POETRY. From the Edinburgh Magazine. Stanza* on visiting a scene of childhood. “ I cime to the place of my birth, and said, “ The friends of my youth, where are they ?” And Echo answered, “ Where are they ?” Loire years had elapsed since I gaz’d on the scene, Which my fancy still rob’d in its freshness of k green ; The spot, where a school-boy, all thoughtless I ,a> ,tra J r ’ d ’ ,tbe side of the stream in the gloom of the ten shade °f‘eus:ht of the friends who had roam’d with me ] 00> there, !Vhen the sky was so blue and the flowers were so fair; All scatter’d, all sunder'd, by mountain and wave, And some in the cold silent .womb of the grave. I thought of the green banks that circled around, With wild flowers, with sweet briar and eglantine crown’d ; J thought of the river all stirless and bright As the face of the sky on a blue summer night. And I thought of the trees undeT which we had strayed, Os the broad leafy boughs with their coolness of shade; And I hop’d, though disfigur'd, some token to find Os the names and the carvings, impress’d on the rind. All eager I hasten’d the sceue to behold, Rendered sacred and dear by the feelings of old, And I deem’d that, unalter’d, my eyes should ex plore This refuge, this haunt, this elysiutn of yore ! ’Twas a dream—not a token or trace could 1 view Os the names that 1 lov’d, of the trees that 1 knew; Like the shadows of night at the dawning of day, Like a tale that is told—they had vanish’d away ! And melhought the lone river that murmur’d along, Was more dull in its musick, more sad in its song. Since the birds that had nestled and warbled above, ‘ , Had all fled from its banks at the fall of the grove. 1 paus’d—and the moral came home to my heart, Beheld, bow of earth all the glories depart! Our visions are baseless—our hopes but a gleam, Cur staff but a reed, and our life but a dream ! Then, oh ! let us look—let our prospects allure, To scenes that can fade not, to realms that en dure, To glories, to blessings, that triumph sublime. O’er the blightings of Change, and the ruins of Time ! MISCELLANY. Agricultural. . From the Columbia Telescope. Columbia , S. C. June 18. Mr. Cline, Sir, —1 received a few days since the fol lowing method of destroying weevils in flotir, wheat, rice, and other grains, either in the barn or in barrels, of preventing or curing, the rust in wheat or in cotton , which the writer says positively is owing to small in sects; and also for destroying rats in barns, granaries and elsewhere. This was sent to me as Chairman of lha Board of Curators of the South Carolina Ag- j ricnltural Society, by Mr. James M’Lain, of York district, South Carolina, and lie very liberally allows me to publish it as often & in any manner 1 please. Mr. M’Lain says, that the mat in wheal is occasioned by small yellow worm% to he found mostly in the hollow of the stalk be tween the top joint and the head ; (hey are so very small that they can scarcely be seen by the naked eye. The rust in cotton is caused by multitudes of insects on the un derside of the leaves. I am -veil aware that sulphur has been frequently recommended for the above pur poses; but whether it has had a full trial is doutful, particularly in the manner and time of using it as directed Mr. M'Lain, viz: by making matches of thetrim tone or sul phur, and sticking them after being lighted, in the field infected by the insects between daylight and sun rise , when the air is still and the dew on the plants, This being done for three successive mornings will des troy the insects, and restore the wheat and cotton to perfect health and vigour. Now it is very possible that the smoke of the brimstone impregnating the dw on the plants may have a fuller effect than if used under other circumstances. One pound of brimstone is sufficient for ten acres each morning, of wheat or cot ton. To preserve wheat, rice or other grains, and flour io barrels, from weevils &, worms, wet the inside of the barrel and turn it down #ver a burning match—let it stand about ten minutes,take it off and put in your wheat, fice, flour, Sic. immediately. To preserve corn, Sic. in cribs, and gran aeries from rats, weevils, Sec. dig holes suffi -tiently large to contain n match of the sul phur of brimstone aud let it stay about thir ty minutes. ’ When we consider the enormous ravages and the-geeat destruction caused to farmers, cotton and rice planters, merchants and others, by insects and rats, it excites sur prise that certaiu means of destroying them Jjave not yet been found out and very fully tried. Should the sulphur, used ac cording to Mr. J. McLain’s method prove effectual, his name deserves to be handed down to posterity with the highest honour end praise for the liberal and disinterested manner in which be made the communica tion. I am, respectfully, Sir, Your’s &c. N. IIERBEMOT. WOMAN. [Extracted from “ The Idle Mas” anew publi cation which has recently appeared in N.York.] Women have been called angels in love tales and sonnets, till we have almost learn ed to think of angels as little better than women. Yet a man who knows a woman thoroughly, and loves her truly; and there are women who may be both so kpown and loved; will find, after a few years, that his relish for the grosser pleasures has lessen ed, and that he has grown into a fondness for the intellectual and refined, without an effort and almost unawares. Be has been led on to virtue through his pleasures. The delight of the eye, and the gentle play of that passion which is the most inward & romantick in oar nature, and which keeps much of its character amidst the concerns of life, have held him in a kind of spiritualized existence. He shares his very being with one who, a creature of this world, and with some of the world's frailties, is Yet a spirit, still and bright With something of an angel light* “ With all the sincerity of a companion ship of feeling, cares, sorrows, and enjoy ments, her presence is as the. presence of a purer being, and there is that is her nature which seems to bring him nearer to a bet ter world. She is, as it were linked to an gels and lie feels, in his exalted moments, held by the same tie. “ A woman, amidst the ordinary affairs of life, has a greater influence than a man on those near her. While, for the most part, our feelings are as retired as anchorite, hers are in constant play before us. We hear them in her varying voice.—We see them in the beautiful and harmonious undu lations of her movements; in the quick-shif ting hues of her face; in her eye, glad and bright; then fond and suffused. Her whole frame is alive and active with what is at her heart, and the outward form all speaks. And can a man listen to this; can his eye rest upon all this, day after day, and he not “be touched and made better ? She seems ot a finer mould than we, and cast in a form of beauty, which, like all beauty acts with a moral influence upon our hearts. As she moves about us, we feel a movement within, which rises and spreads gently over us, har monizing with her own. “The dignity of a woman has its peculi ar character. It awes mere than that of man. His is more physical, bearing itself up with an energy of courage which we may brave, or a strength which we may struggle against. He is his own avenger, and we may stand the brunt. A woman’s dignity has nothing of this force in it. it is of a higher quality, too delicate for mortal touch. We bow before it as before some soperiour spirit appearing in beautiful ma jesty.” Nothing is perhaps more dangerous to the future happiness of men of deep thought and retired habits, than the entertaining an i -early, long, and unfortunate attachment. It | frequently sinks so deep into the mind, that i it becomes their dream by night and their i vision by day—mixes itself with every j source of interest aud enjoyment—& when 1 blighted and withered by final dissappoint- 1 ment, it seems as if the springs of the heart, i were dried up along with it. This aching J of the heart, this languishing after a shad- j ow which has lost the gaiety of its colouring, 1 this dwelling on the remembrance of a dream from which we have been roughly awakened, is the weakness of a gentle and generous heart. General Intelligence. THE CINCINN ATI. From the Boston Centinel, July 8. The birth day of our National'lndependence was commemorated by Shis decreasing band of war-worn