POETRY.
THE PIRATE.
Tlie wave is resting on the tea,
Or only ripples into smiles,
That curl and twinkle silently
Around the cocoa-tufted isles;
beneath the Moro’s Crowing walls,
The faintest chime of ocean falls,
At if the rolling tempest-swell,
Subdu'd by moon-light's inngick spell,
Were murmuring its last farewell j
And now the distant voice of llutes,
Or tinkling of the light guitars,
The mellow sound of love, that suits
The silent winds and drowsy stars,
When each discordant note is still,
And all the hum of day at rest,
And tender tones more inly thrill
The yet unstain'd and virgin hreast—
These sounds that tell the heart's devotion,
Ooroe.floating upward from the ocean,
As skimming through the flaky foam,
The light canoes are calmly driven
fly winds, that send them to their home
iso soft, they seem the gales of heaven.
But yet the reckless pirate keeps
His tiger-watch, while nature sleep*,
And in his thirsting hope, unsheaths
The sword, that glares with sullen llarne ;
With firm set teeth he temly breathes
His curses on each better name :
Careless he stands, prepar’d to strike
friend, stranger, foe, for gain, alike;
As wolves, who gather in she worn!,
And lurk (ill chance their prey has given,
Then, bjkning in their thirst for blood,
tVilh fiend-like yells are madly driven:
So cow ers the pirate in his cave,
Till far away the snowy sail
Moves calmly o'er the mirror'd wave,
And flutters in the dying gale ;
Then, with a demon swell of heart,
lie hurries from the guilty shore,
And, stealing on it like a dart,
He dies that snowy sail in gore.

PENITENCE.
If thou could’st know what ‘tis to weep,
To weep unpitied and alone
The live-long night, whilst others sleep,
Silent; ,1 mournful watch to keep,
Thou woold’st not do what I have done.
If thou could’st know what ‘tis to smile,
To smile, whilst scorn’d by every one,
To hide by many an artful wile,
A heart that knows more grief than guile,
Thou wou’dst not do what I have done.
Ami oh ! if thou could’st think how drear,
When friends are chang’d and health is gone.
The world would to thine eyes appear;
If thou, like me, to none wert dear,
Thou woukt’st not do what I have done.

AN IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT IN
SURGERY.
The formidable operation of I.iihotomv |

now reduced to a degree of simplicity, al- i
most incredible, by an invention of \V \V. 1

in this city, on Anatomy, Philology and
Surgery. We omit mentioning particulars,
except She following prominent feature* in
it, viz : tout the skin is not touched with a
knife ; that the actual operation does not j
occupy the eighth of a minute, and that it I
is attended with little, if any more pain
than bleeding in the ar;n. Thus, an ope
ration considered by the most celebrated
mer. of the day as one fraught with the
niot imminent peril and excruciating suf
fering, will be rendered as simple as vene
section. Wc further learn, that the opera
tion as originally conceived by him, svas
liable to many difficulties, all which have
been effectually obviated by certain meas
ures devised by him during the last twelve
months’ consideration of the subject, and
without which it cannot be undertaken
with safety. The Doctor, as might be an
ticipated, has as yet communicated these
means to no one ; but a treatise will shortly
be published in London, to which city, we
understand, he purposes in the course of
next summer, proceeding.

