POETRY. 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. From the [ London ] Literary Gazette. 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. I rom the Long-Island Star. 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. 180 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.” Planters’ Hotel—W arrenton. NO TICE.—The subscriber having removed to Warrenton, for Ihe purpose of opening a House of Entertainment, avails himself of the pre sent opportunity of announcing to his friends and the publick generally, that he has taken the stand formerly occupied by Mr. James Fleming, where travellers, and others who may think proper to call, may find a table well supplied with every thing that the country can afford.
