the broken heart.
Paio as a white rose withering, she lay,
Lovely, though dying, and her eye divine?
Gleamed o’er the deepening shadows of decay,
Like a stray sunbeam on a ruined shrine.
Sheseemed too beautiful for Death's embrace,
And holiness engirt her ns a zone;
Language had dad, but Music's pictured grace
Hung on those lips that late breathed its lone.
Oh thou! t.h#» perjured, cruel,faithless, blind!
J fmv oould’si thou bow such sweetness lo the dust?
IIow break the h *art, w here thy lov’d image shrined,
Dwelt in the beauty of undonbling trust?
But lima didst break it: Nature could not cope
With love neglected, whose undying power,
E’en from the very sepulchre of Hope,
Gushed fort h like t he pxrfemie from a trampled, (lower.
Tears for thy absence, sighs at thy neglect.
Prayers for thy safety, smiles a* thy return,
And a fond blindness to thy worst defect;
Thou dhLt repay with undisserahledscorn.
Vet there sh ’ lay, and on her dying bed
She bless’d thy name: then kissed the luck of hair,
Thai from thy brow in happier days she shred
Then looked to H *aven,and prayed to meet thee there!
Ami with n Indy look of hope and peace,
She bowed her head, the parting pang was o’er:
Yet no convulsion marked the soul’s release,
The pallid lip a sraile of rapture wore;
Her fleeting soul one radiant beam bad caught,
Warm from tho fountain of Eternal Day,
And loft ihe imag* of the breathing thought
Impressed in beauty on the breathless clay.
I saw her buried with patrician state;
'l he sable plmn- s wav’d proudly o’er her bier.
With all the pomp that riches arrogate.
To deck the dust, to which they yield no tear.
Ami us 1 gazed Upon the formal scene,
Where all w as cold cojlccteoness and art
I thought imio tear of sec ret grief hail been
A fitter tribute to a broken heart.

MARTIN LUTHER INCOGNITO.
From (he Soul/urn Literary Messenger.
Mr. Editor—Public attention has re-
cently been attracted, witli great justice,
to tbe Memoirs of Luther, by Professor
Michelet, of Paris; a work remarkable,
first, as composed almost entirely of the
Reibrmer’s own words, and secondly, as
proceeding from a Roman Catholic.—
^ ou will not, I trust, deem it unseasona
ble to accept the translation of a very
rare and entertaining document, relating
some scenes eminently illustrative of this
great man’s private manners. Allow me
to premise, by way of refreshing the rea
der’s memory, that after tbe celebrated
appearance of Luther at tbe Diet of
Worms, lie was secretly snatched away
by bis friend t he Elector, and kept for
some months in the castle of Wartburg.
The paper which follows gives some ac
count of his return. It is from the pen
of an honest t?wiss, and is written in
the Swiss-German dialect; but is so lull
of racy diction ".and inimitable naivete,
that it cannot fail to gratify every lover of
ancient story. I have availed mvself,
here and there, of an antique idiom or
phrase, as remarkably comporting with
the rude original.*
Respectfully, &o»
JAMES W. ALEXANDER.
I cannot forbear to relate, though it may
chance to seem trifling and even childish,
how i, John Kessler, and my comrade,
John Routiner, fell into company with
Martin Luther, at the time when he was
enlarged from Iiis captivity, and was on
his way back to Wittenberg. FoFas wc
were journeying thither, for the sake ol'
studying the holy scriptures, wc came to
Jena, in the Tlmringian territory, (and
God knows in a dismal storm,) and after
much inquiry in the city lor an inn where
we might lodge for the night, we were ut
terly unable to find any. The taverns
were shut against us on every side, for it
was carnival-time, at which season there
is little care for wayfaring people. So
we had come to the outskirts of the town,
thinking Logo on further, to find if possi
ble some hamlet where we might be en
tertained. Under the very gate of the
town, as we went out, there met us a rev
erend man, who greeted us kindly, and
asked whither we were bound at so late
an hour, lor he said there was neither
house nor court-yard offering us lodging,
wltieh wo could reach before the dead of
nioht, and that the way was intricate;
therefore lit* counselled us to abide where
we were. 'We answered, “good sir, wc
have been to evtuy hostelry which lias
been shown to us, hut every where we
have been denied enhance; we must
jif.-xls go further,” Then he asked wheth
er \v€ hod inquired at the Llack Bear.—
To which wc replied, “no such inn have
we seen, pray tel! us V/berc we may find
it.” He then pointed out the place, a lit
tle without the town. And though all the
innkeepers had dismissed us, yet no
sooner had we reached the Black Bear,
than the host came to ths door, helped us
in, and gave us the kindest welcome, tak
in- us into the common room. There
we found a man sitting alone at a table,
with a little book lying before him, who
saluted us in a friendly manner, and in
vited us to come forward and seat our
selves l>3 r him at the table. Now, (under
favor he it spoken), our shoes were so
clogged with the filth of the -roads, that
we dared not to enter with freedom, hut
crept in softly, and sat upon a bench hy
the door. But he invited us to drink with
him, which indeed we could not refuse.
