DESERTED EDEN.
BT Ma*. LTtSLA. a. UaoriMCT.
A solemn voice, at cool of day,
In Eden’s garden shade, —
The Maker walking ’mid his works—
But none an answer made.
A rustling of ethereal wings,—
A gleam of radiant vest,—
And hovering forms of light, that deign’d
To be a mortal guest.
Rich gifts they bar* —the dews of love
That healed the spirit-wound,—
The seed of happy, holy dreams,
To sprinkle all around; —
The fragrant fruit* that near the Throne,
In blest luxuriance wave, —
Yet tears upon th 'se tr- asures fell,
For none a welcome gave.
No prayer arose.—The wondering birds
Withheld their wonted lays,—
For no sweet tone responsive rang,—
No carol’d hymn of praise.
Th* cool, clear lake, where Eve at first,
Her mirror’d brow survey’d,
Reflected now the threat’ning cloud,
And trembled at its shade; —
The vines unclasp’d, the rept le fang
Pierc’d deep the tender fl >wer,
And noisome weeds exulting snrang
Where rose the nuptial bower.
The lion, who with gentle heart
Had roam’d the verdant path,
Now turned upon the startled kid
An eye of burning wrath—
The crested serpent wound bis way
in glittering green and gold,—
The fearful curse not fully felt,
That o’er his head had roll’d.
A thunder sound I—The warring wind*
A deafening clamor ke >t, —
And the first storm o’er Eden’s breast
In awful vengeance swept.
Then low the terror-stricken plants
Buw'd down in sudden dread,
And felt that Eden’s soul of peace
With innocence had fled.
O’tfr erashing trees and frighted floods,
Rushed on the whelming blast,—
No bow of merey on the skies,
Announced God’s wrath was past.
But from their arch, a sheeted flame,
The lightning s reddest ire,
In strange and dir suspension hung
A sword of living fire; ,
And fixing at the faded gate
In flashing vengeful guise,
Forever barred the foot of sin,
From forfeit Para llse.
Man was not there to mark the woes
His rebel hand had wrought,—
The smitten earth,—the angel's tear, —
The cloud with anger fraught,—
i For forth had gone the exil’d pair
To take their lot of wo,
And earn their bread 'mid toil and care, —
Where thorns and thistles grow.

A few evenings since, attended by a fine look
ing, dark-haired boy, apparently iburteen or fit
taen year* of age, a richly dressed lady, in the
mellow flush of life,’ might have been seen en
tering th* National Theatre, and taking one 01
the front seats in the box. A seraph might
have envied the serene composure of ner coun
tenanae, and melting softness ot her deep t-lu
eyes; and yet at times, one could persuade him
self an expression ol anxiety mantled her rub)
cheeks. Ladies and gentlemen, as usual, cam
in, and the theatre soon woie its wonted aspect
—‘acloud of witnesses.’ There she sat, the
mistress of an entire seat in Iront, as though
her extreme beauty and the commanding look
which ever accompanies dignity ot mind, for
bade a nearer approach to her person. Present-.
ly a lady and gentfeman, dressed in dashing
gaiety, entered the circle. They were shown
the room she occupied, and were soon comfort
ably fixed. A sudden emotion—thrill—seeineu
to seize the ‘ fair ladye,’ which was manifested
by the trembling of the artificial flowers on her
bonnet. Her ey«« weje insia tly turned Irom
them, and flashed witn a - mrmanry -we wave
rarely seen, while her brow contracted, an.
face colore so deeply as to raise a momentary
doubt of her beuMthe same person. Ina few
moments she wflßgain composed, but see neo
as if on the point ot some movement fraught
with interest to hA The drop-leaf rose; she
looked not toward the si ‘ge. i'he house thun
dered with the reception ota favorite actor, she
seemed to hear it not. In a moment she turned
her head, and gazed long and steadily on the
young man who had entered with the lady at
her side. He was convulsed with laughter—
absorbed in the scenes passing befote him
Turning to address his companion he caught
the fierce glance ot her eye. It was enough.—
He trembled; grasped his hat; rose to his leet,
and was about to quit the place, when ids com
panion observed him. Again he seated himseli
—we watched him closely—he was agitated !*-
yond description. Whispering a moment to
gether, they rose and left the theatre, leaving the
strange lady and her boy again in possession ol
the entire seat.
Yesterday we learned the cause of this mys
terious affair—our source ot information is im
material to the reader—from a person of un
doubted veracity. About three year* since th'
gentleman was a residentj'f .Vlouile, Alabama,
and in moderate circumstances of lite. He was
what may be called a gay, social soutbernei.
