Why call you mine an angry brow ?
I’m sure it don’t deserve that name .
Whatever deep regret I show,
It ne’er partakes of anger’s flame.
For who could ever entertain
The slightest angry thought of thee, ?
So good, so gentle, and urbane,
Thou e’en couldst soothe ferocity.
Oh no ! if anger e'er had shed
Its scorching fires upon my hc'rt,
My bitter griefs had quickly fled,
And it had bid nn woes depart.
Bullet that pass; perhaps I erred,
When passion’s lowly slave become,
To it most blindly I referred,
Of happiness, the source and sum.
My fancy then would take wild flights,
Forgetting what she shoul! have known,
Fourtraying for herself delights
That sober truth could never own.
Whilst I so far had gone astray
From common sense's plain behests,
y wonder not that you shoal' say,
I was a subject meet for jests
And soon as Pass on’s blaze sunk down,
A.,d gloomy darkness wrapped my soul;
What anguish hung upon thy frown !
And brought despair beyond control.
Well it’* over now ! th' illusion s past !
’Twill not again my sp : rit vex !
Tet I may hold thee, to the last,
As loveliest, best of all thy sex.
This is the ca m result of thought,
Without a jot >f feeling mixed ;
Nor shall it ever be forgot,
But in m> breast remain infixed
And if my error* tbou’lt forgive,
I yet may h >pe to smile again ;
And many h ppy days may live,
In striving thy esteem t’ obtain.

TO TIIE LARK.
Sky-bird ! tha‘ from thy dewy seat
■Soar’s* high, the orient sun to greet,
On gladsome wing,
Pouring thy carols w-idly sweet—
Upmount and sing.
^Not oft, blithe bird ! I view thee rise,
. Warbling delighted in the skies,
At dawn of dav—
Oh, soar and sing before mine eyes 1
Heaven wants thy lay.
Not oft I tread the dewy fields
When Morn her fragrant incense yields,
And b'-eathes delight;
While the vounsr sun the herbage gilds,
All diamond bright.
Ah ! kindling thoughts so banish sleep
From mine, when midnight slumbers steep
The careless breast,
That but in morning’s wateh I reap
The boon of rest.
And Nature’s moonlit page to me
Dearer than morn’s is wont to be—
More calmly fair;
And thus 1 lose the matin glee
Of earth and air.
Yet sometimes w th the early sun
I rise, and see his race begun ;
And then mine ear
.Hails everv song—but thine, the one,
Sweet lark ! most.dear.
Yes. minstrel bird ! to thee belong
The wild sublimities of song ;
Arsd, oh ! mine eves
And ears pursue thy flight among
The beaming skies.

MARRIAGE.
I have often remarked the eagerness of
all classes of people to read or hear the
accounts of marriages. ‘So! John has
taken to himself a wife,’ cries Sue. ‘Ah,
there has been a wedding,’ cries another.
4 Lack a day, ‘exclaims an old lady. ‘ So,
Betty has got a husband at last;’ and
each is anxious to know all the particulars
—who marrried them—who was there—
how the Bride was dressed, and so on.—
On such occasions, I have particularly
noticed that the men seem to sympathize
chieflly with the bridegroom, from the
canse probably that each has been or ex
pect to be, in the same delicate and inter
esting situation with the persons for whom
their sympathies are excited. The reason is
not difficult to explain. There is no cir
cumstance in life half so interesting as that
of entering into the holy bond of wedlock.
