THANKSGIVING HYMN.
Tunc — Old Hundred.
When near, O Lord, thy radiant throne,
The shining elder?, trembling, bow,
And render praise to Thee alone,
The source from whence all blessings flow;
Wili the Eternal deign to hear,
When mortals join the blissful train ;
While fill’d with love and holy fear,
They swell the bless’d Angelick strain ?
For though with power enthron’d on high,
Thy love and goodness ne’er hath bounds;
TANARUS humble souls thy grace is nigh,
And earth with heaven thy praise resounds!
Wc thank Thee, that protecting care,
>i'ith shielding mercy, still is near ;
That we thy choicest blessings share,
And smiling Plenty crowns the year.
We praise Thee, that on FREkinyw's shore,
Fair Science blooms with hh-ss’d inciease ;
That war’s shrill clarion wakes no more,
And glittering falchions sleep in peace.
H e bless Thee, that Redeeming Love,
Y-y Calvary, points the living way ;
That Jesus intercedes above,
A ul guides us to Eternal Day!
still may our grateful offerings rise,
And kindred voices swell the lays,
TUI, join’d with Choirs above the skies,
We spend eternity in traise!
MISCELLANY.
REMARKABLE PRESERVATION FROM
DEATH AT SEA.
From Blackwood'* Edinburgh J\fngaeinc.
Mr. Editor—l send you a translation of a most
interesting letter, addressed to a German gentle
man, now resident in Hamburg, from whom I re
ceived it, with permission to make what use of it
I should think proper. 1 have translated it most
literally; and though perhaps rather long for
your Miscelkyir, 1 wa? unwilling to weaken it; ef
fect by the omission of any passage. The writer
is still living, a man of very rare endowments, and
the author of several fine Poems. H. M.
DEAR FRIEND,
You have often asked me to describe to
you on paper an event in my life, which,
at the distance of thirty years I cannot look
back to without horrour. No words can
give an adequate image of the miseries 1
endured during that fearful night, but 1
shall try to give you something like a faint
shadow of them, that from it yotrr soul may
conceive what I must have suffered.
I was, you know, on my voyage back to
my native country, after an absence of
five years spent in unintermitting toil in a
foreign land, to which 1 had been driven
by a singular fatality.
Our voyage had been most cheerful and
prosperous, and on Christmas-day we were
within fifty leagues of port. Passengers
and crew were all in the highest spirits,
and the ship was alive with mirth and jolli
ty. For my own part I was the happiest
man in existence. I had been unexpected
ly raised from poverty to affluence—my
parents were longing once more to behold
their erring but beloved son, and 1
knew there was one dearer even than any
parent, who had remained faithful to me
through all my misfortunes, and would soon
‘become mine for life.
About eight o’clock in the evening, I
went on deck. The ship was sailing upon
a wind, at the rate of sev.en knots an hour,
and there was a wild grandeur in the night.
A strong snow-storm blew, but steadily and
without danger; and now and then, when
the strugghrg moonlight overcame the
sleety and misty darkness*, we saw, for
some distance round u-, the agitated sea all
tumbling with foam. There were no shoals
to fear, and the ship kept boldly on her
course, close-ieefed, an.i mistress of the
storm. I leant over the gunwale, admir
ing the water rushing past like a foaming
cataract, when, by some unaccountable ac
cident, I lost my balance, asiu in an instant
fell overboard into the sea.
I remember a convulsive shuddering all
over niy body, and a hurried leaping of my
heart, as t felt myself about to lose hold of
the vessel, and afterwards a sensation pf
the most icy chilliness from immersion into
the waves, —but nothing resembling a fall
or precipitation. When below the water 1
think that a momentary belief rushed acros#
iny mind that the ship had suddenly Sunk,
and that 1 was but one of a perishing crew.
I imagined that 1 felt a hand with long fin
gers clutching afc my legs, and made violent
efforts to escape, dragging after me as 1
thought,the body of some drowning wretch.
On rising to the surface, l recollected in a
moment what bad befallen rne, and uttered
a cry of borrour which is in'rny ears to this
day, and often makes me shudder, as if it
wore the mad shriek of another person in
the extremity of perilous agony. Often
have l dreamed over again* that dire mo
ment, amt the cry 1 uttered in my sleep is
said to be something more horrible than a
human voice. No ship was to be seen.
