CHRONICLE & SENTINEL. POETRY AND MISCELLANY. From the Olive Branch. FORGET ME NOT. i The beautiful little flower called “Forget-Me-Not,” ' blooms io luxuriant profusion on the graves of the he- j roes of Waterloo. Amid the fallen warriors 5 tombs, Where heroes 5 ashes rot, A lovely little flower there blooms, The sweet “ Forget-me-not It fair and beautiful appears, Though sown ’mid carnage, groans and tears. There are whose mouldering ashes lie Where banners proudly sweep, Where guilded ’scutcheons mark the eye, And marble statues weep. Oh! there is grief enough in stone, But hearts that burst with sorrow —none. More holy far than these the spot Where rests the warriors’ bones ; Though marble statues mark it not, Nor monumental stones; • There needs no sculptured pile to tell Where those who bled for freedom fell. Oh, no! beneath her silent pall, Should dark oblivion hide The fond remembrance of all We hold most dear beside, The flowers upon their graves forbid That their remembrance should be hid. Their flowery epitaph is writ Where Nature’s footsteps tread ; ’Twas Freedom’s self indited it, Above the deathless dead ; And you may read upon the spot “ Forget-me-not—Forget-me-not,” I ask no more —unstrung and broken My feeble lyre—l crave Os tender griefthis one sweet token, That on my lonely grave These flow’rets may appear, Planted by those who loved me here. From Sharp's Magazine. Lament of the Christian* I give thee to thy parent dust, Thou loved and wasted form : I murmur not, for God is just, And I am but a worm; I kneel upon thy grave, while prayer Bursts from mine aching heart, Ah, Saviour, reunite us, where We cannot part! Thou Merciful! My tears are balm, My very grief is bliss; How shall I thank thee, for a calm So deep and still as this ! The full assurance of my faith Is built on thy true word. I know that there is life in death, Life with the Lord. Thou not condenmest that my tears, So fast, so bitter, flow— No, 1 may pour into thine ears The fullness of my woe ; 1 come as to a friend, whose heart Its humanness hath kept. Who shall forbid my tears to start, Since Jesus wept! Thou know’st how hard it is to give] The love of years away, Thou know’st ’tis bitterness to live, — Yet not for death I pray; I pray for patience—strength to hear The burthen thou hast given, And faith to cheer my fainting prayer With thoughts of heaven. Y et, if a rebel thought oppose Thy spirits pure control, Oh, charge it on my mighty woes, Noton my feeble soul ! By thee my weakness strength shall win. In thee my soul shall live, My grief thou pitiest, and my sin Thou wilt forgive! Oh Faith, lift up my drooping love ? Tell of the promised home, The union, earth’s chill clouds above, Where parting cannot come ! In hope I kneel, for strenght I pray, And peace is surely won, As from my bleeding heart I say, Thy will be done ! Mohammedan Devotions* Fountains are common in Mohammedan towns; and, besides the ordinary use of as suaging the thirst of the passers by, they, with an adjoining platform, and with an erect stone to indicate the way the worshipper should turn his face, constitute so many oratories for the use of those whom the call to prayer surprises at a distance from the mosque, or who prefer to perform their devotions in the open air. It is obligatory on all Mohammedans to pray five times a day ; but it is only on Friday that they are expected to attend at the mosque for the purpose ; and in general when a Mos lem hears the call to prayers, or knows that the hour is arrived, he will perform his devotions at any convenient place near that where he happens to be at the time, after he has executed the required ablutions. These consist in wash ing the hands three times successively, as well as the lace, the arms, the head, the neck, and the feet; and also the inside of the mouth, of the ears and of the nostrils. It is for the purpose of these ablutions that fountains are so abun dantly provided. In places where no water is to be had, the ablution may be made with earth or sand. This practice is followed by persons travelling in the deserts; and with regard to persons at sea, who have no such substitutes, and cannot afford fresh water, they effect their ablutions by rubbing themselves with their hands alone, after having placed them on a stone. Seawater is considered impure, and entirely unfit for the purposes of ablution.— These washings are generally performed in a very slight way. In consequence of its being necessary to wash the arm up to the elbow, the Moslems have the sleeves of their dress with buttons from the elbow to the wrist. The Turks and Arabs generally wear their sleeves unbuttoned, io save the trouble of frequent un buttoning again; but the Persians, who are much less observant of what their religion in this respect requires, are seldom seen but with their sleeves buttoned up. Indeed, every thing that their forms of worship demand, in regard Bf to prayers and ablutions, are seldom performed by any Moslem except those of the higher and middle classes; and in all cases, the morning, noon, and evening periods of prayer are the most attended to, while the intermediate ones are comparatively