From Poulson's American Daily Advertiser.
THE THORN OF LIFE.
We see in life’s wide wilderness
Some plants of fair and varied mein ;
Love’s rose springs here, while there, distress,
The nightshade rank is seen.
With choicest care, we cull the flowers,
That breathe of beauty and of morn;
But while the boquet charms the eye,
We feel the secret thorn.
And who is free from sorrow’s thorn ?
Joy’s sparkling beverage dost thou sip?
Thou may’st; but soon the poisonous dreg
Shall lueet thy quivering lip.
Thy morning, gay, perchance hath shone,
And hope exulting, plumed its flight;
At noon the stern destroyer came,
With disappointment's blight.
Hast friends ? thou hast, yet the last sun
That saw thy bliss, hath set n the dart,
Whose cruel fang shall pierce thy friend,
Ami wring thy lonely heart.
Thy wife, thy offspring—whence that sigh ?
Too well I trace the secret tear;
For thou, who wife and offspring knew,
Hast wept upon their bier.
Love hath its chill, and mirth the sigh,
And who shall greet a cloudless morn 5
Mortal! that cull’st the flowers of life,
Think not to ’scape the thorn !
MISCELLANY.

LETTERS FROM A DISTINGUISHED
PERSONAGE .*
LETTER I.
•Sir,
Though Ibis is the first communication
you ever received direct!}’ from me, yet 1
am certain you cannot be unacquainted with
my name ; and though I have not the plea
sure of being personally known to you, you
cannot be ignorant of my character, as the
interests of others make it necessary for
them to represent it. Trusting to your
good nature, (may l add friendship ?) 1 shall
take leave, through the medium of your
paper, to com ci some of the absurd and
very mistaken notions which are generally
entertained regarding my person and con
duct. Were these notions entertained by
the vulgar and uneducated alone, I know
not that 1 should trouble myself or you on
the =-jbiect; but the light in which lam
viewed hv the higher ranks and educated
classes of society, seem? to require that,
even for my own reputation, 1 should en
deavour to set them right. The untutored
Indian may be forgiven for dividing his at
tention- between the Good Spirit who sup
plies his wants, and the Evil Principle
whose wrath he is anxious to deprecate ;
but what shall be said for those who in
your country and in Europe, embody me
with powers which belong only to Omnipo
tence, and invest me with attributes which
are characterislick of Him alone who form
ed, amidst other and innumerable worlds,
“the earth which you inhabit, and all its
gay creation.”
One of the most firmly rooted prejudices
among your countrymen is the doctrine of
my in-visibility ; and yet, in opposition to :
this, there is scarcely a peasant who will
not attest that he has seen and often come
in contact with me. They assert that I
sometimes frighten them in the shape of a ■
bash of furze or broom, or siopl of rush
es ; emb ■ y mjseifbefore llicrn in the form
oi .i gpie, a raven, ora -toal: flutter
round teem in the shape of a bat; or stop
up their passage in the likeness of a sow
oi’ a black dog. I am sometimes -een, if
your legends?are to be believed, as a tali
man in black, hut always with (he addition
of at least one cloven foot ; and your judi
cial records bear witnes*, as fir as human
testimony can go, (hat when 1 am disposed
to he naughty, ! solace myself, (no great
proof of mv taste, yon will sty) with shriv
elled hags, whom age, infirmity, or ill na
ture, have rendered obnoxious to their vil
lage companions. Many of your worthies
of a former age have tbem-elves related in
the frenzy of a distempered imagination,
bow they wrestled with, and failly beat me
off, in propria persona; and one of your
greatest reformers (Martin Luther) has at
tested the mighty conflicts we have had
together, in which, according to custom,
he always came off victorious.
