PROM THE MERCHANT’S TELEGRAPH.
V. S. Military Ar.adcmy, lVest Point, June 8, 1828.
To the Editor, Sir—If you deem the fallowing
:*nes worth publishing, you are at liberty to do
to ;|they were occasioned by the burial of a ca
det, as will be seen by persuing them.
Believe me, Sir, respectfully. 8ic.
HE SLEEPS ALONE!
I stood beside him while the sun
Was setting in the West;
Pouring its fading beams upqn
Banner and glittering crest.
Save from his cheek, no passer-by
His boyhood could discern,
For martial fire was in his eye,
His brow like manhood stern.
I stood beside him—and 1 drew
The veil of gauZe away;
His eyes were glaz’d—cold clammy dew
Upon his forehead lay.
Around his form I saw them twine,
The shroud in many a fold;
I touch’d his lifeless hand to mine,'
’Twas cold—'tw^s icy eoid.
1 Stood beside him—when they bore '
His body to the tomb;
Waving amid the train, I saw
Banner and sable plume.
Onward they mov’d with voices dumb,
To music slow and drear.
Heavily ro 1 d the muffled-drum,
Heavily creak’d the bier.
2 stood beside him —when they lower'd
Iliscoffin in the ground;
I heard the grating of the cord,
The fallingclods resound,
Isaw his comrades near him stand,
The parting looks they gave;
I heard the voice of low command;
The volley o’er the grave.
i stood above him—while the sun
Was setting in the West;
t saw a stone engrav’d upon,
To mark his place of rest.
I saw the long grais waving high,
1 heard the wind’s deep moan,
A voice seem’d whisp’ring in its sigh,
“He sleeps—he sleeps alone!”

SAILOR’S EPITAPH.

Weep fora seaman, honest and sincere.
.Not cast away, hut brought to anchor here;
Stor.-ts had o’erwhetmed him, but the con
scious wave
Repented, and resigned him to the grave:
In harbour, safe from shipwreck, now he lies,
dTill Time’s last signal blazes through the
[skies;
Refitted in a moment, then shall he
Sail from this pert on an eternal sea.
DUNDAS AND THE BARBER.
Before Henry Dttndas, afterwards
Lord Melville, had obtained the patron
age of Scotland, lie was not very popular
with the natives nfthat country :—indeed,
the inhabitants of the gude toon of Edin-
bro’, ai one time sought his life, and
would have sacrificed him to their fury
for having been concerned in ceriain
measures to which the general opinion
was opposed.
In this state of the public mind, he
made a visit to the Scotish capital, and
being one day recognized walking on the
t rth Bridge, or Mound, he was sur-
nded by an immense mob, who hustled
him in a very rude manner, and made
preparations for throwing him over the
parapet. Luckily, he happened to have
a considerable quantity of money in his
pocket, in the shape of notes and silver,
which he had the presence of mind to
throw, alternately, among them, so as to
divert their attention, whilst he made all
possible way for the mansion of the Lord
Provost; wheie, after great difficulty
and having disposed of his last shilling, he
arrived and found refuge and protec ion.
The mob increased, however, and sur
rounded the Chief Magistrate’s house,
crying vehemently, “Put out Dundas!
flut out Dundas!” and behaved* other-
w >- se in a very riotous manner.—at length,
too Provost fearing they would ptoceed
to extremities, came out and addressed
them on the duties of hospitality, and on
the ancient and uuiforen character of the
Sco.s for tne exercise of that virtue ; and
concluded by saying, that “ he himself
would prefer falling a victim to their fury,
than eject any person who had sought
the asylum of his roof»—This was an
appeal which no Scotchman could with
stand, more particularly as it came from
a ."J 3 ?.’ wI |°. sc amenity of character and
miid disposition hud rendered him gener-

