From the Boston Ctntincl.
WHAT IS THE WORLD?
Love not the world, neither the things that are
in the world.”—l John, ii. 15.
By H. S. Ellenwood.
O! what is the world that is talked of so much,
Whose pleasures so highly are prised ?
Affliction may tell; for her tendercst touch
Proves it Folly, by Cunning disguised:
Thy lessons, Adversity, teach us a truth,
Disbelieved in Prosperity—slighted in Youth.
How anxious for riches the multitude toil!
How many are seeking for fame
In the race how they pant, and forget thqjturmoil,
That Me world may be fili’d—with a name.’
Ah ! few, very few, stay to think of the hour,
When wealth will be useless, and impotent pow’r.
What crowds live for naught but to eat and to
sleep,
W T ho would tremble their lives to resign !
What thousands in sickness and poverty weep,
Who at Death’s dread approach would repine!
Now if on the earth there were genuine faith,
Would the poor and the wretched so shudder at
death ?
All, all are in love with the world. They pursue
Some end they can scarce hope to gain;
Each mom they begin with an ardency new,
Each night of fatigue they complain ;
Nor remember, so weary, so busy they are,
That distant is happiness— distant how far!
The true art of life is to fill up our hours
With works for the good of mankind ;
Here, here’s a vocation, well worthy the powers
Os the best and the loftiest mind ;
The task is but light, yet immense the reward
Os him who thus labours—to imitate God !
What oar hands find to do, let us do with our
might,
And, the days of our usefulness o’er,
Though melt we away in Death’s shadowy night,
The faithful shall hear en restore:
Who, then, would in Pleasure's dull vortex be
hurl’d,
And live for self only ?—*o what is the world !
MISCELLANY.
From the National Advocate.
CLOCK WORK MACHINERY.
There is now exhibiting at Mr. Voxel's
in Broaiiway, several wonderful pieces of
clock work machinery 7 ,which,perhaps,equal
the masterly ingenuity of the Automata of
Vaucauson, or of Albert the Great.
The first is a small elegantly wrought
gold cage, surmounting a musical clock
work. In this cage is a fountain, and a bird
not larger than a bee, which sings, flutters
its wings, and flies from one part of the cage
to another. The base of the second is aUo
occupied by a musical clock work ; it repre
sents a group of quadrupeds around the ba
sin of a fountain, where a goat drinks and
performs a variety of movements. In front
is a basket with a pear in it: the moment
the pear is touched, a dog on the other side
gnashes his teeth, barks and shakes himself
till the pear is replaced, while a monkey
■behind threatens him with a stick, and in
the mean time munches an apple. Abut
terfly rests on a pillar above the fountain,
and moves its wings and feet. The back
ground to this group is a mass of rocks, from
among which, now and then, a fox makes
its appearance. Above these rocks there
is a small patch of blue sky, and the sun tur
ning on his axis, and also accomplishing his
diurnal revolution. This is a remarkably
complicatedpiec.fi of machinery, none of the
figures being more than an inch in length.
The third i= a cage, very large and high
ly ornamented. On the top, is a black man.,
who beats time to the chiming of several
satyrs and two monkeys, one of whom grin®
quite ludicrously. But the wonderful thing
is two Canary birds that sing the natural
notes of these birds, flutter* and flap their
wings, and spring from one perch to anoth
er. In this cage i3 a fountain, which falls
by several stories; and the artificial ar
rangement of pieces of glass represents, go
naturally, the sound and glitter of falling
water, that both the eye and the ear are
deceived.
The fourth is a park with two country
eearts, out of which come two ladic*, who
exchange mutual salutations, and bow to
the company. Attracted by the sudden
flight and song of a bird in a grove beside
them, they turn and listen. The bird, not
larger than a bee, sings and flutters for
some time, and then flies away among the
trees. Upon lit:.-, the ladies repeat their
bows and courtesies to each other, and to
the coajpuny, and withdraw into their hou
ses. On the top of the dome above, is a
large butterfly, which closes and expands
its wings and'moves its feet in a perfectly
natural manner. This, and indeed all the
machinery plays a variety of tunes.
The fifth and sixth are two magicians,
the French and the American. There is
a set number of questions to each, and on
any one of these being placed in a drawer
for the purpose, the magician goes through
a variety of ceremonies and gives the an
swer, which is always appropriate. It
is said that several celebrated mechan
icians have been allowed to take these
machines to pieces, yet have never been
able to discover by what coutrivance the
right answer is always given.
