Within the windings of yon darksome vale, Where baleful mists and lowering clouds repose, Where mingled sighs and groans float on the gale, Dwells the dark ruler over many woes. W here yon doll stream so slowly winds along, And sudden sinks within that yawning cave, W hose top w-itb aconite and mg’ t-shade hung, rin ows hoarsely back an echo to the wave ; The frowning demon. Disappointment, sits Upon'her rocky adamantine throne: Around her sighs and wailings rise by fits, Commingling oft with many a mournful groan. Her seat is raised of youthful lover’s bones, VY ho oft, witli bounding hearts, had hop’d their prize, So lov’d to gain ; hut fortune them disowns, And Disappointments mock’d till death their sighs. High o’er her bend for canopy is hung Tbe hopes of youth, fringed round with age’s sighs, And o’er her neck as drup’ry careless flung, Fbiated false promises of future joys. Her feet are set upon the hearts of those \\ ho once for pleasure or for peace dar’d sigh, Her sceptre twin’d with all the train of woes Thai fall in show’rs on whom site passes nigh. The maid, the wife, Ihe widow fill’d her court, The youth, the middle ag>;d and old, old mau, Alike had been her subject and her sport, Since first on earth her painful reign began. ToihL of Rachael.—A few miles further on ire t hn ruins of the vi'inge of Ramma; frag ments of wails only n fitw feet high, are now the ve-t.-ges of the place where the prophet 0 beautliuliv predicted the mourning lor the 1 noco'it. Th* re is a spot on the plain at no great distance f. otn the ruined vdiage, of much higher interest—the tomb of Rachael. It is one of the ft w places where the observer is persuaded that tradition has not erred; as it !u!fi s literally the words of Israel in his last hour, when dwelling on the only indelible remembrance that earth seemed to claim front im.—The long exile, the cenverse with the angels ofGod, the wealth and greatness which had gathered round h m, all yield to the lov ed and faithful wife; ‘And as for me, Rachael died hv me in the way from Rethleheni, and I hurried her there.’ The spot is ns wild and solitary as can well be conceived; no palms or cypresses give their ‘■helter from the blast; nut a single tree- spreads its shade where the a^hesof the beau tiful mother of Israel rest. Yet there is some thing in this sepulchre in the wilderness, that excites a deeper interest than more splendid r revered ones. The tombs ol Zachanas and Absalom, in the vally of Jehosophat, or of the Kings in the plain of Jeremiah, the traveller looks at with carh ss indifference; beside that of Rachael his fancy wanders ‘to the land of the people in the East,’ to the power of beauty (hat could so long make banishment sweet; !o the devoted companion of the wanderer, who deemed all troubles light for her sake. The Turks have surrounded most oft ho bu rial places of tbe chief characters of the Old Testament, with more pomp and stately ob servance than this; over that of David and Solomon, on the dechvifv of Zion, a mosque i- erected; th^ cave too of Machpcla, at Hebron; i« covered by a large and ancient mosque, and all around the soil is held inviolable. ’I he cave is in the middle of the interior of the edi fice: its dark and deep entrance only is risible; and it is rarely entered, even by the steps of th faithful. For more than a century, not more than two or three Europeans are known, either by daring «>r bribery to have visited it; the la«t was an Italian Count, a traveller who, Lv paying verv high’ was allowed by his guar dians to tread the floor ofthe mosque, and de scend into the obscurity of the hallowed cav ern; this was thirty v ars since—It was a great nit v that so memorable a scene should be clos ed to the curious eve; the hold valley in which the anrir-nt town of II jJ horne stands, is often visited by the step of the pilgrim and the traveller; but the penalty of death to everv Christain who enters within the walls of ♦ he mosQue. is too dear a payment for the grat i- flention. The cave is said by the Turks to he deep and very spacious, cut out of the solid rock- and that the resting places of the cele- ted patriarchs still exist, and are plainly to be discerned The tribute paid however, by the followers ofthe Prophet to the burial place of Rachael, far more sincere and impressive than the walls of marble or the gilded domes; the de sire which the Turks feel that their ashes may rest near hers, is singular and extreme. All around this simple tomb, lie thickly strewn the graves of the Mussulmans. A trait such a«»his, speaks more for the character of this people than many volumes written in their praise; for it cannot be for any greatness ,or wisdom, or holiness, in the character of her who sleeps beneath, [for which qualities thev chow so much respect to the sepulchres of Abraham and David and his son]—hut sim ply for the high domestic virtues and qualities i which belong to Rachael; she was a devoted wife and an excellent mother; as well as the parent of a m ; ghfy people; and for these things do the Turks venerate her memory. It is a scene of no common interest, when a fnneral train issues from the gates of the city, and passing slowly over ihe plain of Rephidim, draws nigh to the lonely sepulchre, with an earnest desire that the parent or child whose remains they hear may sleep in a spot so vene rated. Was a Jew to cross the procession at this moment, he would be treated with deep curses, and looks of hatred and scorn, by the very people who are about to kneel around the ashes of one of his ancestors—Deeply fallen nation! forbidden even to draw near or how down at the place that is full of the remem brance of its ancient greatness. So rigidly are the Jews excluded fn-m entering the mon ument, that tbe four arches which support the moffrm.rs ste-^round the place, and the tur ban is .bay* 4, earth, wdiile the luneral wail passes Qv**\tfiu solidary w^ste, solemn sod impressive jurif the spirit* of the prophets •bemselvs had come-back, ami saw the daso lation of their land. No splendid pillow's of wood or stone, with inscriptions in letters ot gold, are here; not a single memorial which these people are other wise so fond of erecting in their cemetries.