A SHAKE IN MUSIC. Jo Gunn, like many another one. _ In music was a screamer; So glib his tongue on music run, It might be called a steamer. No wondcr that a lad like Jo Should be on singing bent; He had a voice like any crow, Which nature she had lent. • He'd raise the music-notes sublime, He’d give them rapid fall; In keeping tune ho deemed that time Was saiity wasted all. But chief the genius of Jo Gunn Lay iu the music’* shake: lie had a method nil his own To give the rpiiiv'ring qdake. lie shook hi3 hands, he shook bis head, lie shook his feet end all; Then, breaking forth in triumph said, ••That is a shake, by gaul!"

Our promising young sister was horn on Fri day, 9th February, 1733, and therefore is now in her lumdreth year, yet though of this age and embonpoint iu appearance, she has not yet reach ed above a fourth of li-r growth- The following description, of ha christening, taken from Whitinnrsh’s SuutMl^mliuaGazette, of March. 31, 1733, will interest equally Caroli nians ami Georgian,: First Dinner, first Sermon, and first Home. ■ Account of the progress of the first colony sent to Georgia. - ,, „, „ “We set sail from Gravesend on 1/th Novem ber, 1732, in the ship Auu, of two hundred tons, Joliu Thomas, master—being about one hundred and thirty persons, and arrived off tfte bar of Charleston on. 13th January following. Mr. Ogletlior|KS went on shore to wait upon the Gov- cruor; was received with great marks of civility and satisfaction; obtained an order for Mr. Mid dleton, the* King’s pilot, to carry the *hip into Port Koval, and for small craft to carry the colo ny from'theuce to Savannah, with a promise of further assistance from the Province, lie return ed ou board the fourteentli day, and came to an chor within tiio bar of 1'ort Royal at about six teen miles distance from Beaufort. On the-18tb he went on shore upon French s IsWud, and left a guard of eight men upon John’s, being a point of that j-laud which commands tho channel, and is about half way between Beau fort ami the river Savannah. .They had orders to prepare lints for the receptiou ol the colouy against they should lie there ui their passage. , F’rom theucc he went to Beaufort town, where ho arrived about one o’clock iu the morning, and was saluted with a discharge of all the artillery, aud had tho acw bnrraeks fitted up where the uew rolouy landed on the 20th day, uud were in every respect cheerfully assisted by Lie-ui. Mutts, Eu- «igu Farrington, and the other ollieers ot Ins M.i- j-stv’s independent company, as also by Mr. No- labart, and other gcntleuicu of the neighborhood. While the Colouy refreshed themselves there, Mr. Oglethorpe went up the river, and chose n situation for a town, and entered into a treaty with Tom® Ciii Chi, the Mico, or chief of the only it'Uion of Indians living uenr it. He ro urned ou the twenty-fourth day, and they celcbrao d the Sunday following (~8th January, 1733) as a JJay of Thanksgiving for their sale arrival, and n sermon wasi preached by tho Rev . Mr. Jones, (the Rev. Dr. Herbert who came with the colony, preaching that day « Beaufort town.) There was a great resort of tho geutlemcu ot that neighborhood and their families, and a plonurul dinner provided for the colony aud ail that came, hy Mr. Oglethorpe, being four tat hogs, eight tur keys. besides fowls, Euglish beef, and other pro visions; a hogshead ofpiuich, u hogshead or beer, and a large quautity of wiuo; and all tyu* dis posed of iu so regular a maimer, that no persou was drunk, nor auy disorder happened. On the 3Utb, tile Colony embarked on boardla sloop of 7,1 tons, aud five perwugers, aud made sail, but were forced by a storm to put in .a. n place called Look Out, and to av there allmi gUt. The next day they arrived ul John s, whoa they A plentiful dinner for the Cohnu iu 1733, 4 fat Hog, d-Turkies I hogshead of Punch 1 hogshead Beer, ike. The river washes the foot of the hill, which stretches along the-side of it nbout a mile, aud forms a terrace 40 feet perpendicular above high water. From the Key, looking eastward, you may discover the river as far as the island* iu the sea, and westward, one may see it wind through the woods above sis miles. The river is a thousand feet wide, the water fresh, aud deep-enough for sloops of 70 tons, to come up close to the side of the Key- It is