She was gone forever. The little happy
world to which, a moment before, I had
belonged, had swept by, and I felt that
God had flung me at once from the height
of joy, delight and happiness, into the utter
most abyss of mortal misery and despair.
Yes! 1 felt that the Almighty God had
d*ne this, —that there was an act, a fear
ful act of providence; and miserable worm
that I was, 1 thought that the act was cruel,
and a sort of wild, indefinite, objectless rage
and wrath assailed me, and took for a while
the place of that first shrieking terror. I
gnashed my teeth and cursed myself,—
and with bitter tears and yells blasphemed
the name of God. It is true, my friend,
that I did so. God forgave that wicked-
ness The Being whom I then cursed was
in his lender Mercy not unmindful of me, —
of me, a poor, blind, miserable, mistaken
worm. But Ihe waves dashed on me, and
struck me on the face, and howled at me’
and the winds yelled, and the snow heat
like drifting sand into ttjv eyes,—and the
ship, the ship was gone, and there, was 1
left to struggle, and buffet, and gasp, and
sink, and perish, alone, unseen, and unpit
ied by man, and as 1 thought too, by the
everlasting God. 1 tried to penetrate the
surrounding darkness with my glaring eyes
that felt leaping from their shekels, ar.d
saw, as if by miraculous power, to a great
distance through the night,—but no ship—
nothing but white'erested waves, and the
dismal noisp of thunder. I shouted, shriek
ed, and yelled, that 1 might be heard by
(he crew, till my voice was gone,—and
that too, when 1 knew there were none to
hear me. At last 1 became utterly speech
less, and when 1 tried to cal! aloud, there
was nothing but a silent gasp and convul
sion,—while the waves came upon me like
stunning blows, reiterated and reiterated,
and drove me along like a log of wood or
a dead animal.
Once 1 muttered to myself, u this >s a
dream, and I shall awake.” 1 had often
before of being drowned, and this
idea of its being a dream so pressed upon
tne", that I vainly strove to shriek out, that
the noise might awaken me. But oh ! the
transition from this momentary and wild
hope of its being all a dreadful dream, into
the conviction of’ its reality I That indeed
was something more hideous than a fanat
ick's though! of hell. All at once l felt my
inmost soul throttled, strangled, and stifled,
by an insupportable fear of death. That
death, which to my imagination had ever
appeared the most hideous, anil of which 1
had often dreamed till the-drops fell down
my forehead like rain, had now in good
truth befallen ine; but flreadfnl as all my
dreams hail been, what were they all to
this? 1 felt as if all human misery were
concentrated in the speechless anguish of
my own single heart.
All this time l was not conscious of any
act of swimming; hut I soon found that 1
had instinctively been exerting all m’’ pow
er and skill, and both were requisite to
keep me alive in the tumultuous wake of
the ship. Something struck me harder
tbao a wave. What it was I knew not, but
! grasped it with a passionate violence, for
(he hope of salvation came suddenly over
me, and, with a sudden transition from de
spair, 1 felt that I was rescued. 1 had the
same thought as if I had been suddenly
heaved on shore by a wave. The. c.rew
had thrown overboard every thing they
thought could afford me the slightest chance
of escape from death, arid a hencoop had’
drifted towards me. At once all the sto
ries 1 had ever read of mariners miracu
lously saved at sea rushed across my recol
lection. 1 had an object to cling to, which
1 knew would enable me to prolong mv ex
istence. I was no longer helpless on the,
cold weltering world of waters ; and the
thought that my friends were thinking of
me, and doing all they could for me, gave
to me a wonderful courage. I may f yet
pass the night in the ship, I thought ; and
I looked round eagerly to hear the rush of
her prow, or to see through the snow-drift;
the gleaming of her sails.
This was hut a momentary gladness.!
The ship I knew could not he far off, but •
for any good she could do me, she might !
have been in the heart of the Atlantick!
ocean. Ere she could have altered her’
course, I must have drifted a long way to!
leeward, and in that dim and snowy night!
how was such a speck to tie seen ? I saw a
flash ot lightning, and then there was thun
der. It was (he ship firing a gun, to let me
know, if still alive, that she was somewhere
lying to. Bui wherefore ? I was separated
from her by a dire necessity,—by many
‘thousand fierce waves, that would not let
m3’ shrieks he heard. Each succeeding
gun was beard fainter and fainter, tiil at last
I cursed the sound, that, scarcely heard
above the hollow rumbling of the tempes
tuous sea, told me that the ship was far
ther 01T, tiil she and her heartless crew had
left me to my fate. Why did they not send
all their boats to row round and round all
the night through, for the sake of one whom
they .pretended to love so well? I blamed,
blessed, and cursed them by fits, till every
motion of my soul was exhausted,and 1 Clung
in sullen despair to the wretched piece of
wood that still kept me from eternity.