It is not necessary, at the present day,
to prove that a spirit, such as 1 am repre
sented to he, cannot be literally and tangi
bly seen and felt. The very idea of a spi
rit necessarily excludes that of material
texture and form ; and notwithstanding the
testimony of those who have a-serted that
they have seen and handled me, I must
say that I never have, nor indeed could
have, any material frame ofhor.es arid sin
ews, which should he perceptible to the
human eye, or palpable to the human
touch. In this sense l<always have been,
and always shall he invisible. But though
not vi'ilde iri any determinate form, I am
nevertheless to be seen, mixing daily in all
the transactions of life ; and my invisibility
as a spirit does not hinder me from embo
dying rnvself, so a my presence may be
* We have received three letters from the dis
tinguished personage whose signature is attached j
to this ; and, as it is as well not to make the pow
erful one’s enemy, we desire to propitiate his Ex
cellency by inserting hi correspondence. The
devils in our own employment are quite elated
with the idea of their great namesake’s contribute
ing to our columns ; and it is hoped that the sen- I
tim-nts of the real “ Archangel fallen” being on
record, will put an end to all thepjwerfo diabltrie
of pretended fiends.
delected, and my features recognized, in
the persons of my friends who lend them
selves to me for this purpose, by the most
careless observer. Though I have long
given up the visible possession of the bo
dies of my followers, for that more delicate
control which I possess over their minds,
yet is my presence not less certainly to be
discovered ; and though it is not the custom
now for even iny most devoted disciples to
barter themselves to me for money, which
might vanish from their sight, the evidence
of their being wholly mine exists in deeds
more binding than a parchment traced in
blood—the exhibition of passions unre
strained by reas’on, and of conduct not reg
ulated hy religion.
There is not a kingdom or a court—a
pity or a village—a family or an individual,
in which, or over whom, I have not occa
sionally some influence. I possess more
than one seat in the British Parliament,
though lam not formally elected; some
times carry a question, though my name
does not appear in the list of the majority ;
not unfrequently assist at the privy council;
and can boast of having been more than
once on the bench of bishops. In the su
percilious looks of the churchman, as well
as in the affected humility of the dissenter,
the lineaments of my countenance may ol
ten be distinctly traced, iam sometimes to
he seen beneath the broad brimmed hat of
the Quaker, — and all the young men about
town must have frequently recognized me
in a more alluring form—peeping slyly
from under a straw bonnet, or enveloped in
the folds of a silk petticoat.
It is I who distort the features into anger,
and mould the countenance into the display
of contempt. I stiffen the muscles into the
expression of revenge, and prompt the ac
tion which sets a mark upon the counte
nance of the murderer. 1 inspire the miser
with his insatiable thirst after riches, to the
exclusion of every nobler thought; and I
urge the debauchee to the excesses which
terminate in the ruin of Ids health and his
fortune. 1 preside over all the assemblies
which meet, under different names, to kill
time, and pass unimproved, with less than
childish foresight, those moments which
were destined as their probation for—(l
almost shudJer to write the word) — Eter
nity !
Another strong and firmly rooted preju
dice of your countrymen is, that I am an
object of fear; and this prejudice is so
strongly impressed on their minds, that I
almost despair of overcoming it. No soon
er do your children see the light, and are
capable of distinguishing one articulate
sound from another, than 1 am presented
to them under a thousand shapes, nil cal
culated to inspire terror ; and though l am
thus very useful in the nursery, and acquire
an ascendancy there which all the educa
tion, and all the scenes of future life seldom
surmount; yet 1 feei somewhat reluctant
at gaining this advantage, at the expense of
being looked upon as an object of affright.
