ODE TO SICKNESS.
Not to the rosy Maid, whom former hours
I’., held me covet loudly, time I now
The melancholy lyre. No more I seek
Thy aid, Hygtia, fought so long in vain,
lfut ’tis to thee, Oh Sickness ! ’tis to thee
I wake the silent firings. Accept the lay.
Thou art no tyrant, waving thy fierce scourge
O’er unresisting victims, but a nymph
Os aiild, though mournful mein, upon whose brow
Patience sits smiling, and whose heavy eye.
Though moist with tears, is often fixed on Heaven.
Thou wrapp’st the world in gloom, but thou canst
tell
Os worlds where all is sunshine, amt at lenelb.
When through this vale of sorrow shou hast led’
Thy patient sufferers, cheering them the while
With many a smile of promise, thy pale hand
Unlocks those bowers of everlasting rest,
Where Deafli’s kind Angel waits to dry their tears
And crown them with his amarathine dower*.
Yes. I have known thee long, and I have felt
All that thou hast of sorrow. Many a tear
Has fallen on my cold cheek, and many a sigh,
t ail’d forth by thee, has swell’d my aching breast.
Yet still 1 bl-ss thee, Oh thou chast’ning Power;
For all I hies? thee 1 Thou hast taught my soul, ‘
To ii ‘I upon its Saviour and it* Cod ;
To look beyond the narrow bounds of time,
And fix its hopes of happiness on Heaven.
Meanwhile, e’en in this transitory scene, *
Os what hast thou depriv'd me? llasthy hand
Clos'd up the book of knowledge, drawn a veil
O’er the fair face of Nature, or destroy’d
The tender pleasures of domestick life?
Ah, no ! ’Tis thine to call forth in the heart
F.ach better feeling : thou awaken’st there
That uncotifin’d philanthropy, which feils
For all th’ unhappy ; that w.- rm sympathy,
AVhich casting every selfish care aside,
Finds its own bliss in si eing others blest;
That melancholy, tender, yet sublime,
Which, feeling all the nothingness of earth,
Exalts the soul to heaven ; and, more than these,’
That pure devotion, which, e’er, in an hour
Os agonising pain, can fill the eyes
Witli tears of testacy, and swell the heart
With love unutterable and divine.
These are tl.y gifts, Oh Sickness! These to roe
Thou hast vouchsaf’d, and taught roe how to
prize.
Stall I r.ow envy the luxurious train
Around whose path Prosperity has strown
Her gilded toys ? Ah! let them still pursue
The shining trifles : never can they know
■Pitch pure and holy pleasures as await
The heart refin’d by suffering. Not to them
Does Fancy chant her p ure and heavenly song ;
’Tis not for them her glowing l and undraws
The sarreii veil which hides the angelick world :
They hear not in the inusick of the wind
Celestial voice*, that in wlib-pi rs sweet,
Call to the lingering pilgrim, ‘ Come away.’
T hey see not at the shadowy hour of eve,
Descending spirits, who on silver wing
Glide thro’ the air, and to their harps divine,
-Ping m eoft notes the vesper hymn of praise ;
Or, pausing for a moment as they turn
Their radiant eyes on this polluted world,
Drop on their golden harps a pitying tear,
i’rosperily I count thv gifts no more.
One fervent prayer I brealhe—may God atiend—
If for my faded brovr thy hand prepare
Pome future wreath, let roe the gift resign ;
Transfer the rosy garland ; bid it blooin
Around the temples of that friend bi lov’d.
On wliose maternal bosom, even now
1 lay my aching head, and as ! mark
The smile which plays upon her cheering face,
Forget that l have evtr shed a tear.
Written by the late Hen ry Kirke While, when he
was only 13 years nf age.
TO AN EARLY PRIMROSE.
Mild offspring of a dark and sullen sire,
AVhose modest form so delicately fine,
AVas nursed in whirling storms,
And cradled in the winds :
Thee, when young Spring first questioned Win
ter’s sway,
And dar’d the sturdy blusterer to the fight,
Thee on this bank he threw,
To mark his victory.
In this low vale, the promise of the year,
Serene thou oper.’st to the nipping gale,
Unnoticed and alone,
Thy tender elegance.
fro virtue blooms, brought forth amid the storms
Os chill adversity in some low walk
Os life, she rears her head,
Obscure and unobserved,
While every bit aching breeze that cn her blows,
Chastens her spotless purity of breast,
And hardens her to bear
Eertne the ills of life.