By attention and perseverance he succeeded in
winning the affections of this y. mng lady, the
daughter of a wealthy merchant ot the same
city. As soon as his pretensions were known,
the father prohibited his visits, and threatened
the daughter with disinheritance and abandon
ment, if she would longer permit his attentions.
In this state ot things he prevailed upon her to
consent to a clandestine marriage, which wa
accordingly solemnized. They lived logethei
near two years, when the man became involv
ed—lost all he was worth at the gaming table—
and from want of employment was reduced to a
state ot degradation in society. Sickening at
the melancholy prospect belore him, he quitted
the city without let!ing his affectionate and con
tiding wife know of his intentions. For six
months has he resided in Cincinnati; passed
for a single gentleman, and has been paying his
addresses to one, if not more, of the first young
ladies of our city.
The father-in-law of the young man died in a
few months after he left Mobile, and turougb
compassion for a deserted and miserable wile
he received his daughter to his arms once more,
and leßher all his wealth. With her relative,
the boy above named, she soon alter journeye,
to New Orleans,|irom thence to Natchez, hear
ing nothing of his whereabouts. A few days
ago she arrived in Cincinnati, as yet uncon
scious of his being here. On the evening allu
ned to, she visited the Theatre, and as we have
described, found the idol of her true heart in a
situation not at| all pleasing to her mind or in
accordance to her wishes. They met on yes
terday morning at her boarding house, and in
tears of gratitude and joy, so far compromise'
the matter, that the hopeful and eccentric young
husband ha* determined to accompany his more
faithful and romantic bride back to the sunn)
city ot Mobile. W hile we were listening to
this narrative, we thought as we heard a ‘ still
small voice’ whisper— 1 This is woman’s love,
the only thing that changeth not!’ May Hea
ven bless the re-united pair.— Cin. Sun.
Floating Alarm Whistle.— Among Mr. Hobb’s
numerous inventions tor the preservation ot life
and property at sea, is a floating alarm whistle,
of such power as to be heard a distance ot many
miles. It is somewhat similar to a large barrel
organ, with a downward projection in the centre,
and moored by a check chain to the bottom ot
the sea, to prevent a heavy sea from upsetting
it. The repeated motion of the waves gives
a continual seesaw motion, ard there is an ar
rangement of valves, by which at every depres
sion the water eould be carried through the bot
tom from the centre to the end ot the shaft,
driving out the air which had entered at its pre
vious rising, up a chimney. The whistle I*
composed ofnine powerlul tongues on the ac
cordion principle, and there is an arrangement
by which nine mor* powerful tongues act, but
only in very rough weather, thus increasing the
sound, during the further raging ot the storm.
A sounding beaeon is al-o among his valuable
inventions, for fixing on rocks, and which, al
ways turning its mouth to the wind, would in a
small, current make a powerful noise.
Habits of Sfidiks.—The following curious
fact is given on the authority of Mr. Spence:—
Having plaeed a large full grown spider on a
cane planted upright in the midst of a stream of
water, he saw it deaoend th* cane several times
and remount when it had reached the surface ol
the water. Suddenly be altogether lost tight of
it, but a few moments afterwards to his aston
ishment, perceived it quietly making it* way on
the other side ol the stream. The spider having
spun two threads along the cane, had cut one of
them, which, carried by the wind, had become
attached to some object on the bank, and to
served the spider as a bridge across the water.
11 is supposed that when adult, always
use similar means to cross water.

Cause of ths sun and moon standino still.
—Last evening, the first ot a series of lectures
--on the cause which produced the miracles of
the sun and moon standing still, and also of the
sun moving backwards on the sun-dial of Ahaz,
as recorded in the Holy Scriptures, to be de
monstrated astronomically and experimentally,
and illustrated by diagrams and apparatus—was
delivered by Mr. R. Linton, at the Royal As
sembly Rooms, Great street The lec
turer commenced by stating that the phenomena
he was about to illustrate were recorded in the
10th chapter of Joshua, and 12th verse, the 20th
chapter of Second Kings, and 1 Oth verse, and the
30th chapter of Isaiah, and Bth verse; and that
if he could make it appear that the miracle in
the case of Joshua had been produced without at
all interfering with the fixed lawsof nature, but,
on the contrary, with the present acknowledged
solar system, the cavils of the sceptic and the
infi lei would be silenced, and God s unlimited,
power magnified. He then reviewed the lead
ing circumstances connected with the miracle,
beginning with God’s promise to Abraham, that
in his seed all nations ot the earth should be
blessed—and following the course ot the chil
dren of Israel through the Red Sea and the
Wilderness under the command of Moses, and
subsequently under that of Joshua. He showed
that Moses possesed the power of working mir
acles on the animal, vegetable, and mineral
kingdoms, anil .hat Joshua first proved thatthe
hand of the Almighty was with him by dividing
and passing over the’River Jordan, and next by
ccmmandinz the sun to stand still over Gibeon,
and the moon in the valley of Ajalon. He then
shotted that the miracle had been performed at
a time ot great emergency, inasmuch as Joshua
and all Israel would have been hemmed in a
mongst the mountain pass’s, with which they
were wholly unacquainted, and put to the route
by the enemy against whom they were then en
camped, had not the light of the sun and moon
been prolonged. It was somewhat unfor.unaie,
he said, that the Book of Jehon, which, accor
ding to Josephus, contained a minute record of
■vhat had occurred to the Jews from year to year,
and also of the particulars of the extraordinary
miracfes, should have been lost, as it most
probably was at the destruction ot the temple;
but still it was matter of thankfulness that we
possessed the written evidence of both the
Chinese and the Egyptians, in addition to the
Scriptures, that a disturbance of the sun had
taken place. The dat ■of the Chinese account
corresponded with the Israelitish. The Egyp
tian account neither gave the date nor the mo
tive, but it furnished that which was still better,
tiecause it was the only point wanted in ordel to
establish the fact on philosophical principles.
