The .Workings of the Soldiers. FROM ST. MATTHEW. r, . “ Plant a crown upon his head, Royal robe around him spread ; See that his imperial hand Grasps, at fit, the sceptral wand ; Then before him, bending low, As becomas his subjects, bow ; Fenced within our armed ring, Hail him, hail him, as our King !” Platted was of thorns the crown, Trooper’s cloak was royal gown ; If his passive hand, indeed, Grasp’d a sceptre, ’twas a read. He was bound to feed and hear Deeds of shame, and words of jeer ; For he whom king in jest they.call, Was a doom’d captive scoff’d by all. But the brightest crown of gold ; Or, the robe of rarest fold; Or, the sceptre, which the mine Os Golconda makes to shine ; Or, the lowest homage given By all mankind under heaven, Were prized by him no more than sworn Sceptre of reed, or crown of thorn. Os the stars his crown is made, In the sun he is array’d ; He the lightning of the spheres Asa flaming sceptre bears : Bend in rapture before him, Ranks of glowing seraphim ; And we, who spurn’d him, trembling stay The judgment of his coming day. w. M. Bentley's Miscellany for October. MISCELLANEOUS. MANUFACTURING POETRY. A New York editor (says the Philadel phia Saturday Evening Post,) has invented a machine for making poetry. It works like a coffee-mill. A few common words are thrown into the hopper, a page or so of Byron, Hetmans, Shakspeare, and the dic tionary of Dr. Johnson, the springs are set j to comic—sentimental—sublime—pathetic as may be desired, the machine is ground, and out comes the poesy ready made. The inventor gives the following specimen of its first work : TOUCH OF THE SUBLIME. When years have rolled their lumbering Gars away, And Time shall shake blue mould from offhis wings ; When worlds on worlds shall one by one decay, Won’t there be scrabbling then ’mong creep ing things ! There—examine that specimen, and see whether any of your manual poets can heat it. Here is a sample of THE PATHETIC. On a log sat a frog, Crying tor les daugh'er ; Tears he shed till his eyes were red, And then jumped into the water, and drowned himself. lie had to put on the finishing touch tothat by hand—but let him try it once on THE SENTIMENTAL ! O! when life’s evening shall draw near, And care’s deep shadow’s lengthen round, j May I be ligh'ed ;o my bier, With Hope's dipp’d candles—say sixteen to the pound ! We guess that will do just now. BETTING. A bet implies a questioning of the vera city of the individual to whom it is proposed, and as such might always be regarded as a direct insult. It settles nothing. It does not make a hair black or white. It is a species of gambling—the getting of ano i ther’s money without an equivalent. An honorable man should scorn thus to enrich himself at another’s injury. When D. offers to bet, as a test of the sincerity of his o\Yn belief, he justly gives a bystander rea son to infer that he is self-conscious of a dis honest profession—just as a man is not to be believed who thinks to holster up his vera city by a voluntary and profane oath, in common discourse. All it proves, if it prove any tiling, is that eactt party in the contract believes what he says ; and this strikes us as a very unworthy way of establishing the ve racity of the disputants. At least, a man undervalues his own veracity, w hen he sets a price oh it in a stake of dollars and cents. If a man has no better way to demonstrate that he can tell the truth, when lie profess es what he believes, he had better abandon altogether his” pretensions to veracity. Betting on - elections has become quite an evil of ottr times, and should he rebuked. Pray, cannot a man satisfy his neighbor that he belieVCs General H. or Mr. V. B. will be elected President, unless lie does it by laying down ass bill ? What is this but setting just that price on his own vera city. We have said that a ttfet alters nothing ; but the ingenuity of politicians has contri ved a way in which it may alter results by PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY MORNING. a fleeting votes ; and this way amounts to nothing short of an indirect bribe. We re collect a casein point. Preceding the late Gubernatorial election in this State, an ar dent and leading politician of a neighbor ing tow n, made it in his way to call on an honest mechanic, whom he thought lie could operate upon by the promise of mo ney, hut he did not dare to make a direct offer for his vote in cash. So he took the following method to obtain