After we had accepted his friendly and
courteous advances, wc placed ourselves,
as he desired, at the table near him, and
ordered some wine that wc might drink
to liis honor; having no other thought than
that he was a trooper, for lie sat after the
manner of the country, in a red cloak,
with doublet and hose, a sword by his
side, with his right hand upon the pommel
and his left grasping the hilt. He soon
began to ask the place of our birth, and
then, answering his own question, added,
“You are Switzers. From what part of
Switzerland come your” We answered,
“From St. Gallon.” “You will find,”
said he, “at Wittenberg, whither I un
derstand you are going, some excellent
people, such as doctor Jerome Schurf,
and Iiis brother doctor Augustin.” We
replied, that we hail letters to them; anil
then proceeded to ask in turn, “Sir, can
you certainly inform us whether Martin
Luther is now at Wittenberg, or in what
place he is! “I have sure information,-’
said lie, “that Luther is not in Wittenberg,
at this time; but he is to he there shortly.
Philip Melanethon however is there; he
teaches the Greek tongue, as there are
* Th* durum "nt may 1>r seen in Mnrhemrka’s History
of the German information, vol. l t D, 319. Berlin, 1331.
others who teach the Hebrew, both which
languages I earnestly exhort you to study;
for they are necessary preparations to
the understanding of the scriptures.”
Wc answered, “God he praised, 1 if our
lives are spared, we shall not rest until
we see and hear that man; on his account
it is that we have undertaken this journey;
for we understood that he was minded to
set aside the priesthood, with the mass,
as an unauthorized service. Now, inas
much as we have, from our youth up,
been trained and set apart, by our parents,
to become priests, we desire to hear what
reason he can show lor such a design.” -
After some conversation ot this kind,
he asked where wc had already studied.
We answered, “At Basle.” “How lares
it,” said he, “at Basle? Is Erasmus Ro-
terodamus there at present? W hat is he
doing?” “.Sir,” replied we, “so far as
we know, all things go on well. But
what Erasmus is doing there is no one can
tell, for lie keeps himself quiet and alooi.”
Now it struck us with great suprise that
the trooper should talk thus, and that he
was able to discourse about Schurf, and
Philip, and Erasmus, and about the im
portance of both Greek and Hebrew.—
Moreover, he would now and then let slip
a Latin word, which made us suspect he
was something different from an ordinary
cavalier. “Prithee,” said lie, “what is
thoughtof’Luther in Switzerland?” “Sir,”
said I, “there, as elsewhere, there are
diversities of opinion. Some there arc who
cannot enough extol him, and thank God
that by Iiis means lie has revealed his
truth and discovered error; hut others de
nounce him as an intolerable heretic; and
such are chiefly the clergy.” “Ah,” said
he “I could warrant it was the parsons.”
In such talk he continued to be very so
ciable, so that my comrade made free to
take up the little bool; which lay before
him and open it. It was a Hebrew Psal
ter. He then laid it down, and the troop
er took it up. Hereupon we fell into still
greater doubt ns to who he might be.—
Then said my comrade, “I would give a
finger off my hand, if I could thereby un
derstand this language.” The man re
plied, “You may attain it, if vou will on-
ly bestow labor; I also desire this attain
ment greatly, and am exercising my sell
every day to make greater proficiency.”
By this time the dav was declining and
it had become quite dark, and the host en
tered to look at the table. As lie saw our
eager curiosity about Martin Luther, he
said, “My good fellows, had you been
here two days sooner, you might have
been gratified, for he was then sitting at
this very table. And with this he pointed
out the place. We were now chagrined
and vexed at our own dclav, and provok
ed at the had roads which had been our
hinderancc; but wC said, “It rejoices us
to be in the house, and at the very table
where he has lately sat.” At this the
host could not but. laugh, and went imme
diately out. After a little while, he call
ed me to the outside of the door. I was
alarmed, and began to think with myself
in what I had been unseemly, or of-what
I could he suspected. The host then
said to me, “.Since I perceive in very
truth that you long to see and hear Lu
ther—the man who sits by you is lie.”—
This I look in jest, and said, “Ay, sir
host, you would fain mock me, and stay
my curiosity with Luther's lodging.” He
replied “it is assuredly he; nevertheless,
do nothing to show that you recognize
him.” I straightway left the host, still
being incredulous, and returning to the
room seated ptyself at the table, aud was
very desirous to let my companion know
what the jiost laid disclosed. I therefore
turned myself towards the door and at
the same time towards him, saying softly,
“The host says that this is Luther.”—
Like myself he could not believe it, and
said, “Perhaps he said it was llutlenj
and 3’ou have misunderstood him.” Now,
as the horseman’s dress suited better
with Hutten, than with Luther, who was
a monk, I persuaded myself that the host
had said, “It is Hutten;” for the begin-
ing of both names sounds alike. All
that I said, therefore, was under tho sup
position that I was conversing with Ulrich
ah Hutten.