A choice is made of a companion for life,
for good or evil, for prosperity or adver
sity, for weal or wo, or. in the good old j
set terms of the ceremonial, ‘ for better or
for worse.* Then, too, the new clothes,
the solemn ceremony, the wedding ban
quet, and the nameless delights apper
taining thereto, render this period of life
far more interesting than any other.—
Looding forward, too, through the kalei
doscope of Hope, it presents to the young
imagination an infinite variety of splendid
and beautiful imagery which charms like il
lusions ol the Persian Genii n the Faity
Tales. The young man hopes his turn
may come, and I dare not sketch the pic
ture his fancy draws. The girl from bud
ding fifteen through blushing twenty up to
ripened womanhood, feels, as she hears
the account of a wedding, a soft thrill, vi
brating like the treble chord of a piano,
through every nerve of her susceptible
frame. Her bosom throbs quicker, she
breathes with a hurried respiration, yet
not painfully ; no image that she need
blush for, ever casts its passing form across
her pure mind,yet she blushes; her eye
brightens ; her lips assume a deeper stain
of the strawberry ; she laughs and won
ders what ails her, or how is she interest
ed ?—The old married people are differ
ently affected, and yet they are affected.—
Memory is busily employed brushing a-
wav tho cob webs of time (and that Time
is a very industrious spider) from the pic
ture of their connubial bliss, the husband
cbuchs his deary under the chin, and, in
stead of addressing himself to her as
‘Mrs. Manltey,’ or whatever het name be,
calls her virgin name—‘My dear Lucy
Howard,’ and she answers with a modest
caress, which speaks most eloquently of
the days gone by. Meanwhile, the old
Bachelor and old Maid forget the chair
is not big enough for them. The old cod
ger, whom no one pities but every one in
turn laughs at as a ‘ fusty old bachelor,’
very probably recals to recollection one
who, in tho days of youth, reciprocated
with him the tenderest feelings of affec
tion ; one who listened to tiie music of his
voice with delight; who watched his com
ing with anxious eye ; whose ready ear
distinguished the sound of his footsteps
from among an hundred ; who loved—
promised—withered before the nuptial
hour gave him the right to pillow her
throbbing head in his bosom, and died.—
Or the lone virgin, designated by the un
feeling world as ‘an old Maid,’ may mourn,
in the depth of suppressed grief, a ruddy
youth, of manly brow and gallant bearing,
whom the caverns of the ocean have en
tombed, or who, dead to his plighted faith,
may have sought in the arms of wealth
for that happiness which true love alone
can impart. All, all are interested.
But the world ! what does it care? those
who are intent on gain, who worship gold
as their God, and have no sympathies un
connected with lucre ! Verily, they, too,
are interested in marriages. Sitting in
my easy chair, these thoughts were pas
sing on my mind when I dozed, and dream
ed a feast was getting up, and a large
number, it was thought; would attend.—
Hymen entered, lighted up his torch, a
crowd pressed to the door, but no one
was admitted until some satisfactory rea
son was assigned how the person came in
Hymen’s company.—* No one will doubt,’
said the minister, ‘ mv right here ; for who
could have performed the ceremony were
I absent ? and seated himself in a large
and easy chair. ‘ My worship,’ said a
justice of the peace, ‘ could tie the knot
a.- tight as your reverence.’ A merchant
followed, with bills of rich silks and overy
variety of elegant patterns for wedding
dresses—the mantua-roaker and tailor
close npon his heels. They must certain
ly have bureaus, and probably a cradle.
‘ And chairs and settee,’ said the chair
maker. At that instant a doctor appeared :
Hvmon declared lie could not conceive
how a disciple of Esculapius could be con
sidered as belonging to his train. ‘It is a
source of my most profitable employment,’
gravely answered the Dr. ‘ Then I have
a right too,’ exclaimed a nurse rushing
forward, her left arm bearing a piece of
diaper. A shout was now raised by the
shoemaker, the poulterer, the victualler,
the schoolmaster, aud the Lord knows
who. Among the rest, a printer popped his
nose in at the door, allured by the delight
ful savory smell of the terrapin and oyster
soup—‘it is part of my busines to publish
the marriages,’ said he. ‘Let them in—
let them iu,’ said Hymen, * for it is impos
sible to tell who is not interested, direct
ly or indirectly. Bid them all welcome
to the feast and I awoke.
On full consideration, I see that there
is abundant reason for the interest every
body takes in a wedding, and I hear it
whispered by those who understand the
signs of the times, that there will be more
weddings the present year and the year to
come, than there have been lor many years
past.
onnoisance of the contemplated branch of
the great National Road from Zanesville
in Ohio, to the beforementioned point.