his object : “ Mr. 8.,” said Tie, very humbly and privately, “ 1 hay a a curiosity to know how you intend to vote for Governor on Monday next. True, it is none of my business, be cause every man lias a right to vote as he pleases, and far he from me the thought of interfering with that right; hut you must know that I have made a bet with a mantm the subject of your vote. He said you would vote for Mr. . I did not be lieve it. I could not think sucli a thing of you. I always supposed you was on the side, and so I risked a bet,of $lO that you would not vote for Mr. . I do not approve of betting—and if I gain the $lO, Ido not calculate to keep it myself hut to give it to you. Will you be so kind as to tell me whether you mean to vote for Mr. or not ?” Here was an ingenious plan contrived to offer Mr. B. $lO if he would vote against Mr. . Was it not an attempt at bribery ? Hap pily the plan defeated itself; for the me chanic w'as not such a fool as the gentle man in broadcloth took him to be. He saw at once the design upon his integrity, and indignantly replied—‘-I despise both you and your $lO. lean see your drift, I had thought of voting for Mr. , but if the leadersof his party are up to this system of bribery and deception, it is time for me to alter my mind. 1 shall vote as I please.” The chagrined politician shrunk away.— The truth is, he'Ti'atl nefobet a cent on B.’s vote, but he went .with a lie In his. mouth to see what effect a prospect of $lO Would have on his vote. We have, too, known politicians con’ -ive to induce certain lukewarm members of their party to bet on elections, with the view to get them more personally interested in the campaign, and to make them more zeal ous in the cause. Iniquity in a variety of forms is connec ted with the whole system of betting, and should therefore he discountenanced by every friend of a sound morality and of our political prerogatives. It is no better than downright gambling, and men should he as much ashamed to pledge their doubtful ve racity in bets, as in being caught in gam bling for money in any other form. A WAGGISH JUSTICE. Many years ago, in Connecticut, a cer tain Justice was called to a jail to liberate a worthless debtor, by receiving his oath that he was not worth five pounds. “ Well, Johnny,” said the Justice, as lie entered, “ can you swear you are not worth five pounds, and never will be V’ “ Why,” answered the other, rather chagrined at the question, “ I can swear that I am not worth that amount at present.” “ Well, well,” returned the Justice, “ I can swear the rest—so step forward, Johnny.” VERY AFFECTING. A sentimental youth having seen a young damsel shedding tears over something in her lap, took the first opportunity to he in troduced to her ; and made no doubt that she was a congenial spirit. “ What work was it that effected you so much the other morning ? I saw you sited a great many tears, was it Bulwer’s last ?” “ I don’t know what Bulwer’s last is ?” returned she, “ but I assure you that 1 was doing a job Which always almost kills me. I was peeling onions.”— N. Y. Atlas. STEAM NAVIGATION. The greatest achievement, perhaps, of the present day is the successful applica tion of steam to ocean navigation. The in fluence of this grand and triumphant exper iment is already felt in some measure in our commercial interests. Half the space be tween us and Europe is now destroyed per manently. This is very pleasant in a time of peace and shaking of hands. It were less so perhaps in times of commotion and wild war’s alarms. Politically considered, some will think it were better to have two Atlan tics between the continents of America and Europe than annihilate the old one. The nearer we approach each other, the greater our danger of getting intafigled and involv ed in each other’s troubles. However, there is no stopping this space-annihilating progress; we must fall in and make what good we can out of it. One thing it were well to consider, that this steam navigation is not always to jie a mere freight-carrying or pleasure-seeking intercourse. These same 500 horse power contrivances can do other work than carry laces and silks and the like from land to land. They may suddenly become the mercuries of war, floating battle fields, flying artillerists with j a vengeance; and, whenever this may I happen, the whole field and circumstances | of war must he changed. The Cate ofna- j tions will he cast, not on Waterloo fields, hut on the ocean ; not by glittering masses j of infantry, butiby dingy steam engine men 1 driving about their war machine, light as , gossamer with 500 horse power, and Per kins’ steam gun to match.