POETRY. From the Richmond Compiler. Vft are indebted to a friend for a copy of the following verses, written by a Lady of this city. Cfh * Ron of Sharon and the Lilly of the Follies. —Solomon's Song, chap. ii. 1. >, Warriour, pluck the laurel hough, And bind it round thy reeking brow ; r Ye sons of Pleasure ! blithely-twine h chaplet of the purple vine ; And Beauty, cull each biuahing flower, That ever deck’d the sylvan bower; No wreath is bright, no garland fair, iUnless sweet Sharon’s Rose be there. ,r The laurel branch will droop and die, The vine its purple fruit deny, The wreath that smiling beauty twin’d, Will leave no lingering bud behind; For beauty’s wreath and beauty’s bloom, In vain would shuti the withering tomb, W here naught is bright and naught is fair, Unless sweet Sharon’s Rose be there. Bright Blossom! of immortal bloom, Os fadt less hue and sweet perfume, ’ r Far in the desert’s dreary waste, • In 1 ne neglected beauty plac’d, Let others seek the blushing bower, And cull the frail and fading flower ; But I’ll to drearest wilds repair, If Sharou’s deathless Rosa be there. W'hen nature’s hand with running care, No more the opening hud shall rear, But hurl’d by heaven’s avenging Sire Descends the earth-consuming tire ; And desolation's hurrying blast, O’er all the sadden'd scene has pass’d. There is a clime, forever fair, And Sharon's Rose shall flourish there. MISCELLANY. —fc—— - . , . From the [London] Literary Gazette. LETTERS FROM A DISTINGUISHED PERSONAGE, CETTER n. &>, In my last letter I pointed out a few of the distinguishing marks by which mv fol lowers will be able, in future, to trace in one another’s features and conduct, their mutual relation to me, from their subservi ency to the purposes I am supposed to have #n view. This I did from no motives of vanity, (though few princes can boast of subjects so nuDrerous a those who own my ■wav) as I am aware that the multitude of my disciples is best increased by the influ ence of gilent, unostentatious example. But in the present state of society, I have no fear that either reason or ridicule will ma terially lessen the number of those who act <m JOJLiiiincuiles; mVfen^ytyjfy*js ; or religion threaten. Besides, the display of preponderating force often supersedes the actual trial of streng*h: and though I should not decline the contest, yet perhaps the le>s that is said about the principles of those who oppose mp, thp better for mv cause. Though from vonr intercourse with the . world. Mr Editor, you must have been long ago convinced, even though the clergy had been -ilent or> my exploits, of the vast influence I possess over tbp minds and bo-; dies of your race, yet perhaps it never en-j tered into your mind ov°r what immeasu- * Table spaces, and bv what countless millions i lam adored a? a Divinity. Amongtbe fol lowers of Mahomet, and even in Europe, scow few are there who conscientiously foll-'w the tenets of the Koran, or the infi nitely more important doctrines of the Bi ble! How few in comparison of those who bow their heads at mv diversified shrinks. Although no temples rise in your country ?n honour of my name, yet even there, nev er was Divinity so extensively worshipped ; and the number of my followers in (he very city of London, has proved to a certainty that the essentials of my worship anav he Continued, from age to age, without the formality of legal establishment, or the sanction of a bench o*'bishops. Wherever human habitations exif, I am venerated and adored in a thousand forms. From In dia ,o Iceland, —from America to Europe my votaries appear >n numbers which al most darken conception. My rites are so simple, the duties I exact so accommodat ing to all that man fancies of pleasure, that in my system there is no need for bridles upon conduct nor restraints upon character. The European worships me in his exclu sive pursuit of selfish and temporary inter ests; and the Indian “sees me in the whirl wind,’ and recognises mp in the storm. How many myriads daily approach me in the temples of l \tnity, bow down before me at the altar of Ambition , and confess mv power in the receptacles for the enjoyment of unhallowed Pleasure! By millions I am figured and revered as the goddess of For tune; sought eagerly by crowds in the shape of Fame ; and in all the courts of law in the world, i am pictured with balances tinder the form of Justice. It i very well known that I am the pat ron of all those who hold opinions which tend to represent man as an automaton, anil the world as a machine ; but is it not equal ly notorious, that I give the chief impulse to those bodies, so numerous in evrry coun try, who substitute hy my means, their own morbid feelings for the simple pre cepts of what yon call your Sacred Writ ings. Ito them make melancholy and au sterity appear the indubitable marks of de votion; animal feelings the substitute for reason; and the dreams of a distempered imagination the test of infallible truth. I prompt the spiritual delirium of those who ■Mert that they re heffc'.ed by m*ted I dictate all those discourses which teach the doctrine (my own doctrine