We underatand that Gen. Bernard, the
principal Engineer, who is now in Florida
will make a reconnoisance of that part of
the line between New Orleans and Flor-
eoce, some time in the course of the pre
sent summer. From Lieut. Trimble we
learu the examinations which have been
made over the line of this Road are of
the most satisfactory kind, both as it re
gards the practicability &. the cheapness of
its construction ; and that it will bo re
ported to the Government as a project
which combines great national as well as
commercial advantages to the Union, and
particularly to that portion of it which lies
to the west of the Alleghany Mountains.
It will then remain with the Congress ol
the United States, to whose patriotism and
generosity the people of the West confi
dently appeal, to grant the means out of
the public Treasury to construct this great
national highway.
The object of constructing this road be
ing so purely and entirely national in its
character, and one which is also designed
to equally accommodate both of the great
political parties into which our country is
at present divided, we cannot entertain
the belief that it will be opposed by any
member of Congress from the States of
Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi, or Louisiana, (States through
which this great leading commercial arte
ry would pass,) because it has originated
under the Administration of Mr. Adams.
An opposition based upon such grounds ts
too contracted, too personal, and too sel
fish, to be attributed to any gentleman
representing any portion of the country
lying in the Valley of the Mississippi, and
especially from those who go from either
of the States which this splendid national
project is intended to pass. We therefore
confidently hope, that when it shall be laid
before Congress, at its next session, that
it will meet with the unanimous support of
the representation from the West, as well
as from those representing other sections
of the Union, who are friendly to Interanl
Improvements.
nota, lie gives the following pretty inci
dent, iu explanation of the name :
“ Two lovers were loitering along me
margin of a lake, on a fine summer eve
ning when the maiden discovered some
flowers of the Myosotis growing on tho
water, close to the bank of an island, at
some distance from the shore. She ex
pressed a desire to possess them, when
her night in the true spirit of chivalry,
plunged into the water,and swimming to
the spot, cropped the wished lor plant;
but his strength was unable to fulfil the
object of his achieqment; and feeling that
he could not regain the shore, although
verv near it, he threw the flowers upon
the hank, and, casting a last affectionate
look upon his lady-love, he said, “ forget
me not,” and was buried in the water.”
CRE .1T SOUTH- WESTERN ROAD.
Chilicothe, Ohio, July 5th.
Lieutenant Trimble, of the corns of
Engineers, reached this place on Thurs
day the 28th ult., on his return from Flo
rence, at the foot of the Muscle Shoals,
in the State of Alabama; having, in com
pany with Coj* Long* completed tho rec-
A general officer in the American war
one. eveuing at the Cocoa-tree was de
scribing to the company the phenomena-
of certain hot and cold springs which he
said he frequently found quite close to
each other, during his campaign in the
vestern territory. Just as Selwyn en
tered the room, he was saying that fish
of various sorts abounded in the latter,
and all that those in the army, who were
fond of fish, had to do after the fatigues of
a day’s march v in order to provide a din
ner, was to angle for a few moments with
a string and hook in the cold spring, and
as soon as the bait took, to pull out the
fish and pop it in the hot one, where it
was boiled in the twinkling of an eye !
This marvellous account operated differ
ently on the several gentlemen present;
some were incredulous ; others amazed ;
whilst all agreed that it was exceedingly
curious. “ There is nothing at all sur
prising in the General’s narrative, gen
tlemen,” said Selwyin : “and indeed, I
myself can vouch for the truth of it; for
when I was in France I was witness to
similar phenomena. In Auvergne, there
are springs similar to those in America ;
but with this remarkable addition, that
there is generallv a third, containing hot
parsley and butter. Accordingly, the pea
sants and others who go a fishing, usually
carry with'them large wooden bowls or
ladles so that after the fish have been
cooked according to the General’s receipt
they have a most delicious sauce prepa
red for it at the same moment. You
seem to doubt my varacity, gentlemen ;
therefore I only beg that those who are
incredulous may set out for France, as
soon as theyplease, and see the thing with
their own eyes.”—“But, Mr. Selwyn,”
said the General, “ consider the improba
bility of parsley and butter.”—“ I beg
your pardon, my good Sir,” interrupted
George, “ I gave you full credit for your
story, and you are surely too polite not to
believe mine.”
