THE WIDOWER.
BY SYDNEY YKNDYS.
In the ransl early morn
1 rise from a damp pillow, tempest-tost,
To seek (he sun with silent gaze forlorn,
Ami mourn for thee, mv lost
Isabel.
That early hour I meet.
The daily vigil of my life to keep.
Because there are no other lights so sweet,
Or shades so long and deep,
Isabel.
And best 1 think of thee
Beside the duskest shade and brightest sun,
Whose mystic lot in life it was lobe
OuUmiled, outwept by none—
Isabel.
.Men said that thou wert fair;
There is no brightness in the heavens above—
There is no balm upon the summer air,
Like thy warm love,
Isabel.
Men saw that thou wert bright:
There is no wildness in the winds that blow—
There is no darkness in the winter’s night,
Liko thy dark woe,
Isabel.
And yet thy path did miss
Men’s footsteps; in their haunts thou hadst no
joy;
The thoughts of other worlds were thine in this :
In thy sweet piety, and in thy bliss
And grief, for life too coy,
Isabel.
And so my heart’s despair
Looks for thee ere the firstling smoke hallicurl’d;
While the wrapt earth is nt her morning prayer;
Kre yet she putteth on her work-day air,
And robes her for the world,
Isabel.
When the sun-burst is o'er,
My lonely way about the world I take,
Doing and saying much, and feeling more ;
And all things lor thy sake,
Isabel.
Hut never onoc 1 dare
To sec thine image till the day he now.
And lip hath sullied not the unbreuthed air,
And waking eyes are few,
Isabel
Then that blest form appears,
Which was a joy to few on carlh hut me:
In the young light I seo thy guileless glee :
lu the deep dews thy tears,
Isabel.
So w ith promethean moan,
In widowhood renewed I learn to grieve;
Blest with one only thought, that 1 alone
Can fade —that then tho'year?shall still shine on
In beautv —as to beauty thou art gone,
Thou morn that knew no eve,
Isabel.
In beauty art thou gone ;
As some bright meteor gleams across tlie night,
Gazed on by all, hut understood by none,
And dying by its own excess of light,
Isabel.

ENGLISH LADIES —RURAL TASTE. ;
Our countryman Mr. Colman, in hislate
European tour, gives so capital a portrait
of rural accomplishments, in a lady of rank
he had the good fortune to meet, that we
cannot resist the temptation of transferring
the picture to our canvas for the benefit of
our fair readers:
“ 1 had no sooner entered the house,
where my visit had been expected, than 1
was met with an unaffected cordiality,
which at once made me at home. In the
midst of gilded halls, and hosts of liverid
servants, of dazzling lamps and glittering
mirrors, redoubling the highest triumphs of
art and of taste ; in the midst of books and
statues, and pictures, and all the elegan
cies and refinements of luxury; in the
midst of titles, and dignitaries, and ranks
allied to regal grandeur, there was one ob
ject which transcended and eclipsed them
all, and showed how much the nobility of
character surpasses the nobility of rank ;
the beauty of refined and simple manners,
all the adornment of art; the scintillations
of the soul beaming from the eyes, the pu
rest gems that ever glittered in a princely dia
dem. In person, in education and improve
ment, in quickness of perception, in facili
ty and elegance of expression, in accom
plishments and taste, in a frankness and
gentleness of manner, tempered by a mod
esty which courted confidence and inspired
respect, and in a high moral tone and sen
timent which, like a bright halo, seemed to
encircle the whole person—l confess the
fictions of poetry became substantial, and
the beau ideal of my youthful imagination
as realized.
•• In the morning I first met her at pray
. ; for, to the honor of England, there is
scarcely a family, among the hundreds
whose hospitality I have shared where
the duties of the day are not preceded by
family worship; and the master and the
servant, the parent and the child, the teach
| cr and the taught, the friend and the stran
-1 ger,co:ne together to recognize and strength
en the sense of their common equality, in
the presence of their common Father, and
: to acknowledge their equal dependence
upon his care and mercy. She was then
kind enough to tell me, after her morning's
■ arrangements, she claimed me for the day.
