POETRY.
BESSY BELL.
UY GEORGE T. MORRIS, ESQ.
When life look* drear and lonely, love.
And pleasant fancies fiee,
Then will the muses only, love,
Bestow a thought on me;
Mine is a harp which pleasure, love,
To waken, strives in vain;
Tojoy’s entrancing measure, love,
It ne’er can thrill again!
Why mock me, Bossy Bell!
Then do not ask me ever, love,
For rapture-woven rhymes.
For vain is each endeavor, love.
To sound joy’s play-bell chimes:
Y’et still believe me, dearest love,
Though dull my song may he,
This heart still /foals sim crest, love,
Ami grateful turn* to thee!
My once true Bessy Bel!!
Those eyes still rest upon me, love,
I feel their magic spell;
With that same look you won me, love,
Fair gentle Besay Bell:
My doom you’ve idly spuken love,
You never can be mine—
Y’et though my heart is broken, love,
Still, lady, it is thine!
Adieu, false Bessy Bell!

The Russian Rail Road.—Tlte Empe
ror Nicholas is extremely anxious for the
introduction into Russia of these wonder
ful accelerations of commerce. In litis
spirit it is tlitit he lias afforded his counte
nance and protection to the first under
taking of this kind that has been set on
foot in his kingdom. The St. Petersburg
and Zarseoe-Selo Railway is the proper
ty of shareholders, among whom the Em
peror himself is an extensive proprietor,
and it has most extensive privileges con
ceded to it by au ordinance, dated the
21 st of March last. It commences near
ly in the heart of St. Petersburg, and,
continuing for alntut eighteen miles, ter
minates in tlie great park of Pawlowsk,
a place of great resort ii»r the citizens,
and where a splendid edifice for public
entertainment, with concert and ball
rooms, conservatories, water, gardens,
and fountains have been erected. The
ironwork on the rail road is of the most
massive description. The rails weigh
.(ifty-five pounds per yard. The locomo
tive engines arc pt'OVftled with an appa
ratus which clears the rails front all ob
structions before lite on-coming of the
engines, and to give notice to the inhabi
tants of the approach of the trains,
each carries a piece of musical mechan
ism, which gives out a sound equal to
that of a brass band. The line was com
menced in April last, and was to be o-
pened tu the course of October.
Hindoo Women.—A native writer, edu
cated at the Hindoo College, has given,
in a series of papers on the domestic
manners, etc., of the Hindoos, the follow
ing picture of the married ladies of his
country:—“The married women of the
Hindoos are a set of curious beings. As
soon as the nuptial day passes away, their
souls become entranced in a multiplicity
of pleasures. Then is the time for them
to learn all those arts that may heighten
their fascinations and captivate the hearts
of their husbands. Then is the time for
them to polish their locks with molten
wax; to adorn their noses and foreheads
with thick spots of ink and red lead; to
beautify their persons with powdered
turmeric; to deck their necks with gar
lands of llowcrs and make their lips and
teeth, by meesee, as black as the wing of
a raven. Rose-water, ottar, mathagossa
(a fragrant stuff’lor the hair,) and a varie
ty of odoriferous things, are then lavish
ed, to impregnate their hair with fra
grance, and no means remain untried to
monopolise all the love and affection of
their esteemed lords. In order to com
bine in them all the charms of beautv,
they glow with the ambition to be laden
with barbaric art and gold, and are sel
dom found sighing for cheeks of roses,
eyes of stars, bosoms of ivory, lips of ru
by, voice of cuckoos, or for any other
dear object of poetical inspiration, in
which the thoughts of many English la
dies are absorbed. Nothing can be of
greater moment to them than to sparkle
in gents and jewels; and as long as they
tire not decorated from head to toe with
all tlie ornaments of the country, their
greedy desires and requests arc unknown.
They are always wrapt in black or red
bordered sacrees, usually of ten cubits
long, and have nothing to do with trousers,
sashes, gowns, or bonnets. Whenever
they have to go to any of their relations’
houses', they are sure lo be attired in the
finest clothes of Dacca, whose gorgeous
trimmings, loosely flow in tlie air, while
they move all veiled with measured steps.
Very few ot them are to be found to pos
sess sociality; their flashes of wit degen
erate into levity; and the jokes which
they crack with each other border, in
most instances; ou indecorum and inde
cency. Those who are capable of read
ing their vernacular language amuse
themselves sometime with the voluptuous
poems of Bedda-soonder, and Chuudr-
kaut; hut those who have no knowledge
even of their own alphabets, sadlv spend
their days and nights with gabbling and
ga milling.”—Asiatic Journal.