Ji] the midst of these things there came
in two merchants, who wished to pass
the night, and when they had laid aside
their habits and spurs, one of them placed
beside him a small unbound book. Martin
asked what hook it was. “It is Dr.
Luther’s exposition of sundry gospelsand
epistles, just printed and published; have
you never seen it?” At this time the
host appeared and said “Draw near to the
table, jot".vo arc about to eat.” Wc how
ever spoke to him sod begged that lie
would bear with us /o far as !■' yivc us
something by ourselves. But the iuUt
said, “Dear fellows, scat yourselves by
the gentleman at the table, I will give
you good cheer.” And when Martin
heard this, lie said, “Come along, I will
pay the reckoning.”
During the meal Martin gave us much
friendly and godly discourse, so that both
we and the tiades-pcople paid more at
tention to his words than to all our food.
Among other things he lamented with a
sigh,- that while the princes and nobles
were now assembled at tbe Diet at Nu
remberg, on account of God’s word, and
the impending affairs and grievances of
the German nation; yet they undertake
nothing Inur to spend their time in ex
pensive jousts, cavalcades, frolics arid
debauchery. ‘‘But such,” said he, “aro
our Christian princes!”
He further said that it was his hope that
gospel truth would bring forth fruit, among
our children and descendants, who are
not noisoned By popish error, but are now
grounded in the pirre truth of God’s word
more than among their parents, in whom
error is so rooted that it cannot be easily
eradicated. Upon this the trades-people
muted in expressing their opinion, arid
the elder of them said, “I am a plain,
simple layman; I have no particular
knowledge ol'this business. But this I
t Ulrirli von TIuttpn,a celebrjitod and sfa tinman,
nml n friom! of l.uth.r, died Iao years after those e-
[ vent*, in 1523.
must be either an angel from heaven or a
devil out of hell. 1 have here ten gulden
that I would gladly give that I might con
fess to ban; for 1 believe he is the man
that can and would direct my conscience,
Meanwhile the liost came to us and said
privately, “Do not trouble yourself about
the reckoning; Martin has settled for your
supper.” This gave us great joy, not for
tiie sake of the money or the clieelr, hut
that wc had been entertained hy such a
man. After supper the merchants arose,
and went into the stable to see to their
horses; while Martin was left alone with
us in the room. \Ve then thanked him for
his favor, and at tjie same time let him
understand that we took him for Ulrich
ah Hutten. But he answered, “I am not
lie.” Here the host came near, to whom
Martin said, “I have to-night been made a
nobleman, for these Switzers take me to
he Ulrich ah Hutten.” “And you are no
such person,” said the host, “but Martin
Lutlier.” At which he laughed, and said
with great glee, “These take me for Hut-
ten, and you for Martin Luther; -I shall
soon be called Martinus Marcolfus.” And
after some such discourse, he took a high
beer-glass, and saiJ, after the custom of
tlie country, “Switzers, join me in a friend
ly glass to your health.” And as I was
about to take the glass, lie changed it, and
ordered instead of it a flask of wine, say
ing, “The beer is to you an unaccustom
ed beverage; drink wine.”
With that he arose, threw his knight’s
cloak over his shoulder, and hid us good
night, giving us his hand as he said,
When you arrive at Wittenberg, com
mend me to Dr. Jerome Schurf.” We
said, “we will cheerfully do so, but how
shall we name you, that lie may under
stand your greeting?” “Only say,” said
lie, “that he who is on his way greets you;
lie will soon understand you.” And so
saying he went to bed. After this the
trades-people returned, ordered the host
to bring them something lo drink, and had
much conversation concerning the un
known guest who had been sitting by
them. The host made known that lie
took him to he Lutlier, \vliich the merch
ants believing, lamented very much that
they had behaved themselves so rudely in
bis presence; Saying that they would on
this account rise so much earlier the next
morning before lie departed, in order to
beg that lie would not take it in ill part,
nor be offended, as they had not known
his person. This they—«iccordiiigly did,
finding him the next morning in lhe stable.
