THE SABBATII EVE.
How calmly sinks the parting sun !
Yet twilight lingers still,
And beautiful as dreams of Heaven,
. ’Tis slumbering on the Hill:
Earth sleeps with all he/glorious things
1th th<5 Holv Snirit’c winirfl
j.eneath the Holy Spirit’s wings,
^nd, rendering back the hues above,
Seems resting in a trance of love.
Mysterious music from the pines
O’er yon dark rock reclined
Vails like the whispering words of petyjc,
Upon the heavenly mind;
And winds w th pinions steeped in dew,
Breathe gently, as if stealing through
From Eden’s bowers, they came to bless
The spirit with their holiues3.
Tlie rASTP !~{hc past !~How, fondiy ^6

throws around the present, to catch one?
sunny glimpse of the past!—to rest the
eye on the bright scenes of our pilgri
and refresh the soul at the founts
Recollection ! T'hus the benighted trav-
eltor turns back his wistful glance upon the
glimmering taper of the distant cottage;
and the shipwrecked mariner bends back
his anxious eye upon the last lingering
rays, of the setting sun. ,
How bright are the charms of the by-
| gone days, how enchanting the images
they impress upon the heart. As age ap
proaches'us recent, events seem to wither
in his grasp—their characters are blotted
out, like the traces on the beach, by each
returning tide. But the images of other
days, become more deeply engraven in
the memory;—they seem to. grow young,
vigorous and vivid as we grow old, and
feeble and inanimate. Happy, happy il-
And yonder glittering throng of clouds,
Retiring from the sky,
.10 calmly move, so sweetly glow,
They seem to Fancy’s eye,
Bright creatures of a better sphere
Come down at ioou to worship here,
And from their glcrifice of ldve,
Returning to their home .above.
' Tjhe stores of the Magdelena are in
' 4 s much infested by the South
tigert. These animals are
imes large, and are fierce and dalt-
is; but the Indians have a mode of
i&g them, in which they are very ex-
and which affords a test of their bold-
s and seif possession: An English
naturalist ou board the Bolivar, expressed
a wish to- obtain the head of one of these
Ravage animals, and an Indian .offered to
gratify him for the small reward of a dol
lar, So taking a piece of spoiled beef iD
aJ»g, a short lance in his hand, and with
bis long knife stuck at his side he juoiped
into the water and swam to the shore.—
After penetrating a little way into the for
est, he made a fire on the ground and be
gan to roast the meat; by the smell of
which a large tiger was scon-attracted,
and, on approaching the place, crawled
slowly towards him on his belly, like a cat
watchiing a mouse. These things were
observed from a safe distance by some of
of the passengers, who were still more as
- lie blue isles of the golden sea,
The night-arch floating high,
The flowers that gaze upon the heavens,
The bright streams leaping by,
Are living with religion,—deep,
Its glories on the waters sleep,
And mingling with the moon’s pale rays,
Elite the soft light ofparted days.
The spirit of the holy eve,
Comes through the silent air,
To feeling’s hidden spring, and wakes
The gush of music there; ,
And the far depths of ether beam,
So passing fair, we almost dream,
That we can rise and waqder through
The open hath of trackless blue.
.Each soul is filled with glorious dreams,
Each pulse is beating wild,
And thought is soaring to the shrine
Of glory undefiled;
And holy inspirations start,
y°rtfa from the temple of the heart,
And chain—for Forth's dark ties are riven-
Our spirits to the gates ef Heaven.

O.S THE DEATH OF AN OLD TOWNSMAN.
Attempted for the music of Rosseau’s dream.
Young he left thee—poor lie lef> thee,
Sad he left thee. Emerald Isle—
■A hen oppression’s cloud bereft thee
Of thy last and saddest smile,
Here he came, but Ireland ever
Warm’d his heart and fill’d his thought—
Wanderingson of Erin never
Sought his hearth and found it not.
Fast by Liffey’s lovely borders,
Broad of wave and darkly deep’
Fast by Leixlip’s leaping waters.
Farents, friends and kindred sleep.
Here he dwelt, and all mound him
Blest his warm arid honest heart—
Here he died as first we found him,