; She first showed me her children, whom,
I like the Homan mother, she deemed her
; brightest jewels, and arranged their studies
and occupations for the day. She then
look me two or three miles on foot, to visit
a sick neighbor; and while performing this
act of kindness, left me to visit some of
the cottages upon the estate, whose inmates
i I found loud in the praise of her kindness
and benefactions. Our next excursion was
to sec some of the most aged trees in the
j park, the size of which was truly mngnifi
-1 cent: and 1 sympathized in the veneration
which she expressed for them, which was
; like that with which one recalls the illus
! trious memory of a remote progenitor. Our
; next visit was to the green-houses and gar
| dens; and she explained to me the mode
i adopted there of managing the most deli
cate plants, and of cultivating, in the most
\ economical and successful manner, the
| fruits of a warmer region. From the gar- i
1 den we proceed to Uncultivated fields : and
j she informed me of the system of husband
, ry pursued on the estate, the rotation of
crops, the management and application of
manures, the amount of seed sown, the or
dinary yield, and the appropriation of the
produce, with a perspicuous detail of the
expenses and results. She then undertook
to show me the yards and ofiiccs, the barns
the feeding stalls, the plans for saving,
increasing, and managing the manure ; the
cattle for feeding, for breeding, the milk
stock, the piggery, the poultry yard, the
stables, the harness rooms, the implement
rooms, the dairy. She explained to me the
process of making the different kinds ol i
cheese, and the general management of the
milk, and the mode of feeding the stork,
and then, conducting me into the bailiff's
house, she exhibited to me the farm jour
nal, and the whole systematic model of
keeping the accounts and making the re
turns, with which she seemed as familiar
as if they were the accounts of her own
wardrobe. This did not finish our grand
tour; for, on my return, she admitted me
into her 1 itdoir, and showed me the secrets
of her own admirable housewifery, in the
exact accounts which she kept of every 1
thing connected with the dairy, the market,
the table, and the drawing room, and the
servants’ hall. All this was done with a
simplicity and frankness which showed an ;
absence of all consciousness of any extraor
dinary merit in Iter own department, and
which evidently sprang solely from a kind
desire to gratify a curiosity oq s my part, I
which I hope, under such circumstances,
was nol unreasonable.
“A short hour after this brought us into
another relation ; for the dinner bell sum
moned us, and this same lady was found
presiding over a brilliant circle of the high
est rank and fashion, with an ease elegance,
wit, intelligence, and good humor, with a
kind attention to every one’s wants and an
unaffected concern for every one's comfort,
which would lead one to suppose that this
was her only and her peculiar sphere. Now
I will not say how many mud-puddles we
had waded through, and how many ma
nured heaps we had crossed, and what pla
ces we had explored, and how every farm
ing topic was discussed, but I will say that
she pursued her object without any of that
fastidiousness and affected delicacy, which
pass with some persons for refinement, but
which in many cases indicate a weak, if
not a corrupt mind.
“Now, I do not say that the lady to
whom I have referred was herself the man
ager of the farm ; that rested entirely with
her husband ; hut 1 have intended simply to
show how gratifying to him must have
been the lively interest and sympathy which
she took in concerns which necessarily so
much engaged his attention, and how the
country would he divested of that dullness
and ennui so often complained of as insep
arable from it, when a cordial and practical
interest is taken in the concerns which be
long to rural life. I meant also to show,
—and this, and many other examples which
have come under my observation emphati
cally do show—that an interest in and fa
miliarity with even the most humble occu
pations of agricultural life are not incon
sistent with the highest refinements of taste,
the most improved cultivation of the mind,
and elegance and dignity of manners un
surpassed in the highest circles of soci
ety-”
To this truly English picture (says the
Iliillimore American) we add the following
companion piece, from Downing’s Horticul
turist, giving a charming glimpse of an
American Lady in the midst of grounds
i; and shrubbery that “ Calypso and her
nymphs might have envied,” delightfully
i situated, as we venture to add, on the banks
i of the Hudson :
“In the midst of the richest agricultural
region of the Northern States lives a lady
—a young unmarried lady—mistress of
herself, of some thousands of acres of the
finest lands, and a mansion which is al
most the ideal of taste and refinement.
Very well. Does this lady sit in her draw
ing room all day to receive her visitors'?
By no means. You will find her in the
morning either on horseback or driving a
light carriage with a pair of spirited horses.
She explores every corner of the estate ;
she visits her tenants, examines the crops,
projects improvements, directs repairs, and
is thoroughly mistress of her whole de
mesne. Her mansion opens into the most
exquisite garden of flowers and fruits, ev
ery one of which she knows by heart. And
yet this lady, so energetic and spirited in
her enjoyment and management in out-of
door matters, is in the drawing-room the
most gentle, the most retiring, the most re
fined of her sex.
“ A word or two more, and upon what

of all. Exercise.fresh air , health : are they

THE NEW ENGLAND PRIMER.
There is nothing so humble as to
be below the zeal of an antiquarian. The
New England Primer, however, which has
lately become a subject of historical and
anecdolical interest, through the pleasant
researches of a writer in the Cambridge
(Mass.) Chronicle is quite worthy of its
honors. It has borne no unimportant part
in the formation of American character.
