swg* LINES.
Mark that young and beauteous form,
Sweet as the budding flow’r,
O’er it affliction’s with’ring storm
In vain exerts its power.
See that heav’n-expanded brow
Unwrinkled yet by care;
Tis like the pure untrodden snow,
As spotless and as fair.
Behold that eye of sparkling jet,
With peerless radiance bright;
The f- lling tear of deep regret
Has not yet dimm’d its light.
But all those charms, alas! how vain
’Gainst Heaven’s stern decrees!
That form, ere long, is rack’d by pain,
And doom’d to fell disease,
That brow’s o’erspread by clammy sweats—'
That eye is sunk in gloom—
Iler feeble pulse but slowly beats,
While Death prepares the tomb. It.

THE LAY OF POOR LOUISE.
AII, poor Louise! The live-long day
. 3ho roams from cot to castle gay;
And still her voice and viol say,
Ah maids, beware the woodland way,
Think on Louise.
Ah, poor Louise! The sun was high,
It smirch’d hel 1 cheek, it diinm’d her eye,
The woodland walk was cool and nigh,
Where birds with chiming streamlets vie
To cheer Louise!
Ah, poor Louise ! The savage bear
Made ne’er that lovely grove his lair;
The wolves molest not paths so fair—
But better far had Such been there
For poor Louise.
Ah, poor Louise! In woody wold
She met a huntsman fair and bold,
His ■•aldrick was of silk and sudd,
Anti many a witching talc he told
To poor Louise.
Ah, poor Louise! small cause to pine
Hadst thou for treasures of the mine;
For peace of mind, that gift divine,
And spotless innocence, were thine.
Ai), poor Louise 1
AJ>, poor Louise! Thy treasure’s reft!
I know not it by force or theft,
Or part by violence, part by gilt;
But misery is all that’s left
To po*r Louise.
Let poor Louise some succour have !
She will not long your bounty' crave,
Or tire the gay with warning stave-—
For Heaven lias grace, and earth a grave
For poor Louisa.

Touch big Memorial of Affection.—Th e
late bishop Heber, in the narrative of his
journey through the upper province of his
diocese, relates that one of his boatmen
every day set apart a certain portion of
his rice, and bestowed it on the birds, say
ing, “ It is not I but my child that feeds
yon.” He had lost an only son some
years before ; And the boy having been
in the custom of feeding the birds in this
way, the parent never omitted doing so at
sunset in his name.

THE HORSE.
We cannot do a greater service than by
aiding to correct some of the common
errors relative to the care and treatment
of this invaluable animal—This is the at
tempt of the following extract, which is
taken from the N, E. Farmer : we com
mend it to the attention of every man who
owns, or is ever likely to own a horse.
STABLING.
As to how the Horse should be confin
ed in the stable. The universal practice
in M assaebusetts, as in most other places
is to tie him in a narrow stall with his
fore feel higher than his hind ones. In
some stables the declivity is very consid
erable. It is my opinion, that if there | p e d his head into them as if overwhelmed
qiust be a declivity, it should be forwards. ; bv the dreadful contemplation. On com-
BURKE.
The celebrated Edmund Burke was
one of the members appointed by the
House of Commons to enforce the char
ges of crime against Mr. W. Hastings, and
one day, when he had been pouring out
all his splendid talents in a rich display of
oratory against the accused, he addressed
the splendid assembly of peers, ladies and
gentlemen, before him, in the following
terms : “ When I look round this glori
ous circle, bright with all that is high in
rank, and all that is powerful in talent,
ail that is amiable in virtue, all that is
brilliant in beauty, aud then turn my eyes
to the criminal at the bar, my mind is
convulsed with horror, and I si;ken at
the sight.” The orator then placed his
hands on the table before him, and drop-
A horse worked every day on a fast trot
over a hard road, as a coach horse, suff
ers euough in his fore-feet when ho is
sound. One of the first signs of incipient
disease in litem, or rather of the crowded
state which precedes disease is his
throwing his weight as much as he can on
his hind legs. I am inclined to doubt the
fact of his preferring to stand up hill un
der such circumstances. One reason for
such an opinion is the manner in which
his weight is thrown on his toes when he
stands, up hill, even if heels are raised.
Another great disadvantage of his stand
ing so is that he throws the whole weight
of his forehead upon the same muscles and
tendons he uses most in draught. It is
certainly of importance, that if he must
have an unnatural strain any where when
he is not at work, it should not be where
the strain must be when he is. It is a
vast comfort to a horse to be kept in a
box. lie should be able to choose his
own position, at least to sleep iu, and te-
lieve what muscles, he wishes. In a stall,
he must sleep, through life, with his head
held in the air, and his legs under his bo
dy. His getting cast in a box is not a
common occurrence. Ten feet square
will do well ; if lie cannot have a larger
one. In a box he is freed from the tor
ment of hearing walking and talking be
hind him-
FEEDING.
