POETRY
THE PATRIOT AND IIIS DAUGHTER.
By EDWAllD B. BOTLE.
The snn was lingering on the western hills,
When on the ocean’s verge one stood alone:
Upon his high, pale brow was writ
8trong purposes, well planned,.unchangeable.
That magic mystery which terrifies.
Yet wins, lay sleeping in bis deep, dark eye;
It seem’d a spark of the divinity,
Aa if the lightning of it* glance coul*l scorch,
As if the softness of its beam coaldhesl.
His mouth was formed in beauty’s sweetest mould,
But in its caltn compression it was stern.
E’en hope, that bright-eyed maid who rules'tbe great,
Would faultere’er she asked a boon denied.
Yet there was aaught repulsive in his mein—
It was a native greatness that forbid
The nearappronch of rudesociety—
For he was lov’d, deeply, and purely lov’d.
It might be fascination—but the babe
Would leave its mother’s breast and cling to bim
Nay, more, fair girls, timid as the wild gazelle,
Would confidently lean upon bis arm.
And feel ihesafer, ifbe closer pressed,
But now be was deserted and alone,
And rugged a, tbe rock he stood upon.
His eye wat fixed upon a modest flower,
Which ’ne«!i the shelter of that rock had grown.
It was a lovely bud, though rudely match'd.
Yet but fur that its beamy had been nipp’d.
That firm old foster fatbe'r check’d rude winds.
And lent Ms storm-lash’d sides for trellises,
’Gainst which the flowiret grew, mocking at harm,
And poutingfourth a challenge to the gale.
It may be fancy—but it seemed—that flower
Had waked the memory of other days.
And vainly did be seek to check a sigh.
It was tlie first ’twill, btply, be the last,
That hero’s bosom heaves—still he will feel—
But pdde will freeze tbe drops within bis eye,
If in its depths bis grief could find a fount.
Near kim, toss’d by the wave, a akiffwaamoor'd,
Ami a (it emblem of hislile it was,
Like O the sea is popularity,
Fair, calm, at times, yet be wbo trusts that wave
Shall vft be wreck’d, and,like that skiff, shall find,
Whet storms rage loudest, there is power unseen
Guides every oct. and ifbe break control.
The ricks are nigh, which skill can scarce avoid.
E’en irlte strive and reach a friendly shore,
His gvoti name falls a sacrifice, and then
Siuksthe proud work ofyears—fame blots her scroll.
And where he thought to find recorded deeds
Ofworth, he reads envy’s distorted tale.
Thus with the exile, and a nobler heart
Ne’et fell by malice, crime, or treachery.
Virtue may die, and leave no epitaph
To mirk her tomb, but ne’er again shall wrong
File more of wrong, on one more wrongfully.
In the distance, far. a proud ship loosed its sails.
And when the shore is clad in evening's pall,
That brave old tnnn will be upon the sea.
The stars will light him from bis thankless land.
Yet he will not repine, lor be hath drank
8o deep of wroug, that he is seared to pain.
Now, at the appointed hour, a dark haired girl.
Scarce womanyet, fell on her father’s neck,
She did not weep, nor mourn, nor sigh, nor whine,
Hers was the grief of one attached.
Neither grieved, or if they did. not weakly,
But ’twas the sorrow of proud hearts, which thrill
Insweetest unison. They met in love—
To comfort, not embitter their last hours.
These souls were not of marble, but unwise,
And weak, the burstings ofan ill-timed grief.
They suffered in the cause of right—to mar
Tbe sacredness of which, by private plaints’
Were criminal—and had that daughter puled
Oue weak regret, that father had rebuked;
Nor were she worthy of so proud a sire.
They knew tlie'r parting now would be for aye,
Yet discontent sate not uoon their cheek,
They even were unmoved, aud in that boor,
Uabrokeu was their virtuous peace.
He speaks.
And eager turn* his daughter’s ear to catch
Her father's benison.
"My chi It!! farewell—
It is the bitter end of life in learn
To bear our lot, now were the time to grieve.
If tboo, my daughter, badst not borne thee well,
Fate hath no shaft to wing, than this more keen,
For thou, bast been all that iny love could wish,
Ambition hope, or sporting limey paint,
Huge is the debt of happiness I owe
As having sprung from Uiee. Its meed be thine.
And as the de»* of summer's night are pure,
So will thy days be bright. But this is vaiu,
It would not then lie life—few are its joys.
'Tis trials, and storms, make up man’s history.