veterans in their usual spirit of renew ed friendship and interesting recollections. They dined together at Concert Rail, which is always reserved for their accommodation, told their old stories, sung their old songs, and fought over, in review, their old battles; and as this sort of harm less fighting precludes the shedding of blood, plen tiful libations of Madeira and Claret were poured out in lieu of it. The following historical items, in form of toasts, were each recognized and attested to in full flow ing bumpers : tsl Toast —The day, and the memory of the immortal WASHINGTON! His vakmr and skill defended in the field, what wisdom and patriotism decreed in the cabinet. 2d Toast —The President of the United States. 3d Toast— lndependence !—boldly declared, pertinaciously denied, but fairly proved and con firmed by the ten following arguments : 4th. Toast —l starg. —Lexington!—Where we taught our foes “The true war dance of Yankee reels, “ And nianuel exercise of heels.”— McFingal. hth Toast— 2d arg— Bunker’s Hill !—Where more execution was done by father's long gun , than by kings’ arms and bayonets. 6lh Toast—3d arg. —Retreat from Ty’ .We lost our tents and baggage, but Burgoyne and his army were soon pledged to redeem them. ?<fi Toast — 4th arg. —Saratoga .'—Thousands drink health at her springs, but there the British Lion drank death from onr Brooks* —[Drank af ter the President had retired.] Util toast—jlith arg. —Princeton !—A coup de main ! —Planned by genius without supplies, and executed by bravery without shoes and stock ings. 9/A Toast —6 lh arg. —Trenton!—A ruse de guerre—Where with a great many lights before them, the enemy lost their Hessians in the dark. lOlh Toast—illi arg. —Brandywine and Ger mantown ! Battles won and lost. New troops always gain by fighting. VUh Toast —B//i arg. —Monmouth !—A fair tri al of strength and discipline by day, and the re sult acknowledged by the enemy, in their retreat by night. Wh Toast—9th arg —Stoney Point.—A tongh storm . which swept the enemy’s standard from the walls, and tore up his proud defiance by the roots. J * regiments which stormed the right of the Bntish intrenched camp at Saratoga was led by Col. Brooks, the present Gcvemour if Massa chusetts. 36 13/A Toast— lOlh arg-' Yoxktown!— A ttvb born fact! which produced a verdict in our fa vour, and left no case for the Court at Westmin ster. 14/A Toast— The American Fair!—We fought for Liberty and Independence, but reject not the silkeu chains which Beauty offers. Folunleer —Old times! Some of ns are old enough to remember thtm —the rest will never forget their influence. The advance ofthisC’rps,able to take the field upon this occasion, consisted of only 21, suppor ted by about the same number of vigorous and spirited recruits who fill their fathers’ vacancies in the line, and who will ever do honour to their memory.

Mr. Editor—ln the afternoon of the Bth inst. being at the country residence of a friend in Newton, the writer for the.first time, beheld the expansion of the roost beautiful of American pro ductions, the Might-Blooming Cereus, [Cactus Grandillora.] Just after six o’clock, the .fibres (if they may be so called) of the calix began to separate, and to discover the yellow tints beneath ; and by half past eight o’clock the whole of one of the grandest and most beautiful flowers of all the vegetable kingdom, was fully expanded, dis playing within the rays of a vegetable sun, numer ous petals of the purest white, four or five inches jin length, with a great number of recurved stami na, snrrounding the style of the centre of the flower. By measurement we found the diame’er of the extended calix to be nearly nine inches. The perfume emitted by the plant scented the whole hot house. The motion of the fibres soon after they began to expand was visible to the eye. The sight was gratifying, and the moral it taught not uninstructive. We are told by the Botanists that this short-lived bnt dazzling Beauty begins to disclose its charms before night-fall, in July, arrives at perfection before midnight, and fades and consumes soon after day-light the next morning; continuing in perfection only about six hours.