JLU D’ESPKIT—the TREAD MILE.
Rcfoections, Metaphysical. Physological and
,i/o rut, excited during u protracted com
mitment to hie labour of the Tread Mill.
11 Down ! thou climbing sorrow 1” Lear.
In order to introduce jpyself tv ith due for
mality to the humane reader, I hate to ob
serve, that I was found guilty of the crime
for which I was arraigned—in (lie emphat
1 k language of the Recorder, “after a pa
tient and impartial trial, hy the testimony
of respectable aud unvarying .witnesses, by
a mild auJ intelligent Judge, and by a mer
ciful and considerate juryand was sen
tenced to six months* hard labour on the
Tread Mill. JMy first appearance on the
boards \va tn March last. On the evening
previously to my debut, the keeper came >o
1 me ami said that on the following morning,
at half past seven, my attendance would he
required in company with uther performers.
There is always considerable interest pro- 1
duced by new situations and modes of euo |
ployment; and on that occasion the inter
est partook more of alarm than of curiosity.
My inquiries vvere directed to ascertain if
there required any particular talent to com
prehend, cr dexterity of limb to execute
the (ask that had been assigned. The keep
| er assured me that the performance was
i adapted to the meanest opacities : “ Sir, it
| only consists of putting the best foot Ibre
•tnost; you have, only to consider yourself in
[ a marching regiment—it requires no previ-
J ous study; adding, that in one particular, ii
might he compared to swimming, which is
never forgotten ; and that the latter result
was the object of the contriver. At the
appointed hour in the morning, ! ascended
a tew steps, which conducted me to my ap
pointed station on the Mill. Our society
! was select, and clad in the same uniform ;
! and it gave me sincere pleasure to find that
. neither competition nor jealousy existed, al- j
: though we ail wore the yellow slocking. A !
i profound sib-uce was maintained for the j
j first three hours, when (he person who
worked at mv right hand said, 14 they intend
to convert this into a corn mill.*’ The per
son on my left, overhearing him, replied,
j “ it is a cursed contrivance fur corns, my
• feet are blistered already.” Throughout
: the toilsome travel of the day, I observed
i with satisfaction, that no man made a false
| tep. At half past four in the afternoon,
the day’s performance tvas corclndtd.
Liy degrees I became better acquainted
with my associates, the mojority of whom
concurred in reprobating the invention;
, they considered it impossible to etfecl a
• moral reformation hy teaching a man to he
| a foot pad. But there were some so phys
ically callous and morally unrelenting, that
the discipline seemed not to make the
slightest impression on their bodies or
minds. A fellow, who was a lamp-lighter, j
i laughed at the labour; he said it was much |
easier than his own trade, am! he should
consider the period rs his commilment as
an holiday. A short (hick set lad, who was
a pot-hoy, declared that (hawing beer all
day and the greater part of the night was
much more fatiguing. A chimney sweeper
said, it was a clean and genteel profession;
and a Radical affected to admire the inven
tior., because it proceeded on revolutionary
principles. A humorous chap, who was
classically educated, and had a poetical turn,
rolled the mill the gradits ad Parnnssum,
and the labour, scanning. Suffice it to say,
(hat the same unvarying and monotonous
rotation continued during the period of my
commilment.
It now remains to communicate the re
flection* that occurred, while I was a work
ing bee in this hive of reform. For the
first wet k Ihe treading wa* distressing, and
accompanied with considerable pain and
MilTne-s in the calves of Ihe legs and mus
cles of the thighs; ibis, however, gradual
ly diminished, and in the course of a month
I perform* * the labour with alacrity, and
only viewed it as a species of training. 1
‘lhe appetite tvas much increased; but for
this salutary symptom there was no extra
provision, the means of satisfying the in
crease being denied. As the toil proceed
ed, the thread of life was spun from a staple
progressively finer; and when !he six
months had expired, a very delicate lift
tnenl appeared toconneci togetherthe body
aud ihe soul. This labou*’, with restricted
(Let, would be a certain remedy in cases of
obesity ; and (he mill might he safely rec

their deputies, masters and wardens of com
panies, church wardens,overseers and sides
men, butchers’ wive', and landladies in the
district of Wapping.
That the Tread Mill, tinder proper reg
ulations, may become a valuable age A in
the cure ol chronick disorders, there is ev
ery reason to expect ; and it i to be hoped
that valetudinarians may be accommodated
with some establishment for this purpose.
In wet weather, under proper shelter, suf
ficient exercise might be taken in the open
air without the chance of catching cold ;and
as the circular wheel resembles the cylin
der of a hand organ, a trilling expense
would furnish a set of delightful tunes, com
mencing with solemn adagio* and progres
sively advancing to the gayer movement*
of a wallz. Time, and the rapid march of
intetlr c\ will at some future period, dtvel
ope the improvements of which tbis saluta
ry engine is susceptible. The effects pro
duced on the mind hy the operation fihe

serve to be accurately communicated. As
perception is in a great degree quiescent,
there arp abundant opportunities tor reflec
tion. The eye dwells only on the >oards
that form a paliyjg to inlercept the view ;
conversation is prohibited, so that Hip ear
is unoccupied except by exclamation?,short
sentences or curses.
“ Diverse jingue, Lurribili favtlle,