enchantments of youth, and more than re
alize their innocence in their felicity !
How potently do the recollections of
the past, like the enchanted herbs of Me

olescence of you’h, rekindle the extin
guished flame of feeling, make the feeble

The United States do at this moment,
manufacture to the great benefit of the
Nation at large, coarse cotton goods, the
people employed are in great numbers,
and the capital is very considerable; a sim-
iliar ad vantage, and of no less importance
can bo obtained, if printed and coloured
cotton goods were to receive from con
gees*, a protection, which they have not at
this moment. By the present tariff, cot-
ion manufactures of all description, pay 7
i cents per square yard, that is to say ;
that the white goods", pay 7£ cents, and
the printed and coloured no more per
square yard; of course, the work for prin
ting, staining and colouring, which by it
self forms an independent branch of manu
facture, is not protected at all; a small duty
of not less than 3 cents on the running
yard, or not less than five the square yard",
is absolutely necessary, if we wish to" im
plant it in this country.

seated by the fire, as the tiger moved
slowly on, with the bag laid over the roast

sharp lance, about three feet long. in his
hamj^witb its butt on the ground, by his
foot, and the point raised to a slanting
position towards the animal. When with
in springing distance, he snatched away
the bag ; and the tiger, as if fearing he
was removing the meat, couched and
sprang directly towards him. With the
greatest coolness, however, the Indian re
ceived him on the point of his spear,
which penetrated his chest, and past
through his back ; and, then, with a dex
trous management of the weapon, threw
him over his back, and drawing his long
keen knife, instantly cut off his head!

The Bostonians are about to raise $300
for the purpose of buying the small statue
of Sappho, made by Mr; Augur. The pa
pers say that “this statue augurs well for his
future success.”—They ought to pay him
another $300 for perpetrating such a vile
pun. W e should however advise this
sculptor to change his name, for augur must
be a great bore. At any rate, let him Sa-
pho! to all these abominable word-catch

Hencecream should be well covered,
and exposed as little as possible.to the air.
The carise ef butter becoming rancid,Js
its uniting with the oxygen of the at:
phere. ‘Cream also unites with oxy
which thus thickens it; and when the
ter is separated from the cream, the
gen adheres to the former. Hence new-
cream always makes the best butter, and
hence, rancid batter, when meltqd and
passed several times through charcoal,
which has a superior attraction for oxy
gen, will become as sweet and good as
ever.
The most effectual way to keep butter
fresh fora length of time, is to prepare it
in the usual way, and encompass it with a
thick coat, say two or three inches, of pow
dered charcoal. In this way if entirely
freed from water at first, it may undoubt
edly be kept good for many years.
Very little salt is used in the best modes
of keeping butter. A certain portion of
acid, either natural or artificial, must be
used in the cream, in order to secure a
successful churning. A little old cream,
rennet, or lemon juice, or a spoonful of
good vinegar to every gallon of cream may
be used.

