THE PATRIOT,
nrroiu: ms r.z ecutiox.
tfulct ft decorum est pro patria tnori.
These line? were written some, time since on
receiving an account of the spirit with
which a young Spanish officer met Instate
•t the hands of Ferdinand the Seventh.
The clock hath told the parting hour,
The last that it shall toll to me,
Eve, disenthrall’d from lawless power,
I soar into eternity.
These massy w alls, this clanking chain—
The strength of man that keeps me here,
In one short hour shall art in vain—
Mind is beyond the starry sphere.
Tt lives where tyrants cannot go—
In realms ofliberty and light;
Their utmost malice ends below,
And leads to ireedom infinite.
i greet thee, Death ! not one weak fear
Shall pMe my brow or shake my limb;
1 v. i!l not shame the freeman’s bier,
Or on it leave a stain for him.
Dauntless I’ll die, as man should die,
For freedom, and the unborn world ;
There’s ev’n joy thus manfully
To meet the bolts Oppression burl'd.
1 would not linger life in chains,
Though life to me, to all, is dear;
J w ould not court the slave who reigns
ti'er Spain, for lengthen’d slavery here.
I could not breathe the bright blue air,
The glorious heaven, the rich sun see,
And brook that all in Nature fair,
I he breezes, all, save man, be free.
Should I, whom death now sets at rest,
Itepinc to leave a few short years,
In bondage passed, till age- oppress'd.
And dotage closed a scene of tears >
Who envies not the patriot's doom 1 '
He has a joy in dying well;
His name shall echo from the tomb
The oppressor’s fear, and freedom’s spell.
To him the scaffold is a throne,
His fate a trumpet of appeal
To bondaged nations, that shall ow n
His name a pledge, his blood a seal.
The follow ing is a translation from an ancient
Spanish Poem, which, says the F.dinburgh
Kevicw, is surpassed by nothing which we
arc acquainted with, in the Spanish'lan
guage, except the Odes of Luis de Leon.
O .' let the soul its slumlier break,
Arouse his senses and awake,
To see how soon
Life with its glories glid e away,
And the stern footsteps of decay
Come stealing on.
-And while we eye the rolling tide,
Down which our flying minutes glide
Always so fast ;
Let us the present hour employ,
And deem each future dream of joy
Already past.
1 et no vain hope dc ceive the mind—
No happier let us hope to find
To-morrow than to-day.
<~lur golden dreams of yore were bright,
.Like them the present shall delight—
Like them decay.
Dur lives like hasting streams must be,
That into one engulphing sea
Are doomed to fall—
The sea of death, whose waves roll on
D'erking and kingdom, crow n and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike live river’s lordly tide,
Alike the humble rivulets glide
To that sad wave:
Death levels poverty and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Dur birth is but a starting place ;
Life is the running of the race,
Aral death the goal:
T here all those glittering toys are brought;
1 hut path alone, of all unsought,
is found of all.
N'ay, tfirn, how poor and little wonh
Are all those glittering toys of earth,
That lure us here 1
Dreams of a sleep that death must break,
Alas ! b* fore it bids us wake, .
Ye disappear!
I ong ere the damps of death can blight,
The cheek’s pure glow of red and white
Hath passed away;
Youth smiled, and all was heavenly fair ;
Yge came, and laiJ his finger there,
And w here are they ?
Where is the strength that mocked decay,
The stt p that rolled so light and gay,
The heart’s blythe tone ?
The strength is gone, the step is slow,
\nd joy grows weariness and wo,
W hen age comes on.
Tlie iollow ing lines from the pen of Mr. Car
ter, of New-York, will find responsive
feelings in every bosom —though few, pro-
Tjubiy, could have given utterance to them
in the same plaintive elegance :
Oil 1 who hath not, in melancholy mood,
ilnsing at eve, in some sequestered wood,
Mr where the torrent’s foaming waters pour
Or ocean’s billows murmur on the shore ;
Oh ! who hath not*, in such a moment, ga2’d,
As heaven’s bright hosts in cloudless glory
blaz’d,
And felt a sadness steal upon his heart,
To think that he with this fair scene must
part !
'I hut while those billows heave, those waters
flow,
Those garnished skies refulgent still shall
glow,
He, that once watch’d them, shall have pass’d
away,
His name forgot, his ashes blent with clay,
k niike those glittering orbs, those quenchless
fires,
fi>rdkin’d to roll, till time itself expires !
INDEPENDENCE
I ;ong as yon sun shall mark the bounds of
time,
Oy yonder west shall fling its bolts sublime,
Oft as yon field in summer green is dress’d,
Or yonder lake unlocks its crystal breast ;
So oft on this, our country’s natal day,
Tjet Christians kneel and free will homage pay;
l.ct patriots round their country’s altar stand,
Their vows renew, their public views expand;
:me nts of their sires dilate.
Miscellaneous.
Kxtiact from Mr. Coidi n’s Speech on tin- pro
position to celebrate the opening of the N.
York Canal.
“This rapidity'of execution has
exceeded the expectations of the
most sanguine friends of the Canals.
Indeed, there wer many estima
ble citizens, who, while they ad
mittee the utility of the project, if
it could be executed, did not be
lieve. in its practicability. Permit
me to relate an anecdote, which
serves to show how farthis incredu
lity Avas carried in some instances.