ally beloved. Having given the Provost
three cheers, they quietly dispersed to
their houses.
Whilst he remained in Edinburgh on
this occasion, Mr. Dundas took care not
to shew himself again in the streets, but
soon took his departure for London.
Soon afterwards, being obliged to re
visit his native country, and knowing the
siorm had blown over he met with a ve
ry odd ad - enture, but one which terrified
him equally, if not more so, than that on
the North Bridge. It seems that he had
been ipcently accessary to some other ob
noxious measure ; not, however, of such
general importance as the former one ; it
was such as to keep alive the public feel
ing, though not sufficient to blow it into
actual flame. In this state of things he
arrived at an hotel in Edinburgh, and
next morning sent fora barber to shave
him.
The Tonsor, who happened to be a
wag, on entering the room, saluted Mr.
Dundas and welcomed him to Edinburgh.
Then having decorated him with an a-
pron, he began to lather his face ; during
which operation, he cast upon him sun
dry scowling and penetrating glances, the
meaning of which the stranger could not
well comprehend.—at length flourishing
his razor, he said in a sharp and stern
voice,—
“ We are much obliged to you, Mr.
Dundas, for the part you lately took in
London.”
“ What!” replied the Secretary, “you
are a politician, I find ?—I sent for a
barber
“0h, ves,” returned the knight of the
pewter basin, “ I’ll shave you directly
which he did until one half of the heard
was cleanly mowed, when, coining to his
throat he drew the back of the razor a-
crossit Saying, “ Take that, yo traitor !”
—and ofThe ran, down stairs, into the
street.
Whether Mr. Dundas had previously
felt any uneasiness at the barber’s man
ner, we know not; but the latter expres
sion—the action being so well suited to
the word,—induced him instantly to ap
ply ihe apron to his throat, and make a
loud guggling noise, which being heard
by some of the people of the house, they
immediately ran to his assistance. They
soon discovered, by the pantomimid ges
tures of Mr. Dundas, what had occurred,
and it was not long before the room was
full of members of the Faculty, of all de
grees : apothecaries, surgeons,and physi
cians! It was a considerable time before
the patient could be prevailed on to re
move the apron and expose his throat;
but at length, when he did so, with much
caution—it was found to he in a perfect
whole state ; there not. being even a scar
visible!
Though Mr. Dundas had much reason
to be delighted at having escaped unhurt,
he was not a little mortified at the laugh
which this adventure occasioned ; and
nis chagrin was greatly increased when
he found that he had to pay for the at
tendance of the medical gentlemen :—
which iiaving done, and having shaved the
other side of his face himself,—for he
would trust no more barbers,—he de
camped from Edinburgh, and did not re
turn for many years.—Clubs of London.
thy hero are poor. The high-born have
no precedence. Thestrong are powerless,
the mean content. The fair and lovely
have no followers. Soldier, she who sped
thee on thy course to-day—her blue eye
shall seek thee in the conquering ranks
to-morrow, but it shall seek thee in vain!
Well! thus it is thou shouldst have died !
—with all to live for. Wouldst thou be
base to have thy death a blessing! Proud
necks shall mourn for thee—bright eyes
shall weep for thee. They that live shall
envy thee. Death ! glory takes out thy
sting.
The shades of night are drawing on—
soldier, thine eyes are darkening. A last
ray of the sun yet lies upon the distant
bill—even as he sinks thy soul shall follow
him. See how thy steed feeds beside
thee. His dark eye falls mildly on his
master—and he pauses. Poor wretch !
thine instinct sees wrong, yet knows it not.
Browse on, and heaven which guards its
meanest creatures, send thee a kind pro
tector !
Warrior!—Ay, ihe stream of that rill
flows cool ; but thy lip no more shall
taste it. The moonlight that silvers its
white foam shall glitter on thy corslet, when
the eye is closed and dim. Lo ! now the
night is coming—the mist is gathering on
the hill—the fox steals forth to seek his
quarry—and the gray owl sweeps whirl
ing bv, rejoicing in the stillness. Oh, sol
dier !—how sweetly sounds thy lady’s lute
—how are the dew sprinkled floweis that
twine round the casement from which she
leans! That lute shall enchant thee,
those flowers shall delight thee no more.
One other charge ! Soldier, it may not
be. To thy saint and to thy lady com
mend thee ! Haik to the low trumpet that
sounds the recall / Hark to its long note
—sweet is that sound to the spent and
routed foe !
The victor hears it not. When the
breath rose that blew that note, he liv
ed—its peal has rung, and his spirit has
departed. Heath!—thou shouldst be a
soldier’s pillow. Moon! let thy cold
ight this night fall upon him. But morn
ing !—thy soft dews shall tempt him not-—
the soldier must wake no more. He sleeps
in the sleep of honor. His cause was his
country’s freedom, and her faith. He is
dead ! The cross of a Christian knight
is on his breast—his lips are pressed to his
lady’s token !—Soldier, farewell.