Martin answered them—“You said last
night at supper, that you would willingly
give ten florins that you might confess to
Lutlier. When therefore you confess lo
him you will discover whether I am he.”
And without betraying himself any further
lie mounted and rode on his way to Wit
tenberg. On the same day we set out on
the same road, and arrived at a village
lving at the foot of a hkuhu.uu, I tl>:..n
the mountain is called Orlamund, and the
village Nassliausen. The stream which
flows through tiffs was swollen by the
rains, and the bridge being in part carried
away, so that horses could not pass, we
turned aside into.the village, where wc
chanced to fall in with the same merch
ants who entertained us thcr£ free of cost,
for LuLiicr’s sake. On the Saturday after,
being one day after Luther’s arrival, wc
called upon Dr. Jerome Schurf, in order
to present our letter. When wc were
ushered into the room, whom should we
see but Martin Luther, the same as at
Jena, together with Philip Melanethon,
Justus Joducos Jonas, Nicholas Amsdorf
and Doctor Augustin Schurf, relating
what had befallen him in his absence from
Wittenberg. He greeted#s and said,
laughing as lie pointed with his finger,
“This is the Philip Melanethon of whom
I told you.’’ Upon which Philip turned
to us aud asked many questions, which we
answered according to our knowledge.—
And thus wc passed the day on our part,
with great joy and satisfaction.
FLOWER BAZAAR.
The Turks are remarkably fond of
flowers, and their poets sometimes as
sume tlie name of a favorite one as their
designation. Wehbi, “the gifted,” is
better known by the name Stmbuli-side,
“Child of a Hyacinth,” from his admira
tion of that flower. This taste originated
with Kara Mustnplia, the vizier of Ma
homed IV..
The Sultan was a man of retired hab
its, fond of the country and all its plea
sures. This propensity the vizer encour
aged, and among other rural pursuits, he
endeavored to inspire him with a love of
flowers and their ciilture. To tiffs end
he sent to all the pashas of the empire to
search for \v]; :, tcver was rare and beauti
ful in their pashahes. They collected,
therefore, the seeds and roots of all the
most beautiful flowers of tlie islands nnd
continent of the Turkish empire, and
sent them to Constantinople, where, hy
careful culture, they produced those fine
specimens which individuals of the dif
ferent European missions have, at differ
ent times, sent to their respective -coun
tries.
One of the most interesting places in
Constantinople is the flower hazstar. It
is held every Monday morning for trees,
roots, and plants, in a long street beside
the drug bazaar, which in fact opens in
to it; so that the vegetable kingdom is
here displayed in all its stages. I was
fond of visiting this place, nnd was as
much pleased with the magnificent spe
cimens there exhibited, as surprised that
so coarse and ignorant apeople could cul
tivate so elegant a pursuit, and with so
much skill-
Not only the ranunculus, anemone, and
tulip, were superior to any thing I ever
had seen; and the habits of all that were
rare and curious in their native plants
were searched out, and ophrys, the orchis,
and all that curious tribe, were collected
there in a great "variety. Whenever 1
visited it, I met crowds of Turks return
ing, loaded with tlie produce ot this ba
zaar. This taste seems to pervade all
say, as the matter seems to me, Luther classes. The ffe Tchiraghan, or “Fes-
‘ tival of Illuminated Tulips,” is among
the high enjoyments of the seraglio; the
various characters ol blossoms afford to
the lover and the poet the most expres
sive emblems; and the rude and brutal
janissaries and trombagees seemed to re
ceive from them uncommon gratification.
In every coffee-house, I have seen pots of
fragrant herbs, which a Turk sits beside,
and while he holds his chibouque with
one hand, he presses the other over the
plant, and applies it to his nose so us to
enjoy at once the scent of the flowers and
the flavor of the tobacco. Thf* tromha-
gees stick them in their fire engines; and
I have seen them sitting quietly beside
them, enjoying the smell, iu the midst of
the most fearful conflagration.
A Killing Machine.—The N. Y. Express,
gives the following description of lhe proper^,
ties of J. W. Coclikran’s non-recoiling rifle,
gun:
“Tlie first is, you enn put the caps on antT
load it in one mintilfc and n half—each loading
only takes one grain and a half of powder.
