THE POOR MAN’S HYMN.
A* much have I of worMly good
At e’er my matter had:
£ diet on at dainty food,
And am at richly clad,
Though plain my garb, though toant my board,
At Mary's Son and Nature’* Lord.
The manger wat bis infant bed,
His home the mountain cate,
He had not where to lay hit bead ;
He borrow’d e’en hit grate,
Earth yielded him no retting spot,—
Her Maker, but the knew him not.
At much the world’s good will I share,
Iti favour and applause,
At He whote blested name 1 bear,—
Hated without a cause, m
Despised, rejected, mocked hy pride,
Betrayed, forsaken, crucified.
Why should 1 court my Master’s foe ?
Why should I fear his frown ?
Why should I seek for rest below,
Or sigh for brief renown ?
A pilgrim to a better land,
An heir of joys at God's right hand.
MISCELLANY.
4 VISIT TO FORT ERIE.
Jin extract from a private Journal.
The following account gives some inter
esting historical information, and at the
same time shows the shocking effects of
war.
From Black Rock, I crossed over to
the Canada shore, with the iotention of vis
iting Fort Erie, a place of considerable in
terest on account of several battles
which were fought there during the last
wnr. The Niagara, at Ibis place, ha a
•mos! grand and beautiful appearance. The
waves, rolling in from the lake, above, with
very little abatement of their violence,
kept our boat in constant agitation; and
notwithstanding the great depth of the riv
er, the current is so exceedingly rapid that
we were obliged to ascend about three
quarters of a mile along the shore, and
then fall down with the current in order to
strike the point opposite the place we left.
The American shore is ornamented with
a neat, nourishing little village, and two or
three elegant seats along the bank. f)a
the opposite siJe is an extensive prospect
of a distant forest and several beautiful
groves interspersed among cultivated fields,
which slope gently down to the very edge
of the water. Above, the lake expands its
broad bosom, and presents the appearance
of a mighty sea,disgorging its waters through
this narrow channel. A short distance be
low, is a large 1-land covered with beauti
ful green shrubbery, and presenting a beau
tiful appearance.
sunn wit* ftPfltigui re nr res rm.
If is situated at the lower end of Lake Erie,
about a mile from the Niagara river, on an
elevated plain of about thirty feet above
the surface of the lake. This Fort was ta
ken by the Americans soon after the com
menceraent of the war, and continued in
their possession till a few months before
the restoration of peace, when they evacu
ated it, having previously burned and des
troyed every thing which could be of r.se
to the enemy.
As I stood on the principal bastion, cast
ing my eve over these mighty works, and
beholding their ruins, numerous associations
rushed into my mind, and 1 could not re- j
fuse k moment’s reflection on a scene so j
foil of interest, so pregnant with all that is j
gloomy, solemn, and affecting, and contem
plate the miseries and calamities of war;
to look over the field -recently covered with
the bodies of “ the slain in battleto tread
the ground once moistened with human
blood, and to call to mind the agonies and
groans of the wounded and dying, excites
emotions (bat defy utterance, and gives u
h more just idea of the real nature of war
than we ever gain from perusal of descrip
tions in which the distresses and woes of
thousands are forgotten in admiration of
some distinguished hero.
Here has the bird of war preyed, though
nothing now appears but the silent reign
of solitude and ruin. Hero contending ar
mies have met and bathed their swords io
each other’s blood: here the warriors fell:
the brave commander and (be ardent sol
diers bled and died on the spot where my
eyes rest, and now they lie beneath this
green turf, their undistinguished dust ming
led together. These walls upon which I
stand have been stained with human gore;
this very ground has been drenched with
blood, —with the blood of my fellow-beings,
—with the blood of my countrymen. These
waves, which now rise and swell in the dis
tance, then sink sod recoil, and at length j
break info sheeted foam, have re-echoed]
to the cannon’s roar and the groans of the j
dying. These wind*, which sweep over,
the wide waters, and hurry the anxious sai
lor and the still more eager passenger to
port, have sighed over these walls, as the
souls of the brave passed along to the world
%>f spirits. This mighty river has been
crimsoned with human blood, and has boroe
down its rapid current the carcasses of the
slain. These fields have been strewed
with human bones—the uneven surface,
the swelling turf, and the rising mounds
which meet the eye from every quarter,
mark ont'the graves of the dead, and ex
hibit in a degree, what destruction of hu
man life has here been made- The lake
lay in full ‘view, and ns far as the eye could
reach, no object intercepted till the remo -,
test vision was lost at the point where the
blue waters and the sky seemed to blend,
together, unless perhaps the swelling can- j
teas of some vessel engaged in the com
merce of peace, instead of conveyiog/the
instruments of death.
