POETRY.
The following is from a piece entitled, “ Vtrsts
written in a Quaker burial ground,” by Bar*
nard Barton, an Englishman, of the Quaker
denomination, and contains a vindication of
their disuse of sepulchral monuments.
“Could we conceive Death was indeed the close
Os our existence, Nature might demand
That, where the reliques of onr friends repose,
Some record to their inemonrihould stand,
To keep them unforgotten,in the land :
Then, then indeed, urn, tomh, or marble bust,
By sculptor's art elaborately plann'd,
Would seem a debt due to them moulfring dust,
Tho’ time would soon efface the perishable trust.
But hoping, and belivingyea, through Faith,
Knowing, because HIS Word has told us so,
That Christ, our Captain, triumphed aver Death,
And is the first fruita of the dead below:—
That he has trod for man this path of woe,
Dying, to rise again!—we would not grace
Death’s transitory spell with trophied show;
As if that shadowy vale supply’d no trace
To prove the grave is<iot our final dwelling-place.
Then, be our burial grounds as should become
A simple, but a not unfeeling race •
Let them appear to outward semblance dumb,
As best befits the quiet dwelling place
Appointed for the prisoners of Graoe,
Who wait the promise by the Gospel given,
When the last trump shall sound, —the trembling
base
Os tombs, of temples, pyramids be riven,
And all the dead arise before the hosts of Heaven!
Ob ! in that awful hour, of what avail
Unto tba “ spiritual body” will be found
The costliest canopy, or proudest tale
Recorded on it .’—what avail the bound
Os holy or unconsecrated ground ?
As freely will the unencumbered sod
Be cleft asunder at that trumpet's sound,
As royalty’s magnificent abode ;
As pure its inmate rise, and staud before hie God.”
MISCELLANY.
jXatural Curiosity. — The Grand Saline is
between the two forks of the Arkansaw,
about 280 miles southwest of Fort Osage.
It is a hard, level plain, of a reddish colour
ed sand, of an irregular figure, being in cir
cumference full thirty miles. From the
appearance of drift wood, scattered on this
tract, it would seem, the whole .plain was
occasionally overflowed by the surround
ing streams. This plain is entirely cover
ed, in dry, hot weather, from two to eight
inches deep, with a crust of clean, white
salt, of a quality rather superiour to the
imported blown salt, which bears a striking
resemblance to a field of new fallen snow,
succeeded by ram, with a light crust on the
top. Nothing can he more picturesque on
a bright sonny morning, than this natural
curiosity.— Dana.
The Prairie Dog is a curious animal. If
inhabits burrows; is about one third larger
than the fox squirrel; has a thick clumsy
head, large jaws, full large eyes, with small
ears; possessing a long body, short legs,
and a delicate small tail; his hair short and
sleek, of a light gray colour, except on the
felly, which*!? white. The noise it makes
“Is not unlike that of the ground squirrel, but
much louder, and somewhat resembling the
barking of a small cur. When met from
home, on its first approach, it is very fierce,
although it may be easily caught, and in a
few days domesticated, and is fond of being
i,’ caressed. It seldom drinks; feeds on the
,'yass near its hole, and remains torpid dur
ing the winter months. The towns (for so
Ihey are called) inhabited by this curious
Vtie animal, frequently more than a mile
: length, are in the large prairies, 300
ules west of the Mississippi, on the slopes
*tf hills distant from water courses. The
approach of a stranger is announced by the
/king of ail the curs in the village,
’bey now take theirstand behind the small
locks near their holes, into which they
*eat as the visitant approaches. The
res have declared war against these
V Trt republicks, and often make great ba
lk among the feeble, inoffensive citizens.

said the animal must be caught alive, in or
der to obtain its musk. Should it be shot,
the drug (it is affirmed) is absorbed into the
body, and consequently is not only lost, but
the animal is uneatable. The great value
of the article makes the animal an object
of great request. Whenever, therefore, it
is understood that a Musk Deer bas been
seen on any particular hill, the whole coun
try is turned out to hunt him down. This
alone would tend to create a scarcity of the
animal; and if it is as rare on the hills to
the southeastward, and on the opposite side
of the Himalaya range, as it is in that por
tion between the Sutley and Alacunda,
there is little danger that the market will
ever be overstocked by the genuine musk.