certainly) that faith and feeling are superiour to reason and revelation. In one word, bigotry and intolerance are mine, “Whether they pro ceed from the establishment that raises the cry of “ no popery,” or the poor uneducat ed arid blinded Catholick, who trust* to the vicegerent of St. Peter for admission into the eternal happiness of an immortal spirit. But to return from this digression, which may make many of my followers think I am turned monk, or bigot, 1 may observe “that one of my chief amusements is to pre side over the ever varying fashions of fe male attire. I taught the fairest part of your creation, when excess had tarnished the roses of their cheeks, to substitute, for tin colour of health, artificial roses ; for be it known, that rouge was first invented by me to serve a few particular friends, who wer anxious to retain the semblance of health and modesty, when the substance has de parted from their cheeks forever. I, i concert with a few devoted admirers, load ers of the fashions of Paris and London, shortened the petticoat till it had almost ceased to afford the shade of a fig-leal; and it was I (with the best inl< niions in the world von mav presume) who fiv-t hinted, in an assembly of ladies, all my special ac quaintances, that nature never meant their lovely necks and bosoms, or even any pari of their bodies to be concealed h> uunece* sarv envelopes of silk, muslin, or lace ; and 1 succeeded in convincing them, & the thou sands who have since followed their exam ple, that they might as well shroud their faces in handkerchiefs, as conceal a part of their form upon which natifre had lavish ed so much beauty. So kindly were my hints taken, that, had it not been for the affected modesty of the nth w sex, and sum ill-directed effusions of popular feeling, the ladies might, in spite of the climate, h tv carried their dress, or rather their undress, the length of complete nudity: u * * * * * for lovehness Needs not the foreign aid of ornament, But is when unadorn’d, adorn’d the piost.” In concert with a fashionable French dress maker, I invented the gown with ar tificial bosoms, for ladies who are deficient in these becoming prominences ; —g-ave the hint for cushions to assist the shape, for those who required bulk in a lower direc tion :—and invented a pad, which, had i’ been generally adopted, would have mad - all the ladies in civilized Europe look as “ladies wish to be who love their lords ’’ In short, all those pieces of dress which make the fair seem other than they really are, and are thus intended to deceive, are the fruit of my ingenuity, and meant to for ward my purposes; and l hope yon do .ml think it illogical in me to c.onc’ule, tin* those who adopt the deception assist nv in my views. A plnrne of feathers at a m*' 1 night ball has waved more than on-’ pretty lady into mv hands ; and ‘he anxiety to dis - - - ‘HI - l*l-. I need scarcely s av (hat (-.,r 0 the inven tor.of all those delightful ami inier -ting recreations, which mv enemies |, aV e nick named gambling; that routs, and as semblies, are mode- in which mv tv nr-hip pers of a certain class pay ‘heir h image at my altars; and that I am tlk ut disputed patron of all those unprejudiced fair ones, who, freed from the fetters with which vir tue and religion have shackled their vota ries, have, if your legend- were true, ruin ed their present, and forfeited their future happiness. j The establishment of circulating libra j ries was also a suggestion of nine ; and the in:, r nation so liberally doled out to young musters and misse* from these magazines of instruction, is quite fr nay ta-te. The imagination once inspired bv passion, an i the heart melted by love, (and who won!*! subscribe to a library that was not weii stocked with tales of love ?) my business is more than haffdnne. If a Damon want a Phillis, I am not long in finding one to hi mind ; and if a disconsolate damsel is soi/ ed with a sighing for a favourite knight, I take care she shall not sigh in vain. In fact I kooiv of no establishments where the knowledge of good-and evil is more speedi ly and practically acquired. To conclude, I am the patron of all nurs es, tutors, and gove'rnesses—that necessa ‘}’ aod useful class.o| people, whoso agree ably relieve parents of the charge of su perir.tending their offspring, and of forming their minds for time and for eterni'v; for I look down upon the sympathies of kindred as a narrftw minded prejudice, and the re lations of life, except in so far as self inter cst and pleasure are concerned, as little worthy of rigid observance. By the bye. I am not aware that your antiquaries know that the bear which suckled Romulus ur really a woman, but metaphorically called a bear, because she was only his nurse, not his natural mother;—though I think 1 once hinted this circumstance nearly thr>-e hun dred years ago, to Henry Stephens tho printer. I am, dear Sir,yours sincerely, SATAN. THE COSSACKS. The following amusing anecdotes of this in teresting people are derived from r. work recent ly published, entitled “ Characteristiek Portraits of the vanous tribes of Cossacks