As how he should be fed. I have ne
ver yet met with a person having the
charge of horses, who in my opinion at
Inched sufficient importance to the impro
priety of allowing a horse his usual allow
anco of corn when suffering from cold.—
Not only is the corn thrown away, but it
must always do him some harm, and may
do him a great deal.* Many horses that
suffer from a thickening of the windpipe,
a disease for which we have here no name,
many that aro broken-winded, many that
are rounded in their feet, may have it as
cribed to being fed on severe colds. The
corn increases tho disorder of the system
by the difficulty with which it is digested,
and when digested, it exaggerates what
tendancy may exist to local inflamation.
Oats are tfie least dangerous cofir. they
being so very light. There is another re
mark, which I would make which is, that-
no horse should he fed higher than usual,
when forced to any accidential v iolent ex
ertions. He never ought to be forced to
any, which he has not been in some degree
prepared f< r ; and his’ability to make if,
should be looked lor, from tho previous
preparation, not from any unusual means
of supporting hisstrengli. Oats appear to
to be the corn best suited to a horse’s
stomach ; but he wants something better
than oats for full work.
There is to an experienced eye, a
particular lightness and hollowness be
tween the hip joint and the stifle joint
in worked horses that get nothing hetier
than oats, which is not to bo seen in those
that gpt indian corn. As I observed in
my last communication there is a great
difference, generally, in the constitution
of the round chested, and the deep and
narrow horse. The first has a much more
comfortable one to deal with ; the other
is often stronger, faster and better winded
but varies infinitely from day to day ;
feels the season more ; is not so good a
feeder ; nor ought he to be ; for his sto
mach is weaker and more readily oppres
sed.
WORKING.
As to how he should be worked. It is
a common practice in Massachusetts to
water horses just before they leave the
stable.—This is ridiculous ; but a worse
practice is to water them during their
stage; which last is universal. They un
questionably may become accustomed to
it as to any thing else ; but it injures ma-
.t is a-: o—— :
ately, and thrown into a new perspiration,
it may possibly prevent the water from
injuring them, but I entirely question the
fact of its lessening the fatiguing effects of
their work. I know that it is hard to lire
a pedestrian that will drink but little ;
aud that if he is to walk all the day, every
tumbler of water, drunk when hot, takes
2 or three miles from a pedestrian’s day’s
work. It is also a common practice to
drive horses through a stream of water
when they are hot, to refresh them. The
immediate effect, unquestionably, is to re
fresh them; but they soon feel an increa
sed stiffness from it. It is the practice of
some people to tio them up after they
come in, in the strongest draught of air
which can he found, (a damp brick yard
where the sun never shines is still better J
and wash their legs with cold water.—
This is going for the whole. The unir
versal manner in which coach horses are
driven in Massachusetts is reprehensive
They are started off at a pace much fas
ter than they are expected to hold, and
continually galloped for short distances,
when the pace at which they are expect
ed to perform their stage does not exceed
six or seven miles in the hour. I do not
believe that occasionally galloping relieves
the horses in slow coaches, where the hills
do not render it necessary. I believe
they should always be driven as nearly
as possible at the same pace ; and it cer
tainly has a much more coachmanlike ap
pearance,
ingout of Westminster Hall, after this
splendid oration, Burke could not find his
carriage, and Lord Yarborough’s having
just drawn up, tho Peer offered to take
him home. The ebullition of Burke’s
mind had not subsided, and on the way,
without considering the indelicacy of ap
pealing to one who was ultimately to pro
nounce judgment in the case, he proceed
ed to re-urge the arguments of his speech
on his noble audit r, concluding with the
eager inquiry, “ D-> you not think this a
great criminal ?’ Lord Yarborough,
whose correctness of intellect was known
to all who had the opportunity of knowing
him, immediately answered—“ Burke, all
I can say at presept is, that either you or
Hastings deserve to be hanged ; but I
caunot now tell which of the two.”
Sir Henry Steuart of Scotland, asserts
from personal experience, that large for
est and ornamental fruit trees may, by
care, proper preparation and gentle treat
ment, be transplanted with perlect cer
tainty of their continued prosperity and
without mutilation, and the larger the tree
the more readily does it flourish in its lo
cation, deriving even advantages from
changing the exposuro of the side.
It is requisite however, that the tree
bo deracinated during the winter, with as
many roots perfect as possible—conveyed
gently to its new habitation and comforta
bly lodged and carefully provided for ;
witli this view a writer in Blackwood,
thus concludes an article upon Sir Hen
ry Sieuart’s plan.—U. S. Gaz.
