The following sublime ode to the Deity, is
from the Russian Anthology, anil was writ
ten by Uerzhaven. It is said that this
poem has been translated into Japanese,
by order of the emperor, and is hung up,
embroidered in gold in the temple of Jed
do. It has also been translated into the
dhinese and Tartar languages, written up
on rich silk, and suspended at tire imperial
palace at Pekin,
O Thou Eternal One! whose presence bright,
All space doth occupy—all motion guide:
Unchanged through times devastating flight
Thou only God! There is no God beside,
Being above all beings! Mighty One!
Whom none can comprehend and none
explore:
Who fillest existence with thy self alone —
Embracing all—supporting—ruling o’er—
Being whom we all call God—and know
no more!
In its sublime research, philosophy
May measure out the ocean deep, may
r>nint
The sand or the sun’s rays—but God! for
thee
There is no. weight nor measure none
can mount
Up to thy mysteries. Reason’s brightest
spark.
Tho’ kindled by thy light, in vain would
try
To trace thy counsels, infinite and dark:
And thought is lost, ere thought 9111 soar
so high:
Even like past moments in eternity.
Thou from primeval nothingness did’st eall
First, chaos, then existence—Lord on thee
Eternity had its foundation—all
Sprung forth from Thee’ of light, joy,
harmony
•Sole origin—all life, all beauty, thine—
Tny word created all, and doth create—
Thv splendour fills all space with rays divine.
Thou art. and wert, and shall be, glorious!
great!
Life-giving, life-sustain : ng potentate!
Thy chains the unmeasured universe sur
round:
Upheld by thee, inspired by thv breath!
Thou the beginning withtiie end hast bound,
And beautifully mingled life and death—
As sparks mount upwards from the fiery
hlaze,
So suns are born, so words spring forth
('fom Thee!
And as the spangles in the sunny rays
Si>ine round the silver snow, the pageantry
Os heaven’s bright army glitters in thy
praise.
A million torches, lighted by thy hand,
Wander unwearied through the blue abyss:
They own thy power, accomplish thy com
mand,
All gay with life all eloquent with bliss.
What shall we call them? Piles of crystal
light?
A glorious company of golden streams?
Lamps of celestial ether burning bright?
Suns lighting systems with their joyous
beams?
But thou to these, art as the noon to night.
Yes! a drop of water in the sea,
All this inagni licence in Thee is lost,
What are a million u orlds compared to Thee!
And what am I, then? Heaven’s unnum
ber’d host.
Though multiplied by myriads, and array’d
In all the glry of sublimest thought.
Is but an atom in the balance weighed,
Against thy greatness —is a cypher bro’t
Against infinity! what ami then? Nought.
•Nought! —But the effulgence of thy light di
vine,
Pervading worlds—hath readied my bo
som too —
Yes! in my spirit doth thy spirit shine,
\s shines the sun beam in a drop of dew.
Naught! but I live, and on hope’s pinions fly
Eager towards thy presence—for in Thee
I In e, and breathe, and dwell—aspiring high,
Even to the throne of thy divinity,
1 am, O God! and surely Thou must j^e!
Thou art! directing, guiding all, Thou art!
Direct rny understanding then to Thee—
Control my spirit, guide my wand’ring heart:
Though but an atom, ’midst immensity,
Still I am something fashioned by thy hand!
1 hold a middle rank, ‘tvvixt heaven and
earth,
On the verge of mortal being stand.
Close to the realms where angels have
their birth.
Just on the boundaries of the spirit land!
The chain of being is complete in me—
In me is matter’s last gradation lost,
And the next step is spirit. Deity!
I can command the lightning and am dust!
A monarch and a slave—a worm, a God!
Whence came 1 here, and how? so marv
’lously
Constructed and conceiv’d This clod
Lives through some higher energy—
for from itself it could not be.
Creator! Yes! thy wisdom and thy word
Created me! Then source of life and good!
Thou spirit of my spirit and mv lord!
Thy light, thy love, in all their bright
plenitude
Pill’d me with an immortal soul, to spring
Over ihe abyss of death, and bade it wear
The garments of eternal day, and wing
Its heavenly flight beyond this little sphere,
Even in its source: to Thee, its Author there.
Q thought ineffable! O visions blest!
Tho’ worthless our conceptions all of TViee.