Curious Botanical Library. —l must never
cease to remember the ingenious and valu
able present of the late king, Lewis Bona
parte, to the collection of the library at
Dresden. It is the work of a German, and
consists of 135 vols. formed of wood. The
binding of each book is formed of a differ
ent tree; the back is ornamented with
pieces of the bark, and such mosses, lichens,
and other parasitica! plants as characterize
the species. Each volume opens, as it
were, in the centre of the leaves, and con
tains the bud, leaves, flower, fruit, farina,
and every other part in any degree illustra
tive of the nature of the tree. It affords a
complete and scientifick exemplification of
135 trees, beginning with the oak, and end
ing with the Juniper; and, in fact may be
considered as a brief and perfect epitome
of the German groves and forests. In the
case of plants, such as the rose and juni
per, the igneous parts of which are not suf
ficiently large for the purpose required,
the binding is formed of some ordinary
wood, sprinkled over with fine moss, and
then elegantly barred with the rose or ju
niper wood, giving the volume the appear
ance of a very valuable old manuscript
with iron clasps. On the whole it is one of
the most ingenious and complete produc
tions I have ever seen.
From the West Jersey Gaaelte.
THE PRINTER.
1 1 pity—l pity the printer,’ said my un
cle Toby.’ I Heis a poor devil,’ rejoined I.
4 How so?’ said my uncle Toby. 4 ln the
first place he must endeavour to please ev
ery body, and ten to one if he pleases any
body: In the negligence of the moment,
perhaps, a smalt paragraph pops upon him ;
he hastily throws it to the cofcpositor—it
is inserted—and he is and and to all intents
and purposes!’ 1 Too much the case,’ said
my uncle with a sigh, 4 too much the case.’
‘Nor is that all,’ continued I, 4 he some
times hits upon a piece that pleases him
mightily, and he thinks it cannot but go
down with bis subscribers; but alas I who
can calculate I— he inserts it, and all is over
with him. They may forgive others, bat
they can’t forgive a printer. He has a
host to print for; he has fools, and lie has
wise men: and every dance thatJcnows B
from a bull’s foot, sets up. for a critick.
■The pretty Miss exclaims, why don’t he
give us more poetry and bon mots ?—away
with these stale pieces. The politician
claps his specks on his nose, and runs it
over in search of violent invective’; he
finds none; he takes his specks off, folds
them, claps them in his pocket, declaring
the paper good for nothing hut to bum.
So it goes. Every one thinks it ought to
be printed expressly to please himself, as
he is a subscriber, and thus, weekly, it is
brought to the grand ordeal.’
Trim could no longer contain himself;
but rising, and making a stride to the mid
dle of the floor, with his arm3 a-kimbo, and
his head upright, exclaimed, with a loud
voice, 4 If I was a printer, an’t please your
honour, I’d please myself. I’d never give
up the ground to any one, or renounce one
sentiment. ,1 would not be swayed by the
whim, caprice or folly of every one, but
would mark out a straight line, and pursue
it.’ (Here Trim traced with the point of
his stick a right line from my stool.) 4 lf I
could not succeed in a plain independent
course, I’d freely kick the beam.’
Q IN THE CORNER.
Printers’ Trouble. —We do not believe any
class of people are worse treated than the editors
of papers. They serve a man with their labour
for yeare—when they call on them for ’heir pay,
it is taken as an insult. If a newspaper is irregu
larly printed, or not printed to suit the taste of
every reader the editor is blamed and abused ; the
cry is raised that be is neglecting bis business,
and deserves no more the confidence of the peo
ple—when, perhaps, poor soul, the only cause of
his neglect, is the neglect of bis subscribers to
pay him. \Virginian.
Curious Experiment.— ls a blacksmith strike
his anvil with a hammer, action and re-action are
equal, the anvil striking the hammer as forcibly
as the hammer strikes the anvil. If the anvil be
large enough, a man may place it on his breast,
and suffer another person to strike it with all his
force, without sustaining any injury, because the
vis inertia fn the anvil will resist the force of the
blow ; but if the anvil be too small tbe blow will
be fatal.
Remedy for Sore Eyes.—l have lately seen an
application for sore eyes, rapid in its good effects,
and so simple and cheap, that the poorest and ig
norant can obtain it. Take small sticks of sassa
fras, split in four pieces—put them in a vessel
with cold and fresh spring water—they impart a
|laliao\u matter to tbe water—wash sore eyes in
200
this liquid, which carts them without smarting or
heat—the poor suffer most from this disease.

