poem entitled.
JECKOYVA.
The Indian chief, Jeckoyva, as tradition says,
perished alone on the mountain which now bears
his name. Plight oveitook him whilst hunting
i.moogthe cliffs, and he was not heard of . ' - *.
i t a long time, when his half-decayed corpsr
was found at the foot of a high rock, over which
he ntost have fallen. Mount Jeckoyva is near
the White Hills.
They made the warrior’s grave beside
The dashing of his native tide:
And there was mourning in the glen—
The strong wall of a thousand men—
O’er Jiim thus fallen in his piide,
lire mist ofnge-—or blight or blast
Had o'ei 1 is mighty spirit past.
Thel madethe warrior’s grave beneath
The bending of the v.iid-elin’s wreath,
When the dark hunter’s piercing eye
Had found that mountain rest on high,
Where, scattered by the sharp winds breath,
Beneath the rugged cliff were thrown
The long belt and the mouldering bone.
Where was the warrior's foot, when first
The red sun ott the mountain burst?
Where— when the sultry noon-time came
On the green vales with scorching flame,
And made the.tvoodlands faint with thirst?
’Twas where the wind is keen and loud,
And the grey cade breasts the cloud.
Where was the vMfrrior’s foot, when night
Veiled in thick cloud the mountain height?
None heard the loud and sudden crash,—
Hone saw the fallen warrior dash
Down the bare rock so high and white j—
Jlut lie that drooped not in the chase
Made on thejiills his burial place.
They found him there, w hen the long day
Of cold desertion passed away-
And traces on that barren cleft
tyf strugling hard with death were left—
Deep marks and foot-prints in (he clay?
And they, have laid this feathery helm
By the dark river and green elm.

NAPOLEON SLEEPS.
Sonnet.
Thg conflict's o’er—the iron crown is liven,
And war hath smooth’d it3 storm-compelling brow.
The giant spirit from his throne is driven—
The nations to a milder sceptre bow ;
For he the great magician, lifts no more
The wand of empire o’er embattled hosts,
Nor breaks again his whirlwind battle roar
On earth’s wide, thunder-blasted, dreary coasts.
Yet like eternal beacon fires that stream
On night's cold brow of heavy rampart gloom,
The flashings of his death'ess actions gleam,
And shed a glory o’er his warrior tomb.
Napoleon sleeps—the star of empire fades,
But his proud spirit spurns the Stvgian shades-

