From, anew Poem entitled, “ The Widow of the

If, with the tender maternal affection expressed
in the following piece, the hope is connected that
the unfortunate female was a penitent and a be*

love of a mother with the penitence and lively

The Female Convict's Address to her Infant.
Ob sleep not, my babe, for the morn of to-mor
row
Shall soothe me to slumber more tranquil than
thine ;
The dark grave shall shield me from shame and
from sorrow,
Though the deeds and the doom of the guilty
are mine.
Not long shall the arm of affection enfold thee,
Not long sh< thou hang on thy mother's fond
breast ;
And who with the eye of delight shall behold thee
And watch thee, and guard thee when l am at
rest!
And yet doth it grieve me to wake thee niy dear
est,
The pangs of thy desolate mother to see ;
Thou wilt weep when tire clank of my cold chain
thou hearest,
And none but the guilty should mourn over me.
And yet I must wake thee—for while thou art
weeping,
To calm thee I stifle ray tears for a while ;
But thou smils’t in thy dreams, while thus placid
ly sleeping,
And oh 1 how it wounds me to gaze on thy smile.
Alas, my sweet babe, with what pride had I prest
thee,
To the bosom that now throbs with terror and
shame,
If the pure tie of virtuous affection had blest thee,
And hail’d thee the heir of thy father’s high
name ?
But now—with remorse that avails not—l mourn
thee,
Forsaken and friendless as soon thou wilt be,
In a world, if they cannot betray, that will scorn
thee,
Avenging the guilt of thy mother on thee.
And when the dark thought of my fate shall
awaken
The Jeep blush of shame on thy innocent cheek,
When by all but the Ood of the orphan forsaken,
A home and a father in vain thou shalt seek :
1 know that the base world will seek to deceive
thee
With falsehood like that which thy mother be
guil’d,
Deserted and helpless—to whom can I leave thee ?
Oh ! God of the fatherless —pity my child !
MISCELLNAY.
From the Lexington Publick Advertiser.
On th*> 10th int. 1 was ar a dinner given
by Mr. Dalrymple, at his own house. It
was Mr. Dairvmple's birth day and on
which he had arrived at the 70th year ofj
his age. The invitation had bpen general 1
to all his neighbours and acquaintances;
and from the great respect iD which he was
held by all who knew him, the concourse
was very great indeed. It was but a short
time before dinner that I reached Mr. Dal
rymple’s ; from which time until dinner
was announced, no kind of refreshment
whatever was offered to the company.
About one o’clock Mr. Dalrymple inform
ed the company that dinner was ready, and
invited them to follow him. He conduct
ed us into a very large shed, with rough
walls, lathed and tilled with mortar, an
earlhern floor, but ceiled above; in this
sb< (4 me dinner table was set.
The dinner consisted of bacon, greens,
and hominy principally, with coarse hoe
cake and Johnny-cake bread, made of corn
meal. The bacon and greens were serv
ed up in large turned wooden dishes or
platters : and the plates were of the same
kind of manufacture. At short intervals
on the table stood wooden cans with water
in them. The knives and forks were of
the coarsest kind. The table was of oak
wood, clean scoured—but there was no ta
ble cloth—the seats were benches and
thrpe legged stools; no servant attended the
table, nor was it necessary; for every thing
intended to be used at dinner was on it.
Mr. Dalrymple invited his guests to sit
down, and when they were seated he ask
ed a hlessing and then pressed them to help
themselves, to such as was before them ;
and by way of example to the rest,he help
ed himscdf.
The company stared at each other, and
then at Mr. Dalrymple, and secretly cursed
him and his dinner in their hearts ; but
from the great respect they had for him,
said nothing, but helped themselves to some
small part of the dinner.
As soon as the guests began to eat,which
they did merely out of respect, Mr. D.
gave a signal by blowing a small gourd,
when in rushed half a dozen servants clean
dressed, in course homespun cloth, who
laid hold of the table and all that was on it,
and instantly run out of the shed, and re
turned with a neat, plain walnut table,with
a clean but coarse linen cloth, and an ex
cellent dinner, in pewter dishes, all bright
and clean ; the dinnerconsisted of excellent
ham, roast beef, lamb, shoat and fowls,
with vegetables of the best kind, and well
Cooked ; bright pewter plates, with good
buck-horn knives and forks now supplied
the place of wooden ones—and instead
of wooden cans, were placed on the table
at proper intervals, small stone pitchers,
filled with excellent parcimmon beer, or
cider, within the reach of each seat.
TSie stools and benches were also removed
mad fheir places supplied with plain flag
bottomed chairs.
This transtormatioo of the (able anti ils
furniture, not only dissipated the chagrin