neglected. Although Christians are not generally al lowed to enter the mosques, the ceremonies of prayer are so often performed in the streets and open places of towns, that the most unob servant stranger soon becomes thoroughly ac quainted with all the proceedings. There are no bells in Mohammedan coun tries; but, at the appointed hours, an officer of the mosque, called the Muezzin, mounts upon the minarets and calls the faithful to prayers, or rather notifies that the proper time has arrived. For this office, the persons endowed with the most sonorous voices are chosen in preference, and the distance at which they can be heard is such as to become a subject of surprise to Eu ropeans. This notice is not delivered from every mosque, but only from such as are suffi cient to afford an equal distribution of the sound over the city. The call consists of a declaration of the Mohammedan profession of faith: —“There is no other God but God, and Mohammed is the Prophet of God!” with many repetitions; then follows the invitations to prayers, to which, i n the morning, is added the assurance that “Prayer is better than sleep;” and the whole concludes with a declaration that God is most great, and most high, and that there is no other God but him. When the call is heard, the devout who hap pen to be abroad, hasten to the fountains and the. streams to perforin their ablutions; when this is done, if there are many present, one of the number assumes the office of imauin, or leader, and, placing himself before them, with bis face towards Mecca, the rest follow him in his words and postures. Every canonical prayer is composed es an invocation of different ricauts, and of the salu- i tation. A ricaul consists of a series of seven positions of the body, with each of which a par ticular prayer or declaration is connected.— The worshipper stands for a short time erect, as if endeavoring to fix his attention on the du ties he is about to perform, with both the hands raised to the ears, and then repeats the declara- I tion, “God is most great!” He then lets his i arms and hands hang down, in one sect, or crosses them on his breast, in another, and in this posture repeats the first chapter of the “Koran.” It is short, commencing with praise I and ending in prayer for guidance in the right way. The whole upper part of the body is then bent forward, with their handsresting upon the knees, and they say, with a loud voice, “God is most great!” Then rising to their former position, they say “God listens when praise is given to him.” And then they prostrate them selves, with their knees, hands and faces on the ground; and, in this humblest of posture, de clare again that “God is great!” This decla ration is repeated in all the remaining positions; which are—sitting down with their legs under them, so that the weight of the body rests upon the heels, which is a common sedentary pos ture among the Persians —they then prostrate themselves as before, and finally raise them selves upon their feel if possible, without touch ing the ground with their hands as they rise. This is the first ricaut, and the second is like it, except that, instead of raising themselves upon their feet from the last prostration, they set themselves upon their heels, and in this po sition they invoke blessings upon the Prophet, upon themselves, and upon all the faithful. If the prayer is intended to conclude in this ri caut, a longer address than any which preceded is adaed. It commences with a declaration of faith, and concludes with the invocation of bles sings. After this, the worshipper, still sitting, turns his face first towards the right, and then towards the left, repeating each time, “Peace be with you.” These two ricauts constitute a complete prayer; and no new words or pos tures are introduced into the additional ricauts, which are required on particular occasions, or which the zealously devout sometimes volun tarily undertake. The arrangement, however, is somewhat varied. When the canonical prayers are completed, WOrsllippei*, a person of leisure a,nd devo tion, does not immediately rise and go away, but remains to count his beads. The rosary consists of ninety beads, and a distinct ejacula tion is appropriated to each as it passes be tween the fingers. Each ejaculation generally consists of two words, and declares a name or attribute of God. Almost all Moslems in the upper and middle ranks of life carry in their pockets or bosoms a string of beads for this pur pose, which they use not only on the occasions we are describing, but while sitting and smo king their pipes, walking in the streets, or even while engaged in conversation. The ejacula tion connected with each bead is more general ly understood than expressed. When a Moslem has gone over his beads at the regular time of prayer, he folds his hands, and then holding them up, open, as if to receive something from above, he prays for such bless ings as he desires for himselfor his household. When this is concluded, he strokes his beard withhis righthand audsays, “Praise be to God!” This concludes the whole. Moslems, when they pray in the open air, are careful to select the cleanest spot