THE PAST.
“I cannot but remember such things were
And were most dearto’me.”
It is not from the promised jovs. of the
•uture, that we can derive our happi-
mess. Anticipation may robe them, in
* her gaudiest colors,-and array them in her
brightest smiles, yet disappointment will
cast her c! nds over them', and her bright
hues will fade aw&v like the tints of the
rainbow before the shadows of evening.
Neither can they enjoy the present—the
moment of.enjoyment) is a sensual gratifi
cation. We itiust turn to the past ! It
is a kindly Providence, that, while it
seems to bear us over the ocean of life,
wafts us tinconciously back by a refluent
tide to 'ho scenes of other days, whose
Distance lends enchantment to the view '
If those scenes have been innocent, they
must be happy : every hour adds a new
tint, every day a new chariji to them ; and
every year increases their valup. Like
objects to the aged eye, a» They become
more distant, they appear more distinct.
While<we approach the winter of age they
flourish in the verdure of spring* and
while age blanches pur locks, they bloom
in eternal youth ! : >'
Like objects placed too pear the vision
we do not see our enjoyments at the mo
ment they are in our‘ possession—we do
not know we have realized, tip we have
lost them. There is a transport that
blinds us—there is an ecstacy that deprives
ns of conciousness. When the enjovment
is torn from our embrace, we wake as
from a trance, and when reflection returns
we behold happiness at a distance! It is
then that it glances on the dark mirror of
the-heart.
O! riot till time hag calmed the ruffled breast,
And these for. J dreams of happiness confessed!
Not till the rushing winds forget to rave,
Js Heaven’s sweet smile reflected on the wave!
There is no enjrfvnient like that of
memory ; there is no felicity liko*he rec-
oh.-ciion of other days, that “come be
fore us with all their deeds.” Even those
r: :;£s that were painful to suffer are pleas-
remember.
To obtain with success this duty,
would recommend (hat the law of congres-
Woul! sitnnly enact that in addition to the
present duty on cotton goods, 3 or 5 cents
should be added on printed or coloured
' cotton goods;
The following calculations will show
the advantage to the nation at large, of
encouraging the manufacture of printed
and coloured cotton goods.
We received from England in the trea
sury years of 1825 and 1826 for $11,.583,
144 of those goods, say for one year $5,-
791,572 ; out of 1 his a*roount three fourths
at least of those goods are printed calicoes
for ladies’dresses, bed and window cur
tains, say $4,343,678, the raw material of
which cost only $537,530, the difference
being $3,806,149, which we pay to the
working people of England to make those
goods, ah hough we can make them with as
much to our advantage as we have done
for (he coarse cotton goods, for three years
past.
I have advanced that we might have
saved $3,809,146 a year, if we had man-
ufactured tlio printed £?oods we liave ini-
ported from England, my proof is this :
The average weight of calicoes is 4lb a
piece of 28 yards, thg average price is four
dollars a piece.
To invest $4,343,679 in England in
calicoes, it will give you 1,085,920 pieces;
each piece will take 6| lbs. 537,530 of
cotton wool, sav 4,886,640 !bs. at 11, will
be $3, 306,149 saved to the country in
calicoes alone—$1,268,718,33 saved also
on coloured goods, supposing the same re
sult.
In this calculation we have taken for a
basis onr imports of printed and coloured
cotton goods from England only ; the im
portation front other parts of Europe are
about half of those from England.
By encouraging the-manufaclure of prin
ted and coloured goods, we would increase
ibo cou^niTifitttvn *»f coiton; by 0,315,500
lbs. or about 21,000 bales. It would em
ploy constancy at feast from 15,000 to 20,-
COO people; it would .take a large amount
in building, machinery,.&c. not less than
six to seven millions of dollars for the ben
efit of all mechanics, as masons, carpen
ters, black-smiths, mill-wrights, reed ma
kers, &c.; it would give value to real prop
erty, would employ a great many of our
youths, at this moment much erabarrased.
Fight bettreen a Tiger gad a i Alliga-
tor.—By a part of the Suntferlands, called
Athara, Balii, of very thieik jungle, but
through which a creek runs, a boat -was
passing lately, when the crew observed a
large tiger come to the water’s edge of
drink; an alligator on the banks seized"hold
of him, but the tiger resisted and a contest
ensued, which lasted for two hours, each
seizing and grappling with the other, and
the tiger alarming the whole forest with his
roar. At last the Alligator succeeded in
dragging the tiger in to the water who then
became alarmed, and letting go his hold of
the alligator, the latter seemed glacf to be
released, and the tiger made off into (he
jungle.—Asiatic Magazine.

Cure for the Epilepsy.—Lately, a'wo
man passing through the streets of Glas
gow, was suddenly attackedjwith a fit ofep-
ilepsy. Among the persons attracted to
the spot, was a young sailor, who seeing
the woman, called out for some grains of
coarse salt, which he ‘forced into her
mputh. This immediately had the effect
of restoring the woman’s sensation and
speech, and her convulsion was at once
put a stop lo. The young man, who had
been at Madagascar and other foreign pla
ces, says he has seen this remedy applied
to persons in epilepsy with great suc
cess.
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 bv 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 or pleasure, 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 whicli
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.
T HE want ofa work to which our planters
could refer for information, relative to the
Agriculture of theBouthern section of the Union
has long been felt, and has long been submitted
to as a necessary evil for Which no remedy was
at hand. With a sufficiency of talents and "of en
terprise, to conduct experiments to draw infer
ences and to detail them, yet have we presented
to the world, the spectacle of a high minded and
enterprising agricultural community, destitute of
original agricultural works, and depending sole
ly on original communications, or Foreign publi
cations for all our knowledge on these subjects.—
Whilst others have carefully collected and recor
ded the experience of their practical Farmers,
we have permitted the hard earned knowledge
of our farmers topeiish with them. Whilst others
have been straining every nerve in the cause, we
have been mere lookers on, whilst they have
advanced rapidly, we have been stationary, or
at best have progressed but slowly. From what
cause has arisen the vast superiority of the North
over time south in all which relates to Agriculture?
Has it been that they alone have turned' their at-
catioa, would seem-likely to be of nee’] '
vice at the present day, "when an inter^T