We are pained to learn some of its changes,
which have an appearance of time-serving.
The mutilations to which it has been ex
posed are shocking. Publishers have
abused it horribly. Thus, look at the va
rious readings of the letter O, in the famed
Pictorial Alphabet. The triplet stood in
early editions, it seems, —
“ Young Obadias,
David, Josias,
All were pious.”
Then a loyalist substituted —
“ The royal Oak, it was the tree
That saved his Royal Majesty.”
The Hartford men worked in a bit of their \
own glory—
“ The Charter Oak, it was the tree
That saved to us our liberty.”
The venerable Isaiah Thomas made it read, !
a platitude—
“Of sturdy Oak, that stately tree,
Our ships are ma le that sail the sea.”
The changes of W were characteristic,
from
“ Whales in the sea
God's voice obey,”
to
“ lly Washington
Great deeds was done.”
But the Primer has been used worse than
this; it is circulated now by the Mass.
Sabbath School Society, with much of its
religion generalized out of it, a cat and fid
dle being meanly substituted for the cross,
a dog for the deluge, and so on, thus:
“ Christ, crucified,
For sinners died,”
being turned into
“The Cat doth play,
And after slay.”
F.
“ The judgement made
Felix afraid.”
is transmogrified into
“ The Idle Fool
Is whipt at school,”
and such otherjneptitudes.
There are many other curious and amu
sing circumstances connected with the Pri
mer. Chronicler's “Antiquary”
will, we trust, publish in a book. The re
vival of interest in the Primer of late years
would justify the act. More than one hun
dred thousand copies of one edition, that
of the Mass. S. >S. Society, have been cir
culated within ten or twelve years past.—

GOLD IN BORNEO.
Gold is met with under singular circum
stances, with limestone : —The gold is found
in three situations, — in crevices of lime
stone rocks, in alluvial soil, and in the
sand and gravel of the rivers: it is found
chiefly on the western and southern por
tions of the island ; but it is nol obtained
in any quantities to the northward. In
Sarawak, Sangow, and Banjar it appears
most to abound. In Sarawak it is found
in all parts of the country on the righthand
or western part of the river, beyond the in
fluence of the tides; it is found also in the
southern branch, but in less-considerable
quantities. In the crevices of the limestone
above mentioned it is worked by Malays.
Last year I accompanied Mr. Brooke on a
visit to the rocks. The place they were
then working was about four miles distant
from the river, and about that distance
from Seniawan and Tundong. This place
was called Rattu Kaladi, and was a lime
stone hill about two hundred feet in height,
the surface of which was worn, like all
the limestone rocks of the country, appa
rently by water, into ridges so sharp that
it would have been exceedingly dangerous
to have fallen upon them.—Amongst these
ridges were holes, very small, continuations
of which penetrated into the heart of the
mountain, some of them being forty or more
feet in depth. The only difficulty appear
ed to he in the labor of making the aper
ture sufficiently large to admit the miner:
\ but this accomplished, on his descent he
i found the bottom, which invariably open
! ed to a cave, covered with earth of a loamy
| nature. This on being brought to the sur
| face in baskets, was washed, and it was
stated produced a benghal of gold—about
j one and three quarters of an ounce —from
I each bushel of earth, from six to ten or
twelve bushels being iound in each cave,
according to its size. It was acccordingly a
very gainful speculation, and the working
of it was carried on by all the idle and
poorer classes of the community of Sara
wak ; so much so, that it was difficult to
hire men for ordinary work. Gamblers re
-1 paired to this employment, and a few week’s
exertion soon repaired their ruined fortunes;
so that by supplying them with funds to en
courage them in this vice, it is perhaps no
advantage to the settlement. The Chinese,
who are not permitted by the Malays to
work in the rock, were quietly trenching
the earth at the foot of the hill, which they
had long worked for the same purpose, and
with more certainty of profit, as it is not
always that the caves, after the labor ex
pended in getting into them, are found to
pioduce the coveted metal. How the gold
should be discovered in these fissures at all,
is very remarkable, and perhaps may afford
a curious fact for the study of geologists
and mineralogists; it cannot have descend
ed from any place higher, as the caves are
found in the highest as well as on the low
est parts of the surface of the flat-topped
hill; nor, after repeated examinations of
the limestone, is the slightest trace of the
metal discoverable in it; the surface of the
rock is but scantily furnished with earth,
and that is of a vegetable nature. It is
true that the whole of the soil of the sur
rounding district is alluvial and strongly
impregnated with gold, but not to nearly
so great an extent as that found in the fis
sures above described; hence the soil in
these differs in the relative quantities it con- i
tains. The golden shower into which Ju- i
pitcr is fabled to have transformed himself, ,
appears to have fallen here.— Marryatt's
Borneo.
