The Burial—a fragment.-*-There was

darted along in sunshine and shade, heed

distress, the wild bird in its tioisless flight,
sofilv silent as falls the snow-flake, seem

across the vision, like the tliouglit of a
j dream during the hushed hours of mid-

i the sight of their joyous felicity brought no
i gladness, the sounds of their mirth fell
i cold upon the heart—it seemed but bittei
j mockery, and spoke of departed.
! The bright and languishing seemed insen-
jsible that they were smiling over ruin
j and decay ; that one of hope s fairest,
sweetest flowers, had dropt a*id died ; and
now, even now—was to be laid in the
earth’s cold bosom.
I had seen the child in i»s guileless beau

health, innocence and joy ; I had seen it
folded in the arms of her that bore it, in
ail the overwhelming fondness of a moth

JOSEPHINE AND MARIA LOUISA.
“ As a domestic occurrence, . nothing
could more contribute to Buonaparte’s
Happiness than his union with Maria Lou
isa. He was wont to compare her widi
Josephine, by giving the latter all the ad
vantages of art and grace ; the former the
charms of simple modesty and innocence.
His former Empress used every art to sup
port or enhance her personal charms: but
with so much prudence and mystery, that
the secret cares of her toilette could ne
ver be traced her successor trusted for the
power of pleasing to youtli and nature.—
Josephine mismanaged her revenue, and
incurred debt without scruple. Maria Lou
isa lived within her income, or if she desi
red any indulgence beyond it, which was
rarely the case, she asked it as a favor of
Napoleon. Josephine, accustomed to po
litical intrigues, loved to manage, to influ
ence, and to guide ’her husband ; Maria
Louisa desired only to please and to obey
him. Both were excellent women, of great
sweetness of tempe v , and fondly attached
to Napoleon. In the difference between
these distinguished persons, we can easily
discriminate the leading features of the
Parisian, and of the simple German beau
ty. but it is certainly singular that the arti
ficial character should have belonged to
the daughter of the West India Planter :
that marked by nature aid simplicity, to
a Princess of the proudest court in Europe.
Buonaparte, whose domestic conduct was
generally praise worthy, behaved with the
utmost kindness to this princely bride.—
He observed, however, the strictest eti
quette, and required it from the Empress.
If it happened, for example, as was often
the case, that lie was prevented from at
tending at the hour when dinner was pla
ced on the table, he was displeased if, in
interim of iiisabssnce which he often pro
longed, she cither took a book, or had re
course to any female occupation—if, in
short he did- not find her in the attitude of
waiting for the signal to taka her place at
the table.
The. Acropolis of Athens is a hill 250
feet high, situated near the centre of the
ancient city. It was strongly fortified
and magnificently ornamented with tem
ples, the chief of which was the splendid
temple of Minerva, the glory of Grecian
art. The Persians under Xerxes took
the citadel, put the garrison to the sword,
and set fire to the fortress, and the temple
of Minerva, The temple was rebuilt by
Pericles with great additional splendor.
Within was the statue of Minerva by Phi
dias, the masterpiece of the art ofstatuary.
It was of ivory, 39 feet in height, and
covered with pure gold to the value of
$530, 000. In the year 1687, the Vene
tians attempted to make themselves mas
ters of Athens; in the seige,the T urks hav
ing converted the temple of Minerva in
to a powder magazine, a bomb fell into
it, and blew up the whole roof of that fa
mous edifice. The Turks afterwards
converted the inside into a mosque' This
edifice mutilated as it is, retains still an air
of inexpressible grandeur, and excites the
admiration of every beholder. “For these
forty years,” said the French Consul to
Pouqueville, “ do I behold this matchless
structure and every day do I discover
new beauties iu it.” The Turks fortified
the Acropolis and built a large irregular
wall around it. In the year 1S21, soon
after the commencement of the revolution
in Greece, this fortress was unsuccessfully
besciged by the Greeks. The Turks who
had with them about 5C of the prin
cipal Greeks,daily cut off the heads of sev
eral, and rolled them down the wall of
the citadel,:—The next year it surrender

T HIS Medicine lias acquired a very extend

As a spring or fall purifier it has given new-

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 which
originate in vitiated blood, diseased liver, or de

moves all those evils which an unsuccessful use
of mercury so often occasions. No one, how

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 U’nited 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. IVm. Price, formerly Surgeon of the
Pennsylvania Hospital, Lc.
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
detection, whilst Surgeon of the Pennsylvania
Hospital; and sinde 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 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 to the local disease by
its beneficial effects on tbe 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 chrenic 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.

OF THE
Southern Agricultural'st.
HE want of a work to which our planter
_ C ould refer for information, relative to the
Agriculture of the Southern 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 know ledge 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 ie cause, we
have been mere lookers on, wh 1st they have
advanced rapidly, we have been stationary, or
at best have progressed but slowly. From wha:
cause has arisen the vast superiority of the North
over the south in all which relatcsto Agriculture;
Has it bean that they alone have turned their at
tention and profited b> them ? Not so. The
Planters of of the South have been as enterpri
sin? and as active in their researches, as those of
tbeNorth. But whilst the discoveries made br
the latter are brought immediately iuto notice by
their periodical publications, those of‘the former
are known but to few for want of a proper vehi-
cle of communication. Hence it has been that
their improvements have been more rapid than
i our's. and that we are at this day deficient in this
branch of know ledge. Such being the case, doe?
it not become our Planters to come forward and
| assist in the present undertaking and contri
bute from time to time such information as may
be of service to the community- This work wili
be divided into three parts. Part 1st. Original-
Part 2d. -.Selections and Reviews—Part 3d, Agri
cultural Information.
Part 1st will contain all Original Essays 6n
Agriculture Horticulture, Botany, Rural affairs,
j and Domestic Economy. Not only the present
staple articles of the South will be attended tn
but also the introduction of new objects of Cul
ture such as the Grape Vine, Olive, Capers, Tea,
Sugar Cane, Silk Worm and others, which have
vet been untrie of course nut known how far
they may be climatised. Only that branch ofHor
ticular will ’ e for the present attended to. which
relates to the Kitchen Garden, When the pro
per time shall arrive, we are prepared to give
directions for the cultivation of the higher bran
ches.
Part 2d will contain Selections from Foreign
Works on the above subjects so far as they may
be applicable to the soil and climate of the South
ern seciion of the Union, or inay in some way he
of use to our planters. Reviews of such works as
