Who art thou dar’st to touch a theme 7
To which thy heart a stranger is,
Or boldly to assume that name,
Which passion only claims as his.
Sitv would’st thou speak love’s high behests,
Give language to a soul on fire—
Speak to a fiieud a friend’s deserts,
Or trim the lamp to light thine ire.
Al t thou a friend, hear friendship’s voice,
Thon ne’ei hast felt the “ madd’ning pang’’
Which tears the soul—then friend rejoice,
Hut sing no more thy Lethe ~ong.
If tliou’rt a foe, then hear what fate
Proclaims for thee, witli thee, one other
“ ’Till thou can’st brave the eagle’s flight,
Take plumbs and cherries from thy mother ;
Their acid sweets will please thy taste,
Their pretty tints thy wondering eye,
The theme thy genius,” far stern fate
Decrees thou may’st not look so high.

“There are times when we sorrow endure-*-
, There are moments when sadness may come.”
Look up, yon glorious orb behold l
Did’st see that cloud pass o'er bis face ?
And now, ’tis as a tale’s been to d—
its frowns thou can’st no longer trace.
The cloud thy searching glance descried
Contained no drops of “ angry hate,”
Nor “ humbled pride,” but hope destroy’d
Pour'd down its blighting sliow’rs of fate.
Was it a jest, with sorrow’s tone,
And laguage borrow’d to convey it.
Thou say’st ’twas so, and that alone,
My faith snail trust, thou’lt ne’er betray it.
Ah no the pledge thine heart hath given
Is strong, and I with joy receive it;
“ Until life’s latest breath has flown”
My life shall prove that I believe it.
'Tis gone, that dark and gloomy hour
Hath fled, and now thy heart’s deep sadness
To joy gives place, oh 1 whence that power ?
’Tis hope arrayed in smiles of gladness !
With outstretched hand the cup she holds
To sooth tiie heart once well nigh broken,
Its motto spes “thy fate’s now told,
Hast thou forgot,’ she cries* “ love’s token V'
No, never ! whilst my heart shall hold
In mem’ry aught, 1 11 aye believe

The obverse “never can deceive.”

Extracts fiorn Jonathan’s .Memorandum
tour to see York Sute.
Monday, August, 1815. Twenty-one
years old to-day, huzza! Haying and
harvest done, mounted old Dobbin, with
mv Sunday clothes on, and a ten dollar
bill in m v pocket, going to see York State.
Never was out of Connecticut in my life.
Took cousin Jciialiod in mv rout, and got
my dinner for nothing.—Crossed the line
just before night—don’t see but the York
State folks arc civil enough—wonder if
(hoy know how to read ! Saw a school-
house, thought they had none here. Stop
ped at a tavern and put up—good supper
and good lodging—don’t see but that the
were seated. There was nothing remar- j uated notches (as employed in Saw Sett
kab!e in the person of the lady of the ! plates in common use) in one notch. This
President; she was matronly and kind,
with perfect good breeding; she at once
entered into easy conversation, asked how
long he had been in America, how he
liked the country, and such other familiar
but general questions. In a few minutes
the General entered the room ; it was not
necessary to announce his name, for his
peculiar appearance, his firm forehead,
Roman nose, and a projection ofthelow-
er jaw, his height and figure, could not
be mistaken by any one who had seen a
full length picture of him, and yet no pic
ture accurately resembled him in the min
ute traits of his person. His features,
however, were so marked by prominent
characteristics, which appear iu all like-
/-ii »- u i .1 t • r> 1 nesses of him, that a stranger could not
folks live as well here as they do in Con- , ... tt
necticuf be mistaken in the man. He was remar
kably dignified in his manner, and had an
Tuesday morning. Five and six pence
to pay—wonder how they can count York
money—plaguey unhandy. Mounted Dob
