Ode to a Michaelmas Gonsc,
BY ALDERMAN
All hail, thou bird of hissing fame!
From whatsoever farm you came,
Your form is fine and plump—
A better fed one cannot be:
And then, ’tis wonderful to see
The fat upon your rump.
Gazing upon you, down mv chops
The slaver in abundance drops—
Oh, what a leg and wing!
Hot from the spit, and no mistake,
AV ith sage an onions you would make
A dinner for a King.
Gould I net feed, with real zest,
On ample slices from thy breast,
Prime goose of all the flock!
And. then thy giblets, dainty group!
Would make a dish of famous soup,
As rich as turtle mock.
Talk not of pigeon, fowl, nor duck,
Nor any other bird to pluck,
Including great and small;
For, be they wild, or be they tame,
I pledge my Aluennanic fame,
A goose is worth them all,*
How eagerly I’d go to work,
In thy roast carcase stick my fork,
And carve thee in a trice.
Delicious prospect, and no joke!
Upon my table thou shalt smoae—
Come, Poulterer, what's the price.
From Napoleon’s Anecdotes.
Adoption of the Children of the soldiers kill
ed at Austerlitz. — Napoleon adopted all the
children of the soldiers and officers killed at
Austerlitz, and with him, such an act would
not have been one of mere form; had he lived,
he would have provided for them all.
One of these youths had been fortunate
enough, when yet very young, to attract the
emperor’s notice by some signal proof of his
devotedness; Napoleon asked him what pro
fession he would wish to embrace; and with,
dut waiting for his answer pointed out one
himself; the young man observed that his fa
ther’s fortune was not sufficient to allow him
to follow it. “ Whathas that to do with it;” \
replied the emperor hastily, “am not I also I
your father!” — Those persons who have know n i
Napoleon in his private life, and who had lived j
near his person can quote a thousand traits of I
the same kind.
Josephine's attachment to Napoleon.— ln a
conversati >a with Count Lis Cases one day
at St Helena, the emperor said he was well
convinced that he was the individual whom
Josephine loved best in the world. She nev
er Failed to accompany him on all his journeys.
Neither fatigue nor privation could deter her
from following him; and she employed im
portunity and even artifice to gain her point.
“If 1 stepped into my carriage at midnight, to
set out mi the longest journey, to my surprise
I would find Josephine all ready prepared,
though I had had o idea of her accompany
ing me. ‘But,’ I would say to her, ‘you can
not possibly go, the journey is too long, and
will be too fatiguing for you.’—‘Not at all.’
Josephine would reply.—‘Besides, I must set
out instantly.’—‘Weil, I am quite ready.’—
‘But you must take a great deal of luggage.’
—‘On, no! every thing is packed up;’ and 1
was generally obliged to yield. Ina word,
Josephine rendered her husband happy, and
constantly proved heiself his sincerest friend.
At all times and on all occasions, she man
ifested the most perfect submission and devo
tedness; and thus I shall never cease to re
member her. but with tenderness and grati
tude.”—lb.
Female courage rewarded. — In the fifth year
of the republic, after a succession of combats,
in which the army under the Archduke Charles
was beaten, and in the course of which he
narrowly escaped being made prisoner, Buon
aparte crossed the River Piavie with his wont
,’ed bravery and expedition. Upon this occa
sion a soldier was carried away by the rapid
ity of the current, and was on the point of
sinking, when a female who had accompanied
the army threw herself into the stream, and
succeeded in rescuing him from his perilous
situation. The general, being made acquaint
ed with this magnanimous conduct, presented
the woman with a gold necklace, at the bot
tom of which was suspended a civic crown,
and the name of the soldier whose life she had
so gallantly preserved.— lb.

‘A wife is a young man’s mistress a middle
age’s companion, an old man’s nurse.’—There
is no joy. no pleasure in the world, like that
of a good wife. She is still the same in sick
ness and in health—his eye, his hand, his bo
som friend, his partner at all times; his other
self, not to be separated by any calamity, but
ready to share all sorrow and discontent—and
as the Indian women do, live and die with him.

