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

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
