POETRY.
the crucifixion.
By James Montgomery.
[We should Teel some difficulty in pointing oat
any sonnet in the English language possessed
of so much real power and sublimity .]
Port Folio.
I asked the heavens—“ What foe to God hath
done
This unexampled deed ?”—The heavens exclaim,
“ ’Taras man; —and we, in honour, snatch’d the
sun
From such a spectacle of guilt and shame.”
I asked the sea ; —Use sea in fury boil'd,
And answered with his voice of storms—“’Twas
man;
My ware in paisick at bis crime recoil’d,
Disclos’d the abyss, and from the centre ran.”
I ask’d the earth;—the earth replied aghast,
“ ’Twas suau; —and such strange pangs my bo
som rent,
That still I groan and shudder at the past.”
To man, gay, smiling, thoughtless man, 1 went,
And asked him next; —Ht turned a scornful eye,
Bfiook hiaproud head, and deign’d me no reply.
iPSALM LXXVi. VERSIFIED.
From a late English Magazine.
In Judah the name of JehoTah is known,
In the chorus of Israel triumphantly swelling;
In Salem's high places is planted his throne,
And on Sion's fair hill is his glorious dwelling.
There brake he the arrows, there brake he the ‘
bow,
There brake he the shield, and Ihe sword, and
the battle;
And worthier honour the mountain shall know,
Than the hills where the shafts of the plunder
ers rattle.
Sfall’n are the proud and despoil'd of their store,
Ami the slumber of death is the sleep they are
sleeping:
And the bands of the strong ones are mighty no
more,
And (heir triumph is turned to despairing and j
weeping.
•Oh ! God of our Fathers.’ both horsemen and car
At the breath of thy power to destruction were
hurl’d ;
‘Who may stand in thy sight, fearful Lord of the (
war,
When the bolts es thy wrath are abroad on tbe<
world 1
-From (he height of the heavens thy sentence was
heard,
And earth as it trembled grew still at the voice.
•W hen arising to judgment thy glory appear’d
And bade all the meek of tby people rejoice.
The fierceness and scorn of rebellion and pride
Shall but end in thy glory, and perfect thy
praise ;
Thou shall turn all the darts of the wicked aside,
And crush all thy foes, oh Tiiou Ancient of
Days’
Then pay ye your vows to the great King of kings,
And be faithful all ye that assemble before him ;
While each servant of God his peace-offering
brings
And serve Win, and magnify, fear and adore
him !
MISCELLANY.
From the London Quarterly Review, 1816.
POWER OF THE IMAGINATION.
One of tne moil sn kin*/ instances ot the
amazing influence which the imagination
possesses, out over the feelings merely, but
upon the actual state and functions of the
bodily organisation, is related by Professor
Hufeland ; this case is so interesting, and I
we may add, so instructive, that we are
tempted, notwithstanding its length, to lay
it before our readers.
“ A student at Jena, about 16 years of
age, having a weak and irritable nervous
frame, but in other respects healthy, left
his apartments during twilight, and sudden
-1 y returned with a pale, dismal countenance,
assuring his companion that he was doomed
to die iu thirty six hours, or at nine o’clock
in the morning of the second day. This
sudden change of a cheerful young mind,
naturally alarmed bis but no expla
nation was given of its cause. Every at
tempt at ridiculing this whimsical notion
was fruitless, and he persisted in affirming
that his death was certain anJ inevitable.
A numerous circle of his fellow-stodeDts
soon assembled, with a view to dispel those
gloomy ideas, and to convince hicn of his
folly, by arguments, satire and mirth. He
remained, however, unshaken in bis strange
conviction ; being apparently inanimate in
their company, and expressing his indigna
tion nt the frolicks and witticisms applied to
his peculiar situation. Nevertheless, it
was conjectured that a calm repose during
the night would produce a more favourable
change in his fancy ; but sleep was banish
ed, and the approaching disolution engros
sed his attention during the nocturnal hours
F.arly next morning, be sent for professor
Hufeland, who found him employed in mak
ing arrangements for his burial; taking an
affectionate leaf eof his friends; and on the
point of concluding a letter to Lis father:
in which he announced the fatal catastro
phe that was speedily to happen. After
examining bis condition of mind and body,
the professor could discover no remarka
ble deviation from his usual state of health,
excepting a small contracted pulse, a pale
countenance, doll or drowsy eye*, and cold
extremities: these symptoms, however,
sufficiently indicated a general spasmodick
gction of the nervous system, which also
exerted its influence over (be mental facul
ties. The most serious reasoning on the
subject, and all (be philosophical and medi
cal eloquence of Dr. Hufeland had not the
desired effect; and though the student ad
mitted that there might be no ostensible
cause of death discoverable, yet this very
circumstance was peculiar to his case; and
such was his inexorable destiny, that he
must die next morning, without any visible
i morbid symptoms. In this dilemma, Dr.
