POETRY. 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. Examination of a Witness. — Judge—W hat is your business, sir? What do you follow for a livelihood? Wit.—Nothing particular? Judge—You do not appear to be a man of property —how do you get your bread? Wit—l sometimes get it of Mr. Humbert, the baker, sir—and sometimes— Judge—Stop, sir. Understand my ques tion. How do you support yourself? Wit—On a chair, sir, in the day time; on a bed at night. Judge—l do not sit here to trifle. Are you a mechanic? Wit—No sir. Judge—What are youthen? Wit—A Presbyterian, Sir. Judge—l f you do not answer me, I will have you taken care of. Wit—l would thank your honor to do it; for the times are so hard that I cannot take care of myself. Judge—You work around the wharves, I suppose? Wit—No sir—you can’t get around them without a boat, anil I don’t own one. Judge—l believe you are an idle vaga bond. Wit—Your honor is very slow of belief or you would have found that out before. Judge—What do you know of the case be fore the court? Wit—Nothing, sir. Judge—Then why do you stand there? Wit—Because I have no chair tosit in. Judge—Go about your business.— Boston Galaxy. ‘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.

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 cultural Report. 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 esee Farmer. From the Farmer and Gardener. 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.

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. OFFICERS. L.

D- WOODYARD, ) Dec. 17,—33—tds 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.