bin and joggpd on—met a quaker and en
quired the road to Poughkeepsie—appear
ed civil and clever enough—wonder what,
(hey used to hang’em for. Good land—
guess they might raise great pumpkins and
onions here. Turn-pike gate—got a bot
tle of beer of the woman—pretty good
beer, wonder if they made it. Men mak
ing brick ; queer things to mix mortar
wilh—wonder what ihey call’em. Got
into Poughkeepsie about noon—houses
thick as spatter—never saw a citv before
in my life—went to a tavern and put old | [j rcs ^y
Dobbin up to hay—got some dinner and '
then walked out to see the wonderments
of the place. Folks looked as fine as if
they were going to meeting—wonder if
they have meetings here—guess thev do
—see some steeples. Queer bonnets the
Indies wear—pull ’em down over their
faces, as though they were going to the
gallows, or had sore eves—have all the
backside of their heads naked—stick their
hair full of combs—mistook the back side
of a lady’s head, with one of these tip up
bonnets on, for her face—thought she
looked at me as though I was a lawver,
or a doctor, or some great things—made
her what cousin Ichabod calls a quaker
faced bow, before T found mv mistake.—
Man drunk right York State fashi n.—
Wonder what the gentlemen wear boots
for this hot weather ; guess their stockings
arc dirty, or else bav’n’t got nnv—boot
tassels—good tlungs to keep off liies—fiv
brushes T call ’em. Ladies wear their
hair corn’d t’other way ; all on the top of
their head, braided and twisted & squirm
ed round and round, like as I’ve seen sis
ter Molly wind up a bed cord to boil in a
kettle to kill the bugs ; wonder what they
call it—wouldn’t Cupid's nest be a good
name? (Mem. To ask cousin Ichabod
when I get home)—curl their foretops
over their eyes—call it a beau catcher—
take a good many to catch me, T guess—
look like a spaniel.—Went back to the
tavern and ordered Dobbin four quarts of
oats—ostler a clever fellow, told me all
about the cusfoms and faahione m>d won
derments of the place—couldn’t guess, till
they told me, what made the ladies walk
so mighty strait and'plumb—savs tlr>y
wear Corselets, or Corsetts, or Cosseits,
or something; I’ve forgot the name.—
“ What the deuce is that ?” says T—
“ Why, ’(is a kind of a board,” says he,
“ that they-wear” * * * *
Well, I’li be swamp’d if that don’t heat
all—never heard of such a thing before—
should love to see’em pull flax all day
with their Cossetts on—guess they’d ache
before night, faith. By which of the se
ven senses do von know that ? says I—
shouldn’t know it if they wore fifty Cos-
setts. “ O, that’s easy enough,” says he:
“ can tell ’em clear across the street.”—
Wonder why some of the ladies wear their
gowns so short—queer fashion—jack
boots would hardly reach ’em—heard a
young buck say he didn’t care a d—n how
high they carried the fashion—guess
they’d look comical if they carried it much
higher, faith.—Promised, when I left
home, to get sister Molly a new bonnett;
went into a milliner’s shop, and told the
woman I wanted a bonnet for mv sister
Molly, of the newest fashion, “Yes, sir,”
says she, “.I have some right from York,
of die first quality and latest fashion;
here’s one, sir, that I presume will suit
your sister exactly.” Looked at the bon
net—just like her old last year’s one.—
Aye, aye, ma’am, you needn’t think to
pack me off with your old duds and trum
pery : don’t catch old birds with chaff;
left the shop, sha’nt go there again. Toy
shop—brim full of notions ; bought nine-
pence worth—no, a shilling ; darn that
York money. Went to the tavern and
got supper—men playing chequers and
drinking grog : York State exactly; old
Connecticut best yet—went to bed.
TVcdntsday morning. Fine In cakfast