PROVIDENT!AL DELIVERANCE.
Among the scenes of terror of which Smyrna,
has been at different times the theatre since the
comwencsMoent of the Greek insurrection, the
following affecting circumstance occurred. ‘
White the murderers were forcing in -the doors of
the houses will) their caib.nes, a poov Catholick
family, iu the neighbourhood ot these massacres,
was in a desperate situation. False seourity had
hitherto made them neglect the necessary pre
cautions. The unhappy fattier did not perceive
hi, rtT ‘ur till his house, door was pierced through
gud through by a shower of musket balls. The
only means that remained to save his wife and
numerous family from inevitable destruction was
■to escape over the roofs of the houses. The mo
ments m ere Precious ; the door was already giv
ing way to the ■efforts of the assailants. Taking
Iris youngest son in l.is arms, lie climetl from his
own to the newt roof, followed by his trembling
wife with art infant at her breast, and after her
hit four daughters. But this flight was soon inter
rupted by a ofoss street. They already heard,
on the neighbouring terrace*, the furious cries of
their pursuers; it was necessary to venture the
dangerous passage over (he street. The father,
inspired with 111 w strength, pulled a plank fr.,m
the adjoining house, and laid it ucross tha street,
so that it resled on the (wo opposite roofs, and
offered a narrow, iusecure bridge to this unfortu
nate family. But the imminent danger of failing
was not the only one that threatened them ; the
street they had to cross was that iu which the
shot (the cause of the tumult) had been fired.
It was full of furious Turks, whose continual firing
alarmed them. But they had not time to consid
er. At last one of the daughters ventured ou the
narrow board ; but at her first step an hundred
muskets were discha'ged at her. However, she
reached the opposite roof without injury, and her
sister followed and was equally fortunate. Mean
while the rest of the family were discovered by
the furious Turks on the neighbouring roofs, and
a shower of balls from that side also assailed the
unhappy fugitives. Urged by alarms from all
quarters, they all crowded at once oil the frail
bridge, which at first they hardly thought would
bear one person. All the shots were now diiect
rd to the same point, and pierced in many places
the board, which bent under their weight. But
it seemed as if Providence covered with his i'gis
this unhappy family—not one was wounded ; all
reached the opposite roofs, and thence the resi
dence of uri European family ; where the father,
exhausted hy exertion and mental agitation, a
soon as be found himself in safety, fainted away.

The dead alir —ln the Legislature of Massa
chusetts, on Monday a resolve was presented, on
the petition of David Gray, praying compensa
tion for extraordinary revolutionary services. It
appeared from evidence produced hy the petition
er, that he was employed during the revolutiona
ry war to act as a pv, and that he is the identical
personage celebrated in the popular uovel of the
“ Spy,’’ under the name of “ Harvey Birch!”
Since the preceding was in type, we have
made some particular inquiries relative to Mr.
Gray, and are led to believe that some misappre
hension has taken place ill relation to the ca.-e,
as slated to the House of Representatives, hy a
member from this city. That gi ntlernan, we un
derstand, -did not say, David Gray was the Har
vey Birch of the American novel called the Spy,
but merely, that his adventures” were so similar, as
well to justify the belie! that he might possibly
have stood as the original of that well drawn
character. We have obtained a short account
of the history of Mr. Gray. lie was born in
Lenox, in this State; served under Col. Allen at
Ticonderoga, iu 1775, on which occasion he re
ceived a small present from Col. Allen on account
of the gallantry he had manifested; was, in differ
ent regiments, actively engaged in service till
1777, when he entered the first regiment of Mas
-achnsetts, commanded by Col. Vose. He con
tinued in this regiment three years ; and it is for
this service that the House of Representatives, on
the occasion above mentioned, allowed him full
pay. On the second of January, 17110, he was
transferred hy superionr iTilers, to the quarter
master's department; and it is at this time that
his uncommon adventures begin. On account of
the intelligence he displayed in detecting a line
ol tones and loyalists, which extended from Can
ada to New York, he was made known to Gen.
Washington, and employed by him in secret ser
vice. Eor this purpose he was furnished with a
pass, authorizing the hearer to pass all lines and
outposts of the American army, and also with a
captain's commission. Cray went to Connecti
cut and Long Island ; was introduced as a trusty
and useful person, to Col. Robinson, at that time
at the head of a body of loyalists, known by the
I name of the American Legion ; and was eraploy
|ed by him to carry letters to loyalists in New
; York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Connecti
; cut. Gray first delivered these letters to the
Commander-in-chief of the American army, and
then, hy his directions, he carried them to their
pioper addresses. He was employed a year in
this kind of service. He was nftetwards employ
ed hy General Clinton, ami was sent by him to
Canada with despatches ; upon which occasion he
made himself very useful to the American com
mander. Me continued in this capacity of adou
hle spy, assuming various disguises and adopting
various expedients both to conceal his American
pass ami the despatches he occasionallv carried
from both parties, till September, 1731, when he
was sent to New London, in Connecticut, to in
form Col. Ledyard, that if the wind was favoura
ble, Arnold would attempt to land there the next
morning. Arnold accordingly appeared, and the
fort in which Gray was stationed having been ta
ken by the British, he had just time to escape,
leaving his papers in the hands of the American
commanding officer. This was the end of his
services as a spy. At the disbanding of the ar
my he settled and married iu Pennsylvania, and
has lived there and in Vermont to the present
time.
A certain Bishop being at court, and observing
a lady, who was very corpulent, talking to the
late Princess Dowager of Wales; and at the oth
er end u( the room, a very genteel youth, both of
whom were utter strangers to him; lie addressed
himself to the young getilleman with a very insin
uating air; alter some compliments, asked him if
lie knew who that Jut sow was, who was in dis
course with her Koyal Highness? ‘• Ves, iny
lord,” replied the youth, with great modesty,
“that fat sow is the Ambassadress of Sweden,
and mother to the little pig who has the honour
to speak to your lordship.”
If names are ominous of the results which are
to lotto w, we shall expect to hear of rare liavock
among the freebooters of the ocean. The name
ami character of the commander prove that he
does uot lack spirit; and should the Sea-Gull fail
to Decop them Irom their abode, the cunning of
the Fox aided by the vigilance of the Jackal, the
fleetness ot the Grey Hound the Beagle and the
Terrier, the sagai ity 01 the keen-scented IVeozle,
and the lury of the IVtid Cat , will soon Ferret
them out of their bilking places, and deliver ti.ein
over to the just indignation of the Midge, Mos
cheto, Sand-Fly, Gahtynipptr and Gnat, to re
ceive the stings due to unfeeling violators of jus
tice and humanity.— Tress.