Southern Anti-Biiious Pills.
I T is worthy of remark, that the people of the
Southern States depend on those ofthe North,
to prescribe Anti-Bilious Pills in a climate to
which the latter are, in a great measure, stran
gers, and consequently cannot know the peculi
arities and temperament of the system of those
in Southern sections, as well as those residing

The Pills roost commonly vended at the South,
are Lee’s New London Anti-Bilious Piils, which
are, beyond doubt, excellent laxatives, and may
be sufficiently active on the bilious system for
the healthy State of Connecticut, where they
are manufactured ; but in the Southern States,
and particularly in the State of Georgia, wheie
the liver is often more or less engorged, it will
be found they have but little effect in restoring
the healthy functions of that organ.
The manufacturer of the Southern Anti-Bilious
Pills, has for several years been contemplating
a form of Pills, and has occasionally made alter
ations, until he believes he has now prepared an
Anti-Bilious Pill as well adapted to this country
as any Pills that have been, or probably will be.
invented. And in a course of a considerable
practice, he has had opportunities of conclusive
ly testing their efficacy. They are easy upon
the stomach, and unless that organ is und r con
siderable irritability, will not in the least impede
ones repose at night; and when taken at late bed
time, will not ordinarily operate till morning.—
In cases of engorgement or torpidity ofthe liver,
apd where ihe 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

THE SUNSET OF BATTLE.

Lcmtain gli arnesi, e piu Iontain 1’ usnergo !
Ariosto.
The shadows of evening are thicken
ing, twilight closes, and the thin mists are
rising in ihe valley ; the last charging
squadron yet thunders in the d'sianre, bu’
it presses only on the foiled and scatter
ed foe. For this day the fight is over !
And those who rode foremost in its
fields at morning, where are they notv ’!—
On the banks of y.in little stream there
lies a knight—his life-blood is ebbing fas
ter than its tide. His shield is rent, and
his lance is broken. Soldier, why faint
est thou? The blood that swells from
that deep wound shall answer.
It was this morning that the sun rose
bright upon his hopes—it set upon his
grave. This day he led the foremost rank
of spears, that in their long row levelled
—when they had crossed the foe’s dark
line, death shouted in the onset ! It was
’he last blow that reached him. He has
conquered, though lie shall not triumph
in the victory.
His breast-plate is dinted—his helmet,
has the trace of well dealt blows. The
scarf on his breast—she would shrink but
to touch it now, who placed it there ! Sol
dier, what will thy mistress say ? She will
say that her knight died worthily.
Ay, rouse thee—for the fight si ill chafes
in the distance ! Thy frieuds are shout
ing—thy pennon floats on high. Look
on yon crimson field, that seems to mock
the purple clouds above it!—prostrate
they lie, drenched in their dark red pool,
—thy friends and enemies—the dead and
dying! The veteran, with the stripling
ot a day. The nameless trooper and the
leader, of an hundred hosts. Friend lies
by friend. The steed with his rider. And
foes linked in their long embrace—their
first and last—the gripe of deatb.
Far o’er the field they lie, a gorgious
prey to ruin ! \\ hite plume and steel
morion ; sabre and staghan, crescent and
cross, rich vest and bright corslets—we
came to the fight, as we had come to a
feasting—glorious and glittering, even in
death, each shining warrior lies.
His last glance still seeks that Chris
tian banner The cry that shall never be
repeated cheers on its last charge. Oh,
but for strength to reach the field once
more!—to die in the foe’s front! Peace
dreamer ! Thou hast done well. Thy
place in the close rank was filled—and
yet another waits for his who holds it.
Knight, hast thou yet a thought—bend
it on heaven ! The past is gone ; the fu
ture lies before thee. Gaze on yon gor
geous sky—home should lie beyond it!
Life—honor—love—they pass to Him
that gave them. Pride—that came on