No system is better calculated to effect the only proper object of legal punishment in Peni tentiaries, than the dividing of convicts into sepa rate classes. New York, we perceive, by an act of April 2d ofthe present year, has adopted a sys tem whereby the prisoners at Auburn are divided into three classes. The first class to be compos ed of the oldest and most heinous offenders, who are constantly to he confined in cells; the second class to consist of offenders of a less heinous grade, to be confined in cells three days and permitted to labour three days in each week ; and the third class to comprise youthful offenders and such as shall be deemed by the inspector worthy to be permitted to labour each day. All prisoners in variably to sleep in Separate cells, except in cases ofsiokness ; and the inspector or warden to have power to chaise any individual from one class to another as circumstances may require. The plan of dividing the eonvicls into classes, and offering pecuniary rewards and superiour pri vileges to those whose good behaviour and atten tion to business are deemed by the superinten dents deserving of special favours, was adopted some time since in the Massachusetts penitentia ry, and the effect has been very salutary upon a great proportion of the prisoners. ClevelAkb. Ohio, June 29. Adventure with a Bear— On the 26th nit. a son of Mr. Adam Miller, of Troy township, about 17 years of age, had occasion to pass through a piece of wood which extended about four miles; having proceeded about a mile, hp discovered at a short distance a bear and three cubs. Being I entirely destitute of weapons of defence, he tried : to (tighten them off by hallooing, &c. but the old j “ear made immediately towards him, and he spuing for a sapling about 10 inches in diameter, jaM f ree 0 f n mbs to lhe height of forty feet Th is he ascended, and the bear followed; at the I height of 10 or 12 feet, she was so near him he j E“ v ’e her a kick, and she slipped to the bottom. =he immediately ronscended, while he exerted himself to climb beyond her reach. Bnt she j a pin overtook him; and as he kicked at her she ! ,ore his r 'E ht foot badly, took off bis shoe, and again fell to the ground. She then followed him ; up the third time, and fell without doing him any injury. He had now ascended the sappling about 20 feet; but the old bear was soon at his heels the fourth time, caught his left foot, and both fell 1 together. On reaching tie ground, the bear started from him about a rod, when he recovered and ran. She followed 30 or 40 rods, and gave up the chace, and the young man reached home in safety. At a publick celebration of the 4th of July at Philadelphia, the declaration of independence was read by the venerable Timothy Matlack, j I nearly 90 years of age. He wrote the first com-! mission for Gen.Washington,aud was an early and j persevering asserterof the principles of the ravo ’ lution both in the cabinet and the field. 1 From the Elisabethtown, M. J. Gaecttc latcristing TV/.—At the late term of the court j of common pleas for this county, came on for tri al a cause has produced considerable ex cilement in the pubiick mind. It was an action for slander, brought by Miss Eunice llall, late | teacher of a Female Boarding School in this town against Dr. Robert Grant,of Georgia. The dam a ges were laid at SIO,OOO. The cause occupied the court severfdays, during most of which time the court room was thronged with spectators. The jury after deliberating about two hours, brought m a verdict of $250 for the plaintiff. New-York, July It. Commodore Barron. —The Court of Enquiry in the case of Com. Barron, closed its sitting yes terday ; and, if wo are correctly informed, there was not a shadow of evidence in support of the surmisdl against this gentleman’s character. It may now be reasonably hoped that the Commo dore will not only be restored to the confidence of his government, and fellow-citizens, but to a command suitable to his rank. A Warning. —By a gentleman of this county', who returned from a western (our a few days since, we have been informed cf one of the most shocking occurrences that has fallen to our lot to record. A man near St. Clairsville, O. who had his smoke house robbed frequently by some per son unknown, undertook to detect the thief by rubbing arseniek over a piece of bacon, and leav ing it in a convenient place. The next day a whole family was taken ill in the neighbourhood, and the wife and three children of the thief had died, and all the rest consisting of two cr three children and himself, were lying at the point of death when our informant passed. [ ll'ash. Pa Register. Sir James M'lntosh's humane proposition in the House of Commons, to alter the criminal law of Great Britian, has failed. In the debate on his motion, one of the members observed—” To kill your father, or to catch a rabbit, (he penalty is the tame ; to destroy the three kingdoms, or to destroy a hop vine, the penally is the same ; to kill a gipsey, or to keep company with a gipsey, the penalty is the same. As to transportation, criminals regard it as a favour.” In the debate of the British House of Commons of the 23d May, on the mitigation of the punish ment of forgery, Dr. Lushington related the fol lowing anecdote :—“ About 18 years ago, a boy between 15 and 16 years of age, passed by the Ok! Bailey, while a roan was executed for forge ry ; the hoy’s character up to that time was free from all blame ; he asked what the man was ex ecuted for, and was informed ; and, in the course of that same day he went home and committed forgery himself. Having been tried for the of . ence, lie was convicted, but afterwards saved, on’ a certificate from the Ordinary, that he was not fit to take the Sacrament. So little effect has the punishment of death on the human mind.” The following extract is from a work recently published in England, entitled “ Views of Society and Manners in America,” by an Englishwo man. The writer is Miss Wright, authoress of Altorf, who visited our country a year or two since, with her sister. We cannot but be proud of the elegant compliment here paid us, when we reflect upon the low abuse heaped upon our country by her countrymen, Howitt, Fearon, and others. The whole work is said to be creditable to her literary abilities, and honourable to our country. [Georgian. “ It is said that every man has his forte, and so, perhaps, has every nation ; that of the Ameri can is clearly good sense; this sterling quality is the current coin of the country, and it is curions to see how immediately it tries the metal of other j minds.

