POETRY. SONNET. Imitated from the Italian of Oiambattuta Cotta • 1 saw the Eternal God in robes of light. Rise from his throne—to judgment forth He come; His presence pass’d before me like the dame That fires the forest in the depth of night; Whirlwind and storm, amazement and affright, Compass’d his path, and shook all nature's frame, When from the heaven of heavens, with loud ac claim, To earth He wing'd his instantaneous flight. As some triumphal oak,whose bows have spread Their changing foliage through a thousand years, Bows to the rushing wind its glorious bead, The universal arch of yonder spheres Sunk with the pressure of its Maker’s tread, And earth’s foundations quaked with mortal fears. MOXTGOMBRY. MISCELLANY. NATURAL HISTORY. THE WHITE BEAR. From WKeevor’s Voyage to Hudson’s Bay. “ While sailing through the straggling he, one of the men on the quarter deck ob served, at a few yards distant, a silver bear,! and her two young cabs. The captain im mediately ordered the jolly-boat to be low ered, and muskets, pistols, cutlasses, &c. to be got in readiness. All things being pre pared, Mr. Fidler, Mr. Cockwell, the first mate, with one or two more, set out in pur- j suit of them. We were all leaning over ! the deck, waiting with the greatest anxie ty for the interesting scene that we expect ed to witness. They had not got many yards from the vessel, when 1 beheld a very affecting sight. The mother, observing their approach, and aware of their inten tion, set up a most doleful cry, and present ly clasped her two young one's within her fore paws. First she would look at one, then at the other, and again resume her piteous cry. Perceiving themeo approach still nearer,she got them on her back, and dived undeT water to a considerable dis tance : when exhausted, she made to the ice for shelter. This she did several suc cessive times. The gentlemen who went out for the purpose of shooting her, were so justly affected at the sight, that they hu manely returned to the ship without dis charging their muskets. Still, however, the bear apprehended danger. After get ting on a detached piece of ice, ehe again clasped her young ones with the greatest tenderness,and continued her heart-melting cries. In about ten minotes, another party, Dot subject to the same correct sensibility as the former, went in pursuit of her.— Immediately on observing this, she again took her young oa her back; one time get ting under water; at another, escaping to the ice for refuge. When the party had got within a short distance of her, they all fired. The mother, however, had covered her young cubs so effectually, that she alone was wounded, one of the balls enter ing her chest. The 9cene that followed was, if possible, still more affecting than that we had already witnessed. Though mortally wounded, she retained within her fond embraces her tender young. It looked as though the iron grasp of death could not tear asunder those ties of affec tion which bound her to them. Still she would fondly gaze at the one, then at the other, occasionally renewing her piteons cries which had now become much more feeble. But the purple current of life was ebbing fast through the wound ; her sides heaved—her eye became glassy and dim— she looked at her young ones—gave a con vulsive sob—laid down her head and ex pired ! After this they had no difficulty in taking the young cubs. They in vain, however, endeavoured to loose them from their pa rent’s embraces. Even while dragging her np the side of the vessel they still kept their hold. When they had got her on board she was immediately skinned ; when the skin was removed they put it into the cage which had been prepared for the young cubs. As they roared most hideous ly from the time they were torn from the mother, we were in hopes that this might pacify them ; and it did so ; it was no soon er introduced than they lard their heads down upon it, and growled in a very affect ing manner; when any one attempted to touch it they roared very loud, and appear ed much more irritable than usual. They were brought home and sold in London at a very high price. When detached from its young, how very different is the character of the polar bear from that l have just described ? It is then a most formidable animal, being apparently the natural lord of th>se frozen regions.