GERMAN STUDENTS.
The students add not a little to the vari
ety of the costumeof Leipsic. The Univer
sity is the most expensive and fashionable
one of Germany, and the sons of the weal
thier classes and the young nobility are
usually educated here. Another Universi
ty, that of Haile, being within a short ride
by railroad, and Leipsic being the nearest
large town, the bloods of that “cradle of
knowledge” are here in great numbers (lu
ring the Fair. These German studentsare
quite the most luxuriant specimens of ju
venescence that I have yet met ; and, in
deed, one who has only seen youth under
the restraint of other countries, looks at
them as an English gardener, who had nev
er seen a grape-vine except as it was trim
med of its superfluous growth to bear fruit,
would look at a wild grape-vine smother
ing trees in the American woods. The des
potic governments of the continent have
made the discovery that a man's brain must
let off, sooner or later, a certain quantity
of the gas of insubordination : and by en
; couraging the opening of the bluster-valves
, .luring oollogo li£, they find that the stuff
| for patriotism works pretty well off while
the beard is growing, leaving the gradua
ting scholars with a surfeit of vaporing,
ready to shave and become orderly sub
jects. License, incredible, except with this
accounting for, is granted to the German
; students, and they drink, strut, dress oddly,
i tight duels and talk treason, with an irres
| ponsibility of fling that would enchant the
j wild boys of Mississippi. Most of them
have a scar across the cheek, and wear a
i broad ribbon over the breast, marked with
j the number of their sword encounters —
| these battles being only perilous to nose
and cheek, from the way in which they
are padded up for action; but, altogether—
strut, wound, and ribbon—they are the most
j Alsation and galliard-loooking of juven
; iles, particularly in their more showy suits
jof toggery. Their necessary practice in
I fencing developcs the chest very finely,
and they usually carry their clothes with a
good air, but it was droll to see upon what
\ shocking had hoots they were willing to
wear very long spurs, and how unsuspic
ious was their coxcombry, with terrible
short-comings of their wearing in the coats
and trowsers lliey had designed. Here and
there was a magnificent fellow, however,
and I picked out eight or ten, among the
scores I saw daily at the Fair and at the
coffee-gardens, whose companionship seem
ed very attractive, if one were an idle or
namental. Avery popular dress seemed
to be a sort of horseman's uniform. It con
sisted of wash-leather tights, with boots up
to the thigh; a short, collarless, sky-blue
frock, worked all over with black braid
and buttoned up to the throat, a loose girth
of heavy cord slung over from shoulder to
hip, a heavy whip in hand, and spurs as
long as a toasting-fork, with a little cap
like the top of a mustard pot, and mous
tache ala sign-post-- the dress was that of
a very striking-looking customer. Long
hair is very much the fashion among them,
and they almost invariably wear the shirt
collar in the style of spread bread-and-but
ter. They seem to think it looks fierce to
show the Adam’s apple. No two of them,
however, were dressed alike, and to a man
who wishes to see bold experiments in
coats, trowsers, and moustaches, Leipsic
would be an interesting field of observa
tion.
1 have omitted to mention, by the way,
a class whose exterior struck me more than
any that I have described—l mean a class
| of merekeepers-warm. whose corresponding
stratum of human nature I never saw in
any other country. There were, perhaps, I
a half dozen of them, creeping about the!
Fair. They were not beggars, though
they seemed to have no vocation except to
walk about with their heads shrunk under,
as if it were a tendency to be beasts. I
tried in vain to catch the eye of one of them,
or to find any one who could make a guess
;of what they were. Skins, with the fur
turned inwards, and matted with filth, as if j
I they slept on the ground, and never even j
shook themselves in rising, were their only ;
covering, except strong shoes. Even the
, fur caps on their heads were tangled in with
their hair, beard, and eyebrows, and evr
(Icntly were never taken off, and by the
look of what skin was visible about the
eyes, and other unerring symptoms, it was
quite evident that they never shaved, wash
ed, combed, or undressed. They were the
first human beings I ever saw, who, being
sane, healthy, and not beggars, were utter
ly without thought of their appearance.
People who bad more the look of men “sur
named-Iscariot” could scarcely be con
ceived.
Holidays. —lt has been observed by Mr.
