HYMN.
iamb has ft joy unknown in heaven,
The new-born joy of sins forgiven!
Tears of such pure and deep delight,
Y Angels! never dimm’d your sight.
Ye saw of old, on chaos rise
The beauteous pillars of the skies:
Ye knew where Morn, exulting, springs,
And Evening folds her drooping wings;
Bright heralds of th’ Eternal Will,
Abroad his his errands ye fulfil-,
Or thron’d in floods of beamy day,
Symphonious, in hia presence pla;.
Loud is the song—the heavenly plain
Is shaken with the choral strain—
And dying echoes, floating far,
I) raw ornsick from each chiming star.
But I amid ypur quires shall shine,
And all your know ledge shall be mine:
Ye on your harps must learn to hear
A secret chord that mine will bear.

f'ncts illustrative of the Powers dnil Operation*
of ike Human Mind in .1 Diseased State
tame years ngo a farmer of fan charac
ter, who resided in an interior town ni
Ne\v-Eiinland, sold his farm, wit!) an inter,-’
lion of utii chasing another in a different
town. liU mind wan naturally otu niei
anciioly cast. Shortly after the aaie of his
J’.irin, he was induced to believe that he
had sold it for less that, its value. This
persuasion brought on dissatisfaction and’
evidently a considerable degree of melan
choly. In this situation,one uftns neigh
bours engaged him to enclose a lot of land,
with a post ami rad fence, which he was to
commence making the np.vt day. At the
time appointed lie went into the field, and
begin with a beetle and wedges to split the
timber out of wine!) the posts and rails
were to be prepared. Ori tiuishiog his
day’s work, he put Ins beetle and wedges
into a hollow tree, auu went home. Two
tis his sons had been at work through the
day in a distant part of the same field. On
his return he di.ected them to get up early
the neat morning, to assist him in making
Q’ ‘ ©
the fence. In the course of the evening lie
became delirious, and continued in this
situation several years ; when his mental
powers were suddenly restored The first
question which lie asked after the return
of his reason, was whether his sons had
brought in the beetle and wedges. He ap
peared.to he wholly uncouscious us the time
that itad elapsed from the commencement
of his delirium. His sons, apprehensive
that any explanation might induce a return
of his disease, simply replied that they
had been unable to find them. He imme
diately rose from his bed, went into the
field where lie had been at wont a number
of years before, and found the wetlgcSj iml
the rings of the beetle, where lie had
left them, the beetle itself having
mouldered away. During his delirium his
rntud had not beeu occupied with those
nubjects with which it was conversant in
health.
->Mrs. Smith, an intelligent lady, belong
ing to a respectable family in Ncw-York
some years ago undei took a place of fine
needlework. She devoted her time to it 1
almost constantly, for a number of days.—,
iiefjre she had accomplished it, she became
suddenly delirious, in this state, without
experiencing any abatement of her disease,
she continued for about seven years, when
her reason was suddenly restored. One
of the first questions she asked after her
reason returned, related to her needle
work. It is a remarkable fact, that during
the loag continuance of her delinum, she
said nothing, so far as was recollected,
about her needle-work, nor concerning any
such subjects as usually occupied her at
tention when in health.
A iuily in New-England, of a respecta
ble family, was for a considerable period
subject to paroxysms of delirium. These
- aroxysms came on instantaneously, and
after continuing an indefinite time, went
off as suddenly, leaving her mind perfectly
rational. It often happened that when she
was engaged in rational and interesting
conversation, she would stop short in
the midst of it, snd become in a
moment entirely delirious, and commence
versation on some other subject, not
having tne remotest connection with the
preceding one, nor would alie advert to
}i.at during her delirium. When she be
came rational again, she would pursue the
s tine conversation in which she had been
engaged during the lucid interval,begiuing
where aho had left off.—To such a degree
was this carried, that she would complete
an unfinished story, or seutence, or word.
—When her next delirious paroxysm came
on, she would continue the conversation
wnich she liad been pursuing in her prece
ding paroxysm ; so that she appeared as a
person migiit.be supposed to be who had 2
souls, each occasionally dormant, and occa
sional! V active, and utterly ignoraut of
vhat tile other was doing.
SEAL HUNTERS.
Thfc Salem Gazette of the 4th inst. contains two
columns and a half of extracts from the jour,
rial of an officer who lud. been on an expedi.
t,u for Seal. We have condensed these ex
• t-acts for the entertainment of our readers.
but ty Advertiser.
