POETRY. FROM THE CHRISTIAN OBSERVER. Tht Lamentation of the Virgins of Israel for the Daughter of Jeptha : A HEBREW ECLOGUE. Haste, virgins! baste to climb yon sunny moun tains, And join the dance in those melodious bowers. Haste! crown your urns from Gilead’s purest fountains, And weave your wreaths of Gilead’s sweetest flowers. For once again’ the slow revolving hours Have brought the day when weeping Palestine, From wild Idnme'e groves to Sidon’s towers, Bewailed the daughter of her noblest line, And Maloch’s offerings smoked upon Jehovah’s shrine. And ever on the day that viewed her led To that dire rite, in deepest terror calm, Around her grave the youths and damsels shed Rich odorous gums, and twine the verdant palm ; While many a sacred dance and mournful psalm Bewail the victim of reluctant slaughter; And Ephraim’s hills, and Gilead’s groves of balm, And the green rocks of Jordan’s dark blue water, Echo the funeral diige of Israel’s fairest daugh ter. Oh ! child of heroes, if in death thou Invest The land thy virgin blood was shed to save, Hear from the happy realms where now thou ro vest The solemn lay we warble o’er thy grave. For prophets tel! us, that to the good and brave Our fathers’ God assigns a happier dwelling, Where gorgeous streams of liquid emerald lave Refulgent groves, all groves of earth excelling, Where heavenly rousick floats, through the rich branches swelling; Where Heaven in endless sapphire burns above, And earth smiles gaily on the smiling skies; Where flowers more radiant than the blurh of love Are funn’d by breezes softer than its sighs; Where seraphs furl their wings, whose countless dyes Burn with the glories of departing day, And, as in Eden’s earlier Paradise, Delight with men through those fair setnes to stray, And all their .Maker's works and all bis love display. Hope views thee living—Nature mourns thee dead; And, fairest, we must weep—though not for thee. Oh ! who can stand above the grassy bed Os tbat fair form whom we no more car. see, Nor think, how thy dark eyes flashed forth with glee, When thy great father’s conquering arms were sung From broad Euphrates to the Western sea, vEless’d by each heart,and prais’d by every tongue, And clouds of incense rose, and songs of tri umph rung! Haste ! fling green garlands through the crowded street- Roll back tbe portals—let the trumpet sound— Throng every battlement the Chief to greet Who comes with glory’s brightest chaplet crown’d; And, as he passes, scatter odours round. Heard ye the thunders of bis gilded car ? Saw ye his riiilk-while courers paw the ground ? While sobs, and shout=, and clapping hands, afar, Hail the triumphant track of Israel’s saviour’s star. See ! from the gates a lovely train advance To greet their Prince with symphony and song. Who, who more fit to lead the hallow’d dance, Than she, belov’d so well, unseen so long? On either side rolls back the gazing throng, As those celestial forms, with airy tread And brandish’d timbrel, blushing, glide along. But he—why shakes he with convulsive dread, And heaves that shuddering groan, and hides that helmed head ? Oh! daughter of a father’s tenderest care : Oh ! victim of a father’s cruel faith ! Yes—thou must die ! Those snowy brows must wear The sacrificial, not tbe bridal wreath. For joyful state, for clarion’s jocund breath, For wedding dance by kindred maidens led, Thine is the mournful pomp and dffge of death ! Dark is the spouse, fair maid, whom thou must wed, And dire the nuptial rite, and cold the nuptial bed. Yet, even while trembling on the brink of life, No voice to cheer her, and no hand to save, She calmly Saw the shrine, the flame, the knife, And smiled on horrours that appal the brave ; Yhe wept for him who doom’d her to the grave— With her last ebbing breath she faintly blest The frantick wrtlch who took the life he gave ; His white and writhing lips to hers she press’d, And hid her dying face upon his sohbing breast. Therefore on this sad day, with mournful pleasure, Thy spotless fame, thy cruel fate we sing, And hail thy name in many a tuneful measure, And gird thy bier with many a choral ring: Therefore, upon thy couch of turf we fling Each dewy flower, which like a jewel glows Around the brilliant coronal of spring— The painted tulip, and the pale primrose, And violet, which, like thee, in chastest beauty grows. Twine, sisters, twine the bashful rose, which lent Her breath it 9 fragrance and her cheek its bloom, And spread those modest tints, that balmy scent, To grace a fairer, Sweeter victim's tomb: And twine tbs thyme, which yields its rich per fume, When braised and wounded by the heedless tread ; For, like the flower, beneath her cruel doom, In patient loveliness she bow’d her head, And round her murderer’s path delight and bles \ sing shed. FrAru the clear bosom of yon shaded lake, Haste,'cull the broad-leav’d lily’s virgin flower: When whirlwinds rend the oak and waste the brake, And heayen is dark with hurricane and shower, Its frail white cups defy the tempest’s power: And she, as pure, as modest, and as fair, ■When fate and frenzy brought the deadly hour, Smiled with pale, gentle firmness on despair, Anti meekly armed her soul to suffer and to core. Oh, noblest, puwiH. gentlest, fairest, best! Martyr