POETRY. The following beautiful stanzas were handed to Os by i> friend, a few days since. He did not know the author ; nor do we recollect ever to have read them before. The note of the tran acriber remarked that these lines are the pro duction of no ordinary mind, to which every one will readily assent. The picture was un doubtedly suggested by one of the finest passa ges in Hamlet; but the thoughts are happily conceived and elegantly expressed. ,Y. 1". Statesman. A FRAGMENT, found iir a skeleton cask. Behold this ruin ! ’Twas a scull, Once of ethereal spirit full! That narrow cell- was lift’s retreat! This space was Thought’s mysterious seat! What beauteous pictures filled this spot! What dreams of pleasure long forgot! Nor Love, nor Joy, nor Hope, nor Fear, Has left one trace or record here. Beneath this mouldering canopy Once shone the bright and busy eye— But start not at the dismal void ! If social love that eye employ ed, If with no lawless fire it gleamed, But through the dew of kiudness beamed. That eye shall be forever bright, When stars and suns have lost their light Here in this silent cavern hung That ready, swift, and tuneful tongue,* If falsehood’s honey it disdain’d, And where it could not praise, was chained : If bold in virtue’s cause it spoke, Yet geufle concord never broke : That tuneful tongue shall plead for thee, When death unveils eternity ! Say, did these fingers delve the mine, Or with its envied rubies shine ? To hew the rock or wear the gem, Can nothing now avail to them; But if the page of truth they sought, Or comtort to the mourner brought, Thes§ hands a richer rueed shall claim Than all that waits on wealth or fame. Avails it whether, bare or shod, These feet the path of duty (rod ? If from the bowers of joy they fled, To soothe affliction’s- humble bed ; If grandeur’s guilty bribe they- spurn’d, And home to virtue’s lap returned ; These-feet with angel’s wiugs shall vie, And tread the palace of the sky ! * u Thai scull had a tongue in it, and could cing.” Hamlet. MISCELLANY. From Woodworth’s Literary Casket. Recollections of a Soldier's Daughter. At the commencement of the revolution ary war, my father had attained the age, when the mind yields most easily to the passion for military glory, and he was among the first who were enrolled under the banner of American liberty'. The sentiment of freedom was electrick, and no age or sex was pxempt from its in fluence. The fond mother, who had shrunk from exposing the darling of her bosom to the slightest personal danger, now beheld, with proud satisfaction, that son decorated with the knapsack her own hand had wrought, and cheerfully resigned him to the call of patriotism. Thus do the sentiments of freedom ele vate the mind above its ordinary exertions, and call forth the latent energies of soul, that have immortalized a Cornelia. My venerable grandsire, whom I can just remember as an old man with snowy locks, who used to pacify my infant clam ours with tales of military prowess, was of ten heard to boast that he led five sons to the battle of Bunker Hill. The third of these sons was he from whom I inherited that spirit of patriotism, which has accompanied me through life. With feelings which neither time nor sor row can obliteraie, I leview (he scenes of my childhood, and while mv brave parent, bending with age and infirmity, is verging to the grave, a desire tosnatch his memory from oblivion prompts ine to record the fol lowing detail. Some of the brightest years of my exis tence were passed in the vicinity of Bunker HrH, and I was early taught to venerate that spot as connected with a display of that magnanimous irtue. It was to that spot my gallant father led his farail v of spright ly boys, and over the grave of Warren, in culcated lessons of heroism and virtue. Nor was I always excluded from the parly, . for though my father btlieved that nature , had designed me for a domestic!; sphere, he did not believe that an ardent love of liber (y and thorough estimation of its value, as purchased by the blood of my fathers, could unfit me for the discharge of the important duties which Providence has assigned to a woman. It was a fine morning in May, and nature seemed to have communicated her smile to the heart, and diffused a joyous serenity over ail its feelings, when my three little brothers and myself received the welcome Summons to prepare to attend our parent on his morning excursion. “ Whither shall we walk?” said he, as we sallied forth with all the eagerness of childhood—“To Bun ker Hill,” was the spontaneous reply of ev-1 ery little voice, and to Bunker Hill my fa ther led the way. Days of artless innocence, alas! ye are fled forever. Never can I recall the spor tive hilarity with w hich we lightly bounded over the adjacent fields, never regain the innocent gnifty and improvident lightness of heart that, under present enjoyment, shut the future from my view. Yet mem ory, busy memory, oft retards the flowery way, and in the visioos of the pact loses the sense of the present, and the anticipa tions of the fulure. With that buoyancy of spirit which refu ges to yield to weariness, we climbed the ascent, and found ourselves on the summit, from whence we were presented with a view of the whole .peninsula, with the bay and harbour of Boston. My father pointed out the relative position of the armies, and entered into a minute detail of event*,] which abler historian* have recorded:! they will not therefore occupy a place in this narration. His own personal adventure, and narrow escape frem a living grave, are all that fil- piety will justify this feeble attempt to perpetuate. “ Pray papa,” said my oldest brother, was it here that you received that ugly i wound that had nearly cost you your life f’; “ It was on this very spot, my son, behind this breast-work—hut the story is long— you must have patience, and let me com-; (uriice at the beginning.” Each little heart beat high with expecta- 1 turn, and mutually promising profound at tention, we listened to the following tale.’ “ V ou see that narrow speck of land yon der that unites the peninsula of Charles town to the adjacent country. Over that isthmus, it became tr.y duty to lead the lit tle band under my command, (o join the main army, in the intrenchment, where we now stand. You see how it is exposed to water—well, there lay the Glasgow frigate, which kept up a continual lire of shot and bombs across that pass, while several float ing batteries, and the fortification on Copps’ Hill, endeavoured (o annoy the troops on the hill, and drive them from the en trenchment. “My little hand had each Ihe spirit of a Leonidas; Dot a murmur was heard when I ordered them to attempt gaining the hill, by running singly across the dangerous pass. The first who attempted was my poor drummer, who was killed not five pa ces from me; but the next not at all deter red !>v the fate of his comrade, commenced Ihe race, and got over in safely. l n like manner most of our lieroick hand succee ded, and one honest fellow, as he bowed to ihe word of command, thus addressed me : “ Captain, 1 see it is close dodging, but lei tne once get safely over, and I’ll spend my hearths last drop for you, and bring you off again, dead nr alive, ihat I will.” “ This honest fellow was a native of Ire land, and about six months previous was confined for debt in the prison of Salem, whence I released him on condition that he would and never man was blessed with n more devoted friend than Murphy MVullock proved to me. “ I was the last to make the adventu- rous attempt, and though the balls shower ed about my hpad, none were permitted to touch me, and we gained the intrenchme.nt, and passed into the line of battle. “On this spot as near as I could recol lect, I stood, and endeavoured to do my du ty a6 a soldier of liberty. 1 received a hall through the calf of my leg, and another through my left shoulder, but these were mere trifles, and 1 stood my ground in spite of them. “ The gallant and generous Warren was on horseback, pressing from one end of the line to the other, animating the troops to a vigorous defence, and every heart hailed him with love and gratitude. “ He had ever distinguished me with pe culiar marks of friendship, and ns he passed the spot where F stood, he condescended to address me with words of cordial recog nition. 1 know not whether any historian has recorded the last words of that hero, but believed they were addressed to myself, “ My young friend, (said he, as he turned to leave me) do your duty, for the salvation of our country depends on this day’s action.” “ He hud not moved ten paces before I taw him fall. At that moment a shell burst by my side, and 1 was thrown several feet into the air, and then precipitated violr al ly to the ground. A fragment of the brok en shell struck me in the breast, and caus ed a contusion of the sternum, and (he vio lent shock my whole system sustained, took from me the power of motion. “ Blood gushed from my mouth, nose and ears, and I lay covered with dust, unable to speak or move, but for some time perfect!) conscious. “ 1 remember to have heard Col. B who was my father’s friend, exclaim, Wil liam is dead then ! well, he died like a soldier.” “ 1 felt the pressure of his hand upon my forehead, as he leaned over m<‘, “ he’s gone! poor fellow! biit I’ll take bis sword —the regulars “hall never get that.” “ This sword was a present from Warren, and though in that awful moment, my soul seemed fluttering on the verge of eternity, it gave, me inexpressible pleasure, to find that the gift of friendship was likely to be preserved. “ A faintness now came over me, and I heard no more, and for what succeeded I am indebted to the observation of Col. Ft . “The Americans fought with determina tion and bravery until iheir last round of ammunition was expended, and they were relucttHUJy compelled to retreat. My poor Irish soldier actuated by a sentiment that should immortalize his name, now declared that the British should never have his Cap tain, alive cr deatfl ” He sought among the slain for (fie breathless form of one he lov ed, and at last recognized the object of his search, among a heap of human bodies, whichwome resolute soldiers, where the breast-work happened to be too high, bad piled up to stand on. He bore the inani mate body on his shoulder from the scene of carnage ; but unable, thus loaded, to keep up with his companions, a shot from the pursuers terminated his life, when the main body of the retr'eating army was out danger. “ Some friends who knew os, passing l immediately after, thought they discovered i in me signs of returning life, and by their means I was conveyed to the hospital.” By this time the little auditors were in tears, and even Warren was awhile forgot ten in admiration of the fidelity of the Irish soldier. My father, though n brave man, and a soldier, wept—and though the lapse of 20 76 [years ha* presented new and varied ob jects to my miud, I am not ashamed that a kindred tear has blotted the page tlmt re cords his story. Recovering his usual composure, and addressing himself particularly to me, my father thus continued: What follows is an example of female he roism and tenderness, which, if recorded ,on the page af history, might form a coun , terpart to the story of the Roman mother, who died from the effect of joyful surprise,! when her son, whom she thought dead was ] restored to her arms. I “My mother received the news that her] ! darling had fallen io battle,— 6nt shed no tears. Her son had done his duly, ant) what more in these times of peril, could a virtu ous mother desire ? Agreeably to the prim itive custom oFour fathers, the whole fami ly appeared at church the next Sabbath, clothed in the habiliments of sorrow, and in the note which the minister read for the deceased, was an expression of triumph that he had fallen for liberty. “ The next morning as my mother sal by the window, intently watching some little shrubbery which the hand of her de parted child had planted, she discovered through the vista of the trees that embow ered oor peaceful dwelling, a biter slowly winding along the road. “ The hope of being able to afford relief or refreshment to a wounded soldier, drew my mother to the little gate Ihat separated her own cultivated lawn from the highway. “ YViil you stop and rest ?” said she to thp man who conducted the litter—“ We. go oo father,” was the reply. She heard no more. The truth flashed across her mind, and she fainted. “ Long and tenderly was I nursed by thal heroick woman, and though she sympathis ed in every pain I fell, she never breathed a regret for the part i had acted ; and when I was again aide to join my regiment, she mingled with her parting blessing a fer vent prayer that all her children might prefer death to slavery.” Such was my father’s tale—could I hear it and ever forget that 1 am a Soldier’s Daughter ? Never, never. Recollections of patriotism are impressed on every page ot my existence, and sentiments of freedom twined witlrevery fibre of my heart. Sadly as the tenor of my days have pass- ed. and sorely as the storms of sorrow have beaten on my head, there are hours when the tide of impetuous feeling rushes back to the scenes ut my infancy, and finds in tracing the lessons of parental love, a kind of half oblivion to my cares. Then it is, that the spirit of my father glows with un diminished ardour, and it is my pride and boast that 1 am a SOLDIER’S DAUGHTER. Louis XVIII. has dismissed M. Tissot from the Professorship of Latin Poetry in the Royal College of France. Tissot is said to be the identical person who carried about the head ot the amiable Princess de Lam bfHe, who might have saved her life but for her devotion to the Queen. And it was no doubt in allusion to this circumstance that a gentleman in Paris, whom Tissot ac cused in heat of argument, of carrying his head very high, replied, “ Yes, sir, but be i so good as to remember it is my own head I carry. Gaming was invented by the Lydians, when under the pressure of great famine. To divert themselves Irom dwelling on their suffering-, they contrived dice, balls, tables, &c, It is added, that to bear their calamity the better, they used to play a whole day without interruption, that they might not be racked with the thoughts of food. T his invention, intended as a reme dy for hunger, is now a very common cause of that evil. THE INFLEXIBLE MAGISTRATE. In the year 1526, James Lynch Fitz Stephen, merchant, being ejected mayor of Galway, in Ireland, sent his only son, commander of one of his ships, to Bilboa, in Spain, for a cargo of wine. Former dealings at this place were the means of recommending his father’s credit, which yonng Lynch took the advantage of to secrete the mon ey for his own use which his father had intrusted him with for the cargo. The Spaniard who sup -1 ’lied him on this occasion, sent his nephew with him to I relaud, to receive the debt, and to estab lish a further correspondence. The young men, who were much of an age sailed together with that seeming satisfaction which congenial situa tions generally create among mankind. Open and generous, the Spaniard anticipated the plea sures he should enjoy with such a friend,in a place then remarkable for qualities which we are no longer to look for but in the narrative of other times. The ship proceeded on her voyage, and as every day must bring them nearer the place of destination, and discover the fraud intended by l.ynch, he conceived the diabolical resolution of throwing his friend overboard. After sounding’ the sentiments of the hands on board, he brought the major part of them to his purpose by promises of reward, and the rest by fear. On the night of the sth day, the unfortunate Spaniard was seized in his bed, and thrown orerboard. A few days more brought them to port. Lynch’s father and friends received him with joy, aud in a short time bestowed on him a,, sufficient capital to set him up in business. Security had lulled every sense of danger, and Lynch proposed himself to a beautiful girl, the daughter of a neighbour, in marriage ; his terms were accepted, and the day appointed which was to crown his yet successful villany, when one of the sailors, who had been with him on his voyage to Spain, w„s taken ill, and finding himself at the point of death, sent for the father, and communi cated a full relation of the horrid deed his son had committed on the high seas. The father though struck speechless with astonishment and grief, at length shook off the feelings which in cline the parent to natural partiality : “Justice I shall take its course,” said the indignant magis | tratc, and he in a few minutes had his son seized with the rest of the crew, and thrown into prison. They all confessed the crime ; a criminal process was made out against them, and is a few days a small town in the west of Ireland beheld a sight paralleled by very few instances in the history of mankind—a father sitting in judgment, like an other Lucius Junius Brutus, on his own son, and, like him too, condemning him to die as a sacri fice to publick