POETRY. 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. [Concluded next week.] 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, we shall find the follow ing resuft. hi 1820 0,827,265 Inhabitants. 30 13,168,534 40 17,645.044 50 23,644,433 60 31,584,633 ‘7O 42,325,908 80 56,716,716 90 76.000,399 1900 101,840,534 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.