Hufelsnd proposed to treat him as a pa
tient. Politeness induced the latter to ac
cept of such of such offer, but he assured
Ihe physician that medicines would not op
erate. As no time was to be lost, there be
ing only twenty-four hours left for his life,
Dr. Hofeland deemed proper to direct such
remedies as prove powerful excitants, in or
der to rouse the vital energy of his pupil,
and to relieve him from his captivated fan
cy. Hence he prescribed a strong emelick
and purgative; ordered blisters to be appli
ed to both calves of the legs, and at the
same time stimulating clysters to be admin
istered. Quietly submitting to the doctor's
treatment, he observed, that his body being
already half a corpse, all means of recover
ing it would be in va : n. Indeed Dr. llufe
land was not a little surprised, on his re
peating his visit in the evening, to learn
that the emetick had but very little operat
ed, and that Ihe blisters had not even red
dened the skin. The case became more
serious; and the supposed victim of death
I began to triumph over the incredulity of
j the professor and bis friends. Thus cir
cumstaoced. Dr. Hnfeiaod perceived, how
j deeply and destructively that mental spasm
must have acted on the body, to produce a
; degree of insensibility from which the
; worst consequences might be apprehended,
j All the inquiries into tbe origin of this singu
lar belief had hitherto been unsuccessful,
j Now only, he disclosed the secret to one of
his intimate friends, namely, that on the
preceding evening he had met with a white
figure in Ihe passage, which nodded to him,
’ and, in the same moment, be heard a voice
| exclaiming—“ The day after to-morrow, at
nine o'clock in the morning, thou shall
f die!”—He continued to settle his domestick
affairs ; made his will; minutely appointed
: his funeral; and even desired his friends to
; send for a clergymanwhich request, how
, ever, was counteracted. Night appeared,
! and he began to compote the hours he had
:to live, till the ominous next morning. His
anxiety evidently increased with the strik
ing ot every clock within heating. Dr
Hufeland was not without apprehension,
when he recollected instances in which
mere imagination had produced melancholy
effects; but, as every tbiug depended on
procrastinating, or relarding that hour in
which the event was predicted ; and on ap
pealing the tempest on a perturbed imagin
ation, til! reason had again obtained the as
cendancy, he resolved upon the following
expedient: Having a complaisant patient,
who refused not to take the remedies pre
scribed for him. (because he seemed con
scious of tbfe superinur agency of his miod
over that of the body.) Dr, Hufeland had
recourse to laudanum, combined with ihe
extract of hen bane : twenty drops of the
former, and two grains of the latter, were
given to the youth, with such effect, that
he fell ioto a profound sleep, from which
he d;d not awake till eleven o’clock on tbe
next morning. Thus, (he prognosticated
latal hour elapsed; and his friends, waiting
to welcome the bashful patient, who had
agreeably disappointed them, turned the
whole affair into ridicule. The first ques
tion, however, after recovering from this
artificial sleep, was—“what is the hour of
the morning?'’ On being informed that his
presages had not been verified bv experi
ence, he assured the company that all these
transactions appeared but a dream. After
that time, he long enjoyed a good state of
health, and tvas completely cured of a mor
bid imagination.”
“ Had this yooth fallen into less sagacious
hands, the event would, it is more than
probable, have answered to the prediction;
and the occurrence would have stood as ir
refragable evidence of that creed which im
agines that the titpes have not long since
passed of individual and immediate commu
nication between the world of sense and the
world ot spirits. Hoiv the fancv originated,
it is difficult to say ; but it is not less diffi
cult to explain the phenomena of dreams.”
F rom the London Morning Chronicle
THE GREEKS.
VVe avail ourselves of this opportunity to
recapitulate shortly the grievances under
which tho poor Greeks laboured, to shew
that there never was a cause more just and
sacred than that in which they have em
barked. This summary is taken from the
manuscript of an English gentleman long
resident in Turkey, which he has kindly
communicated to us.
“1. The manner of Levying the Capita
tion Tux -To this all the Greeks, with the
exception of a small number of individuals
employed io the service ol the Porte, were
liable. Its amount does not exceed 20 pi
astres a year for each person, but the in
conveniences to which it exposes them are
of an intolerable nature. Every Greek
who may happen, through forgetfulness, to
leave his Ilaratsch or Certificate at borne,
is liable to be seized by Turkish guards,
and thrown into a wretched prison, when
he is sure to he detained, tortured and tor
mented, till be pays a penally in money, of
which the Haratschy or Farmer of this
branch of revenue fixes the amount, though
the Certificate may be produced after the
arrest.
u 2. Denial of Justice. —lt is utterly im
’ possible for a Greek wronged by a Turk to
j obtain justice either from the Government
!°r lo c*l tribunals and authorities. The
! very application would expose himself, and
;eyen his family and connexions, lo assassin
ation from the 1 urks the very first oppor
tunity. Crimes of this kmd are Yietved as
a mere matter of course. The authorities,
who view the life of a Greek nothing in
comparison with that of a Mahomedan, can
hardly he otherwise than passive.
