WheRtroubles roll across my path,
That’s made to wander far from thee;
Or fierce disasters ride in wrath,
Oh * w ho will shed a tear for use 1
When far away I friendless roam,
The hapless child of destiny;
When oft I mourn my early home,
Oh ! who will shed a tear for me ?
When o’er the billows deaf’fling roar,
I’m toss*d and toss d from sea to sen ;
When pain and want afflict me sore,
Oh ! who will shed a tear for me 1
When ’mid the cares and toils oflife,
I run to meet the last decree;
When Death shall end each woe Ind strife,
Ob! who shall shed a tear for me 1
When in the cold and lowly sod,
My wearied soul from grief set free,
Shall haste to meet ber coming God,
Oh! who will shed a tear for me 7

PlETY.
HJfce fairest blossom ever seen,
Whate’er that blossom be,
That grows on meadow- fresh and green,
Or blushes on some tree,
.Soon loses all the vernal dews,
That in its cap are found ;
Its odors vanish, and its leaves
Pall withered to the ground.
$o youthful charms attract the eye.
And oft engage the heart;
dtaou the graceful form decays,
And all its chaims depart.
One precious flower is said to grow,
Whose beauties never die;
^"is piety, which buds beiow,
And blooms beyond the sky. V• H. 0.

THE PINE TREE.
2 came to the place with a Pilgrim’s devtoion,
"VVhare the days of my Childhood and youth paasod away |
/ind saw the blest spot with a tea ful emotion,
411 covered with ruins of time and decav.
The last rays of light o'er the Wando had faded.
The birds were al! hush'd 'neath the moon’s silver beam,
Not a zeplr r of eve faun’d the long moss that shaded
The old scutched Pine Tree—that grew by the stream.
The time beaton Pine Tree—the moss cover’d Pine Tree,
The old ragged Pine Tree, that grew by the stream.
When 1 thought of the past how like a wild vision,
doom'd the life time I spent, near that Tree in its bloom,
With friends w hom l lov’d and with feelings Elysian,
That the dark w ing of Time has swept to the tomb.
These, these are all past, as the dim retrospection.
Of times and of seasons we could rot redeem;
Cut the Barn Yard—the Duck Pond, bring a new recollec
tion
Of the old scatched Pine Tree that stands by the stream,
The time beaten Pine Tree—the moss covor'd Pine Tree,
The old ragged Pine Tree that itaudsby the stream.
Still, still I will love thee, thou old ecatchcd Pine Tree,
And those w ild naked limbs, whicblhe winter blasts wave
’Tid the cold hand of fate shall in mercy consign me,
To moulder like thee, in the shade of the grave,
And whilst to the vale of oblivion dccending,
A moon-betm of hope, o’er the traveller shall gleam,
’i’w ill be like that faint emblem, oflife never ending,
On the old scatch'd Pine Tree, that greiv by the stream.
The time beaten Pine Tree—the moss coier’d Pina Tree—
The old ragged Pine Tree, that grew by the stream.

