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. 1 TANARUS/6 ’ ; musk D&er. —ln the Review of Fraser’s -l fir through the Himalaya Mountains, we |l the following account of the animal %'• k yield* the iashionable perfume called A. Mr Fraser calls the animal Musk fer, though it has generally been denom- Ul the Muskcat: The Musk Deer is an ii|* ty no means common in any situa ,lut keeps entirely the most inacces hand remote heights, among rocks and that defy the foot of man. They endure heat, and several young ones yich were presented to us invariably per , after being exposed a few days to -Sapth of a lower region. The figure ‘■ lusk Deer is somewhat singular, the size of a follow doe, or small >d its body and legs are completely ,/ <t a deer. The head, however, f ;a resemblance to that oTa hog; the *£, black and full, but mot so large as a deer usually is; and the sharp .'’d wrinkled counter ance give it a ible resemblance r to a pig’s head, f. rendered more remarkable by i | tusks that project from the upper i hang pointing d<r wnward, conside er the lower; at td their colour is wn. It is comar' ;on |y known that | <k I? contained in a liqtiid state in a tear the n ay/ el of , he aniina , caught, the j bag is taken just as and cut frt] , m the beast while . u ma l* ow reed is inserted t the musk/ ma y Do t suffer, as it i from want of air; IL ,].°| w 1 round with the sinew Ik MP* ‘ ,a this state, when it has dried, which it deei in the shape of unatl brown grains, it is sold, together with the skin, for twice its weight m silver. It is 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. , The longett inclined plane on this globe. — A drop of water which falls on the east cliff of the Snowy Mountains, (say in longi tude 40, west of Washington city,) descends the Missouri and the Mississippi; enters the Gulf Stream; slides along the coast of the United States; passes the bank of New foundland; descends towards the coast of Africa; and, taking a curve direction, de scends to the coast of its native country, un less evaporation arrests its march. 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.

Virtue wants— sincere votaries; Wisdom more earnest suppliants! and Truth —real friends and admirers. 4 Pure and undefiled Religion,’ want9 — less said about the theory , and more done about the prac tice of it. Philanthropy wants —a residents; and Fidelity —an asylum. Love and Charity want—to be In letter cred it. Pride wants—to be kicked out of company and Humility introduced. Every old woman, silly girl or officious young fellow, who hears af any amour, (or even ot two persons of different sexes being seen to converse together) wants mightily to be at the bottom of it. Every old Bachelor (who has not somebody, incog.) wants —a wife ; 4 every girl jn America,’ above fifteen, not already provided lor, wants— a husband. Balt. Pat. 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.

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. March, 1821. 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.