It gave us the observations of the effect produced
on the Sun by the miracles; in other words, it
gave us the course o f the Sun during ttie miracle;
and those three testimonies taken together were
amply sufficient to solve the problems, the dif
ficulty of which had baffled philosophers in all
ages. The lecturer then proceeded to show
that if Joshua had asked, what sceptics generally
allege he ought—for the earth to stand still,
there would have been a general deluge caused
by the overflowing of the ocean, and tha' in ask
ing for the sun to stand still (which it always
does), he was simply asking for the light to
stand still—light being the primitive word for
sun. He therefore simply requested a prolong
ation of light from both sun and moon; and the
phenomena was produced without interfering
with the earth’s rotatory motion for a moment.
The lecturer promised tointroduce the diagrams
at the second lecture on Friday next.—London

Narrow Escape.— 1 here have been so ma
ny hoaxes success! ully palmed off upon the
public in the shape ot ‘Bear stories,’ that it
is with some reluctance we publish the follow
ing statement, although we have itdirectly uvei
the signature of Mr. Samuel Carter, of Perry,
who obtained the facts, as he says, irom Mt
Bird, whom he characterizes as a man ot un
doubted character. We give Mr. Cartel’s owl
words, as follows:
Two young men, Charles Partridge an<
James M. bird, shouldered their gins oi
Thursday week, and with knapsacks and can
teens well filled with the good things of thi
world, sallied lot th into a neighboring wood in
search of game. They had travelled about loui
miles, when they found themseLes in the mids
ot a heavy growtn ot hemlock, and near by war
a boiling spring. Being fatigued with theii
ramp, they seated themselves on a felled tre<
near the spring, and were regaling themselves
with a little ol the good creature, when their ai
tention was suddenly arrested by a rustling
among the bushes and dry leaves, which la\
them. They
weapon ol defence, (their buttle,) having lei
their guns leaning against a tree behind them,
and two huge bears planted between themselve
and the tree. In this situation they tried ti
(t ighten the bears by hallooing. The bears
however, were not to be hissed down ; but show
ed a disposition to commence hostilities, by ad
vancing toward them, snarling and
their teeth like hungry cannibals.
Their case, lor a short time, appeared desper
ate indeed. Partridge lainted with fright, am
fell to the ground, which was a little descending
and rolled, as if by design, ifiimediately undei
a large cut of hemlock bark, which was raise;
from the ground; and as became in contac
with it, it tell from the limb which supported it
and brought ii exactly over his body, which i
all that saved his lite. His companion, being
a very athletic man, took to a tree,and inclimb
ing was but very little in advance of bis pursu
ers. Both bears at first ascended the tree aitei
him, but one soon abandoned it and went off
through the woods.
As soon as Bird :iad ascended as high as ht
deemed prudent, by supporting himselt with hi’
hands, he was enabled to keep the remaining
bear at bay with his feet. This he did lot
about filteen minutes, when in attempting to gei
a long knife from his pocket, with one hand, hi
lost his hold upon the tree and came down upon
the bear with his whole weight, which was more
than poor Bruin bargained for. They boil,
came to the ground, Bird topmost. In descend
ing the bear tell across a limb, which broke,
and the pieces inverted, and penetrated so fai
into his side as to cause his death immediately.
The only damage Mr. Bird sustained was the
loss of his pantaloons, and about twenty scratch
es upon the calves of his legs, which are not se
vere. It is supposed the bears were induced to
quit their dens by the lumbermen who are ope
rating near the place where they were fitst dis
covered.—Bangor Enquirer.
A Yankee’s Idea of a Conveyance Office.