On this spot several important battles
were fought, in all of which the American
army was victorious. I shall only take
a brief notice of one engagement :—On the
14th of Aognsl, 1814, the two armies were
in fall view of each other. The Americans j
occupied the Fort, and the British camp]
lay at a short distance on the opposite side,
of the field near the edge of the woods.)
Their nomerous tents whitened the plain,!
and formed a beautiful contrast with the
dark shaded forest in their rear. As they
were drawn out in line, their glittering
swords, their number,and crimson equipage,
presented an appearance which might have
excited terror ia hearts less brave than
those that filled the American camp. The
day passed away without any unusual move
ments. The last rays of the setting sun
gate a peculiar splendour to the warlike
appearance of the’ camp.—The evening
gun was fired, and each soldier retired to
rest,’ but not without some foreboding
thoughts of the morrow. He dreamed of
battle, and of death; and his sleeping
thoughts scarcely differed from the waking
reality. About midnight the sentinel’s
alarm-gun roused every sleeping soldier.
The British had made an attack upon the
Fort with a determination to gain possession
of it. The onset was violent, aud the con
test severe. Our troops were thrown into
some disorder by being assailed so unex
pectedly. They soon recovered, however,
and maintained (be contest with unyielding
firmness and with tbeircharacterestick bra
very. The enemy, after being three times
driven from the parapet, which they had
succeeded in gaining possession of, made a
bold and- desperate onset, rushed forward,
and planted themselves on the large bas
tion beneath which was the magazine of
the Fort. At this moment, while the ene
my were beginning to exult in their suc
cess, the magazine took fire, and a most
dreadful explosion took place, which at
once ended (he battle and destroyed the
lives of all who occupied that battery, and
all who were near. Consternation seized
both armies, as they witnessed this awful
catastrophe. The light caused by the ex
plosion enabled them to perceive distinctly
the bodies of the soldiers as they were
thrown to a great height in the air, mang
led and torn in a horrible manner, mingled
with the timber, stones, and earth of the
bastion, and falling together in one vast
heap of ruins.— Free Press
Iron Rail Roads , and the Steam Coach.
When the steam coach is brought fully into
use, practice will teach us many things respect
ing if, of which theory leaves us ignorant. With
the facilities for rapid motion which it wilt ../ford,
however, we think we are noi too sanguine iu ex
pecting to see the present rapid rate of travelling
doubled. We shall then be carried at the rate of
400 miles a clay with all the ease we now enjoy
in the steam boats, but without the annoyance of
sea sickness, or the danger of being burned or
drowned. It is impossible to anticipate the ef
fects of such an ext-aordinarji facility of commu
nication, when generally introduced. EromCa
laiilaPetersburipor Constantinople, for instance,
would ne'Buf a journey of five days; and the
tour of Europe might be accomplished in a short
er time than onr grandfathers took to travel to
London and home again. The Americans, with
their characteristick ardour for improvements,
are now collecting information about rail-ways
and locomotive machines in England ; and to
them these inventions will prove of inestimable
value. Some persons doubt, for instance, wheth
er it is possible to keep so vast a territory as theirs
united under oDe government. But if is
forgotten, that extent of territory is a bar to po
litical union, only as it renders communications
slow and difficult, and that with the rapid and j
easy means of intercourse which the rail way as-1
fords, New York, New Orleans, aud Columbia!
liver, though distant respectively from two thou- !
sand to three thousand miles, will be politically !
and morally nearer to one another, than London i
and Edinburg were a century ago. Free govern
ments in ancient times were necessarily small, .
because they depended on union of sentiment in ■
the mass of the people; and one citizen would ]
not then know the opinion ol another at thirty |
miles distance. But the post, the press, and the j
stage coach, have made it easier to unite twenty j
million in a common cause in our (lays, than it was !