"'“"‘"'SC'S
Fattening Hogs.
On the first day of December, 4 shoats of
the same breed, nearly of a size, and as much
alike in every respect as could be selected
from a herd of ninety-odd hogs, were made
choice of; each carefully weighed and placed
in a separate stye where their food could be
exactly regulated. They weighed betwee.i
81 pounds and 100. The two, whose weight
together made 185 pounds, were fed on one
gallon of shelled corn, weighing seven pounds
to each, for every 24 hours, and as much water
as they wanted. This quantity of food was a
plenty for them; generally they about consumed
it. Some five or six different days between
the first of December, and fourth of January,
the time the experiment was going on, they
did not cat their whole allowances.
For the two shoats, whose weights together
made 173 pounds, seven pounds of good corn
meal, by measure ten pints, were made into
good mush, or hasty-pudding, and divided be
tween them for every 24 hours. That is, these
two had allowed them exactly halt the weight
of meal which the others had of raw corn.
The seven pounds of meal were daily mixed
with scalding water, and then well boiled.- the
whole process of cooking was done on an
average of one and a half hours. They were
all fed twice a day, and at the same time.
The evening feed of the shoats fed on mush,
was generally warm—the morning feed, hav
ing stood all night, was always cold. The
seven pounds, or ten pints of meal, when cook
ed, weighed an average of 30 pounds, and
measured an average of3 gallons.—There was
a difference of nine pounds in the weight of
the latter pair—the smallest had the least appe
tite, and his allowance of 15 pounds of mush,
was just as much as he appeared to want, or
would eat up clear; the other was greedy, and
always sharp set, despatched his mess quickly,
I and wanted more.
Before the experiment had progressed a
I fortnight, theie was a very perceptible difler
j ence in the appearance of these pigs. Those
I fed on the mush assumed a more thrifty, healthy
' fresh appearance, particularly of their hair,
I and this difference became more striking as
' the experiment advanced.
On the 4th of January, while preparations
were making for killing and dressing, they
were again weighed on the hoof. One of
those, then, whose daily allowance had been
seven pounds of corn each, had increased 20
pounds in the 24 days; the other which had an
equal allowance of corn had increased onlv
five pounds. I could not account for the dif
ference by any thing I could discover, either
before or after killing; the appetites of these
two were much more alike than of the others;
and their health was apparently equally good.
Os the pair fed on mush, whose daily allow
ance had been three and a half pounds of meal
each, the greedy one had gained thirty.three
pounds, and the other twenty-one pounds.
These are all the material facts in these
experiments, except that a very small portion
of salt was put into each mess of mush—and
there is no miracle in them The hogs allowed
3 1-2 pounds of each, gained less than three
fourths ofa pound daily, and this surely they
might have gained fiom the meal; but they
gained more th tn those fed on double that
quantity of corn. The saving of one half of
the immense quantity of corn consumed in rais
ing and fattening hogs in Maryland, would be
well worth the offer of a premium to have
these experiments repeated and
tested by different persons. — Maryland Agri

Ashes as Manure for Grass Lands.
There is scarcley any part of the country,
where leached ashes cannot be obtained in
greater or less quantity; and in the vicinity of
asheries, abundance may generally be had with
no other expense than drawing. Ifthe follow
ing remarks by Count Chapel are applicable
to soils of whatever materails they may be
composed, a knowledge of this property of
leached ashes, would in many instances be of
very great value. At all events, the experiment
is easily performed on a moderate scale.
“The ashes, produced by combustion of
wood in common domestic fires, give rise to
some very remarkable results. Without being
leached, these ashes are much too active; but
after having been deprived, by the action of
water, of nearly all their salts, and employed
in this state, under the name of buck ashes,
they still produce great effect.
“The action of the buck ashes is most pow
erful upon moist lands and meadows, in which
they not only facilitate the growth of useful
plants, but if employed constantly for several
years, they will free the soilfrom weeds. By
the use of them, land constantly drenched with
water may be freed from rushes, and prepared
for yielding clover and other plants of good
kind.”
