Pointer-—''V.iit attitude will you be painted io, miss *
I,adyj—Blue attitude, sir.
I saw her picture ’Twas*ynung,
pair creature, with a mantle flung
About her gracefully. The light
Pell on a brow of spotless white,
Slept on her breast in cal n repose,
As if the very sun and air
Could think it blest to slumber there.
Her mouth would craze you; Love and graces
Alone should know of such sweet places:
It is the ripest, rosiest mouth.
That ever shamed the scented south—
It had no corners—dimples deep,
Like nests to pat her smiles to sleep.
Usurp’d them all—You’d long to die
Among those dimples like a sigh—
Or be the leaf her lip had bit——
Or the last word to lie on it.
I saw the lady. ‘I should know
’Twas she’—the painter told me so—
Her mouth was like an awkward gash
Just made upon a winter squash ;
Her eye was black—but you would doubt
The socket must have turn’d it out;
Her face was not of just the dye
To make ? contrast for the eye—
’Twas like an ink spot on a drum—
Or like a facethatyou would make
With two black buttons and a cake.

Now'did you ever?’ ‘Pnn mv word,
Poor human nature grows absurd !
To make a shrew look melancholy—
To take them all—Tom, Bob, and Sal.

CASSIUS.
From the N. Y. American;
"Oh well ipay poets make a fuss
?n summer time, and sigh , O ms!’ "
Ye city bards take down your lyres,
The country c aims your t'ogrel song;
For Sol has lit his summer tires.
And roasts once more the languid throng.
White hats and drillings are in fashion,
And freckles have resumed their reign;
The lover owns a warmer passion,
And dreams of darts and flames again.
Sing ye the praise of trees and flowers,
And tune your melody sublime,
To Ballston’s famed cathartic powers,
Soda and carbonate of lime.
Or bid your wayward fancies roam
To Saratoga’s nobler fountain.
And build awhile your airy home
On Catskll’s cloud enshrouded mountain.
There, perched upon some dizzy cliff,
Trace yonder streamlet far below,
The steamboat dwindled to a skiff,
The white sailed sloop, a flake ofsnowj
Or, with the warm sun’s morning ray,
Watch the thin vapor’s rising wreath
Before the light breeze roll away,
That hid yon busy world beneath.
But oh! there is a lovlier scene,
Where nature more seductive smiles,
Header, the Sacred Lake, I mean,
Qemm’d with its thousand verdant islcs^
Go—float upon its chiystal sheet,
When stars proclaim the evening hour,
When the night wind is breathing sweet,
And summer’s heat hath lost its power,
When Cynthia’s quiet, pensive light
Shines ’neaththe wave and in the sky,
While on the stillness ofthe night
Breaks the clear bugle’s melody.
And from the hills and rocks around
Qpick fr m her slumber echo wakes,
And breathes again the mellow sound
n notes that distance sweeter makes.
Then tell me—need we ever roam
To other lands beyond the sea,
When nature is so fair at home,
In .wild untutored dignity ?
Geneva’s lake, the Rhone’s swift stream,
The Alps, the snow crown’d Pyrenees,
And Italy, the school boy’s dream,
All have their charms—yet only these •
Oh no! within our native land,
The laud we proudly call our own,
Arc scenes, as beautiful as grand,
To noisy fame tho’ little known.
From the Neio England Farmer.
AMUSING STORY.
Mr. Fessenderse.—The enclosed is
from Henderson’s Treaties on Swine, and
j9 an amusiDg account of the “ Early
Days of the Porcelain Cloth in Scotland.”
I thought at least that it would entertain
you, and is at your service to use at your
pleasure. Yours, &c.
“ Though swine were kept so early in
the south of England, it appears from the
folhbwing anecdote that they were little
known in the north of England and South
of Scotland. Within the last century,
(probably about ninety years ago,) a per
son in the parish of Rutiiwell, in Dumfries
shire, called the “ Gudeman o’ the Brae,”
received a young swine as a present from
some distant part, which from all the in
formation I could get, seems to have been
♦he first ever seen in that part of the
country. The pig having strayed across
the Lochare in the adjoining parish of
-- ClarelavioC, a woman who was herding
'cattle on the marsh by the sea side, was
aery much farmed at the sight of a liv-
mg. creature, that she had never seen or
heard of before, approaching her straight
from the shore as it had come out of the
®a, and ran home to the village of Blach-
si aw, screaming. As she ran, It ran, snor
ting and grunting after her, seeming glad
that it met 'with a companion. She arri
ved at the village so exhausted and terri
fied, that before she could get her story
told, she fainted away. By the time she
came to herself a crowd of people had col
lected to see what was the matter, when
she told them, 1 That there was a de’d
came out ofthe sea with two horns in his
head (nicst likely the swine had pricked
ears) and chased her roaring and gaping
all the way at her heels, and she was sure
it was not far off.’ A man called Willie
Tom, and old schoolmaster, said if he
could see it he would ‘ cungere the de’il,’
and got a bible and an old sword. It im
mediately started up at his back and gave
a loud grumph, which put him in such a
fright that his hair stood upright on his
head, and he was obliged to be carried
from the field half dead. The whole
crowd ran, some one way and some ano
ther ; some reached the house tops, and
others shut themselves up in barns and
byres. At last one on the house top cal
led out it was ‘ the Guide man o’ the
Brae’s grumphy,’ he having seen it be
fore. The affray was settled, and the
people reconciled, althongh some still
entertained frightful fears about it, and
durst not go over the door to a neighbor’s
house after dark without one set or cry
with him. One of the crowd who had
some compassion on the creature, called
out, “ give it a lock of straw to eat, it will
be hungry.”
Next day it was conveyed over the
Locharc, and it seemed to find its way
home. It being near the dusk of eve
ning, it came grunting up to two men pul
ling thistles on the farm at Cockpool.—
They were much alarmed at the sight,
and mounted two old horses they had te
thered beside them, intending to make
their way home. In tho mean time the
pig got between them and the houses,
which caused them to scamper out of the
way and land in Lochare moss, where one
horse was drowned, and the other with
difficulty relieved. The night being dark,
they durst not part one from another to
call for assistance, lest the monster should
find them out and attack them singly, nor
durst they speak above ilieir breath for
fear of being devoured. At day break
next morning they took a different course,
came by Culougan castle and made their
way home, where they found their fami
lies much alarmed on account of their ab
sence. The said they had seen a crea
ture about the size of a dog, with two
horns on its head and cloven feet, roar
ing out like a lion, and if they had not
galloped away, it would have torn them
to pieces. One of their wives said ‘ Hout
man, it has been the Gude man o’ the
Brae’s grumphy, it frightened them a’
at the Blachshaw yesterday, and poor
Meggie Anderson ’maist lost her wits, and
is aye out o’ ane fit into another sin syne.
The pig happened to lie all night a-
mong the corn where the men were pul
ling thistles, and about day break set for