pye to top off with—queer coffee pot—
watered Dobbin ostler’s excellent rea
son why the gentlemen wear open jack
ets on Monday, and close buttoned on
Saturday—’cause their ruffles get dirty.
Vessels in the river—wonder if they ever
build any bigger ones—steam boat—smoke
like a coal pit. Don’t know whether I’d
nance is to throw 60 balls, of 4 pounds j better get Molly one of the tip up bonnets
or not; guess our folks would make a rum
pus if they should see her get it on, with
her hair combed t’other wav into Cupid's

each, in a minute, with the correctness of
a rifle musket. A musket is to be attached
to the steam generator, for discharging a
stream of lead from the basin of a fort; it
is to throw from one hundred to a thou
sand bullets in a minute, as occasion may
require. A series of satisfactory experi
ments has taken place at Greenwich, at
tended by French engineers, appointed for
the purpose by the Duke d’Angouleme,
with one rifhis aids, and Prince Polignac.
Lord Wellington remarked, that a country
defended by this kind of artillery, would
never be invaded. Lord Exmouth, after
witnessing a few showers of lead, said he
believed the time would come, when a
steam gun boat, with two guns in her bow,
would conquer any line of battle-ship ; and
Sir G. Cockburn said, the mischief of it
was, it would be to nations what the pis
tol was to duelists—it would bring strong
and weak on a level.—London Paper.
The following article is from the London
New Monthly Magazine. The London
Sun attributes it to the pen of Haslitt, and
calls it “ A sketch of Washington,
one of the greatest men the modern world
has even seen.”
Washington',—I remember my father
telling me he was introduced to Wash
ington in 1790, by an American friend.—
A servant, well-looking and well dressed
received the visitants at the door, and by
him they were delivered over to an of
ficer of the United States service, who
ushered *hem into the drawing room in
which Mrs. Washington and several ladies
air of benignity over his features, which
his visitant did, not expect, being ratiier
prepared for sternness of countenance.—
After an introduction by Mrs. Washing
ton, without more form than common good
manners prescribes, “ he requested me,”
said my father, “ to be seated; and, ta
king a chair himself, entered at once into
conversation. His manner was full of af
fability. He asked how I liked the coun
try, the city of New York ; talked of the
infant institutions of America, and the
advantages she offered, byiier intercourse
for benefitting other nations. He was
grave in manner, but perfectly easy. His
as of purple satin. There was a
commanding air in bis appearance which
excited respect, and forbade too great a
freedom towards him, independently of
that species of awe which is always felt in
the moral influence of a great character.
In every movement too there vvasa polite
gracefulness equal to any met with in the
most polished individuals in Europe, and
Iris smile was extraordinarily attractive.—
It was observed to me that there was an
expression in Washington’s face that no
painter had succeeded in taking. It
struck me no man could be better form
ed for command. A stature of six feet, a
robust but well proportioned frame, cal
culated to sustain fatigue, without that
heaviness which generally attends great
muscular strength, and abates active ex
ertion, displaying bodily power of no mean
standard. A light eye of genius and re
flection, rather than of blind passionate
impulse. His nose appeared thick; and
though it befitted Iris other features, was
too coarsely and strongly formed to be
the handsomest of its class. Ilis mouth
was like no other that ! ever saw ; the
lips firm, and the under jaw seeming to
grasp the upper with force, as if its mus
cles were in full action when he sat still.
Neither with the General nor with Mrs.
Washington was there the slightest re
straint of ceremony. There was less of
it than I ever recollect to have met with,
where perfect good breeding and manners
were at the same time observed. To ma
ny remaiks Washington assented wilh a
smile or inclination ofTlie heJcF, as it lie
were by nature sparing in his conversation
and I am inclined to think this was the
case. An allusion was made to a serious
fit of illness he had recently suffered ; but
lie took no police of it. I could not help
remarking, that America must have look
ed with anxiety to the termination of his
indisposition. He made no reply to my
compliment but by an inclination of the
head. His bow at at my taking* leave I
shall not forgit. It was the last move
ment which I saw that illustrious chaiac-
ter make as mv eyes took leave of him
forever, and it hangs a perfect picture up
on mv recollection. Tiie house of Wash
ington was in Broadway, and the
street front was handsome. The araw-
ing-rooin in which I sat was lofty and
spacious; but the furniture was not be
yond that found in dwellings of opulent.
Americans in general, and might be call
ed plain for its situation. The upper end
of the room had glass doors, which open
ed upon a balcony commanding an ex
tensive view of the Hudson River, inter
spersed with islands, and the Jersey shore
on the opposite side. A grandson and
daughter resided constantly in the house
with the General, and a nephe^ of the
General’s, married to a niece of Mrs.
Washington, resided at Mount Vernon, the
General’s family seat in Virginia, his res
idence, as President, keeping him at the
Seat of Government. The levees held
by Washington, as President, were gen
erally crowded, and held on Tuesday, be
tween three arid four o’clock. The Presi
dent stood and received ‘he bow of the
person present who retired to make way
for another. At the drawing-rooms, Mrs.
W ashington received the ladies who curt
sied, and passed aside without exchanging
a word. Tea and coffee, wilh refresh
ments of all kinds, were laid in one part
of the rooms, and before the individuals
of the company retired, each lady was a
second time led up to the lady President,
made her second silent obeisance, and de
parted—nothing could be more simple,
yet it was enough.
he has effected by means of a key, (if it
may be so called) similar in form to a mag
net, or musician’s ^onnding key, which is
inserted in an inclined brass mortice, by
which inclination it closes or expands (when
moved) to auy consistency of Saw that
may require setting. Another obvious
advantage of this most simple and ingen-
ous contrivance over all other tools of the
sort, is its easy repair. When the key
(the opposite part)is rendered useless either
by wear or accident, it can be replaced
by a common smith, at an expense not ex
ceeding ten, or twelve and a half cents.—
We learn that they are now manufactured
in this city.—Phila Eve. Pest.

rects their tendencies to all those diseases which t j e .p a „ e ’
originate in vitiated blood, diseased liver, or de- — -
proved appetite. It is a safe medicine, and re
moves all those eviis 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.
This Medicine has the singular fortune, a just
tribute to its great merit, of being recommended
by the most celebrated Practitioners of Medicine
in the INiited 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 convic
tion.
From Dr. IFm. Price, formerly Surgeon of the
Pennsylvania Hospital, &c.
Liverpool, (eng.) Sett. 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 Dispases.
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, he
has had the good fortune of witnessing many ad
ditional instances ofits successful administration.
The diseases in which this Medicine has been
patticularly useful, are those arising from con
stitutional causes—as in the various forms of
Scrofula, wbelher 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 to the local disease by
its beneficial effects 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.

Intelligence of a Wasp.—Dr. Dartvin,
in Iris Zoonomia, relates an anecdote ol - '
apparent ratiocination in a wasp, which j
had caught a fly nearly as large as itself.— I
Kneeling down, the Doctor saw the wasp \
dissever the head and tail from the trunk i
of the fly, aud attempt to soar with the !at- !
ter ;but findiug tvhen about two feet from j
the ground, that the wings of the fly car- !
ried too much sail, and caused its prize !
and itselfto be whirled about by the little
breeze that had arisen, it dropped on the
ground with his prev, and deliberately
sawed off with his mandibles, first one
wing and then the other; having thus re
moved these impediments to its progress
the wasp flew away with its booty, and
experienced no further molestation from
the wind.