Rheumatism—Singular Discovery.— Mr.
Barillard, the distinguished physiologist
of France, has announced, as a notable
discovery, the inflammation of the lin ng
membranes of tlie heart as an almost in
variable accompaniment of acute articu
lar rheumatism. This gentleman is, we
believe, the president of the Paris Phre
nological Society. It is also announced
bv the medical journals as a singular co
incidence, that Dr. Johnson, of London,
and Mr. Proisc, of Paris, have simultane
ously discovered that acute and chronic
rheumatism are peculiar affections of the
sheaths of the nerves, and of the muscles.

Female Advocate.—In the Rhode Isllind
legislature, on Friday last, a petition for
Joseph Salisbury, imprisoned on a con
viction for theft, praying to lie liberated,
was heard, and dismissed. On the follow
ing day as we learn from the report of
the Morning Courier.
“His wile, a good looking woman, now
appeared and requested to be heard in fa
vor of her husband’s petition, to which
the house assented. She stated that die
lived at Shcekonk, Massachusetts, had
four children, the eldest four years old,
one had been sick seven months, and she
had nothing in the house to eat but a little
Indian meal—that her husband was able
to work, when he had his liberty, was a
good husband, and provided well for his
family, who now were in a very suffering
condition. She therefore wished lie might
be discharged from prison, and would pre
vent his coming into the Slate again.—
She would even rem:;ve further from the
State. The advocate used too powerful
arguments to be resisted hv the house,
and the petition was granted nem. con.”
Gypsies.—The character of the G ypsies,
as found in England and throughout the
continent of Europe, and tlie peculiarities
attached to their habits of living, are
such as to induce a very general curiosi
ty as to their history aud origin. They
are generally represented as fond of a
wandering lift', cunning, addicted to theft,
and devoid ot the qualities which diunify
and adorn society, of the ordinary tram
mels of which they are extremely impa
tient. A writer from Russia, however,
who had visited that country chiefly with
the view of having intercourse and con
versing with the Gypsies, says that at
Moscow lie found many of them living in
large houses and surrounded by the luxu
ries and associations of liieh life? He
describes their perfection in vocal music
as very astonishing, and says that their
choirs surpass any other for the richness
of their voices and thorough knowledge
of musical-science. The same writer
relates an anecdote ot the celebrated
Mad a me Catalan, who was so much de
lighted with a Gypscy female singer who
had followed that wonderful vocalist, in a
performance before a brilliant audience,
that she took from her own shoulders a
shawl which had been presented lo her
by one of the sovereigns of Europe, and
gave it to her rival. The Russian Gyp
sies, or Romancers as they call them
selves, resemble the members of the race
in England—brown and for the most part
beautiful, their eyes fiery and wildly in
telligent, their hair, coal black and some
what coarse. They said that their fa
thers came from Romancy land, but where
that laud was they knew not.
tient that the pin does not remain in the
throat, and every effort made to push it
down with the linger, induces inflamma
tion, and renders tlte illusion more com
plete. The physician himself is some
times deceived, and operations have been
uselessly performed, to the great danger
of the patient. In relation to such a case,
Dr. Jacob’s observes, “Much better had
he committed the harmless deception
sometimes practised by my father, of slip
ping into the basin a pin answering to the.
description of the one swallowed bv the
patient ”—Boston Transcript.
Immortality.—Man, at the age of twenty,
retains not a paiticle of the matter in
which his mind was invested when he
was born. Nevertheless, at (he age of
eighty years, he, is conscious of being the
same individual he was as far back as his
memory can go—that is to say, to the pe
riod when he was four or five years old.
\\ hatever it be, therefore, in which this
consciousness oi identity resides, it can
not consist of a material substance, since,
il it had been material, it must have been
repeatedly changed, and the source of
identity had been destroyed. It is, con
sequently, au ethereal spirit, and as it re
mains the same, throughout all the altera
tions that take place in the body, it is not
dependent on the body for its existence,
and is thus calculated to survive the ever
changing frame by which it is encircled.
The Natchez Courier of the IGlhult.,
states fh;<t a serious accident happened to
the lion. George Poindexter, at the Man
sion House in that city, on the night of the
14fh. In going out of his room, lie miss
ed his way and stepped out of an oj»en
door in an upper story, at the entrance of
a lobby, and unfortunately fell to the
ground—bv which accident, his right leg
and left thigh were broken, and his right
inkle sprained. It is feared (says the
Courier) thftt it will have a fatal result.