“ We believe we are correct when we
say, that Sir Henry has repeatedly remov
ed the same tree without the least detri
ment. The operation of removal is in
deed so gentle that the tree, which is in
one sense asleep not having awoke to
to spring, knows no more about it, than
yon yourself, gentlo reader, would kilO’.v
about it, were you to be lifted up out of
your bed, at midnight, and laid into ano
ther, with softer and deeper leathers, and
an additional pair of the finest and lightest
blankets. The old prejudice about the
impossibility of unrooting a great tree,
must, however venerable and poetical,
give’way ; nothing is so easy, and it costs
but a mere trifle. Formerly you kept
pulley hailing him by a hundred ropes and
cranes and laid the axe to his roots with
out mercy, and no wonder he groaned,
shrieked out, and died. Now you han
dle him as gentle as a flowerstalk, aiid
remember that he is a tree belonging to a
Christian Community. You do not call
upon him to perform impossibilities—to
keep alive aud grow after you have muti
lated all its members—io produce leaves
without twigs—and to make timber v ith-
out branches : but you merely expect him
to look cheerfully and content, to eat the
pabulum you have, gathered around him,
within easy reach of his mouths, and to
make wood when the sun shines. He
never dreams of refusing to comply with
a request so kind and reasonable and ac
cordingly adds several cubits to his statire
every year ; and in the leafy month of
June is so umbrageous that you cannot see
the crow’s nest.
Excellent Custom—It would be very
convenient to many persons in this coun
try, whose time is too valuable to be wast
ed on tho garriuloos and long-winded vis
itor, if the custom mentioned in the fol
lowing brief extract were as allowable
here as in India : “ !n Europe it is usual
to wait till the visitor rises before the cer
emony ends ; in the East the master of
the house determines the length of the visit,
by ordering spices, perfumes, and pan
(the loaf eaten by the Indians, after their
meals) to be brought, which he presents
with his hand, the leaf alwavs being pre
sented last Dy mo iiusi io 'me principal
guest. When perfumes and pan are not
at hand ( vhich is sometimes the case in
camp, and at the houses of Europeans),
the visit is brought to a close by the mas
ter of the house observing, he hopes to see
his guests soon again some other time,
and by apologizing for not having the u-
sual spices.”

PROSPECTUS.
4 LTHOUGH not among the number of those
who believe that the time will arrive, when
human passions and human infirmity will cease
to darken the understanding, and interrupt the
happiness of man, we are, nevertheless disposed
to view the advances which have been made in
the arts most conductive to general happiness,
as the- certain precursors ,'f still greater efforts to
cultivate the fields of Literature, and extend the
boundaries of Science.
Among the means most conducive to the mor
al and intellectual improvement of mankind, the
Press, it will be admitted, stands pie-eminent.—
By its ceaseless energy, information, adapted to
every capacity, is diffused through every class ;
the public mind is awakened ; collision of opin
ion strikes out the fire of genius; and talent
which, without its agency, would have remained
unknown, is stimulated into action for the public
good.
But, although the art of printing has unlocked
the stores oflearning, and renderud that aerrs-
sible to all which before was the privilege of the
few, theie is one peculiarity which marks the
present age more than any that has preceded it.
It is the adaptation of scientific and literary pro
ductions to the wants and the capacities of the
great body of the community, by the circulation,
not of folios and quartos fitted only for the
learned, but of -periodical publications, moulded
into every shape, filled with every variety of mat
ter, and diffusing their influences through all
the avocations of life.
To contribute to this general ciro«U«;„.
useful information, and add to tho amount of
iiterary effort, i* the object of this Paper.
I< will readily be perceived that it is our in
tentiou to avoid intermingling with party or re
ligious controversy ; and to pursue a path which
in this District, it is believed is still unoccupied.
\Ve shall notice, in a condensed form, what
ever occurrences may appear most important,
whether foreign or domestic. The proceedings
of the National Legislature and the acts of the
executive of the Union, will receive due atten
tion. In presenting a view of them, however,
to our rea ers, we shall endeavor to avoid the
prolixity of detail, and communicate such general
results as may be3t exhibit the internal condition
of the country and our relations with foreign
Powers.
The must valuable information will be sought,
in the Natural History, Resourcs, and Produc
tions, ofour Country.
Whilst avoiding political discussions, whose
only aim is the advancement of some, and tht-
prostraction of others, wc shall neither be inat
tentive to the practical effects ofour Republican
Institutions, nor unmindful of the efforts demand
ed from every citizen, for the maintenance ofthe
principles of freedom. Generaland enlightened
discussions in political science-of all sciences the
most important to the temporial happiness of
man—will therefore receive merited attention.