Leigh Hunt, that there are two, and but
two, classes of the community— ‘newspa
per editors and cab drivers’’—who never
may indulge themselves with a holiday.
I&ay” Upon a traveller telling Gen Doyle,
an Irishman, that he had been where the
bugs were so large and powerful that two
of them would drain a man’s blood in one
night, the general wittily replied, “My
good sir, we have the same animals in Ire
land, but they are called humbugs.”

WEEKLY GAZETTE.
B LING anew and much enlarged series of the
“Southern Literary Guzottfc,” —the oniv
weekly Journal, South of the Potomac, devoted
to Literature and the Arts in general—and de
signed for the Family Circle.
The Proprietor begs leave to announce that
on Saturday, the sth of May, he issued the first
number, for the second year, of this popular and
well established paper,—the name and form of I
which he has changed, to enlarge the scope of its I
observation, and to otherwise increase its attm* I
tions.
Less exclusively devoted, than heretofore, to I
Literature, the Arts, and Sciences,
it will be the aim of its Proprietor to make it, I
in every respect,
A CHOICE FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
“ as cheap as the cheapest, and as good as the I
best!” Utterly discarding tho notiou that a I
Southern journal cannot compote with the North- I
ern weeklies, in cheapness and interest,
RICHARDS’ WEEKLY GAZETTE
shall be equal, in mechanical execution, to any I
of them, and, in the variety, freshness and value I
of its contents, second to none. Its field will b I
the world, and it will contain, in its ample fold* I
Every Species of Popular Information ,
Especial attention w ill be paid to the subject of I
I SCHOLASTIC AND DOMESTIC EDUCATION. I
i Numerous articles, original and selected, from I
i the best sources, will be published weekly, on
AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE,
! and these departments, as, indeed, all others, will I
be frequently
Illustrated with Wood Cuts!
Every number will contain careful and copious
summaries of tho latest
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC NEWS’
in Commercial, Civil, Political, and Ecclesiasti
cal Affairs. At the same time, there shall be I
nothing in its columns that can be considered ei I
tlierPartizan or Sectarian.
The following distinguished writers will con- I
trfbute to the Journal:
Wm. Gilmore Simms, LL. 1).,
Hon. Robert M. Charlton ,
J. M. Legare,

The literary and moral tone of Richards’
J Gazette are both of a hi-'h order, and we are not
acquainted with a weekly journal in any part of
the country which habitually imparts more val
uable information on all those subjects which
hallow the hearth stone of home. —National In
telligencer.
i
We congratulate Mr. Richards on the taste
and ability displayed in his columus.—iV. Y-
Literary American.
The “ Gazette” is edited by Wm. C. Rich
ards, Esq., a scholar and a writer of the highest
order, and one who knows how to get up a good
paper. Success, wo say, to it and him. —Boston ‘
Sat. Rambler.
This fine literary journal, printed at Athens,
Ga ,is now issued in folio form, and makes an ,
elegant appearance. The last number came
brimful of good things; and, indeed, every issue
bears evidence that tlic editor spares no pains to
make a first paper. If our Southern friends
do not sustain him, it must be because their vis
ion is telescopic, and can detect no excellence un**
less it shines from afar. — Yankee Blade.
Mr. Richards deserves success, for tiis enter*
prise and perseverance ami fehis, ns a Family
Newspaper, will, without) doubt, in its moral
tone, be immeasurably above the catch-penny af- \
fairs from Northern cities. —Cherokee Advocate-
It is a beautifully printed sheet, ably managed,,
and contains part first of the prize story, f° r
which the propictor paid fifty dollars . This sto
ry is a. beautiful production, and is written by
that “reputable” and polished authoress,Mr)
Caroline Lee Ilentz. — Am. Union, (Boston.)
We take great pleasure in recommending Iml
weekly to the favorable consideration and patron
age of thercading community. It makes an im* !
posing appearance. The Gazette is an imperial
sheet, good paper, handsomely executed aud my
ed with well-written ami interestii g matter- R
numbers among its contributors several distin*
guished writers.^ —Mirror of the Times. (iV. #•)/
This transformation oftlw> “ Southern Literacy
Gazette conn s to us nowise deteriorated from the
original. In ;UI “ *ava fonn alone,” it bears the
same marks of literary’ and artistic excellence,
and we trust will long receive the bright smile o
pecuniary success.— Excelsior. (Boston )
The Literary Gazette, of Athens, Georgia,
commenced n second volume ; folio form, pretty
head, &c The new die sis beautiful and the
Gazette overflows—it3 old boundaries at least - ’
with a liter.try chowder of the first cut.— AW° m

ought to be most liberally patronized by those