they can find: on this they spread a mat or carpet, on which they stand without their shoes. If they are not provided with these conveniences, they employ their cloaks for the same purpose; and wheth er thus used or not, they generally lay aside their outermost robe whlile they are engaged in their devotions. It is customary to lay down some relic or other, in such a manner that the forehead may rest upon it in the prostrations. It is remarkable that the comb which is employ ed to dress the be ird is most frequently used for this purpose, probably on account of the im portant and almost sacred office to which it is applied. Moslems, particularly Arabs, have the utmost respect for their beards. They care fully inter the hairs which comb off in the combing, and Ali Bey relates that he could not, in all Mecca, procure a hair with which to mend his hygrometer. In general, the mosque is only attended on ordinary days by the persons whose residence or occupation is in the immediate neighbor hood; but as an attendance on Friday is posi tively enjoined, the mosques are then well fre quented. The Imaun sometimes delivers a sermon to the people, but his proper office is that of leader in their devotions, his functions in some degree approximating to those of our readers or clerks. The ministrations are not at all indispensable, since any man may, and does, occasionally assume the character, and perform its functions. In small villages, which have no proper Imaun, the duties of the ofiice are regularly performed by the schoolmaster, if there be any. The Mohammedans can hard ly be said to have a clergy. The Imaun is es sentially a layman, depending upon some worldly calling for his principal support: for he seldom receives more than from ten to fif teen pounds a year, and often much less, from an appointment for which he is usually indebted to the good opinion which his neighbors enter tain of his character and talents. The devotions aa performed in the mosque only differ from those in the open air, in being led by the regular officer, in being under cover, and in the greater number of persons assem bled. and performing together their simulta neous prostration. The stranger us he looks in on passing the open gates of the mosques, will hardly be prevented by difference of opin ion from the worshippers, from feeling it both solemn and interesting, to hear the declaration of the greatness of the Deity simultaneously is sue from a great multitude prostrate before Him, in an attitude the most expressive of hu miliation and self-abasement.

Cheap Shower Batli—Who would do without one 7 Among the various improvements of the age we notice one, in the shape of a shower bath, invented by a student of Tale Colege, which surpasses ail others both in the cheapness and efficiency. It is very simple and very easily made by any one of common tact at tinkering. It consists in a common wooden pail, with its bottom thoroughly perforated. Then a new second bottom is putin about £ or inch above the perforated one, which has in it a hole as large as a dollar, to be covered with a com mon bellows-valve, i. e. one made of a piece of thin board about or 2 inches sq aare with the under side covered with sheep-skin. A string from this valve to a lever fastened on the brim of the pail raises the valve when pulled. The whole is then suspended by cords and pulleys. A curtain made of common cotton cloth is then fastened up to the wall in such away as to allow the apparatus to rise and fall freely. The cloth may be sewed to a common barrel hoop, in gress and egress being where the edges meet. This last is necessary both for concealment and to keep the water from spattering oft’ on other articles. The other and only' other thing is a tub, (one half of a barrel if you like,) in which the operator stands and the lower end of the curtain terminates. Thus the water that gets on the curtain is carried directly into the tub.— The expense will of course vary with the taste and fancy of individuals, but I have learned frofi some of my acquaintances in college who have them, that it is only $1 50 for the whole. They declare it superior in some respects to the patent ones. It requires no more room than for the tub to stand on, and if put up sung in your sleeping apartment, so far from being a troublesome appendage, is very con venient and salutary in its effects. I made one for myself in a few hours, and would not part with it for any money. Before retiring to bed I lower the pail, fill it with water, and raise it to its place, where it stands till I pull the string. I need not tell yon of the exhilerating or invi gorating effects of this practice, for that has been told you before. Every farmer, mechan ic, or man of whatever calling ought to have and use one of these same things, so cheap and convenient for all. I take a bath uniformly every niorning throughout the year, and (what it was not true before) I am neither troubled with colds or cold feet since I began the practice, h Such is.my experience, and yours will be the same if you will try it. Numbness, paralysis, j< rheumatic pains and colds, all yield to this treat- r ment. * E A lover