There is nothing truly valuable in
tins life but superiority—not that su
periority which the world can deprive
us of, but that only which God can he-
SiOtv, and He only take away—ihe supe
riority of mind. Wealth is the result of
care and prudence, and constant watch
ing; &, no one was ever distinguished by
genius, who pursued the road that leads
toil. It may he lost in a moment, and
with it nil the .advantages which it gave,
and all it possessed. No man can have
a control over it, or is able to secure it a-
gainst the chances of war, pestilence or
conflagration. But the mindiis above all
chauceand.all accident. Martyrdom may
bring the b aly to the block, but no human
power can touch the mind.
A Yankee sfchoolmaster, having tired
liis-^rj-t/'mts out in a country village, was
packed off before the end of his term,
with no money in his pocket, but with a
recommendation which they gave him,
out of charity. He journeyed to New-
hiirypmt (as the story goes) and showing
his recommendation, undertook there to
teach a tribe of young ideas how to shoot,
for five hundred dollars a year—at the
end of ihe first year, if he was liked, to
have seven hundred, instead of fi ve, and
be engaged for another year. At the end
ot the year—of course they did n< t like
him (who would, if two hundred dollars
were to be paid for it?) Our Yankee
was dreadfully distressed—all his pros
pects in life were destroyed ; and so, to
make all smooth, instead of splitting the
difference, they gave him a certificate of
good behavior, accompanied with a
hearty acknowledgment of their entire
satisfaction with his procedure, j&c. &c.
&c. as a teacher. “ Very well,” said
the \ankee, as soon as he had secured
the paper. “ And now gentlemen, as I
have your own acknowledgment of my
worth in this behalf, I’ll trouble vou for
them are two hundred dollars.” " They
were obliged to “shell out”—and our
Yankee removed to Boston, where with
his cash and his recommendation, he was
soon at the head of another school.

Affliction is the school in which great

The happiness of every man depends
more on the state of his mind, than on

An inviolable fidelity, good humor, and
complacency of temper, outlive all the
charms of a fine face, and make the de
cays of it invisible.
The Subscribers propose publishing a Literary
Miscellany under the above title, which will he
issued weekly in Quarto numbers of eight pages
each; and which it will be their earnest endea
vor to render worthy of public patronage; and a
vehicle both of instruction and entertainment to
their readers. Moral and Literary Essays, Crit
icism, Romance and Poetry, together with the
latest intelligence on Scientific and Political sub
jects, will form the principal matter of its pages.
“ The Tablet” shall be devoted to the cause
of good Morals, and of sound Literature and
Taste. Above all, it will be the object ofthe Ed-
itois to encourage the efforts and do justice to
the claims of native genius, and show that the
natural products of our own soil, want but the fa
voring warmth of local attention, to render unne
cessary much that is furnished us from abroad.
We invite the contributions of such of our
friends as may be inclined to favor a work like
the one we propose ; and while we determine to
to be rigidly scrupulous in regarding the mate
rials offered us for publication, we promise to ex
ercise no undue severity to what we may reject,
and to extend the utmost indulgence to the effu
sions of merit.
For the Ladies there shall be a department

O*. 22 48 tf
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 whining voice, and is very in-
tv lligent. His skin is remarkably smooth and
without a scar that I know of. He reads, and
writes a 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 he
may assume some othev. He may possibly aim
for Nbwberry Dist., S. C. as it is said he was rais
ed tnere ; 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 bis apprehension.