attached to the Allied Armies in the Campaign of 1815, Taken from life at Paris, and accompanied by historical particulars,” Sic. Speaking of the period when they were at Dresden, the writer thus proceeds : It appears that these rude people are by no means insensible to the charms of r.msick, for which they manifest a strong predilection. A party of them attracted by the solemn peal ofthe organ, entered a church while it was playing, con turned fixed in silent attention. Its tones ceased, and the officiating Clergyman commenced his ser mon. Phis address, in an unknown language, soon began to excite symptoms of impatience in the strangers ; one of whom stealing softly up the pulpit, unobserved by the Minister, startled him not a little by tapping him on the shoulder in the , 184 midst of hi* bmngue,and invited him,ns well as he 1 could by signs, accompanied by all sorts oi gro tesque gestures, to descend, and no longer inter rupt the gratification which the Organist afforded himself and his companions Notwithstanding the solemnity tft the place, thegravity of the min ister and hi* congregation were m t proof against , this.attack, and it was some time before the tor , mer could so far recover from its ludicrous etieot as to resume his discourse, : 1 “ Their fondness for musick was displayed on another occasion “A yoinig lady, of a respectable family, “<* s , seated ‘at her piano-forte, playing anu singing. She was heard by a Cossack who was under ner window. A* if enchanted, he followed the melo dious sounds, pursued his way up stairs, irom room to room, and after traversing several apart ments. discovered the right oue. lie entered and stood listening behind the lovelyniusieiaii, who, half dead with fear on perceiving the figure of her martial visiter in a mirror, w onld naturally have run away. He detained her, and, in an tin- ; intelligible language, blit with triendjy gestures, j btg’ged for a Ua capo ; and, without ceremony, fetched his comrades out of the street. Ih# mu sick soon relaxed the joints of, the bearded war riouis, .out, in a few iiiomeuts they struck up a charming Cossack dance in the bt st room in the house. The trembling girl was obliged to summon up all her courage an t strength, that tier fingers . might not refuse to perform their office in this crit- | it at juncture. She relumed sincere thunks to j Heaven when the dance was over, and was not a j little surprised when one of the delighted perform- j its, with-the most cordial gestures, laid a piece of | gdd on the piano forte. It was to no purpose ( that the young lady refused it; the donors retired,! leaving behind them the piece of money, which j the fair owner will doubtless preserve with care, \ a> a memorial of the lovers of dancing aud musick . from the deserts of vein. o The naivete of these people were (was) ex 1 pressed in a very different manner towards anoth- j eryoung lady, likewise of a genteel family, who, ‘ out of economy, and supposing her guests to tie so inured to hardship as to be proot against all sorts of weather, ha t directed that no fire should be made in the quaiii is destined It them I'hou. h the almanack had for soniedays announ ced the return, ol alt-reviving spring, the Cossacks experienced none of ils enlivening eti'ects in their uncomfortable quai'"-rs_ -1 ossatisfied with the plat, they sell, a m in quest -f of a warmer lodging. It was not long before they found one. i'his was the apai'inetil of ihe young lady ot the house, Ah! here toatin -heri paid—stay with, .dimsell. So e ti-tg, the reconuoitering parly took i strong position against the cold in Mam sell's room ; tliilin r all their baggage w as also soon transported Mamsetl, unless she had chosen to turn <io.se K too, was obliged to relinquish her apartniei.-’ tv her gallant guests, am.” to procure in ano’hnr the climate that she l ad quitted. ‘- A s. want-maid, groaning under ‘he weight of a h r.- basket cf damped linen, met a party of (.'os- i.-ks. i hey tmk the basket from hel, con vin.-cd.her, bv their gestures, that they intended j oo haf’ ~ and intimated by signs to the poor girl, t- how thru.) v hi. h way she was going. They n only .irried the basket to the mangle, but },, :oed to tern it for a whole hour; and when <h, . h ..j done, desired nothing but a kiss for their pains. “ \ f’os=ack, surrounded by a legion of boys, w’ om be sometime* look by the hand, and some times set a running, by throwing his cap for them to bring back again, met a lad selling cakes. He immediately laid an embargo on the whole stock of tile itinerant trader, which he divided among his merry companions, reserving for himself about l a doze:’ cakes which he put into the pockets of l his wide breeches. Whilst occupied in housing | then;, he spied an elegant lady coming towards —* ’ •!•’ r””*> arc cakes, three at a tune, out of his magazine, and ■ offered them to the lady, half dead with fright. ; Mamsell, good !