— It seems to be sufficient, that they are placed beneath the favorite sod; and small nnd nu merous mounds, over which the survivor som- times comes and weeps, which marks the pla ce* of their graves. If it be beautiful, in the cemetry, of Pere la Chaise, to see the widow or the orphan planting flowers over the ashes of the departed, and bathing them with -heir tears, it is surely more impressive to see the Oriental, in his simple and flowering garb, like the teat worn perhaps in patriarchal days, mourning over the lonely grave in the wilder ness, where human pride and vanity cannot come.—Travels in the East. closes the passage to the brain.

Never was the advantages of a strict ad herence to the adv-co contained in the two words above given, more folly illustrated, than in a circumstance which lately occurred at Im- laystown, Monmouth county in this State, and which I shall proceed to relate as briefly as possible. On Tuesday the 24th August, a hoy about 8 years of age, named Edward Foster, son ol Elanson Fo ter residing near Imiaysiown, wan dered frum his school fellows at noon into a small wood in quest of wild plumbs; and not withstanding the most diligent search was made by the neighbors for the little truant, not the remotest hint could be obtained for six days, ofthe c >urse he had taken. On missing the child at night, his parents be came alarmed, and commenced searching for him with lights, assisted by a few neighbors, >n the Woods and fields adjoining the school- house whence he had strayed. This search proving fruitless, it was given up until day light should render it more effectual. Early in the morning at least fifty persons renewed tin -•e.irc.h and continued it until night; when it ended as before in disappointment. Foiled but not discouraged, the neighbors, many o* them, will) some sympathising friends from A! lentown, again commenced looking for the lost one; and again night brought naught but dis- appointment rendered doubly di-couraging from the length of time the little suffjrer had been gone. And having effectually searched the woods and fields for miles the neighbors were entirely at a loss in what direction to turn their future efforts. Animated with hopes of final success for hope seemed to spring from almost utter hopelessness, the search was still renewed by some with each returning sun.— On the Saturday night after his loss, some per sons returning home from Imlaystown, heard a child crying near the head ofthe Imlaystown mill-pond. The nature of the ground which lay between them a d the place whence tin- sound issued alone dttered their proceeding immediately to tne spot. With the dawn of light ihe neighborhood was roused and the woods and mead <-vs searched; hut alas! all was as before in v un. Six nights had now -lapsed and the afflicted parents retired from he pursuit to shed tears of bitterness; their sorrow heightened by the dreadful uncertainty that hung over the object of their affections On Monday morning the 30th Aug. two per sons in the neighborhood having occasion to be up, before day, again heard what they sup- posedHo be the famt cry of a child, as if m pain. The intelligence was quickly spread through several in ighborhoods and upwards of 150 persons from all quart-rs turned out to make a final effort. After searching the swamps at the head of the mill-pond some oi the party heard a low moaning, pro ceeding from some tall white grass, and a sig nal being given thev surrounded the spot — When one of the persons p rceivmg a place where something had entered. Forcing hi*- way through the grass and briars which we*, quite as high as a man's head, and where the water and mud were above his knees, he dis covered, to his joyful surprize, the little suffe rer alive; but lying with Ids lower extremities in the water; his head and shoulders being sup ported by the white grass winch he had pres sed down for a bed He was immediately conveyed with every demonstration of heartfelt joy to Imlaystown On being stript, he presenteda spectacle, the re collection of which must bring tears to the eyes of ail who beheld him. Emaciated until th bones nearly projected through the skin. But enough—my heart bleeds at the remembrance It appears that being bewildered, he wandered into the place where he was found, and passed the first and each subsequent Dight in the same spot; not having eaten a single morsel for six days and nights. The bed the little creature had made for himself, was within six feet ofthe main creek, and a few turns would have carried him into a watery grave. There is now good reason to believe that he will finally recover under the judicious care of Dr Fort, and soon be restor ed to health. The editor is requested to give this an insertion as a stimulant to perseverance m other similar circnmstauces.

