“THERE’S NOTHING .HUE RUT HEAVEN.”
When yon bright orb beneath the went,
Descends in shades of even ;
When all is hushed in peaceful rest,
Tl.e soul aspires to regions blest,
It finds repose in Heaven.
’Tis then all fleeting joys below,
A while to mortals given ;
Seem but the pageant of a show,
* lie veil that hales a latent wo—
And false '.—compared with Heaven.
’Tis then all cares, and sorrows hero,
By which frail man is driven,
As eveli.ng shadows disappear,
And all within is calm and clear.
Illum'd with rays from Heaven.
Freed from this earth my soul Would share,
The joys to angels given ;
In br.ght celestial mansions where
Blest virtue beams divinely fair,
The glorious dawn of Heaven.
OH, WEEP NO 1 FOR THOSE, &c.
Oh, weep not for tliose, who have surd: to their rest,
In the blaze of their martial renown !
Whose spirits have fled to the realms of the blest—
Whom the laurels of martyrdom crown;
Oh, weep not for those, who have fled to the bourne
. Where the dust of their forefathers sleep 1
■Whose relics repose in the rude lettered urn,
Or bleach on the shores of the deep.
Weep not for the tiead—the dead cannot hear—
They feel not the sting of neglect j
Their spirits have soared to their own native sphere—
They need not the tears of respect.
Weep not for the dead, but weep for the brave
Who wander, forlofn and distressed,
Whose sun has declined to the verge of the grave
Who freeze on ixuiutitudf.’s breast!
?ROM HOLBORn’s DROLLERY. 1673.
A scholar newly entered college life,
Following-his study did offend his wife,
Because when she his company expected,
By bookish business she was still neglected.
Coming into his study, (Cord, quoth she)
Can papers make you love them more tlian me f
1 wish I were transformed into a book,
That your affection might upon me look.
But in my wish, with all, be it decreed,
1 would he such a book you love to read.
Husband (quoth she) which book’s form should I take ?
Marie (quoth he) ’Uvere best an almanack.
The reason wherefore I do wish thee so,
Is, every year we have a new, you know.
MISCELLANY.

And steal unfelt the sultry hours away.”

Now ye fair adventurers t*> the temple of
Hyincu,ye who have bound around the hearts
of men the silken cords affection weaves, ye
who plucked the apple from the accursed
tree, ye who first expelled the whole race
of Adam from the garden of Paradise, and
doomed them to eternal slavery, listen a
moment to a few guesses from old Will, and
attribute not to him a want of respect for
teavingyou to the last; for, believe me, al
though last you are not leusi in my estima
tion. Put by your work, and rub up your
spectacles, and read with care and delibera
tion, and meditate with cautious circumspec
tion, and if none of th* following guesses
suit your case, look around and see if they
apply to any of your neighbors; if not, then
1 hope none will be offended.
When Isoe a wife-contradict her husband
with the fire of indignation beaming in her
eye, I guess she is ignorant of the marriage
covenant, and destitute of love or even com
mon respect for him.
When I see a wife gossipping about from
houso to house, spreading false and scanda
lous reports about her neighbors, I guess she
is a curse to the peace and happiness of so
ciety,and will bring down her husband’s grey
hairs with sorrow to the grave.
When I see a wife fond of tyrannizing o-
•er her servants anti domestics, I guess sli
j 'estitute of the refined feelings which are
v ,i greatest ornaments to her sex ; and
would make a more suitable match for an
Algerine slave-driver, than for a man of
common sensibility.
When I see a wife more fond of decora'-
.ing her person with ribands and curls and
trinkets, than of attending to her domestic
affairs, 1 guess she is an unprofitable rib, and
the heart of her husband will not rejoice in
tier.
When I see a wife so over nice as to he
eternally scolding and fretting and watching
lest her white floor, her clean hearth or her
ch gant carpet should get a speck of dirt on
them, 1 guess she is a continual thorn in tin
side of her husband, and is no great comfort
to herself.
When 1 sec a Wife on the other hand, win
can quietly sit down in the midst of dirt and
confusion, with her own clothes half put on.

her hair like a crow’s nest, I guess she is an
easy, can less, good natured, good fur no
thing, sluttish sort of wife, and her husband
Cannot praise her.
When I see a wife and a mother fly into ;
passion and beat her children, at one time
for trifling or accidental offences, and at an
other suffer them to make the most obstinate
and provoking resistance without correction.
I guess she is not fit to manage herself, much
{css her offspring.
When I see a wife always gadding abroad
and never contented at home, 1 guess she i
not a very domestic w ife, and cares but vein

Notwithstanding the master’s argument,
and, as lie thought, proof respecting the ket

said did not amount to proof.
The servant, who had been listening to the
tale, and just noticed the observation ol the
Magistrate, suddenly exclaimed, “ by my