Yet snail thy shaefowed image fill our breast,
$ And waft its homage to thy Deity,
Cod! thus p.lone my lowly thoughts can soar,
Thus seek thy presence, Being wise and
good
Midst thy vast works, admire, obey, adore—
And when the tongue is eloquent no more,
The soul shall speak in tears of gratitude.
FIIOIH THE SAVANNAH KEPUHLTCAN.
Mr. Eiiitor—l enclose you the following
extract from the “American Farmer,” for
the benefit of those mothers, who are, or j
Inay be afflicted with the disiressing com-;
plaint alluded to. My wife has been twice j
subject to llie same, and in both cases, diriv- j
eil speedy and effectual relief from the ap
plication. fUILANTUBOPOS. j
To prevent the female breast from gathering. 1
Communicated by a mother.
Sir —You are a husband and a father, and
I greatly mistake your character, if it would
not give you particular satisfaction, to com
municate in the Farmer, any means of miti
gating the sufferings which Mothers experi
ence, in endeavoring to give to their infants
from their own breasts, their most congenial
anil healthful sustenance. There is perhaps
in the catalogue of human pains, none more
acute than those which are experienced
from the gathering of the female breast, in
time of giving suck —pains which too often ,
drive the devoted mother with heartfelt re
luctance, to consign to a strange bosom, the j
beloved offspring of her dearest affections, •
therein relinquishing the most interesting of
all her maternal cares of duties, and losing ;
the effect of the most endearing associates, j
provided by natuae, between mother and !
child. But the faithful wife and the tender j
mother, only can understand, for she alone j
can feel the nameless pleasure of imparting
to her child in helpless infancy, its chief j
pleasures, its only nourishment. None else
therefore can estimate the privation. It is
for them and their benefit [ send you a reme
dy which I know by experience to be effec
tual. „
To prevent the female breast from gathering,
or to cure them after they have gathered.
To the yellow of one egg, add one table
spoon full of brown sugar, one of honey,
and one of rum, a small tea spoon full of
powdered alum, and as much of rosin, this
mixture should be put into a pewter vessel
and mixed well together, then put over a
slow fire and stirred all the time with the
finger,* until it comes to a consistence that
will spread easily,f
A plaster of this spread over the breast
before the child is put to them, will prevent
their gathering, or should a fever at any
time fall in them, a plaster of this salve should
immediately prevent gathering: should mat
ter be formed before the application of the
salve, the breast should be kept covered
with a thick brown paper made wet with
run, and the salve over the diseased part on
ly—when it breaks, there should be a teiH
kept in it, and the salve spread on lint, the
salve side next the ulcer—the child should
be taken from the breast as soon as matter
is discovered, which may be done without
the least danger of losing the use of the
breast, (which is too often the case by the
skin cleaving to the bones,) —after tha cure
is made the child may be allowed to suck,
the milk will soon return.
*lt must not be made tco hot to bear your
finger in.
fOn lint, to keep the salve alive.
FROM THE BOSTON G A BETTE.
The following is an extract from a work
lately published, entitled “Letters from the
South and West; by Arthur Singleton, esq.”
which we noticed a few weeks since as hav
ing seen in manuscript:
The Southern delegates affect to ilespisi
the puritanical prejudices of the New-Eng
landers. That, our Eastern forefathers were,
the most of them, book-learned, enterpris
ing, and pious, none may doubt; but tha
they were also big#ted, and superstitious, and
on some points, narrow-minded, perhaps wt
may admit. They came to avoid persecu
tion, and they b<-gan to persecute; they hung
honest women for witches; and they enact
ed a black and blue code of by-laws. It is
probable, that iheir posterity may inherit,
with tlieiy virtues, some of iheir infirmities.
If, however, there be any disparity between
the north and tile south, we believe that isn
partialitity would assign the preference to
north. But it is as reasonable, for the fea
tures of minds, as for the features of faces,
to differ. A patriot, however, will ever dis
dain to become a party minion, to lackey a
demagogue’s skirts through every thorn
hedge of opposition, and slough of disgrace;
or to be coerced out of the way of honor, by
a fierj threat levelled at his fortune; but not
withstanding his enemies may thrust at him
theirforky tongues, he will hang on to his
fait, civil and religious, like grim death
\ tampering party-spirit is like two persons
attempting to guide one steed; allhough they
may at times between them keep him in the
right road; yet, generally, ihey will divert
him into jeopardy of their safety.