THE ACQUES SNAKES.
On returning home through a large cho
colate plantation, the slaves pointed out
to us a snake coiled up, and apparently
asleep, I told the Doctor I should like
to have a shot at him, which I did with
my left barrel, iu which I had swan shot
and only wounded him in his tail. The
moment I fired, he sprang up, and looked
round and espied us ; on which he came
directly towards us, sweeping along, bis
head erect and about three leet from the
ground. We all now began to be alarm
ed ; and the Doctor ordered us to retire
tire a few yards behind a laige tree, while
,he advanced to give him the contents of
two more barrels, which movement was
immediately executed, and when the
snake was distant about ten yards, the
Doctor and myself fired, and cut him
nearly in two, each barrel being loaded
with seven or eight small slugs. We
then shouted victoiy, and Mr, Cade, and
the rest of our party who had retreated,
being unarmed, came up to us. We ex
amined our fallen enemy, aud it proved
to be a snake called the acques, from hav
ing a black cross, like an X, all along its
back. This snake is considered by theCre-
oles one of the boldest &. most venomous
in South America, He measured aboutsix
feet and a half in length, and was as thick
as my wrist. Had I been aware that this
had been so bold and venomous a snake, I
certainiy should not have disturbed his
siesta. The Doctor stated that several
persons in the province had lost their lives
from the bite of the acques ; and that he
had seen them considerably larger.

BURSTING A HOGSHEAD,
It is justly affirmed by some writers on
natural philosophy, that a certain quality
of water, however small, may bo render
ed capable ol exerting a iorce equal to
any assignable one, by increasing the
height of the column and diminishing the
base, on which it presses. Dr. Goldsmith
observes, that he has seen a strong hogs
head split in this manner. A small hot
strong tube of tin, twenty feet hign, was
inserted in the bung-hole of the hogshead,
water was then poured into the tube till
the hogshead was filled, and the water
had reached within a foot of the top of the
tin tube. By the pressure of this column
of water, the hogs head burst with incre
dible force, and the water was scattered
in every direction.

TURPIN & D’ANTIGNAC,
AGENTS.
Have just received a fresh supply of the celebrated
Swaim’s Panacea.
For the cure of Scrofula, or King’s Evil, Ulcers,
Rheumatism, Syphilitic, Mercurial and Livei
Complaints, and most Diseases arising in de
bilitated constitutions, or froman impure state
of the Blood, &c. Sic.
T HIS Medicine has acquired a very extend
ed and established celebrity both in Hos
pital and Private practice, which its efficacy alone
has supported for these seven years past.
As a spring or fall purifier it has given new
constitutions to thousands, it is by its operation
on the Blood that such surprising cures have been
performed in numerous diseases.
The effect of this medicine is such as not to in
terrupt either business orjpleasure, and requires
only the common restraint of moderation in diet.
It is conveyed by the circulating fluids, and cor
rects their tendencies to all those diseases which
originate in vitiated blood, diseased liver, or de
praved appetite. It is a safe medicine, and re
moves all those evils which an unsuccessful use
of mercury so often occasions. No one, how
ever is advised to take it without first fully con
vincing himself of the truth of what is here stated
and the rectitude of the Proprietor’s intentions.
Thi3 Medicine has the singular fortune, a just
tribute to its great merit, of being recommended
by the most celebrated Practitioners of Medicine
in the Uhited States and elsewhere, whereas not
one of the spurious mixtures made in imitation
of it, is supported by the Faculty. This fact of
fers an argument so plain and conclusive, that it
needs only to be mentioned to enforce convio
tion.
