POETRY.
From the Virginia Herald.
On visiting the Grave of the Mother of General
Washington, at Fredericksburg.
Mother of him whose godlike fame
The good throughout the world revere,
Ah! why without a stone, or name,
Thus sltep’st thou unregarded here ?
Fair pensile branches o’er thee wave,
And nature decks the chosen dell;
Tet surely o’er thy hallowed grave
A nation’s mournful sighs should swell.
Koine, with a burst of filial pride,
The mother of her Gracchi view’d—
And why should we restrain the tide
Os reverential gratitude ?
She to sublime Volumma paid
Her tribute of enraptur’d tears,
When the dread chief that voice obey’d
Which sternly curb’d bis infant years.
‘Thou, in the days of Sparta's might,
Hadst high on her illustrious roll
Been rank’d amid those matrons bright,
Who nobly nurs’d the great of soul.
For, disciplin’d in Wisdom’s school.
The lofty pttpil own’d thy sway ;
And well might he be skill’d to rule,
So early nurtur'd to obey.
No enervating arts refin'd,
To slumber lull’d his heaven-born might,
No weak indulgence warp’d thy mind,
To cloud the hero’s path of light.
Say—when upon thy shielding breast
The savionr of his country hung.
When his soft lip to thine was prest,
Wooing the accents from thy tongue,
Saw’st thou, prescient, o’er his brow,
The shadowy wreath of laurel start ?
Or, did thy nightly dream bestow
High visions of his glorious part ?
And when his little hands were taught
By fbte in simple prayer to rise,
Say—were thy own devotions fraught
VV ith heightened incense for the skies 5
Well may that realm confiding rest,
Heroes, and mighty chiefs to see,
Who finds its infant offspring blest
With monitors and guides like thee.
A future age, than ours more just,
With his shall blend thy honour’d name,
And rear, exulting o’er thy dust,
The monument of deathless fame.
And thither bid young mothers wend,
To bless thy spirit as they rove;
And learn, while o’er thy tomb they bend,
For heaven to train the babes they love.

MISCELLANY.
A SCENE IN EGYPT.
O-itian Beauvoir, an English gentleman of good
family, travels to see the world, and enters into
its vortices with such impetuosity as to destroy
his own happiness and those that are dear to him.
He abjures the Christian faith on account of a
beautiful girl who loved him, and turns Mahem
medan. He is in Cairo, having lost his Selirna
aud an only child by the plague, and despairing
on account of his apostacy.
“ I walked about haggard in the bezes
teins One day as 1 was returning home
ward, not a week after tbe death of Henry,
1 Saw a crowd with anxious faces, hurrying
towards the palace of the Pacha. Turks,
Arabs and Greeks were all mixed together,
but there were more Greeks thau 1 ever
remember on any other occasion to have
tern assembled in pubnckat Cairo. Tbe
Turks and Arabs were talking loud and
hoarse, and looking savage at the Greeks;
these lasl were grave and sad ; yet I thought
there was an air of triumph about them,
melancholy and mournful, but sldl of tri
wnpb, such as that with which conquering
soldiers look upon their own slam and
wounded.
“ In <he middle of the crowd 1 now dis.
covered the object of their interest; a fine
tall young man, with one of those pore
Grecian faces which have certainly a mure
dignified and more beautiful expression than
the features of any other race on earth.
He was clad in the habit of a monk, and he
was now on his way to a Turkish judgp, to
declare his resolution rather to die a Chris
I tan than to live on an apostate. The
Tui kish judge was in the court-yard of the
palace, and mounted on bis grey mule, was
just coming forth after an interview with
the Pacha. He silenced the reviling crowd,
and endeavoured to reasoD the unfortunate
out of his extraordinary purpose. I press
ed near, and looked steadily and eagerly on
Ihe offered victim. He lifted his eyes, and
fixed them calmly od the venerable looking
Turk. b
“ * l am come,’ said he, ‘ from the desert
of Sinai, For months 1 have fasted on that
holy mountain, in preparation for this hour.