October 6, 1820— It being the writer’s
vatch os deck, he waa aUrmctl on amm
three large shales playing under the bey. 8,
sometimestlmming themselves nearly out
of water, and at others extending themselvs
alongside, and sometimes ahead >t the
brig—had his fears quieted by the captain
who assured him there was uo danger.—
28tli Oct. arrived in Whalemen’s harbour,
(New Island, Falkland). —29th, visited a
Itiiokery, (as it is called) and found ten
acres covered with birds so thickly that it
was necessary to clear them away to pass
along , they consisted of Penguins, Alba
trosses, Hocks and Ducks—the two for
mer would not move out of their way—
the Rooks eo bold that they endeavoured
to steal the men’s caps from their heads—
November 3. went with boats to an island
opposite ; saw a rookery of grey albatross
es, which immediaetly left the inland, leav
ing the beach covered with eggs—gave it
the name of Egg Harbour.—January 11,
1821,(New S.Shetland) started with boats
in pursuit of Seal, landed and destroyed
200—17th, fell in with a rookery of Uhl
Wigs, (male seal); these seal gave battle,
and made a formidable attack, which inti
jnidated the party at first—they recovered
from their confusion and in an hour killed
94, about 10 escaped—some of them were
between 5 and G feet in length, and weigh
ed from 230 to 400 pounds—a few of the
party got round a point and killed 52 clap
maches (female sea!) and dogs (youogmale
seal fivni to two to three years old). —
JWtt’ island, April 11, 1821, anchored in
Shailop Cove—half the crew went ashore
.fter game—returned in the evening with
‘l4 geese. [These geese are of the nature
ot tame geese aud coniine themselves to
the i.siand.J Mr. Noble, of the Henry,
took a dog and caught a pig and two rab
bits. [These island are not inhabited by
| men, but have animals for their sustenance
j—April 12, a party landed in the morn
ing and relumed in the evening with 30
igeese—the dog, Growler, hud hunted three
hogs—43th, a gang landed in pursuit of
game and returned with 53 geese and two
lings, one of which weighed 150, pounds—
14tli, the hunters brought in 70 geese and
3 hogs 15th, the hunters returned with 4
hogs2rabbits & 12 geese. Caught 50 clams
this day.—l7th, agreed to attack a mock
ery oft Seal of the south end of the island
On arriving at the cliff over them, found
no means to get at them but by lowering
the men down about 200 feet, which wa
done. The seal, all but 10, escaped into
the water. - * - - -
The journal contiues from day to day,
giving the occurrences—one day while
employed in getting things into the boat, a
Rook stole the ianip and Hew oil'with it.
These birds are very numerous and are
great thieves—they fly off with every thing
they can carry, and sometimes, as if in
mere mischiaf.drop the article into the wa
ter. If you kill or wound one of these
birds, a flock of \m friends will come and ■
set him up. July 22if, the hunters took
155 geese, 9 hogs, 2 seal, 750 clams. An
interesting anecdote is here given of the
dug Growler. A small hog had beeu ta
ken, but being poor he was put in a pen to
tatten. Growler became sociable with him,
and they would cal together. When the
hog was thought sufficiently tame he was
let loose, and Growler and the hog became
companions, and always kept together. —
They one day went rabbit hunting and
Growler caught one, and seeing nobody to
take it from him, gave it to his friend the
hog wli< made a meal of tt. November
21—(New South Shetland) —caught some
ifish much resembling sea bass, ami a curi
ously formed fish 20 inches long, the head
resembling that of an Alligator,and about 8
inches loug and perfectly white—contain
ed no blood. 27ih, killed 19 seal on some
rocks, a tut found a bottle containing a let
ter from Capt Andrew Macfarlane, of the
brig Dragon, of Liverpool, dated Nov. 20,
1820, requesting the seal not to be distur
b'd by persons visiting tii<* place, as he
claimed the sealing ground by prior right.
“ Feb. 22d, 1822—Light winds from W.
S. VV. with very warm pleasant weather—
crossed over to the main island, and after
travelling about three miles over the moun
tains, we arrived at one of most lrightful
places 1 ever saw ; we had to descend n
bout 400 feet nearly perpendicular ; and
after we got to the bottom w saw about
1500 seals which were so very wild that
we got but about 47 of them.
INDIAN TREATIES.
We notice in a former paper, that S3GO,-
000 had been appropriated by Cougress,
for the purpose of defraying the expenses
which might be incurred, in holding treaties
with the Creek and Cherokee Indians, with
in the limits of Georgia. We have been
informed, that the President was applied to
by the members from this state, to nomin
ate to the Senate Commissioners for hold
ing those treaties. That the names of cer
tain persons were given to him, and ho
promised to lay them before the Senate be
fore the adjournment of Congress, as he
did not believe it was in his power to ap
point in the recess. We have been further
informed, that he did not make any nomin
ations : and unless we have been very much
misinformed, the people of Georgia may
. attribute the failure to th e friendly inter
ference us Mr. Secretary Calhoun. What
right had lie to interfere ? Does Mr. Cal
houn believe Georgia is now too large, or
growing too rapidly ?,or must he serve some
> particular friend at the expense of the
i public interest? For the people, ive teu
!der him our most greteful acknowledge
ments, for tha ■oas tiouble he lias ta
ken vpon himself.