—The Picayune" tells the following admirable
story ot a do« n east “iuguns” (onion) merchant
who recently made his debut in that City. A-
Oout 1 o’clock yesterday, when the rain came
thickest and heaviest, an individual wearing a
very high-crowned, narrow-leated bat, a sbort
sktrteo, laded, sky-blue colored coat, a striped
vest, pants to match, that reached to the region
of the calves ot his legs, and a pair of horseskin
boots, entered tl.e conveyancer’s office in St.
Philip stieet. His hair hung down his neck in
their clotted locks, and he seemed anything at
all but pleased with Southern scenery, as it
then presented ilseli to his view.—He was a
genuine Down East Yankee, who came out
.roni VVeaihersfieltl, Connecticut, with an ad
venture or speculation ol inguns (onion-). He
wandered down into ths lower part of the city,
and as every one he met was a “ parleyvoo,”
. as he said, lie thought he would never get out of
iiie“cusstd foreign country,” and it was with
ihe idea of making his exit in the quickest pos
sible manner, that he entered at the door over
which “ Conveyance Office” was written. Jon
athan seeing toe man of “deeds” at his desk,
thus addtessed him —“ How u’jedul"
« onveyaru.tr— ‘ Your most obedient.'
Jonaman—“ That ere’s considerable of a
shower, 1 guess, Sqtiite.”
Conveyancer— “ Yes, it rains rather Ireely.”
Jonathan — “ No wonder yon baint got no
inguns here ; this rain would make them so
salt that they’d run right spang up to seed.”
Conveyancer— “ J dare say.”
Jonathan— “ But ’odrat the inguns, I wish I’d
never brought any here. 1 wish I’d took Amt
Prudence's advice;‘Jonathan,’ said she,‘you
take my advice and never go down to Luzy
anner. it you ainl killed off by the yaller le
ver, you’ll be swallered whole by the alienators
—it'sanorful country,’ says she, “and soit is.
But that a ; nt nothing, no way.—Let us come to
the pin , as the fellers said that were a goin to
fight with small swords.”
Conveyancer— “ I should be happy you would,
sir.”
Jonathan —“ Then you be a conveyancer—you
keep this conveyance office 1”
Conveyancer— “ 1 do.”
Jonathan —“ Then how’ll you trade for con
veying me up to where my sloop lies, opposite
Julia street ? Jest hitchon a good horse to a
cab, and convey me right longsida of the May
flower, aud I’ll give you twostun ot as good in
gur.s as ever diew a tear from a widder’s eye.”
The Conveyancer, thinking his Down East
visiter was trifling with him, ordered him to
leave his office instantly. Jonathan, seeing
detei urination in his eye, took the hin>, and
mads bi* exit in very long and rather rapid pa
ces swearing that “ these Luzyanner folks were
the most darned conscriptions creatures in all
creation.”

Fisher Ames.—The following passage from
the Biography of Fisher Ames, by the late Presi
dent Kirkland, is worthy of being printed in
letters of g. Id. Would that it could be read and
regarded, as it* importance demands, by every
young man in our country:
“ W hen vice approaches the youthful mind,
in the seductive form bf a beloved companion,
the ordeal becomes threatening and dangerous
in the extreme. Few possess the prudence and
unyielding firmness, requisite to pass it in safe
ty. Those who have been accurately observant
of the dependence ot one part 11 life on another,
will readily concur with us, that Ames’ future
character derived much ot its lustre, and his
fortunes much ot their elevation, Irom the un
tainted purity and irreproachableness of his
youth. Masculine virtue is as necessary to
real eminence, as a powerful intellect. He that
is deficient in either, will never, unless from the
influence of fortuitous circumstances, be able
to place and maintain himself at the head of so
ciety. He may rise and flourish for a time, but
his fall is as certain as his descent to the grave.
He who holds parley with vice and dishonor is
sure to becvdie their slave a.id victim. That
heart is more than half coirupted, that does not
burn with indignation at the slightest attempt to
seduce it.”
Sir Walter Scott, as is well remembered in
Edinburgh, laughed outright at the delusive no
ions ot lighting lows with gas, and yet lived to
become chairman, ot a gas company. We
find from the pamphlet a “ Reproof ol
Brutus,” that a writer in the “ British
Critic” had committed himself still more
strongly in reference to the absurd ideas
about gas-lighting. “ To those critics (proceeds
our author,) who are prompt to decide upon phil
osophical truths, upon which their previous
pursuits and studios do not render them compe
tent to pronounce a sound judgment, I recom
mend the perusal ot the article in the ‘British
Critic,’ October, 1808, upon ‘A Heroic Epistle
to Mr. Winsor, the Patentee ot the Hydro car
bonic Gas Lights,’ commencing thus :—‘We
hail Ibis effusion as one of the happiest, most
pointed, and most witty pieces of satire on a
temporary delusion, which has appeared since
the days of Swift. The individual to whom it
is addressed, the subject which has engaged his
attention, the curiosity of the public towards him,
and their tep eated disappointments, are all mat
ters of sufficient notoriety.’ If the critic is still
living, it is to be hoped 'hat he has improved in
modesty.” This is fairly hit.