uot improbable; that the preceding account was furnished by Gsn. Oglethorpe. * Our lister should iu February next prepare her Centennial festival- It would'b* an amusing il lustration of tier sudden magnitude to contrast, ll itli a tcanty dinner for. the State in 1833, 12,000 fat Hogs 24,000 Turkic*/ 3,000 hhds. of Punch 3.000 hhds. Beer. fine. Topics abound upon which her Centennial Or ators might insist with justifiable pride. Among others they may with safety assent that she ha, surpassed every one of ilie old thirteen in the ra pidity of her growth. Pennsylvania, ubotc pro gress during tier first rmturv exceeded that of nil tho others, possessed in'1/00, which was 110 years after her settlement, a population of 4-4.1.- 000. Georgia, before she has completed her first century, has reached *510,000. Again, those of the old”thirteen who nre beyond tho Potoinuc, iu- dulge much self-complacency iu the delusion that their movement is all celerity, and that the South' is sluggish, stationary, aud rather advancing back- icards. Now, bo Isir from tilts being- the fact, Georgia has distanced every one of them in her increase, except New York, *ind her she has clearly beat. The population of Pennsylvania at present is but somewhat mere than three times its amount forty years ugn, that of New York less than six .times, whereas that of Georgia ap proaches sevenfold its amount in 1790. Another truth, which a Georg! :n may be ex cused in contemplating wirli satisfaction, may be specified: it is this, that'while the “Old Domin ion'' is yit-ldidg to an incxplirable infatuation Which will destroy hersolf, and is already shak iug the foundation of Southern prosperity, this young member of tho American family cherishes the spirit, and resolutely adhere to luc institutions of the Plantation States. IVa admire her fideli ty. May she ever continue the profitable, oonlevt of seeing which ran do the other the most good, with her sister aud friend, . . SOUTH CAROLINA From the Consti’.uiimalist of the 2d March. On this day ...forty-one years ago, diod that ex traordinary and highly esteemed rum Jopn NVes- let—the founder of a Church—powerful in pie ty, talents, numbers and wealth. Mr. Wesley was born in the year 1703, ami at the age of six, had a narrow escape from the flames, which induced him to adopt as bis motto —••Is not this a brand plucked from the burn- ing.” _ ' llis education was classical, and about 1730, ;md his brother Charles founded the Society of Methodists; called so at first in derision, from a sect of Physicians at Rome, founded by "Tllem-. ison—differieg iu practice, from others of the fac ulty—and also, from ccrtaiu polemic Doctors who sprpnc up iu the 17th century, and zealous ly defended the Church of Rome. • in 173oi thr brothers cama to this country with the view of converting the Indians. In the same vessel with them was a company of Moravians, and it has been affirmed, thatTrum an intercourse with these during the pn-sage—came much of that strict economy by which ;be Methodists are distin guished. Mr. Wesley was at first greatly shocked at, and opposed to field'preaching, then successfully pur sued by his friend W liiificM—but he soon gave up his objections, aud engaged in y it zealously himself. In 1739, a meeting house was built, and a society of Methodists formed at Bristol. In 1742, Wesley aud \\ bitfield differed on doctrinal points—each took liis course—but Mr. \l esley proceeded to organize his sect. He established class-meetings—animal conferences—appointed preachers and conferred the title ol Bishop. Mr. Wesley is supposed to have travelled uear 300,000 miles and to have preached 40,000 ser mons. He published several volumes of sermons, hymns and tracts. .

The same were the Castor and IVdux of the auciunts.— Smnd writers iinve attempted to account tor the phenomena, particularly for the ignis fatuu,, by supposing it to 'bit occasioned ov successive- swarm, of flying glow-worms, or other insects of tho same nature, liut,-as Dr. Shaw observe,, not to perceive or ft cl any of these insects, even when the light of which they produce spreads iftelf tifouud us, should induct; ns to explain both tiiti, nppcarntMc and th# other, on the received principle that they arc actually meteors, or a'spe cies ,of natural phosphorus.'—Edinburgh Cabinet Library.