The last is called a perpetual motiou;
although perhaps the power that it posses
ses is not strong enough for any application
to extensive machinery. It consists of a
large wheel, at equal distances, a certain
number of moveable hollow cylinders, each
containing an equal proportion of quicksil
ver. The weight of the quicksilver, which
moves from one side (o the other as the
wheel turns, determines the horizontal or
perpendicular position of the cylinders. By
their horizontal position, in falling, the cir
cumference of the wheel is continually en
larged on one side, and diminished on the
other by their perpendicular position in ri
sing; this creates two unequal semicircles,
the one more eccentrick than the other and
thu9 causes a perpetual rotation.
OLD MAIDS.
A sprightly writer expresses his opinion
of Old Maids, in the following manner :
I am inclined to believe that many of (he
satirical aspersions cast upon Old Maids,
tel! more to their credit than is generally
imagined, h a woman remarkably neat
in her person, “ she will certainly be an Old
Maid.” Is she particularly reserved to
wards (he other sex? “she has all the squea
mishness of an Old Maid.” Is she frugal in
her expenses and exact in her domestick
concerns ? “ she is cut out for an Old Maid.”
And if she is kindly humane to the humble
animal about her, nothing can save her from
the appellation of an “ Old Maid.” In short,
I have always found, that neatness, modes
ty, economy and humility are the never
failing characterriticks of that terrible crea
ture, “ an Old Maid!”
THE BACHELOR.
Culling the other evening to see it single
gentleman, somewßat on (he wrong side of
forty, I found him walking backwards and
forwards over the floor, with his hands in
his pockets. “ Why, the man must be in
love,” said I, laughingly, as I entered,
w Is at at all, not at all,” he replied, “ but 1
am in a confounded ill humour. I do be
lieve that I’ll marry the first woman that
comes in my way, for (he sake of being any
thing hut an old bachelor; 1 am tired to
death with tea zing, and quizzing, and ban
tering on every side. I can’t step out of
the door, without a napkin pinned to my
coat, or a red flannel cockade to my hat.
1 went twice to church last Sunday, with a
pig’s tail stuck under my collar, in imita
tion of a queue. About a month since, 1
visited an uncle of mine, who dressed as
plain as George Fox—with a queen and
ten of hearts stuck upon either button be
hind—by whom, 1 never have been able to
learn. It would seem as if they took plea
sure in tormenting me. I srept last night
into Mrs. D *s; a seat was handed, and
1 found mvvlf sprawling on the floor, ere
I discovered the chair had hut three legs;
and Miss Fanny, pretending to think I had
fainted, threw a tumbler of wafer directly
into my face. All this was thought to be
very innocent, as lam an old bachelor;
and should they break my neck, as I verily
believe they will, they will sav, O, never
mind, he was nothing but an old bachelor.
Now, yesterday morning, a parcel of young
girls, at the head of whom was Fanny
D , by some means or other, gained
admission into my store, which being filled
with ironmongery, is the last place in the
world I should have apprehended they
would select as a theatre for mischief. ,
But so it was, while 1 was singing at church,!
they were knocking my kettles and pots j
to a much merrier tune. The next morn- !
ing presented a dismal scene. I was quiet- :
ly getting shaved, when my boy who was •
opening the store, ran into the room with j
inexpressible terror, knocked the barber 1
in openmg the door, over a kettle of hot
water, and with the little breath that re-1
mained declared that the store had been 1
robbed. Although it was some distance, I
ran out with my face ju?t lathered, and a
towel stuck under my chm. The store
was not yet opened, and was very dark;
so, 3 r ou may suppose, 1 broke my shins over
the scattered ware. There were razors
and hobnails scattered over the floor, inter
spersed with locks, keys and screws; and a
lanre copper still filled with frying pans,
caseknives, scissors, my portable desk, sur
tout coat, and many other articles, too nu
merous to mention. This was all done to
torment the old bachelor. I have now de
termined to marry the first woman who is
so “ood natured as to have me.”
O
THE VAMPYRE.
