ON PRINTING.
Hail, mighty Art ! enthusiasts oft with pride,
Boldly affirm thy origin divine :
Fair Science owns thee her support and guide,
And points to FRANKLIN as her son and thine!
Thee, first and best of Arts we well may call,
Tbou friend and great preserver of them all.
Doubtless to man his great Creator taught
To trace the enduring transcript of the mind,
To frame sure symbols of his Heeling thought,
And mntely eloquent instruct mankind.
Bound by no limits, and unharm’d by time,
The noiseless accents spread through every clime.
Unt long their use was circumscrib'd and slow,
With tedious labour grew the written page ;
A faithful picture where unfeeling glow
The “form and pressure” of the earliest age ;
A magick mirror, which, while time shall last,
Will still reflect the image of the past.
But PRINTING last arose—and swift as thought,
To every eye the ample page unfurl’d ;
A fulcrum great as Archimedes sought,
She prov’d—and quickly shook the moral
world.
Barbarian arms hurl’d ancient Rome to dust,
But she o’erthrew the second—and the worst !
The pious Missionary marches forth,
To fight the sacred battles of (he Lord,
Nor like the miirhtjruu.rrL->.. <i~. —'**,
Tb martial panoply with spear and sword.
No ! he goes forth his fellow man to bless,
His only arms the Bible and the Press.
In heathen climes where superstition sways
O'er man’s degraded head her Circean rod,
Aided by thee, the holy man essays
To combat Satan with the Word of God :
Whilst ttiou unfold'st the Christian pilgrim's chart.
Aud grav’st Jehovah’s statutes on the heart.
The mightiest tyrants tremble at thy power,
And dread thee more than hosts cf marshall’d
men,
Whilst vice and folly in thy presence cower,
And shrink in darkness from tby piercing ken.
Thy voice can rouse a nation from repose,
To crush ambition and insidious foes.
But grateful freedom owns thee as her pride,
Columbia greets thee, guardian of her laws ;
for thou alone can’s! spread instruction wide,
The nurse of virtue, prop of freedom’s cause.
Illustrious Art! long flourish wide arid free,
For life owes half its sweetest charm? to thee.
MISCELLANY.
Fromlht Portland (.Name) Statesman,
MICHAEL BURN.
Among: the numerous bland? in Casco
Bay, there are few indeed which at present
contain more than a single dwelling; yet,
a century ago the traveller would have
been cheered with the mingled hum of bu
riness and of pleasure ; anil could have res
ted beneath many a hospitable roof, the ru
ins of which are now scarcely visible.
They were formerly inhabited by fisher
men, but on account of the frequent attack?
of the Indians, these huts were abandoned,
and being of slight materials, soon sunk in
decay. Near one of these ruins and not far
from Diamond Cove, is the grave of Mi
chael Burn —an occurrence while be resi
ded there should rescue his name from ob
livion.
One evening as he sat at the door of his
hnt, listening to the waves which broke on
the rock- that surrounded him ; his dog,
who was lying at his feet, suddenly sprang
up, and darting towards a projecting ciiS',
plunged into the water, Ttie fishernw
presumi ig from his earnest manner that
something more than ordinary trad attracted
his attention, hastened to the spot fron
which the animal had leaped; but the nigh
was toa dark to discover either the dog i
tl\e object of his pursuit, and the murine,
of the naves prevented hi? ascertaining
eveu his direction. Having for some litre
awaited his return, in vain, and supposing
at last he was in the fruitless chase of
some seals which frequently made their ap
pearnnee, he retired. Scarcely however
had be sought his pillow, when the well
known bark and a scratching at the door
announced not only his return, but anxiety
for hi? master's presence. He opened the
doer ; the dog whined, pulled him gent!;,
as if wishing hitn to follow and suddenly
left bim. _ ~.., ... „
Having lighted nis lantern Tie leR th<
the dog hy hi barking directing the
path ; but on approaching the shore, judg ’
of hi? surprise to find by his faithful animal
a human being and to all appearance a
corpse. It was evident that the dog had
just drawn him from the water, but there
were no marks of violence on his person.
He opened hi? waistcoat—the body wasyei
jvarm; and filled with the hope of restor
ing animation he bore it to his hut. Hi?
exertions were not in vain. In a short
time the stranger gave signs of returning
life, and by the next morning he was ena
abled to converse with his generous pre
server.
You probably recollect sard (he stranger,
of seeing yesterday a vessel near your har
bour. jln that vessel it was my misfortune
to have been a passenger; heaven grant
that the loved being I have left there has
nol fallen a victim lo perfidy and iograti-
tuiln. lam a native of America, but have
resided for some years in France, where I
dcqtiitoil a considerable fortune. Desirous
cfS] ending- my last days in the land of my;
fathers, I converted all my property into
specie and with a young and adored wife
embarked in this vessel. The master and
crew I hail loaded with presents, but this
only served to increase their rapacity. I
had no feara eithor for my life or property;
! filial Meority f last night theft diabolical
plan* for the destruction of both were put
in execution. 1 was alone on the quarter
deck when a deep groan causing me to turn,
I beheld one of the passengers struck down
with an axe as he was approaching to join
me. The ruffians with horrid yells rushed
forward to secure a second victim ; but
(hough nearly overpowered by my sensa
tions, l was enabled to reach the taffrel and
dropped into the sea. ,
The darkness of the night, the presump
tion that I could not reach land, and above
all the work of death which was still un
finished, prevented pursuit, and I made an
| effort to float, trusting in Providence for
Imy guide. But what was life ? The being
for whom 1 wished to live was deserted at
the moment she most needed my assistance.
The shrieks of the dying broke upon my
ear, and 1 fancied I could distinguish the
voice of my wife imploring mercy. The
thought was agony. Three times 1 attempt
ed to regain the ship but in vain, she was.
f;jsl receding: at last, regardless of my fate,
1 biurmured at that being who had upheld
me. I desired death, and ceased my exer
tions in order to hasten its approach. From
that moment till 1 revived in your dwelling,
reason left me. The humane fisherman
did all he could to comfort the hapless suf
ferer The consolations of religion were
freely offered, and he taught him subtnis
sion to the Divine wili—to Him from whom
he had already received such manifold mer
cies. 1 have no doubt, he continued, but
that they will soon land, in ‘be vicinity to
rr <U|J let IlltiuljTC itlC
hope that these outcasts of society will o
brought to justice, and you restored to the
partner of your bom.
Animated with this idea, the fisherman
ro?e and approached the window, and as
he had anticipated, the vessel was distinct
ly seen standing in for the shore. Not a
moment was to he lost. Raising the stran
ger in his arm? he carried him to hi -kits.
and rowing him round a steep bluff which
screened them from observation, he placed
him in a cave retired and secure, lie then
hastened to some huts a few miles distant,
informed the inhabitants ofthe bloody trnns- i
actions of the past niffht, and conjured them j
if they were not destitute of courage anil’
humanity to aid him in boarding tho vessel j
which was now a! anchor. A small but d■- j
termined hand wa immediately collected,
and uoder the direction of the fisherman,
they advanced with caution towards his
humble dwelling. Providence smiled on
their endeavours. They crept to the brow
of a crag beneath which the pirates were
spated dividing the money of the stranger,
and watching their opportunity, sprang up
on them. The confusion of guiii, and
above all the intoxicating draught, render
ed them an easy conquest, and they were
carefully secured to await the punishment
-hie to their crimes. The fisherman and
his comrades then rowed off for the vessel,
and tears of joy bedewed his weather beat
en face on finding that the wife of hi? guest
had ecaped uninjured. When he descen
ded into the cabin, she first seemed uncon
scious of his approach, so much had her
senses been overpowered hy the late scenes
of horrour. When at length she aroused
from the stupor in which he had found her,
she informed him that she remained the
only surviver of those who had taken pas
sage in the vessel; and O ! she exclaimed,
that I could share their fate. To me far
more welcome the watery grave of my
husband, than what 1 hourly fear, the em
brace of his murderer. For some moments
the tears of the fair and disconsolate mourn
er unmanned our generous fisherman ; but
at length collecting himself he hid her not
despair, that the objects of her terror were
beyond the power of injury, and that though
separated from one she loved, she should
never want a protector while he had a sin
gle arm to raise in her defence. Rut, he
continued, perhaps your husband may ho
s’ ill alive. Some of the prssengers havp
been picked up severely wounded indeed, I
‘■lit no* beyond the hope of recovery; at last
or gradually unfolded to her the happiness;
that was in tore. % But with ail his caution,
nature sunk tinder the excess of emotion ;!
ind he trembled lest all his labours should
neve oepn bestowed in vain.
Their joy at meeting no pen can ade
quately describe. Suffice it to say-, that af
ter kneeling to that Being who had restor
ed them as it were to life; their first Care
wi the welfare of tho fisherman. A sum
efficient to render hirn independent was
mmediately bestowed, and the only return
hey requested was, that they might retain
iH.e dog who had been so instrumental in
rodurtng mi? joyous merun 5 . Rm here
‘ho fisherman pleaded in turn. He eid!
:hat his reward had been greater than his
labours deserved or his heart desired He
tioped they would not charge him with in
gratitude; but the dog he said, patting him
m the face, had been his only companion
during the long and dreary winters he. had
passed among those rocks—that there was
no other living creature whom he could
call friend, —and in fine, rather than part
with one so faithful, he would return their
bounty ; preferring his hut,’ his poverty and
his dog, to wealth and solitude. Yon shall
not part, said the stranger, and sorry 1 am
to have given a moment’s pain to a heart
so feeling. Take this, said he, presenting
a large addition to his former donation ;
and if it be more than sufficient for yonr
own wants, I know it will he employed as
all wealth ought to be—in alleviating the
distresses of your bellow beings.
DUELLING.
The manner of duelling in Japan is singular,
I but quite as rational as an appeal to the sword or
i pistol. When two men of honour quarrel in that
country, the party who conceives himself injured
rips up his own entrails with a large knife, and
presenting the instrument to his adversary, in
vites him to follow his example. No Japanese
gentleman can decline such an invitation, for if he
does not instantly plunge the knife into his owa
bowels, he it dishonoured for life.

