POETRY^
The hand that penned the following lints is
mouldering with its kindred dust. The au
thor was a Lady, who, a few years since,
With hi r husband and an inten sting fami
ly, miiiorcd from New V u*k to Blakely, for
her health, which was rapidly decKning.—
While she was nppar* ntly recovering, her
husband, who united with a fine and culti
vated mind, the most amiable qualities, was
suddenly summoned to another world.—
She survived about two years, and after tn
counti ring the rudest shocks of adversity,
and enduring the sharpest pangs of afflic
tion, with a degree of fortitude rare ly equil
led, composed this little piece a few days
fcfi’ore she sunk under her accumulated sor
rows, to rise no more until awakened by
the last trumpet.
1 sc id to Sorrow’s awful storm
That beat against my breast,
Jlage on—thou may’st destroy this form
And lay it low, at rest,
But still the spirit, that now brooks
Thy tempest raging high
Undaunted on its fury looks
With steadfast aye.
T skid to P' nury’s meagre traio,
Advance, your threats I brave —
My last poor life-drop you may drain
And crush me to the grave,
Yet still the spirit that endures,
Shall mock your force the while,
And meet each cold, cold grasp of yours,
With BITTER SMILE.
1 said to cold neglect and scorn,
Pass on, I heed you not —
Ye may pursue me, till my form
And being are forgot.
Yet still the spirit which you see,
Undaunted by your wiles,
Draws from its own nobilily
Its high-born smiles.
? said to Friendship’s menaced blow,
Strike deep, my heart snail bear—
Thou can’s! hut add one bitter woe
To those already there,
Y r et still the spirit that sustains
This last severe distress,
Shall smile upon its keenest pains,
And storiN redress.
1 said to Death’s uplifted dart,
Aim sure, O, why delay ?
Thou wilt not iind a fearful heart —
A weak, reluctant, prey,
For still the spirit, firm and free,
Triumphant oe'r the last dismay,
Wrapp’d in its on n eternity,
Shall smiling pass away.
A DILL was introduced at the recent session
of the Legislature of Vermont, to lay a tux

TO MY DOG JOWLF.R,
fhi hearing of the lute motion in the
Legislature.
Jowler! they’ve taxed ye, honest friend,
Assessed ye, put ye in the roll ;
To exile every dog they’ll send,
Unless some friend will pay his poll.
By nil that's good ! the rascals meant
’Tween you anil me to breed a strife,
To drive you into banishment,
Or bribe your friend to take your life.
But JowlerJ don’t you be alarmed
If politicians do neglect ye,
For all their tax ye shan’t be harm’d—
-1 love, and honor, and respect ye.
But taxes, says the constitution,
Convey the right to represent,
So dogs, by this same resolution,
May just as well as men be sent.
Now dogs, and men, and voters hear !
That Jowler’s put mi nomination
Togo, upon the coming year,
And aid in public legislatwn.
Jow 'er, steer clear of demagogues,
Steer clear of the minority,
Take care to smell of other dogs,
But veto with the majority.

* From an English paper.
ME RC AN TILE M A RRI AGE.
A merchant, originally from Liv
erpool, having acquired n large for
tune in one of our West India Is
lands, concluded that he could not'
be happy in the enjoymentof it, un
less he shared it with a woman of
merit; and knowing none to his
fancy, he wrote to a worthy cor
respondent of his in Liverpool, to
procure “ a help-mate” for him.
He was not acquainted with any
style except that used in business;
therefore, treating a flail's of
love as of matters of merchan
dise, after giving his friend sev
eral commissions, and reserving
this for the last he Went on thus :
“ Item —Seeing that I have taken
a resolution to marry, and that I
do not find a suitable match for
me here, do not fail to send, per
next ship bound hither, a young
woman of the qualifications and
form following : as for portion, 1
demand none ; let her be of an ho-
family, between twenty and
twenty-five years of age, of a mid
dle stature, and well proportioned;
her face agreeable, her temper
mild, her character blameless, her
health good, and her constitution
strong enough to bear the changes
of climate, that there may be no
occasion to look out for a second,
- through loss of the first, soon after
she comes to hand—which must
be provided against as much as
possible, considering the great dis
tance and dangers of the sea. If
she arrives here conditioned as
above said, with the present letter
endorsed by you, or at least a true
copy thereof, that there may be no
mistake or imposition, I hereby ob
lige and engage myself to satisfy
i the said letter by marrying the
i bearer at fifteen days sight. In
witness v hereof, I subscribe, &c.”
