He mounted the steed of his youth, He grasped the strong lance in his hand ; He wept, for each feeling of truth, Arose from his woe stricken land. ftie Turk was abroad on the plain, The Tacha had ruined his tout; His tribe had been savagely slain, His camp had been brutally rent. /.caused be the fate of my foes i— Unhappy their portions—their lot! These soul melting tears, and these woes. Be never,—oh never forgot! II fly with the winds from this place, The demons of death have been here Of my home they have left not a trace, Not a solace my bosom to cheer. He sat and he wept o’er the crave, Where mouldered the child of his heart > He went, and he sullenly gave A farewell, as he hasted to part. He managed his well broken steed, He rode to the desert away ; He fell,—forjthe whizzing jerred. Had made the poor Arab its prey. 3. LIFE’S PLEASURES. / Lite hath its hour of joy—there falls No gloom on childhood's sunny brow, No case that bows—no bond that thralls The heart, can life’s gay morning know. Rut oh ! for childhood’s sunny hours In vain the heart in after years Shall seek—when wither’d by the b’igjrt Of disappointment—when the cares Of life are crouded on the inind, When by fate’s faithless phantom led Jn search of joy, it mourns to find The 1 romised bliss forever fled. Of confidence and vows of truth— When fancy with his brightest beams Has lighted up the path of youth i Rut soon or late the time must come, When dreams of youth most pass away And sorrow cast its veil of gloom, before its bright and cheerful ray j The noblest tecling of the heart, pare and deep affection horn, Wither’d by cold neglect and scorn. Life hath its hour of love—it brings A strange compound of hopes and fcni« Brightest of life’s imagining, >3 love in youth’s unclouded years; But oh ! how oft its charm hath passed, Like visions of the night away. Swept o’er bv disappointment’s blast, Leaving the heart in dread decay The fondest and the lovliest form That e’er hath known love’s rapturous spell, tlas sunk beneath the wasting storm, jfriat ca its true affections fell. Life hath its bliss—the bliss that flows f/om eonciousness of having done Our doty, at life’s weary c ose, When slowly sinks existence' sun ; When we an look around and see Jfo dark act using spirit near, When fp m the bond of earth set free the wearv soul hath joy to hear Its summons to a brighter clime, Where earthly woes no entrance find. And when the dreary hours of time Are left with all their cates behind. ftaverhill, 6th mo.

S&XjWh Georgian, mother! And those who looked upon her could scarcely believe but that she sweetly slept —*e®— A singular instance of the effects of theccnsor- ship of the press in France has just occurred.— An article of mercantile intelligence was sup pressed, because it contained the following words: “ Les brutes Bourbons soot ea baisse” i. e. “the raw Bourbons, meaning sugars of the isle of Bourbon are falling. ” It appears, there fore, the word brutes must no longer be connect ed with Ra'-irboqsinthelistofbrokers and factors. £Cify GastHF Att/aationi— u Logs of wood floating in a pond approach each other, and after wards remain in contact. The wreck of a ship in a smooth sea after a storm, is often seen gathered into heaps. Two bullets or plummets, suspended by strings near to each other, are found by the del icate touch'of the Torison balance to attract each other, and therefore not hang quite perpendicularly. A plummet suspended near the side of a mountain, inclines to ward it in a degree proportioned to its magnitude; as was ascertained by the well-known trials of Mr. Maskelyne near the mountain Skehalion, in Scotland. And the reason why the plummet tends much more stronsrly towards the earth than towards the hill, is only that the earth is larger than the hill. Aud at. New South Wales, which is a point na our globe neatly opposite to England, plum mets bang and fall towards the centre of the globe, exactly as they do here, so that they are hanging up and falling towards England, and the people Ihere are stand ing with tfi«?ir* feet to us. Weight, therefo 0 is merely general attraction ac ting every where. But it is owing to this general attraction that onr earth itself is a globe. All ils parts being drawn towards, each ether, that is, towards a common centre, the mass assumes the spherical or round form. And the moon also is round, and all the planets are round ; the glori ous sun, so much largpr than all these, is round: proving that all must at one tinul have been fluid, and that they are all sub ject to the same law. Other instances of ronndness from this cause are—the particles of mist or fog floating in the air, these mutually attracting and coalescing into larger drops and forming rain ; dew- drops ; wat8r trickling on a ducks wing; the tear dropping from the cheek ; drops of laudanum ; globules of mercury^ like pure silver beads, coalescing when near, and forming larger ones ; melted lead al lowed to rain down from an elevated sieve which cools as it decends, so as to retain the form of its liquid drops, and becomes the sphirical shotlead of the sportesman. The cause of the-extraordinary phenome non which wo call attraction acts at all dis tances. The moon, though 240,000 miles from the earth, by her attraction raises the ocean nndpr her, and forms what we call tide. The sun, still farther off has a similar influence; and when the sun and moon act in the same direction, we have the spring ♦ides. The planets, those apparently little wandering points in the heavens, yet affect, by their attraction, the motion of our earth in Iter orbit, quickening itwhen she is ap proaching them, retarding it when she is receding.”