POETRY ‘
r From Ike Boston Spectator.
XKX Wiro PASSKTH OVER IT, AUD IT U GONE.
I saw • dew-drop coo] end clear,
Dance on a myrtle *pr*y;
Tair colours deck’d the lucid tear,
Like thoee which gleam and disappear
When thowera and sunbeami play ;
Sol cast athwart a glance severe,
And scorched the pearl away.
High on a slender, polish’d stem,
A fragrant lily grew :
On the pore petals many a gem
Glitter’d a native diadem
Os healthy morning dew:
A blast of lingering winter came,
And snapp’d the stem in two.
Fairer than morning’s early tear.
Or lily’s snowy bloom,
Shines beauty in its vernal year,
Bright, sparkling, fascinating, elear,
Gay, thoughtless of its doom !
Death breathes a sudden poison near,
And sweeps it to the tomb.
JEPTHA’S DAUGHTER.
By Lord Byron.
Judges, Chapter xi.
Since our Country, our God—oh, my Sire !
Demand that thy Daughter expire;
Since thy triumph was bought by thy row—
Strike the bosom that’s bared for thee now !
And the, voice of my mourning is o’er,
And the mountains behold me no more;
If the hand that 1 love lay me low,
There cannot be pain in the blow.’
And of this, oh, my Father! be sure—
That the blood of thy child is as pure
As the blessing l beg ere it flow,*
And tbe last thought that soothes me below.
Though the virgins of Salem lament,
Be tbe judge and the hero unbent!
I have won the great battle for thee,
And my father and Country are free 1
When this blood of thy giving hath gush’d,
When th^, voice that thou lovest is hush’d,
Let my-roemory still be thy pride,
And forget not I smiled as I died.
MISCELLANY.
From the Jf. Y. .American.
VULGAR ERROURS. *
I subscribe to the assertion as a most val
uable troth, that the making of two blades
of grass grow where bat one grew before,
renders a more essential benefit to the. com
munity, than all the speculations in modern
philosophy. \ et, I hope it will not be con
sidered as wholly unprofitable to expose
Some of the most familiar and ridiculous
absurdities, and pluck a few of tha rooted
errours of ignorance from that “ fright
ful waste, the wilderness of the mind—that
Unweeded garden, where things rank and
gross possess it merely.”
The sm drawing water. —lt is a very com
mon sayfhg when the rays of the sun are
seen breaking through the clouds, that the
sm draws water; when, in fact, there is no j
water concerned in the appearance: fori
were it water, the light would be decompo
■ed, and show the prismatick colours of the
rainbow. It is merely the particles of a
dusty and smoky atmosphere, reflecting and |
rendering visible those rays which find a j
passage between the loose clouds that lie.
before the son. In a.perfect mediurti there
is no reflection or refraction. For instance,
a ray admitted through a small aperture in
a still, dark room, :s not visible except
where it strikes some object, until you dis
turb the du3t ou the floor, when the parti
cles, by their reflection, present a beautiful
pencil of light, perfectly definable, and
sensible to sight; and presents an appear
ance anaiagous to the sun drawing water.
Frost in steel. —Many mechanicks and la
bourers, in cold weather, will not use an
edge tool until they have warmed it ever
the fire to take the frost out, and the mois
ture which appears on the surface they im
agine to be frost generated in the metal.
There is nothing mure fallacious than such
•m idea; it is merely the condensation, by
• e c °bl body, of the vepoui* produced bv
the combustion of wood. Heat it in the
close oven of a stove, or over a clear char
coal fire, and there is no such appearance.
That edge tools are more liable to break
in cold weather, is true, undoubtedly owing
to its contraction, and consequently be
coming specifically harder. The rational
of tne hardening of steel by plunging it into
water when hot, is its contraction in bulk,
and the disarrangement and confusion of its
crystallization.
