w knew that the moment was drawing nigh,
To fulfil every fearful token ;
When the silver cord must loosen its tie,
And the golden bowl be broken ;
When the fountain's vase and the cistern's wheel,
Should alike to our trembling hearts appeal.
And now shall thy dust return to the earth,
Thy spirit to God who gave it;
Yet affection shall tenderly cherish thy worth,
And memory deeply engraved,
Not upon tables of brass or stooe,
But in those fond bosom* where best ’(was known.
Thou shalt live in mine,thongh thy life be fled,
For friendship thy name shall cherish ;
And be one of the few, and the dearly loved dead,
Whom my heart will not suffer to perish.
Who in lovliest dreams are before me brought,
And in sweetest faours of waking thought.
But oh ! there is one, with tearful eye,
Whose fondest desires fail her ;
Who indeed is afraid of that which is nigh,
And fears by the way assail her ;
Whose anguish confesses that tears are vain,
Since dark are the clouds that return after rain.
May HE, who alone can scatter those clouds,
Whose love all fear dispelleth ;
W’fio, though for a season his face he shrouds,
In light and in glory dwelleth,
Break in on that mourner’s srml from above,
And bid ber look upwards, with holy love.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
KORNER , THE GERMAN POET.
Th* untimely fate of genius can never foil to
gxcite in the reflecting and ingenuous mind sen
sations of peculiar interest and regret. Even
when men who have been distinguished for great
intellectual strength, or brilliant imaginations,
and who have employed the whole energies of
their minds for the instruction and rational amuse
ment of their fellow beings, until they have lite
rally grown grey in their employments, sink down
to the tomb, and experience, In the common
course of nature, that “ change to which a world
If prone”—we are too ant to indulge the unavail
ing regret, that their seasons of usefulness had not
been prolonged to the very latest periods of
human existence. But when youthful g“nius
expires—when the blossom whose opening
beauties just begin to expand, attd promise in lux
uriant abundance the golden fruit of autumn —is
withered and cut down—it is then that sorrow
becomes poignant, and the mind involuntarily
dwells with painful emotion on those hopes of fu
ture promise so lately end so fondly indulged, but
Dow blasted forever. Over the lamented ashes
of Henry Kirke White bow many tears have been
shed ? How often have the enthusiastick admirers
of his juvenile efforts followed him, in imagina
tion, to the close of a long and happy life—wit
nessed the ease and elasticity of his step as he
pursued his way along the paths of literature arid
science, until his feet were triumphantly and per
manently placed upon the summit of that steep,
11 Where fault's proud temple skims afar •”
and marked with what tender and affectionate
concern he gaaed upon that world, which it was
the highest ambition of his heart to illumine and
and instruct. But these expectations were nev
er to be realized. Even at the moment when they
were most dearly cherished, the worm was se
cretly at work in this fondly nurtured “ flower
of promise,” and it perished ere it bad fairly blos
somed.
Os Korner, whose fate is related in the article
below, we know nothing except from the notices
of hit character and writings which are given in
the English magazines; but these, together with
the circumstances of his death, are snffiNent to
interest every redder es taste and feeling. Tho’
few of his productions have as yet been translated
into our language, and these few principally of a
•ts raroatick nature, enough have been given to ex
cite admiration of the genius, and sorrow for the
> fate of a man, who, at the early age of twenty
two years, to use the language of an Edingburgh
reviewer, “ has achieved a variety of worts which
would have done honour to the most mature and
practised genius—in fact, we have had no indi
vidual in.onr country who m this respect can be
brought into competition with him.” UnKke
some of the celebrated poets of the present day,
the morality of his productions is represented as
unexceptionable, and his private character “as
much distinguished for worldly prudence and so
cial virtue, as by the superiority of his genius.”—
But among (he noble qualities of his heart, none
appear to have been more conspicuous than pat
riotism. Devotion to his country seems to have
superseded every other object of action ; and not
withstanding the high and distinguished rank
whifch he held among the literati of Germany, and
the fame which he was every day acquiring with
his pen, he deserted the “ flowery walks” of the
Muses, whose favourite he emphatically was, to