rnunity, remains unprovided with one of k
popular and useful vehicles of informal ^

expected to result from a periodical work '
as is now proposed, we think unnecessary v

class before us, we feel abundant cncoaraJ
to proceed in our undertaking. c
A leading object of the Journal willbe,

mation the most diligent inquiry can pro-

in the United States, and in foreign oonntrir!
opportunity will thus be afforded for a fair

The conductors of the Journal will ffi V

seems to us, has more influence in retards
progress of improvement in the science of imp

education should be expected to produce. I»J

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 United States and elsewhere, whereas not

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

We were much pleased yesterday, with
a very simple, neat and useful invention
for Cooking upon a table, with a very
small portiou of fuel and without danger
or inconvenience. Its principles are first,
the fire is so surrounded .by water as to
render it perfectly safe and invisible, but
its influence operates in different ways,
viz. It boils, stews, toasts attd stews, all"at
once; three different liquids are prepared
at one time, and bread is toasted, eggs
steamed, steaks, fish, &.c. are prepared in
a very clean and pleasaut.manner. To
those who study economy, safety and con

Butter.—It is customary to churn with
out any regularity of motion, sometimes
fast, and sometimes slow ; and to shift the
churn fiont one person to another until
the butter “ comes.” But it should be
known, that an irregularity of motion al
ways impedes the process. Those who
wish ttf have their butter good, and to
have it come quick, should not suffer any
person to assist them in churning: for if
the churning be irregularly performed, in
winter, the butter will “go back;” and
if the' motion be quickened, in summer,
the butter will ferment and thus acquire
a.very disagreeable flavor. Butter seldom
keeps fresh, in summer, more than two or
three days, when there are two or more
persons engaged in churning. Cream on
no account be churned in the middle ofa
summer’sday, but early ih the morning
or late m the evening. Regularity of mo
tion should be particularly attended to,
and the warmer the atmosphere the slow
er should be the churning. If durinw
the process the cream should be heated to

will acquire a disagreeable flavor: when it

harder and, with the addition of a little
sait, will keep much longer.

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
lias had abundant and most satisfactor v 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 of its successful administration.
The diseases in which this Medicine has been
paiticularly useful, are those arising from con
stitutional causes—as- in tbe 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 to the local disease ’ by
its beneficial effects on the constitution. It i"s
equally efficacious in mercurial disease, and in
the secondary forms of Sypilis, and has lately-
been given 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 tbe 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.

ral consequence of the restrictions thus unjust

body, and a.neglected heart. Education show

for the dischri-ge of all Ins duties : it should p,

hearts formed to all that is pure and nobb
moral principle; and minds prepared for <
cient exertion in whatever may be their dep;
ment in the great business of accomplishing t!
purposes of human existence. Under these it
pressions, we shall give to physical education tli
proportion of our attention which serins dac
its importance. Moral education we shall tan

and stamp the character. The iniluence of t

or that which emanates from parental and farai

tion, or that which consists in the voluntary ft

The subject of female education is one w bi
was deemed unspeakably important. We ha
no hesitation in expressing our conviction that
has not yet received the consideration which
merits. Whatever concerns the culture of ti
female mind, extends ultimately to the formatii
of all minds, at that early and snsceptible perio
when maternal influence is forming the imprf
sions which eventually terminate in mental at
moral habits. But the theme is too full of impo
tant and interesting topics to admit of discussii