At the timg when (M art was invented,
Harlega was*surrounded with beautitul
woods, wbicWthe principal citizens made a
practice of foiquenting daily in fair weath
er, after dintqr, for pleasure and recrea
tion, and particularly Laurence Roster,who,
from his youtj had a taste for engraving,
and often visted the workshops of such
mecbnnick? aithat place, with a view ot
imbibing a knowledge of the art. In one
of his wandeiyigs in the woods, Mr. Roster
took a piece of oak or bass wood, and hav
ing smoothed I, cut certain letters there
on, with his knife, and wrapping a paper
around it, put it in his pocket. Whether,
from his afterwards sitting on moist ground,
or from getting into a perspiration tending
to communicate moisture from the wood to
the paper wrapped in his pocket, was not
ascertained ; but so it was, that when he
took the wood and wrapper from his pock
et he found the letters te had cut in the
wood impressed on the paper. He then
made sew experiments, and having found
them successful, he improved on the art by
finally making letters of a harder substance
—and thus, by being enabled to sell books
cheaper titan those who hid only manu
script, he made immense suras of monoy.—
But he met with a misfortune which ruined
bi? business. A servant in hi? employ nam
ed Jan Fnuetus, after having sufficient ex-
perience of the art which his master bad
taught him, both of reading and making
l tiers, embraced the opportunity when
Rosier was at church with bis whole fami
ly on Christmas dry, to pack up and steal
the chief part of he type foundery, and fled
therewith to Mentz, where he opened a
priming office in company with one John
Van Guttenherg, a. goldsmith of Strals
bnrgh ; and from thence all Europe and the
world derived the iurtber knowledge of
tins art. When poster returned from
churcn, and found his shop thus plundered,
he is stated to have leen much distressed ;
and being a man of wealth and far advanced
in year*, he never attempted to repair his
office.