share the dangers and fatigues of the “ tented
field,”in the humblestation of adjutant in a corps
of cavalry. He seems to have devoted himself
to his new profesio;*with all the ardour ofyouth-
fill seal, all tbe steadiness of the veteran, and all’
the fortitude and resignation of a man, who can
confidently appeal to Heaven for support in the
hour of danger and of death. The Prayer, which
he composed during the battle hi which ho felt,
when it might be supposed that metrical compo
sitions Would hardly occnpy the mind of an actor
in so confused and appalling a scene, evinces that
he was actuated by no ordinary motives in taking
op arms ; and that his mind was free from that
vindictive spirit of hatred and revenge to the op-
posing enemy, which no doubt stimulates many
to act with apparent bravery in action, who in
fact possess but little personal courage. Though
the man who is governed by the enthusiasm of
mere military fame, will say that his fate was
** glorious,” that he died as every soldier would
wish to die, 11 in the hot clasp of victory,” it is
certainly a matter of deep regret, even if worldly
Vapour and patriotism are alone considered, that
SiA k stoat KofMr Is npresbnted to be, thduld
have poured forth the warm current of his blood
to no better purpose than has yet appeared.—
There is something, to be sure, degrading in the
idea of foreign domination, even to the subjects
of the most despotick Prince ; and every friend
to national independence must applaud the spirit
of the Prussian people, who flocked around the
standard of their country at the call of their sove
reign, and finally succeeded in breaking down the
power of the French emperour. But the fall of
Bonaparte secured to them none of the blessings
of civil liberty; and a relief from the presence
and exactions of bis armies is the onfy privilege
their blood has bought. Their chains have been
rivetted, if possible, closer than ever; and the
same king of Prussia, who in 1813 could” dis
course most eloquently” of national independence
and the natural rights of men, i:t 1831 has become
an active partner in a crusade against the liberties
of a people who dared to assert the right of self
government. Under these circumstances, the re
gret which the generous mind cannot but feel for
the early fate of the gallant and self-devoted Kor
ner, must be increased by the reflection, that the
liberties of his country were not sealed by his
blood.
“ Fe t&en who pour pour blood forkings as wattr,
“ What hare they given pour children in return?
44 A heritage of servitude and woes,
“ A blindfold bondage where pour hire is blares .”

FROM THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR JANUARY.
Charles Theodore Korner.
Koruer had, for some time, formed the
resolution of becoming a soldier to tight for
the deliverance of Germany : when, there
fore, the Prussian proclamation was issued,
nothing could induce him to abandon his
pnrposi). He left Vienna on the 15th of
March, 1813, strongly recommended to
several distinguished individuals™ the Prus
sian army. At the time of his arrival at
Breslau, Major Von Lutzotv was there,rais
ing the free-corps called after his name.—
At his invitation, many youths and men of
cultivated minds flocked to his head-quar
ters, and Korner added himself to their
number on the 19th of March in the above
year. A few days after his enrolment,
Lutzow’s free corps was solemnly conse
craled, in a village church, not far from
Zobten. The following passage on the
subject, occurs in Komer’s letters :
41 After a hymn bad been sursg (a choral song
which Korner had himself composed,) the minis
ter of the place, Peters byname, delivered an
efiergetick and comprehensive discourse—uoeye
remained uninoistened. After this, he tendered
tp us the oath, that we would spare neither our
blood nor possessions in fighting for the cause of
humanity, of our country, and of our religion,and.
that we would go forward cheerfully to meet vic
tory or death. We swore !—He then sunk upon
his knees, and prayed God to bestow a blessing
. upon his own warriours. By heaven, it was a
moment in which every breast burned with the
desire of a death so hallowed—every heart throb
bed with the devotion of a hero. Thewar-oath,
dictated with gravity, and repeated by all over
tbs swords of the officers, and the hymn, 44 Our
God is a strong hold,” marie am end of this noble
solemnity.”
In his leisure Baura he employed himself
principally in the composition of warlike
song?. He expected much from their mu
sical effect; and several of his pieces re
ceived their metrical form in adaptation to
certain simple and energetick melodies,
with which he had-been particularly taken.