of health and cleanliness. E. B. W. t Diameter of thk Stars. —Great diversity * of opinion now exists among astronomers as to the diameter of the stars. If, says M. Arago, we should take for their discs such as they ap pear to the naked eye, certain stars would be 9,000,000 leagues in diameter —equal to 27,000 times greater diameter than the sun: and the most moderate calculation would be 1700 mil- j lions. Herschefs last calculation was that Arc- % turus had a diameter of nearly four millions of leagues —twelve millions of miles if the appa- ( rent diameter of two seconds and a half, assign ed by Herschel to the Goat, w r as real, the mass of that star must be more than fourteen mil lions times greater than that of our sun. — But there is no certainty in this, nor anything < to question that our sun is a star. The sub- < lime idea in the Holy Scriptures that the Cre ator had made ail with number, weight aad measure, is followed by Plato, who called it the geometry of the heavens. Halley, the friend of Newton, believed that all stars were of the same magnitude—that of our sun ; and that difference of distance only caused the apparent difference of size. The number of stars visi ble by means of a telescope of twenty feet focal distance may be more than five hundred millions. It is affirmed by M. Arage that there are certainly stars in the firmament whose dis tance from the earth is 344 and even 900 times greater than that of the stars visible to the na ked eye. See what a conclusion this leads us to! It : s admitted that light, with the velocity 0f77,000 leagues a second, takes three years to reach us from the nearest star. And there are stars 344, and even 900 times more remote! Then there are stars whoso light does not reach us until after two thousand seven hundred years—an infinity in distance as it is in num bers. French and English Actors. Garrick. Os Garrick, all have heard ; but none of the present generation have seen him, and it is the more advanced inyearsonly who have received accounts of his extraordinary talents from eye witnesses. They were undoubtedly, however, of the very highest description. The estima tion in which he was held by the greatest men of his own, not the least of any age, sufficiently proves this. The companion of Johnso u and Burke, of Goldsmith and Reynolds, of Fox and Gibbon, must have been no common man, in dependent altogether of his theatrical abilities. Like all persons of the highest class of intellect, his talents were notconfined to his own profes sion; they shone out in every department of thought. He was as great at the supper of the literary club, when in presence of the elo quence ofßurke, or the gladiatorial powers of Johnson, as when he entranced the audience of Convent Garden or Drury Lane. Those who enjoyed hisfriendship, spoke in the highest terms of his conversational power, as well as the va ried objects of information which exercised his thoughts, and the simple and amiable term of his mind. As an actor, the most remarkable quality was his versatility. He had few advantages from nature; his figure, thought far from dimi nutive, was neither tall nor commanding; his countenance was far from being cast in the antique mould; his voice neither remarkably sonorous nor powerful; but all these deficien cies were supplied, and more than supplied, by the energy of his mind, and the incompara ble powers of observation which he possessed. There never was such delineation, at once of the tragic and comic passions. He united the eye of Hogarth for the ludicrous, and that of Salvator for the terrible ; that of Caracci for the pathetic, and that of Velasquez for the digni fied. It was this close observation of nature which constituted his great power, and enabled him to wield at will, and with surpassing power, the magic wand which swayed the feelings of his audience, alternately rousing them to the highest exaltation of tragic, and the utmost strength of the comic ]iassion. This peculiar power, however, had its disad vantages; it made him fond of stage effect, and condescend to trick. He performed Lear on crutches . to add to the effect of the great scene, when he threw them away. It is difficult to conceive how such a combination can exist in the same individual; and certainly expe rience affords very few instances of a similar union. But the examples of Shakespeare and Sir Walter Scott prove that such a blending of apparently heterogeneous qualities may be found in the most highly gifted dramatic poets. Napoleon’s celebrated saying, “ from the sub lime to the ridiculous is but a step,” may possi bly afford, in a certain degree, a key to the mystery. And the peculiarity was probably founded, in both, on the same accurate eye for the working of the human heart, and power of graphic delineation, which, alike in the poet and the performer, is the foundation of dramat ic excellence. A most competent «y»-wlt..luta loft; the following graphic picture oflhe wonderful pow of imitating the expression of human passion, which Garrick possessed. In the chapter in which Fielding describes the behaviour of Par tridge at the theatre, he says. “ Partridge, upon seeing