First Discovery of the Cow Fox.—At tlie
late meeting of the Royal Academy of
Medicine, in France, it was stated by Mr.
Bousquet, that the first source of this vir
tue was discovered by a woman, named
Fluery, in milking one of her cows. Ob
serving a large postule on one of the teats,
she discovered similar postnles on her
hands. Bring alarmed, she was referred

The Late's Delay.—The “laws delay”
is mentioned hy Sliakspearc its among the
greatest evils, to which civilized nations
are subjected—and it is certainly a griev
ous ill. Justice, if not promptly admin
istered, loses half its value—ami it is the
duty of every government, which i' : desi
rous of promoting the comfort and pros
perity of the citizens, to cause justice to
be administered promptly and impartially.
Free, Christian governments may take a
useful lesson from barbarians in tin’s psr-
tieular—among whom justice is always
administered promptly, and it may be,
also, as impartially as in oilier countries,
where mouths and years are required for
preparing measures to mystifv a jury.
The following incident places in a strong
contrast the Mahometan and the Christian
modes of dispensing justice.
A number of years since, before the
French had taken possession of Algiers, a
Portugese slap entered thui port—and the
captain on landing happened to meet a
Yenitian, to whom he was indebted five
hundred zechius—about a thousand dol
lars. The Veuitiau demanded his mon
ey, hut the Portuguese., though lie owned
tlie debt, refused to discharge it at that
time. Upon this the plaintiff summoned
his debtor be litre tlie Dev, who without
hearing any thing of' the dispute, asked
the parties whether they wished for Chris
tina or Mahometan justice; l>emg answer
ed Christian, the Dey adjourned th“ cause
till the ensuing week; aud when they came
at the time npp tinted, his highness pro
longed the adjournment t<>a month, at the
expiration of which lie put them off lor a
whole year- Surprised at this proceed
ing, the euiliau ventured to represent to
the Dey, that his ulliiirs required his im
mediate departure from Algiers; and that
this procrastination ol his highness was so
inconvenient that it might be the occasion
of his ruin. The Dey interrupted lnm,
and said—did you not ask Christian jus
tice? Why, I know it is a constant prac
tice with Christian lawyers to draw out
their pleadings so that very often no deci
sion ever takes place. I have been in
formed that there is a Christian tribunal,
called the court of chancery, where some
suits have outlived the years of Methusa-
lem. If you will be satisfied with Ma
hometan justice, 1 shall settle your busi
ness in a few minutes. As the Yenitian
could not think of resisting the Dey’s au
thority, he implored his final determina
tion; when his highness pronounced the
following sentence. Let the PorUigujrse
instantly repay tlie two hundred and fill}
zecliins to the Yenitian. His highne*;s o<-

THE INDIAN’S REVENGE.
From Washington Irving's “Astoria."
As th“ party were proceeding up the
Columbia, near the month of tlie Wallah-
Wallah river, several Indian canoes put
off from the shore, to overtake them, and
a voice called upon them in French and
requested them to stop. They accord
ingly put to shore, and were joined by
ilu>sc iu the canoes. To their surprise,
they recognized in the person who hailed
them the Indian wife of Pierre Dorion,
iceompanied by her two children. >“?he
had a story to tt if, involving the fate of
severaiof our unfortunate adventurers.
Mr. John Reed, the Hibernian, it will
be remembered, had been detached (lu
ting the summer to the Snake river. Ilis
party consisted of four Canadians, Giles
LeClcre, Francois Landry, Jean Baptiste
Turcot, and Andre La Chapelle, togeth
er with two haulers, Pierre Dorion and
Pierre Delauney; Dorion, as usual, being
iceompanied by his wife and children.—
The objects of this expedition were two
fold; to trap beaver, anil to search f>r the
three hunters, Robinson, Hoback and
Renzer.
In the course of the autumn Reed lost
one man, Landry, hy death; another one,
Pierre Delaunev, who was ol’ a sullen,
perverse disposition, left him in a moody
fit, and was never heard of afterwards.
The number of his party was not, howev
er, reduced bv these losses, as tlie three
hunters, Robinson, Hoback and Renzer
had joined it.