The correspondent read over and
over this odd article, which put the
future spouse on the same footing
with the bale of goods he was to
send to his friend, and after ad
miring the prudent exactness of
the West Indian, (whose integrity
he well knew), and his laconic
style in enumerating the qualifica
tions which he insisted on, he en
deavoured to serve him to his mind,
and after many inquiries, he judg
ed he liad found a lady fit for his
purpose—of reputable family, but
slender fortune ; of good temper
and polite education, well shaped,
and more than commonly- beauti
ful. He made the proposal to her,
and the young woman, whose de
pendence was chiefly upon a cross
old aunt, with whom she lived in a
state of perpetual uneasiness, ac
cepted it. A ship, bound for the
island, was then fitting out at Li
verpool ; the young woman togeth
er with the bales of goods, was put
on board; being well provided with
necessaries, and particularly with
a certificate in due form, and en
dorsed by the correspondent. She
Was also included in the invoice,
the last article of which ran thus :
“ Item—A young gentlewoman, of
twenty-four years of age, quality,
shape, and condition, as per order,
as appears from the certificates and
affidavits she has to produce.” The
writings which were thought ne
cessary for so exact a man as her
future husband, were, an extract
from the parish register ; a certifi
cate of her character attested by
the clergyman ; an attestation by
her neighbours setting forth that
she had patiently lived for three
years with an old aunt, who was
intolerably peevish, and had not,
during all that time, given the said
aunt the least occasion of com-
plaint ; and lastly, the goodness
of her constitution was attested by
four physicians. Before the gen
tlewoman’s departure, the corres
pondent sent letters of advice by
other ships to his friend, informing
him that per such ship he should
send a young woman, of such an
age, character, condition, &c.—in
a word, such as he himself had re
quested to be sent.—The letters
of advice, the bales, and the young
woman got* safe to port, and the
West Indian, who was one of the
foremost on the pier at the lady’s
landing, was charmed to see so
handsome a female, more especial
ly when she, approaching him in
the most graceful and modest man
ner, said‘Sir I have a bill of ex
change upon you, 1 beg you will
be pleased to honour it.’ At the
same time she delivered his cor
respondent’s letter, on reading
which he exclaimed, ‘Ah! Mad
am, I never yet suffered my bilis to
be protested, and I assure you this
shall not be the first. I shall re ck
on myself the most fortunate of
men, if you will allow me to dis
charge it.’ ‘ Yes, Sir,’ she replied
‘ and the more willingly, since 1 am
apprised of your character; we
had several persons of honour on
board, who knew you very well,
and who gave you so exalted a
character, that ! feel the most per
fect esteem for you.’ This inter
view was in a few days followed by
the nuptials, which were very mag
niiicient, and the new married cou
ple were well satisfied with their
happy union, negotiated by a bill
of exchange.
JULIA —A Fragment
***** She was sisting at the
head of his grave —and the grass was
beginning to look green upon the
turf round the stone, where her tears
usually fell—She had not observed
me, and l stood still. “ Thou hast
left me, Fidelio,” said she, l ending
her face down to the turf—“ thou
hast left me—Jaut it was to attend a
dearer call. I will not weep, (she
sobbed), for it was the call of one
who loved the better. Thou hast
down to his bosom—and what hast
thou left behind thee for thy poor
Juliet, but this cold sod ?” She was
silent some moments. The full moon
was just beginning to climb over the
tops of the trees, as I came up, and
she stooped to kiss the turf. I saw
the tears trickling through the moon
beams, in hasty drops from her eyes.
“Thou hast left ine,” said Juliet,
raising her face from the grave—
“ but we shall meet again. I shall
shall see thy face again—hear thee
speak; and then we shall part no
more.” She rose cheerfully to re
tire Thetear was still trembling in
her ve. Never till that moment did
1 ' ehcld so sweet a charm. One
might read the sentence in her face,
“ thou hast left me,” said the tear—
“ hut we shall meet again, and then
shall part no more,” said the smile.