the ghost in Hamlet, gave the credit to Mr. Garrick which he had denied to Jones, and fell into so violent a fit of i trembling, that his knees knocked together Jones asked him what was the matter, and whether he was afraid of the warrior upon the stage. “ Oh, sir,” he exclaimed, “ I perceive now it is what yon told me. lam not afraid of any thing, for I know it is hut a play ; and even if it was really a ghost, it could do no harm a >. such a distance and in so much company ; and yet if I was frightened, I am not the only per son, ” “Why who,”cried Jones, “dost thou take to be such a coward here besides thyself?” “ Nay, you may call me a coward ifyou will ; but if that little man on the stage there is not frightened I never saw any man frightened in my life.” He sat with his oyes partly fixed on the ghost, and partly on Hamlet, and with his mouth open, The same passions which succeeded each other in Hamlet succeeded each other also in him. At the end of the play. Jones asked him which of the players he liked best. To this he answered, with some appearance of indigna tion at the question — “The king, without doubt.” “ Indeed. Mr. Partridge ” says Mr. Miller, you are not of the same opinion as the rest of the town, for they are all agreed that Hamlet is acted by the best player who ever was on the stage.” “ Fie the best player,” cries Partridge, with a contemptuous sneer, “Why, I could act as well as he myself. lam sure, if I had been a ghost, I should have looked in the very same j manner, and done just as he did. And then to be sure, in that scene, as you call, it between him and Ins mother, where you told me he act ed so fine, why any man—that is, any good i man —that had such a mother, would have done j exactly the same. I know you are only joking with me ; but although, madam,! never was at the play in London, yet I have seen acting before in the country, and the king for my mo ney. He spoke all his words distinctly, and half as loud again as the other. Any body may see he is an actor.” It is impossible to imagine a finer compli ment to the superlative skill of the actor which 1 personated nature so exactly, that it was mista ken by the countryman for it. A Lesson for Scolding Wives.— “ And I dare saf you have scolded your wife very often, Newman,” said I, once. Old Newman looked down, and his wife took ( up the reply— “ Never to signify —and if he has, I deserve t.” t , “ And I dare say, if the truth were told, you v lave scolded him quite as often.” j “ Nay,” said the old woman, with a beauty of m kindness which all the poetry in the world can not excel —“ How can a wife scold her good man, who has been working for her and her little ones all the day ? It may do for a man to be peevish, for it is he who bears the crossness of the world ; but who should make him forget them but his own wife? And she had best, for her own sake—for nobody can scold much when the scolding is all on one side — Bulicer. The Bird Family. The Portland Tribune, w hich has a good ear , for melody, speaks as follows of a certain musi cal family, who perhaps are not so much honor ed by the critical as they ought to be : Os all the nests of singers—the Rainers, the Hutchinsons, the Bakers, and a score of other “families”—give ns. by all odds, the “Bird Family.” To hear them in their perfection one must be astir betimes, for their morning carol is by far the sweetest, although their ves per hymn conies next to it. They commence at a very early hour, heralding the sun with their choicest notes, and vicing with each other “To congratulate the sweet return of morn.” At about half past three, if you are listening, you will hear the choir preparing—clearing their throats for the opening chorus. At first a faint twitter will come from this and that tree, followed now and then by a short strain of deli cious melody, just as you will hear in a choir of girls overflowing with music, a brilliant pas sage, gushing from the lips of this and that one, involuntarily as it were. After trying their voices for awhile, the prelude commences, run ning from tree to tree; then follows the grand chorus, swelling from the faintest dim to the fullest crcs, each songster striving to outdo the other, and every note blending in perfect ac cord, until “ Every copse Deep tangled, tree irregular, and bush Bending with dewy moisture o’er the heads Os the coy choristers that lodge within, Are prodigal of harmony.” Every now and then, too, you will hear the loud-voiced chanticleer introducing a crow matin passage with surprising effect. So the athem rolls on, now in a charming recitative, now in a sweet bewitching solo, now in a most intricate fnge, and anon in a full chorus, so bril liant in every part that Handel himself might sigh with envy. Thus it continues, until “ The dapple-gray coursers of the morn Beat up the light with their bright silver hoofs, And chase it through the sky.” The sun fairly started on his diurnal track, the carol gradually dies away ; and, by the time the drowsy citizen begins to rub his waking eyes, the glorious song is at an end, and the “Bird Family,” one and all, are busily employ ed in getting their breakfast BOOKS !