It may save much needless apprehension to state on the authority of the English work on insect transformations, that it is an unfounded prejudice that Earwigs get in to the ear.

I78&, the Naval Reminiscence—About a year previ ous to the declaration of war against Great Britain, the English Frigate Macedonian ar rived at Norfolk where her commander Gapt. Carden and his officers, were treated with all the hopitality for which the citizens of that citv are distinguished. The Frigate United States was then lying there, under the com mand of Commodore Decatur, between whom and Cap Carden the customary civilities pass ed. At a dinner given to Capt Carden on board the United States, the comparative mer its of the two vessels became the theme of remark, iu which Capt. Carden maintained with some warmth the superiority ot his own new and beautiful ship. Decatur, with great delicacy replied that he should sincerely re gret the contingency which would place them in an attitude of mutual hostility, and waved the subji.-ct. Little did the gallant Captain ofthe Macedonian then dream that the short space of a year and a half would prove to his mortification the fallacy of his opinion; hut so it was After the return of the Mace doman to England, and the subsequent decla- tion of war, she sailed to join the squadron on our coast, and after touching tit one of the Western Islands, a vessel was descried, which not answering the signals of the day, was know,) to be either a French or an American frigate. The greatest enthusiasm pervaded the ship, and Capt. Carden exultingly ex claimed to one of his office s, “If she be a French frigate we will give her 25 minutes— If a Yankee, we will take her in 120 minutes.” The engagement commenced, but the Mace donian having the wind, was enabled to choose her own distance, in consequence of which the United States could not bring her to close ac tioa, until the lapse of more than an hour * * * When the British flag was lowered, the frigate was hailed from the United States, “What ship is thatl” The answer came back, “his Brittauir Maje sty’s frigate Macedonian John S. Carden commander;” on hearing which Decatur in a hurried manner, and with a quivering voice, produced by a momentary gush offeeling.direc- ted the officer wi< h the trumpet to ask if Capt. Carden was weli. He was answered in the affirmative, and in a I w minutes Capt. Carden was on deck of the United States, looking anxioudv around for the person of his old friend D catur. The Comodore being dress ed in a short roundabout, with an old tarpau tin hat, and his face disguised and blackened with powder and smoke, it was not until hn advanced towards Capt. Carden with his hand extended, that the Captain could distinguish him among the multitude of discolored visages that surrounded him- He there learned the capture of the Guerriere and the Frolic, and subsequently remarked to a friend that though he was pained to hear ofthe tarnished reputa tion of his Sovereign’s flag, he could not but feel an inward satisfaction that hi* was not the first name upon the sad catalogue.