THE
MATHEMATICAL DIARY;
CIONTAINTNG new researches
/ and improvements in Mathema
tics: with collections of questions,
proposed and resolved by ingenious
Correspondents ; in quarterly num
bers : conducted l>v R. ADRIAN,
LL. D F. A. P. S. F A. A S. &c.
un»l professor of Mathematics and
Natural Philosophy in Columbia Col
lege, New-York.
Published by James Ryan, at the
Classical and Mathematical Book
-tore, .822 Broadway, New-York.
The principal object of this little
ark is to excite the genius and in
dustry of those who have a taste for
mathematical studies, by affording
them an opportunity of laying their
.-peculations before the public, in an
advantageous manner ; and thus to
spread the knowledge of mathema
tics in a way that is both effectual
and agreeable. It is well known to
mathematicians, that nothing contri
butes more to the developement of
mathematical genius, than the efforts
made by the students, to discover
the solution of new and interesting
questions ; and accordingly we find
that many attempts have been made
to apply this fact in such a manner
as to render it most beneficial to so
ciety.
With this view, many periodical
works, embracing mathematical in
quiries, have been published in Great
Britain : as, The Ladies’ Diary, The
Gentlemen’s Diary, The Mathema
tical Companion, Dr. Hutton’s Mis
cellanea Curiosa, Leybourn’s Mathe
matical Repository, &e.
These publications have had great
influence on the state of mathemati
cal science in that country ; and, ac
cording to the opinions of some per
sons well acquainted with the sub
ject, have advanced the knowledge
of mathematics more rapidly and ex
tensively than many other works of
greater magnitude. Indeed, there is
scarcely hny thing that can give a
better view of the very general dif
fusion of mathematical knowledge in
Great Britain, than an examination
of the tvorks which we have just
mentioned. A
The English Ladies’ Diary, which
is published annually, was begun in
1704, and lias continued till the pre
sent time. Among its successive
conductors, were the eminent mathe
maticians, Simpson and Dr. Hutton ;
and in the.list of its contributors are
enrolled the names of many of the
best mathematicians that England
has ever produced ; it is sufficient to
mention Emerson, Simpson, Landen,
Lawson, Vince, Hutton, Dalby, Ma
jor Henry Watson, Wales, and
Mudge. It contains a great num
ber of useful and interesting prob
lems in all the branches of mathe
matics.
Leybourn’s Repository is a work
of great merit, Many of its prob
lems, solutions, and researches, are
learned and ingenious. It is sup
ported by the labours of the first
mathematicians in England, as Bar
low, Ivory, Professor Wallace of Ed
inburgh. and many others of distin
guished abilities.
Similar works have been long in
use among the mathematicians of
Ireland. The Ladies’ Diary and the
Belfast Almanac are publications of
considerable utility in extending the
knowledge of mathematical science
The latter is under the direction of
Professor Thompson, of the Belfast
Institution, a gentleman extremely
well qualified for the work by his
talents aud impartiality.
In this country, also, several similar
works have appeared, and have been
productive of some advantages in
imptoving, as well as in disseminat
ing, the science of mathematics , but
their usefulness has been limited to
various causes,'which, it is hoped,
will not operate on the present un
dertaking. These works, as they
successively appeared, were, The
Mathematical Correspondent, con
ducted by the late ingenieos Mr.
George Baron ; The Analyst, by thr.
Fiditor of the present werk ; The
Scientific Journal, by Mr Marrat;
and the Philosophic Magazine, or
Gentleman’s Diary, by Mr, Nash.
Among the contributors to these
publications, were several ingenious
and learned mathematicians; as,
Gummere, the author of two good
elementary treatises, the one on sur
veying, the other on astronomy ; the
very ingenious and much lamented
professor Fisher-; and the profound
•mathematician, Dr. Bowditch.
In the present work, which will be
published in quarterly numbers, con
tributors of new discoveries or im
provements in mathematics, or of
new problems and solutions, shall
have their communications publish
ed with accuracy, and ascribed to
their respective authors.
A prize question xvill lie proposed
in each number of the work, and the
choice of the question will depend
on its elegance, curiosity, or utility,
in improving or extending science.
For the best solution, a prize will be
given of ten copies of the number
containing the solution ; and that
jlfOmber will be designated bv the
name of the person who obtains the
prize.
N. B. Specimens of this work may
be seen at the Book Store of A. M.
Hobby, Milledgeville, where those
desirous to have the Work, can
leave their Subscriptions.