CENTRE OF GRAVITY.
A hotly, we have seen, is tottering in
proportion as it lias great altitude and nar
row base, bu: it is the noble prerogative
and distinction of man to be able to sup
port his towering figure on a very narrow
base u-iih great firmness. This faculty is
acquit ed slowly, because of the difficulty
A child does well wno walks at ihe end
of ten or twelve months ; u ti le the youug
^uadiupeds which have a broad support,
learn to stand and move almost at ouce.
The supporting base of a man consists
of tho fee’, and ihe space between them.—
The advantage of turniug out the toes is,
that without taking much from the length
of the base, it adds a good deal to the
breadth of it.
“ If there be art in walking on two per
fect feet, there must be still greater art in
waUktng on two wooden legswiih narrow
found extremities. This we see done
nevertheless, by many mutilated soldiers
and sailors.
“ But surpassing in difficulty any of
these instances in *he practice of walking
on stilts, which is general among the in
habitants of the sandy plains in the South
west of France, called Les Landes.—
'These plains afford tolerable pasture for
sheep ; but during one season of the year
they are half cowed with water, and du
ring the other, it is most fatiguing to walk
upon them, by reason of their deep loose
sand and thick furze. The natives les
sen the annoyance from all these causes,
by lengthening their natural legs above
five feet, through the addition of the stilts
mentioned, which they call des-echasses.
These are wooden poles attached to the
legs, and put on end ofl" as regularly as o-
ther parts of the dress. Raised upon
them, the people appear to strangers a new
and extraordinary race of long-legged be
ings; they march ovei the loose sand or
ihrough the water without inconvenience,
with steps of eight or ten feet in length ;
their walking speed is that of a trotting
horse , and they easily perform a journey
of thirty or forty miles in a day. The
shepherds, while watching their charge,
post themselves in convenient stations,
and with a long staff supporting them be-
hiud, and their rough sheepskin cloak and
cap covering them above like a thatched
roof, they have the appearance of httte
watch towers, or singular lofty tripods
scattered over the face of the country.”
Twe thirds of our ordinary motious are
governed by the habitual necessity we
find of preserving the centre of gravity.
*’ When a man rises from a chair, be Is
seen first to bend the body forward, so as
to bring the centre of gravity over the
feet or base, and then he lifts it up. If
he lift too soon, that is before the body
be sufficiently advanced, he falls back a-
gaiii.
*' A man standing with his heels close to
a perpendicular wall, cannot bend for
ward to pick op any thing that lies on the
ground, near him, without himself falling
forward, because the wall prevents him
from throwing part of his body backwards
to counterbalance the head and arms that
must project forward. A man little vers
ed in such matters, offered ten guineas
for permission to try, under these circum
stances, to possess himself of a purse of
201. laid before him ; he of course lost
his money.”
" The painful affection called sea sick
ness, has a relation to this topic. Man
requiting always to maintain his perpen
dicularity, insensibly regulates and ascer
tains that point by the fixed and known
position of objects about him.
“ lienee on shipboard, where the lines
of masts, windows, furniture &c. are con
stantly changing, sickness, vertigo, and
other affections of the same class, are
common to persons unaccustomed to ships.
Many experience similiar effects in car
riages and in swings, or in looking from a
lofty precipice; where, known objects be
ing distant and viewed tinder a new as
pect, are not so readily recognized ; also
in walking on a wall, on a roof, in looking
directly up to a roof, or to the stars i* the
zenith, because then all standards disap
pear ; on walking into a round room,
where (here are no perpendicular lines of
light and shade,as when the walls and roof
are covered with a spotted paper without
regular arrangement of spots ; on turning
round, as in walizing, or on a wheel; be
cause the eye is no* then allowed to rest
on the standards, &c.”
The author, hov ever, observes with
truth, that sea sickness also arises from
the irregular pressure of the bowels against
the diaphragm, *?s '.heir merits varies with
the rising and falling of the ship. There
can be no doubt of this fact, inasmuch as
that manv persons who can resist the feel
ing of Vertigo on board ship find the stom
ach affected (long before sickness takes
place) with flatulency, or what is called
heart burn.

ber, 1827, enact <• that all that portion of the
Cherokee Nation lying within the following lines
shall be attached to, and become a part of the
county of Carrol, for the purpose of giving crimi
nal jurisdiction to the said county of Carrol, un
der the several laws heretofore passed for the
trial of offences committed in the Cherokee or
Indian Nation, to wit: —Beginning at Buzzard
Roost and running thence on the old path that
leads to one Sally Hughes’s, thence on the main
public road to the Georgia line dividing Georgia
from Alabama, and thence on that line to where
the same intersects the county line of Carrol,”
and “ all that portion of the unlocated territory
of this State lying North of the aforesaid line and
South of the Hightower trail, be added to the

jurisdiction, and that all crimes and misdemean
ors committed on any part o the aforesaid terri
tory by or against any citizen of this State or of

