MISCELLANEOUS. The Rose when it blushes alone. THE bloom of creation, is charming to sec, It) the spring, when tlie flowers are just blown, Bat the flower that has lieauties enchanting to me, Is the lions when it blushes alone. The tuow-drop may spread its white form to the eye, And the Tulip, to changes be prone, Tlie ganli nos nature has nothing can vie, With the Hose v. hen it blushes alone. The Lilly, I know is a sweet little flower, When its maidenly beauties arc shown, But it never can ravish the soul with such power, As tiie Hose, when it blushes alone. Tlie Poet and Florist, may boast of their art, While their pictures in emblem are thrown, Tl'.erc is none ti.at enraptures the moralist's heart, Like tlie Rose, when it blushes alone For the Fair who has beauty with modesty join’d, Mas charms each beholder must own ; And cypress’ 1 by a metaphor aptly combin’d, Is a Hose when it blushes alone. EPIGRAM. Adam alone could not be catty, So he must have n wife an't please ye : Bui how did he procure this wife, To cheer his solitary life ? Why from a rib cut off his side Was form’d this necessary bride. But how did he the pain beguile? Elm. he slept sweetly all the while. But when his rib ttas reapplied In woman’* form to Adam’s side, How then, 1 pray you, did it answer ? lie never slept so sweet again, sir. The moral Lessons of Nature. AN EXTRACT, While insects from the threshold preach, And minds dispos’d to musing teach : Proud of strong limbs and painted hues, They perish by the slightest bruise ; (I • maladies begun within, Destroy more slow life’s frail machine ; From maggot-youth thro’ change'of state Tliev feel like us the turns of fate ; Same born to creep have liv’d to fly, Ynd change earth-cells fin - dwellings high ; And some that did tin ir six wings keep, ilefnrr they tlv’d, been forc’d to creep. They politicks like us profess, The greater prey upon the less ; Some strain on foot huge ioails to bring ; Some tod incessant on the \vl ig ; And m their different ways explore Wise sense of want by future store; N >r from their vigorous schemes desist Till death, and then are never miss’d Some frolic, toil, marrv, increase, \re sirk add well, have war and peace, And broke with age, in half a day Yield to successors, and away. From the Pittsburg Mercury. BATTLE OF PENNINGTON This was a proutl day, said he, for the poor Green Mountain hoys, yy ho were yet sore with wounds they had so lately received in the retreat from Tv.* They could not so soon the slaughter of their brethren, of Col. Warner s regiment, who were al most all cut ofl'at Huhbardstown. The word came “ the enemy's coming,”— the alarm flew like wild tire—every limit left his plough or ax. some even standing in the field, and “ determined to light a spell*’—some with officers nue some without—none was anxious who should he commanded or com mand : tlit‘ main object was to find good positon, take sure aim tire away and load again Here he proceeded to describe the order battle, &e. But the most striking part was the colonel, who was ordered by gen. Stark to reinforce with his regi ment a part of one of the wings (hat had sustained a considerable part of the action, anil suffered much. The Colonel inarched at tlie instant but with a certain step peculiar to himself —slow, firm, and steady. The whole parish was in his regiment, and they had brought with them their much loved parson, without whose blessing they could scarcely think themselves in a xvay to prosper. The officer com manding the corps to be relieved, fear ing at every instant, that his men from fatigue and loss would give way, sent to hasten (he Colonel. “ Tell ‘em,” says he, ‘’that we are coming;” and kept his pace steadily on. This gen tleman was at home, a deacon—wore an old fashioned loug waisted coat, with large pocket Caps, and herring boned cuffs, and a three cocked hat, the forepart something resembling the ban” die of a pipkin, except that the extreme part of it might have endangered the eye of a mosqueto, had he run unguard ed against it. A second express ar rived, “ Colonel, for God’s sake hur ry, my men arc beginning to fall back,’ —“ that will make room for us—tell ’em we’re coming,” keeping his still unaltered pace, and phiz quite placid and unconcerned. A third message was treated just as cooly; when they emerged from a eopice in full view of the enemy, and several halls passed over them; “ halt,” said the Colonel, “ form column and let us attend pray