The Sea, the Sea, the deep green Sea,
My fortunes now, arc all on thee:
Thy placid brow is smooth and bright,
Reflecting back the golden light—
But deep within thy bosom reign,
The spirits of the angry main;
And but a breath it needs to raise
Their anger to a fervent blaze;
To wake them from their dreamy sleep,.
Aud rouse the fury of tho deep.
Deceitful Sea, deceitful Sea,
There’s no dependence e’er on thee;
Thy face so mild, thy mien so fair,
Embosoms’dread destruction there.
The ripple? o’er thy surface move,
Like dimples on the cheeks of Love;
Thy heaving bosom, tip’d with white,
Like beauty in her robes so 'light,
Thy crested waves, that onward rush.

But found at length, that it reduced his rent;
His farms were flown; when !o! a sale comes on,
A choice collection. What is to be done?
He sells his last, for lie the w hole will buy;
Sells even his house; hay, wants whereon to lie.-
So high the generous ardor of the man
For Remans, Greeks and Orientais ran.
When terms were drawn, and brought him by the

One Hundred dollars Reward!
ANAWAY 7 from the subscriber, about the
7th July last, a hired negro fellow by the
name of DAVE, who belongs to Thomas Price.
As this is not the first time said fellow has runa
way after being hired out, it is believed he has
been furnished with a ticket, authorising him to
go off to a distance and hire out his own time.
For the apprehensiou of the negro, aud proof of
this fact, sufficient to conviction, I will give one
hundred dollars, or twenty dollars for the boy a-
lone. Said Dave is a tall black fellow-, about 30
years of age. It is probable he is up at the gold
mines. DAVID RALSTON.

Caring a Hypochondriac.—A gentleman who
bad for a long time fancied himself dying of a liv
er complaint, was advised by Dl\ Crawford, of
Baltimore, to make an excursion into tho State
of Ohio. After travelling three mouths, he re
turned home, apparently in good health; but, up
on receiving information of the death of o. tw in
brother, who had actually died of schirrbous liv
er, he immediately staggered, and falling down,
cried cut lie w-as dead, and had, as be always ex
pected," died of a liver complaint. Dr. Crawford
being sent for, immediately attended; and, on be
ing informed of the notion which had seized the
hypochondriac, immediately exclaimed, “O yei,
the gentleman is certainly dead, and it is more
than probable his liver was the death of him.—
However; to ascertain the fact, I will hasten u»
cut him open before putrefaction takes place.”
He called for a carving knife, and w betting it
as a butcher would to open a dead calf, he step
ped up to him, and began to open his waistcoat.
The hypochondriac became sc.horribly frighten
ed, that ho leaped up with the agility of a rabbit,
aud'crying out ‘‘Murder! Murder! Murder!” ran
off with a speed that would have defied a score of
doctors to catch him. After running a consider-
able distance, until he was almost exhausted, he
halted; and not finding the doctor at his heels,
soon became composed. From that period this
gentleman was never known to complain of his
liver; nor had he, for more than twenty years af
terwards, ar.ysyrnptoms of this disease.
•Some queer fellow in Philadelphia inquires of
Mr. Chandler of the Gazette, the tneaning of dry
wine. Wine being liquid; it "strikes the inquiring
gentleman as a little out of order to cali it dry.—
The Editor’^ answer is very satisfactory. H«
says dry wine, means wine imported in empty
bottles.

A Snake's nest.—Whilst fallowing a field, one
of my ploughers turned up a nest of eggs the co
lor of turtle’s eggs aud about the size (uot larger.);
On breaking them I found in every egg a live
snake between six and seven inches long, and
nearly as large as a man’s little fiuger. When
the snake r. as out of the egg, from its size you
would have thought it impossible: it could have
been enclosed iu so small a compass. There
were thirty-two eggs. Several gentlemen aud
myself examined them together, and were of o-
pinion they were the kind of snake called Moca-
sin. On examining Nicholson’s American edi
tion of the British Encyclopedia, I find it stated,
“some serpents are viviparous, as the rattlesnake,
the viper, &c., whilst the innoxious species ar*
oviparous.” It is well known that we have u«
serpent, amongst us (just above tide-water in Vir
ginia) that is more noxious than the Mocasin. If
you think this communication is worth its room
in your paper you are at liberty to insert it.

Cholera Anecdote.—-The following anecdote i«
in circulation and saiu to be authentic:—An indi
vidual of fortune being awoke by a severe cholic,
fancied himself attacked by the cholera and sent
off immediately for physicians, desiring his ser
vant iri tho mean time to rub him with a flesh
brush. When the medical gentlemen arrived,
they found their patient of the most terrific ap
pearance, having turned quite black from head t@
foot; but on a closer examination they found
that the color was not that of the skin, aa it cam*
off on being touched, and at length it was dis
covered that the poor servant in his flight had
laid hold of the blacking brush, and thus varnish
ed the body of his suffering master, who. after
the administration of some usual remedies, and
the application of a warm bath, soon recovered
his health and fair complexion.—French Paper.
Cholera among flies.—It is a singular fact that
wherever the cholera prevails, the flies die. Ne
ver before were there seen so few flies in Liver
pool as at present. Butchers, grocers, and pro
vision shops are quite free.—Liverpool Journal.
We hare observed that flies are less abundant
this summer in New York than usual, though by
no.means so scarce as they appear to bo in Liv- .
erpool. Some other species of insects flourish re
markably well in a Cholera atmosphere; particu
larly a worm three quarters of an inch to an inch
in length encased iu a sheath except its head.
This, however, is an essential part of the insect,
as it answers the purpose of legs, hands, anti
mouth. With it the insect walks, lets itself down
by means of a thread manufactured for the occa- .
sion, from whatever object it wishes to descend,
and devours an immense quantity of foliage.
There are 12 or 20 larch trees in Prince end /
Greene sts. so completely possessed by these in
sects, that mo3t of the leaves have entirely disap
peared and what few remain, look a» if they
had passed through the fire.—Joto of Com.