ward on its journey for the Brae. One
Gabriel Garion, mounted on a long tailed
grey colt, with a load of white fish in a
pair of creels swung over the beast, en
countered the pig which went right among
the horse’s feet and gave a snort. The
colt being as much frightened as Gabriel,
wheeled about and scampered off sneer
ing, with his tail on hi3 riggin, at full gal
lop. Gabriel cut the slings and dropt the
creels, the colt soon dismounted the rider,
and going like the wind, with his tail up,
never stopped till he came to Barnkirk
Point where he took the Solway Frith
and landed at Browness, on the Cumber
land side. As to Gabriel, by the time
he got himself gathered up, the pig was
within sight, he took to his heels, as the
coll was quite gone, and reached Cum*
longan wood in time to hide himself,
where he staid all that day and night, and
next morning got home almost exhausted.
He told a dreadful sfory! The fright
caused him to imagine the pig as big as a
calf, having long horns, eyes like a hedge
hag. He lost his fish, the colt was got
back, but never did more good ; bat as to
Gabriel, he soon fell into a consumption
and departed this life about a year after.
About this time also, a vessel came to
Glencaple quay, a little below Dumfries
that had some swine on board, most like
ly for the ship’s use. One of them having
got out of the vessel in the night, was seen
on the farm of Newain’s next morning.—
The alarm was spread, and a number of
people collected. The animal got many
different names, and at last it was conclu
ded to be a brock.—Some got pitch forks,
some clubs, and others old swords, and a
hot pursuit ensued; the chase lasted a
considerable time, owing to the pursuers
losing heart when near their prey and re
treating ; Robs Gsordy, having rather a
little more courage than the rest, ran
* neck or nothing forcibly upon the nni-
mal, and run it through with a pitch fork,
for which he got the name of “ stout heart
ed Geordy,” all his life after. There is
an old man, nearly a hundred years old,
still in the neighborhood, who declares
that he remembers the Gudeman of the
Brae’s pig, and the circumstances men
tioned ; and he says it was the first swine
ever seen in that country.
CHINESE METHOD OF FATTENING FISH.
The Chinese are celebrated for their
commercial acumen, indefatigable indus
try, and natural adroitness in making the
most of every gift of nature bestowed on
their fertile country. Useful as well as
ornamental vegetables engross |jheir eve
ry care ; and animals which are the most
profitably reared, and which yield the
greatest quantity of rich anff savoury
food, are preferred by them for supplying
their larders and stews. Their horlus
dietetica would form a considerable list;
and though they do not use such a variety
of butcher’s meat and fowl as Europeans
do, yet, in the articles of pork, geese and
ducks, they surpass ; in the use of fish
they equal us ; and in their domestication
and management of them, they excel all
other nations
Whdfi a ponefis made for thiJ purpose,
and filled with water, the owner goes to
market, and buys as many young store-
fish as his pond can conveniently hold ;
this he can easily do, as almost all their
fish are brought to market alive. Pla
ced in the stew, they are regularly fed
morning and evening, or as often as the
feeder finds it necessary ; their food is
chiefly boiled rice, to which is added the
blood of any animals they may kill, wash
from their stewing pots and dishes, &c.—
indeed, any animal offal or vegetable mat
ter which the fish will eat. It is said
they also use some oleaceous medicament
in the food, to make the fish more vora
cious, in order to accele?ate their fatten
ing ; but of this the writer could obtain
no authentic account. Fish so fed and
treated, advance in size rapidly, though
not to any great weight; as the kind (a
species of perch) which came under ob
servation, never arrive at more than a
pound avoirdupois ; but from the length
of 3 or 4 inches when first put in, they
grow from eight to nine in a few months,
and are then marketable. Draughts from
the pond are then occasionally made ; the
largest are first taken off, and conveyed in
large shallow tubs of water to market ; if
sold, well ; if not, they are brought back,
and replaced in the stew, until they can
be disposed of. This business of fish
feeding is so managed, that the stock are
all fattened off about the time the water is
most wanted for the garden crops. The
pond is then cleared out, the mud care
fully saved, or spread as manure,—again
filled with water, stocked with young fry,
and fed as before. An intelligent Chi
naman, from whom the writer had the a-
bove detail, and who shewed him as much
of the process as could be seen during a
residence of three months, declared, as his
belief, that a spot of ground, containing
from thirty to fifty square yards, would
yield a greater annual profit as a stew,
than it would in any other way to which
it could possibly be applied. That fish
mny be tamed, suffer themselves to be
caressed and even raised from their nat
ural element by the hand, has. been long
known to naturalists; witness the fa
mous old carp formerly in the pond of
some religious house at Chantilly, in
France, with many oilier instances on re
cord. But it is probable no people has
carried the art of stew-feeding fish, and
practising it as a profitable concern, to
such length, as is done by the Chinese at
this day.—Quarterly Journal of Science.
Hoio to rear a good Orchard—In
March or April, before the apple trees
begin to bud, take a peice of thin leather,
about an inch wide, and just long enough
to encircle a small thrifty sprout; let this
leather be fastened at each end, by wind
ing a small wire as tight as possible around
it. This will stop the growth ofthe part
enclosed by the skin, and cause a bunch
of small white roots to shoot out above
and below the wires. In one year after
this operation of fastening of leather to
the &ig, cut it off two or three inches be-
below these clusters of roots, and set it
in the ground—it will grow as well as a
transplanted tree ; and, in this way, any
kind of fruit may be obtained that is de
sired.—Ncifr Eng. Far.
Yeast.—A method of making what
may be called a portable or durable yeast,
is as follows;
Take a quanti y of hops, suitable to
the quantity of yeast you intend to make,
boil them well, and strain off the water in
which they are boiled ; into this water
stir a suitable quantity of flour, and con
siderable salt, and then add to this a pro
portionate quantity of good yeast; let
this mass rise as much as it willthen
stir’in fine Indian meal till it is so thick
as that it can be made into small cakes of
tho size of a dollar or larger. When the
cakes are thus made, dry them in the sun
till they are hard, minding to turn them
frequently to prevent their moulding, and
then lay them by in a dry place, for future
use. When you wish to have yeast, take
one of these cakes, ci uinble it to pieces,
pour warm water on it, and let it stand in
a warm place, and it will soon rise suffi
ciently to make good yeast. A quantity
of these cakes may be made at once,
which will last, for six months or more.