In reading Ancient, or Modern History, it
appears, that most Governments have not
shunned, less or more, to grind the face of
the poor. Legislators-seem to have a dis
tinct interest; to look more to themselves,
than to the numerous body for whom they
legislate. It is not so in our Republic. Yet
l wish that tlie debaters would think more,
and speak less; or, at least, put their thoughts
into a vice, and compressthem; or, one mem
ber not to repeat what another member has
just spoken. If members of congress were
charged with the price of the time, at the ra
tio of their pay; would they often speak,
without something to say? Are most spee
ches from patriotism, or from selfism? straws
to tickle constituents? counters to induce re
election? It is remarked of the Eastern ora
tors, that they ever hem, and clear their
pipes, at the end of every sentence. Some
congress arguers are always beating about
the bush, but never close upon the game.
Others clothe an idea in as many words, as a
Dutchman wears breeches; abounding in
what the lawyers call surplusage. Some
speakers, asif to render confusion worse con
founded, seem to begin in the middle, and
to leave off at both end. When auditors can
tell what dress an orator has on, he is not
truly eloquent—when the impression left is
of the subject only he is truly eloquent.—
After Cicero, it was exclaimed: “What an
elegant orator, what learning, what genius!”
After Demosthenes, it was vociferated:—
“Let us march against Philip!” Os our elo
quent statesmen, speaker A. is now like the
fawn, touching lightly on every part—and
now like the elephant, making the earth to
tremble. Os speaker B. his display is like
the dress of a gala-lady—so bedizened in or
nament, that we can with difficulty find the
lady herself. B’s eloquence is very brilliant,
and sometimes forcible—but it has no more
effect upon the depth or strength of A’s,
than the twilight dews on the Potomac.—
Heaven support the speaker, to sit in state,
two or three months, listening, or eppearing
to listen, to such drowsy,over-and-over-again
prosings, as sometimes tantalize him. I have
iieard of a stupid member, who once had ‘
been stammering away for about four hours 1
in the hall, on some trivial knap-worn topic, j
and who noticing ’.be Speaker 10 turn away •
his head for a breath or two, stopped ghort, I
and growled out:—thank Mr: Speaker!
for his eye! '* “I’ll thank Mr. Speaker fpr
his Heaven support the Speaker, and
elongate his patience. It is a regret, that
votes, upon an important question, cannot
be taken by weight of character —and not an ,
ignorant man’s vote be as heavy as a wise ,
man’s vote. It has beep a question, whether j
an elected representative should vote ac
cording to instructions from his constituents, ;
as he attends as their servant, to act for the 1
states confederated, and for his constituents
in particular? Or whether he may exercise
his own judgment, as he is the head placed 1
by them on their shoulders—and which, if
they dislike, th6y can exchange at the next j
poll? I conceive that, as he goes to act, not
for himself, but for them, his individual private
judgment is merged in the majority oftheirs,
when known—and that thus he should vote
or resign—and that, at such time, as not to
leave his district unrepresented.
While here, I have heard John Randolph
speak in the Hall twice. A slim, meagre, ,
hollow-backed, round shoulderedfigure, with
his lemon skin, and little retreating nose,
and sharp scooping chin, and his smooth ,
light brown hair kemped back from his fore
head, and gathered by a string aloose down
his back, with his shrill feminine voice, which
can swell to a wonderful compass, and his
unabashable self-possession, and searching
twinkling eye, and his long slender denoting
finger. Although he boasts of princely In
dian blood, he has not much of Indian taci
turnity. His querulous quality of mind, and
excentricity of dress, made me think of the
paradoxical Rousseau, in his Armenian garb;
indeed, in some particulai’9, there is a resem
blance between the Genevan and American
citizen—however the latter may be the bet
ter man. He lias, perhaps, more genius,
than judgment—ever vacillating, vet fixed—
he is a party by himself. He is fitter to pull
down, than to build up—a clog to both par
ties—to whom l>e is a kind of amusing, yet
dreaded Menippus. Although his speeches
want the htcidns ordo, yet he always draws at
tention by the pungency cf his sarcasm, the
raciness of his desultory matter, and the
unique spell of his manner. He is a batche
lor, a wealthy Virginian planter on the Roan
oke, and said to be a man of a noble spirit, a
fine hunter, and a Christian.