Led yard's Eulogy on Women.—I h a v< al
ways remarked that Women in all countries
are civil, obliging, tender and humane ; that
they are ever inclined to be gay and cheer
ful, tiinerous and modest; and that they do
not hesitate, like men, to perform a generous
action. Not haughty, arrogant or supercil
ious, they are full of courtesy and fond of
society ; more liable to err than men, bill
generally more virtuous, and performing
| more meritorious actions.—To a woman, ei
ther civilized or savage, l never iwldressed
myself in the language of decorum and
friendship without receiving a docent and
friendly answer—with men it has been other
wise.
In wandering over the barren plains of
Denmark, through honest Sweden, and fro
zen Lapland, rude and churlish Finland, un
principled Russia, and the wide spreading
regions of the wildering Tarter—if hungry,
dry, cold, wet or sick, the women have been
friendly to me, anil uniformly so ; and to
this virtue, so worthy of the appellation of
benevolence, these actions have been per
formed in so free and so kind a manner, that
if I was dry I drank the sweetest draught,
and if hungry, I cat the coarsest morsel,
with a double relish.
Extract from a sermon, preached to the
seamen in New-York, by the Rev. Dr.
Whitfield.—“ Well, irry boys, we have a
clear sky, and are making fine head way o-
ver a smooth sea, before a light breeze, and
we shall soon lose sight of land. But what
menus this sudden lowering of the heavens—
and that dark cloud arising from beneath the
horizon !—Ilark ! don’t you hear distant
thunder i—don’t you see those flashes of
lightning ? There is a storm gathering !—
Every man to his duty ! How the waves
rise and dash against the ship ! The air is
dark 1—the tempest rages ! our masts art

power and general utility, by the o mat cogent b
oretical reasons ; yet, rather tha u obtrude t
the public notice, supported by t heury t ,.j. ,
determined to make a lull and sat isfactory I' *
rimentof its operative power and general uti!'?'
on a scale that would test the pi incinl® bevoS
the possibility of doubt. He t -ccorilintly t?
built and erected in the edge of fi Ik River ( "
Iilkton, Giles county, West Tentj essee) a ra
wheel on the above plan, 32 feet .diameter
12 arms, to which the floats, 8 fee t by 4 j p .
face, are suspended by two hinges , and sudmiI*
eil by rods connected to the lowei edge and'5*
arms that follow, in a way not to p revent the n
turn of the float until fully uufoldi <d. j. ^
begins to fold up on Ihe eddy or tfc at fide of in
wheel returning against the curren t, and j,
ried easily over an inclined plain, by means of
a sriiall wheel or roller, fixed in the lolvereiwJ
the float, and pas9 oft'the float so sn masitcaau
acted on by the current. The inclined plait, tl .
he dispensed within tidewater; the ebb aal
flood acting alternately on the difftl eut side, of
the wheel, and without changing 0 r alterin* ib
motion. The wheel is suspended by twosivoV
indented on one side and passing th roughblocki
on the arms of the cog-whecl pud retained hr
catches and i3 raised or lowered by I even to suit
the different stages of the water,*ot to inti uw
or diminish its operative power. '] he inclined
plain rises and falls with the water. The current
in the part of the river on which the above wheel
is erected, is far from beingbrisN; ;yet the wheel
performs one aud a half revolutions in a minute*
driving a stone of four feet diamete r with »re;t
power and with a velocity of one liumlted «4
twenty revolutions in the minute.
The proprietor will have in full (operation ti*
ensuing summer, two pair of stones and a saw,it
attached to and driven by the same water v.seei,
The great and important advantage arising fro®
this invention, is the substituting the column

LAW.
J\'cw way of guuging the milk kettle.—In
the Court of Sessions, in this town (St.
Johns,) an action was brought by a servant
against his master, for monies due for wages.
The facts were these.—The man claimed
ten pounds—the master said that only eight
were due, nlicdging that he had spilled sever
al kettles of milk, for which he must pay.
It appeared in evidence, that two or three
kettles had been spilled by accident, without
any fault on the part of the servant—the
Court therefore adjudged, that for these lie
was not accountable—-but that lie must pay
for one kettle which had boen spilled through
carelessness. A difficulty now arose as to
the quantity of milk contained in (he kettle.
The inaster(and his wife, who were, in court,)
declared it held two gallons, while the ser
vant insisted it would not hold more than
fix quarts. Not having any evidence who
could decide this point, the proceedings were
at a stand for sonic minutes, when the mas
ter looking significantly * his wife said,
•‘Teg, suppose I was after telling the gentle
man the story about the kettle.”—after a
little hesitation, l’eg replied, “ well myself
don't care—out wid it.” The master being
thus authorised, began—« Iflase your hon
ours, last fall some gentleman came, down our
way fronting, and axed me if I could sell
them some milk—Myself said Peg was out
milking, and as soon as she came in tlicy
could have some.' Presently Peg comes in
wid the milk, hut it was blowing hard, and
some loaves blovVcd into the milk, and when
Peg was going to measure it, the gentlman
said it was dirty, (saving your honors’ pres
ence)—Peg was vexed, and said it was no
thing but clanc leaves, and took souff out,
but they would not have it, but one of deni,
(a very funny man sure enough.) said if 1
.could take Peg and put her head in the ket
tle, he would pay for the kettle of milk, and
*.) he put two dollars on the table. Myself
looked at the money, and so did Peg—says
1 Peg, shall I,and laughed—-myself don’t
cave, said Peg, and taix I up wid her in my
rtns, and dipt her head in the kettle, and
<he gentleman gave us the money sure enough.
Ye afterwards sold six quarts of milk out

presence) knows Teg’s head would be as