—Dobre,Mamsell ! said he, with I a friendly smile. When, however, neither kind wor i nor gestures could prevail on Jttamsell to j accept the cakes, he thrust them into her reticule, and respectfully kissed her fair hand, in spite of j her endeavours to disengage them from his grasp. The lady made a precipitate retreat, and the Cos j * ack watfhed as long as she was in sight, with a ! look of concern. “ The booksellers shops, where representations of all the Russian nations were to be seen in the windows, were always beset with crowds of Cos sacks, who manifested the greatest joy in discov ering themselves among them. The Cossack Colonel, Prince G n , was quartered with a lady of rank. The footman of the latter, going out of the house one evening about nine o’clock, observed a Cossack before the door, holding two hoises. To his utter aston ishment he soon discovered that it was no other than Prince G. his mistress’s guest. ‘Good God !’ said he, ‘ is your highness holding horses ?’ Yes; a Cossack who did not know me. just r.s I was coining out of the house, asked me to hold them for a moment. I did not like to refuse him ; but the fellow stays rather too long. I have been standing here almost an hour.’ ‘ Let me take the bridle: I will hold she horses.’ ‘No; I rnut keep the promise which I have given the Cossack. A Cossack never breaks his word.’ Wtfilst the servant was expressing his surprise at this kind of observance of the word of and prince, the Cosack came op, recognized the illustrious horse-holder and threw himself at the feet of his Colonel, who mildly said, as he went away—‘Another time don’t stay so.long.” From the Post Bov. THE MONITOR. “ How comfortable a good fire is in a cold night ” said my wife Amy, as she blushed up the hearth and .put on a few sticks of wood that remained in the corner. Yes, I immediately replied as is my custom t do to whatever she affirms, apd pres ently (.11 mto reverie.

From a late London paper. Oi.d Bailf.v, Dec. 18. William Walford, an elderly man, whose dress was the remnant of better days, stood at the bar of this court upon an indictment charging him with a robbery. The poor man seemed to he no common thief, and to fed keenly Ins situation. The charge was investigated, and the wr< tohe man by incontrovert hie evidence, proved to be entity. He was called upon for his defence, when he delivere 1 the following narrative, which created a deep sympathy and compassioff tor the wretched delinquent, who was himself overpow ered by the recital of his sufferings. He stated that he was a few years ago possessed of friends, fortune and independence ; tint by an unfortu nate speculation, he lost all that he possessed. . His property was sold to pay his creditors, and 1 after some time, instead of being with a beloved j wife and seven children in a mansion elegantly 1 furnished, surrounded by friends, with all that | was necessary to gratify the most unbounded de sires, he found himself in an. obscure lodging with j his family entirely dependant upon him for sup i port. He procured a situation, as clerk in a ■ mercantile house, and kept his family as decentl) as he could: but his wife was unable to support ; the .sudden transition from splendour, and she j eloped with a man who professed to be his friend when he was in a state of prosperity. The house iu which he had procured a situation failed, and he was left with his children, and withont friends or the means of procuring even sufficient to eratify the cravings of nalure of him self and children. In an agonizing moment, when his little ones were crjii)*; for bread, he took an article belonging to the landlady of the house in which he lived (furnished lodgings,) and pledg ed it for 3s. r I his trifle purchased food, and was a temporary relief. Two davs elapsed, and he i found himself and children in the state before de- I scribed ; he took another article, and pledged that for half a crown ; and at different periods continued the same practice, till he had pledged .property to the amount of two or three pounds His land-lady discovered ihe robbery, and he was j apprehended ; but he begged the Court to hear in mind that he was not a thief in principle; no i thing but dire distress would ever have driven him to the commission of aiMinlawfui act. He could not bear to see his children starving, and he should be adding to his offence if he were to attempt to deny that with which he stood charged. The. witnesses were called up again by the Common Sergeant, and interrogated as to the truth of she prisoner’s statement, and they con firmed it ; the pawnbroker with whom the prop erty was pledged, said that he knew the prisoner when he was in a state of opulence, and kept his carriage and hi? country seat. The Common Sergeant told the prisoner he might rely that his case would meet the most se rious attention, and the greatest lenity would be shown him that was consistent with justice, when he should be brought up to receive hissenteuce. PROPOSAL For publishing in Augustine, East Florida , A WEEKLY PAPER, TO BE ENTITLED THE FLORIDA GAZETTE. f'P •” the gloiious characteristiek of the age in which we live, that the Press, if I10 ( the'her ald, i always the attendant upon every revolu tion, having for its object the emancipation of mind or the happines.- of man.
