The Burial—a fragment.-*-There was joy on earth, the twittering swallow, as it darted along in sunshine and shade, heed ed not the Titter wailings of affliction and distress, the wild bird in its tioisless flight, sofilv silent as falls the snow-flake, seem ed unmindful of wo, as it flashed its wing across the vision, like the tliouglit of a j dream during the hushed hours of mid- | night, and vanished as suddenly. To me 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.

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 ed to Ulysses.—Hamy. Gax..

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 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 praved appetite.

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. May 28 7 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 may treat ofthe Agriculture of these States, or such as may either directly or indirectly have an" influence on us. will be inserted in this part of the work. Part 3d will contain brief Agricultural Notices as that our planters may not remain ignorant of what is going on, hut may have an opportunity of knowing what is done in the different parts ofthe world in aid of Agriculture.' It is hoped that this knowledge will be a spur to our enterprise, anil cause us also to make fresh exertions. Here al so will he inserted a list of Agricultural, Horti cultural and Botanical Works, and occasional ly some notice will be taken of their contents.— Advertisements of Agricultural Works, and Im plements, or auv other which may interest the Planters generally, will be published on a sepa rate sheet, and attached to each number.