Youfean fire nine times in hall" a minute. We
saw it fire one hundred and eight times in twen
ty five minutes, without cleaning, or being in
the ii-ast heated. Look ftt it s;>orismen; pic
ture yourself in the presence of a wild eneinvv
a bear,a wolf, alien or any other wild beast,afolr
being able to shoot nine times in succession in
half a minute, without reloading. This we say
iu concurrence wiih sporting men, (who have
witnessed wliat we have herein slated) that this
Cockrnn’s non-recoiling Rifle Gun, is the best
of the kind we tiave ever seen nud do sirongiv
recommend it to lhe sporting worlds Tito in
ventor lives at Springfield.”
We find the following curious and in
teresting scientific information in tb«
“proceedings of the British Aassociation,”
at their late meeting in Bristol. It is not
too much to predict, from this and other
statements, that the whole science of ge
ology has ye t to be modified hy discove
ries in electricity and magnetism.—Na
tional Gazette.
“On the 4th day Andrew Crosse Esq.'
of Bloomfield, Somerset, came forward,
and stated that he came to Bristol to be a
listener only, aud with no idea that he
should lie called upon to address a Sec
tion. He was no geologist, and but little*
of a mineralogist; lie had, however, de
voted much of his time to electricitv, and
he had lately been occupied in improve
ments in the voltaic power, by which he
had succeeded in keeping il in full force
for twelve months hy water alone, reject
ing acids entirely. Mr. Crosse then pro
ceeded to state that he had obtained wafer
from a finely crystallized cave jrt Holwell;
and hy file action of the voltaic batterv
had succeeded in producing from that wa
ter, in the course of ten days, numerous,
rhomboidal crystals, resembling those of
the cave. In order to ascertain if light
had any influence in the process, he tried
it again in a dark cellar, and pnxluced
e;«v.lKr crystal * in six davs, with onefourth
of the voltaic power. He had repeaic-u
the experiments a hundred times, and al
ways with the same results. He was
fully convinced that it was possible to
make even diamonds, and tliat^at no dis
tant period every kind of mineral will be
formed by the ingenuity of man. By a
variation of his experiments he had ob
tained blue and gray carbonate of copper,
phosphate of soda, and twenty or thirty
other specimens. If any members of the
association would favor him with a visit
at his house, they would he received with
hospitality, though in a wild anti savage
region on the Quantock hills, and he
should he proud to repeat his experiments
in their presence. Mr. C. sat down amidst
long continued cheering.
“Professor Sedwick said lie had dis
covered in Mr. Crosse a friend, who some
years ago kindly conducted him over the
Quart lock lulls, on the way to Taunton.
The residence of that gentleman was not,
as he had described it, in a wild and sa
vage region, hut seated amidst the sul>-
lime and beautiful in nature. At that
time he was engager 1 in carrying on the
most gigantic experiments, attaching vol
taic lines to the trees of the-forest, and
conducting through them streams of light
ning as large as tlie mast of a seventy-
four grin-ship, and even turning them
through his house with the dexterity of an
able charioteer. Sincerely did he con
gratulate the section on what the)' bad
heard and witnessed that morning. The
operations oi' electrical phenomenon, in
stances of which have been detailed to
them, proved that the whole world, even
darkness itself, was steeped in everlast
ing light, the first-born of Heaven. How
ever Mr. Crosse may have hitherto cou-
eeuled himself, from this time forth he
must stand before the world as public
property.
“Professor Phillips said tlie wonderful
discovery of Mr. Crosse and Mr. For.
would open a field of science in which
ages might be employed in exploring and
imitating the phenomena of nature.”
ArjTRALr.i.—A loner from Swan River r
wriuon last February, published in the Lou-
don papers, speaks in the following term* of tbe
fruitfulness of that country, and its adaptation
lo the introduced plants of various climate* of
Europe and America. .
“Our little kingdom rises now almost as
we could wish. \V’e have, from the extraor
dinary growth of the vine, every prospect ol a
fine wine country. The mulberry, olive, or
ange, lemon, guava, and the banana are also
growing in a flourishing state. Uf tbe four
last, I have just made a purchase on rather #
large scale for us; and as I am the father of
peaches, so I hope to be of the orange, lemon,
nnd guava. The banana has ripened here tr»
the highest perfection. I have also got pines
in a state which 1 hope to produce fruit from
next vear. Our wheat is, this year aa fine as
anv yet seen by the best judges. I only wish
I could enclose a sample just come up from rnv
farm to slarilo tlie gentlemen nt Murk Lane,
and I do assure you, that most of mine is .the
third year from the same laud, with oneploo g h -
ing, one harrowing, and no manure. Tlie fifth
crop, grown in the same way is also in mv
neighborhood, from flats of the same descrip
tion. I 'shall gather bushels of peaches this
pear, and the meTou tribes nnd alt vegetables
are luxuriant aud almost wonderful.