of fame, of freedom, and of love! Long, round the bed o. r thine eternal rest, Shall snowy feet in mazy circles move; Long may the pensive virgin footsteps rove, “When ocean burn* beneath the blush of even, Through the dim shade of thy sepulchral grove— And to the turf where thou art laid be given The sweetest flowers of earth, the Softest tears , of Heaven. s ,t ■ NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. m The London Times, in annonneing the death of this great Captain, aubjoins tbe following re marks : te Thus terminates, in exile and in prison, the most extraordinary life yet known to political history. The vicissitades of such a life, indeed, are the most valuable lessons which history can furnish. Connected with, and founded in the principles of his char acter, the varieties of fortune which Bona parte experienced are of a nature to illus it trate the most useful maxims of benevo lence, patriotism or discretion. They em il brace both extremes of the condition of man in society, and therefore address themselves to all ranks of human being*. But Bona parte was our enemy—our defeated enemy —and as Englishmen we must not tarnish s our triumphs over the living tvarriour, by unmanly injustice towards the dead. The details of his life are notorious, and we omit them. The community of which Bona parte was in his early days a member, and the military education which he received, a may, independently of any original bias of character, have laid the foundation of the , greatness to which he attained, aod of that - mischievous application of unbridled power through which he fell nearly to the level j whence he first had started. Nothing could i be more corrupt than the morals of military . society among the French before the revo lution—nothing more selfish or contracted than the views,at all times,of a thorough bred military adventurer. Bonaparte came into active life with as much (but we have no reason to think a larger share) of lax moral i ity nnd pure selfishness as others of hi* age and calling. The pubiick crisis into which he was thrown, gave to profound selfishness the form of insatiable ambition. With tal , ents and enterprise beyond all comparison greater than any against which he had to ; contend, he overthrew whatever opposed his progress. Thus, ambition in him was more conspicuous than in others, only be ( cause it was more successful. He became a Sovereign. How then was this pupil of ■ a military school prepared to exercise the functions of sovereignty ? An officer, as such, has no idea of divided power. His 1 1 patriotism is simply love of his troops and ! his profession. He will obey commands— he will issue them—but in both cases those commands are. absolute. Talk to him of ‘ deliberation, of debale,of freedom of action, i of speech, nay of opiuion, his feeling is,that j the body to which any of these privileges | shall be accessible, must fall into confusion, | and be speedily destroyed. Whatever pre ; texts may have been resorted to by Bona parte—whatever JacobiD yells he may have joined in to assist his own advance to i wards power—every subsequent act of his i life assures us that the military preposses ! sions in which he was edacated, became those by which he was influenced as a statesman : and we are well persuaded of his conviction, that it was impossible for any country, above all for France, to be gov erned otherwise than by one sole authority —undivided and unlimited. It may, we confess, be no satisfaction to the French, nor any great consolation to the rest of Eu rope, to know through what means it was, or by what vicious training, that Bonaparte was fitted, nay, predestinated almost, to be a scourge and destroyer of the rights of na tions, instead of employing a power irresist ible, and which in such a cause none would have felt disposed to resist, for the promo tion of knowledge, peace and liberty throughout the world. In hinting at what we conceive to be the fact, however, we are bound by regard for truth ; our busi ness is not to apologize for Bonaparte; but so far as it may be done within tho brief limits of a newspaper, to analyze and faith fully describe him. The factions also which he was compelled to crush, and whose overthrow obtained for him the gratitude of bis c<*jntry, still threatened a resurrection when the compressing force should be withdrawn. Hence were pre tests furnished on behalf of despotism, of which men more enlightened and better constituted than Bonaparte might not soon have discovered the fallacy. Raised to em pire at home, his ambition sought fresh ali ment ; and foreign conquest was at once tempting and easy. Here the natural re flection will obtrude itsplf— what might not this extraordinary being have effected for the happiness of mankind, and for his own everlasting fame and grandeur, had he used but a moiety of the force or perseverance in generous efforts to relieve the oppressed, which he wasted in rendering himself the monopolist and patron of oppression ! But he had left himself no resource. He had extinguished liberty in France, and had no hold upon his subjects but their love of mil itary glory. Conquest therefore succeeded to conquest, until nothing