Captain Stedman in his “Narrative of a
Five Years’ Expedition against the revolt
ed Negroes of Surinam,” relates, that on
waking about four o’clock one morning in
his hammock, he was extremely alarmed !
at finding him->elf weltering in congealed
blood, and without feeling any pain what
ever. “ The mystery was,” continued
Capt. S. “ that 1 had been bitten by the
Vampyrc or Spectre of Guiana, which is also
called the Flying Dog ofvNew Spain, and
hy the Spaniards, Perrovolador. This is no
other than a bat of monstrous size, that
sucks the blood from men and cattle, while
they are fast asleep, even sometimes till
they die ; and as the manner in which they
proceed is truly wonderful, 1 shall endeav
our to give a distinct account of it. Know
ing, by instinct, to attack in a sound slum
ber, they generally alight near the feet,
where, while the creature continues fan
ning with his enormous wings, which keeps
one cool, he bites a piece out of the tip of
the great toe, so very small indeed, that the
head of a pin could scarcely be received
into the wound, which is consequently not
painful; yet through this orifice be con
tinues to suck the blood, until he is obliged
to disgorge. He then begins again, and
thus continues sucking aud disgorging until
he is scarcely able to fly; and the sufferer
has often been known to sleep from time
into eternity. Cattle they generally bite
in the ear, but always iri places where the
blood flows spontaneously. Having appli
ed tobacco ashes as the best remedy, and
washed the gore from myself and hammock,
I observed several small heaps ot congeal
ed blood all around the place where I had
lain upon the ground; on examining which,
the surgeon judged I had lost at least twelve
or fourteen ounces during the night.”

THE “ PICTURED ROCKS”
On the southern shore ot Lake Supefiour
are described by those who have had the
pleasure to see them,as furnishing one of the
most astonishing and magnificent natural cu
rioMties that can be found in our country.
An intelligent gentleman, who accompanied
Governo.ur Cass in his tour last Summer,
describes them a9 surpassing, in grandeur,
(he far-famed Cataracts of Niagara. I hey
form a perpendicular wall ot about three
hundred teet in height, and extend along
the shore about ten miles; the projections
and indentations are numerous, and the im
agination of the observer throws them into
various forms—sometimes the lronts of
buildings—now a tower, and anon Castles
and Columns, appear in varied succession.
In many places, vast caverns are worn into
the rocks by the waves, the entrances to
which arc sometimes cragged and irregular,
and sometimes regular hemispherical arch
es, supported by mighty pillars. The small
est wave rushing into these caverns, causes
a loud, jarring, and awtul sound, which, to
the ear of the passenger, is dashed along
by echo, to be mingled with, and to increase
the noises which rush from distant caverns.
The Indians never pass these rocks but
in a calm tune, and when there are no in
dications of a storm. It is said that they
believe the caverns to be the abode of bad
spirits, and, owing to the superstition, or to
the awe which the scenery inspires, they
generally observe a profound silence when
passing them. [Detroit Gazette.
FLORIDA.
It is very important to a correct estimate of the
value of the Florida acquisition, that according to
the best accounts, the finest Coffee ill the world,
that of Mocha, in Arabia, is produced by poor
and sandy soils. The crops are not so large as
upon rich lauds, but they are more certain and
the quality is superiour.
It is also important, that the long round of our
new sandy coast affords the best ground to ex
pect numerous places for the manuiacture ot salt,
by the sun, and without fire. The climate ol
Florida is better adapted to this important man
ufacture than those of the bay of St. Übes or
Settuvol, in Portugal, near Lisbon, or even the
bay of Cadiz and port St. Mary, in Spain.
The olive climate of Provence in France, and
of Tuscany in Italy, are both less favourable as
to moisture, cold and .frost, than the climate ot
the peninsula of Florida. The Provence and
Lucca and Tuscany oils are the finest in the
world. [Dem. Press.
Andre's) Marvell , M. P. For Hull.
The merit* of this true patriot are not duly ap
preciated. Republican Rome could not boast a
more independent spnit; nor Imperial Rome a
more polished and enlightened mind. His enco
mium on Milton is well known It was this great
man’s misfortune to live under the reign of the
second Charles.
“ A.it inter scabrem bantam et contagis lucri
“ Nili. parvum sapeibal adliue siblimiacurans.”