Was it not strange, that during all this
time (he image of my beloved friends at
home never once flashed across m3’ mind?
My thoughts had never escaped beyond the
narrow and dim horizon of the sea, at least
never beyond that fatal ship. But now 1
thought of home, arid the blessed things
there, and so intensely bright was that flash
of heavenly images, that for a moment my
heart filled with happiness. It was terri
ble when the cold and dashing waves broke
over me and that insane dreaming-fit, and
awoke me to the conviction that there was
nothing in store for me hut an icy and lin
gering death, and that 1 who had so much
to live for, was*seeming!y on that sole ac
connt rnost miserably to perish.
What a war of passion perturbed m3’ soul!
Had 1 for this kept my heart full of tender
ness, pure, loft3', and heroick, for my best
beloved and long-betrothed? Mad God kept
me alive through fevers and plagues, and
war and earthquake, thus to murder me at
last? What mockery was all this ! What hor
rour would be in my gray-haired parents’
house when they came to hear of my doom.
“O Theresa! Theresa!” And thus 1
wept and turmoiled through the night.
Sometimes I bar] ‘little or no feeling at all—
sullen and idealess. I wished myself drown
ed at once—yet life was still sweet; and
in my weakened stale I must have fallen
from my frail vessel and been swallowed up,
had I not, though even now I cannot re
member when, or how, bound myself to if.
172
I had done so with great care—-but a tit o
‘despair succeeding, 1 forgot the circum
stance entirely, and in that situation looae
at myself with surprise and wonder.
That I had awful thoughts of the Eterni
ty into which 1 felt gradually sinking, is
certain ; hut it is wonderful how bunt v
thought of the future v*>rld. All sue i
thoughts were overthrown by alternate
hope and despair connected with ties life.
Once, when 1 had resigned myself to deaih
and was supplicating tiie merey of cur Re
deemer, 1 thought l heard the shrill ciy
of sea-birds flying over my head —and in
stantly I returned again to the hope of liie.
O for such wings! hut mine 1 thought were
broken, and like a wounded bird 1 lay float
ing powerless on the waves.

THE PRESIDENT’S LEVEE.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman cn a visit at
JVajhington City, to the Editor of the Bedford
Dasette, dated Jun. 1, 1821.
“ This has been a day of jubilee with the citi
zens of this city generally. Os course,! made
little progress in the business which brought me
here ; however, 1 do not regret being detained,
fori have been most highly gratified in an oppor
tunity of attending the President’s grand annual
levee.
“ At twelve o’clock, the doors of the Presi- j
Rent’s house were thrown open, when there com
menced a general visitation, by the officers of the
general government, the members of the Senate
and House of Representatives, Ministers and Am
bassadors from the respective powers of Europe,
together with all the respectable foreigners and
citizens that pleased to attend.
“ The scene was truly dignified, elegant and
splendid ; at the same time blended with all that
urbanity and courtesy which is and ever ought
to be the charactcristick of the chiefs and rulers
of our great republic!;. The foreign ministers
and ambassadors were attired in the most rich
and splendid;uniforms, suitable to the respective
powers which they represented. The officers of
the United States appeared iri full uniform, which,
with the brilliant and splendid appearance of the
noble foreigners, formed a peculiarly interesting
contrast with the plain unostentatious dress and
manners of our mild and magnanimous President
and independent firm looking statesman.
“I was introduced to Mr. Monroe by a mem
ber of the House of Representatives from our
state, and having but few acquaintance to ex
change new year’s .congratulations with, I had an
ample opportunity of observing the etiquette of
the whole ceremony, which continued until two
o’clock.