Several years ago, at a treaty held with some Indian tribes at Vincennes, in Indiana, at which thecelebrated Tecumsch was present, Gen. Har rison acted as one of the commissioners on the part of our government. A bower had been erected in a field adjoining the town for the meet ing of the parties. Before the Council was open ed, Gen. Harrison handed several chairs to the American officers and gentlemen who were pres ent before he offered one to Tecnmseh. On handing one to him, the haughty warriour thrust it aside; and surveying those around him with a mingled expression of pride and contempt, threw himself in a reclining posture on (he ground. Gen. Harrison endeavoured to soothe him, and through the interpreter, asked whether he intended to offend his Great Father. “My father! (said the indignant .chief,) the Sun is my father, and the Earth is my mother , and 1 will repose myself cn her bosom.” ‘a. B. Albany Statesman. Fourteen hundred Moors perished in the storm that lately destroyed-the Tunisian fleet at Tunis. The admiral was the only officer that escaped, he being on shore at the time. This fleet was just preparing to sail on a piratical cruise against the commerce of Christian nations. MOSCHETOS. An English paper announces that a principal road in America is become impassable from a species of non-descript moscheto ; they attack both man and horse, and their sting is so destruc tive as to cause death in three hours. They ought surely to have told us where these horrid insects are to be found, so that we may avoid the fury !of their attacks and the poison of their stings. We are curious to know whether these are tiie j same kind ofmoschetos as those which carry brick bats under their wings to whet their bills upon ! [M. Y. Com. Adv. From the National Gazette.

During the siege of Acre, en old sailor of (Its ! name of Daniel Bryan, then on board Sir Sidney I Smith's ship Ee Tigre, made frequent applications * to be employed on shore ; but his age aud deaf ness were considered as insuperable disqualifies, (ions. At the first storming of the breach, one oT j the French generals was slain. The Turks struck. | off his head, and, after inhumanly mangling his * body, threw it out to be devoured by the dog.*| Bryan heard Ids messmates describe this horrid'l spectacle, and when any boat’s crew returned Irani the shore, he often inquired if they had buri ed (he French general. The answer he common ly received was “go and do it yourself.”. At length Bryan got leave to go and see the town; and, dressed in his best clothes, went with the surgeon in the jolly boat.—lie procured, a pick axe, a shovel, and a rope, and insisted upon be ing let down from a port hole close to the beach. Some young messmates begged hard to share bis danger; for a slight circumstance enkindles (he 1 nobler and milder virtues that blend with invinci- S ble valour in the bosom. Bryan would not permit | his young friends to risk their lives. He said he would go alone : he was old and deal’, and his j loss would not be of any consequence. lie was eloquent in the style best adapted for dissuading his bearers from giving the enemy any advantage, by reducing the number of the champions of his couutiy ; and the junior tars slung and lowered him down, with bis implements for action.