Reed now bui’it a house on the fsnakc
river for their winter quarters, which be
ing completed, the party set wnout trap
ping. Renzer, Le Clerc, and Pierre
Dorion went about five day’s journey
from the wintering house to apart of the
country well stocked with beaver. Here
thev put up a hut, and proceeded to trap
with great success. While the men were
out limiting, Pierre Dorion’s wife remain
ed at home to dress the skins, and pre
pare the meats. She was tints employed
one evening, about the beginning of Janu
ary, cooking the supper of the hunters,
when she heard footsteps, and Le Clerc
staggered, pale and bleeding, into the
hut. He informed her that a party of
savages had surprised them while at their
traps, and had killed Renzer and her hus
band. 1L shad barely strength left to give
this information, when he sank upon the
ground.
The poor woman saw that the only
fourth day reached the house of y.
Reed. It was deserted, and all arou
were marks ot blood and signs of a fu
ous massacre. Not doubting that A
Reed and his party had fallen vistim
she turned in fresh horror from the sp<
For two days she continued hurrying lb
ward, ready to sink lor want of (bod, br
more solicitous about her children tin
herself. At length she reached a rate.?
ol the Rocky mountains, near the upp|
part ol tlie Y\ a Hah- Wallah river. Her ,
she chose a wild lonely ravine as her
place of winter refuge.
.She- had, fortunately, a buffalo robe
au.l three deer skins; ol these, and ofpmo
bark and cedar branches, she const rue t-J
ed a rude wigwam, which she pitched]
beside u mountain spring. Having mi
oilier food, she killed the two horses, and 1
smoked their flesh. The skins added to
cover her hut. Here she dragged out the
winter, with no other company than her
two children. Toward the middle of
March, her provisions were nearly ex
hausted; she therefore packed fm,.
mainder, slung it on her back and with
her helpless little ones, set out again on
liei wandering. Crossing the ridge of
mountains, she descended to the banks <4
the \\ allah-VVallah, and kept along I hr fix
until she arrived where that river throws
itself into the Columbia. She was hos
pitably received and entertained by iho
Wallah-Wallahs until the time when the
canoes passed.
On being interrogated, she could as
sign no reason lor this murderous attack
ot the savages; it appeared to he perfect
ly wanton and unprovoked. .Some oft ho
Astorians supposed it an act of butchery
by a roving baud of Blackfect; other j,
however, and with greater piobabilitv of
correctness, have ascribed it to the tribe
ot Pierced nosed Indians, m revenge lor
the death ol their comrade, hanged bv
order ol Mr. Clarke. Il so, it shows that
these sudden and apparently wanton
outbreakings ol sanguinary violence ou
the part of savages have often some pre
vious, though, perhaps, remote provoca
tion.
From Chateaubriand's last urort;.
Though Bonaparte entertained towards
De Chateaubriand the strongest feeling
of hostility, we have the following liberal
estimate ol the Emperor:
Napoleon.—When Napoleon, ibr the
second time, quit France, it was as
serted that ho fought Ins last battle. Lord
Byron, in his satirical ode against Napole
on, says,
**To /lie a prince—or live a slave,
Thy choice is moat ignobly hrav«« *
This was an incorrect esthiate of the
hope still kindling in a sou- 1 accustomed
to dominion and thirsting after the future.
Lord Bvrou imagined that the dictator .of
kings had abdicated his fame with his
sword, that he was about to die awav in
utter oblivion. Lord Byron should have
known that the destiny of Napulrou was
a muse, like all oilier great destinies; this
muse knew how to change an abortive
catastrophe into a sudden turn of fortune,
which would have revived and imparted
fresh youth to its hero. Tlie solitude of
Napoleon in his exile and in his tomb, has.
thrown another kind over a brilliant
memory. Alexander did not die in sight
of Greece, he disappeared amid tlie
pomp of distant Babylon. Bonaparte did
not close Ins eves in the presence of
France; he passed away iu the gorgeous
horizon of the torrid zoue. The man who
had shown himself in such powerful reali
ty vanished like a dream; his life, which
belonged to history, co-operated in the
poetry of his death. He now sleeps lor
ever, like a hermit or a paria, beneath a.
willow, in a narrow valley, surrounded
by steep rocks, at the extreme of a lonely
path. The depth of the silence which
presses upn him can only be compared
to the easiness of the tumult which had
surrounded him. Nations are absent, their
throng has retired. The bird of the tropics,
harnessed to the car of the sun, as Buffim
magnificently expresses it, speeding ltis
flight downwards from tlie planet of light,
rests alone for a moment over the ashes,
the weight of which has shaken the
equilibrium of the globe. Bonaparte
ernezed the ocean to repair to his final
exile, regardless of tnr.w waiiiifm ^ky
which delighted Columbus, Vasco <le