It has been frequently supposed that ashes
applied to wet heavy soils is injurious. This
is piobably owing to the application being too
uceven, and m too large quantities, and to the
want of mixing them intimately with the soil.
Chaptai says, “Wood ashes, possess the double
property of amending a wet and clayey soil by
dividing and drying it, and of promoting ve
getation by the salts they contain.”
It is well known, that the evenly spread and
intimately intermixed layer of ashes which
soil receive by burning the turf, produces
extraordinary effects upon grass lands.—Gen

Cochran’s many chambered rifle has recent
ly been submitted to a fair and distinct trial a’
the U. S. Arsenal at Washington, under the
supervision of Capt. Ramsay and Lieut. Scott.
A correspondent of the Intelligencer gathers
the following facts from the report, of these
gentlemen on the subject:
‘•The rifle, it appears, was fired 1,008 times,
and was in the same order at the termination
as at the commencement of the firing. In
order to test the influence of rain and wet from
other causes, water was put into the chambers,
and left there for an hour and ten minutes; the
rifle was then discharged, and with the same
ease and effect as previously. The cylinder
in this rifle thus contained nine chambers;
and in a comparative trial instituted between
it and Hall’s carbine, both pieces having been
loaded, the whole nine discharges were made
from the rifle before a second could be made
from the carbine.
During the whole trial not a single cap mis
sed fire and atthe distance of 150 yards with 10
grains of powder the ball perforated an inch
pine board and wasflattened against a brick wall
behind it.
Some apprehensions were entertained that,
I from the contiguity of the charges, accidental
ignition might be produced. To prove the
entire freedom of his rifle from this danger.
Mr. Cochran placed loose powder in the cham
ber, over the balls, and around the caps, and,
so circv ms (anced, it was discharged safely as
before.
Capt. Ramsay observes, that with the
closest scrutiny he could not discovers, any
objection to Mr- Cochran’s invention; and
Lieut. Scott says, that for simplicity it sur
passes any think of the kindhe has ever seen,
and that its qualitty as a fire arm can be
summed uo in three words, “it is perfect.”
PROPOSALS
lor publishing in the Town of Washington,
(Geo.) a weekly periodical, to be devoted
to the cause of the Botanical System
of Medicine, entitled
The Botanical Review.
In launching forth upon the world, and as
suming the responsibility of such a design, we
are aware that many obstacles will naturally
arise as obstructions to this great undertaking;
and that we shall subject ourselves to the con
tempt of some, and the ridicule of others. But
believing as we do, that not only our own inter
est, as well as the interest of many of our fellow
beings, is involved in the promulgation of cor
rect knowledge upon the subject of this per
secuted system of Medical Reform, we are de
termined to bear the reproach that may be heap
ed upon us, looking for a reward in the success
which may attend our exertions.
This publication is designed for the dissem
ination of truth in support of the Botanical Sys
tem of Medicine; and such other information
upon the treatment and cure of diseases, as
may be for the general good of its readers.
With this brief and comprehensive view of
the subject, we shall leave the design with the
friends of the cause in Georgia. It is (the
system) evidently increasing both in interest
and numbers; but, cannot flourish to any great
extent, unless assisted by the circulation of a
well conducted periodical. And we do hope,
that the friendsof the cause will not cease their
efforts until the storm of prejudice undpersecu
tion has subsided, and a copy of this work is
found in every family.
The work shall be issued, as soon as 800
subscribers are obtained. It shall appear on
superior medium paper, containAg 16 octavo
pages per week, at $5 per annum, payable on
the reception of the first number. Thus mak
ing a volume of 832 pages per year.
The services of a gentleman of tallents and
medical attainments will be secured as editor
of the above work. And we assure the public
generally, that no pains shall be spared to make
it both useful and interesting.
We request that subscription papers may be
returned to us at Athens, Geo, by the 20th
of December next.
oO”Editors in this, and the adjoining States,
are respectfully solicited to give the above a
few insertions.