While at Piauen, Major Von Lutzow had
received what be considered official intelli
gence of an armistice. Not expecting to
encounter any impediments, he chose the
shortest road to join the infantry of his corps,
having received from the hostile comman
ders the most positive assurances of the
safety of his attempt; and he marched
without molestation along the highway as
far as Kitzen, a village in the vicinity of
Leipsic. Here he was surprised to find
himself surrounded by a numerous band of
the enemy, who manifested hostile inten
tions. Korner was sent forward to demand
an explanation. Instead, however, of
vouchsafing an answer, one of the leaders
of the opposite party struck at him ; and
the attack was made on all sides in the
twilight, upon three squadrons of Lutzow’s
cavalry, before they had time to draw a
sabre.
The first stroke, which Korner could
not ward off, as he had, in the discharge
of his duty, approached the hostile leader
without drawing his weapon, wounded him
severely in the head; a second which he
received was hut slight. He fell back
ward, but immediately recovered himself,
and his horse conveyed him safely into the
nearest wood. Here he was endeavouring
to bind up his wounds, witli the assistance
of one of his comrades, when he descried a
troop of the pursuing enemy riding up to
wards hiq>. His presence of mind did not
desert him, but he shouted into the depth
of the wood, with a strong voice, “Fourth
squadron advance !” The enemy stopped
short—drew back—and left him time to
bury himself deeper in the thicket.
[After suffering much pain during the night,
he was conducted next morniog by two peasants
whom his friends had sent in search of him, to a
neighbouring village, and afterwards secretly con
veyed to f .eipsic, then in possession of the French,
where the necessary surgical assistance could be
procured, and where he remained undiscovered,
in the house of a friend, until his recovery.]
Ruing completely cured, and equipped
once more, he rejoined his brothers-in
arms. Lutzoiv’s free corps, with the Rus
so-German and Hanseatic legions, and some
English auxiliaries, under General Von
Wallmodeu, were at this time stationed on
the right bank of the Elbe, above Ham
burgh. Davoust, who was quartered in
that city with a considerable force, which
had also received additional re-enforce
ments from the Danes, was threatening all
North Germany. On the 17th of August
hostilities were renewed ; and Lutzow’s
corps, which was employed on the outposts
was almost daily in action. It was in the
bivouack-hut at Buchen, that he begun, on
12
that flay to compose the war eong, “ Men
and Boys ;” which commences with the
words), “ The nation rises, and the storm
breaks forth.”
Major Von Lnt2ow appointed the 28th of
August for an attack which he intended to
make on the rear of the enemy. In the
evening he reached a place where some
provisions had been cooked for the use ot
the French. With these the atroops re
freshed themselves, and then continued
I their march to a forest, not far from Rosen
| berg; there they secreted themselves,
I while waiting for a messenger who was to
l bring information respecting some short
paths leading to a camp of the enemy,
pitched at the distance of one German mile
which was badly defended, and upon which
they meditated an attack. In the meantime
some Cossacks, who were stationed upon
an eminence for the purpose of spying,saw,
about seven o’clock in the morning, a tran
sport of ammunition and provisions ap
proaching, convoyed by two companies of
infantry ; these they resolved to intercept,
and succeeded. Major Von Lutzow order
ed the Cossacks, who consisted of a hun
dred men, to make the attack in front ;
chose one halfsquadron to fall upon the qp
emy in flank, and kept the other half intrc
iive, who were to cover his rear. He him
self led on the party who were to attack
the flanks, Korner, as adjutant, riding be
side him. An hour before this, while they
halted in the forest, Korner composed his
‘ Sword-song,’ the last poem he ever wrote.
In the glimmering dawn of the morning of
the 26th of August, he noted it down in his
pocket-book, and was reading it out to a
friend, when the signal for the onset was
given.
The engagement took place on the road
which jeads from Gadebusch to Schwerin,
□ear a wood, which lies about half a mile
to the west of Rosenberg. The enemy
were more ilumerous than had, been ex
pected ; but fled, after a short resistance,
over a narrow plain into a neighbouring
thicket, as the Cossacks hail not been suffi
ciently expeditious to prevent them.—
Among those who were most brisk in the
pursuit was Korner; and there he met that
glorious death, which he had often antici
pated in his poems with so much animation.
