Miscellaneous. BOTANICAL EMBL.fc.Mb. Amaranth — Emblem of Virtue. The fadeless treasures of the mind, the distinguishing at tribute of our nature in its state of primeval goodness, is emblematically represented by the amaranth, whose flowers on the authority of poesy, are endowed with the quality of perennial bloom. Though au tumn's chilling winds assail it* leaves, or wintiy tempests bend the slender stem, yet still its purple flowers unfold their beauties to the light, unblighted by tfie passing blast—uninjur ed by the lapse of time; lasting and bright as the rays which surround the hallowed sane where virtue is enshrined The moral of this poetical al lusion has been thus rendered by an rnonymous writer; Though chilling winds may blow, Anil blosomfi moot their doom; One lovely (lower will grow. And live in fadeless bloom. When summer hues ore fli and, And wintry blast deform, ’Twill rear its gentle head, Unhurt amid the storm. Thus virtue ever shines, When worldly cares surround; As I ife’s bright sun declines, Its lustre still is found : ’Tig bright in pleasure's hour, And gilds dark sorrow's day; Like amaranthine dowers— It blooms amid decay! Jonquil—Emblem of Torment. Thai there is a. very singu lar affinity between the varied sensations of the mind and bo dy, is perceptible to the most ordinary intellect. This idea is illustrated in many of these botanical allusions, and partic ularly in the subject of the pre sent notice. The Jonquil rep resents torment, either moral or physical; its yellow hue and sickening odour, are strikingly typical of those torments of the mind, ‘Whiih steep the soul in wretchedness And prey upon the heart—— ’ and equally so of those corpo real agonies which w ring the frame to bare.’ Mickle thus makes the ap plication of this subject to an individual whose conscience was seared by crime: His heart is dead to earthly joy, Hw hopes the world cannot restore; When torments of the mind destroy I Life's flu era, they never blossom more: Hi* being's essence all i# gone, Whose soul is of the jonquil's hue! The blighted flower's may linger on The tree yet never bloom anew. IF I fVAS HE! If! was a farmer, i would devote my whole attention to the cultivation of my farm, clothe and feed my servants well, take care of my stock, mend the holes in my fen ces. take a fair price for mv produce; and never indulge in idleness and dissipation. If I was a lawyer, 1 would not charge a poor man five dollars for a little advice. If I was a Physician, I could not have the conscience to charge as much as they do for: feeling the pulse, extracting a tooth, taking a little blood, or administering a dose of calo mel andjalup. If 1 was a merchant I would have an established price for my goods, and not undersell or injure my neighbors. I would sell at a moderate profit, and give good weight and measure, and deal as honestly as possi- J^le. mechanic, I would apply myself industriously to my business, take care of my family, rcfiain from visiting taverns and grog shops; and wlr n I promised a man to have his work done by a certain rime, 1 would endeavor to be punctual. If’ 1 was a young buck I would not cut as many ridiculous ca pers as some of them do, play ing with their watch chains, flrouishing their rattans, strut ting and making a great noise with their high beefed boots (probably not paid for,) and making remarks on plain arid worthy people.— r l hey render themselves contemptahle in the eyes of the sensible and unassuming If I wasa young lady, [would not be seen spinning street yarn every day, ogling tins [young fellow, nodding at anoth er, and giving sweet smiles to a third—sometimes having three holes in one stocking, and two in t’other. If I was a lover, I would be true to the object of my affec tions, treat her with tenderness, and never let her conduct to wards another excite jealousy in my breast; but should she ever speak of me in terms of disrespect, or treat me with coolness, I would be oft* like a shot off a shovel! and her arts should never again entrap me. If I was an old bachelor, I would make every exertion in my power to get married, and if I failed, I would buy a rope and hang myself! And finally, Mr. Printer, If I was one of your useful and re spectable profession, I never would refuse publishing pieces like this. SLOVENL r PENMANSHIP. An Italian gentleman wrote to his correspondent, wishing him to send him one or two monkeys; but. instead of writing the words one or two, he made use of the Arabic numerals, divided by the Italian o (or.) so that the order read thus— log. His astonishment and! vexation may be imagined, when at the return of his ves sels he beheld above twenty n en marching to his mansion, escorting what seemed to be’ an almost innumerable num-i ber of the ridiculous animals he had written for a specimen of, and read the following words, addressed to him by his agent: ‘I duly received your order for 10-3 monkeys, which l have been able only partial ly to execute, although I have given and offered very high prices—hut your order has ex hausted all that could be im mediately procured, even thosv which could be procured from private individuals. I have scut, however, to Gibralter and |to Africa, and hope to send you the remaining 50 by the Santimaria.’ AGIiU u LIU HE. In oidcr to disseminate extensively the many advantages which must flow from tlit* dt*velopeinent o|’ new resources and valuable improvements in the Agri cultural World, it is reasonable to pie- a proper medium for the accu mutation* and distribution of practical knowledge, must prove of the first impor ance.