Love of Home.—The Irish are often ridicu
led, or contemned, for vaunting the comfortable
homes they have left behind them. “ The Al
mighty knows,” they say, “ what we’ve come
here for, we were a dale belter off at home !.’
This is false in word, but true in feeling. Their
earnest affections take possession of their
memories, and efface all but that which made
the happiness ot their birth-place, and childhood’s
home. There, in perpetual freshness, are the
joys of youth; the associations of song and story
re there; there, in golden light, all the bright
passagesoflife—its pleasantacquaintanceships,
„nd sparkling incidents. And there, those min
isters of suffering, trial, superstition, even death
itself, have their root of sorrow plucked out,
and bee me ministering angels, messengers
from another world! Who ever looked back
upon borne, through the vista of time, or the
wide spaces of distance, and saw any thing but
light and beauty there? Surely, then,the poor
Irish may be pardoned the hallucinations of
their filial love.
Tobacco in Connecticut in times past.—
The Hartford Journal says the following was
handed them for publication by a friend, who re
ceived it from a very aged citizen ot Connecti
cut, upon whom it was served during the exist
ence of the Blue Laws:
“ Tobacko.— Forasmuch as it is observed, that
many abuses are crept in and committed, by fre
quent taken of tobacko,
“It is ordered, That no man within this colo
nye, after the publication hereof, shall take any
lubacko publiquely in the streett, highwayes or
any barne yardes, or uppon training dayes, in
any open places, under the penally ol six pence
for each offence against this order, in any of the
particulars thereof to bee paid without gaine
-aying, uppon the conviction, by the testimony
oi one witness that is without just exception be
lore any one magistrate. And the constables in
he sev»ral townes are required to make present
ment to e;foh particular courts, of such as they
loe understand and can give evic to bee trans
gressors of this order.”
Indian Wit.—The Caddo Gazette of the 10th
elates an ar.ecdote, told to the editor by Gov.
Butler, who has lately returned from the Indian
ecuntiy, which shows in a strong light the na
ural wit and penetration of the ted man of the
©rest. It appears that Gov. Butler, in order to
how the good feeling and friendship existing
.etween the United States and the esteni
ribesof Indians, requested Stanley, the young
irtist who accompanied him on his late visit to
he Indian eounjry, “to sketch two hands em
bracing each other; the one of a red man and
he other a white man, with the “calumet ol
r xqtrisite style of that young and highly gifted
lainter. Alter its completion, the young Cu
nanche chief, to whom he was about to present
it, proposed, very appropriately, an addition to
he picture, by drawing under the hands, and in
mmediate proximity, the head ol a bull-dog, to
;>ite, as he said the hand which provetj treacher
ius. The group was finished and transferred
o the Indians, to their gr*at amusement and
gratification.”
An American Brig searched by a British
Cruiser.—We have been favored by Capt.
Moore, of the brig John M. Clayton, tYhich
.r rived here yesterday from Barbadoes, withan
extract from the brig’s log, by which it appears
that on the Ist inst., in lat. 13 30, lon. 6100, while
jn 'he passage to Barbadoes, a British man oi
war schooner, said to be the Hornet, fired a gun
or him to heave to, that he (Capt Moore) hoisted
he American flag and kept on his course; that
he schooner fired again and her shot fell short
of him; he still kept on his course and she fired
a third shot, which passed under the brig’s stern ;
and that she then fired a fourth shot which passed
between the brig’s masts. Capt. Moore then
hove to, until the schooner sent her boat along
side with an officerand five men. The officer
overhauled the brig’s manifest and papers, say
ing to Capt. Moore that he came very near firing
into him. He then searched the hold, ordered
the Captain to make sail on the brig, and return
ed to his schooner.
Capt. Moore authorises us to say that the re
port in the Herald a day or two ago was not
correct, and that he was not off the Isle of Pines,
as was stated in that journal.— N. O. Tropec

“The Fruitful Far West.”—We have
been infinitely amused at the following serio
comic epistle, which we find in the Memphis
Eagle. The editor of that paper gives it at the
close oi a very pretty paragraph about the “far
west,” as an illustration ot the fruitfulness ofthat
delectable land. He says that the epistle is nei
her more n ir less than a young western moth
er's account ol herself to his better halt. A few
years since they were giddy girls, and wild,
irolicksome school-mates ; now both are testing
the realities of womanhood and rearing fami
lies. Our heroine married a clever farmer, and
moved to the “tar west.” In her last, she
wiites;
“ Dear Cousin: I have another daughter,
named , making six children, already.