“ In June, 1820, (less than three
vears from the time the Erie Canal
was commenced) I travelled upon
it ninety odd miles, from Utica to
Montezuma. Somewhere near
the Oneida Lake, the Canal runs
on the side of a hill through the
skirt of a wood of heavy timber, so
that it is thirty or forty feet above
the site of a house on a plain at the
foot of the declivity. At this place
we stopped to rest, and feed the
h«ree that towed the boat. I avail
ed myself of the opportunity to
visit the house which was near us.
I found a respectable looking old
gentleman enjoying his pipe in the
shade of his porch. To several in
quiriesabout the canal, his answers
admitted its advantages, but with
such coldnessaml reluctance in his
manner, that I was induced to ask
him to tell me candidly, whether
he had not some fault to find with
it. Well den, 1 will tell you, said
the old gentleman—“ Three years
ago they came surveying in my
woods, up upon the hill there. I
asked what they were about.—
They told me they were going to
make a canal. 1 asked, said he,
what is that ? W hy, a river.—
What, a river up here in my
woods —and where is the water to
come from! From the lakes.—
What! the water to come from
the lakes up this hill? Yes, we
shall bring water here, and you
shall see boats conveying hundreds
of wagon loads passing before your
door. Well, said 1, continued the
old man—if Cod let me live till
you make a river up here in my
woods, 1 do not wish to live any
longer: and now, said he, with a
sigh, which betrayed that he felt
he expressed his incredulity irrev
erendly and in a manner he regret
ted, there is a river, and here are
you in a boat upon it! Many, and
probably myself among the rest,
would have been of this old gen
tleman’s opinions, if we had before
our eyes, as he had, a sample of
the Herculean labors which were
to be performed before the design
could be accomplished. The mere
rooting up the majestic finest trees
which then occupied a great 'part
of the line of canal, would have
seemed to one, who had not seen
the facility with which such labors
are performed by our woodsmen
more than could have been done
in the time which had then elaps
ed since the susveyors were making
the course of this great water-way.
The Indian and the: Bear. —A
Deleware hunter once shot a huge
bear and broke his back bone.
The animal fell and set up a most
plantive cry, something like that of
the panther when he is hungry.
The hunter, instead of giving him
another shot, stood up close to
him and addressed him in these
words :—“ Hark ye, bear, you are
a coward, and no warrior, as you
pretend to be. Were you a war
rior, you would show it by your
firmness, and not cry and whim
per like an old woman. You know,
bear, that our tribes are at war with
each other, and that yours was the
aggressor. You have found the In
dians too powerful for you, and
you have gone sneaking about in
the woods stealing their hogs ; per
haps at this time you have hog’s
llesh in your belly. Had you con
quered me, 1 would have borne it
with courage, and died like a brave
warrior; but you, bear, sit here
and cry, and disgrace your tribe
by your cowardly conduct.” 1 was
present at the delivery of this cu
rious invective. When the hunter
had dispatched the bear, I asked
him how he thought the poor ani
mal could understand what he said
to it ? Oh ! said he, in answer—
“the bear understood me very
well; did you not observe how
ashamed he looked while I was up
braiding him.— lleckewelder.
WOMAN.
The female sex is greatly supe
rior to the male, in mildness, pa
tience, benevolence, affection, and
attachment. While the crimes of
women, like prodigies, excite our
wonder, their virtues occupy every
corner of society, and constitute in
its rude or its civilized state, the
solace, the cement, and the orna-

THE
MATHEMATICAL DIARY;
CONTAINING new researches
and improvements in Mathema
tics : with collections of questions,
proposed and resolved by ingenious
Correspondents ; in quarterly num
bers : conducted bv It. ADRIAN,
LL. D F. A P S. F. A. A. S. &c.
and professor of Mathematics and
Natural Philosophy in Columbia Col
lege, New-York.
Published by James Ryan, at the
Classical and Mathematical Book
store, 322 Broadway, New-York.
The principal object of this little
work 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
speculations 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, &c.
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 any thing that can give a
better view of the very general dif
fusion of mathematical knowledge in
Great Britain, than an examination
of the works which we have just
mentioned.
The English Ladies’ Diary, which
is published annually, was begun in
1704, and has 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 Wall ace 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
aHBHMiMMtiIMNIia
The latter is under the direction of
Professor Thompson, of the Belfast
Institution, a gentleman extremely
well qualified lor the work by his
talents aud impartiality.
In this country, also, several similar
works have appeared, and have been
productive of some advantages in
improving, as well as in disseminat
ing, the science of mathematics , but
their usefulness has been limited to
various causes, which, it is hoped,
will pot operate on the present un
dertaking. These works, as they
successively appeared, were, The
Mathematical Correspondent, con
ducted by the late ingenious Mr.
(ieorge Baron ; The Analyst, by the
Editor of the present work ; The
Scientific Journal, by Mr. Marrat;
and the Philosophic Magazine, or
Gentleman’s Diary, hy 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. Bow ditch.
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 will be 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
number will be designated hy the
name of the person who obtains the
prize.
N. B. Specimens of this work may
he seen at the Book Store of A. M.
Hobby, Milledgeville, where those
desirous to have the Work, can