The sharp-shooters, who had formed an
ambush in the underwood, poured from
thencea heavy shower of balls upon the
cavalry who were in pursuit. One of these,
after first passing through his horse’s neck,
hit Korner in the belly, traversed his liver
and spine, and deprived him at once of
speech and consciousness. His features
remained unaltered, and exhibited no traces
of any painful sensation. Nothing was
omitted which could possibly tend to res- !
tore him ; but all was in vain. His friends ’
carefully raised him from the ground. One ,
of those, who, while a continual fire was
directed to this particular point, had has
tened to his assistance, was Friesen ; justly
accounted one of the most brave, high
minded, and accomplished youths, that had
taken part in this warfare. He followed
Korner to the grave bout half a year af
ter. The combat, which, after this uni
versal loss, was carried on in the most infu
riate manner, was soon over. Lutzow’s
cavalry bore down upon the enemy, who
were among the brush-wood; and those
who could not effect their escape, were
shot, cut down or taken prisoners. The
victims of this day’ conflict merited a suit
able interment; these were, in addition to
Korner, Count Hardenberg, a promising j
and very prepossessing young man, and one
of Lutzovv’s yagers. The mortal remains
of the three fallen heroes were laid upon
wagons, and conducted along together
with the prisoners, with that which is de
nominated the transport column.”
Korner was interred under an oak, near
a mile stone, situate upon the way which
leads from Lubelow to Dreikrug. He was
consigned lj> the earth by his brothers-in
arms, with the honours of war. Among
the friends who joined to spread the
turf upon his grave was Von Barenhorst, a
noble youth, of the most varied accomplish
ments ; a few days after,Tie was allotted a
dangerous post at .the battle on the
Gobrde. With the words,* 4 Korner, I fol
low thee !” he rushed npon the enemy, and
fell pierced by many balls.
The ground contiguous to the oak, to
gether with a circular space which sur
rounds it, was presented to Korner’s father
by a German prince. The grave is en
compassed by a wall, is planted, and distin
guished by a monument of cast iron. There:
also repose the mortal remains of the sister
of the deceased, Emma Sophia Louisa z a
silent grief for the loss of her beloved bro
ther consumed her vital powers,and allow
ed her only life sufficient for finishing a
portrait of him, and making a drawing of his
grave.
Korner was born at Dresden on the 23d
Sept. 1791.

From the London Morning Chronicle , March 29.
A curious scene lately took place at
Rome during the carnival, nla dinner given
by cardinal Gonsalvi. The Austrian am
bassador gave an entertainment, to which
were invited most of the respectable Eng
lish, all of whom, almost to a man, refused
the invitation. A few days afler, Gonsalvi,
to make up the breach, gave a grand din
ner, at which were present the said Austri
an ambassador, and several English ; during
the repast, an Englishman of distinction fil
led a bumper, arose, and gave in a loud
voice, 44 success to the Neapolitans, nnd the
cause of liberty all over the world;” in
which he was joined by most of the English
present; the ambassador was thunder
struck, the wily cardinal confounded, some
of the guests alarmed, but the greater num
ber scarcely able to surpress their inward
satisfaction. . The remainder of the repast
was hurried over in silence and consterna
tion by the ambassador, the cardinal, and
other adherents; and the English guests
and their host separated rather in dudgeon.
From Hogg's Jacobite Relicks of Scotland.
In the rising of 1745, n party of Cumber
land’s dragoons was hurrying through
Nithsdale in search of rebels. Hungry
nnd fatigued, they called at a lone widow’s
house, and demanded refreshment. Her
son a lad of sixteen, dressed them up long
kale and butter , und the good woman brought
new milk, which she told them was all her
stock. One of the party inquired with
seeming kindness how she lived. ‘lndeed,’
quoth she, 4 the cow and the kale yard, wi’
God’s blessing’s a’ my mallen.’ He arose,
and with his sabre killed the cow, and de
stroyed all the kale yard. The p<y>r wo
man was thrown upon the world, and died
of a broken heart: the disconsolate youth
her son, wandered away beyond the inqui
ry of friends or the search of compassion.