LOVE AND AMBITION.
The last interview between Josephine and Na
poleon.
The divorce, for the sake of marriage with
another, was, however, a fearful subject lor Na
poleon to break to Josephine. The rumor of
her approaching degradation hud for a long time
filled the heart of the impress with the most
fearful foreboding. Still, neither purty ventur

ears and occupied the tongues of all Europe.
They dined together one day in the deepest
embarrassment, and not one word was spoken
by either during the repast. Napoleon exhib
ited marks of the strongest agitation; a con
vulsive movement accompanied with a hectic
flush, often passed over his features, and he
seemed afraid to raise his eyes to the Empress
except by stealth- Josephine was equally em
barrassed and agitated, and had ail day been
weeping. The dinner was finally removed un
touched, ueither having tasted a morsel. Jose
phine has described the scene which ensued :

my tears, which, notwithstanding every effort,
overflowed my eyes. I uttered not a single
worddnring the sorrowful meal, and he broke
silence but once, to ask an attendant about the
weather. My sunshine, I saw had passed a-
way ; the storm burst quickly.”
“Directly after coffee, Bonaparte dismissed
every one, and I remained alone with him. I
watched, in his eyes the changing expression of
his soul. At length his features settled into
stern resolve. I saw that my hour had come.
His whole frame .trembled, lie approached me,
and I felt a shuddering come over me. He
took my hand, placed it upon his heart, gazed
on me for a moment, then pronounced these
fearful words : .‘Josephine ! my excellent Jo
sephine ! thou knowest if I have loved thee, to
thee alone, do 1 owe the only moments of hap-
piness I have enjoyed in this world. Josephine
my destiny overmasters my will. My dearest
affections must be silent before the interest of
France.” ‘Say no more,’I still had strength
sufficient to reply. ‘I was prepared for this
but the blow is uot less mortal.’ More ( could
not utter. I caonottell what passed within mo.

reason had fled. I became unconscious of ev

had been carried to my chamber. On recov

ance, and my poor daughter was weeping over
me’ No ! no ! I cannot describe the horror of
my situation during tbat night. Eveu the inte
rest which she affected to take in my sufferings,
seemed to me an additional cruelty. Oh, my
God ! how justly bad I reason to dread becom
ing an Empress J*’
Tho fatal day of separation at length arrived.
After tbe painful scene was over, Josephine,
in silence and sorrow, retired to her chamber.
The usual hour of Napoleon’s retiring came.
He had just placed himself in bed, silent and
melancholy while his favorite attendant was on
ly waiting to receive orders, when suddenly
the door opened, and the Empress appeared,
her hair m disorder, and her face swollen with
weeping. Advancing with a tottering step, she
stood as irresolute about a pace from the bed,
clasped her hands and burnt into an agony of
tears. Delicacy—a feeling as if she hud no
right to be there—seemed at first to have ar
rested her progress ; but forgetting everything
in the fulness of her grief, she threw herself on
the bed, clasped her husband’s neck, and sob
bed, as if Iter heart was breaking; Napoleon
also wept, while lie endeavored to console her—
and they remained for some time locked in each
other’s arms, silently mingling their tears to
gether. After an interview of about an hour,
Josephine parted from the man whom she had
so long and so tenderly loved. Ou seeing the
Empress retire, the attendant entered to re
move the lights, and found the chamber as si
lent as death, and Napoleon so sunk among the
bed clothes as to be invisible. The next mor-
uing, at 11, Josephine left the Tuilleries forev

