FOR THE GEORGIA COURIER. THE HERAL D’» SONG. Sir Knight from the til! an-l tournav away— Rost thy spear aiiJ thy lance fur you bower so gay ; Mount, mount thy fleet charger, fur I'm bidden to say, The maide.na and minstrel now marvel thy slay. There are lights in von castle, through bower and hall, And the banquet is waitiug thy bugle’s last call, • While every fair lady has a bright glance for thee, And the best smile of friendship, thy true greeting shall be. There's a song for the chieftain, the prize he has won, In tilt and in toureay so gallantly run; The earland wreath’d banner unfading shall wave, To welcome again the gallant and hrav e!— Then haste thee, Sir Knight, from the tournav away, Rest thy spear and thy lance for von bower so gay— Mount, mount thy fleet charger, for I’m hidden to say, The aiuidena and minstrel now marvel thy stay. FCR T1IE GEORGIA COURIER. MOONLIGHT. To be alone, when Luna walks abroad, And mantles all with pahe funereal light. And see the calm serenity of Nature- Sheds a soothing calmness o’er the sou!. ’Tm then “ the soul turns on itself And startles at destruction.” Tis then (as Byron sung) that we “ become A part of things around us,” And feel “ divinity.” which 11 moves within us. ’Tis then the hour for contemplation When abstract we may turn willtin us. •*Tis then (tempestuous passions lulled) The soul “ delights in virtue.” ’Tis th p n a sense of moral rectitude Diffuses o’er the soul a tinge of melancholy, « L : ke the remembrance of joys that are past.” Pleasing and mournful—and the retrospect Bri ngs not a thought of fearful reckoning.” ’Tts th'n the weary watchman, as he slowly treads Some old and mors-grown battlement, Thinks of his"country and in the airy battles Of his fancy, plucks a wreath of glory. ’Tis then, when silence deep and dreadful Broods o’er Nature, that the clock’s dull sound Falls on the heart, appaling and oppressive, Telling of that dread hour, when thing's. Which to “ lie resolved are hast'ning,” Sha'l find the end of being, And those vast worlds which float In th’ expanse of * ther 3hall fall i t dread confusion 'Mid last convulsive throes of Nature. MILO. The force of nature is eminently displayed in the following elegant Ballad : Till’. MOTHER AND HERCIITLI). Twas on a cliff, whose rocky base E idled the Brior wave; Whose cultur’d heights their verdant store To many a tenant gave. A mother, led hy rustic cares, Had wander’d with her child ; Unwean’d the babe—yet on the grass He frolick’d and he smil’d. With whatde : ight the mother glow’d. To mark the infant’s joy ; How oft would pause, amid her toil, To contemplate her boy. fet soon bv other cares estrang'd, Her thoughts the child forsook ; Caiele-« he wanton’d on the ground Nor caught his mother’s look. -C ;»t w as each flower that caught his eye, ’Till scrambling o’er the green; He gain’d the elifTs unsheltered edge ; And pleas'd, survey’d the scene. 'Twas now the mother from her toil, Turnd to behold her child— The urchin gone ! her cheeks were flush'd, Her wandering eye was wild ! She saw him on the cliffs rude brink— Now carlessly peeping o’er ! He turn’d, and to his mother smil’d. Then sported as before. Sunk was her voice—'twas vain to fly ; ’Twas vain the brink to brave— Oh, Nature! it w- sthine alone, To prompt the meaus to save. She tore her ’kerchief from her breast, And lai.l her bosom bate ; He saw, delighted—left the brink.; And sought tire banquet there. * .A beautiful painting of this is to be seen in Peale’s Museum, in Baltimore. GOING ABOVE BY PROXY- •By proxy I pray and by proxy 1 vote, A graceless peer said to a churchman of note, W ho answered, ‘my Lord, then I’ll venture to say, To Heaveu you’ll go—in a similar way !’ A CASE OF CONSCIENCE. By our 1’astor peiplexd, How shall Christians determine ? 'Watch and pray’—says the text ; ’Go to sleep’—says the sermon. Anecdofe of Gen. Hamilton.*— During the life lime of this distinguished stateman, a;ul while on a journey to Albany, he cii meed to put up for a night,at a tavern in one of the small villages on ihe Hudson river, where a Mountebank had advertised a display of his ingenuity at slight-of-hund, slack wire, &c. on that evening. Induced by motives of curiosity, aud a desire to while away the tedious hours of a win- ters’s evening, the General look a front seat in the apartment allotted for the per formances. His keen, piercing eye did not escape the observation of the Juggler, who going up to him, dchanding him a sil ver dollar, politely requested him to hold it lest it might escape his fingers without his knowledge. The General, thinking some harmless trick was intended, and beine desirous of humoring the joke, very readily accepted the dollar, and clenching it fast ■»’ hand, waited in momentary eipoc- ention, that I got through the perform- | bear “ the test ot human scrutiny, of tal :e much belter than I anticipated when ; ents and of time”—a private, life honor able to himself, and a public one honor union of some attempt being made to extricate it from his grasp, without his privily.