will be published in semi-monthly numbers,
each of which will contain one complete work,
with title-page and cover. The whole series
will be completed in eight numbers, and will be

NOTICE. |
The publication of the above, as stated, will I
be commenced in July. The trifling delay that |
took place in the regular publication of the
Marryatt Novels, and which was occasioned by
the frequent reprints of tlr early numbers, and
the uncommon severity »f the winter, which
prevented the making and transporting of pa
per, need not be expected in the Bulwek. No
vels. The Subscriber cid not anticipate the
very favorable reception that Marryatt would
■ meet with. He thought the sale would be large
; —but not enormous—and is now better able to
(judge what number of copies it ’ bo neces
i sary to print; added to which, the publication
I will be commenced and concluded before the se-
I verity of winter commences.
In another point, the experience of the pre-
I vious publication has suggested an improvement
(in a future. Where more than one Subscriber
I resides in a place, the numbers will be sent flat,
■ and not folded. They will then be received by
I the Subscriber in as go al order as if taken im
| mediately from the Proprietor’s Office. This
i will be a great improvement.
i In January next another republication of some
j celebrated modern Novelist will take place, eith
i er James, Cooper, Irviig, or some other of e
qual repute. It is determined by the present
Publisher, that the American public shall be
furnished with the most beautiful, and at the
same time cheap, edit.on of modern Novelists
extant.
As soon as an authenticated Portrait of
Captain Marryatt can be obtained, the Subscri
ber will have it engraved for his edition of the

FBI HE exercises of this institution
|J • J Jl will be resumed on Monday the
ie t h January, 1837.
From the flattering encouragement we have
received during the ) resent year, we have
made every exertion, and have succeeded in
engaging the services of first rate teachers in
the several departmeats of the institution.—
They bring with themtestimonials ofreligious
character and literary attainments from ma
ny of the most influential gentlemen in the
United States.
We have made arrangements to have a
Steward’s Hall attached to the Institution, at
the head of which will be Mrs. D'ESTE, an
elderly lady, whose domestic habits and expe
rience in the government of young ladies, are
very highly extolled. We have been led to
this step, from the inconvenience which young
ladies experience in going to and coming from
their boarding houses during inclement weath
er; from the time they lose, owing to the do
mestic arrangements of other houses, not cor
responding with our ovn; for the sake of hav
ing all the young ladies, at all times, under the
supervision of the teaciers, as many of them
are disposed to neglect their studies, and be
come careless of their manners and language
when not subjected to such a check; and, final
ly, the teachers cannot feel themselves as re
sponsible for those who board elsewhere, as
for those who board with them. We do not
wish to be understood as dictating to our pat
rons, but respectfully submit the above hints to
their sober consideration.
A contract has been made for having com
pleted early r in the ensuing year, a Female
Gymnasium, for physical education.
Yeung ladies who may desire to speak the
French language, will have uncommon advan
tages afforded them here. Mrs. D’Este was
educated in France—is a lady of superior ac
complishments, and speaks French and Eng
lish with equal facility.

FOSTER’S
Cabinet Miscellany,
EMBRACING
A CAREFULLY SELECTED SERIES OF THE NEWEST
PUBLICATIONS ON A VARIETY OF SUB
JECTS, INTERESTING TO ALL
WHO DESIRE TO
MAKE THEMSELVES ACQUAINTED WITH THE
BEST LITERARY PRODUCTIONS OF THE
FIRST WRITERS OF THE DAY,
PUBLISHED in weakly numbers, 72 pp.
Elegantly printed in a handsome duodecimo
form, in a new and clear type, and on good pa
per. Price 12 2-1 cents per number, or 85 per,
annum, in advance. . ,
Although this work is published penodcally,
in order that the public taste of novelty, may, in
«ome measure, be accommodated, it may either
be procured in Nos. weekly, in vols., each work
complete and distinct in itself, or by subscrip
tion by the year—so, that while it unites all the
advantages io some readers, of the small outlay
at stated periods attendant upon periodical pub
lications, those who may have an objection to
take upon Miemselves the trouble of preserving
single numbers, have the option of purchasing
entTre whatever work «f the series they may
think proper, in any manner most congenial ta
their wishes or circumstances.
