POETRY. From, anew Poem entitled, “ The Widow of the City of /fain.” 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* liever, it will consecrate and sweetly mingle the love of a mother with the penitence and lively fhith of a humble Christian, bowing with submis sion to the sovereign will of Ood.— Ch. Watch. 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&lt 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. Patuxent, Julj 27, 1757. From the Montreal Herald. 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. Died, at his lonely hovel amonc the hills t 9 mdes r>. rj. from Harrisburgh, Pa. Mr. Wil son, who for many years endeavoured to be a sol itary recluse from the society of men, except as far as was necessary for his support. His retire ment was principally occasioned by the melan choly manner of the death of his sister, by which his reason was also partially affected. She had been condemned to die near Philadelphia for a crime committed in the hope of concealing her. shame from the world, and the day of her execu tion was appointed. In the mean time, her bro ther used his utmost means to obtain her pardon from the Govemour. He had succeeded, and his horse foamed and bled as he spurred homeward. But an uupropitiou* rain had swelled the streams; he was compelled to pace the bank with bursting brain, and gaze upon the rushing waters that threatened to blast bis only hope 1 At the earliest moment that a ford was practicable, he dashed through, and arrived at the place of execution just m time to see the last struggles of his sis ter ! This was the fatal blow. He retired into the hills of Dauphin county, employed himself in making grindstones, was very exact in his ac counts, but observed frequently to be estranged ; and one morning was found dead by a few of the neighbours who had left him the evening previous in good health.
