POETRY. LINES, Written in the Churchyard of Richmond, Eng. October 7,1816, by Herbert Knowles, who di ed Feb. 17. 1817, aged nineteen years. “It it good for tit to bt here. If thou wilt, let ttt make here three tabemaclet; one for Thee, and oneforMotet , and one for Elias.” Mat. xvii. 4. Methinks it is good to be her#: If thou wilt, let us build—but for whom ? Nor Elias, nor Moses appear. But the shadows of eve, th%t encompass the gloom, The abode of the dead, and the place of the tomb 1 Shall we build to Ambition ? Oh, no 1 Affrighted, he shrinketh away ; For see ! they would pin him below, To a small narrow cave, and begirt with cold clay, To the meanest of reptiles a peer aud a prey. To Beauty? Ah, no!—She forgets The charms which she wielded before— Nor knows the foul worm, that he frets The skin which but yesterday fools could adore, For the smoothness it held, or the tint which it wore. Shall we build to the purple of Pride, The trappings which dizen the proud ? Alas.’ they are are all laid aside— And here's neither dress nor adornment allowed, But the long winding-sheet and the fringe of the shroud ! - To Riches ? Alas, ’(is in vain ! Who hid, in their turns have heen hid : The treasures are squander’d again— And here in the grave are all metals forbid. But the tinsel that shone on the dark coffin lid. To the pleasures which Mirth can afford— The revel, the laugh and the jeer? Ah ! here is a plentiful board ! But the guests are all mute as their pitiful cheer, And none but the worm is a reveller here ! Shall we build to Affection and Love i Ah, no! they have wither'd and died, Orfled with the spirit above— Friends, brothers and sisters are laid side by side, ] Yet none have saluted, and none have replied. Unto Sorrow ? The dead cannot grieve ; Not a sob, not a sigh meets mine ear, Which compassion itself could relieve ! Ah ! sweetly they slumber, nor hope, love, or fear ! Peace, peace is the watchword, the only one here ! Unto Death, to whom monarchs must bow ? Ah, no ! for his empire is known, And here there are trophies enow ! Beneath—the cold dead ; and around, the dark stone, Are the signs of a sceptre that none tray disown ! The first tabernacle to Hope we will build, And look for the sleepers around us to rise ! The second to Faith, which ensures it fulfill’d— And the third to the Lamb of the great sacrifice, Who bequeath’d us them both when he rose to the skies 1 MISCELLANY. FROM THE SF.W-TOH.E SPECTATOR. MODERN GREECE. Athens, from the crowd of recollections which rush upon the mind whenever the name is mentioned, can never cease to he a place of interest tcfthe traveller; and when wandering amid its still splendid ruins-, this interest must be felt with increased intensi ty. Who could survey the ruins of the Pantheon, that beautiful master-piece of the great architects of antiquity, or tread the theatre, (he seat of ancient eloquence, and where Paul boldly confronted the Athe nians ; or view the other vestiges of human grandeur, while surrounded by the ashes of the many illustrious dead, whose names and deeds continue to brighten the pages of history, without feelings of deep emotion. Yet Athens in other respects has dwindled tin ■ h tie into insignificance. Thebes, like the other principal cities of Greece, is placed nearly in the centre of a circular plain, like an enormous crater, surrounded by steep and lofty hills. Not withstanding all its misfortunes, it yet re tains, in the vestiges of its gates, and it prodigious rampart, many proofs of ancient grandeur. Its inhabitants amount to three hundred families, within the walls, be'ide* very extensive suburbs. The agricultural population consists Entirely of Albanians, whose honesty, hospitality and cleanliness are cpmmended by Dr. Clarke. Toligion, in Greece, as it may well he supposed, is at a low ebb. All Ihe Greek population, with the exception of some ot thd Albanians, those, chiefly, who have en listed in the service of Ali Pacha, are Christians. The purity of Christianity, however, has been sullied, and its simplicity disfigured by the multitude of pagan super stitions, which inveterate prejudices have engrafted upon its rites. A Greek of some education, when speaking to Dr. Clarke of the snowy ridge of Parnassus, to which the eyes of the latter and his company were constantly attracted, observed in Ita lian: 4 lt is there that the old gods have resideu ever since they were driven from the plains.’ He spoke gravely, and, ob serving a smile on the countenances of his j hearers, added, by way of reproof— 4 They j did strange things in this country;—those old gods are not fit subjects for laughter.” It would, perhaps, be too much to expect | that a people who had consecrated every spot of their country, should at once aban don those sacred haunts, endeared by so many recollections of ancient glory. It was quite natural in the early age* of Chris _ tianity, that churches should arise out of the ruins of heathen temples, and that painted saints should usurp the place of sculptured gods; that the hills, the groves, the fountains and caverns should each pos sess its little church ; and, in fact, many of them are at this day places of superstitious resort, where, on certain occasions, votive offerings to the protecting saints are care fully deposited, to deprecate some threat ened evil, or secure some expected good. ■ln this respect the. modern Greeks are j nothing changed. Such as their religion I iso, they scrupulously adhere to its estab ! lished rite. 9. A Greek of the present day, say's a late traveller, “is generally engag ’ e‘d either in a festival or a fast; and the : crowd I once saw roasting two hundred sheep in the open air, round the citadel of Zante, might have led me to fancy that Ju piter, and not the Virgin, was the patron of the day.” The number of feasts and festi vals consumes three fourths of the year; and the clergy are numerous, poor, and ig norant. The monks swarm in (be. monas teries and the parish priests in every vil lage. They have no higher education than that of writing the Romaick or vulgar language, except that they are taught to repeat, without understanding it. the Church Liturgy in the Hellenick or ancient Greek. Some of the monasteries are rich ; but they have heen doubtless overrated, as the rapacity of the Turks would not sutfer them to content themselves with a tax of one thousand dollars when they could ob tain more. Each convent has its abbot, with a number of monks and lay labourers, xvho plant vineyards, make wine, raise fruits and vegetables, Szc. The convent at mount Allies contains about 6000 male inhabitants; hut no female is permitted to enter the holy precincts. Even the Turkish Vaivoyde, stationed on the isthmus to collect the taxes. is not allowed to bring his harem uifli him. Not only are the women excluded, but the finale of every animal, as the monks gravely assert that no female animal could exist three days cn the holy ground; and this too, while the turtle doves are cooing around them, the birds building their nests on the trees, the swallows hatching their young under the roofs, and vermin multiplying their species in the dirty cells, and on the persons of the monks them selves. These monks employ themselves in knitting stockings, making oils and es sences, painting rude pictures of their’ Mints, or writing on psalters, which they exchange for coffee, sugar, snuff, tobacco, i cordials, &c. An old bachelor is rarely found in j Greece ; yet. with a strange inconsistency, i no country is so infested with monks, who always incur disgrace by marriage. Among i the villagers, marriage is contracted as i among Europeans from mutual knowledge j and attachment; but in towns and among the higher orders, the match is generally made up by the parents and friends, with out the parties seeing each other; or by some matrons or go-between who manages the courtship and concludes the treaty. The young couple are then at liberty to see each other and converse freely togeth er. Sometimes, however, the first glimpse which the bridegroom is permitted to take of his future wife, is on the day of mar riage. One of the chief occupations of the bride is lhat ofworktniy her wedding gar ments. These being finished on the eve of the day appointed for her marriage, she is conducted by her young female friends, in splendid procession to the bath. The following morning, at an early hour, the bridegroom proceeds to the house of her parents, attended by a crowd of young men, singing ami dancing and bawling out the perfections and virtues of the young cou ple. The bride is led forth loaded with bracelets and necklaces, and, supported by her father and her bridemaid, slowly moves along with measured steps and downcast eyes; as she proceeds, showers of nuts, and cakes, and nosegays, are poured out of the windows of her friends, with prayers and wishes for her prosperity. The moth er and the mafro.ns close the procession. The marriage ceremony consists of much mummery and little solemnity. On the heads of the bride and bridegroom, the priest places alternately, chaplets or crowns of flowers, among which, if they j are to be had, are lilies and ears of corn— ! emblems of purity’ and abundance—two i rings of gold or silver are interchanged 1 several times between the parties, and the ceremony concludes by their drinking wine ; out of the same cup. Among the peasants,’ the bride, accompanied by her bride-1 maids, and husband’s relations, goes from hoi'se to house, and receives from each : male inhabitant a few piastres. In some ! places they collect them before marriage, and string them upon the braids of their! hair. At a village called Mazeck, Mr. Hobhouse entered into conveisation with some peasant girls ; ‘ that told us,’ he says, ‘ that the males were scarce in that part of the country, and that therefore, contrary to common custom, no woman could get married without bringing about a thousand piastres to her husband. Accordingly sev eral whom he saw, were collecting their portion on their hair; and ihe tresses ofa pretty young girl among them hung down nearly to her feet, entirely strung with piastres from lop to bottom. Yet, though in a starving condition, and passing, as they assured us with tears in their eyes, whole days without food, neither the mothers nor the daughters will strip off the ornamental coin which has been assigned for the por tion money.’ Most of the ancient funeral cqremonioc, | expressive of veneration for the dead, are i still preserved among the modern Greeks, t The deceased is dressed in his best apparel, covered with a garland of flowers, and car ried in procession to the grave, at the head of which are hired mourners, uttering such howls as are heard on like occasions among the lower orders oflreland. The relations of thg deceased, at certain periode, plant or 20 strew flowers on the grave ; and at partic ular seasons groups of women may he seen sitting upon the giaves ot some relation, covering it with flowers, and watering those that have taken root. Nor are flowers the only offerings placed by the simple piety of the Greek women upon the tomb. Takes made of honey, flour, and oil, a pud ding formed of boiled wheat, honey and al monds, are still given as a propitiatory re past of Cerberus. The Greeks, like their ancestors, per sonify the plague. They represent it un der the figure of an old woman, clothed in black, w ho, from her lips, breathes a mor tal poison during the night on every house which she happens to pass. But they have the happiness of possessing amulets and charms, against every misfortune that hap pens to them. If these fail, they do not doubt the virtue, hut attribute it to the want j of some necessary precautions. The female peasantry, as in other Euro- j pean countries, are exposed to labour on the land, frequently with a child fastened ; on their back. In going from place to place, | says Dr. Hunt, they not only carry their j infants in this manner, but have often a lot-, ly jar, or pitcher on their heads, and a rock; or spindle in their hands, with which they j spin as they walk ; yet there is in their ap pearance a degree of elegance and beauty not commonly to be met without Greece. | Their profiles resemble those of the an- j cient statues, or of the figures represented j on vases. But amid all their oppressions, not an evening passes in the summer months, in which the young people of both sexes, of the islands and continental villages, do not assemble near some favourite fountain or grove, adorned with garlands and flowers, and their hair loosely floating on their neck, to indulge in the favourite Romaics, orcir-’ cular dance ; which,lively,cbhngelul,grace- ful, is well fitted to display the beauty of at- j tilude in the human form. —These and oth-J er scenes of gaiety, however, are but little; enjoyed by the females of the towns, except perhaps, at Athens, where the state of so- j ciety is distinguished from that of other; parts of Greece, by its greater vivacity and freedom from restraint, owing in part to the feebleness of the Turkish government. THE LAST DAYS OF HERCULANEUM. In examining some late foreign papers, (says the New York Columbian) we met with the fol lowing sublime description of the overwhelming of Herculaneum and Pompeii, by an eruption of Vesuvius. It is taken from a review, in Baldwin’s London Magazine, of a Poem on the “ last days of Herculaneum,” by Mr. Atherstone. Our readers will pronounce it one of the most beauti ful pieces of descriptive eloquence they have ev er seen. “ A great city—situated amidst all that nature could create of beauty and profu sion ; or art collect of science and magni ficence—the growth of many ages—the residence of enlightened multitudes—the scene of splendour aud festivity and happi ness—in one moment withered as by a spell—its palaces, its streets, its temples, its gardens glowing with eternal spring, and its inhabitants in the full enjoyment of all life’s blessings, obliterated from their very place in creation, not by war, or fam ine, or disease, or any of the natural causes of destruction to which earth had heen ac customed—but in a single night, as if by magick, and amid the conflagration, as it were, of nature itself, presented a subject on which the wildest imagination might grow weary without equalling the grand and terrible reality. The eruption of Ve suvius, by which Herculaneum and Pompeii were overwhelmed, has been chiefly des cribed to us in the letters of Pliny the younger to Tacitus, giving an account of his uncle’s fate, and the situation of the wri ter and his mother. The elder Pliny had just returned from the bath, and was retired i to his study, when a small speck or cloud ! which seemed to ascend from Mount Ve : suvius attracted his attention. This cloud : gradually increased, and at length assumed | the shape of a pine tree —thfe trunk, of ! earth and vapour, and the leaves ‘ red cin j ders.’ Pliny ordered his galjey, and, urged j by his philosophick spirit, went forward to ; inspect the phenomenon. In a short time j however, philosophy gave way to humani | ty, and he zealously and adventurously em- I ployed his galley in saving the inhabitants 1 of the various beautiful villas, which stud -1 ded that enchanting coast. Amongst others . he went out to the assistance of his friend Pomponianus, who was then at Stabiae. I The storm of fire and the tempest of the I earth increased—and the wretched inhabi tants were obliged, by the continual rocking j of their houses, to rush out into the fields | with pillows tied down by napkins upon | ! their heads, as their sole defence against the shower of stones which fell on them. This, in the course of nature, happened in the middle of the day—but a deeper dark ness than that of a winter night had closed around the ill-fated inmates of Herculane um. This artificial darkness continued for three days and nights, and when, at length, the sun again appeared over the spot where [ Herculaneum stood, his rays fell upon the ocean of lava ! There was neither tree nor | shrub, nor field, nor house, nor living crea ture ; nor visible remnant of what human i hands had reared—there was nothing to be seen but one black, extended surface, still steaming with mephitick vapour, and heav- j ed into calcined waves by (he operation of, fire, and the undulations of the earthquake ! Pliny was found dead upon the seashore, stretched upon a cloth which had been spread for him, where it was conjectured he had perished early, his corpulent and apoplectick habit rendering him an easy prey to the suffocating atmosphere.” “ He who would be rich in one year, is hanged at ix months’ end.” Therefore work steady, and remember that “ three things only are well done in haste, viz—flying from the piaeGc ; es caping from quarrels; and catching fleW” From the Charleston Courier. A PEF.P AT THE NEW EL DORADO. jt Utter to the Editors, Blakely, MuyJ. I promised to write you on *y_ return from Pensacola, turn much pleased with’the place , the harbour is one of the most magnificent m the world, and the air is delightfully pure. the soil is licht, but 1 think better than that of Jersey, or the vicinity of Annapolis. H requires manuring, and then produces the upland rice, and barley or oats. But the fig and the grape succeed here much better than on the Mississippi. Cardens are made with very little pains, and produce we . A delightful spring large enough to turn a null, flaws directly through the town. lam convinced Pensacola must be a great town ; at present it is n miserable place, the houses are nearly all in ru ins,hut from the sudden influx which it is supposed will take place, every species of speculation has commenced, by which the prices or property and rent have become very high, and I fear will in jure the place. The present population is said to ‘be fifteen hundred, which probably exceeds that of all West Florida. Capital can be employed here to advantage, and all kinds of mechanicks are much wanted. There is a superabundance of office expectants, and of adventurers of all kinds, whose situations I fear, will be no belter there than any where else. There are already seven lawyers, who seem determined to take the start of some dozen or two more who are on the way. When the town and country grow, there may be business for four or five of the best among them, and a few of (he worst, but the middle class will inevitably starve. There will be no courts until the organization of the territorial governments, which will be the next winter. I think more favourably of the pine lands than some of my friends. Where it is cow-f ‘lined, as it is called, that is, slightly manured, it produces rice, thirty or forty bushels to the acre, and bar ky from sixty to eighty. What is remarkable, 1 observe that in those places where the pines were cleared, the oak, the buck-eye aud the dogwood spring up. No fair experiment has been made of this soil. In the neighbourhood of Pensacola it i? better than in any place 1 have seen, being mix ed with shells. The people of Pensacola are very impatient for the change ; but this will not take place until the arrival of the Hornet, which is daily expected.— Gen. Jackson is extremely popular among them, which I did not expect to find the case : but tlie reasons which they gave me are very sufficient. They say he is a man of energy, and scrupulous ly just. I had been informed that he was an ex tensive owner of property here, but I find that he does not own a single foot, and that he is engag ed in none of the purchases which have heen made by others. Large purchases have been made by a gentleman of the same name in Ten nessee, but no connexion of Ins. P. S. Four more lawyers have arrived since the above was written. Poor fellows ! LIEUT. TRIPPE. We understand that the sword which the late gallant Lieutenant Trippe wrested from the com mander of a Tripolitan vessel which he boarded, in the affair off Tripoli in 1804, has been received from one of bis friends, and been deposited among the trophies of the Navy Department. Lieut. Trippe, it will be remembered, jumped on board the Tripolitan, followed by Midshipman John D. Henly, (now commander of the frigate Congress,) and nine men, after which his gun boat fell off, leaving him exposed to the attacks of thirty-six Tripolitans. “ Though at first,” says the historian,” the victory seemed doubtful,yet in a few minutes the Tripolitans were subdued.