Breathing on cutting instruments to ascer
tain their temper.—' Thi> is (he most vulgar
errour t} ia t ever intelligent men adhered
to. The common idea is, that if the breath
passes off quickly, it is an indication of high
temper, and the contrary a low temper,
bod the article is consequently rejected as
good for nothing. Now the whole cause of
this appearance is owing to temperature
alone, and not at all to the temper of the
blade, merely by condening the vapour
exhaled from the lungs by breathing; the
Softest piece of malleable iron, and the
hardest piece of tempered steel, will show
the appearance, at the same tempera
ture, as any one may cuntince himself by
lying a blade that holds the condensed va
pour of the breath a long time, which is
always the case in cold weather, on his
hand, until it arrives at* or nearly blood
Jieat; when on applying this infallible testj’
loses the breath as soon as applied, which
according to the received opinion, indicates
a high tempered article. This superitition
is inflicted on every retailer of eotlery, fre
quently to their serious injury, by rusting
and soiling a great number of their articles,
and ought to be exploded as a most ridicu
lous absurdity. I know a very clever sales
man, who is enabled to sell bis p°°re 9t
wares to those who believe in this false
criterion, by holding them on his hand a
minute, and thereby using this fallacious
test to his profit, and its believer’s loss.
pHoff.ssor OF SIGNS.
King James VI. on removing to London,
was waited upon by the Spanish Ambassa
dor, a man of erudition, but who had a crot
chet in his head that every country should
have a professor of signs, to teach him and
the like of him to understand one another.
The Ambassador was lamenting one day,
before Ihe King, this great desideratum
throughout all Europe, when the King,who
was a quecrish sort of a man, says to h:m
‘ Why, I have a professor of signs in the
northernmost college in my dominions, viz.
at Aberdeen: but it is a great wav off, per
haps 600 miles.’ ‘ Were it 10,000 leagues
off I shall see him, 1 says the Ambassador,
‘and am determined to set out in two or
three days.’ The King saw he had com
mitted himself, and,writes, or causes to be
written, to the university of Aberdeen, sta
ting the case, and desiring the professors to
put him off some way, or make the best of
him. The Ambassador arrives, s* received
with great solemnity ; but soon hegHO to
inquire which of them had the honour to be
professor of signs? and being told that the
professor was absent iu the Highlands, and
would not return nobody could say when —
says the Ambassador, ‘ 1 will wait his return
though it were twelve months.’ Seeing
that this would not do, and that they had to
entertain him at a great expense all the
while, they contrived a stratagem. There
was one Geordy, a butcher, blind of an eye,
a droll fellow, with much wit and roguery
about him. He is got, told the story, and
instructed to be a professor of signs; but
not to speak on pain of death ! Geordy un
dertakes it. The Ambassador is now told
that the professor of signs would be at
home next day, at which he rejoiced great
ly. Geordy is gowned, trigged, and placed
in a chair of state in a room of the college,
all the professors and the Ambassador be
ing in an adjoining room. The Ambassa
dor is now shown into Geordy’s room, and
left to converse with him as well as he
could, the whole professors waiting the is
sue with fear and trembling. The Ambas
sador holds up one of his fingers to Geor
dy ; Geordy holds up two of his. The
Ambassador holds up three ; Geordy clench
es his fist and looks stern. The Ambassa
dor then takes an orange from his pocket,
and holds it up ; Geordy takes a piece of
barley cake from his pocket, and holds that
up. Alter which the Ambassador botvs to
him, and retires to the other professors,
.vho anxiously inquired his opinion of their
brother. 4 He is a perfect miracle ,’ says
the Ambassador; 4 I would not give him for
the wealth of the Indies 4 Well,’ say the
professors, 4 to descend to* particulars.’
4 Why,’ said the Ambassador, 4 ! first held up
one finger, denoting that there is one God ;
he held up two, signifying that these are
the Father and the Son ; 1 held Op three,
meaning the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;
he clenched his fist, to say that these three
are one. 1 then took.out an orange, signi
fying the goodness of God, who gives his
creatures not only the necessaries, but the
luxuries of life; upon which the wonderful
man presented a piece of bread, showing
that it was the staff of life, and preferable
to every luxury. The professors were
glad th > matters had turned out so well ;
so having quit of the Ambassador, they
next got Geordy, to hear his version of the
signs. 4 Well, Geordy, how have you come
on, and what do you think of yon man ?’
