OH THE DEATH OF A FRIEND.
’’Tis done ! the work of death ii o’er :
How deep the sleep that breaks no more !
The eye may look, and look in vain,
To catch the living smile again,
Or the pure pearl that softly flows,
dissolving o’er another’s woes ;
The list’niug ear may strive once more,
/ To catch the tones that sooth’d before ;
f But ah ! ’tis vain, all, all are gogie ;
The smile—the tear—the voice, as one,
Have ceased to soothe, or pleasure give,
And only in remembrance live.
While bending o’er thy tranquil bier,
Fain would I stay the trembling tear ;
Strew round the flowers of poesy,
To hide its stem reality ;
For death such gentle aspect wears,
It seems as life without its cares—
And a bright sunbeam gleaming o’er,
Would life with all its cares restore ;
Oh ! little did our spirit deem,
While ling’ring o’er the sad’ning theme
So oft renew’d—on evening’s blast,
The “ life destroying Angel” past.
MISCELLANY.
From the New Fori Commercial Advertiser.
OBITUARY.
Died, at Lyme,(Connecticut,) on the 29th
of October, Captain EZRA LEE, aged 72,
a revolutionary officer. It is not a little
remarkable that this officer is the only man
of which it can be said, that he fought the
enemy upon land—upon water—and under
the water ; the latter mode of warfare was
as follows:
When the British fleet lay in the North
River, opposite to the city of New York,
and while Gen. Washington had possession
of the city, he was very desirous to be rid
of such neighbours. A Mr. Bushuell of
Saybrook, (Con.) who bad the genius of a
Pulton, constructed a sub-marine machine,
of a conical form, bound together with iron
bands, within which one person might sit,
and with cranks and skulls, could navigate
it to any depth under water. In the up
per part was affixed a vertical screw for
the purpose of penetrating ships’ bottoms,
and to this was attached a magazine of
powder, within which was a clock, which,
on being set to run any given time, would,
when run down, spring a gun-lock, and an
Explosion would follow. This Marine Tur
tle, so called, was examined by Gen. Wash
ington, and approved ; to preserve secresy,
it was experimented with in an enclosed
yard over twenty to thirty feet water, and
kept during daylight locked in a vessel’s
hold. The brother of the inventor was to
be the person to navigate the machine into
action, but on sinking it the first time, be
declined the service.
Gen. Washington, unwilling to relinquish
the object, requested Major General Par
sons to select a person, in whom he could
confide, voluntarily to engage in the enter
prise ; the latter being well acquainted
with the beroick spirit, the patriotism, and
the firm and steady courage of the deceas
ed abovemeotioned, immediately communi
cated the plaD and the offer, which he ac
cepted, observing that his life was at Gen.
Washington’s service. After practising the
machine, until he understood its powers of
balancing and moving under water, a night
was fixed upon for the attempt. General
Washington and his associates in the se
cret, took their stations upon the roof of a
house in Broadway, anxiously waiting the
result. Morning came, and no intelligence
could be had of the mtrepid sub-marine
navigator, nor could the boat who attended
him, give any account of him after parting
with him the first part of the night. While
these anxious spectators were about to give
him up as lost, several barges were seen to
start suddenly from Governour’s Island,
(then in possession of the British) and pro
ceed towards some object near the Asia
ship of the line, —as suddenly they were
seen to put about and steer for the Island
with springing oars. In two or three min
utes an explosion took place, from the sur
face of the water, resembling a water
1 spout, which aroused the whole city and
region; the enemy ships took the alarm—
signals were rapidly given,—the ships cut
their cables and proceeded to the Hook
with all possible despatch, sweeping their
bottoms with chains, and with difficulty pre
vented their affrighted crews from leaping
overboard.
During this scene of consternation, the
deceased came to the surface, opened the
brass head of his aquatick machine; rose
up and gave a signal for the boat,to come
to him, but they could not reach him, until
he again descended under water, to avoid
the enemy’s shot from the Wand, who had
S discovered him and commenced firing in his
wake. Having forced himself against a
strong current under water until without
the reach of shot, he was taken in tow and
landed at the Battery amidst a great crowd,
and reported himself to General Washing
ton, who expressed bis entire satisfaction
that the object was effected without the
| loss of lives. The deceased was under
I she Asia's bottom more than two hours, en
| deavouring to penetrate her copper, but in
▼ain. He frequently came up under her
| stern galleries searching for exposed plank,
and could hear the sentinels cry. Once he
! was discovered by the watch on deck, and
heard them speculate upon him, but con
| eluded a drifted log had paid them a visit—
he returned to her keel and examined it
I fore and aft, and then proceeded to some
other ships ; but the impossibility of pene
trating their copper, for want of a resisting
power, hundreds owed the safety of their
1 *‘ ves to circumstance. The longest
of time he could remain under water
was two hours. For a particular descrip
tion of this sub-marine curiosity, see Silli
man’s Journal of Arts and Sciences.