Strawbe ry.—The common strawberry
in ripe state makes a most Excellent
dentifrice, sweetening the breath and
preserving the gums. It is said that the
celebrated Linnaeus cured himself of gout
by a persevering use of strawberries as an
article of diet.

The Parrot and the Abbot.—A parrot
belonging to Fresco, was one day detect
ed by the cook, stealing roast meat. The
cook, exclaiming, “ So, you’ve been at
the roast beef, have you,” threw a ladle of
boiling water, which scalded all the fea
thers from his head. The words made a
deep impression upon Poll, who was very
grum and silent for several days. One
morning, as the Count was with an Abbot,
the pairot after looking intently at the
bare head of the priest hopped up tohirnt
and said. “ So, you’ve been at the roas,

Southern Anti-Bilious Pills.
I T is worthy of remark, that the people ofthe
Southern States depend on those of the North,
to prescribe Anti-Bilious Pills in a climate to
which Jhe latter are, in a great measure, stran
ger*. sMd. consequently cannot know the peculi-
aruB hnd temperament of the system of those
in Southern sections, as well as those residing
there. e
The Pills most commonly vended at the South,
are Lee’s New London Anti-Bi!ious Pills, 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 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
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 of the above mentioned Pills, just re
ceived anil for sale at the AUGUSTA BOOK
STORE.

Constitutional Punishment.—The con

infliction of all uuusual and barbarous
punishments, and out of respect, probably
to this humane provision, the directors of

female convicts. They consider it too
severe—and they are right. What barba

broad face—of good form and countenance-
speaks with a fine whining voice, and is very in
telligent. His skin is remarkably smooth and
without a scar that I know of. He reads, and
writes a good band. 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 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 be 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.

Burke County, Georgia, on last Christmas
day, a Negro man named MANUEL, about 30
or 35 years old, about 5 feet 6 inches high, and

his height. I will give the above reward of Fifty
Dollars, for the negro and thief, if stolen, or
Twenty-five dollars for the fellow alone, deliver