— Fourteen of them were killed, and twenty two taken prisoners, seven of the latter severely wounded. Lieut. Trippe received eleven sabre, wounds, some of them dangerous. The blade of his sword bending, he closed with his antagonist, and both fell. In the struggle, Lieut. Trippe wrested the sword from him and stabbed him to the heart.” It is gratifying to know, that this memorial of one of the most gallant actions and gallant spirits of our early little Navy, is placed where we hope it will long be preserved. Nat. Intel. THU. AFRICAN COLONY. We have been favoured with the perusal of two letters from Collin Teague and Lott Cary, two of the coloured men from this place, who went out in the Nautilus to Africa, from which we make the following extracts, believing they will be in teresting to most of our readers. Norfolk paper. Sierra Leone, April 18, 1821. Dear Brother—With great pleasure and regard I write you first to inform you that I and my fam ily are enjoying good health. We were all very sick on the passage, but thank God we have all recovered. We left Hampton Roads the 23d of January, and after the 45th day of our sail we made land, which was the Bth day of March.— You may judge the joy that land gave ns. We arrived in the harbour about five o’clock and ear ly the next morning we went to the market, and there we-saw fish, oysters, beef, shoal mutton, pine-apples, oranges, plantains, cassado, bana nas, and all kinds of fruit—and you may depend we had a great feast. We laid at thisplace un til the 29th of March ; we then removed about two miles higher up the river, where we are at this present time. On our arrival at Sierra Le one, we foundMr. Coker there, and had not heen to see about land or people, and of course there was no land for us. The place that we are now at is rented by our agents for one thousand and sixty dollars per year. We expect to live here until ground is bought. Dear Brother, I find that Africa produces every thing to make one happy. 1 have seen tobacco as high as I am, and cotton in abundance. 1 have seen the coffee grow to its natural size ; in short, every thing grows spontaneous. We ate water-melons and corn, the second day after our arrival. O that the Lord inaj be with ns. There much to do for this degraded paradise ; and may the Lord speed the time. I have never experienced warm er weather in Africa than I did in Richmond ; the warmest is from ten to three o’clock. Dear Brother, 1 say again, that Africa will pro duce every thing to make us happy. I am happy that ! am in it. COLLIN TEAGUE. Free Town , Africa, April 17, 1821. Very Dfar Brother —I am glad that an oppor tunity is allowed me, to transmit to yon a few lines, which will inform you that we have, all ar rived safe to the shores of Africa, after a long pas sage of 44 days, and we lost none but one, and that was a child of Mrs. Coker, not n year old, and it had been ill some time previous to her leaving Baltimore. We had a longer passage than common, and much sea sickness, for some of our people were sick nearly the whole passage ; but God is good, and has landed us safe to our desir ed port. We have arrived to a land which 1 belieVe to be the best calculated to feast its inhabitants,'of all others that ever 1 saw or read of, the garden of Eden excepted. If 1 was to say, that it is a land ! flowing witli wine and oil, my language would not be too strong to express my idea of this country, lor here the mountains are covered with palm trees, and this tree is good to eat, to drinlt, to burn and to wear ; the people go on the mountains and tap the tree, and draw thin wine money and without price ; and while they are . on the tree, cut off the nuts, which are in bunches !as large as a man’s head, and from the shells of | those nuts they extract an oil which they use I with rice, and for frying fish, &c. and then they cranrWe nut and get out of the kernel a finer oil which they use as butler and shortening, and, then they cut the tree down, anil get the heart, and use that for cabbage ; and of the leaves they make as good fishing lines, and lines fur other use as you would wish to see,and then the tree is good to burn. Now ask the whole United States to produce such a tree. LOTT CARY. To take Mildew out of Linen. —Take soap and rub it well, then scrape some fine chalk, and rub that also in the linen ; lay it on the grass ; as it drys, wet it a little, and it will come out at twice doing.