— Philadelphia Sentinel. ANECDOTE OF SHERIDAN. The following anecdote of Sheridan's vinous eloquence we had from the lips of one of the oldest surviving friends and followers of Fox, and himself a highly in fluential Whig of the old school. This gentleman and Sheridan had dined together at Bellamy’s ; and Sheridan having taken his allowance, gave his accustomed signal i lor a move. This signal consisted of the words, “Now 1 shall go down and see what’s doing in the House which, in reality, meant, apd was always so interpreted by whoever dined in his company, “ i have drank enough ; my share of the business is done, now do yours ; call for the bill and pay it. On this occasion the usual course was pursued ; and the hill having been set tled by Sheridan’s friend, the lalter, hear ing that Sheridan was “ up,” felt curious to know what lie could possibly be at, know ing the “ glorious” state in which he had just departed. Accordingly, lie entered the house, and, to his no small astonishment, found Sheridan in a fit of most fervent ora tory, thundering forth the following well known passage—“ Give them a corrupt House of Lords; give them a venal House of Commons; give them a tyrannical prince; give them a truckling Court; and let me have hut ail unfettered press, and I will defy thorn to encroach a hair’s breadth upon the libertes of England !” PHILOSOPHY OF SMOKING, j Let those abuse that cheap luxury, a j pipe of tobacco, who never knew the enjoy- I inentiof it. We would not quarrel with ! any man on this matter, although we are , avowed worshippers of the ‘soothing weed.’ Dear old pipe ! what happy hours hast thou and I spet together—in the still midnight, when the busy world slept, have we kept watch and close communion. We hatch ed )!*’ treason—we did injury to no one; w rested lip on lip with sincere affection, and our loves hilt .grew stronger througli this renewal. Thou art a fond mistress, that causes me no jealousy—t&v look and welcome are ever the same. I parade not thy beauty before the world, and thou cOffr plainest not iff abandon thee for a time. I have ever found thee faithful. Thou iiast been my comforter in sorrow ; and, when elated with joy, thy old familiar whisper ings have soon made me thoughtful. Thou art my wisest and best adviser. There is something venerable in tliv dim and brown looks: the thoughts of long years are im printed on thee ; the nursings of many a midnight are chronicled on thy huge bowl. ! The faces of dear old friends have passed in long array before us, when we were a lone ; we have mingled sighs and smiles to gether, whiefi the world can never know of. Thou hast endured much for me, my dear old pipe!—thou best passed through fire and water for my sake. Thy. voice is ever low, and 1 love to hear it, and I can regu -1 late it at my will; at times it seems measur ed and solemn, as it keeps pace with my thoughts; and when the brain runs riot, it comes laughing from thy lips in quick suc cession ; and tliv ebony end curls up its volumes in silent delight, and we mingle our breath together, and waste our effort upon the emoty air, while we make “am brosial clout's.” What shapes have I seen spring from thee!—forms of beauty ascend- I ing with their scarfs blown into arches as ; they rose with their floating drapery, then dwindled into air. Mountains crowned with blue mist, with winding paths that seerhed ito lead into the clouds ; valleys deep and purple ; ocean depths, which no eye but our ; own looked into, where the huge sea-snake 1 curled and moved in its watery cave, and looked as if its blue folds would girdle a world. What hours have wesat dreaming together with half-shut eyes, giving wink for wink, as something new rose before us, and whispering in “whiff,” lest our speak ing aloud should breakthe spell ! How our fore-fathers passed their long winter nights without such a companion as thou art, we know not. All great discoveries came to I light with thee. Our steam-ships and rail j ways are hut pipes set in motion, we pass . over half the globe smoking. Let no man, j then, despise a pipe. Even the great Hom er sent his heroes to battle with it; and Achiles ‘■'■smoked along the plain.” And now thou art out, I will rear thee gently oil end, for I would not have those who love : thee not, grow weary at hearing me praise thee, mv dear dreamy old friend. TRANSPARENT WATCH. A watoll has been presented to the Acad emy of Science, at Paris, principally form ed of rock crystal. The internal wep-ks are visible—the two teethed wheels which carry the hands are rock crystal—the oth er wheels are metal to prevent accidents from the breaking of the spring?. The screws are fixed in crystal, and all the ax es turn on rubies. The encasement is of sapphire ; the balance wheel of rock crys : tal and it spring of gold. The regularity of tfox watch as a time keeper is attributed b” •* -the feeble expansion of the n balance wheel. THE Mjttst If VG and Testament OF MODERN DEMOCRACY. In the name of God : Amen ! I, Modern Democracy, being perplexed in mind, and disordered in body ; expect ing todie in November next, and on the 4th ! of March thereafter,to he formally and for ever buried—do make and ordain this, my last Will and Testament. Item First. —My will has always been to do much for my son Matty, of Kinderhook, but I shall fail in consequence of a disease he is labouring under, from having taken an over portion of Hickory-leaves; and now, having to take large quantites of Hard Ci der to reduce him. the remedy is proving fatal. Item Second. —My will is, that Thomas, the Great Expunger, he left to act for him self ; 1 have no fears of his ever becoming poor, as lie lias shown from his youth, great skill in money matters, and, of course, will provide for himself-—no matter at whose expense. Item Third —As to my twin hoys, Amos and Francis P., I will them what they have plundered from the country ; and 1 desire that they shall remain in peaceable posses sion of their whole stock of falsehood, be lieving that they will be able to get through life with r/ir portion of mv estate. Item Fourth —As to my two sons, Ri chard M, of Ky., and John F., ofGa., 1 will them NOTHING!—as they seem to have a will of their own. Item Fisth —My illegitimate son, John I C., ol S. (J., 1 have made ample provisions I for him in a Southern circus at Ft. Hill, I where he may continue to display his agi lity in turning summersaults. Item Sixth —My old maiden daughter, Miss Nancy King, I turn over to my Execu tors hereinafter mentioned ; and as there is no likelihood oi lier ever having offsprings, (for the Whigs won’t marry her,) I request that they will settle her near Selma, Ala., where she may amuse the boys and girls i with the witch stories she learned during her travels in Russia. Item Seventh — Also, my infant son, Dick son il. ; my youngest darling ! My great concern is haw-! am to get him hack to Ala bama—he can’t walk ; and tile stag ■ is too full of his pamphlets, forwarded bv him self, to permit of his riding. 1 somewhat regret having deceived the child, in my promises to put him into the Speaker's chair—tie would have filled it verv well during the recess of Congress ! However, as it is not probable that he will he troubled with difficulties in getting to and from j Washington after 1841. except at his own ; expense ; I consider it an ample legacy, j hut one which lie well merits, that in future I lie be called—The Great Franker. Item Eighth —As to my little bastard hoy, Walter TANARUS., of Ga., 1 should like to do something for that child, but there is C. C. C., of Ala., and there is such a host of mud-throwers, from Ritchie, of the Ehq., to Hall, of the F. of the U., that Walter TANARUS., my boy, you must shift for yourself. Item Ninth —Contrary to my will, I ap point WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON and JOHN TYLER, my Executors; I know that they will manage the Estate on different principles from those by which I have been governed ; which will, I fear, cause many of my children to fulfil the Scripture—“in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.” Then it will be uncomfortable at first, my children, but such is the will of the American People. Witness : LIBERTY. CONSTITUTION. REFORM. [Alabama Journal.] WINE OF THE’ PASSOVER. As the Jews are strictly forbidden to eat leavened bread, or drink fermented liquors during the Passover, they obtained a wine to he used at the feast, from raisins. In answer to an enquiry made bv E. C. Dele van, of New York, in reference to this wine, M. M. Noah details a process for making it. lie says: “ If you wish to make a small quantity for the cominur ion table, (for wine will soon grow sour, having no alcoholic body) take a gallon demijohn, or stone jug, pick three or four pounds'of bloom raisins, break off the stems, put the raisins into the demi john, and fill it with water. Tie a rag over the mouth, and place the demijohn over the file, or on one side of the fire-place, to keep it warm. In a week it will be fit for use, making a pure, pleasant, and sweet wine free from alcohol.” “ These times try men’s soles,” as the cobbler said when the ground was mucky. •If. J. K APPEL, !