And whereas the remnant of the Cherokee
tribe of Indians yet remaining on the territory a-
bove described, (being a portion of the territory
formerly setapartlor the use of that tribe as hun
ting ground) have formed and published a Con
stitution of Government, professed to be indepen

which the right of the Indians to the soil and to
the jurisdiction over ail persons and thrngs within
the before described territory belonging to this
State, and now for the purposes al'resaid form
ing parts of the counties of Carrol and De Kalb,
is asserted, and p.ovision contemplated for the
punishment before Indian tribunals of those of
fences which the courts of the said counties are
alone competent to decide ; I have thought pro
per to issue this my Proclara ition. giving notice

General Assembly, for the benefit and protection
of all citizens of the State and of the United
States in their persons and property who may be
permanently or transiently upon the territory
aforesaid ; warning all persons whatsoever to

justice ; enjoining it upon all Judges, Justice’s of
the Iiferior Courts and of the Peace, to see that
in that territory the laws of the State are respect
ed and obeyed; commanding ali Sheriffs and
their deputies, Coroners and Constables, faithful
ly and rigorously to execute their duties, th? At
torney and Sol.citors General earnestly to prose
cute all persons charged with offences within the

diligently to enquire, and faithfully to present all

EMBELLISHED WITH SPLEKDID ENGRAVINGS.
T HF patronage that has already been extend
ed to the Casket, has not only exceeded
our most sanguine expectations, but, if we mis
take not, is unprecedented in the annals of
monthly literature. This success has induced us
to give the work a more attractive form for the
present year, as well in its literary department,
as well as in its decorations and typographical
arrangements. A new font of type has beeu pro
cured, upon which it is printed; the size and
number of the pages are to be considerably ex
tended and they are also enlarged, and paper
superior to that formerly used, is employed in its
publication ; meantime, that every department
may exhibit a corresponding degree of improve
ment, arrangements having been entered into
with artists, for various decorations and orna
ments. The usual number of copper-plates will
be found, and it is proposed to furnish each num
ber with two wood engravings, instead of one, as
heretofore. The wood engravings representing
scenes, or referring to incidents familiar or inter
esting to most of our readers, will be accompani
ed by well written description of events and ex
hibitions connected with the picture—each re
flecting upon the other's interest and value.
It is our desire to render the Casket interesting
to the various classes of readers to whom periodi
cal literature generally addresses itself; and we
shall feel called upon to search, with renewed at
tention and assiduity, for the most interesting
contents of foreign Magazines, while a proper
inducement will be held out for native writers to
contribute a portion of their labors to enrich our
Casket. ,—
These regulations can be effected withoutaJiy-
sacrifice of that light reading, and general maga
zine of small paragraphs, that must enter into
all literary works; inasmuch as the size of the
work will be very considerably enhanced—its
contents, tbesefore, assumes a more diversified
form, and boasts an increase of solid matter.
The price of the Casket will be $3 60 per an
num, payable within three nrmths after the re
ceipt of the first number—but, if the subscription
is paid in advauce, $2 50 will be received as pay
ment in full.
The arrangements which we have made for the
publication of the Casket, warrant os in assuring
its patrons, that it shall equal, in attraction, any
work of the kind that has been published ; wit le
its price is scarcely half that of the most ordinary
monthly publications.
Those who wish ,o patronize the work will
please to iutimate theit wishes by sending us the
subscription iu advance—the increasing expenses
of the paper, printing, engravings, Sic. render it
absoluteiy necessary for us to be furnished with
the means of meeting expenditures promptly.

It may be well to state, that the “ Casket for
1827,” forms a distinct volume—price $2 50;
it contains thirty-six splendid engravings, with
nearly 500 pages of letter-press printing, consti
tuting one of the cheapest publications in the U.
States. A few of the numbers can be s pplied to
fnture subscribers.
