. -«'*“***;: ’y FROM THE CONNF.CTiCtTT PATRIOT. THE SOLDIER’S FUNERAL BY MISS RANDOM. And the muffled drum rolled on the air; Warriors with stately step were there : On ovory arm was Muck crape bound, Every carbine was turned to the ground ; Solemn the sound of their measured tread, As silent and slow they followed the dead. The rideles horse was led in the rear, There were white plumes waving o’er the bier, Helmet and sword were laid on the pall, For it was a soldier’s funeral The soldier had stood on the battle plain, Where every step was over the slain, Bet the brand and ball had passed him lyy, And he came to his native land to die. •’Twas hard ro conic to that native land, And not clasp some farmiliar hand! ’Twns hard to be numbered umid the dead, Ere he could hear his welcome said! But ’twas something to see its cliffs once more, And to lay his bones on his own loved shore; To think that the friends of his youth might weep ,0’er the greCn grass turf of the rvldier’s sleep. The bugle ceased the willing sound As the coffin was lowered into the ground; A volley was fired, a blessing said— One moment’s pause—aud they left the dead ! I saw a poor and aged man, His steps were feeble, his lip was Wunl He knelt him down on the new raised mound, His face was bowed on the cold damp ground, He raised his head, his tears were done— The father bad prayed o’er his only son. THE DISTANT SHIP. BV FELICIA HEMANS. ^he sea bird’s wing o’er ocean’s breast, Shoots like a glancing star, While the red radiance ot the west, Spreads,kindling fast and far; And yet that splendei wins tliee hot— Ttiy still and thoughtful eye Dwells but on one da k, and distant spot, Of ail the main and sky. Look round thee !—o’er the slumbering deep A solemn glory broods ; Afire bus touched the beacon steep, Aud all the golden woods; _A thousand geurgeous clouds on high Burn with the amber light. What spell trom the rich pageantry, Chains down the gazing sight? A chastening thought of human cares, A feeling linked to earth ! Is not yon speck a bark, which bears The loved of many a hearth? O! do not hope and grief and fear, Crowd her frail world even now, And manhood’s prayer, and woman’s tear Fellow her venturous prow ? Bright are the floating clouds above, The glittering seas btdow; But we are bound by cords of love, To kindred, weal and vo ! Therefore, amidst this wi le array, Of glorious things and fair, My soul is on the bark's lone way, For human hearts are there. Thc Pulse■—A case was lately admitted into St. Thomas’ Hospital, London, which points out the necessity of examiningthe pulse in both wrists. The patient, (a man.) had received a severe con tusion on the left side of the abdomen. The sur geon finding the pulse of the left wTist so small and weak as scarcely to be distinguishable. Supposed that an internal bleedinsr had taken place and cordials were in consequence freely exhibited to keep up the vital functions. On the following dav.the left pulse was in the same state, and o!>- servino- symptoms indicative of increased action ofthe head, fulness of the sanguifeious system he examined the pulse in the right wrist, which he found to be full, and beat with sueh foice.that he lost no time in abstracting Mood. The left 3>nlse was not effected by the loss of blood, and hontinaed very feeble when he had nearly recov ered. Anecdote founded on fact.—[n a small vilage in the State of Georgia, a quarrel recently occurred between two Frenchmen, one, a meagie little physician, who looked as if he lived on his own drugs—the other, a sturdy grocer, who. as a can nibal. could have taken the liitle M. D. at a meal. In the progres- of thedispute. the doctor, wrought up to the sticking point amt as warm as a cata plasm, exclaimed vehemently,“/will be dam if 1 no kill you''—to which the grocer replied, with a non-chalance of the most ludicrous contrast. “No Doctaire, I bo darn if you do,forl shall not em ploy yon," Object of the Drama.—*The following observations on the dramatic art, are from the Edinburgh Review : The real object of the drama is the ex hibition of the human character. This, we conceive, is no arbitrary eanon, ori ginating in local and temporary associa tions, like those which regulate the num ber of acts in a play, or of syllables in a line. It is the very essence of a species of composition, in which every idea is coloured by passing through the medium oi'an imaginative mind. To this fundamen tal law every other regulation is subordi nate. The situations which most signal ly (level ope character, form the best plot. The mother-tongue of the passions is the best style. This principle, rightly understood, does not debar the poet from any grace of com position. There is no style in which some man may not, under some circumstances, express himself. There is therefore no style which the drama rejects, none which it does not occasionally require. It is in the discernment of place, of time, and of person, that-the inferior artists fail. The brilliant rhodomontade of Mercutio, the ■’Jaborate declamation of Antony, are, yherc Shakspeare has placed them, natu- jal and pleasing. But Dryden would have hade Mercutio challenge Tybalt, in hy- lei boles as fanciful as those in which he lescribes the chariot of Mab. Corneille vould have represented Antony as scold- ng and coaxing Cleopatra with all the neasured rhetoric of a funeral oration No writers have injured the Comedy >f England so deeply as Congreve and irteridan. Both were men of splendid vit and polished taste. Unhappily they yade all their characters in their own like ness. Their works bear the same rela tion to a legitimate drama which a trans parency bears to a painting; no delicate touches;—no hues imperceptibly fading into each other;—the whole is lighted up with an universal glare. Outlines and tints are forgotten in the common blaze which illuminates all. The flowers and fruits of the intellect abound; but it is the ahnudance of a jungle, not of a garden— unwholesome, bewildering, unprofitable from its very plenty, rank from its very fragrance. Every fop, every boor, every valpt, is a man of wit. The very butts and dupes, Tattle, Urkwould, Puff, Acres outshine the whole Hotel de Rambouillet. To prove the whole system of this school absurd, it is only necessary to apply the test which dissolved the enehan'ed Flori- m el!—to place the true by the false Thal ia, to contrast the most celebrated char acters which have been drawn by tbe wai ters of whom we speak, with the Bastard in King John, or the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet. It was not surely from want of wit that Shakspeare adopted so different a manner. Benedick and Beatrice hrow Mirabel and Millament into die shade.— All the good sayings of the facetious hours of Absolute and Surface might have been clipped from the single character of F di staff without being missed. It would have bpen easy for that fertile mind tr -, given Bartl-lpU and Shallow as much wH as Prince Hal, and to have made Dog berry ami Verges retort on each other in sparkling epigrams. But he knew, to use his own admirable language, that stub in discriminate prodigality was from the pur pose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was, and's, to hold, as it were, the mirror up to Nature,’ From the United States Gazette. NEWSPAPERS. In the hands of able independent, and impartial conductors, they are a public blessing. In the possession ot factious politicians, cringing office hunters, and p, ejudiced editors, they are a curse upon the Country. How many falsehoods are propagated, through the medium of newspapers, inju rious to the reputation of individuals, and society I How many libels are hurled at the heads of good and honest men, from sheer resentment, and political rancor? How .nany happy fire-sides, have been disturbed;—how many domestic circles, distressed, by the misrepresentations, and calumnies of newspapers? Is the wretch who stabs in the dark, with a pr'ess at his command, more honorable, or less infa- mous, than a midnight, or a highway rob ber, with a pisiol at your brest, demanding your purse?—The one, may take your life—the other may rob you ol that, more dear than life itself! ? Newspapers circulate extensively in many districts of the country, where pec pie swallow their contents with avidity, on the bare assertion of edito r s, or their coi- respondents, having no means cf detect ing falsehood,thus insidiously promulgated. Party feeling, political animosities, and ambitious designs, arc carried to such ex tremes ef excitement, even at this calm period of our national existence, as u sicken and disguest the man of honor and refinement. I would rather ponder over a musty file of old newspapers, magazines and port folio’s that I have read again, and again, than be compelled to take up, and read, the political vituperations, and disgusting libels, circulated in some of the newspapers of the present day, than be compelled to travel over the crooked path of defamation, or march in the ranks of a military corps, to the tune ot office, office> office. A press—one that distributes such food to the publici as tends to nourish> aud in vigorate the mindi expand the faculties, and improve the taste, is a blessing that ought to be countenanced, and supported, by a liberal and discerning community— whilst on the other hand, a public journal, exhibiting the distorted features of party violence, calumny, and revenge, ought to be discouraged, and frowned upon, by ev ery good citizen- P been bootless. It is to have tbe whole familj rush into your room, screaming. “What’s the matter?” It is to receive a visit from your doctor, to see him prop his nose with bis cane, shake his head omin ously, and take his lancet out of his jack et-pocket. It is to have your wind-pipe choaked with pills and your palate in open rebellion against potions. It is to have your eyes filled with camphor, and your nose with hartshorn. It is to answer the same question fifty times a day, and to sec the faecsof all your friends dressed for the occasion ifi sympathetic sadness. It is to hear ail their voices pitched to a whining and melancholy tune, when you know they will forget your suffering the ( moment thev quit your presence. It is ; to have your door-hell unstrung, and to Read likewise Daniel denouncing to Belshaz-ar the Divine vengeance ready to overwhelm him, and try if you can find any thing m the most sublime originals of antiquity that can be com pared to those passages of Sacred Writ. As for th$ rest of Scripture every portion of it is uni form and constant, every patt bears the pecu liar character that becomes it. Tho history, the particular detail oflaws, the descriptions, the ve hement and pathetic passages, the mysteries aud prophecies, and moral discourses. in all these ap pears a natural and beautiful variety. In short, there is as great a difference between the heathen poets and the prophets, as there is between a false enthusiasm and the tine. The sacred wri ters being truly inspired, do in a sensible manner express something divine, while the others, striv ing to soar above themselves, always show hu man weakness in their loftiest flights.