ers.” The chuplin was called and or dered with all due formality to attend to his duty, hut during the solemnity, an unlucky shot wounded one of the men. The Colonel now, for the first lime, began to show some impatience, for no sooner had the parson pronounc ed, a men, than the men w ere ordered to march. But still the Colonel kejq his steady measured pace, until he had taken the ground, in front of the poo r fellows who w ere almost ready to leave (he field, and but for the love of liber ty, could not have kept it half so long. “ Give it to ’em,” said the Colonel, “ give it to ’em hoys,” us he stepped along the rank, with the same unalter ed pace and phiz, chewing his quid which he now- and then replaced,oblig ing those who stood next him with his box. “ The Hessians are in front,” said he—“ our wives and children in the rear. Liberty’s the prize—we fight for liberty.” This was enough ; the more verbose eloquence of a Ro man general himself could have done no more. The enemy pressed, hut pressed only on their own destruction. We fought, we bled, we conquered ; and the nar rator said, lie did not doubt but tlie cool, determined bravery of these few raw militia, had a principal share in deciding the fate of the day. * Tycondcroga is there so called in com mon conversation. During one of the boisterous periods of (he Athenian commonwealth, the philosopher Heraclitus became melan choly and diseonsolnte at the excesses of the people and their visible degen eracy into despotism. This gave rise to a belief that he was mad; and the famous physician Hippocrates, who re sided at Abdera, was sent for at the expence of (he public to cure him.— Hippocrates having questioned his pa tient, and for some days attentively considered his cuso, a little before his departure made a public and candid declaration, that he found Heraclitus to be the only man in Athens that had his right senses about him. Friendship cannot be kept with a young man, who is under the dominiou of dissolute companions, and will not allow of remonstrances in cases that concern his morals. Food and Raiment. —What services are more necessary than those which provide us yvit.i food and raiment? If oilier wants and pleasures of life could not be consulted, without a sacri fice of these, no man could hesitate to which to give the preference. An Irishman being upbraided w ith cowardice, said, he had as bold a.heart as any man in the army, but his cow ardly legs always ran away with it. Til. Budget, p. 120 When the rapid and dreadful con flagration happened on board the Boyne a marine was peaceably sitting in his hirlh with his wife and son, a boy a bout twenty months old, just, beneath tlie place where the misfortune began, and finding every effort to escape tiie llaiues in the ordinary way ineffectual, the man, with the greatest composure ami presence of mind, took from the pens a sheep of the captain* live stock, and bracing the hoy on the animals flee cy back, dropped them into the sea.— <There,’ said lie, ‘turn to the land, and God go w ith you.’ Encouraged by he husLands resolution, his wife leaped into the brine, and the man fol lowed after, supporting his companion above water, till the boats arrived to their assistance, when they were taken up little worse for the venture. The sheep, with the greatest steadiness was seen making for the shore, with young Bi n Bowline riding upon his back, like an infant river-god, to the vast delight of the spectators on shore, who from the temlerest motives, finding themselves interested in the hoys safety, rushed into the watery element to meet the young navigator, whom (hey presently unsheeped, and succoured with tender ness, till he again fell into the arms of his adventurous parents. The singu. larlty of this event attached the pat ronage of a most liberal lady in ihe Isle of M ight, who having prevailed on the mother of the child to leave his future fortune to her guidance, declar ed, in the most friendly manner, ‘that as the boy had begun his naval career on a lamb, she would never leave him till he was able to end it like a lion.’ Nuval Anecdotes p. 150. I was warned against visiting the Irish, who, 1 was told, were so ignorant that a rebel barber seeing an artillery man about to apply his match to a can non, ran up <0 the muzzle, and thrust his wig into it, exclaiming, ‘ by Jns us. I have stop! your mouth, my honey, for this time.’ But he did not, for he was blown to atoms. Sir. .1. Carr.