— Every other animal shudders at his ap proach, considering it as the signal for im mediate The seals either re tire to their submarine, dwellings, or con ceal themselves in the fcrevices of the ice islands, while the bear, stalking along with solemn majesty, faces the breeze, raises his head,and snuffs the passing scent,where by he discovers the Dearest route to his odorous banquet. A favourite poet, with great truth and beauty, thus describes the march of this formidable animal: There, through the piny forest, half absorb'd, Rough tenant of those shades, the shapeless bear, With dangling ice, all horrid, stalks forlorn, Slow paced, and sourer as the storms increase, He makes bis bed beneath the inclement drift, And with stern patience,scorning weak complaint, Hardens bis heart against assailiDg want. They are possessed of such uncommon strength, and defend themselves when be set, with such extraordinary obstinacy, that even the natives of the country never ven ture to attack them but in parties of eight or ten, and. even then are often defeated J with the less of one or more of their num-; her. Though to a skilful rifleman the I ! danger is much diminished, the bear’ is still an animal of tremendous strength and 1 fierceness, as will appear from the fotlow , ing adventure : Capt. Lewis tells us, that i one evening the men in the hindermost of i the canoe 9 discovered a large silver bear, lying in the open grounds about 300 paces ! from the river. Six of them, all good < hunters, set out to attack him, and conceal- i ing themselves by a small eminence, came unperceived within forty paces of him. — Four of them now fired, and each lodged a ball in his body, two of them directly thro’ the lungs. The justly enraged animal sprung up, and ran open mouthed at them. As he came near, the two hunters who had reserved their fire gave him two wounds, one of which, breaking his shoulder, re tarded his motion for a moment; but be fore they could re-load he was so near that they were obliged to ruu to the river, and before they reached it he had almost over taken them. Two jumped into the canoe, the other four separated, and concealing themselves in the willows, tired as fast as each could load. They struck him sev eral times, but they only exasperated him, and he at last pursued two of them so closely, that they jumped down a perpen dicular bank of 20 feet into the river ; the bear sprang after them, and was within a few paces from the hindmost, when one of : the hunters on shore shot him in the head and killed him. They dragged him on shore, and found that eight balls had passed through his body in different directions.— Frequently they attack, and even attempt to board armed vessels at a great distance | from the shore, and arc sometimes repelled I with difficulty. While on land, they prey pn foxes, hares, martins, and young birds; they also eat various kinds ofberries,which they may chance to find while ranging through the trackless desert. During these excursions they not unfrequently enter the habitations oflhe natives and carry off one of the party. Mr. Howes, one of the in land governours, mentioned to me, that one evening he. and*'his companions were silting in their wigwam, enjoying a social hour after a hard day's hunting, when, on a sud den, they found one of their party to disap pear. A white bpar had, in fact, carried him offhy the skirt of his coat. They all immediately sallied out in pursuit of him, which, when the bear observed, he instant ly dropped his prey, and made off into the woods. It is said that the best mode of re- • pelling them on these occasions is by the smell of burnt feathers. During the sum mer months, being allured by the scent of the carcasses of whales, seals, &c they venture out on the ice. They have been seen on those islands at the distance of more ‘ than eighty miles from land, preying and; feeding as they float along. During the j winter they retire and immerse themselves J deep beneath the snow, where they pass . the long and dreary arctick winter, and do: not again appear until the return of spring, i The whole animal is white, except on the point of the nose and the claws, which are of a deep black colour; the ears are small and sharp, and Ihe eye small and of a deep jet black; the hair is of a great length, and the limbs are of an enormous size, and of a very unseemly shape. I tast ed the flesh of the one we killed, and think it by do means bad eating. It had, howev er, a fishy taste. The paw, when dried and smoked, is considered a delicious mor sel. Among the Chinese, the flesh is con sidered as one of the greatest rarities, inso much that, as Du Haldy informs us, the era perour will send fifty or a hundred leagues into Tartary to procure them for a great entertainment. At the approach of winter they become extremely fat; 100 pounds have been taken from a single beast at this time of the year. Their skins are