch up any child thoy fancied, uudet
ten years of ago. They did so; and after walk
ing about for half an hour, selected an Arab boy,
not apparently above eight, whom thoy found
claying at marbles. Thoy bribed him with a
Few halfpence, and took Imn with them to the
studio ot tho African Roger Bacon, The child
was much frightened at the smoko, and the smell,
and tho chatter, and tho muttering—but by and
by ho sucked his sugar candy, and recovered his
tranquility, and the Magician mado him scathim-
self under a window— tho only one that had not
been darkened, and poured about atablo-spoou-
ful of some black liquid into the hollow oftbo
boy’s right hand, and bade him hold tho hand
steady, and keep his eyo fixed upon tho surface
of tlte liquid; and then resuming his. old station by
tho brazier, sung out for several minutes on end
—What do you see! Allah hismilla! What do
you see! lllolla Resoul Allah! What do you
see! All tho while the smoke curled up faster
and faster. Presently tho lad said, “Bismillah!
11 see a horse—a horseman—I see two horsemen
I soe threo—1 seo four—five—six—I sco se-
[ven horsemen, and tlio seventh is a Sultan."—I
“Ilasho a fisgl” cries tho Magician.—“Ho has
three,” answered tho bov. “Tis well,” says
the other, “now half!” and with that ho laid his
stick right across tho firo. and standing up, ad
dressed tho travellers in theso words:—Name
your name—bo it of those that are upon tho
earth, orofthoso that arobenoathit; bo it Frank,
Moor, Turk, or Indian, prince or beggar, living
and breathing, or resolved into tho dust of Adam,
5000years ago—speak, and this boy shall behold
land describe. The first namo was William
Shakspearc. The Magician mado three rever
ences towards tho window, waved his. hand nine
times, sang out something beyond their interpre
tation, ana at length called out. “Boy, what do
you behold!”—“The sultan alouo remains,"said
the child—and beside him I seo a pale-faced
Frank—but not dressed like theso Franks—with
largo eyes, a pointed beard, a tall hat, roses on
his shoes, and a «hort mantle! Tho other asked
for Francis Arouet de Voltaire, and tho boy imme
diately described a lean, old, yellow-faco Frank,
with a hugo brown wig, a nutmeg grater profilo,
spindlo shanks, buckledthoes, and agoldsnuffbox!
Lord l’rudhuo now named Archdeacon IVrang-l
hum, and tho Arab boy mado answer and said, “I
perceive a tallgroy-hairod Frank, with a Mack
silk petticoat, walking in a garden, with a little
book—his eyes aro bright and gleaming—hu teeth
are white—ho is tho happiest looking Frank I
over beheld." Major Felix now named a brothor
of bis, who is in tho cavalry of the East India Com
pany, in tho presidency of Madras. The Magi
cian signed, and tho boy again answered, “1 sco
■red haired Frank, with a short red jacket and
hH« is standing by tho sea-shore
After his liberation, bo had a severe chill of sever
al hours duration, accompanied by a transient de
rangement. Having now recovered not only his
health but his courage, ho swears “by ginny ho
was not so much skccred at his bigness—but that
tarnal tail at each cud!”
Quere—Does not Sambo deservo tho premium
offered for the best original tail!—Philadelphia
Examiner.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
According to tho statement contained in tho
Bulletin of the Paris Society for tho Encourage
ment of National Industry, lately received at tho
Department of State, a set of machines havo
been invented, by the aid of which, any person,
with but littlo instruction, may prepare staves
and headings for casks with a degree of celerity
hitherto without example.
Making a cask is indeed almost ns nice an ope
ration as making a watch; tho -staves require to
bo bent and hollowed, and their edges curved
with tho utmost exactness; the difficulties attend
ing which aro such, that it is said tho Chinese,
certirillly a most ingenious people, have never
yctnroduced a barrel capable of holding water,
without covering its interior with pitch. Now,
the inventor promises that all tho more difficult
parts of the process may bo accomplished with
out requiring probably greater skill than tho man
ufacturer of ship’s blocks by Brunei’s machine.
The communication states, that, “Any person,
without being a cooper, may, in six days, prepare
the stuff for one hundred 30-gallon casks—cut
tho staves of their proper length—croe, trim,
notch and smooth them, completely—cut out,
plain and pec tho headings for tho aamo, and in
fino, render all tho parts fit for putting together,
when required, by hands; and even in this latter
irocess a secret will be taught by which time may
e saved. Tho staves, and all the corresponding
parts of the bonding, will bo precisely aliko so
that any one piece, without choice, can bo taken
and employed indiscriminately. Thus it will ap
pear that six men may, in one day, produce ono
hundred casks, ready for hooping, which casks
will be better, and neater, than any made in tho
usual manner.”
The communication is accompanied by engra
vings of tho machinery, and attached is an ad
vertisement intended to induce persons to form
associations, for purchasing the right of uso and
enjoying tho advantages of it for a certain term
of years; and he binds himself to require tho pay
ment of no sum, until his machinery has been seen
by the subscriber, to perform what ho sets forth.
Tho instruments, he says, will cost from 1,000 to
1,300 dollars, according to tlio size of tho casks
required; persons wishing to cugago iu tho specu
lation, aro directed to address the inventor him-
solfAf.de Manneville, atTrouscbourg, near Uor-
fleur, in the Department of Calvados, or Itis a-
gent in Paris, at No. 8, Ruo des Jcncurs. Trous-
sebouigh is near Havre.
He appends tho certificate of a M. do Bru
yuc, who had purchased tho right, and had, be
fore paying tho price agreed on, seen one mau
complete 60 casks in seventy two hours of work;
of which only 32 were employed in performing
what was dono by tho aid of machinery,dhe rest
being taken up in putting together and hooping.
The same articlo contains similar proposals
with regard to an invention by tho samo person,
which may be of great importance here; namely,
for sawing, smoothing, «tc., planks for fluorine.
For this, it would seem, that a power is necessa
ry, such as that of steam or water, by which,
with but littlo manual labor, an immense supply
of flooring may bo produced in complete order
for laying. This latter may perhaps bo. worth
consideration here, uud tho former likewise, es
pecially in tho eastern States, whence staves, at
preseut, aro a largo article of export, and much
would bo gained by sending them dressed.—

The eastern coast of Greenland was previous
ly very little known Between Capo Farewell
59d 45m latitude, and Cape Barclay C9 latitude*
very few points were known; tho coast was sup
posed to proceed iu a northeasterly direction, but
Captain Graoh has ascertained that its direction
is nearly north. Greenland was discovered
about tho year 682, by Erie Rauda, aud tho
Norwegians in tho succeeding ages, sent mission
aries, but. the colony appears to have entirely
dropped into oblivion about the fiftcoutii
century, .and though it was vaguely said, that
peoplo differing from tho Esquimaux in habits
and physiognomy existed somowhere, it was re
served for Captain Graah to ascertain their exis
tence with certainty, and make their situation,
known to Europe. Captain Graah’s Journal will
shortly bo published and will probably throw much
valuable light on tho real direction and position
ofuio coast of Greenland.