CORBETT.
I The notorious Cobbett, .and a respecta
ble Quaker merchant, Mr. Cropper, of Liv
erpool, are at issue upon the subject of
slavery in the West and East Indies. Mr.
Cropper is one of those who advocate the
encouragement of the East India trade, in
which he is opposed by Cobbett, by whom
he is, as usual, overwhelmed with a torreut
of abuse. Wegivc the following observa
tions to show the shameless manner in
which this political Pioteu9 advances the
most palpable falsehoods : Sav. pep.
Upon my word, friend Cropper, ynur’s
is a strange sort of wist; that of seeing an
abolition of slavery, and that of seeing the
number of slaves increast at the same timp !
| But your broad-brimmei beaver di-gnised
this from yon, while you were looking so
sharply about for a contrast to support your
calumny on the West India planters. Dis
missing this foolery, therefore, let us come
to the fact You say that a friend has told
yon, that the planters in America told him,
that they, (good kind fouls !) worked their
slaves less hard than formerly. Now I as
sert without any qualification, that compar
ed W'th *he West India treatment of slaves,
that of America is brutal in the extreme !
and thai things are done there with regard
to slave-, and cruelties committed on slaves,
that would make even a Scotch negro-dri
v. r, in the West Indies, shudder with hor
rour ! Nay, that the. free negroes in the U.
Stat— are treated in a way, and that with
perfect impunity, too, which would cause
the perpetrator to he brought home from
the West Indies and banged at the Old
Bailey, amidst the applause of th multi
tude.”
Verily friend Cobbelt (we use one of his
favourite expressions) “ thou liest /” What
will he say when he learns the fact, that
after a warm debate in one of the most dis
tinguished assemblies of the union, their
advocates have obtained such an ascendency
as to give them rights and privileges gratis,
for which a white citizen has to render ser
vice.
LIKENESS OF A BALL ROOM.
“ Here all is show, and varnish, anil hypocrisy,
and coquetry ; they dres9 up their moral charac
ter for the evening at the same toilet where they
manufacture their shape* and faces. 11l temper
lies burifed under a studied accumulation of smiles.
Envy, hatred and malice, retreat from the coun
tenance to intrench themselies more deeply in
the heart. Treachery lurks under the flowers of
courtesy. Ignorance and follj take refuge in
that unmeaning gabble, which it would be profa
nation to call language ; and which even those,
whom long experience in the “ dreary intercourse
of daily life,” has screwed up to such a pitch of
stoical endurance, that they can listen to it by
the hour, have branded with the ingnominious
appellation of “ small talk,"— small indeed ! the
absolute minimum of tho infinitely little. A ball
room is an epitome of all that is most worthless
and unamiable in the great sphere es human life.
Every petty and malignant pfission is called
into play. Coquetry is perpetually an the alert
to captivate, to mortify, and ranityrto take of
fence. One amiable female is rendered misera
ble for the evening by seeing another whom she
intended to outshine, in a ipore attractive dress
than her own, while the othet omits no methods
of giving strings to her triumph, which she enjoys
with all the secret arrogaucl of an Oriental sulta
na. Another is coapelledTo dance with a mon
ster she abhors. A third. Mis set her heart on
dancing with a particular partifer, perhaps for the
amiable motive of annoying pne of her dearfriends
—not only he does not astt her but ke sees him
dancing with the identical dear friend whom front
that moment she hates more cordially than ever.
Perhaps, what is worse than all, she has set her
heart on refusing some impertinent fop, who does
not give her the opportunity. As to the men, the
case is very nearly the same with them. I’o lie
sure they have the privilege of making the first
advances, and are, therefore, less liable to have
an odious partner imposed upon them, though
this sometimes happens, a? i know by woful ex
perience : but it is seldom they can procure the
very partner they prefer, aud when they do, the
ahsord necessity of changing every two dances
forces them away, and leaves them only the mis
erable alternative of taking up with something,
disagreeable perhaps in itself, and at all events
rendered so by contract, or of retreating into some
solitary corner, tl* vent their spleen on the first
idle coxcomb they can find.”
ANECDOTES.
When Dr. Jidmsou was exasperated by con
tradiction, he was apt to treat his opponents with
too much acrimony ; as, Sir, you don’t see your
way through that question—Sir, you talk the lan
guage of ignorance,” &c. On Dr. Maxwell ob
serving to him that a certain gentleman had re
mained silent the whole evening, in the midst of
a very brilliant and learned society, u fcir, (said
h'e) the conversation overflowed, and droumtd