4 The rascal!’ says Geordy, 4 what did he
do first, think ye ? He held up one finger,
as much as to say, you have only one eye !
Then I held up two, meaning that my one
eye was perhaps as'good as both hi*.
1 hen the fellow held up three of his fingers,
to say that there were jut three eyes be
tween us; and then I was so mad at the
scoundrel, that I steeked myneive , and was
lo come a whack on the side of his head,
and would ha’ done it too, but for your
<akes. Then the rascal did not stop with
his provocation here ; but forsooth, takes
out an orange, as much as to say,Your poor,
beggarly, cold country cannot produce that!
1 showed him a whang of a bear bannock,
meaning that I did not care a farthiug for
him nor hi? trash neither, as lang’s l ha’
this! But by a’ that’s guid, (concluded
Geordy,) I’m angry yet that I didna’ thrash
the hide o’ the scoundrel !’ [So much for
signs, two ways of telling a story.]
TP.OM THE MOSTHLT MAGAZINE FOR FEBRCART.
The Dog of the Convent of St. Bernard.
Among the many excellent and interes
ting liue engravings which have been im
ported by our print-sellers, few have sur
passed that of the celebrated Dog of St.
Bernard by a Swiss arlist.
The dog whose portrait is introduced,
was one of (hat ‘species of Alpine mastiffs
which furnished the subject of Mr. Edwin
Landseer’s fine .picture of a traveller per
ishing in the snow, saved by tbe sagacity of
one of the convent dogs, exhibited last year
at the British gallery. This true Philan
thropist, whosfi name was Barry, bore by
way .of decoration and use, the collar of an
order which was repowned for its hospital
ity and love for mankind. It was neither
the collar °f the order of the Garter, nor
of the Bath, nor of tbe Thistle—but bore,
irtfitead of the George, the three crowns, or
the Cross of St. Andrew, a bottle fillft] with
a restorative cordial for the help ofbeces
sitous mortals.
The zeal of this philanthropick quadru
ped, is known to have saved the lives of
8
forty unfortunate traveller*, who but for
his assistance under the direction of the
truly Christian monks of St. Bernard must
have perished in the dread and dreary
wastes of that neighbourhood. It Barry
was in time with his succours, he relieved
the unfortunate from his bottle, and with
the garment which his worthy masters had
tied around his body; but if he could not
by his warm tongue and brealh restore stifV
ficient animation, he returned to the con
vent and brought with the ntmost expedi
tion the more efficient assistance of one ot
the brethren.
The event here represented is when he
saved the life of a beautiful child by him
self. Ha found one day in his hospitable
excursions, a child asleep, and almost fro
zen,in a cavern of ice, in the celebrated
glacier of Balaore, Barry warmed the
child, licked him, awoke him, presented
him with hil restorative bottle, and carried
him on his back to the convent. The event
may be anticipated. The child was saved
and restored to his disconsolate pareuts.
When age had diminished the strength
of this sagacious animal, who gives us more
than common reason to say with the Poet,
“I am a friend to dogs,
For they are honest creatures. They ne’er
Betray their masters, nor fawn on those (hey do
not love,”
he was sent by the superiour of the con
vent to finish his usefully employed days
tranquilly at Berne. His old age was long,
happy and carefully treated. After his
death, which is but ncent, his body was
carefully buried and his skin stuffed to imi
tate nature, and with ai action resembling
life, stands in this state decorated with his
collar and bottle, in the Museum at Berne.