The deceased, during the war, ever had
the confidence and esteem of the comman
der in chief, and was frequently employed
by him on secret missions of importance.
He fought with him at Trenton and Mon
mouth ; at Brandywine the hilt of his sword
was shot away, and his hat and coat were
penetrated with the enemy’s balls. On the
return of peace, he laid aside the habili
ments of war, and returned to his farm,
where, like Cincinnatus, he tilled his lands,
until now called by the Great Commander
in Chief to the Regions above. He died
without an flnemy ; he was universally be
loved. The suavity of his manners—even
ness of temper, and correctness of princi
ples, was proverbial, and pleasing to all his
acquaintance. He enjoyed the confidence
of his fellow citizens, to an extent almost
unparalleled. His desk was the repository
of deeds, contracts, and other evidences of
property, as well as the widows and or
phans wealth for safe keeping. He con
stantly read the papers of the day, and was
by many considered a political prophet.
His Christian and moral life was sternly
strict; —His Bible his guide and rule of
action. “To do unto others, as he would
they should do unto him,” was his univer
sal maxim and rule of life. His benevo
leoce and charity was only circumscribed
by his means. Contented and happy, he
was an example of the great blessings
which flow from the perfect enjoyment of
life, regulated by Christian and moral vir
tue. He has left a widow, (with whom
he has lived 51 years) and a numerous off
spring to mourn the loss of one of the best
of men.
DEUCALION OF KENTUCKY.
From a series of tales published in Blackwood’s
Edinburgh Magazine, entitled 11 The Stemn-
Boat ; or, the voyages and travels of Thomas
Dulfle, cloth merchant in the salt-market of
Glasgow.”
Votage Second—Tale V.
My grandfather was one of the first set
tlers of Kentucky. He was, by profession,
a miller, and built a flour mill at a village
in that state. It was called Thyatira, after
one of the ancient towns mentioned in the
Bible; and he and his neighbours, the
founders, expected it would become a great
city ; but not a vestige of it, neither of the
church nor mill, now remains—yet I re
member it all well. It was a handsome
place, situated at the bottom of a range of
hills, wooded to the top —a fine stream
washed their feet, and the mill stood at the
side of a pretty waterfall.
My grandfather left his property in a
flourishing condition to my father, who was
an enterprising character. He took an ac
tive part in the war for independence, and
when the peace was adjusted, he returned
to Thyatira, where he enlarged the old
flour mill, and constructed another for saw
ing the timber, with which the neighbour
ing mountains were covered. Everybody
predicted that my father would soon be one
of the richest men in the state, and his
prospects were certainly undeniable.
I think it is not possible that I shall ever
see again a place half so beautiful as the
unfortunate Thyatira, and the valley which
it overlooked. The valley was green, the
stream mas clear, and the woods, that
clothed the mountains, were of the loftiest
kind, and the richest leaf! All is now deso
late. Sometime* of a night, as I came
across the Atlantick, I thought the bell of
the little wooden church, that stood on the
slope above the village, rung in my ear,
and I heard the dogs, as it were, bark again,
and the cocks crow ; but the ship would
give a lurch and turn my eyes outwards up
on the ocean waters all around me, as lone
and wild as the deluge that destroyed my
native valley.
In the summer before the dreadful yel
low fever broke out in Philadelphia, (I
was in that city at the time when the
fever raged, which makes me remem
ber it so well,) my father was much troub
led by the failure of the stream which sup
plied his mill. The drought dried it up,
and his wheels stood still for want of water.
Some of the old neighbours had visited the
source of the river in their youth. It was
a lake far up among the mountains, and my
father, being an enterprising character,
thought if he could enlarge the opening at
the banks of the lake, where the stream is
sued, he would obtain an abundance of wa
ter.
The scheme was feasible, and he engag
ed a number of men to go with him to the
lake for that purpose. I was then a youth,
fond of adventure, and I accompanied the
heroes of the pick-axe and shovel. We had
a cheerful journey through the woods ; we
startled showers of beautiful humming-birds
—they were like apple-blossoms scattered
in the winds ; we slept at night in the
woods, and we crossed several ancient In
dian war-tracks, which we knew by their
inscriptions on the rocks ; we saw also in
the forest artificial mounds, on which trees
ofthe oldest growth were growing. They
were the works of inhabitants before the
present race—perhaps they were antedilu
vian. Sometimes ! think America is the
old world that was destroyed. But be that
as it may, it contains many remains of an
tiquity that philosophy has not yet explain
ed. The warfare belts of the Indians are
hieroglyphical lectures. The Egyptians
wrote in that language. Did they teach
the Indians ? Not, however, to dwell on
such abstruse matters, I shall just say, that
we reached, on the second day, the lake
which supplied the stream. It was about
some ten miles long, and five broad—a
bowl in the midst of several hills. It was
overlooked by the woods and mountains ;
but towards our valley, a vast embankment
gave it the form of a dam, over the middle
of which the stream of Thyatira flowed.