I declare, J—, lam almost crazy sometimes
when I think and took upon the host of brats
around me. I have no time to do anything in
the world, but stay at home and drudge and
scold. I don’t expect to stop under fifteen chil
dren, and the thought is not at all gratifying.—
But we are living in the abundant and fruitlul
“lar west,” and should have expected nothing
else, before «e came out; everything grows in
pi ©portion, and so I suppose I have no reason to
complain. Affectionately,” &c.
Rich.—At a Locotoco convention recently
held in Tippecannoe county, Indiana, a friend
of Mr. Cass moved a resolution to the following
effect:—“ Whereas,’General Lewis Cass em
igrated to the west from New Hampshire in
early lile with his knapsack on his back, and
unsheathead his sword in repelling the Ind'ans
from our Northwestern frontier and infighting
against the British duringthelast war: There
ore, resolved, that he ought to be supported by

he was “a member of the Legislature of Ten
nessee, at the time the resolutions were adopted,
charging Henry Clay with ‘ bargain, intrigue,
and corruption,’ and that he had voted forthem.
He had lived to see that he was then in error—
had done that great and good man injustice—
and as an honest man he took back that vote.
If he were now in the Legislature he would vote
to repeal that voteot the Legis ature.” Hesaid
“He was a Whig in the fullest sense of the

Auction. —The selling goods by auction, is 1
acustom of Roman origin and antiquity, con- I
' listing pretty' much in the same form as it does
now. in the Roman sales, a spear was fixed in
the Forum and by it stood a crier, who proclaim
ed the articles. The seller was called acutor,
and the bidder sectors, the one referring to tbe
profit which wastbe former’s immediate object
to augment, and the other to the articles, which,
being in small quantities, passed as it were, into
the hands of dividers. The bidding was signi
fied by holding up the fingers. The magistrates
permission was also necessary for the sale.
About the Forum were a nu rnber ot silversmiths,
or other banker’s shops, where things sold by
auction were registered and sealed. At these
shops the auctions were in general made, in or
der that they might note on tables (catalogues)
the names of the buyers : and the goods were
delivered under the magistrate’s authority.
Buying in or redemption, was made by giving
security through a friend.—Petronius gives a
handbill of praiseworthy auction thus,‘Julius
Procult will make an auction of his superflous
goods to pay his dedts.’ Estate, pictures, <fcc.
were sold in this way, and sales sometimes last
ed two months. In the middleages, goods were
cried, and the sound of a trumpet added. The
use of the spear was retained, and indeed a
new name for auctions was invented from this
circumstance. ‘ Sold at a spike or spear.” a
phrase met sometimes by antiquarian readers,
meant therefore, sold by auction. The spear
has become obsolete ; but in our city, thedrum,
a no less warlike instrument, is us»d, inorder

From the Albany Cultivator.
LETTER OF MR. EUJSWORTH—BOMMER’S
P4TENJ.
We invite the attention of the readers of the
Cultivator to the annexed letter of the Hon. Mr.
Ellsworth, chief ol the Patent office at Wash
ington, on the subject of patents, and the claims
of Mr. Bommer in particular. There is no
subject in the whole range of agriculture, of
more interest to the farmer, than that ot manures;
and any improvement in its manufacture, by
which its quantity and quality may be increas
ed, will be received by them with favor. That
manures made in the way recommended by Mr.
Bommer, or according to the patent claimed by
him, are ot superior quality, no one acquainted
with that method can doubt. But if, as Mr.
Ellsworth seems inclined to suppose, it is only
the French method, with some unimportant ad
ditions, so far as the making of the manure, or its
quality is concerned, that method should be
generally known, that all may avail themselves
©fits advantages, and we thank Mr. Ellsworth
for enabling us to give the specifications a place
in the Cultivator. We have given the large
pamphlet, just published by Mr. Bommer, and
contaii ing an ample account of his method and
its advantages, a copy of which he has kindly
placed in our hands, an attentive perusal, aud
can safely say there are few, ifanj', publica
tions on the subject there discussed, whatever
may be their pretensions, which combine such
1 mass of practical instruction on the prepara
tion and use of manures. Ol the legality of the
patent under which he is acting, we do not ex
press an opinion; but we know that the method
used by him, and described in the pamphlet, a
copy of which is furnished every purchaser of a
right, will make manure in anv quantity, and of
the best quality tor almost every Kind of cultiva
' ted crop. Os the French method, as destribed
in the specifications, we are not competent to
judge, having never witnessed its effects; we
should, however, prefer purchasing Mr. B.’s
book, in which the whole process is detailed.