MUSIC.
The Christians', like the Pagans, have ex
tended the empire of music beyond the grave.
Of all the fine arts, none act so immediately
upon tbe soul: the others direct it towards such
or such ideas; but this alone addresses the very
sourceof life, and transforms the whole being
at once, humanly speaking, as Divine G race is
said to change the heart. Among all our pre
sentiments of futurity, those to which melody
gives birth are not the least worthy of rever
ence. Music is so volatile a pleasure,—we are
so sensible that it escapes from us even as we
enjoy it,—that it always leaves a tender im
pression on the mind; yet, when expressive of
grief, it sheds gentleness even over despair,
Music is so fleeting a pleasure.—one which we
love as we enjoy, that a shade of melancholy
is always mingled with thegaioty which it cau
ses. Yet, when it expresses grief, there is
still something soothing in it—the heart beats
quicker as we listen, and the regular flow of
its measures, in reminding us of the brevity of
time, calls us io enjoy it. There is no void,
life is full, the current of the blood is rapid, we
feel all the excitement of active existence, with
out encountering its obstacles. Music doubles
our conception of the faculties of the soul, and
makes us feel capable of the noblest efforts;
teaches us to march towards death with enthu
siasm, andislnppilv powerless to express any
low sentiment, an artifice, any falsehood. Mu
sic lifts front ihe breast the weight it so often
fools beneath rerious affections, and which we
confound with our very consciousness’ of exist
ence, so habitt al is its pressure; as we listen to
pure and delicious sounds, we ^eem to discover
the secret of the Creator, and penetrate the
mystery of life. No words can explain tilts; lot
words but copy primitive sensations, a* prose
translators follow poetry. Looks alone can
give an idea of this effect; the long look of love,
that gradually penetrates into the heart, till
one’s eyes fail, unable to support so vast a bliss;
so would a ray from the life to come consume
the mortal who should steadily contemplate it.