Animal Magnetism —-The following fact, which is so interesting to tbe history of Mag netism, has taken place in the department of Gers, at the residence ofthe Judge ofthe peace tor the Canton Condor, in the presence of di vers resj>cctable persons: John r, a farmer, aged twenty-three, had an abscess inside ot the upper part of his leg. The professional men who attended him pre vailed on the patient to suhrnit to a punct.u r e, but tbe greatest caution and fortitude were necessary, as the crural artery, which traversed tbe tumor, was frightfully enlarged Count de B , whose magn Deal power is remarkable, proposed to magnetise the pa* tient to produce insensibility in that part ofthe body where the operation was to be performed, lor the purpose of sparing him those suflVrings which would he unavoidable in a waking state. The proposal was accepted. Al the end of two minutes the patient was plunged in a mag netic state—Somnolency manifested itself im mediately, but without any particular con sciousness. The patient replied to his mag- netiser, that he sought him in vain, and that he could neither see the disease, nor the cause thereof. Dr. Lai*** performed then the sur» gical operation, which had been deemed re quisite, with the greatest dexterity. He re- 1 peatedlv plunged the instrument into the open* ing made by the bistoury, in order to give an issue to the purulent matter, when it - flow was impeded by albuminious flakes. The wound was afterwards bound up. During the whole operation the patient remained motionless like a statue, without his magnetical sleep bring in the least disturbed: and on the physicians pro* posing that the magnetical state should be in terrupted, M de B spontaneously awoke the patient Dr. R. approached him, and asked if he would submit to the operation. “I must,’* replied the patient, “because it is necessary.’* Dr. R. announced then to him that it would be useless to begin again, as the operation had been performed already. The astonishment of the patient was excessive, when proof i>f this was exhibited to him. He had felt nothing, experienced nothing, and absolutely remember* ed nothing, but the act of M. De B. when he placed the palm of his hand on his forehead to make him fall asle p* Extraordinary Descent in a Diving Dell.—An attempt is now makiug to raise the sloop D troit, of Albany, which was run foul of and sunk on the 22^\ of April last, in the channel ol the highlands, opposite west point, with a cargo estimated to be worth about $25 000 Bv means of the diving-bell chains Have been pla ced under her, forward and aft, which, when properly connected, are to be used in raising her. The weight to be raised, is estimated at from one hundred to one hundred ?nd twenty ton*. Mr. John Blair who has frequently de scended in tbe diving bell, in various parts of the United States has od this occasion far ex ceeded any undertaking ofthe kind ou record. H»- descended several times to the bed of the river, being a dep’h of one hundred and eighty feet, where he remained on one occasion, something more thanthree quarters of an hour. Tbe pressure he experienced, was so great, that when drawn up, it was found necessary to place him in a warm bed for several hours, before he was sufficiently restored to converse. The bell is made of black walnut, about two and a^half feet in diameter at the upper part, by seven feet at the base, and about six feet in height; strongly secured with iron hoops, and loaded at the lower flange with pig iron, secur ed to the rim by canvass bandage, it is per fectly simple in its construction, and unprovid ed with the means of deriving any sup ply of air. other than that contained within it, when first let down upon the water.

We are indebted to the politeness of a gen tleman of this place who was present yesterday the 27th instant, at the execution of Cox at Charleston, Va. (for the murder of Col. Dunn, late superintendent of the Armory at Harper’s ferry,) for some notes from which we are ena bled to present to our readers an account, ne« ces\nria!ly imperfect, of the awful scene. At half past twelve o’clock Capt. Hunter’s Troop of Horse with Capt. Steward’s compa ny of Infantry received the Prisoner at the jail. He walked a short distance and was then pla ced in a Barouche in company with two Rev. gentlemen ofthe Catholic Church; a hearse containing bis coffin being in the train. The procession moved to the place of execution, which was open lot, situated at the fast end ofthe town, between the Harper’s Fer ry and Sbepherds-town roads. When ar rived at the gallows, the Military formed a square around it, and the Prisoner, accompa nied by the Clergy, and the Sheriff, J.miesL. Ransou, E^q ascended the plattforrn. After relious exercises were performed the Clergy descended and left the Sheriff’alone with the Prisoner Cox, with much firmness but with tears of contrition and sorrow stood up and addressed tbe multitude, amounting to be tween three aod four thousand persons. He warned young men to guard against cards and drunkeness, and bad company; to observe and pursue the salutary advice of their parents.— He said that a total disregard to parental coun sel and the observance ofill advice, hdd brought him to tbe awful place on which he stood After the address, which lasted several min utes, the Sheriff adjusted the fatal cord, and having taken an affectionate and feeling adieu, he descended from the platform. There standing on the threshold of eternity, Cox, directed his views Heavenward; raising his pinioned hands as high as possible, he prayed audibly for some time, and then he threw his handkerchief, bed* wed with many a hitter tear, as a signal to the officer that all was ready.—The drop descended; the arms of the suspended criminal fell along either side of his body, a convulsive motion of the chests was observed, and the forfeiture of life for life was paid. After the expiration' of twenty minutes, the corpse was lowered into its coffin, aud deliv ered to his friends, whose purpose was to re* move it to Loudon county for interment. On the night pteceedmg the execution Cox took no rest The ministers of God were with him, aod he received from their bands the holy sacrament, both on Thursday evening and Friday morning He left a written con fession, which he said he would be willing to seal with his blood, in which he implicated se ven other men as advisers to the deed for which it was bis lot to suffer, ft is said that those persons have absented themselves. In his address from the scaffold he made allusion •o these evil advisers as being the cause of ‘oJa dreadful fate. A fortnight before estate