capable of subju gation was left to be subdued. Insolence and rapacity in the victor produced among the enslaved nations, impatience of their misery, and a thirst for vengeance. In justice undermined itself, and Bonaparte, with his unseasoned empire, fell together, the pageant of a day. His military administration was marked by strict and impartial justice. He had the art in an eminent degree, of inciting the emulation and gaining the affections of his troops. He was steady and faithful in bis friendships, and not vindictive on occasions where it was in his power to be so with im punity. Os the deceased emperour’s intellectual and characteristick ascendency over men, all the French, and some of other na tions besides the French, who had an opportunity of approaching him, can bear witness. He seems to have possessed the talent, not merely of command, but when he pleased, of conciliation and per suasion. With regard to his religious sen timents, they were perhaps of the same standard as those of other Frenchmen start ing into manhood at a time when infidel 60 writings had so domineered °vfcr tb* popu lar mind, that revealed relig> on , was become a pubiick laughingstock ; am *. a country where the pure Christian faith was per plexed with subtilties, overloaded by mum meries,and scandalized and discountenanced by a general looseness of morals. Upon the whole, Bonaparte will g? down to pos terity as a man who, having morn good at his disposal than any other potentate ot any former age, had actually applied his im mense means to the production of a greater share of mischief and misery to his fellow creatures—one who, on the basis of French liberty, might have founded that ot every state in Europe—but who carried on a se ries of aggressions against foreign 9tates to divert the minds of his own subjects from the sense of their domestick slavery ; thus imposing on foreign nations a necessity tor arming to shake off his yoke, and affording to foreign despots a pretext for following his example. The sensations produced by the death of Bonaparte will be a good deal confined in this country to its effects as a partial relief to our finances, the expense of his custody at St. Helena being little short of £IOO,OOO per annum. In France the sentiment will be more deep and complex, aad perhaps not altogether easy to define. The prac tical consequence of such an event may be remotely guessed at by those who have had occasion to watch, in other governments, the difference between a living and an ex tinct Pretender. A pretext for suspicion and severity in the administration of affairs may be taken away by a Pretender’s death ; but then a motive of moderation—a ter ror, now and then salutary, of popular feel ings being excited in the Pretender’s fa vour by misgovernment—is at the same time removed from the minds of reigning Princes. Bonaparte’s son still fives, it is true ; but how far he may ever become an object of interest with any great party of the French nation, is a point on which we will not speculate. A RUSSIAN SUMMER. The complaint now is, the extreme heat of our August sun. We shall not attempt to palliate this solar offence ; but we may be permitted to remark, that in Russia, which always appears to us mantled in per petual snow, where we think of nothing hut furs and muffs, and warm drapery and boreas—in the season of heat, that is, for a quarter of the year, the suu is far more in tolerable than he is in Baltimore. He bursts with all his effulgence from the glooms of winter, and there is nothing but a blaze of almost insupportable heat. We think 12 hours of animal exhaustion almost too much for the human frame to bear. Our nights are often cool and restoring, and fan ned by the breath of benignant zephyrs.— What would a Russian say, who is compel led to undergo, not only 12, but 24 hours of such animal exhaustion ? No refreshing night during this season, covers with her sable mantle the face of the sun. He pours his incessant beams, while the hardy Rus sians are compelled to exert every sinew to improve the hours devoted to such in cessant labour. The port of Archangel,for example, is for the space of three months, all hustle and confusion, and uproar and business. Merchants shipping or unship ping articles of commerce, the roar of car riages and drays, the sound of the hammer upon the anvil, and the discordant notes ex cited by the various implements of industry, leave no intermission for the eyes of the j weary traveller to repose. The empire of the night seems to have been banished during that season from the world, and all the business of the year to be crowded iu the space of those three exhausting months. A Russian labourer will be found in the midst of all this uproar and bustle, stealing a few moment's of re pose to recruit exhausted nature, under the shade of some contiguous building, while his active comrades are employed in the beat and dust of the day. At the conclu sion of bis allotted term, he is awakened by one of his comrades, to a resumption of his toils, who stretches his weary length upon the spot that has just been deserted. Yet Russia would hardly be habitable with out this prolonged excess of solar beams. Vegetation rises from the snowy beds as by enchantment, and the earth, as if sensi ble of the importance of the season, pours forth her treasures in exhaustless abun dance. Art, as if anxious to rival nature, is equally on the alert to improve the hour; for commerce, before the fluid streams shall j be turned into marble by the breath of the tyrant of the polar regions.