Agricultui e and Manufactures w'ill occupy a
prominent place: on these subjects it will be our
oiiject to elicit and present information which
may be practically useful; embracing interesting
discussions ; and exhibiting plans, estimates, and
ieasongs, tending to show the means by which
labor may be most advantageously applied.
Biographical Sketches, interesting Anecdotes,
and the chaste productions of poetic genius will
not be overlooked. Whilst essays, original or
selected, whnsc ts,,deucy may be to elevate the
moral feeling, and unfold the principles of action,
will form one of the most interesting, as well as
useful, portions of our Miscellaneous Depart
ment.
We shall notice, with impartiality and candor,
the he.-t publications of the day: and although
prevented by our limits from indulging in the
amplitude of the professed Reviewer, w-e shall
endeavor to lighten the labor ef the student by
directing his attention to what may appear most
valuable, and present a summary which may,
perhaps, he useful to the more cursory reader.
In making this attempt, we may over-rate our
ability, hut not, we are pursuaded, the disposi
tion of the public. No paper devoted exclusive
ly to the objects we have unfolded is now in ex
istence within this District. Political Journals,
of greater or less ability, alieady exist: But that
portion of the community who may desire to
blend the agreeable w ith the useful; the man of
business, who may wish to devote his moments
of relaxation to subjects more engaging than par
ty rancour and legislative discussion; even the
legislator and politician, who may at times be
willing to retreat from the stormy field of politi
cal warfare, into the elegant parterre of litera
ture and science ; will seek in vain for a periodi
cal publication, indigenous to this District, in
which ihe mind can find the object of pursuit.-—
If, therefore, we mistake not the disposition of
our fellow citizens, the establishment of a paper
like the one now proposed, is earnestly looked
for as n desideratum.
To carry our plan into effect, we shall supply
ourselves with the best periodicals of the day,
and have obtained such co-operation in the Edi
tor ialDe; artment as, we hope, will justify us in
asking the patronage of the public.

R ANAWAY from the subscriber’s plantation
in Richmond County, Geo. on the 18th
inst., my negro man, TOM, who is about 30
years of age, upwards of 6 feet high, very black,
broad face—-of good form and countenance—
speaks with a fine w hining voice., and is very in
ti Uigent. His skin is remarkably smooth and
without a scar that I know of. He reads, and
writes s». good hand. He has sufficient wit to
write himself a pass or even free papers. He
has heretofore uniformly signed his name Thomas
B- Davis ; but as he is such an arch-villain ho
may assume some othei. He may possibly aim
for Newberry Dist., S. C. as it is said he was rais
ed there ; but it is equally probable that he may
aim for the seaboard to escape to some distant
place. Wherefore Captains of vessels are cau
tioned against receiving such fellow under any
pretext, as the law will be rigidly enforced.
Should he still be lurking about Augusta, and is
taken so that I get him, I will give a reward of
Ten dollars for his apprehension.

Southern Anti-Bilious Pills.
T is worthy of remark, that the people ot the
Southern States depend on those of the North,
to prescribe Anti-Cilious Fills in a climate to
which the latter are, in a great measure, stran
gers, und consequently cannot know the pei Hil
arities and temperament of the system of tin t.
in Southern sections, as well as those residing
there.
The Pills most commonly vended at the Sontr.
are Lee’s New London Anti-Bilious Phis, ivhici
arc, beyond doubt, excellent laxatives, and may
be sufficiently active on the bilious system f-
the healthy Stat-- of Connecticut, where t!
arc manufactured; but in the Southern 8t.ite;
and particularly in the State of Georgia, whei
the liver is often more or less engorged, it "i
be found they have but > it tic effect in restoring
the healthy functions of that organ.
Tlx* manufacturer of the Southern Anti-Bihoir
Fills, has for several years been contemplating
a form of Pills, and has occasionally made alter
ations, until he believes he has now prepared na
Anti-Bilious Fill as well adapted to this c»untr,
as any Pifts that have been, or probably H !i ‘
invented. And in a course of a considerable
practice, he has had opportunities ofco r ‘ c b ,s ' T,c '
iy testing their efficacy. They * re easy upof
the stomach, and unless that organ is un- 1 r con
siderable irritability, will not in the least impede
ones repose at night; and when taken at late beu
time, will not ordinarily operate till morning.—
In cases of engorgement or torpidity ofthe liver
and where the spleen is affected, they will be
found equal, if not superior, to any form of laxi-
tive that can be given.
A supply ofthe above mentioned Pills,just re
ceived and for sale at the AUGUSTA BOOK-