The work commenced with “St. Petersburg,
Constantinople and Napoli Di Romani, by Ba
ron Von Tietz, which may be had complete, ei
ther in numbers, or neatly bound, forming vol.
I. of Foster’s Cabinet Miscellany. It is follow
ed by a “Steam Voyage down the Danube, with
Sketches of Hungary, Wallachia, Servia, Tur
key, Ac ” By Michael J. Quin, author ofa
‘Visit to Spain,’ Ac. The first part of which'
has already appeared. Both these works have
been noticed by the reviewers of England with
unqualified praise. ,
The proprietor of this work is impressed with
the opinion that independently of abstruse and
learned treatises, there is an ample demand, on
the part of the reading public for literary matter
of a higher denomination than the new works
of fiction which are at present so prodigally dis
seminated among them, and for books that shall
have a higher aim thsn the mere amusement
and gratification of the idle; he feels assured
also that with a moderate degree of care and
research, selections may easily be made among
the literature of the day, which shall not be de
ficient in rational amusement, even while they
are serving the nobler purposes of informing
the mind, or improving the experience. With
this opinion and assurance he has been induced
to commence the present series, in which he
will endeavor to embody subjects worthy of
being collected and retained, for the purpose ot
re-perusal, reflection, or reference, and which
may not deteriorate the character of a gentle
man’s library.
Mr. Constable, of Edinburgh, was the first to
discover that a signal service might be perform
ed to the world, by embodying, in a cheap and
compact form, a series of publications that
should have utility as their primary object, but
rational amusement in the manner of their con
coction. By issuing a small poition at a time,
and in frequent succession, he conceived that
he should impel the generality of his readers—
not the studious or the literary ones, of course
—to keep up with the publication, and not allow
their reading to run in arrear. By a well-timed
and well-judged selection of articles it is believ
ed that he accomplished, not only this ostensi
ble object, but a secret and more important one.
Gradually a desire for more solid reading in
creased in society, and that which originally
began in the hope of amusement, was continu
ed in the wish for information. Useful matter
was published at a comparatively cheap rate, it
I was continually yet the expense
by
t" insert >wtr
in return
■Reuses bv en-
■J. y current in the
the pre
'sent*: ‘ av e found it expedient
to commence the latter work. But, be it re
membered, that in speaking of the cheapness of
Constable, it is but relatively— as compared with
the publications in Great Britain generally,
which is dearer than that of any part of the
world. Constable’s Miscellany is published at
about halt the English rate, but the present work
purposes to be at one-third even of Constable.
The object then of Foster’s Cabinet Miscella
ny may be. easily explained. It is to introduc.
to the reading public, a series of works that
shall blend entertainment with information—
that shall take ofl the edge of the voracious ap
petite for mere fiction, which has been brought
on by too great a profusion of works of that de
scription—that shall gradually form a collection
of writings which may be referred to with sat
isfaction at a future day, whether to elucidate a
doubtful point, to refresh the memory, or to
compare with a more recent writer; that may
be an ornament to any private library or collec
tion; and that shall be cheaper than has ever
been issued.
The works collected in Foster’s Cabinet Mis
cellany, will be in every range of polite litera
ture. It is intended to suit, as much as pos
sible, every taste, and by an agreeable variety
of subjects as well as styles, to keep tip a heal
thy excitement for rational entertainment.
IVorks of great length, of severe and deep in
vestigation, and of the more abstruse sciences
will, of course, find no place here. It is of the
cheerful, elegant and easy writings of the day,
that the selections will be made: always keep
ing in view', that only substantially good works
will be introduced: in order to which the pub
lisher will use every means to satisfy himself,
before he commits a work to press.
It is trusted that the Cabinet Miscellany will
he a melange of all that is valuable in modem
literature; it will assuredly be the. medium of
introducing works which would hardly find
their way to the American public generally,
through any other source. It will present them
at prices varying from one-fourth to one-sixth,
and in some cases even one-eighth of the Eng
lish cost; and the execution, it is hoped, will
meet with genet al approval.