—Hence there is in Russia, during this season, noth ing hut life and energy and exhausting sunbeams. We have made these remarks under the full influence of our inclement sun, to convince our fellow citizens that “ their lot is comparatively cast in pleas ant places.” The ray that we so much dread is now employed in ripening for man and beast, the fruits of autumnal munifi cence. BREACH OF MARRIAGE PROMISE. The trials in England ami in our own country, for breaches of promise of mar riage. have of late been more numerous than formerly. But the suits in every in stance have been brought by ladies against their false-hearted swains excepting one brought in England, in June last, by a Mr. John Pizzey, against Mr. John and Mrs. Sa rah Boulter. It would appear from this trial, that frailty belongs not alone to man. If ever a man was led to believe that the day was approaching which was to consum mate his happiness, that mao was Pizzey; and if ever woman gave evidence ofheraU tachment to mao, that woman was Sarah Burchett. Her letters breathed the warm est feelings of love and sincere attachment. But, alas! poor human nature! how change able are the things of this world. On the 23d of July, 18*0, Pizzey received a let ter, in which Sarah calls him her dear , no less than three times, and on the 7th of Au. gust following, one fortnight only, she sends him another, telling him she had chang ed her mind, and that there were others better calculated to make him hap py ; and immediately afterwards married John Boulter. Good Heavens! what must have been poor Pizzey’s feelings! If lo lose his love was not sufficient to have driven him to despair, his mind must have sunk under the two-fold loss of love and money; for Sarah had drawn a prize ol j£,830 which he no doubt had enjoyed in anticipation, & upon which his future prospects were built. But, under the wrongs he suffered, his for titude, happily, did not forsake him—he did not go, as some others would have done, and hang himself, but brought an action against Sarah and her husband, for the damages she lmd inflicted on his feelings, as well as to shew Mr. Boulter , who had bolted him, that as queer a little fellow as some of the witnesses had pronounced him, “ Little Jack ” would not submit to be Jockied with impunity. Nor did he—for the jury in their tender mercy for his outraged feelings, gave him two hundred pounds. Ye fair, beware of the sudden transition of mind of Sarah Burchett, now Mrs. Boulter and not Mrs. Pizzey ! Matrimonial Punch. —How can you, my dear, (says a lady to her husband) prefer punch to wine ? “ Because, niy dear, it is so like matrimony—such a charming com pound of opposite qualities.” “ Ay, my lord 1 am the weak part I suppose ?” “ no, my love, you are the sweet, with a dash of the acid , and no small portion of the spirit. Afire-proof and water-proof Cement. To halt a pint of milk put an equal quan tity of vinegar, in order to curdle it; then separate the curd from the whey and mix the whey with the whites of four or five eggs, beating the whole well together.— When it is well mixed add a little quicklime, through a seive, until it has acquired the consistence of a thick paste. With this cement, broken vessels and cracks of all kinds may be mended. It dries quickly, & resists the action of fire and water. Cure for the Whooping Cough. —Dissolve a scruple of salt of tartar in a gill of water, and ten grains of cochineal finely powdered, sweeten this with fine sugar—give to an in fant the fourthnart of a tahle spoonful four times a day; child from 2 to 3 years old, half a spoonful—to a child 4 years and up i wards, a spoonful. The relief i9 immedi ate and the cure is general within 5 or 6 days. General Floyd. —This patriot of the revolution, and one of the illustrious signers of the Declara tion of Independence, breathed his last on Satur day the fourth of August, at Western, in Oneida County. He was in his ninetieth year; full of age and of honours, and was gathered to his fa thers like a patriarch, after assisting to liberate his country, and witnessing its prosperity and free dom. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Charles Carroll, are all who yet survive among the signers of the Declaration of Independence. We should not omit noticing that the venerable Charles Thompson,Secretary of the Continental Congress, is still alive in Pennsylvania. [JVaf. Advocate. The American aloe, now exhibiting in Phila delphia, is in a state of efflorescence, and daily putting forth its flowers. For 70 years the stem had attained the height of only 4 feet; but since i Way last, it has grown to the height of 16 feet,and circumference of 15 inches. During this last pe riod it has put forth 20 lateral branches ; on eight ofthe lowest ones there are more than eight hun dred flowering buds, each of which is expected to open a flower intrinsically beautiful.