I It was the evening when we reached the
top of the embankment; we took some;
refreshment, and my father proposed that j
we should rest ourselves for that night; the
whole business partook of <he nature of a
hunting excursion ; our end was labour,but
we sweetened the means with pleasure, j
Accordingly, after our repast, the party
severally betook themselves to the sports j
in which they most delighted. I retired to j
a rock that overlooked the lake, and seat- j
ed myself to view the landscape, that in the ’
lone magnificence of mountain, lake and
wood, was spread around me. The spirit
of the place held communion with mine,
and 1 was seized with an awful foreboding, j
Tranquillity floated like a corpse on the;
water; silence sat in the dumbness of
death on the mountains; the woods seem
ed, as the light faded, to take the form of
hearse-plumes; & as 1 looked down towards
my native village, 1 thought of the valley
of Jehoshaphat, and the day of judgment.
What curious sense of the mind, keener
than the eye and quicker than the ear,
gave me in that evening the foretaste of
what was to happen ?
The rest of the party slept well, but I
durst not close my eyes. The moment 1
did so, the ever restless faculty of my spirit
discovered the omens of what was to ensue,
and frightened me awake. It is amazing
how such things happen ; for my part 1
think the mind never sleeps, and that our
dreams are but the metaphorical medium
of its reflections, when the five physical
senses are shut up. Dreams, I would say,
are but the metaphors in which reason
thinks. But the mysteries of the kingdom
of the soul are more dark and profound
than those of all the other kingdoms of na
ture ; and I cannot expound them.
At day break my father called us cheerily to
wf rk. I know not by what impulse I was actua
ted. I had been educated by a strange man—a
deep classical scholar who had settled at Thya
tira. He had been brought up at Oxford, and he
ascribed living powers to all organized existences.
The woods were to him endowed with spirits, the
streams had intelligence, and the rocks the mem
ory of witnesses bearing testimony. These fan
cies came thick upon me, and 1 went to my fa
ther, and laid my hand on his arm, —“ Forbear,”
said I ; “ there may be something unhallowed in
disturbing the ancient channel of these solitary
waters.” My father laughed, and again struck
his pick-axe into the mound. It was a fatal stroke,
for as he pulled out the weapon, the ground gave,
as it were, a shudder, and presently after a groan
was heard as if the whole mound of earth was
breaking up.
My father, by the stroke of his pick-axe, had
cleft asunder an incrustation of sand, that formed,
as it were, the bowl of the lake. The water
rushed through and widened the seam with great
violence. The mound, which dammed up the
lake, had been formed by a gradual accumulation
of fallen timber. The water through the rent in
sinuated itself among the mass ; the mud and sand
between the gathered trunks were washed away,
and the mass lost its adhesion. In the course of a
few minutes, heaven knows by what strange ap- i
titude, the stupendous mound began to move. It
became convulsed ; it roared with the throes of
tearing asunder; the waters of the lake boiled
up from the bottom ; I ran from the spot; my fa
ther and his friends stood aghast and terrified ;
birds were screaming from the woods below; I
called to my father, and to all, for God’s sake to
follow me ; I looked towards the lake—it seemed i
to me as if its calm level surface was taking the j
shape of sloping glass ; I caught hold of the i
branch of a tree which grew on the rock where I
had contemplated the scene the preceding eve-;
ning ; 1 felt, as it were, the globe of the world
sliding from under my feet; I exerted myself ;I ■
reached the rock; every thing was reeling around
me ; I saw the hills and woods moving away. I ,
shut my eyes in terror, and covering my face with 1
my hands, stretched myself on the rock as if 1 lay
at the feet of the angel of destruction. I heard a
sound louder than thunder ; my senses were for
a time stunned. What in the mean time happen
ed 1 know not ; but when I had fortitude enough
to look round, 1 found myself on the ledge of an
awful precipice—a black and oozy valley, herb
less as the grave, where the lake had been ; and
for the mound where I had left my father and his
labourers, a horrible chasm—devastation, horrid
as the roaring deluge was seen raging down the
valley towards Tbyatira. The sound lessened as
as l looked, and a silence succeeded, such as the
raven of Noah found upon the earth, when she
went forth, banqueting on the abolished races of
the old world !
THE UNICORN.
FROM THE CHRISTIAN OBSERVER.