used for a variety of purposes. By the Esqui menux they are used for the purpose of making boots, shoes, and other articles of dress. In this country they are sold prin cipally for covers of coach-boxes. The length of one whose history I have related, measured thirteen feet The tendons, when split, are used by the Esquimeaux as a substitute for thread ; for which purpose, if we might judge by the neatness of their workmanship, it answers admirably. They appear to be confined to the coldest part of our globe, being found as far north as any navigators have yet been able to penetrate. Sketches of Society in South America. Extracted from a “ Narrative of the Proceedings in Venezuela, in the years 1819 and 1820. By George Lovel Chesterton, late Captain and Judge Advocate of the British Legion, raised for the Republick of Venezuela.” “There is no distinction between mis tresses and married women; each mixing together. Neither is the company of wo men, whose characters are notoriously bad, at all shunned (of which I -could mention several examples;) but they are as well re ceived, even at balls, or parties of any de scription, as though they were without blemish. Infidelity to the marriage bed is considered as a mere bagatelle. “ The natives of all descriptions are much addicted to theft; so much so, that it is al ways necessary to keep the strictest eye upon what you have. When parties have been given by foreigners, they have gener ally found their silver spoons, forks, &c. reduced in number; and on one occasion, after a ball given by an English merchant at Aogostura, a Patriot Colonel was detect ed by a servant in the act of carrying away a bottle of brandy, with which he had al ready descended the stairs. * * * * “In the journey, which I had made through a great portion of the Province of Caraccas, having visited some of the most considerable towns in Venezuela, I had constant opportunities of conversing with the inhabitants, and of judging of their sen timents—which I never neglected doing.— j The result of these observations has been, j a conviction that a greater part of the na- I fives of the epuntry are averse to Indepen 32 dence, at least under its present advocates. They are constantly designated marauders and murderers, and their so olten repeated threat of inarching to Caraccas, was ridi culed.” It is not improbable that the Englishman from whose work the foregoing is extract ed may have exaggerated and caricatured some of the traits of moral depravity pour trayed in his sketches. But if his pictures have only a faint resemblance ot the origin als—still if there is any likeness at all, our government are justifiable in the policy they have pursued in not taking an active part in favour of the South American insur gents. It is seriously to be doubted wheth er any good purpose could be effected by foreigners intermeddling with the contests of a people, a majority of whom we tear, are neither worthy of, nor even wish for that liberty for which a part of th* popula tion is contending. Nat. Gazette. GREAT NATIONAL FESTIVAL. “ Hail, sacred polity.’ by freedom rear'd , “ Hail, sacred freedom! wfun by laws restrain'd .” Beattie. The birthday of the American Republick ap pears to have been celebrated the present year with rather more than common eclat. The pa pers from various parts of the country, so far as we have seen them, are teeming with the details of numerous and splendid celebrations, and afford a flattering proof that the blessings of the most perfect form of government on earth are in some measure appreciated by a grateful people. If, in deed, the spirit which w.irnif and the hearts of our fathers in the trying hour w hen the declaration of their independence was to be maintained by the sacrifice of their treasures and their blood, have in ar.y degree departed from among us, the remembrance of their struggles and of their final triumph is yet deeply impressed upon the minds of their descendants. We rejoice in those vol untary expressions of devotion and attachment to our Constitution and Laws which are made on this occasion ; and we are particularly gratified to notice, that in the various toasts which we have seen, with few exceptions, there is little party asperity or sectional feeling manifested. The “ good health” of President Monroe has been uni versally drunk, and the heads of the various de partments have come in for a full share of publick approbation. Long, long may our present una nimity and good fellowship continue. We select j the following toasts from the multitude before us, • not however, because they are the only ones we deem worth publishing. At Savannah. The Day we celebrate.