THE POTATOII ROT.
DIRECTIONS TOR THE BE-PRODCCTION OE THE POTATO*
The folio,wing letier from a gentleman of
much experience and good judgment, will be
read with interest by ail engaged in agricultural
pursuits, as well as by all lovers of that delight
ful esculent, the Irish potatoes
Baltimore, Sept. 18, 1846.
To (he Editor* of the Baltimore Stni:
In Wednesuay’s Sun you publish as a “most
important discovery” the “re production of tho
the potatoe,” and ascribe the discovery to Roy.
N. S. Smith, of New York. It is far from my
wish to detract any thing from the merits of
any discovery or improvement which thut gen
tleman has made. The “discovery,” however,
of the “re-production of potatoes front the seed”
is “as old as ihe kills,” (potatoe hills I mean)
and is known to almost every intelligent farm
er. It is not so much from ignorance, as from
the tediousness of tlie process, that the re-pro
duction of potatoes from the’ seed lias not re
ceived more attention in this country. I have
no doubt if it were properly tried a great bless
ing would result from it.
It is well known and greatly lamented that
the potatoe in this land has very much deterio
rated within the last fifteen or twenty years.
Very seldom do we meet, now-a-days, with
large, dry, mealy potatoes, tbat used to come
upon our table in days of yore. Instead of
bursting open and turning out their white flour,
in appearance like the slacking of a lump of
lime, we now find them bard, wet and waxy.
It is high titpe they were re-produced from the
seed, and thus new varieties obtained. The
process is simple, though somewhat tedious.
As this is the season for saving the seed, ifyou
think the subject worthy of a place in your pa
per, I will give you “the points” for the bene
fit of all whom it may concern.
In the first place, the balls containing the seed
are to be gathered when ripe, say now, and
preserved as any other seed. It is a good plan
to wash the seed from the pulp and dry them as
you do cucumber seed. It is well to save a
good many seed, as some of them will be de
fective.
Iu the spring, prepare a rich bed, on which
the seed are to be sown and raked or rolled in.
If the soil be suitable one the weeds kept out,
the plants will produce potatoes about tho size
of cherries. These will be found of a vast va
riety, in shape and color, and that without any
reference to the kind of the seed sown. These
“small potatoes” should be preserved with care
and planted the following spring. They will
grow this year to their full size. But the pro
cess is not yet completed. Many of nem wil
be found ou trial ill-flavored, and of course un
fit for table. Nor can you tell by appearance
which are good or which bad. The only re
course is to experiment. You must take some
of these full grown potatoes of each kind and
plant the following year. The potatoes unlike
the seeds, will produce their own kind only.
You now take a few of euch variety and cook
litem separately, so as not to confound the sev
eral kinds. You thus ascertain which sorts are
best for use and save only of them for seed. By
this process, though it will lake some four years
to complete the experiment, a great improve
ment may be made in this valuable esculent and
perhaps, all danger of the rot be avoided. A.
APHORISM.
Nothing that is broken bears any value ex
cept the heart, which becomes the more valua
ble the more it is broken. The unfeeling eye
is never moistened by a tear. We do not find
a pear! in every shell. Ob, my heart, if thou
dcsirest ease in this life, keep thy secrets un
disclosed like the modest rose-bud. Take warn
ing from that lovely flower, which by expanding
its hitherto hidden beauties when in full bloom,
gives its leaves and happiness to the winds. I
saw a potter in the market of fresh clay that ho
might fashion it into a vessel, when the clay
raised its voice and said—“I, too, was once a
man like thee, therefore be gentle with me.”
The value of things are justly appreciated by
three classes of persons. The value of youth
by the old, the value of health by the diseased,
the value of riches by the needy. Speak but
little, and that only when occasion requires it.
Heaven lias given thee lwo ears hut only ona
tongue, which means liston to two things, but
be not the first to propose one.
WOMEN.
Women, for tbe honor of their sex, are sel
dom addicted to immoderate eating, and it is
woll for them that they are not. In the first
place, as Shakspearesays, gormandizing would
spoil their grace; and in the next, if we were to
find a woman gluttonous we should look for a
mind enslaved to the lowest of all temptations.
Still, the young ladies are in error, if they im
agine that the young gentlemen dislike seeing
them appear to eat wiih an appetite. On the
contrary it is a sign of health, and without
health, there is no beauty, even in woman’s
charms. Your very interesting and delicate
young ladies are seldom denied the sympathy of
our sex, but they are by no means so secure of
tbeir affections.
ff/ 5 * “He is a bad citizen,” said Napoleon,
“tvho undermines the religious faith of his coun
try. All may not, perhaps, be substantially
good, but certain it is, that all come in uid of
the government power, and are essential to the
basis of morality. In the absence of religion,
I cat! discover no inducement to be virtuous.
I desire to live and die in mine; nothing is
more painful to me than the hideous spectacle
of nil old titan dying like a dog.”
ROME ONCE MORE THE CITY!
A paragraph lias gone the round of the pa
pers, stating ihnt the Pope is about to confer
on Rome municipal insiitution^such as are pos
sessed by the other chief cities of Europe.—
Are we, then, to understand that the city of
Romulus is to have a Mayor and Aldermen ?
We hope so. She will then have cifizens in
deed.
In her newly acquired corporation, her Con
script Fathers will revive, and the ildermanic
gown will worthily, replace the toga. W e call
upon the Seven Hills, severally and collective

will supply the names for tlie wards over which
the new created dignitaries will preside. The
.Tiber, also, should lend its aid to the coucert ;
its Ixtaoin swelling, by anticipation, with such
j‘iys as now gladden the Thames. Yes ; imag