“3. Exposure to the caprice of Function *
arics. —The Greeks are often put to death
from the mere caprice of momentary ill
humour of the individual invested with the
power of condemnation. Hut the Govern
ment is in the odious practice of watching
the progress in wealth of Greek bankers,
merchants and others, and when nuy of
IT hem are supposed to be rich, sudden calls
are made on them for large donations, which,
if they do not instantly comply with, they
are thrown into prison, and tortured until
they yield, and frequently put to death, if
from unwillingness or inability, they do not
come forward with the expected sum, in
which case all their property which can
come within the reach of the Government
is confiscated, when the family of the un
happy victim is often left in distress and
beggary.
“4. Authorized dept cJations of the .Mili
tary and others. —ln all great cities where
military are statioued or recruits are raised,
the Greek shopkeepers and other trades
men are publickly and authoritatively rob
bed of their goods and money, aud threat
ened with and exposed to instant death, if
they make the slightest resistarce. The
Greek communities, as a body, are also ex
posed to avanies, or arbitrary exactions, im
posed by the local authorities, wherever
uny breach of Ihe publick peace is commit
ted by one or more individuals suspected to
be Greek, but who have contrived to evade
the pursuit of justice.
“a. The total absence of Laws and Reg
ulations.—The Greeks are exposed to all
the above evils, without having the slight
est beuefit of appeal, from the total absence
of all laws and regulations. They are al
lowed the benefits of not being bought and
sold, but in every other sense of the word
they are slaves.”
These were a few of the leading griev
ances of (he Greeks. But volumes might
be dedicated to this subject without doing
justice to it.
From “Sketches of Field Sports in India,” by
Daniel Johnson, formerly Surgeon in the
British East India Company's Service
*’ I had a remarkably quiet and docile elephant,
which one day came loaded with branches of
trees for provender, followed by a number of vil
lagers, calling for mercy,(their usual cry when ill
used;) complaining that tbe Mahout [driver],
had stolen a kid from them and that it was then
on the elephant, under the branches of the trees.
Ihe Mahout took an opportunity of decamping
into the village aud hiding himself. I ordered
the elephant to be unloaded, and was surprised to
see that he would not allow any person to come
near to him, when at all other times he was per
fectly tractable an obedient. Combining all the
circumstances, I was convinced that the Mahout
was guilty, and to get rid of the noise, I recom
pensed the people for the loss of their kid. As
soon as they were gone away, the elephant allow
ed himself to be unloaded, and the kid was found
under the branches, as described by the people.
I learnt from my Sarcar that similar complaints
had been made to him before, and that the rascal
of a Mahout made it a practice to ride the ele
phant into the midst of a herd of goats, and had
taught him to pick up any of the young ones he
directed ; he had also accustomed him to steal
their pompions, and other vegetable that grew
against the inside of their fences like French
beans, which could only be reached by an ele
phant. He was the best Mahout I ever knew,
and so great a rogue, that l was obliged to dis
charge him.”
Thales, one of the Wise Men of Greece.
A sophist, wishing to puzzle him with difficult
questions, the sage of Miletus replied to them all
without the least hesitation, and with the utmost
precision.
What is the oldest of all things? God, because
be has always exited.
What is the most beautiful ? The world, be
cause it is the work of God.
What is the greatest of all things? Space, be
cause it contains all that has been created.
What is the most constant of all things ? Hope,
because it remains with man when he has lost
every thing else.
What is the best of all things ? Virtue, because
without it there is nothing good.
What is the quickest of all things ? Thought,
because in less than a moment it can fly to the
end of the universe.
What is the strongest ? Necessity, which makes
men face all the dangers of life.
What is the easiest ? To give advice.
What is the most difficult ? To know yourself.
What is the wisest ? Time, for it discovers all
things.
Dr. Mather Byles having paid his addresses
unsuccessfully to a lady, who afterwards married
a gentleman of the name of Quincy; the Doctor,
on meeting her, said, “ So, madam, it appears
you prefer a Quintey to lilies" —“ Yes, for if
there had beeu any thing worse than biles , God
would have afflicted Job with them.”
A Marshal and a Monarch. —Marshal Villars
having quarrelled with the mistress aud ministers
of Louis XIV. occasion was soon found to send
him to join the army, then on a very disagreeable
duty in Germany. When he came te make his
farewell obeisance to the king, he made the fol
lowiug remark : “ Sir, I leave you surrounded by
my enemies, while I go to a place where I shall
be surrounded with yours.”
A convenient Nap. —Two Oxford scholars slept
in the same room. “Jack, says one, early in
the morning, “are you aslefep ?”—“ Why.?” re
plied the other.—“ Because, if you are not, I will
borrow half-a-crowo.” “Is that all? Then I
am.”
