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. ‘ 45, succeeded by a tew weeks’ use of the carbo* 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. ■ —■■■ mil I !■ IM *■—> —'■ ■” On the first Tuesday in June next , BETWEEN the legal hours of sale, will be sold in the town of Sparta, Hancock Coun ty the following property, to wit -186 acres of land more or less, on Boffalo, adjoining Pearson and others, where on William D.
