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 upon dogs; it went no"farther, howtivr, than to empower towns to pass bye-lav s for that purpose. It occasioned the fol lowing jeu d' sprit in the Bellows Foils In telligencer, ttom jome l'ricnd of the canine race i 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. Miscellaneous. * 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. les ed religion, thought 1, how hap py are thy children! %\lalt and Female Academies, AT HILLSBOROUGH.

Dec. 20, 1825 * ts 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. Dec. 30. MANSION ' House.