justice. “ Were any other but yout wretched father your judge, (said the inflex ible magistrate) I might drop a tear over my child’s misfortunes, and solicit for Ins life, though stained with murder—but you must die. These are the last drops which shall quench the sparks of na ture, and if you dare hope, implore that heaven may uot shut the gates of mercy on the destroyer of his fellow creature.” He was led back to prison, and a short time ap pointed for his execution. Amazement sat on the face of every one within this little community, which at most, did not consist of more than three thousand people. The relations of the unhappy culprit surrounded the father; they conjured him : by all the solicitude of nature and compassion to ; spare his son. His wretched mother, whose fatu i ily name was Blake, flew in distraction to the j beads of her own family, and at length prevailed j ou them for the honour of their house, to rescue her front the ignominy his death must bring on their name, t hey armed to deliver him from prison, w hen his father, being informed of their in tention, had him conveyed to his own house, which he surrounded with the officers of justice. He made the executioner fasten the rope to his neck. “ You have but little time to live, my son, (said he ;) let the care of your soul employ the lew moments ; take the last embrace of your un happy father.” He then ordered the rope to be well secured to a window, and compelled the constables to throw the body ont ; a few minutes put au end to the sou’s existence. Under the window in Lombard-street, to this day, a skull and bones carved in black marble, are to be seen, which the father put as a memento inori. Succeeding times look upon such an act with astonishment, which the production of the arts in this country should perpetuate with statues. ANECDOTE OF FRANKLIN. Dr. Franklin was once a member of a body in which it w as contended that a certain amount of property (fifty dollars we think) should be re quired as a qualification for voting. The doctor was opposed to it. “ Today,” said he, “ a man owns a Jackass worth fifty dollars, and he is enti tled to a vote ; but before the next election the Jackass dies. Ihe man, in the mean time lias become more experienced ; his knowledge of the principles of government, and his acquaintance with mankind, are more extensive, and he is, therefore, better qualified to make a proper se lection of rulers—but the Jackass is dead, and the man cannot vote. Now, gentlemen,” said he, addressing himself to the advocates of that qualification, pray inform me in whom is the right of suffrage, in the man or in the Jackass /” A late number of tht Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal relates a case of tetanus or lock jaw, cured by a large quautity of tincture of opi um (laudanum) administered by mistake. An embrocation, consisting of two ounces and a half of laudanum, and two drachms of camphorated spirit and as much ether, was intended to be rub bed on the breast by the table spoonful an hour, while a purgative electuary was at the same time to be given internally by the table spoonful.— Through a mistake the prescriptions were revers ed, and a surprising cure was effected in a short time.

It appeared in evidence that he was mar ried in 1811 to Elizabeth Person—that he left his family in 1818 at Townsend, and took up his res idence at south Boston as a house carpenter, hav irisr as an apprentice a young itfhn of about 17 or 18 years of age, whom he called Peter— they boarded together from time to time at different places, occupied one room and oue bed—work ed together at repairing houses, at which, as re marked by one of the witnesses, “ Peter was the better man of the two.” Id Sept. 1820, a pre-] cept was served upon him by C. P. Sumner, Esq. Deputy Sheriff, citing him to appear at the Su preme Judicial Court of Middlesex, to answer to ; a libel for a divorce, setting forth that he had at ‘ divers times committed adultery with one —r-. I hen, for the first time,it became known that tbe beardless apprentice who had long been the gal lant of the neighbourhood, was a female. The deception practised upon the people for so long a time produced so considerable an excitement that but for the kindness of a few individuals, she would have been stripped in the road. She was, however, protected, acknowledged her sex, read ily assented to put on her proper garments, and to return to her parents who reside in Vermont. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. It did not appear in evidence, but it is said that the girl once boarded in the prisoner’s family— that be seduced her, and compelled her by threats to assume the dress and character of a young man, and that he treated her ill—that she appear ed very penitent, and has since her return to her parents conducted with great propriety, and ex pressed her gratitude to these who advised and assisted her. Some laughable occurences were related in the course of the trial. One witness testified that Peter was the beau of the village, & once drove a party of girls on a sleighing frolick ! He was remarked for his activity, he mounted ladders with adroitness, and discovered conside rable skill in the labours of his avocation. A female dress was found in her trunk. The Franklin Gazette, after speaking of the late piracies on our coast at the South, and the calls which are made upon the government to send forth our armed vessels and bring the robbers to justice, very pertinently remarks, that “ it is to be hoped those who cry out for catching the free hooters will not tease the President to pardon them after they have been caught and convicted, as on some former occasions.”—JV.