Bishops. —All Bishops are not flatterers. In
the first division of Poland, in 1775, the Bishop
rick of Erruland fell to Prussia. Bishop Kralsky,
a man of great learning and wit, and a severe sut
ferer on this occasion, had frequently the honour
of dining with his Majesty. The King one day
said pleasantly te the ‘Bishop, 44 Be pleased, when
you goto Heaven, to take me under your mantle.”
Upon which the Bishop replied, 44 Your Majesty
has been pleased to curtail so much of my reve
nue, and in consequence, so much of the length
of my cloak, that 1 fear 1 shall not be able to cov
er your Majesty’s feet, and shall he detected in
the act of smuggling contraband goods !’’
[ Eng. paper.
Anecdote of the Honourable Henry Laurens,
while he was a prisoner in the tower of London.
After his pecuniary resources were expended,
by frequent demands for exorbitant fees, and
pen ink and paper withheld from him, by which
be would have been enabled to draw for funds;
an unexpected demand was made upon him by
one of the officers of the tower, for ninety pounds
sterling. Instead of expressing indignation, at
what might very reasonably have been considered
an intended insult, he mgdeitamatterof pleasan
try,and replied, “Really friend, if you make such
demands upon me, 1 cannut afford to stay here;
1 must quit my lodgings and go to some less ex
pensive place of residence.’’ In the House of
Commons, Mr. Burke indulged his feelings in bit
ter expressions against the Ministry, upon the
subject of Mr. Laurens’ rigorous confinement.
Lord Milhaven replied, charging Mr. Burke with
disaffection towards bis government, in holding
correspondence with an enemy; and that Mr.
Burke ought to be made the companion of his
rebel friend in the tower. Mr. Burke, in reply,
said he was too poor a man to bear the expenses
of a lodging in the tower; that abode would better
suit his lordship’s noble fortune; however, if hi the
tower, be could enjoy the company of such men
as Doctor Frankiin and Mr. Laurens, he should
not regret his being excluded from the society of
the noble Lord.

‘ PROPOSAL
For publishing in Augustine, East Florida,
A WEEKLY PAPER,
TO BE ENTITLED
THE FLORIDA GAZETTE.
IT is the glorious cbaracteristick of the age in
which we live, that the Press, if not the her
ald, is always the attendant upon every revolu
tion, having for its object the emancipation of
mind or the happiness of man. The Provinces of
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 the
exile and the fugitive from the oppression of Eu
ropean thraldom. Favoured by nature with a
fruitful soil—abounding in articles of luxury and
commerce, uid 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 of 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—
-44 Open to all parties—ltifiuenced 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. EDE3 & CO.
TERMS.
I. The Florida Gasette 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. Persons wishing the paper discontinued
at the end of the year, will give orders to that ef
fect ; otherwise they will be considered as sub
scribers for another term.
IV. Subscribers residing out of the city will
have their papers carefully packed, and forward
ed by the earliest conveyance.

PROPOSALS
For publishing by subscription ,
IN PENSACOLA,
The proposed seat of government for the Floridas,
A NEWSPAPER, TO BE CALLED
THE FLORIDIAN.
THE recent acquisition of the Floridas has
been hailed throughout the Union as the
attainment of an’ all important political desidera
tum. For although some object to the terni9,
none hesitate as to the necessity for the purchase.
As yet, we know little or nothing of the country,
an J can make but very imperfect estimates; we
have an indistinct, undefined idea of its relative,
political and commercial importance; but we
are almost wholly ignorant of its soil and climate;
we know that it connects and completes our At
lantick seaboard from Passamaquoddy to the Sa
bine ; we know that it affords several excellent
harbours; we know that it effectually excludes
foreign influence from the councils of various war
like and mischievous tribes of Indians: but we
wish further to know what are its agricultural ad
vantages, what the character of its soil, what its
produce, what the temperature and influence of
its climate, its geography, its topography, its po
litical and natural history and delineation.
With these views the undersigned propose to
publish a paper at Pensacola —whose main ob
ject will be the collection and diffusion of the re
quired information. Their earliest attention and
most assiduous enquiry, shall be directed to these
objects; and they are confident in the assertion,
that they will possess advantages, which no other
establishment can have.
The political events and changes of the gener
al government, and of the Territory of Florida,
will meet with proper attention and considera
tion.
The Floridian, will be conducted on p,ure
American and Republican principles; and as
such the Editors confidently rely on the patron
age of their fellow-citizens.
They will commence publication, immediately
after the United States receive possession, and no
exertion on their part shall be wanting to render
their paper useful and interesting.
TERMS.
The Floridian will be published weekly on
a Super-Royal sheet with anew and elegant
type, at Five Dollars per annum—Three Dol
lars to be paid on receipt of the first number—the
balance at the expiration of six months.