From the Springfield (Mass.) Patriot.
, The Spider, which is generally considered a
disgusting insect, is in fact the most ingenious
mechanick, the wisest philosopher, and the most
infallible prophet among the works of Providence.
However much this little animal may lie exceed
ed in other respects by intelligent being*, yet in
its power of prognosticating the state of the wea
ther, it far exceeds all other animals of which we
have any knowledge. Barometers and eudiome
ter* have been constructed by men at great ex
pense, and are among the proudest efforts of hu
man philosophers: yet, like the heathen oracles,
their predictions are ambiguous and confused ;
not so toe wob of the Spider. It is a fact not
generally known, though made publick some
years ago by a French philosopher, that the wet.
of the common Spider is a sure index of the state
of the air twelve or fourteen dajs to come. If
the weather is to be fair and calm, (he principal
thread will be spun (o a great length : If, on the
contrary, the weather is to be stormy and boister
ous, the thread will be short and thick, for obvi
ous reasons; and if the fpiJcr is seen to repair
the damages its slender thread may happen to
sustain, you may calculate with certainty upon
pleasant weather for many days. If these state
ments are true, (and we make them not more
confidently and positively than those who have
attested their truth from actual observation) we
have a barometer provided hy nature, more to be
depended on than the most ingenious contrivance
of human skill, and to which all Uiy have easy
access.
Ages of Presidents. —lt is believed that Gen.
Washington was 57, Mr. Adam* 63, Mr. Jeffer
son 56, Mr. Madison 53, and Mr. Monroe 59,
when they were severally elected to the Presi-1
! of the United States. It is now said that!
i the billowing are the ages of the several gentle- 1
! men who have been mentioned as candidates for
■ that high and honourable station—Mr. Crawford
58, Gen. Jackson 58, Mr. Adams, 55, Mr. Clin- ;
ton 53, Mr. Clay 48, and Mr. Calhoun 38.