Lord Danby waited on him at bis lodgings in
an obscure court in London, to inform him that
he was commissioned by his Majesty to offer him
any situation in the ministry, if he would support
the measures of that abandoned court. Marvell
replied that it was not in the King’s power to
serve him; neither could he accept any offer
from his majesty without being ungrateful to his
constituents by betraying their interests, or to
the King by voting against him. Lord Danby
then informed him that he had brought with him
a thousand pounds, of which the King begged bis
acceptance, as a mark of his private esteem and
regard. Marvell iustantlyrang the bell—“ John,
what did you provide for my dinner yesterday?
A shoulder of mutton, Sir. What am I to have
today? The remainder hashed. And what to
morrow ? The blade bone boiled.” Then, having
dismissed his servant, he turned to Lord Danby,
and not without aa honest indignation, observed,
“ YOll see, my lord, i am not a man to be bri
bed !” Poor as he w r as, the King of England was
not rich enough to purchase him. His wants
were small—his integrity great. It was said that
on the same day he borrowed a guinea of a friend.
BONAPARTE.
Monsieur le Compte de Polignac had been
raised to honour by Bonaparte; but, from some
unaccountable motive, he betrayed the trust bis
patron reposed in him. As soon as Bonaparte
discovered the perfidy, he ordered Polignac to be
put under arrest. Next day he was to have
been tried, and in all probability would have been
condemned, as his guilt was most undoubted.
In the interim, Madam Polignac solicited and ob
tained an audience of the Eiuperonr. “1 am
sorry,Madam,for your sake,” said he, “ that your
husband has been implicated in an affair which is
marked throughout with such deep ingratitude.”
“ He may not have been so guilty as your majesty
supposes,” said the countess. “Do you know
your husband’s signature ?” asked the Emperour,
as he took a letter from his pocket, and presented
it to her. Madam de Polignac hastily glanced
over the letter, recognized the writing, and faint
ed. As soon as she recovered, Bonaparte, offer
ing her the letter, said, “Take it; it is the only
legal evidence against your husband ; there is a
fire beside yon.” Madam de Polignac eagerly
seized the important document, and in an instant
committed it to the flames. The life of Polignac
was saved ; his honour it was beyond the power
even of the Emperour to redeem.
Trade makes Cities.
King James I. being displeased that the city of
London could not lend him a sum of money, told
the Mayor and Aldermen that he would remove
hu court, with all the records of the Tower, and
the courts at Westminster Hall; with some ex
pressions to the like purpose. The Lord Mayor
calmly heard him out, and then aiswered,
“ Your Majesty hath power to do what you
please, and your city of London will obey accor
i dingly; but r<he humbly desires that when your
Majesty shall remove your courts, you will be
i pleased to leave the Thames behind you.

PROPOSAL
For pub%hing in Xugustine, Fast Florida
A WEEKLY PAPffltf
TO BE ENTITLED
THE FLORIDA GAZETTE
IT is the glorious characteristick of the age in
which yve live, that the Press, if not the her
ald is always the attendant upon every revolu
tion, having for its object the emancipation o!
mind or the happiness of man. The Provinces ot
Florida having now become apart of the territory
of the United States, it is believed that the tide of
emigration will set rapidly towards her shores, in
creasing her wealth, and filling her ports with our
enterprising and industrious fellow citizens of the
old states, and offering a home and a refuge to tl )c
exile and the fugitive from the oppression of Eu
ropean thraldom. Favoured by nature with n.
fruitful soil—abounding in articles of luxury and
commerce, and blessed with a climate more con
genial to the constitution of the stranger and so
journer than the southern states, this section of
our country must become great and powerful, and
in time rival its neighbours in Agriculture, Com
merce and in Arts. With these impressions, and
under the belief that a well conducted Press is
one of the most powerful auxiliaries, not only to
morality and religion, but in promoting the wel
fare of any particular section of country, the sub
scribers propose to publish in the city ol St, Au
gustine, a Newspaper, under the above title.
The Editors of the Gazette do not wish to make
promises, or to raise expectations which may
never be realized. It is sufficient to say that the
politicks of their publication shall be American,
and their conduct in the management shall be in
strict accordance with the maxim—
“ Open to all parties—lnfluenced by none.”
It will be the object of their industry and labour
to render the Gazette the vehicle of the latest in
telligence, Political, Commercial and Literary,
and'no effort will be spared to render it a pleas
ing, an interesting and a valuable publication.
RICHARD W. EDES A CO.
TERMS.
