POETRY. 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.” 188 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.

Savannah, March 1821. dffitf 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. I. The Florida Gatette will be published weekly, on a medium sheet, with new type, at Five Dollars per annum, payable on delivery of the first number. 11. No subscription will be received for a less term than one year—and no paper discontinued until all arrears are settled, except at the discre tion of the Editors. 111.