Philip of Macedon being on the Spartan frontier,
wrote to the citizens to know if lie should come
as a friend or an enemy f The laconick answer
was, neither.
A number ofbill* being brought into the house
of commons for canals in various parts of the
kiugdoiu, Mr. Courtenay objected to them all,
and being asked his reason, said, if we went on

children to confine themselves to a fish diet, and
it would he proper they should be web-footed, and
learn ,0 swim, for thoru would not au more of

I will save yon a thousand pounds, says an Irish
gentleman to an old man, if you don’t stand in

Improvement in Fire arms. — We were yester
day favoured with a sight of a Pistol with a slid
ing lock, capable of discharging five successive
charges without the time or trouble of priming or
loading. If is both ingenious and simple. Any
musket or fowling piece may, at a small expense,
be furnished with tliis sliding lock. The piece
may be constructed for six charges within the
convenient reach of the sportsman, who by a dis
charge, has the piece primed from a valve con
taining powder enough for 16 primings, by the
operation of cocking for each successive firing.
The wadding is of leather, prepared by a punch

Whooping Cough. —Dr. Archer, an able and
experienced physician, in addressing Dr. Mitchell
relative to the cure for the whooping cough by
vaccination,says, “ 1 have vaccinated six or eight
patients that had the whooping cough, and in
every case it has succeeded in curing this most
distressing disease The whooping cough does
not come to its height in less than six weeks from
its commencement, and then, when a favourable
termination is expected, the declension of the
disease is gradual, and it does not terminate in
less than six weeks more. To arrest this afflict
ing disorder in its progress, I would recommend
vaccination in the second or third week of the
whooping cough, i. e. when the symptoms of the
whooping cough are fully ascertained, then to
vaccinate. Should the convulsive cough be vio
lent, I should immediately- vccinate, being well
assured that the distressing symptoms of the
whooping cough are checked hy vaccine disease.
The termination of the vaccine disease will be the
termination of the whooping cough.”