Stone Eater. —ln 1760, was brought to Avig
non, a true lithopagus, or stone eater. He not
only swallowed dials of an inch and a half long,
a full inch broad, and half an inch thick ; but
such stones as he could reduce to powder, such
as uiartdes, pebbles, &c. he made into paste,
which was to him a most agreeable and whole
some food. I examined this man, with al| the at
tention I possibly could. I found his gullet vary
large, his teeth exceedingly strong, his saliva very
corrosive, and his stomach lower than ordinary,
which I imputed to the vast number of dints he
had swallowed, being about five and tweuty, one
day with another.” Upon interrogating his keep
er,'he told me the following particulars: “ This
stone-eater,” says he, “ was found three years ago
in a northern uninhabited island, by some of the
crew of a Dutch ship. Since I have had him, 1
make him eat raw desh with stones j 1 could never
get him to swallow bread. He w ill drink water,
wine and brandy; which last liquor gives him in
finite pleasure, lie sleeps at least twelve hours
in a day, sitting on the ground with one knee over
the other, and his chu*resting on his right knee.
He smokes almost all the time he is not asleep or
is not eating. The dints he has swallowed he
voids somewhat corroded and diminished in
weight.” .
Early Genius. —There is scarcely any obstacle
more fatal to the full developement and useful
application of talent than an early display of ge
nius. The extravagant caresses lavished upon it
by tire Tight and injudicious, are too apt to beget
a self confidence in the possessor, and render him
impatient ot the paiDfiil discipline of study; with
out which, genius at best is irregular, ungoverna
ble, and oftentimes splendidly erroneous.
Politeness. —When a people have arrived at
that point in the scale of politeness, which entire
ly discards delicacy, the chastity of their women
must be at a low ebb ; for delicacy is (he senti
nel that is placed over female virtue, and that
sentinel once overcome, chastity is more than
half conquered.
Letter Writing. —The best time to frame an
answer to the letters of a friend, is the moment
you receive them. The warmth of friendship
and the intelligence received most forcibly co
operate.
Mutability is the badge of infirmity. It is sel
dom that a man continues to wish and design the
same thing two days together. Now he is for
marrying and by and by a mistress is preferred
before a wife. Now he is ambitious and aspiring;
presently the meanest servant is not more humble
than he. This hour he squanders his money
away ; the next he turns miser. Sometimes he
is frugal and serious ; at other times profuse, airy
and gay.
Confessions.— A Roman Catholick curate, to
free himself from the labours of confession in lent,
gave notice to his parishioners, that on Monday
he should confess the liars ; on Tuesday the mi
sers ; on Wednesday the slanderers ; on Thursday
the thieves ;on Friday the libertines; and on Sat
urday the bad women. His scheme succeeded—
none attended.
A dangerous question. —A simple ostler being
one day at confession to his priest, was asked by
the father if he had never greased the teeth of the
guests’ horses, to prevent their eating their allow
ance of hay and oats ? 4 Never,’ replied the ostler.
In a subsequent confesrion the ostler acknow
ledged the frequent commission of that fraud—
-4 How,’ said the priest, 4 l remember at your last
confession, yon said you had never done so ?’ 4 N
more I had then,’ answered the ostler; 4 for, till
you told me, 1 never knew that greasing a horse’s
teeth would prevent his eating; but since you
first put it in my mind I have been tempted to
practise that fraud.
An Englishman asked an Irishman if the roads
in Ireland were good.— 4 Yes,’ said the Irishman,
4 60 excellent that ( wonder you do not import
some of them into England. We have the road
to love strewed with roes—the road of matrimo
ny through a duel—the road to prison through
the courts of law—and the toad to the underta
ker’s through the apothecary’s shop.’ 1 Have you
any road to preferment? 4 No,’ said the Irishman,
4 not now—that road, since the Union, is remov
ed to England: you pass through it to the king’s
palace, and I am told it is the dirtiest road in
Great Britain.’
Omens and Forewarnings. —Causes of events
can be alone forewarnings; If a man lilt a stick
me, it is ominous that I am in danger of
rearing a blow ; but no previous circumstance
not connected with the cause, or not being a suffi
cient cause, can be ominous of any paVlicukir
event. Superstition connects incidents which
have no connexion with the cause of an event as
a forewarning ; .but philosophy and reason admit
no forewarning except it be an operative cause
sufficient to produce the result anticipated. Post
this truth over the fireplace of every house, and
it will soon cease to be haunted by ominous signs,
aud superstitious forewarnings.