—May it long be re membered as dear to Americans, and may “chaos i come again” ere we forget to celebrate and cher ish it. j The state of Georgia.—A bright Star in rtpub | lican splendour, she has always been a worthy | member of the “Old Federal 13.” her destinies are high, may her sons never forget duly to appre : ciate them. The Navy, the pride of our country.—Haughty | Brittannia has heard her terrible thunders, and felt her power; the humble Turk bows under her star-spangled banner. The State of Missouri.—A child of the old La dy at good old age, but fine and promising; her political godfathers will be to blame for her refrac tory conduct, for having had her christened after she had cut her eye-teeth. The Floridas.—An orphan child of an unwor thy parent, but now adopted into the great Re publican family ; she has been badly brought up, but by gentle correction with “ Tennessee Hick ory,” she may become a respectable member of this worthy family. Internal Improvement.—We have a bright ex ample of their beneficial effects in our sister state, South Carolina, and very detrimental bo our in terests ; may our legislators apply a remedy in time by granting advantages to enterprising indi viduals ; we hope soon to see the Ogechee blend its waters with the SaTannah, and the waters of the Alatamaha kiss the sands of Brunswick. The Battle of New Orleans.—“ For further par ticulars inquire of” John Bull. Liberty of the Frets.—To freemen the /Egis of Minerva, to Despots the Gorgon head of Medusa. Grape to our friends and chain-shot to onr en emies. George Washington.—The world is his sepul chre, and may his great name ever be the war cry of the oppressed, the lightning to blast and to rive the monuments of tyranny. At Monticello Geo. Publick officers.—May they never forget that they are but the clay in the hands of the potter. Publick Education.—The firm basis of the tem ple of liberty: the diffusion of knowledge is one of the surest safeguards of our political blessings. The Navy of the United States—whose thun ders have awakened the Leviathan of the Ocean from a century’s dream of invincibility. At Beaufort, S. C. The Declaration of Independence.—Like the star in the east, that guided to the Saviour of souls ; so may it lead to the emancipation of all mankind from tyranDy. At Alexandria, D. C. General Jackson.—He negotiates with his cannon, and signs treaties with his sword. The Dons have had some hasty translations. The Banking System —Keep the rats out of “ the house that Jack built.” The Fair Sex.—The only despotick power to which freemen should ever kneel. NEW YORK GRAND CANAL. From the New York Statesman of July 3. “ While on the subject of the canal, and at the eve of the anniversary of our national indepen dence, the coincidence brings to mind a splendid prediction, which we heard a distinguished gen tleman utter, while in conversation with him some time since. ‘The 4th of July, 1824,’ said he, ‘ will be celebrated on the Grand Canal, in commemoration of its completion. On that day, and in honour of two events, the most glorious in the annals of our history, the banks of the canal from Erie to the Hudson will be lined with can non, planted within speaking distance. The channel of the canal will be covered with boats, fancifully adorned with American banners, each bearing a band of musick, and filled with ladies and gentlemen. Both banks will be crowded with spectators, who will convene from oil parts of the stale, and from other states, to witness the gran deur of the scene, and unite in the festivities of the occasion. A feu de joie of cannon, the echoes of musick, and the shouts of immense multitudes will ring along the line from the wa ters of the Hudson to the shores of the lake. 1 am rapidly descending into the vule of years, con tinued he, and my infirmities admonish me that I may not live to see that day ; but you and my children will, and unite in celebrating the birth day of slur nation, and the consummation of the glory of New York.” A Discovery.