WOMAN.
The following beautiful extract is from the peu
of Jobs Neal, and is the introduction toanar-
tide in the last Yankee on the character of En
glish Females. It will reward a repeated peru-
caL
It were no easy matter to describe the
women of a small neighborhood—or of a
single paiish, set apart in one of the isles
of the sea from all the rest of the earth.
JIow much mote difficult to describe those
of a large country, by a few general re
marks. ‘ It is not so with the men. They
may be hit off in the lump. They are
the herbage, not the blossom of a counfty.
They are all of a hue—they are not like
the flowers that Wow under the pressure
rf the foot, and fade away before you
have time to trace the perfume of their
dying breath—to the trodden and crushed
root vou have scarred with your heel as
you hurried by. They ate not like wo-
raen—as changeable as light, and as fluc
tuating as the shadow of a summer-sea.
They are more like the substantialities
oat you see about you, heavy, and rocky
ud steadfast.
Men are {he reality, women the poet
ry of this world. Men are the trees—
women the fruitage and flower. The for
mer delight in a rude soil—they strike
their roots downward with a perpetual
effort, and heave their proud hrauches up
ward, in perpetual strife. Are they to
be removed l—you must tear up the very
earth with their roots, rock and ore and
impurity, or they perish. They cannot
be translated with safety. Something of
their home—a little of their native soil
must cling to them forever, or they die.—
Not so with woman—give her but air and
skv enough, and she will seek no nourish
ment of the earth, strike no roots down
ward—urge no sceptre upward—but con
tent herself with shedding light and cheer
fulness on every side of her—flowers and
perfume on every thing she touches.—
Would you remove her—you have but to
unclasp a few green delicate fibres, to
scatter a few blossoms, and to shake ol a
few large drops—like the rain-drops of
a summer shower—and lo ! she is ready
to depart with you whithersoever you
may steer. She does not cling to the
soil, she does not yearn for a native earth
—all that she needs anywhere is some
thing to grow to. Her vitality is untouch
ed—her sympathies unhurt, by the influ
ence of a new sky or a strange air. It
may be, that in her youth, her I lossotning
was about the door-way of a cottage—it
may be that she is mnv transplanted to a
palace; made to breathe the hot and
crowded air, to bask in the artificial sun
shine of a city—in shadow, and smoke,
aHd a most exaggerating atmosphere.-—
But even there she is liappv—she carries
her home with her ; and though u hat she
clings to may sicken at the heart and
perish at the roots, for lack of its native
air, she will put forth her beauty, and
scatter her perfume as before.
These things are easily said ; But are
they true ? We are liable to be carried
away by poetry and metaphor and illus
tration—but illustration, poetry and meta
phor, what do they prove ?—what are
they good for ? Why should it be more
difficult to describe the women than the
men of a small, neighborhood, of a remote
parish, or of a large country? Try the
expeiiment yourself. Go into the first
church you see open, or to any other
place where you may meet a multitude ol
women gathered together. Try to give a
reader a general idea of their dress—nay
try to give any body a general idea of
part ol it—of the fashion of their bonnets,
you will seldom or never find two alike,
in the whole house—I might say oil the
fuce of the whole earth. Such is the ve
ry nature of woman : quick, apt, sensible
arid precipitate, with an eye for colour
that men have not, with an ear for music
that men have not, and with a taste for
shape that shows itself in every thing she
wears, and in every tiling she builds np.
A woman studies change and variety—it
is a reproacli to her to dress alike—I do
not say to be alike—for twenty-four hours
at a time. She would blush to be caught
twice a year at a ball in the same or in a
similar dress. And where it may not be
in her power to put on a new robe every
day, it is the study of a large part of her
life to appear to do so—to multiply and
vary by all sorts of contrivances, the few
that she may have, now by altering die
shape, now by giving a new dye, now by
changing the ribbons, or a flounce,
or a furbelow, and now it may be
by converting slips into frocks or frocks
into slips, or both into sponsors and riding
habits ;—all tvhicfla woman may do from
her youth up, yet more from a love ol
change, than from her secret wish to ap
pear belter off than she is. And so it is
with not a few of our men. The more
youthful they are, the more sensitive they
are: the more like women they are, the
more changeable and capricious they are.
But why should I complain of this ? I
du not—I only mention the fact for the
purpose of showing how difficult it is to
give another a general idea of a body of
women. Before the hue is copied—it
has altered. Before the outline is finish
ed, it is no longer the same. You are in
pursuitofthe rainbow—-you are describing
a changeable landscape under die drifting
clouds of a changeable sky—you arc af
ter a bird of paradise—a feather, a butter
fly-
And every touch, that woes its stay
Brushes its brightest hues away.
But is this to complain ?—If I say that
flowers are not trees, that fruitage is not
rock,, that women are not men ; what say
I more than every body, woman as well
as man, should delight to acknowledge ?
Arc we to be imprisoned forever and aye
with realities? Are wc to live under a
marble firmament, because forsoth, a mar
ble firmanent may have more stability ?—
Are we, who live in tho very midst of
change and fluctuation, who are never
the same for two minutes together, who
see all the elements circulating forever
and ever within us and around us, thro’
all the vicissitudes of shadow and light,
and youth and age ; are we to speak ir
reverently cf her, who by the greater
(fineness and greater purity of her corpo
real texture is made more sensible than
we, to the influence* of sky and air, and
sea, and earth ? As well might we de
ride the perfume of the flower, and the
hue of the wild-rose, or the song of birds,
or the flavor of a peach, for not being as
fixed and immutable as the very earth we
tread on. Are we to speak slightingly of
that, which with all its changes, and throuh
all its changes is still woman—the witch
ery and power, the pulse and the life
blood of our being? Let us remember
that charm of the very sky is its change
ableness—of the very eat lii is its being
never the same for a long while together,
of the very sea and air that they change
with every breath you draw, and with ev
ery word you speak.
Let us>remember that the character of
her who is appointed to be our companion
forever, here and hereafter,
like sunshine in the rill,
, Though turned away, is sunshine still.

Guess.—This word is often quoted as
peculiar the Yankee dialect, and attempt*
are constantly made to stamp it with de
rision by those who seize every opportu
nity to ridicule the manners and customs
of the New England people. That it is
t more frequently spoken by the Yankees
than any other people I would not wish
to deny, because I think it an evidence of
their good taste to give preference to
such an admirable word. It is also the
only word in our language that has always
the same meaning, and yet awakens dif-
) feient associations ; a kind of self illustra
ting property that makes its fitness and
I application known at once Guess !—
i What child mistook it? What sense
i would ever disregard it ? It touses curios-
: ity and thus stimulates the mind to exer-
| tion. It invites flee enquiry, and thus is
i favorable to liberty and literature. It
! checks arrogance ol assertion, and thus re
presses the violence of party & of contro
versy. As a peace maker it is more po
tent than ‘IF”—indeed it now occurs to
me that doubtless the prevalence ol this
word, and the feeling of respect fur the
doubts and deliberations it must occasion,
have greatly contributed to keep the \an-
kce temperament cooi. & prevent the ne-
eessisv among us of having recourse to the
pistol, to teach good breeding or com
mand civilities. No word which could
be substituted would supply the loss of