• r inter. Texas. We copy from the Cincinnati Chronicle, the following : Extract from a letter to a gentleman in Cincinnati, dated “ Colorado City, (opposite La Grange, on the Colorado,) Sept. 26, 1840. “ We have the finest prospects in the world for the rapid improvement of our country. Crops are splendid. Corn has been sold at 25c. per bushel on the Colora do, between this place and Austin. The land on our prairie, that you and I plough ed in our shirt sleeves on the 12th oflast Fe bruary, will produce 75 bushels per acre, even with Texas culture, which you know is none of the most scientific. A man gave me a few days since, 6001 bs. ot fodder, and 5 bushels of corn, rather than pay me $5 in specie. The Colorado Valley can say to emigrants this year, come on as many as wish ; we will have enough for you all— j millions of pecans, plums, and grapes grow wild in our forests. Hogs seem to spring up like magic, and our prairies be gin to be dotted over with cattle. “ The Mexicans and Indians are not thought of here, only as objects of news at a distance. We feel, and are, as secure as you are at Cincinnati. The valley of Buckner’s Creek, a lovely tract south-west of this, well timbered, rolling land, is just filling up with emigrants, who, by Winter, will form a strong settlement. Captain F-, from Troy, N. Y.,anintelligentmillwright, has recently arrived here, and bought 400 acres of excellent land on Buckner’s Heights ; he is now preparing to erect a saw and grist-mill and a dwelling-house, lie is cutting his land up into smaller farms, for three or four families that he ex pects this Winter from New York State. “ We have had a pleasant Summer, and timely rains. The prospect of the cotton crop in those parts of Texas where itscul j turc has been attempted, is very good. But comparatively few of our farmers, however, have engaged in its culture, owing to the influx of emigrants, which creates a good demand for provisions. The export of cot ton from Jackson county alone, will be from 7to 800 hales. A good deal is shipped from Galveston direct to England and France ; and I see by a late New Orleans paper, that the imports of cotton at that port alone, from Texas, the pc si year, was about 4,000 bales. Last rear it was rather less than 3,000. “ Fruits and vegetables ha, _ dv a< nobly this season. Our crop of peaches was truly immense. Figs thrive well. Colonel Morgan, at New Washington, on Galves ton Bay, has some hundreds of fig and orange trees of full growth. Another gentleman near Texana, has a large or chard of fig trees in hearing. Vegetables of almost all kinds have been raised in great ahuiidui, “. for the first time since the set j dement of this country : thanks in part to the Yankees, who supplied'us so liberally with garden seeds last Spring. “Mr. F. Ernest, of Industry, near .he Ibassos,where you stopped last Winter, has gone into the culture of the Cuba tobacco and manufacture of ciggrs, which good I judges speak well of. I don’t see what should prevent tobacco from becoming a great staple with us, as well as with Cuba.” NEW INVENTION. Among the new and useful improve, ments of the day, is a newly invented Grain Reaping Machine, by a Mr. Lamb. It is moved by horsepower, like a common cart, and cuts the grain by a series of horizon tal revolving sickles, and if it is capable of reaping 18 or 20 acres pr day, or of doing the work of six’"or eight men, as it is said it is, it must be a desideratum to itte practical agriculturalist. ANCIENT PEAR TREES. There is a pear tree in Massa j ohusetts, planted in 1628 by Governor En i dicott, which is yet in full life, and pro duced a good crop of pears this year. In Eastham, Cape Cod, is another pear tree planted iri 1640, by Governor Prince. It is still flourishing, and produces fifteen bushels a year. Two pear trees were recently standing in Hartford, Conn., which were brought ; from England in 1033. Let the Women Read this. —Which of the Roman heroes is thought most of by the ■ women ? Marius.