—[New Dictionaryof Physics. ELLEN. A sketch from “ Scenes andYhought.’* BY WASHINGTON IRVING. T endeavoured to learn the story of the ill-fated Ellen and the interesting mourn er whom I had beheld hovering over her ashes; and I found that they were indeed the pangs of a mother’s heart, which had caused the grief I had witnessed. . She had attended her husband abroad, through many a scene of trial and hardship ; she had dressed his wounds upon the day of battle, and she had watched over her sol dier’s lowly pallet, with firm and unre mitting tenderness ; but bis wounds were healed, and he rose from his sick bed, as* itonislied at her magnanimity, and greate- ful for her affection. They returned to gether to their native country, that they might seek a reward for their past suffer ings in the bosom of the country that gave them birth, and in the happy retirement which they best loved. Several children blessed their union ; but some were nip ped in the bud of infancy, and the rest prematurely destroyed ere yet they were fully unfolded into blossoms. One belov ed daughter—their beautiful Ellen—alone remained to them. All the tender shoots were withered, save, this one ; and her they cherished as their sole remaining pride, their only surviving prop. That child grew up all that her doting parents wished ; and lovely in mind as in person she constituted their sum of happiness on earth. But, al iss ! the sweetest and most delicate flowers are often nipped the soonest by the chill wind, or by the blight ing mildew.—Her fragile form button ea sily sunk under the pressure of disease; and like a tender reed, bent beneath its own unsopported weight. Her eves, in deed, sparkled with unusual lustre, but it was no more like tbo brilliance of health than ’he false glare of a wandering meteor resembles the clear and steady effulgence of the meridian sun ; and though a bright bloom coloured her cheek, it was not the rosy tint of vigour, but the harbinger of ap proaching ruin. The terrified parents be held with horror, the dreadful symptoms. In an agony of mind which none besides can fully appreciate, they tried all that na ture dictated, or art devised, to stop the progress of the fatal malady. But it was too late. It made rapid and gigantic strides; aud hope itself was soon obliged to drop to anguish. The lovely victim saw her fate before her, but her wings were plumed fur Heaven, and she wished not to hover long upon the earth. While her body drooped and languished, her mind became strengthened and fortified ; and the undeca ving spirit seemed to shine forth more visibly, and more beautiful, when the mortal shroud which envoloped it was gradually falling. At length life gradually waned ; until its lamp shot up one right but quivering gleam, and was then daik» ened for ever! She was dead but the rose still lived on her cheek, anil a smile still played upon the half closed lips, whose From the London Magazine ibr Jinx* Sir Jonah Barrington's Personal Sketch es of his own times. “ In the year 1800, a laborer, dwelling near the town of Airy, county Kildare; (where some of nffTamily still reside) was walking with his comrade up the banks of the Barrow to the farm of a Mr. Richard son, on whose meadow they were employ ed to mow, each in the usual Irish way, having his sythe loosely wagging over his shoulders—and lazily lounging close to the bank of the river they espied a salmon partly hid under the bank. It is the na ture of this fish, that whenever his head is concealed, he fancies no one can see his tail (there are many wise-acres besides the salmon, of the same way of thinking.) On the present occasion the body of the fish was visible. 4 Oh—Ned dear !’ said one of the mow ers, ‘look at that big fellow there; isn’t it a pity we ha’nt no speer.* 4 May be,’ said Ned, ‘we could be after piking the lad with the sythe handle. ’ 4 True for you !” said Dennis ; 4 the spike of your handle is longer than mine, give the fellow a dig with it at any rate,’ 4 Ay, will I’ return the other; ‘I’ll give the lad a prod he’ll never forget any how.’ The spike and their sport was all they thought, of, but the blade of the scythe which hung over Ned’s shoulders, never came into the contemplation of either of! them. Ned cautiously looked over the hank ; ihe unconscious salmon lay snug, little imagining the conspiracy that had been formed against him. 4 Now hit the lad smart!’ said Dennis, ‘there now—there 1 rise your fist; now you have the buy, now Ned—success!’ 