to unite the fiftieth part of the number in the days
of Philip of Macedon. And with the means of
communication we are likely soon to possess, we
think the one hundred and fifty millions who will
inhabit North America, next century, will be
more completely one people, than the inhabitants
of France or Britain at this day. It is pleasing
indeed to think, that atthe moment when thegi
ganlick republicks of the new world are starting
into existence, the inventive genius of man is cre
ating new moral and mechanical powers to ce
ment and bind their vast and distant members
together, and give the human race (he benefits of
a more extended and perfect civilization. But
we ought not to overlook the additional security
which an opulent and highly improved country
will in future derive from the facility of its inter
nal means of communication. Were a foreign
enemy for instance, to invade England, too steam
wagons could convey 50,000 armed man in one
day to the point assailed ; and within one week
it would be easy, by the same means, to collect
two or three hundred thousand men to one spot,
.all quite fresh and fit for action.—Scotsman.
j From the Boston Medical Intelliegenctr.
I Tic Dolocreux*, Curable.— lt has been an
j nounced in several newspapers, that his lordship,
j the Duke of Wellington, fs suffering severely by
| “ that incurable disease, the tic doloureux.” Be
; it known that (he word “incurable,” is, fbrtu
\ nately, entirely out of place in connexion. There
ie, indeed, now aßd then a case which resists our
most powerful and well directed remedies; but
this is true also of intermittent fever, rheumatism,
and fifty other complaints, which none but a cra
zy man or a dunce would call incurable. Nineteen
cases in twenty of the tic doloureux are perfectly
manageable. The seat of the disease and its na
ture are thoroughly understood, and the mode of
treatment is far from being complicated.
Let the patient’s constitutional peculiarities be
ascertained, the state also of the digestive organs,
and the cause of the derangement, indications
of cure sufficiently clear will be suggested by such
investigation, and abandoning all local applica
tions, which, whether potent or paltry, are equal
ly incapable of reaching the cause of the com
plaint, let the intelligent practitioner look well to
’ the primae vitae, and be will find that ninety-five
1 cases in a hundred will yield, and half these by
the mere administration of a drop or two of croton
j •Or Nervous Fate-Aths. ‘

d}te of iron.
[Of about twenty cases of this painful affection
skich it ha* fallen to our lot to manage, within
tie last five years, every on* ha* been cured, and
ttet too without an instance of a subsequent at
tik. If therefore the view we have taken is
cqrect, though the noble lord may suffer even
yq perhaps by the disease, there is no reason
whf the profession should suffer in the estimation
[ of Hie pubiick, as it certainly must if it is suppos-
I edjto permit He doloureux to pass as incurable,
• an* it ceitainlj ought if there were any grounds
I for inch a supposition.
Directions for raising Cabbages. —Take from
the stumps of old oobbages which you ret out
esrlyju the spring, the most prominent shoots,
after they have sufficiently expanded themselves,
and set them out iu thg same mode you do your
plants, and they immediately take root and af
ford you a very early and luxuriant cabbage.
Those who have tried this method affirm that they
are much earlier and by far superior to any that
can be raised from the plants. They must be
broken from the stamps, and not cut off, as their
small fibres greatly facilitate their taking root.
[Jvat. Ant.
The above experiment has been successfully
made in this town. One of our citizens, who is
fond of gardening, has the two years past, raised
excellent cabbages from bis early sprouts.— Jour.
From Iht Nett England Farmer.
TICKS IN SHEEP.
As great an evil as this may seem to be, the re
medy is both simple and easy. Boil a small
quantity of tobacco, perhaps what grows on one
good thrifty stalk would be enough for half a do
zen sheep, in so much water as when it is suffi
ciently boiled there shall be two or three gallons
of liquor—let it become sufficiently cool, then
open the wool along the centre of the neck and
back of the sheep, and with a bunch of tow or
some other spongy substance put on the decoc
tion until the skin becomes thoroughly moistened
therewith, and in a short time the ticks will all be
destroyed, and the sheep, instead of pulling out
and wasting their wool,by fruitless exertions of self
defence, will become easy and contented, and
suffer their fleece to remuin to be taken off by the
shears.