visible in the countenances of the guests;
but excited their appetites, so that they
dined plentifully, as there was a great va
riety of choice meats and vegetables on the
table.
When Mr. Dalrymple discovered that
the company had dined, he gave another
signal with bis gourd, and immediately two
dozen French waiters rushed into the room,
drest in livery, clean shaved and profusely
powdered. Out went the walnut table
with its contents, and the whole furniture
of the room. The floor was instantly cov
ered with a rich Turkey carpet, and the
walls with fine silk tapestry, and an elegant
mahogany table ami sideboard brought in.;
The table was covered with three of the
fiuest diaper clothes, and a most splendid
dessert, composed of the most fashionable
pastry of every description, sweet-meats
and fruits of the most choice kinds, served
up in fashionable plates, the finest china,
and superb cut crystal glass vessels;*
whilst the sideboard groaned under a pro-1
fusion of choice wines, cordials, strong wa- j
ters, &c. so that nothing was wanting to
tempt the palate or excite the appetite of
the greatest epicure.
Pleasure now beamed in every counte
nance, whilst the sparkling glass was emp
tied to the health of Mr. Dalrymple ; and
as the company appeared disposed to en
joy themselves, Mr. D. prepared to with
draw and leave ihow* froo r.*.►..>* ---
traint which is natural in the presence of
an old and respectable man. But before
he retired, he addressed them in substance
as follows :
My worthy friends—This i3 my birth
day, on which I number three score ami
ten years, which seems to have been con
sidered by the Psalmist as the limit of hu
man life. I cannot express the pleasure I
feel at seeing so large a collection of my
respectable friends and acquaintances on
the occasion ; and before 1 leave you, I
consider it a duty I owe to you as well as to
myself, to explain my conduct in the ar
rangement of this day’s entertainment ; and
especially that I may avoid the charge of
being under the capricious influence of old
age. It has been the practice of many
people at all times, ever since the period
of mv earliest recollection, to complain of
hard times anil a scarcity of money ; and as
1 never had experienced either myself, 1
conceived the project of convening my’
friends together on this day, and to demon
strate to them, by familiar examples, the
reason.
At the age 0f22 years I married an indus
trious young woman, and went to house
keeping : as we were both poor, we were
unable to procure better furniture than was
this day exhibited in the first course, (for
you must know it was a fundamental prin
ciple with me from the beginning, never to
owe even a penny, to which principle I
have scrupulously adhered during my
whole life.) By industry and frugality, we
were in a few years enabled to adopt that
style of living exhibited in the second
course, and which we have not changed
to the present time; for I never suffered
the example of others to influence my mode
of living, especially when it tended to af
fect my pecuniary concerns. In this man
ner have I spent nearly half a century,
happily with my family and friends, raised
and educated seven children, and furnished
them with means to begin the world, and
am now in possession of a competency, to
support me during the remainder of my life,
if managed with the same prudence that
has been observed in acquiring it. As 1
made it also a rule to spend less than my
annual income, every New-year found me
in possession of a surplus, l consequently
never have experienced hard times or a
scarcity of money.
Many of my cotemporaries, who inherit
ed large real estates, began the world by
adopting the style of living now before you ;
ambitious to excel each other, they suffered
themselves to he influenced by example,
indulged in the most extravagant furniture,
dress, equipage, &c. and trusting the man
agement of their estates to stewards as
profligate as themselves, their expenditures
greatly exceeded their income, and their
estates soon melted away like snow in a
summer’s day. It is such as these, and all
who have followed their example, that
have, and always will, experience bard
times and want of money, while those who
adopt, first the oak table and its furniture,
with the determination never to owe any
man : and who makes it a point every year
to spend le3s than his income, may soon
adopt that style represented in the second
coarse of this day’s entertainment, which
with industry and economy, he may contin
ue through life. But he who adopts the
style now before you let his wealth be what
it may, will most assuredly be cursed with
hard times aod the want of money, and be
come degraded far below the standard of
the oak table. ADIEU.
The old gentleman retired under shouts
of applause from all present, for his inge
nuity in giving such wholesome advice in
so impressive a manner.