Tbe great plain of Pampas, over which Captain Head travelled, reaches from Buenos Avres to the Andes, 'covering a space of about nine hundred miles. This plain is intersected with rivers and streams, which have their sources among the per petual snows of the Andes, and empty themselves into lakes in the interior, or find thoir wav into the ocean through the "real rivers Parana and R io do La Plata. The regions of the Pampas arc inhabited lay a scattered papulation of wild and war like Indians in the Son'll, and of Gaocb s a people of Spanish decent, in 'te nedd'e and Nor'h.

There are two modes of travelling a- cross »be Pampas, one in carriages of a strong heavv construction, and the other on horseback. A carriage is taken at Buenos Ayres for the whole route, and relays of horses are obtained on the wav at post houses kept for the purpose by the Gaucbos. These horses are commonly ild and restive, but six or eight of them are attached to the carriage, and each one is ridden by a peon with enormous spurs, goading the sides of tbe poor animal.— They are thus all hurried forward at a quick gallop, and the traveller is carried apidly along from Buenos Ayres to Men doza. The post houses are usually at a suitable distance for exchanging, but in some instances they are thirty, and never fiftv miles apart. In these cases, the Ganelins accompany the carriage with a drove of horses, which are often changed on the way. Capt. Head considers the mod9 of travelling on horseback much the more independent and expeditions, where the traveller has strenght to endure ihe fa- 1815.

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 cither business or pleasure, and requires only the common restraint of moderation in diet. It is conveyed by tbe circulating fluids, and i di rects their tendencies to all those diseases which originate in vitiated blood, diseased liver, or de praved appetite.