“ The President stood on the one side of the
grand presence chamber, where lie continued
with an aspect of great solidity, blended with pe
culiar serenity of countenance,. to extend the
grasp of friendship to several hundred persons,
presented by any respectable acquaintance. On
the opposite side stood lady Monroe and her
daugliteis, where, with becoming dignity, but
without formality, she received and reciprocated
the new year’s civilities and congratulations of a
numerous, splendid and angelick collection of
the matrons and fair daughters of our beloved
country, who greatly contributed to add pecu
liar lustre and elegance to the interesting and
august scent*
“ The crowd was immense. The audience
chamber, two anti-chambers,’ and grand hall
were crowded with visiters. At the same time I
when the eye was gratified with a sight of the
chief magistrate of the Union, the heads of the
executive departments generally, a majority of
the members of the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives, (the substantial pillars of the repub
lic!;) many of the officers of our gallant navy and
army, together with the ministers, ambassadors
and legations from the respective kingdoms of
Europe, mixed promiscuously with the citizens,
respectable | matrons, and blooming daughters of
the city, the ear was greeted and delighted with
martial and] appropriate musicks from a full and
elegant uniformed military band, placed in a great
hall, together with the exhilirating effect of an
abundantly served collation of wines, cordials,
&c. &c. elevated the feelings of every reflecting
patriot, and inspired the heart with joy that he
was a citizen of this happy country, of which the
scene within his observation was an emblem, and
with gratifude to the Supreme Being, for the pre
servation of its virtuous principles, and an invol
untary supplication for a continuance of Divine
Protection.
u My descriptive too feeble to de
tail to you the elegance of this New Year’s anni
versary, as it really 1 merits. I have only exhibit
ed to you the shadow of the splendid and pleasing
reality.”
From the Albany Plough Boy.
In 1810 the population of the United States
was By the recent official report of
the Secretary of the Treasury, it appears that our
population progresses in the ratio of 34 per cent,
iu ten years. Proceeding on this basis, for the
next 80 years, which will terminate this century,

Such a r-view as this ought to produce a salu
tary influejee on all the busy actors who now
figure on the American theatre.
The probability is, that not one mortal now in
being, of mature age, will he seen on the face of
the earth in 80 years; although many of our youth
will reach that proud era of American glory.
What a solemn responsibility devolves on all the
conspicuous actors of the present day, since this
generation is destined to influence the happiness
of one hundred millions of free born Americans in
the stort span of 80 years! This reflection offers
to the contemplative mind an extensive range.
But 1 forbear, knowing the columns of the Plough
Boy are destined to other objects.
AN INGENIOUS DEFENCE.
Robert Cox, otherwise Bob Cuxey, a marvel
lously ill-attired and queer looking little fellow,
was brought before Sir Robert Baker, yesterday,
charged with “ stealing, and carrying aWay,” !
a bushel of apples, from a fruit salesman in Co
vent-garden market.
The fruit salesman’s porter deposed that at 2 0’ ;
clock in the morning, “ when the market w as qui- :
et as quiet could be,” he unloaded twenty-six
bushels of apples from a wagon, and placed them
;up nicely in form of a pyramid. He then turned
his back for a minute about some’other buisness, 1
and when he came back, he saw the prisoner ■
toddling off with the topmost bushel upon his
! back. *
! Sir Robert—“ Well, prisoner .that have you
j to say to this ?” *
I Prisoner—“ Why, your Worship will phase to
hear me, I’ll tell you the the whole truth, more
or less. As I was walking by this here heap of
bushels, as he talks ot, and thinking of nothing at’
all, as your Worship may nabr’ally suppose* I
by dint of accident, rubs me against the topmost
bushel and knocks it off the ‘heap. W'ell, as I
was saying, 1 knocked ifTloWn ; but before it got,
to the ground, your . Worship, it knocked me |
down ! Upon which 1 says, says 1, * O dJ labbl
thee, thee shan’t n’t serve apy body else such a
trick for I’ll put thee out of harm’s way. And
so, >onr worship, I puck it up, and was just going j
to put it somewhere safe, when this here gentle- ,
man came up and took charge of it. Bedes |
your worship, what good would it do nte to think
of stealing a bushel of apples, when I saw a man
h mg fast asleep by the side of •’em :
This posing question was suffered to pass unan

that he might try its effects at the Old Bailey.

accomplished, inquired of her if she was not lone- j

ed the eiuperour, that they might depart out
of it with as much as each of them could carry.
The emperour, knowing that they could not con