EXHILIRATING GAS.
The mirth of our citizens has been much
excited, and in a novel manner, during a
part of this week, by the administration of
this fluid at the conclusion of chemical lec
tures delivered at the city tavern, by Mr.
Cullen, a gentleman lately arrived here.
The lectures themselves were sufficient
ly interesting, evincing a full acquaint
ance with the subject, being couched in
language elegant and easily comprehensi
ble, and illustrated by simple experiment;
but the grand attraction consisted in the
ludicrous effects produced upon those of
the audience who inhaled the gas. A hlad
* der being inflated from the gasometer, the
person wishing to try the experiment ap
plies his mouth to the orifice aud strongly
inhales; in a few moments the system be
comes affected, respiration laborious, the
body contorted; a leg moves hysterically,
till at length the individual relinquishes the
bladder and breaks away in a delirious vi
vacity. In some it produces a sensation in
conceivably joyous, in others an extreme
energy ;in one instance only. onnonlpfo
stupor —the prevailing propensity, appear
ing to be developed to excess, except
where, (as in the last case, the constitution
is so feeble as to sink under stimulus. One
gentleman, an admirer of the fair sex, had
no sooner become sufficiently affected, than
he sprang towards a row of ladies who
were seated at the end of the room, caper
ed before them in a delirium of admiration,
clasping his hands, and rapidly repeating
“Oh you dear little, sweet little crea
tures!” and would certainly have bestowed
on each an cxtatick hug, had they not
been fortified by a large sofa placed in their
front by the providence of the lecturer,
and by a chevaux-deJrise of umbrellas rais
ed by their male acquaintance in their de
fence. Another danced about the room
with an agility that would not have disgrac
ed the London opera, and his performance
would have been highly satisfactory to all
present had he not suddenly changed his
mood, distributed liberally all atound fisty
cuffs, with a velocity which the corpulent
part of the spectators found no small difficul
ty U.
A third, imagining himself in the river,
struck out his hands, and threw himself into
a swimming attitude so horizontal as to fall
flat on his face. A fourth, whose disposi
tion must be supposed to be Chesterfield’s
own heart, paced round the room with gro
tesque inflections of the body, scraping and
bowing with the very extremity of polite
ness. Two others, however, did not ap
pear to such advantage, the one continuing
in the posture of inhalation, after the blad
der was withdrawn from his mouth, suck
ing and puffing most energetically ala Bo
reas, while the shrill grunting of the other
bore a great resemblance to the tone of a
pig stuck under a gate. But the most in
teresting and rational exhibition is said to
have taken place on the first evening, when
a gentleman of theatrical taste, having in
haled the gas in presence of a few friends
only, pronounced a part of Richard the.
Third’s soliloquy, ‘‘Now is the winter of our
discontent,” Sic. with a look, tone and ges
ture, that Kean himself might have envied.
He did not, however, finish it: for recov
ering his state of sanity in the middle of it,
he was so abashed that he took to his heels
and ran away. We had almost omitted to
mention a gentleman in one of our banks,
who, (after executing all the movements of
fencing, and thence making a transition to
firing,) finding himself standing before a
gentleman with a piece of paper in his
hand, imagined it was a draft presented to
be cashed, and went through the gesture of
telling out bank notes with the characteris
tick celerity of his office.
THE PLANETARY SYSTEM OF THE
HEART.
BY KOTZEBUE.
A studious astronomer was taking great pains
to instruct a lady in the system of Descartes, ac
cording to which the groupes of heavenly bodies
consist only of vortices, and those bodies are mu
tually attracted by nothing but vortices. “My
head turns about already,” said the fair scholar.
“ Whether this system is adapted to the heavens
I have not the least desire to know, but I am
pleased with it, because in the same manner you
may explain the system of the human heart, and
this is my world 11” The astronomer looked at
her with astonishment. He had studied the heav
ens a great deal, but he knew nothing at all con
cerning the human heart.
“ Hear,” continued the lady, “ how I repre
sent the matter to myself. Every person is such
a Cartesian vortex We constantly require an
ether to flat in; this ether is Kanity , as the fun
damental principle of all our motions ; the Heart ,
