POETRY. ELEGIACK. LINES. 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.” JYE W GOODS.
