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. Notice.