—The Juggler whenever be at- neinplej to perform a new trick, would first cast an enquiring glance at the Gen eral, as much as to say, “ Bow look out for the dollar,” when the former would im mediately look in his hand, to convince hiouelf that he was yet in possession ot it. A fit the performance had ended, the Mountebank requested bis dollar of Gen. H. who on returning it, observed that he could discover no trick in it. “ 1 do, though, ” replied the Moumebank: »“ You had not been three minutes in the loom, when I perceived that if I did not do something *.o divert your attention, you would delect every trick 1 attempted; I therefore gave you the dollar to hold, and managed to have it absorb so much of your atte ance much belter than I anticip vou first fixed your eyes upon me.” Gen. H. it is said, was highly amused with this chef d' oucre of the Juggler and pronounc ed it the best “ trick” performed that evening.—Scoharie Republican. —003— CHARACTER OF BOLIVAR. It was ou the 18th of Oct. that I was introduced to Bolivar. I cannot say that I felt not, at the moment of introduction, the peculiar sensation which the presence of one who had filled the world with his deeds, naturally inspired. If I had any sentiment approaching to humility on the occassion, arising from awe inspired by the moral influenca of the man, it was dis sipated by the mode in which he received me, with a cordial downright English shake of the hand. It is the historian’s business to do justice to his general char acter, I can only describe how I saw him at a short inlet view, when not under the influence of excitement of any kind. As a man, lie had, in my view, achieved ntoie than Washington. He had delivered his country without foreign assistance, and under every possible disadvantage: No France had tendered her armies, and het wealth to aid him. No Franklins, and Henrys, and JefTersons, were at his right hand, nor the stern uncompromising vir tue of the New England race. The ig norance and the utter want of experience of those around hint, both in civil and mil itary affairs, threw every thing upon hi genius; lie dared nobly and succeeded. His talents in the field, and his invincible perseverance in spite of every obstacle, no not surpass his skill in raising resources for war,and impressing his fellow-citizens with confidence in his ability and respect for his government as a chief of the peo ple. How he kept down, and contolled faction, quelled mutinous dispositions, and. having sacrificed every shilling ol his for tune in the cause of his country’, pursua- ded others to follow his example,is a pro blem difficult to solve. In these respects no one ever surpassed him. In the move ment of larger armies, with better formed materials, he may have been excelled, but in the passive qualities of the soldier, ihe rarest found united in th military char acter few or none, have equalled him.—- Hunger, thirst, torrid, heat, mountain’s cold, fatigue, long marches (in respect of distance from Caraccas to Potosi, from the centre of the northern half of the tor rid zone almost tothe extreme limit of the southern on one occasion,) in desert and burning sands, all were borne by him and his followers with a patience never out done by similar, or any other moans, and crowned with complete success- He has been accused of his ambitions view toward absolute power, time car> alone settle this point. He has yet shown no such dispo sition, but rather the reverse. The person of this extraordinary man has perhaps been before described ; be is in make slender, but of an active and en during frame, about five feet seven inches in height; his features raiser sharp, nose aquiline, and expression firm but not strik ing in the way of intellect; moreover, Iris face generally bears marks of hardship, and is care-worm. His eyes are penetra ting rather than intelligent, and he seldom suffers a stranger lo get a view of them; at least I found in the inlervi vvs I had the honor to hold with him, that this was the case so much, that it even lessened him in my estimation,-as the habit of any one not looking you fairly in the face in society is apt to do. His brow* is wrinkled bv thought and anxiety, so much, that a scowl seems almost always to dwell upon i?. In giving an audience, sitting, as was a cus tom, lie seemed to want the easy carriage of person in such a situation, aud had an awkward custom ofpassing his hands back wards aud forwards over his knees. H IS | delivery was very rapid, but in tone monotonous, and be by no means gave a stranger an opinion favorable to his urbanity. The qualities of a stern re publican soldier must, however, be ex pected to differ from those of the courtier of the European school, who is seldom a hero; and it would be strange