LETTER FROM MR. ELLSWORTH.
•Washington City, S
* Patent Office, Nov. 3, 1843. )
Messrs. Gaylord if- Tucker: — l noticed in your
last number of the Cultivator, ‘just athand, a
particular notice of Bommer’s process—also his
a’dverti-ement announcing “Bommer’s manure
mahod, secured by letters patent,” and referring
to “documents recorded in the patent office,” to
prove his right s. This advertisement has great
ly increased the burden of answering requests
for copies of “Bommer’s Patent.” Whilst I
have studiously avoided expressing an opinion
on cases pending or decided, yet as special re
ference is now made to the bureau to sustain the
advertisement, and fearing that the public may
be misled by my silence, 1 hasten to state the
facts as they appear of record. Mr. Bommer,
on the 12th of May, 1843, presented an arplica
tion fora patent for making manure. This ap
plication was dulv examined, and rejected for
want of novelty. No appeal was taken. The
application was withdrawn, and S2O, the usual
sum allowed on withdrawals, paid to Mr. Bom
mer on the 6th of July last. No other applica
tion has been made by Mr. Bommer for a patent
for similar purposes.* It mav not be improper
to state that Messrs. Baer& Gouliart, in June,
1843, obtained a patent tor an alleged improve
ment on the method ot making manure, patent
ed in France by Jauffret, which said method,
however, has not been patented in the United
States, and is therefore free to the public. How
far the public are restricted in the use of foreign
inventions, may be ascertained by referring to
the claim of the American patent, which, yon
will perceive, is restricted to the preparation of
the heap and the mode of applying the lye to the
same l the ingredients— in other words, the li/e
itself, not being claimed. That no injustice
may be done to the parties concerned, I send you
a copy of the American patent, and only add
that Mr. Bommer has become an assignee for
several States, under this last mentioned patent.
Yours, &c. H. L. Ellsworth.
Copy of Baer & Gocltart’s Patent.—To
all whom it may concern: Be it known, that
we, Charles Baer and John Gouliart, of the city
ot Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have in
vented certain new and uselul improvements in
the manner of making manure, which has been
for many years practiced in France, and has
been there secured by Letters Patent under the
name of "La Methode Jauffret,” and we do here
by declare that the following is a full and exact
description thereof
In the method of Mr. Jauff ret, a pit or reset-;
voir is prepared of sufficient size to contain the
quantity ol prepared lye which may be required
by tbe nature of the establishment. This reser
voir or vat is intended to be a receptacle ot wa
ter saturated with decomposed animal and vege
table matters, and is fuither to receive the in
gredients hereinafter named ; such water is to
be found an nearly every farm, and it may be
augmented bj' the drainings of stables
water. suds, and other suhsta^- —■ a '
_tUf&rr-3Wnret, However, finally prepares his
lye, by which the fermentation ol the articles to
be converted into manure is to be promoted in
the followiSif manner, under various modifica
tions.
For the inversion of ixvm mu ttmu a [
sand pound l ot vegetable matter into manure,
he takes atout
200 lbs. of night soil,
200 ‘ calcined plaster in powder,
50 ‘ wood soot,
20 * wood ashes unleached,
60 ‘ quick lime,
1 * common salt,
1 * rough saltpetre,
150 ‘ lye or ferment drainings from a
Jtaffret manure heap.
These ilgredients are, in many cases, to be
replaced by others; this lye to be prepared 10 o*
15 days before use. The quantity of materials
above named, for the conversion of from 11© 2 -
000 lbs. cl straw or other dry vegetable, walks,
will answer for about double that quantity of
green vegetable matter.
In using this lye, the plan of Mr, Jauffret is to
steep in t the vegetable fibres, which are to be
acted upm by throwing them into the vat or re
servoir inntaining it, and removing it thence at
great law so as to form a high heap in the vi
cinity o’ the .vat, into which the drainings are
allowet to run.
We have thus given a brief outline of the
methocof Mr. Jauffi-et, the same appearing ne
cessar’ to the understanding of our improve
ments which consist in our omittingaltogether
the exessive labor of steeping the materials to
be aetd upon in the lye, and elevating them from
theoceto the heap; and also in the preparation
o'a Ire, which is equally -effective with that ot
auff-et, at much less cost, and which can be
used immediately on its being made, thereby sa
ving the delay of 10 or 15 days, which “La Me
thode Jauffiet” requires.
We prepare a reservoir to contain the lye as
usual, and in the immediate vicinity of this, we.
make our stacks or heaps ot vegetable matter,
which is to be converted into manure.