In the continental war, when the British
army had gained a great and signal victory,
the soldiery were making merry with wine,
and recountirg their exploits. A dragoon
roared out, 4 1 once starved a Scotch witch
in Nithsdale. I killed her cow, and de
stroyed her greens;’ but, added he, she
could live for all that on her God as she
said !’ 4 And don’t you rue it ?’ cried a
young soldier, starting up, 4 don’t you rue
; it!’ 4 Rue what!’ said he, 4 Rue aught like
i that V 4 Then, by my God,’ cried the youth,
• unsheathing his sword, 4 that woman was
I my mother! Draw, you brutal villain,
draw.’ They fought; the youth passed
! his sword twice through the dragoon's
I body, and, while he turned him over in
i throes of death, exclaimed. 4 had you rued it ,
i you should have only been punished by your
Why the Negro bears heat better than the White
man ?
This is a phenomenon which has given rise to
considerable discussion. The fact is undoubted
—and what has made it more surprising is the fact,
that black surface exposed to the sun’s rays reflect
more heat than white surface; as is evinced by
Dr. Franklin’s famous experiment of different col
oured clothes being spread on the snow. The
black would sink Into the snow, while the white
would scarcely dissolve any of it.
Sir Everard Home has presented a paper to the
Royal Society of London, giving certain experi
ments on the matter. Expose the back of your
hand to the sun’s rays—if the hand be covered
with thin white linen, it becomes irritated and in
flamed—freckles first appear, and these are fol
lowed by a vesicular separation of the cuticle.
Cover the hand, however, with black crape, and
though the temperature of the skin exceeds that
produced upon the bare skin, yet there is no
scorching or blistering of the hand. It thus ap
pears, says Sir Everard, that the deleterious ef
fects of the sun’s rays are prevented by an artifi
cial blackening of the surface of the skin : the per
spiration becomes more copious, as is especially
remarked in the negro—and in short, that the
conversion of the radiant matter of the sub into
sensible heat, which conversion is effected by the
black surface, tends to prevent the/scorching
effects, and to promote the cuticular secretion.
It is, in fact, because a greater perspiration is in
some way or other produced by the influence of
the black substance in the skin of the negro, and
because when this perspiration evaporates, it car
ries with it as in all othrr cases of evaporation,
the calorick or heat, that the black man is so
much better able to stand heat. This is also the
principal cause of the strong effluvium which dis
tinguishes the race. [Richmond Comp.
Fanaticism. —The inhabitants of Barningham,
Yorkshire, were much annoyed, on Sunday even
ing, by the most hideous screams and horrid yells.
These discordant sounds were found to proceed
from a room where a party of religious fanaticks
had assembled for the purpose of dislodging his
Satanick Majesty, who had, most unwarrantably,
taken possession of one of their sect. The facts
are these* A pauper, who had been formerly
connected with these maniacks, but who had, of
late, absented himself from their meetings, deter
mined to join them again. He accordingly made
application to be re-admitted ; and at the same
time, accounted for his absence by declaring him
self to be under the influence of the Devil. This
confession was a sufficient hint; the elders were
immediately summoned, and the poor renegade*
was doomed to undergo the most severe penance.
The heads of the society obliged their willing
victim to kneel upon the floor. In this position
he was firmly held, while their chief priest with
his clenched fist, struck him three rather weighty
■blows, #n the pericranium, at the same time ex
claiming, “This is God’s hammer—Devil come
ont!” The poor fellow was then assailed on all
sides by those around him, who with savage yells
and frightful gestures, made a determined attack
upon the carcase, which they believed to contain
the infernal foe. Aftfcr dealing their blows with
great liberality for a considerable time, a truce
dook place ; but the man not satisfied with the
pommelling he had received, complained that
! ‘ke Devil had not yet left him, and he still felt
him at his right side. On this being announced,
the sharp elbow of a female made a dreadful
plunge to his heart’s Content—he declared his de
liverance. One of the sect was then appointed
to watch him for three days, that the Devil might
not re-enter, and the meeting broke up. The
aw.st extravagant expression* were uttered during
i the performance of this impious cCtt mouj ; and
1 a deliberate debate took place as to- what they
: should make ol the arch fiend when seutired. It
was at length agreed, that he shot)#* Ho cast
into a stone quarry. We understand, however,
he eluded the vigilance of his assailants, although
a woman gruvely declared, that she had hina by
the tail, but that he slipped from her.