the centre of the vortex is the Sun, around which
the Passions revolve as planets. Each planet
has its moons ; round Lore revolves Jealousy. —
They mutually illumine each other by reflection,
but all their light is borrowed from the heart,
whose second planet, Ambition, is not so near to
it as love, and therefore receives from it a less de
gree of warmth. Ambition has likewise its moons,
many of which shine extremely bright ; for in
stance, Bravery, Magnanimity ; while others re
flect but a dismal light, as Haughtiness, Arro
gance, Flattery. The largest planet in this sys
tem, the Jupiter, is Self-Interest, which has num
berless satellites. Reason has also a little comer,
she is our Saturn,who steals away 30 years before
we can perceive that she has made one revolution.
The Comets in my system are none other than
Meditation , Reflection —which, after many aber
rations, get, in a short time into the vortex of the
passions. Experience has taught us that they
have neither a pernicious nor a beneficial influ
ence ; they excite in us a little fear, and that is
all; the vortex continues its course as t>*fnre ”
The astronomer smiled with open mouth like one
who does not comprehend a thing, but out of po
liteness raises ro objection to it. “ I proceed a
little farther still,” continued the lady. “ That
involuntary sentiment denominated Sympathy, I
compare to the power by which the magnet at
tracts iron. Both are inexplicable. The solar
spots may probably be the effects of age, when
the warmth of the heart gradually decreases : for
who can answer for it that our Sun will not be by
degrees extinguished ? Then will the universe be
as dark and as cold as the heart of an old man or
a conqueror. The thought is enough to chill
one. Farewell 1* The lady skipped away to
forget, in the voltex of a sprightly dance, the
whole system of Descartes. The astronomer
looked after her shaking his hea'J, and compared
her to a shooting star.
DESPERATE CONFLICT.
A Vienna paper gives the fallowing circumstantial
details of an affair which is not unworthy of the
brightest era of ancient Greece.
The convent of Statina was inhabited by seven
Greek monks, and surrounded by very high walls.
Ninety-seven Greeks, under the orders of a Ser- !
vian captain of their own choice, called Anastasi,
had thrown themselves into this convent, where
they were attacked on the 25th j .ov
Turks, under the orders of, “u'Bimbachi, (chief of
1000 men) to whom thr r-'e Jews acted as guides.
The Greoks placed be'nind the battlements the
most experienced i*uarksmen, to whom the rest
supplied muskets.. loaded, without interruption.
At first, the thr Jew* xet fire to baskets of cjrn
which were placed near the wall, and the wind
soon spread the flames into the court of the con
vent, and the convent being constructed of wood
was soon consumed. The Greeks, however, did
not give up their resolution to defend themselves.
In the wall of the convent, there was a small old
door, and through that, one of the monks escaped.
The Turks, seeing this opening, penetrated into
the court. The chief then assembled his follow
ers in the church, and barricaded the door as
tvMcfi was
partly wrapped in dames—but those who re
mained in the court, amt who could not withdraw
in time, were overpowered by numbers, and all
put to the sword. The Bimbacha then summon
ed Anastasi to surrender, promising him pardon,
which the latter rejected with disdain. At the
same time a ball from the roof laid the ltimbacha
dead on the spot. Immediately a Turk cut off
his head, and carefully wrapped it in a piece of
cloth to show that he had fallen in battle.
Meanwhile the flames, which enveloped by de
grees the roof of the Church, forced the Greeks
to descend. The Turks penetrated into the
church—they fought round the high altar, and
the Greeks continued their fire with such effect,
that the Turks demanded an armistice, which
was only granted them on condition of immedi
ately withdrawing. The Turks lost 372 killed,
and the Greeks 17 killed and 13 wounded. The
seven monks were killed. The three dews fell
into the hands of the Greeks, who nailed them to
the cross, after having torn the skin from their
bodies, and exercised on them other barbarities.
The 80 triumphant Greeks, after having laid
down their arms, passed the frontier of Dnkovina,
and were sent by an officer of the Austrian guard
to Bovance, where they safely arrived on the 28th
of July.

been condemned to die near Philadelphia for a

making grindstones, was very exact in his ac

neighbours who had left him the evening previous
in good health.