Fortunately for me, however, the dark
names and fearful shapes in which the
nurses of your country exhibit me to your
children, are only attributed to me meta
phorically, by persons ignorant of my per
son, my essence, or my nature; and they
are thus tar useful for the purposes 1 am
supposed to have in view, that they retain
the infant mind in due subjection to my
sway, till heedless youth rushes, with open
arms, Irom these dark illusions, to attrac
tions more suited to my views, and more
captivating to theirs. No, the stately port,
the mnjestick air, the alluring graces of
one who once was an nr.gel of light, are
not yet so obscured, but that, werp it per
mitred me to appear, mv followers need not
be ashamed < f their leader. I hold not
out to my friends the thorny paths of un
meaning duty, or the hard-to-be-acquired
habits of sell-denial, —hut the smooth, and
flowery, ar.d unenntined road, that leads to
unrestrained pleasure, and to joys which
allow no ill-timpd reflections to interrnp’
their current. It is hut a poor compliment
to a spirit such as I am conceived to he, to
fancy that his purpose is only to frighten
clowns and children; and I conclude a
present with observing, that, for one sub
ject acquired in this manner, l have thou
sands who devote themselves to my service
when I approach them in the fascinating
smile of female loveliness, or assail them
in the deep interests of the gaming table ;
•nd tens of thousands more own my sway,
when allured from what your philosophers
call their true interests and lasting repose,
thej’ follow, with exclusive pursuit, the
tinsel bubbles of Time, which lead them (o
the ruin ol their hopes, and then—leave
them torever. I am, Sir, your humble ser
vant and sincere friend, SATAN.

NEWSPAPERS.
The charms of newspaper reading to the
intelligent farmer, who values the instruc
tion of himself and his family, constitute the
relish of the week, and furnish abundance
for profitable reflection and conversation.
If he is a patriot, he cannot he insensible
to the welfare of his country. If he is a
philanthropist, he (eels a concern for his
fellow-men, however distant. If he is a fa
ther, he lossts no opportunity to instruct his
children; and cannot bat view ‘the passing
ofthe times’ as u most essential part of their
education. Though distant from the me
tropolis—though secluded from society, he
can know all that is necessary to be known
ofthe pomp and hustle of a city life
By a close attention to the diversified
columns of newspapers, we are enabled to
‘catch the manners living as they rise.’ In
one column my he seen the march of ar
mies.and the fate of nations—and in another,
the humble advertisement of the humblest
dealer. All may find instruction, amuse
ment, or interest, from the hoary sage to
(hr lisping school boy.

I Every subscriber to a newspaper should
cnrefully preserve them in regular files for
the benefit of his posterity. — Alter the lapse
of 40 or 50 years, to look over these,
and examine the important occurrences cl
former days, will give a clearer view than
can he found in any history. ‘1 h p best ac
count of our revolutionary war can he ob
tained in this way ; and no doubt, the rising j
generation will in future times anxiously
look to newspapers for the particulars ot
the recent war, which has conferred such
high honours on our countrymen.
It is erroneous to suppose, that newspa
pers are less valuable during peace, than .
in times of war. It is true, those who de-
light in recitals of bloody scenes, and ruin- :
e.d towns, will find less to gratify that bar-;
barons appetite; hut all who wish for im
provement, or delight in sentiment, will find
an increased value from the attention paid
to science, arts, agriculture, history, biogra
phy, morality, religion, humour, poetry,
&c.’
The man who‘can’t find time’ to read ,
one newspaper during the week, must be
truly a slave to ignorance or poverty. Ihe
truth is however, that is an excuse tor indo
lence and paristnony; and thus whole fam
ilies are deprived of information on those
points which afford one halt the conversa
tion of society. They are content to bor
row ideas from their more intelligent or
more cunning neighbour ; thus existing in
the language of the poet, ‘to vegetate
and die.’ t
It is hoped, however, that such are few.
Our political welfare so essentially depends
on a general diffusion of intelligence, and
we have so many examples in the old world,
of ignorant people being the slaves of su
perstifion and tyranny, that our young re
pubiick should lose no opportunity to estab
lish itself on the only permanent foundation.
PRODUCTIONS OF MISSOURI.
Extra vied from the letter of a gentleman in Frank
lin, Miss, but formerly resident in this vicinity.
MISSOURI RIVER.
The Missouri has been proved, by experiment,
to be “navigable for steam boats of 200 tons to the
Council Bluffs, a distance of 580 miles above
Franklin—keel boats of 50 tons, in the service of j
the Missouri Fur Company, go to the Mandan Vil-1
lages, nearly 900 miles further. There are sever- j
al steamboats that ply regularly between St. Louis !
and New-Orleans, though they only come here j
occasionally. The Missouri has a peculiar advan -
tage over the Ohio, Mississippi & Kentucky rivers;
white the latter are not navigable several months
in the year, on account of the lowness of their
waters, the Missouri is always navigable.