“I Rcckon”-ihc phraze of a creditor,
and I always fee! inclined io seek the

“I Believe”—what business has a man

It has modesty in its sound; modesty in
its assertions, and magnificence in its
promises. It is simple, sentimental or
sublime according to the object on whicli
it is employed. It must also be consid
ered poetical as it contains the essence
ofimaginaioM, namely, uncertainty. It
is philosophical because to invites to re
flection. In short its beauty and utility
are so apparent, that the \aukee who dis
cards it from his vocabulary deprives
himself of a treasure which
“ Gleek & Roman lore can ne'er supply.”

FROM THE WINCHESTER REPUBLICAN.
Anecdote.—Just about the time that
the President left Baltimore, where he
spent two or three days last Fail, a Ger
man farmei from York county, of great
wealth and influence, happened to arrive
in the city, while the favorable impres
sion of Rlr. Adams’ visit was in the mouth
of every one. The old gentleman was
sorry he had come too late, and fell incli
ned to go down to Washington, and see
him of whom every body talked. His
wife approved the proposal—the carryal
was ordered out—and the next day they
were in the parlour ol the President.—
They weie politely received; but their
mouths were sealed. They sat ten min
utes without uttering a woid; when the
old German broke silence by saying to
iiis partner, (in their native language,)
Come wife, let’s go home. We’ve
seen the President. He can’t talk Dutch ;
and we mus’nt stay here.” The Presi
dent instantly replied in the old mail’s fa
vorite Dutch, telling him he was happy
to be able to entertain him. For a mo
ment the visiters looked at each other in
amazement; then, by a simultaneous
impulse tiuloosed their tongues ; & such a
jabber of Dutch was perhaps never be
fore heard in the President’s house.—
The old gentleman declared he was no
longer for Jackson ; Mr. Adams was his
man ; he talked Dutch better than any
body he had ever hear d, and he would
tell his neighors so, and they would all
give him their votes tor President.

Dissolve camphor in alcohol, adding

bottom of the latter ; a sufficient quantity
of rain or river water is then to have the
alcohol solution added to it, in the pro
portion of four drops to one ounce ol wa
ter. Plants which have been removed
from the earth, and have suffered by a
journey or otherwise, should be plunged
into this camphorated water, so that they
be entirely covered : in about two or
three hours the plant will revive. It is
then to be placed in good earth, watered,

USEFUL HINTS.
The following discovery has been late
ly communicated by the Royal Society of
Sweden to that of London. After roof
ing a house with wood, boil some tar and
mix it with finely pulverized charcoal till
it is the thickness of mortar—spread this
with a trowel about a fourth of an inch
thick over the roof; it will soon grow
hard, and defy all the vicissitudes of wea
ther. Roofs thus coveted have stood in
Sweden above a century, and still want
no repair.
Chess.—The long pending match be
tween the London and Edinburgh Chess
Clubs is still going on. It is about four
years since the match was begun, and
four games have been played with equal
success. The fifth is now playing, and
the pieces are reduced to three, and the
pawns to five on each side ; but we un
derstand that the London Club have it
iu their power to take a bishop without
any immediate loss to themselves. In
this situation, it may be presumed that the
fate of the game and match is no longer
doubtful.—Glasgow Courier,

Proposals
OR Publishing by subscription, a Weekly
Literary Gazette, to be entitled
“THE TABLET.”
The Subscribers propose publishing a Literary
Miscellany under the above title, which will be
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 enteriainment 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 ol 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 of the Ed-
itoi s 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 oflocal 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 % 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
where, as a sanctuary, nothing but that which
may properly belong to them shall be permitted
to enter. Erom them we shall expect that favor
ing patronage which, while it provides wit-b the
useful, will, also, be accompanied with so much
of the sweet and grateful, as will give to exertion
and diligence their most seductive reward.
“ The Taexet” will be put to Subscribers at
$4 per annum, payable in advance, on the deliv
ers of the first number. It will be issued as soon
as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtain

20 Dollars Reward.
R ANAVVAY from the subscriber’s plantation
in Richmond County, Geo. on the 18th
inst., my negro man, TOM, who is about 30
years of age, upw-ards of 6 feet high, very black,
broad face—of good form and countenance—
speaks with a fiue 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 hand. He has sufficient wit to
write himself a pass or even free papers. He
has heretofore uniformly sigued his name Thomas
B. Davis ; but os 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 he may
aim lor 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 he rigidly enforced.
Should he still be larking about Augusta, and is
taken so that I get him, I w-ill give a reward of
Ten dollars for his apprehension.