Independently of Ihe strict injunction to
preserve silence, (here is a physiological
reason for the stillness that prevails. In
all slates of exertion, where the labour ex

ed lo permit a suflicieni supply of breath for
a continued articulation.

attention, becomes wonderfully improved,

DIED- —On the Stlth of January last, at the
‘Cherokee Agency, Col. Rutuhn Jokatiia.y
; Mkigs, at an advanced age.
Col. Meigs was a native of Connecticut. Im
j mediately alter (lie Rattle of Lexington, which
[opened the bloody drama of the Revolution, he
: marched a company of light infantry, completely
j uniformed and equipped, which he had previously
i organized and disciplined, lor the environs of
j Boston. lie was soon appointed a Major by the
i State of Connecticut, ami inarched with Col.
! Arnold in bis tedious and suffering expedition to
Canada. In (he hold enterprise of storming Que
{ beck, he commanded a battalion; and, after pen
i etratillg within the walls of the city, was made
I prisoner, together with Captains Morgan and
! Dearborn, since become Generals, and well dis
i tiiiguislied in American history. In 1776, Major
I Meigs Was exchanged aid returned home, hi
j 1777, Gen. Washington appointed him Colonel,
with authority to raise a regiment. Cob Meigs,
having raised a part of his regiment, marched to
New Haven to carry into execution a plan pro
jected for the surprisal and destruction of a part
|of the enemy at bag Harbour, on Long Island,
j where large quantities of stores and forage had
! been collected for the army at New York,
j Marshall’s life of Washington! says that Gen.
Parsons entrusted the execution of this plan to
Col. Meigs. He embarked 230 men uu board 13
whale boats, and followed the coast to Guilford,
(his native place) intending from thence to cross
over to the Island. Here be was detained for
some time by high winds and a rough sea; but
on the 53d of May re-eii barked 170 men, and
proceeded under convoy of two sloops to South
old. The British foraging party, to capture which
tvas one object of the expedition, had left that
neighbourhood and gone to New York. It was
ascertained howt ver, that the enemy’s stores anti
a small guard had not been removed from Sag
Harbour. The boats were immediately convey
ed across the land, a distance of about la miles,
into the hay, where the troops re-embarked, and
crossing the bay, landed within four miles of Sag
Harbour, at two o’clock in the rooming; which
place they completely surprised, and carried
with fixed bayonets. At the same time a division
of |he detachment secured the firmed schooner
and the vessels, with the forage which bad been
collected for the supply of the army at New
York. These brigs aud sloops, 12 in number,
were set on fire aud entirtly consumed. Six of
the enemy vvere killed, ami ninety of them taken
prisoners. Avery few escaped under cover of
(he night; having thus completely effected tile
object of the expedition, without the loss of a
single man, and having moved with such uncom
mon celerity as to have transported his men by
land and water ninety miles in twenty-five hours.
As aiiistk of their approbation of his conduct,
Congress directed a sword to be presented to
him, and passed a resolutiun expressive of their
high sense entertained ol Ins merit, atni of the
prudence, activity and valour displayed by him
self and Ins party, in this expedition.
In 1779, Gol. Meigs commanded one of the
regiments which stormed aud curried Stony Point,
under General Wayne.
He was one ol ttie first settlers of the wilder
ness winch has since become the State of Ohio ;
having landed at the confluence of the Ohio ami
Muskingum river?, with the earliest emigrants.
A government for the North-Western Territory
had been prepared, by an ordinance of the Con
gress ul 1787. Gov. St, Clair and the Judges of
the Territory had not arrived. Ihe emigrants
were without civil laws or civil authority. Col.
Meig? drew up a concise system of regulations,
which were agreed to hy the emigrants, as the
rule of conduct and preservation, until the pro
per and,unties should arrive. ‘1 o give these reg
ulations publicity, a large oak, standing near Hie
confluence of the rivers, was selected, from which
the bark was cutofl'of sufficient space to attach
the sheet, on wnich the regulations were written,
ami they were beneficially adhered to until the
civil authorities arrived. This venerable oak
was, to the emigrants, more useful, and as fre
quently consulted, as the Oracle of ancient Del
phos, liy its votaries.
During a long life of activity and usefulness, no
man ever sustained a character more irreproacha
ble than Col. Meigs. He was a pattern of ex
cellence as a patriot, a philanthropist, ami a
Christian. In all the vicissitudes of fortune the
duties of religion were strictly observed, and its
precepts strikingly exemplified. The latter part
of his life was devoted to the melioration of the
condition of the aborigines nf the country, for
which purpose he accepted the Agency of the
v.herokre Station ; and in the discharge ->f his du
ties he inspired the highest degree of confidence
in that nation, hy whom he was emphatically de
nominated “The White Path.” In all cases
they reveied him as their father, and obeyed his
counstl as an unerring guide.— National Intel.
Bonaparte said on hi? return lo Paris, from El
ba, that the Dutchets D’Angonleme was the only
man among the Bourbons. The Queen of Porlu
gol, however, the sister of Ferdinand VII. of
Spain, may be set down as another man of the
family, fctie still resolutely refuses to sign the
Constitution of the Cortes, and a decree has been
issued for her banishment, as soon a* her health
will permit her to take a sea-voyage.