SALT.
Salt, springs arc found in every section of the
country, hutespecially in the Boon’s Lick district,
and on the waters of Salt river, a branch of the
Mississippi. Missouri would be able to supply an
empire with salt of a supeiiour quality ; but hith
erto she has purchased much of that article from
the Illinois and Kenhawa, from Liverpool, St. Übes
and Turks Island ! The government monopoly
was one cause of this ; but in the bill for the ad
mission of Missouri, twelve springs, to be chosen
by the legislature, with six sections of land around
each, are to be given to the state ; the remainder
,will probably be sold out, anil become private
property. Expeiience has fully proved, that the
finest hemp of America, can be raised within this
state; the quantity obtained fiom an acre is pro
digious, and by experiments made at New-Orleans
under the auspices of the former Governour Gen
eral, Baron de Carondelet, it was pronounced to
be supertour in strength and fineness of fibre to
the boasted hemp of Russia. There is but one
hemp Manufactory of any kind at present within
the state, anil that at St. Genevieve, on the Mis
sissippi, 60 miles below St. Louis.
LEAD.
Missouri is justly famous in Europe and Ameri
ca, for the extent and value of her lead mines ;
she is able to supply half the w-orld with that ar
ticle, and no country possesses greater facilities
for it manufacture and transportation; (he banks
of the Mississippi at Herculaneum, and other pla
ces in the vicinity of the mineral district, exhibit
natural shot-towers of several hundred feet in
height, from the summit of which the molten lead
may descend in showers, he received in water at
the river’s edge, taken up in shot, and shipped in
the boats which lay ready to receive it; After
this, will you not be surprised tc Aear that this
manufacture is ia a decaying state ? It is not the
less true ; it languishes under the torpid influence
of a governmental monopoly, which, with the
system of short leases, rents, and want of protec
tion by an impost duty on foreign lead, are the
causes of this decay; in the mean time America
has been paying to England neaily $500,000 per
annum for lead ! The difference of the policy pur
sued by the two nations, is the cause of this state
of things. In England foreign lead pay 6 a duty
of £26 13 4 sterling on every £ 100’s worth im
ported, and the mines are private property. In
America foreign lead pays hut little duty, and the
mines are monopolized by government; the Eng
lish, with a few mines, are selling lead to both
Europe and America! The Americans, with
mines enough to furnish half the globe, are pur
chasing lead from the English !
IROM.
Os iron , Missouri possesses immense beds of
ore, exceedingly rich, and well suited to be
worked and conveniently transported to a mar
ket. The Merimac and Gasconade rivers are the
chief seats of (his ore, though it is found in many
other parts of the state, and in such amazing
quantities, that it may be considered forever in
exhaustible. Missouri could furnish, not only
herself and immediate neighbours, but the whole
valley of the Mississippi, with iron, and its manu
factures! yet she is purchasing these articles
from England, Sweden and Russia.
Thomas H. Benton, Esq. a gentleman chosen
to represent Missouri in the Senate of the United
States, thus speak* of this fertile country :
“Grand, beyond the power of human compre
hension, is the future destiny of Missouri! From
the foot of the Shining Mountains to the Gulf of
Mexico, four thousand miles in length, without a
fall, a rapid or a shoal to interrupt ils navigation !
Flowing under a mild and tranquil sky, through
a region vieing in fertility with the Deita of the
Nile, destined to be the channel of that commerce
which has carried v'alth and empire wherever it
has flowed; what mind can tell the countless
millions which shall cover its borders; the splen
did rows of cities, towns and villages which shall
adorn its banks!” [Boston Patriot.
Inured to hardships, to dangers, and to a per
petual change of companions, (he seaman con
tracts a species of stoicism which might raise the
enyy even of Diogenes. “ Avast there !” cried
a sailor to his comrade, who was busied in heav
ing overboard the lower division of a messmate
just cut in halves by a chain shot; ‘* avast, let us
see if be lias not got the key of our mess chest in.
his pocket.”