-Vt. Ilo.ack ha* lately read to the Historical Society of New York, “A Biograph ical Memoir of the lute Dr. Hugh Williamson, a native of Pennsylvania. This production is ren dered peculiarly interesting by the evidence it contains of a fact which has never before been publickly asserted or known, that Dr. Williamson was the person who obtained for l)r. Franklin the famous letter written by Hutchinson and Oli ver, the goveruour oud lieutenant governour of Massachusetts, to the British government, just before the breaking out of the American revolu tionary war. Dr. Williamson had learned in London, “ that Hutchinson’s letters were depo sited in an office different from that in winch they ought regularly to have been placed ; and having understood that there was little exactness in the business of that office, he immediately repaired to it and addressed himself to the chief clerk, not finding the principal within. Assuming the de meanour of oflicial importance, he perempto rily stated that he had come for the last letters that had been received from governour Hutchiu son and Mr. Oliver, noticing the office in which they ought regularly to have been placed. ‘V ith out a question being asked, the letters were de livered. The clerk, doubtless, supposed him to be an authorized person from some other publick office. Dr. Williamson immediately carried them to Dr. Franklin, and the next day left London for Holland.” The oldest Paper in the United States.— The Editor of the Baltimore Federal Republican, by reference to the manuscript history of Maryland, by Thomas W. Griffiths, Esq. has discovered that there ie a paper thirteen years older than the Newport Mercury. “It is the Maryland Gazette, which was first established in 1745, by Jonas Green, Esq. and which is now very ably con ducted by Mr. Jonas Green, who is a descendant from the original proprietor. It is now 76 years old, and a real seventy sixer it is.” Literary Shoemakers. —The late Mr. Ilolcroft was originally an indigent shoemaker: Robert Bloomfield wrote his poem of The Farmer's Boy, while employed at this business; and Dr. Win. Carey, professor of Sanscrit and Bengalee, at the College of Fort William, Calcutta, and the able and indefatigable translator of the Scriptures into ) many of the Eastern languages, was in early life j a shoemaker in Northamptonshire. The present Mr. Gifford, the translator of Juvenal, and the supposed editor of the Quarterly Review, spent some of his early days in learning the “ craft and mystery” of a shoemaker, as he tells us in one of the most interesting pieces of autobiography ever penned, and prefixed to his nervous version of the Roman satirist. To kill rats. —Mix equal quantities of pounded quick lime, sugar, or molasses, and oatmeal, (or coarse grist) together; lay it in a place frequent ed by the rats, end place a shallow basin full of water, near each parcel of the powder The rats will eat the powder, and then drink till they burst; after which the rest will go away. Preservation of Meal. —We are indebted to a friend for the following communication, which we expect will be acceptable to a number of our readers. It is a simple and easy mode of preserv ing meat fresh for several days, during the warm est weather. He tried it in succession on two legs of veal, which were preserved fresh and sweet four or five days, and he thinks might long er if wished for. On getting this veal from the market, it was washed in about two quarts of wa ter in which a handful of fine salt had been mix ed ; was then placed on a dish and set away in a wire safe, in a cool situation, covered with a clean towel that had been previously steeped in the salt and water, before the washing operation commenced. This leg of veal was dressed the next day, was washed a second time in fresh salt and water, as before, placed in the safe, but not covered with a towel; the third and fourth day it was treated exactly in the same way, and it was found perfectly sweet and good, without any sensible taste of salt. Had the same treatment been continued for one week, I have little doubt but it would produce the same effect; and I see no reason why this treatment should not be alike successful in preserving beef, mutton and lamb. If so, the experiment is worth a trial. N. Y. paper. Wit by the wayside. —ln the neighbourhood of Haddam castle, Dumfrieshire, there is a tower called Repentance. A pleasant answer of a shep herd boy to Sir Richard Steele, founded on the name of this tower, is related. Sir Richard, hav ing observed a boy on the ground, and very at tentive reading his Bible, asked if be could tell him the way to Heaven? ‘Yes, Sir,’ answered the boy, ‘you must go by that tower.’ Confessions.— Lord Waldograve, having abjur ed the Catholick Religion, was a long time am bassador at Paris. He was one day teased upon the subject es his conversion by the duke of Burwick. ‘Pray,’ said he, ‘ Mr. Ambassador, who had most to do in your conversion, the min isters of state or the ministers of religion ?” ‘ This is a question,’ said his lordship, ‘ you must excuse my answering, for when I ceased to be a Catho lick, I renounced confession.” Sheriff’s Sale.