the unnatural son.
A certain farmer, in Connecticut, possessing a
small estate, was peisitaded by his only son, (who
was married, and lived with his father) to give
him a deed of the property. It war accordingly
executed. Soon the father began to Gnd himself
neglected—next, removed from the common table
to a block in the chimney corner, t* take the
morsel of food reluctantly given him—at last, one
day, the unnatural son resolved once more to
try to break the afflicted heart of his sire.
He procured a block and began to hollow it.
While at work, lie was questioned hy one of his
own children, what he was doing. “ 1 am mak
ing a trough for your grandfather to eat out of,”
was the reply. “Ah,” says the child, “and
when you are as old as grandfather, shall 1 have
to make a trough for you to eat out of?” The in
strument he was rising fell from his hand—the
block was cast on the fire—the old roan’s forgive
ness asked, arid he w*s restored to the situation
hi* age and worth entitled him to.
Amidst the din, and tuioke, and soot of politi
cal smithrry—it is pleasant, (says the Baltimore
Chronicle) to look abfoad occasionally, inlo the
green fields of moral cultivation, and to inhale a
purer atmosphere. Casting our eyes over a Phil
adelphia paper, we observe a report of the first
school district of the State of Pennsylvania. It
states that nine thousand five hundred and twen
ty-eight children have, in the short space of four
years, partaken of the benefits of public): instruc
tion in the publick schools of that State, formed
on the Lancaster model. So many young immor
tal soul*, are, by the exercise of Christian and
practical philanthropy, put of discipline
for flie enjoyment of ctleitiu] glory, and have
been taught the first rudiments of Heaven.
Where shall we find the legislator, in such a
broad, expanded blare of’ benevolence 1 He is
lost—we must look with a microscope define we
can find the space that is occupied hy his pre
sence.
A poor infatuated wretch went into a grocery
store, n few days since, in Albany, ami requested
a glass of gin to mix with some medicine which
he was ordered tn take—holding the same in a
vial. A number of persons were in the store at
the time, and one of them took the via), as if to
mix the liquor for him ; but on discovering it to
be laudanum, it was dexterously exchanged for
n glass of Stoughton’* bitters and Water, which
the poor wretch drunk off, saying he was satisfied,
ami as he walked out of the store, remarked that
he would now go and look for a place to lie down
and sleep his last, for he fi-lt the laudanum al
ready begin to operate.— N. Y. paper.
FROM THE BOSTOX GALAXY.
Extract of a Dialogue overheard the 4th instant
at Washington.
“ Is any thing important before the House to
day ?”
“No Sir. There is nothing before the House
but Mr. . arid he is a thing not important.”
“ Is Mr. making his speech to-day ?”
“No Sir. It has been made a long time. He
is only delivering it to-day.”
A few days ago a notorious informer came be
fore one of (he Magistrates of Row-street Police
office, who is remarkable for hi* quickness of re
partee, and said to him, “ If you please, your
Worship, I came to complain of a newspaper,
which, iri its reports about my informing against
publicans, has been taking my chaiactgr away.”
Indeed,” —replied his Worship—“ Well, then,
you should go and thank them for it, as 1 should
suppose there is nothing you would be so glad to
lose, as your character. The informer sneaked
away amidst the laugh of all present.
Timon, Ihe Athenian, being asked why he hat
ed all mankind, sullenly answered, ”1 hate the
bad ; the rest, far not hating them.”
An idle and worthless man is worse than a
dead roan, for the former is more expensive than
the latter, and at the same time equally useless.
Love is a blind emotion, which does not always
suppose merit in its object; yet it is far more
flattering to a handsome woman to he beloved by
a man of merit than to be adored by a fool.