A BIT OF A LARK. j’
Patrick Graham, a regular built knight ofthe |
hod and shovel, was brought in hy Ellis, the pa
trol who stated, that as he was on duty in Broad
street the night before, he met the prison! r lim
ning along and crying “ Stop thief!” and followed
at some distance, hy two women crying * stl>
thief ” also. He therefore took him into custody,
and one of the women, on coming up, charged
him with having snatched a shawl from her. In ,
i consequence of this charge he conveyed Inm to ,
the watch-house, but on seeking for the women
the next morning, to give evidence against him,
he found that one of them was just “ put to bed, j
and the other had purposely conveyed herself |
“ out of the way.”
The magistrate now desired honest Patrick to j
give some account ot himself, and the affair,and .
after describing his name, birth, parentage, edu
cation,. i:c. he said he had been receiving bis pm
shun (pension) that same day at Chelsea, and ol
course was rather frolicksouie. 11l ttiis troJick
some condition, it seems, he overtook the tw o wo
men, and the following was his own account of
the adventure:—“And would you take me home
with ye, ladies ?” says I.—“ Get along with ye
Pat,” says she, “ and gives me a punch in the
head.”—“ Och !” says l,“but if that’s your tin
demess, I’ll be after running out of it.” “ fetop
thief!” says she. “ llubbuboo !” says 1: upon
which up comes the honest oflicer there. “ And
where are you running to ?” says he. “ J.ust no
where at ail,” says i—“ Oh ! then I’ll take you
somewhere,” says he and then he takes me to the
roundekiu sure enough, and here I am to the fore
spaking of it to your honour this blessed morning.
Your honour’s honour will please to recollect,
I’ve lived in St. Giles’s seven long years and how,
and neither watchman, constable, beadle or any
of the like of them, ever had a hold of me before—
bekase your honour, 1 doesn’t spake to a petticoat
once in a twelvemonth, barring the pmshun day,
your honour; and I’ve a wife and three children j
to work for—and if your honour wants the char- ;
acter of me, 1 can get Die same immadently, your
honour ; it was nothing but a little bit o’ fun this !
Christmas time like, your honour.”
Mr. Birnie—“Ob ! then it was only what you !
may call a bit of a lark /”
Prisoner. —“ Just that same exactly ; long life
to your honour !”
Mr. Birnie.—“Well, there is no prosecutor,
nor is the property found, and, Mr. Patrick Gra
ham, you are therefore discharged; but let me
advise you, Mr. Patrick Graham, to restrain your
■ frolicksouie’ disposition, and not indulge in such
‘ a lark ’ next pension day, or we may not part so
easily.”
Prisoner.—“ Thank ye kindly, your worship,
for your good counsel—Och! and I’d bet a thir
teen your honour’s honour never catches me in’
this iron thing again (the bar): and so, once
more, thank your worship kindly.”
lie was then set at liberty.
Anecdote of the late General Kosciusko.
This beautiful turned compliment is taken from
a Polish journal; a higher eulogy could hardly |
be pronounced on the hero of the tale : “ Kosci
usko once wished to send some bottles of good
wine to a clergyman at Solothurn : and as he he
sitated to send them by his servant lest he should
smuggle a part, he gave the commission to a young 1
man of the name of Zeltner, and desired him to
take the horse which he himself usually rode. ‘
On his return young Zeltner said that he never ‘
would ride his horse again, unless he gave him his :
purse at the same timg. Kosciusko asking what
he meant, he answered, ‘As soon as a poor man
on the road takes off his hat and asks for charity, ‘
the horse immediately stands still, and won’t stir ‘
till something is given to the petitioner; and as 1
had no money about me, I was obliged to make
believe give something, in order to satisfy the
horse.”
“ The king can do no wrong”—“ The
king never dies.” These are the Iwo po
litical maxims which, though generally ac
cepted, were once whimsically denied by
an eminent French writer : “ You say,”
observed the wit, “ that your king can do
no wrong, and never dies ; but l say that
your king Charles was a tyrant, and that
he lost his head.”