4 Ned struck at the salmon with al! h!s might and main, and that was not trifling. But whether 4 the boy’ was piuked or not never appeared; for poor Ned, bending his neck as he struck at the salmon, placed the vertebrae in the must convenient posi tion for unfurnishing his shoulders, his head came tumbling splash into the Bar- row, to the utter astonishment of his com rade, who could not conceive how it could drop off so suddenly. But the next min ute he had the consolation of seeing the head attended by one of his own cars, which had been most dexterously sliced off by the same blow which beheaded his comrade : 4 The head and ear rolled down the river in company, and were picked up with extreme horror at the milldam, near Mr. Richardson’s by one of the miller’s men, * 4 Whoever owned it,’said the man, 'had 3 ears at any rate. 4 A search being now made, Ned’s head less body was discovered lying half over the bank, and Dennis in a swoon, through fright and loss of blood, was found recum bent bv its side. Dennis, when bro’t to himself, (which process was effected by whiskey) recited the whole adventue.— They tied up the head ; the body was attended by a numerous assembly of Ned’s countrymen to the grave, and the habit of carrying scythpst carelessly very much de clined.—Vol. i. pp. 124—127. A Revolutionary Relic.—Most of our readers have doubtless seen the account of the curious relic of the Republicntinn, which was picked up in a shoe-maker’s shope, on the island of Ministets, by one of the officers of the U. S. ship North- Carolina, during her late cruize. It is a picture, painted on glass and well executed hearing date, London 1775, designed by ihc artist to ridicule the patriotic spirit which had begun to shew itself, in the then colonics, in resenting the usurpations of the mother country, and purports to be a representation of a society of ladies at Edenton in this state, convened for the purpose of entering into a compact to ab stain from the use of tea and British man ufactures. The officer who found it, pre sented it to Commodore Rogers, and it was slated at the time that he intended making a present of it to the Governor of our State. We understand now, that its destiny is changed, and that the Commn- doie has given it up to the citizens of Ed enton, who naturally enough put in their claim.—Ral. Register. CITY HOTEL.

T HE want ofa work to which our planters could 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 apd 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 fa-mers to perish 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 the south in all which relates to Agriculture? Has it been that thpy alone have turned their at tention and profited by them? Not so. The Planters of of the South have been as enterpri sing ;md as active in their researches, as those of the North. But whilst the discoveries made by the latter are brought immediately into 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 our’s, and that we are at this day deficient in this branch of knowledge. Such being the case, does it not become our Planters to come forward and assist in the present undertaking and contri- tends to keep a LIVERY STABLE, where those ■ bate from time to time such information rs may who may wish to have their Horses well kept * * r * ’ may send them with confidence.

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 seren years past. As a spring or fall purifier it has given new constitutions to thousands, it is by its operation on the Blood that such surprisingcurcs have been performed in numerous diseases. The effect of this medicine is such as not to in. terrupt either business or pleasure, and require? only the common restraint of moderation in diet. It is conveyed by the circulating fluids, and cor rects their tendencies to ail those diseases which originate in vitiated blood, diseased liver, or de praved appetite. It is a safe medicine, end 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,. 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 one of the spurious mixtures made in imitation of it, iasupported by the Faculty.

October 1 42 lm a Oppe RUNAWAY T71R0M the subscriber, living in Jones couc- X tv, Georgia, a very bright mulatto Negro Woman, named ELIZAR, about 22 years old, wears her hair long with side and tucking combs, dresses very well; carried off with her, one white \ cambr * dress with iuffles round the tail, also, ' one calico dress, also ruffled round the tail, and one purple bombasine dress, trimmed round tbe tail, also one straw bonnet with a green veil o* it- I am of opinion that many persons would take her for a white lady on first appearance-*- she has a scare on one of her cheeks, (I thinh her right cheek,) occasioned as she says, from a burn. I purchased her of a Captain J. Shep herd of Edgefield, South-Carolina, in July, 1826, who informed me be purchased her in Maryland, where she may aim to go. I wish the Jailors of" this State, and all otheis,.to notice this advertiser ment particularly, for if she is carried to Jail, she may say that she belongs to some other person residing in some other state, or to some person else in this State. I-expect she Till aim to go by Augusta. She may get some person to carry her off— the scar on her cheek will delect her any where. . Any person who will apprehend her and lodge her in any Jail or deliver her to me, will be liberally rewarded. JAMES-LOCKETTV Oct. I 43 Up