From Dr. Wm. Price, formerly Surgeon of the
Pennsylvania Hospital, he.
Liverpool, (eng.) Sept. 1823.
The Vegetable Syrup, called Swaim’s Pana
cea, prepared by Mr. Swaim, of Philadelphia,
has recently been introduced here by Dr. Price,
from the United States of America, where it is
now extensively used in the treatment of a varie
ty of Chronic Diseases.
Of the efficacy of this preparation Dr-Price
has had abundant and most satisfactory evidence,
during a course of experiments made under his
direction, whilst Surgeon of the Pennsylvania
Hospital; and since his arrival in England, be
has had the good fortune of witnessing man v ad
ditional instances of its successful administration.
The diseases in which this Medicine has bee.
paiticularly useful, are those arising from con
stitutional causes—as in the various forms of
Scrofula, whether affecting the bones, joints, or
soft parts ; and in cases, where a disposition to
this disease is manifested by debility only, it
operates as a preventive tothe local disease by
its beneficial efiects on the constitution. It is
equally efficacious in mercurial disease, and in
the secondary forms of Sypilis, and has lately
been gi^en with marked success in chronic dis
eases of the Liver, which had resisted the careful
exhibition of mercury: It has, likewise, very re
cently been administered with decided advant
age by one of the most distinguished Surgeons in
London, in a case which had entirely destroyed
the right eye of the patient, and a great portion
of the side of the face. WM. PRICE, M. D.

TO THE PUBLIC.

H AVING seen a notice in the “ Savannah
^Georgian,” (which is probably intended
for publication in other public Gazettes of the
State,) purporting to he from the “ Board of
Commissioners of the Brunswick Canal Compa
ny,” and signed by Eleazer Early, Secretary,
stating that books of subset iption will be opened
in various towns in this state, therein mentioned,
on the 1st of September next, for the purpose of
receiving subscriptions for stock, upon the ves-
ted rights and privileges granted by the last ses
sion of the Legislature, to myself and nine others
nominally named in the charter:—this is to give
notice that the undersigned is the sole bona-fit
proprietor of the said vested rights and privileges,
and that there is n >w, no such “ Board” law fully
authorised to act, nor to pu» the said rights, ic
into market, without my consent.
Four of the most responsible men incorpora
ted with me, who w ith myself represent five tenths
of the charter in the present stage of the busi
ness, have resigned the control of the disposal o.
those rights, he. for the purpose contemplated
by the act, to me—which together with my be-
ing the sole proprietor, having borne all the ex
pense of the survey, after being enticed to Glynn
county, with the Engineer in April 1826, hy let
ters of treachery, promising assistance and then
leaving me to stand alone, in that, and all other
expenses, labour, invention, he- relative thereto,
gives the undersigned the lawful right as Agent
for “ establishing the Brunsw ick Canal Com
pany.”
Notice is therefore, hereby given, that all who
may subscribe for shares in the'above mentioned
stock, in consequence of the said DOtice signed by
Eleazer Early. Secretary, will be considered and
held as assenting by contract to the payment of
my account, amounting t‘> $2100 for the cost of
those vested rights and privileges, out of the first
instalment; as the object of the aforesaid purpor
ting Board, composed of a refractory minority
and the ungrateful part of the Commissioners,
under the intrigue of the aforesaid Eleazer Early,
is to swindle the undersigned out of tho^e vested
rights and prieileges for which they have never
spent a dollar, merely because I unfortunately in
troduced the namesofCol. Jno. Burnett iiDaniel
Blue, into the bill for the charter, the better to
ensure its passage through both houses of the
Legislature. W. B. DAVIS,
Agent and proprietor for the
Brunswick Canal Company-
H V* Editors who may publish the notice signed
by Eleazer Early, Secretary of the said pretend
ed “ Board of Commissioners of the Brunswick
Canal Company” are requested to insert the a-
bove notice also, and forward their accounts to
me for payment, W. B. DAVIS.