We give to the ground, where the heap orpile
is to be made, an inclination to wa-ds the vat - if
the ground is a firm clay, it may be merely slop
ed, and have shallow trenches dug on its surface
to conduct the drainings back into the vat; or it
may have a flouring of timber, brick or stone, as
may be preferred, which may be so trenched as
to conduct the whole towards a central drain.—
When our platform or flooring is of clay, we
cover the trenches and whole surface ot it with
brushwood or rails, so as to form a temporary
grating that willsupport the weight of the heap,
and thus insure a drainage, and the admission of
air to the heap from below.
The materials to be converted into manure,
we pile up on this prepared platform immediate
ly as it is delivered by the carts, and this we
sometimes continue to do until the heap has at
tained the whole height to be given to it, when,
by the use of a pump, buckets, or other suitable
means, we raise the lye from the vat and pour it
on to the heap, continuing so to do until the
whole mass is saturated; we, in general, how
ever, raise tne heap to a height ol two, three or
tour fee:, pv re or less, and then pour on a por
tion of (ye, repeating this as the height of the
pile is increased; this procedure obviates the
necessity of lilting the whole of the lye to the
foil height of the heap.
The materials which we employ in making
the lye, .nay be limited to the following, name
ly : cow, horse or hog’s dung, or night soil, the
urine draining from stables, and quicklime.
The ingredients used to be intimately mixed
with a sufficient quantity of saturated water.
Two ofthe kinds of animal dung we have
found to answer as well as a larger number. \
perfectly good lye will be made by taking one
barrel each of two ot the species of dur f two
ofthe urinary drainings, one of quick’ ond
about 50 barrels ot saturated wale' Lhtoh is

1 TO THE CITIZENS OF THE SOUTH.
THE GENUINE BRANDRETH
PILLS have, in all cases in which they
have been used, fully sustained their high char
acter. In the East and West Indies, in Russia,
Turkey and China, the Brandreth Pills are ex
tensively jiatronized. The same may be said of
Mexico and throughout South America. I have
recently received one order for eighty thousand
boxes, from the Governor of a Colony of Portu
gal in the East Indies. He had used the Bran
dreth Pills in Madeira, by the advice of the vent
Reverend, the Canon, Thomas Tolentino de Sil
va, my agent at Funchal, and found them so *x
cellent as an anti-bilious physic and purifier of
the blood, that he became, after much experience
of their beneficial properties, one of their best and
strongest advocates, and hasnowintroduced them
into the Colony of which he is the appointed Go
varn®r th® Government of Portugal. Thus
the Brandreth Pill* continue to have the sphere
of their useiulnes* extended.
In the Eastern States of North America, and
In Great Britain, no medicine was ever in such
universal use as the Brandreth Pills. High and
influential individuals often purchase them to ad
minister to the poor. In every place where they
have been introduced, and where no vile imitation
of them has been sold, their reputation has con
stantly increased, and ths circle of their useful
ness enlarged. They are conceded to be the beat
purgative, the best anti-bilious and the most cer
tain purifier of the blood known. The cure* they
have performed in chronic diseases, where hope
had fled, is beyond belief.
As a general family medicine, especially in th*
South, their value is incalculable. By having the
Bsahdbeth Pill* always on hand, should a sud
den attack of sickness take place, they can be gi
ven at once, and will often have effected a cur*
before the physician could have arrived. In Cho
lic and itlflamation of the bowels, these Pill* will
at once relieve, and perseverance in their u*e,
according to the directions, will surely do all that
medicine can do to restore the health of tha pa
tient. In diseases arising from the use of mer
cury, or from any cause of vitiation, fror* bad
blood or otherwise, their use will produce the most
happy results. In all attacks of /iheumaiism, la
Erysiphilas, Salt Rheum, and in cases of chronic
or recent Costiveneee, the use of the BaAunaaTH
Pills will be productive of infinite service; some
times being productive of so great a change sot
the better, as to occasion great thankfulness. In
all cases of indigestion, worms, asthma, diseases a
the heart, snd in all affection* of the stomach and
bowels, the Bbaxdbeth Pills will be fount a ne
ver-failing remedy.
To insure the full benefit of these celebrated
Pills, they should be kept in the house, so that
upon the first commencement of sickness they
may be at once resorted to; one dose then is bet
ter than a dozen after the disease has become es
tablished in the system.
The Braxobeth Pills are purely vegetable,
and so innocent that the infant a month old may
use them if medicine i* required, not only with
safety, but with the certainty of receiving ail tha
1 benefit medicine is capable of imparting. Fe
male* may use them during all the critical periods
r of their lives;—the Bbambrbth Pill* will insure
- their health, and produce regularity in all the func
® tions of life.