enough, if the person of Bolivar should not have been in any way tinctured with the stormy, war like and singular character of the chequer ed scenes he had encountered. The following is the description given of Mr. Adams iu the Address adopted by the late Administration meeting iu Louis ville : A man who from his youth, has been trained up in the politics of the country, and whose name is found every where conspicuously connected w-ith its history. A man who in his you’ll was distinguish ed for his correct habits, his assiduity in acquiring useful knowledge, whose char acter for integrity and patriotism has nev er been quesiioned by the bitterness of party spirit* A man of the first order of intellect; of long experience ; calm and deliberate iu his measures, and firm in his purpose. A man who through his whole life pub lic and private, in all its particulars, will of tal- able to our country. A man who was pronounced, more than thirty years ago, by our political fa ther, the sainted Washington, one of our most valuable characters. A man who enjoyed the confidence, and participated in the administration, of Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Mon roe, The-man who first introduced in the councils of the nation resolutions laying the foundation for a general system of in ternal improvement. A man pronounced by Monroe entitled to confidence from his long service, bis ac- kn.r.vledged'abilities, and unquestioned in tegrity. A man declared, by Gen Jackson him self, in the hour of difficulty, to be;an able helpmate, whose connexion with Mr. M otir-e’s administration would afford gen eral satisfaction. A man ofvvhom Monroe said, that what ever there was of excellence in his admin istration, was greatly to be attributed to his counsels. A man, who has been described for up wards of thirty years, bv, Mr. Jefferson as able, honest, and learned, aud one who would make a safe Chief Magistrate of the Union. It is attempted to bo impressed on the public mind by the advocates of’ General Jackson, that when Mr. Clay came to Washington in the winter of the presiden tial election, he was undetermined whether to give his vote to Mr. Adams or Gen eral Jackson, being desirous to ascertain, in the first instance, whether General Jackson, if elected, would make him Sec retary of State. How does litis square with the following sentence from General Jackson’s let’er to Samuel Swurtwout, of the 23 of February, IS25— ‘ I am well a- ware that term, “ Military Chieftain,” has,/or some time past, been a cant phrase icith Mr. Clay and certain of his friends ; but the vote with which I have been hon ored by the people, is enough to satisfy me that the prejudice which was thereby sought to be produced, has availed hut lit tle.” If Mr. Clay had been previously so industrious in his endeavours to preju dice the people against Gen. Jackson, are we to bo persj'aded that he had not made up his mind to oppose his election Lry his personal influence also 1 Is it like ly that he would make a corrupt overture to a man, whom, by his opposition, he had made his enemy 2 The advocates of Gen. Jackson count largely upon the public cre dulity, when they expect to make pros elytes by efforts like these. Peach TVine, dried Peaches, Syc.-—Re fuse peaches, or those unfit for the mark et, are valuable for drying or for making wine. The following processes are re commended by the New-England Farmer. These which are to be di ved, are to bo first split, stoned and placed n the sun.— The next day they may be turned, by placing the fruit side upwards, as they will then dry faster. Expose them on pans, boards, or the roofs of houses, du ring the day, removing from ihe dew at night. If the weather is too wet, com plete the process in a moderately heated oven.

The astonishing success which this remedy has obtained in restoring habitual inebriates to so briety, has established its virtues beyond all con- tra.iiction, and supersedes the necessity of any further comment. The remedy is as innocent as it is effectual; so much so, that it is often given to children in fe- blilo forrudamts. and freouentty ncpsa family medicine for Dyspepsia, &ic. All that is requireip to ensure its specific efiect is to abide strictly by the directions. It is put up in packages sufficient for one individual cure, a id accompanied with ample directions for its use, signed inthehand- wiitiug of the subscribers, w ithout which none are genuine. We are induced to adopt this mea sure, as in consequence of the great celebrity which Dr. Chambers’ 'medicine lias obtained, there have been, and doubtless will be, many spu rious imitations. On enclosing to us the usual price. $5. postage paid, the medicine can be sent by mail. To those who are unable to pay. on personal application of the individual at our offioe, the medicine w ill be administered gratis. JAMES H. HART, M. D. A. M. FANNING. Successors to W. Chambers.