Major Latter, commanding in the hilly coun
try east of Nepaul, s’ates, that the unicorn so long
considered as a fabulous animal, actually exists
at this moment in th- interiour of Thibet, where
it is well known to the inhabitants. “ This,” he
remarks, “is a very curious fact, and it may be
necessary to mention, how the circumstance be
came known to me. In a Thibetian manuscript,
containing the names of different animals, which
1 procured the other day from the hills,the unicorn
is classed under the head of those whose hoofs are
divided: it is called the one horsed teo’po. .
Upon inquiring what kind of animal it was, to our ‘
astonishment the person who brought me the man-;
uscript described exactly the unicorn of the an
cients ; saying that it was a native of the interi
our of Thibet, about the size of a tattoo, (a horse
from twelve to thirteen hands high) fierce, and
extremely wild ; seldom, if ever, caught alive, 1
but frequently sho!; and that the flesh was used
for food;” “The person,” Major Latter adds,
“ who gave me this information, has repeatedly
seen these animals, and eaten the flesh of them.
They go together in herds, like our wild buffaloes,
and are very frequently to be met with on the
borders of (he great desert, about a month’s jour
ney from Lassa, in that part of the country inhab
ited l)j the wandering Tartars.”
This communication is accompanied by a draw
ing, made by the messenger from recollection: it
bears some resemblance to a horse, but has clov
en hoofs, a long curved horn growing out of the
forehead, and a boar-shaped tail, like that of the
“ fera mouoceros,” described by Pliny.
SLAVE TRADE.
A useful little work called “ The World in
Miniature ,” published in England, contains some
highly interesting, though heart-rending facts, in
the volume devoted to Africa, respecting the
abominable slave trade, which, to the shame of
the Christian world, is yet carried on to a great
extent. The following curious facts are taken
from the volume alluded to:—
“ Frempung, king of the Akemists, and at the
same time an intrepid warriour, had heard so many
wonderful things respecting the White Sea-Mont
ters, (the European Slave Traders) that though
he resided very far inland, he requested the
Danes to send him one of their people to gratify
his curiosity. Kamp, a clerk, accordingly trav
elled to his court. When first ushered into the
royal pretence, he made a low obeisance, at the
1 same time moving back his foot; on which his
sable majesty conceived, that like the wiki mon
kies, he was couching for the purpose of making
1 a spring at his head. He therefore fell flat on
the ground, under the idea that he should thus
escape, and that the strange animal would leap
over him. At the same time he called out to his
1 wives for protection ! and they immediately form
|ed a circle round him. His majesty was told that
this was only the salutation of the whites; but he
begged that it might be dispensed with in future,
j He soon began to examine his visiter with some-
I what less timidity. At first he took his clothes to
j be a part of his body ; and the queue of the Dane
; had led him to suppose that he was a large ope,
: of a species unknown to him, with a tail growing
out of his neck. The white was then required to
eat in his presence. In order thoroughly to satisfy
l himself respecting his real shape, he desired that
! he might be requested to strip oft’ his clothes. To
his utter astonishment he learned that Kamp posi
! tively refused to comply in the presence of more
! than a hundred women, but that he had no objec-
I tion to show himself undressed to the king alone.
I On receiving this answer, his majesty previously
! submitted to the discussion of his council of state,
(the elders) whether it would be prudent to trust
himself alone with a white man. They decided
in the affirmative, and the women were ordered
to retire. The Dane then stripped. Frempung
cautiously approached nearer and nearer; he
touched his limbs with fear and astonishment, and
at length burst out into the exclamation : “ Yes j
thou art indeed a map, but as while as the Devil!”
[JY. F. Com. Adv.
Peter Pindar's opinion of Cats and Dogs.
I do not love a Cat—his disposition is mean and
suspicious. A friendship of years is cancelled in
a moment, by an accidental tread on his tail or
foot. He instantly spits, raises his back, twirls
his tail of malignity, and shows you, turning back
as he goes off, a staring, vindictive face, full of
horrid oaths and unforgiveness, seeming to say,
“ Perdition catch you ! I leave you forever.” But
the Dog is my delight; tread on his tail or foot,
he expresses for a moment the uneasiness of his
feelings ; but in an instant the complaint is end
ed. He runs round you, seems to declare his
sorrow for complaining, as it was not intention
ally done ; nay, to make himself the aggressor;
and begs by whinings and lickings, that his mas
ter will think no more of it. Many a time when
Ranger, wishing for a little sport, has run to the
gun,smelled to it, then wriggling his tail, and with
his eyes full of the most expressive fire, leaping
up against me, whining and begging—have 1,
against my inclination, indulged him with a scam
per through the woods or in the fields; for many a
time he has left a warm nest, among the snows of
winter, to start pleasures for me. Thus there is a
moral obligation between a man and a dog,
“ I held,” said the gallant and witty Menage,
“ the beautiful hand of Madame G. for a long
time, within both of mine, and on letting it go,
the Abbe P. observed, that it was by far the Jin
est work that ever came out of my hands.”
