HEBREW MELODY. 1 O Saw ye the rose of the East’ In the valley of Sharon that grows? Ye daughters of Judah, how blest To breathe in the sweets of my rose! Come, tell me if yet she’s at rest • In her couch with the lilies inwove ; Or if wantons the breeze with her breast, For my heart it is sick for my love. a I charge you, ye virgins unveil’d, That stray ’mong the sycumdre trees, By the rose and the hinds of the field, That ye wake not my love till she please. The garden with flowers is in blow’ And rosesunni'mbcr’d are there; Then tell how they love we shall know, For the daughters of Zion are fair 1” 3 A bed of frankincense her cheek, And wreath of sweet myrrh is her hand; Her eye the bright gem that they seek By the rivers and streams of the land ; Her smile from the morning she wins ; Her teeth are the lambs on the hill p Her breasts two young roes that are twins, And feed on the vallies at w ill. 4 As the cedar ’mong trees of the wood, As the lily ’mid shrubs of the heath, As the tower of Damascus that stood • Overlooking the hamlets beneath ; As the moon i hat in glory we see ’Mid the stars and the planets above,— Even sc among women is she, And my bosom is ravished with love! 6 Return with the evening star, And our couch on Amana shall be; From Shinar and Hermon afar Thou the mountains of leopards shall see. O, Shulamto, turn to thy r< st, Wheri the olive o’ershadows the land ; As the roe of the desert make haste, For the singing of birds is at hand ! SCRAPS. in the silver moon light. There is a dangerous silence in that hour, A stillness which leaves room for the full 'soul To open all istelf, without the power Os caliing wholly back its self-control; The silver light which, hallowing tree and tower, Sheds beauty and deep softness o’er the whole, Breathes also to the heart, and o’er it throws A loving languor, which is not repose. ’Tis sweet to see the evening star appear ; ’Tis sweet to listen as the night winds creep From leaf to leaf; ’tis sweet to view cn high The rainbow, based on ocean, span the sky. ’Tis sweet to hear the watchdog’s honest bark Bay deep-mouthed welcome as we draw near home; Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark Our coming, and look brighter when we come: ’Tis swact to be awaken’d by the lark, Or lull’d by falling waters; sweet the ** h*n* ••• Os bees, the voire of girls, the song of birds, The lisp of children, and their eariies: words. .. .. ’fis sweet to put an end To strife ; 'tis sometimes sweet to have our quarrels, Particularly with a tiresome friend; -and the dear school-boy spot Wc ne’er forget, though tliere we are forgot. But sweeter still than tliis, then these, then all, is lit t< nd passionate km—it stands n’on* Like Adam's recollection of las tali. [OR $4 IF NOT PAID IN SIX MONTHS. NO. 35...-VOL. I. One Mr9 Townsend lived in the snme houKe*ln which one Peck kept a {rrocery-store, that was principally served by Mrs Peck and her daugh ter, Ann. Mrs Townsend was a pretty good customer to Mrs Peck and her daughter Ann, though they say she sometimes made her own change at the money drawer when she purchased an article, on which .occasion she not unfrequently took out rather more cash than she put in, besides taking home the articles she had purchased in this profitable man* ner. But nevertheless Mrs Towns end became dissatisfied with, pur chasing groceries even at this ac commodating rate, and transferred her custom to another shop. The loss of so valuable a customer, Mrs. P«'ck was determined not to put up with, and though she made no complaints about Mrs Townsend’s mode of making change while she continued a customer at her shop, she could not hold in her ire when she saw her making purchases*, at a rival establishment; and no > sooner had this desertion on the part of Mrs Townsend taken place, than Mrs Peck declared she was a thief, and had stolen money out of her drawer ; and whenever Mrs. Town c end passed through the entry of the house to go to the rival shop, which was very often, Mrs. Peck, with arm akimbo, and not thesweet ost voice in the world, would cry out to her daughter in the shop, “ Ann„ take care of the drawer, the thief is coming.” This was too much for human nature to put up with, and ifter due consultations with friends and attornies, and plenty of scolding from tht bottom to the top of the *toirs between the fair belligerents, Townsend and wife brought aa -rtion of damages against Peck ar4 wife. Peck and wife did all that mortals could do to show on the rial that Mrs. Townsend was no better that she should be, and that her fingers were rather the rev rse if heavy fingers; in which they -uceeded tolerably w 11; but never theles the jury, on deliberation, deci ded that Pock should pay Townsend £ 150, in damages, nhd $73 costs, for t' e use hi E wife had made of her tongue, that being the sum the buy under the circumstances ftns'deied Airs. T’s character to be worth. We might add a very sage n oral to this story, but we will only beg . every man, or rather evey man’s wife, after reading it, to Iqy tbeir fore-finger on the tip of that delicate, volatile, uneasy little member, .the tongue, and make their own r flec tions by way of improvenn nt. New- York Purer. COMMUNICATION. To the Editor of the Georgia Statesman : Sir—As Mr. Clark’s piece has not bed ac- * cess to the columns of the 'Georgiy Journal,* I request you to insert the following in yau* next. H. O. W. P. Clark’s piece, as published in the “Patri't” and “Statesman,” of the ;s'h 'r st. • in replv to some observations of Col. touc> ng the reputation of his Falls , v v» handed to one of the Editors of the G< g gia Journal, the Saturday previous to the der on which that paper is issued—accompanied wi:h a request that it should appear in their next. The Monday following, the Editor waved the necessity or proi"iety of on insertion, by re plying, that be considered Mr. Clarktoo young to become responsible for his article. Now, I would ask, with all due deff -ence to tho jpin ons of others, what rtsponsibility is at tached to that piece? Is i not accompanied v. i h proof? Yes ; an • that too as strong as Holy Writ—and if any interested indiridual doubts it, he can be convinced, byartference to tho pers on who holds Col. Jones’ letter in. its original shape. —But why did this Editor delsv making a reply to Mr. Clark’s request, from Saturday until Monday 1 It savours strong ofconsultation. —‘“l he author of the piece alluded to is too young!” And low <Ha the Editor asce-tain this ? It semis that this man is Chronicler as well as Editor. Let it suffice, that Mr. Clark has been sebjeet to Militia duty for months past, and is ameuiable to the laws o' his country. Mr. Clark, I believe, is a little old( r 1 art Master Gilmore, of Morgan county, whose toast was published in the Journal of the 25th u!t. 1 will give it as it appeared: “Bv Mas ter Gilmore, a youth of 11 years old only— Bartlett, the Editor of the Patriot; his t-lsnU for lying ;re equalled by none; may his ori ginal name be forgotten, and may he be known by no other than that which has been given him, the G' orgia Gulliver.” Here is calumny with a vengeance, and responsibility too—-t and all in the Georgia Journal. But it is all nd" ; for the shot is aimed where they wish it. Yet poor boy 1 he is young and little, his g> i .• short arid light, powder w<ak, and flint l>m in fine, this toast is bare assertion. No; so with Mr. Clark’s expose. I would feign he lievi that a motive quite different froo that above cited, actuated this Editor, in refusing an insertion of Mr. Clark's piece in the Journ al. It is this, that l««e publication would phee Col. Jones, their personal and politic ll frn t.d, in a situation not to be envied. Before I conclude, I would wish the public to rccolleqt, that those r< marks of Coi. ac.i . s» were not mad- in the “ hurry of a mom nt,” nor were they the effect of an exciter- ent roused by opposition. No—they were the result of “closet meditation.” “ Ye Gods 1 It U shame, thgt (nan clothed with a littla brief authority Bhould play such fantastic tricks before 1 igh heaven— As make Angels ween.