‘I he rock my bed,; the water of that ecanty
rill, trnm which the forty Inartyrs drank,
and the daily dole of the convent beano,
my only subsistence. I bave prayed to my
offended samis for strength to bear this
hour. lam ready. 1
“ , £ be i ud g e evidently wished to save
bis hte ; he remanded him to his dungeon,
tor rte was already a prisoner
I followed him hack to the spot where the
prison stood; all the way he was repeating
aloud hie firm resolve, and declaring his
eagerness to suffer. I returned home, and
all r "*h! • thought with admiration on this
noble young Greek. I too, resolved like
hi.i to ~njure, me faith of Mahomed, and to
ask ll.e blow of the executioner. Yet, as I
we - walking in chamr.er, I, that had al
ready cooked death, I that bad embraced
, tbe corpse spotted with the pestilence, that
had opened my veto for the black poison,
and bade it mingle with my healthful blood,
in the sincere desire that it might corrupt
what is the life ; I felt that 1 shuddered at
the idea of a martyr's death.
“ I threw myself down, and tried the
prayer of preparation ; it would not come.
I could shape no form of words ; my heart
could conceive no prayer ; mv mind's eye
saw nothing bright or hopeful in the dread
ful future ; and my flesh, my coward flesh,
trembled.
“ I rose with the dawn and went out ; I
hastened to the prion ; the execution of
the yotiDg Greek hud been decided on. He
was led forth with his hands tied behind
him, and 1 learned among the crowd, that
during tbe night the Turks had made great
efforts to shake his resolution ; especially
his former master and patron, a wealthy
and wr.rlike bey, at whose incitement he
had turned Turk about two years before.
He was deaf to every promise, every al
lurement. He had turned from the offers
of wealth, women, land, horse", all the
fondest objects of his early and known am
bition, with contempt. They hud finally
tried the effect of torture—he endured it.—
His countenance indeed showed, from its
I extreme paleness, what be had undergone,
but though he looked weak, be walked
firm. It was in the large open space be
fore the mosque of Hassun, that the expec
ting multitude was collected to witness the
j awful and cruel and alb to which, by order
lof the Pacha, he was doomed. Many trt
j tempts had been made by his former master
to get tbe dreadful punishment changed fori
the quicker and milder one of beheading ; |
hut they had not been attended with any j
success, for the Pacha was a cruel roan and j
a bigot.
“ He was stripped naked ; a cloth around
his loins was (he only covering that con
I cealed any part of a naked frame which
might have furnished a perfect model of
manly beauty, for the imitation of admiring
sculptors.
*• I looked upon his form of life and glo
ry. Wa< it indeed to die !—and thus—and
so young ?
“ The dark executioners threw him down
on his belly, upon the sand, and with a ra
zor they gashed a deep wound for the im
paling stake. Before they had time with
their ready paste to staunch the flowing
blood, a dozen Greek", wounded and beat
en as they did so, had broken into the still
circle, and dipped their handkerchiefs in
Ihe stream, to them so naturally sainted;
but the Turkish guard instantly threw
bocket?of water all about to wash op the
precious flow, and many of his countrymen
were driven back with the blows of staves
and sabres, disappointedly.
“ It was a long and pointed stake they
now brought, thick as a man’s arm, and they
thurst it into his writhing body far, yet no
where out; they had fixed a stay upon it to
prevent this And now, with a barbarous
yell from all around, it wa9 raised aloft ini
the air, then planted firmly in ttle earth.
“Oh ; God—it is a dreadful passage to
the tomb. It was very horrible—his moans,
his quivering lips—bis eyes op turned in
agony. The sweat that stood upon his
forehead—his call upon the name of Ohri.t,
repeated oft with that fervour of belief,
which showed a mourning, .penitent and
imploring heart.
“ Three hours he hung a piteous spec
tacle, and there came close to the stake, a
man of great age, wiih white hairs, and
teeble steps, and leaning on a veiled wo
man. The Turk struck the elder, and
would have driven him hack.
‘ l ‘ 1 am his father,’ said the old man, ‘ do
not strike me. without it he to kill—then,
welcome. lam his father—let me look
upon my dying child; and this his wile,
suffer I pray ’ j
“ Then the captain of that Turkish guard i
was moved, and he spoke kind to them.and j
aked them for one minute to turn aside,
and he gave the signal to despatch htrn ; so
they took their mallets and knocked off the
transverse stick from the stake, and it
pierced and broke through hi while breast,
and he bowed his head upon it, and died j
with a loud (and it sounded a happy) sigh
11 Notwithstanding all the agony, sympa*
thy and shuddering, shrinking terror, with
which‘l had witnessed ihis dreadful scene ;
although l had felt the night before that I
bad a fear even of the sword of the execu
tioner, yet now, strange revolution of feel
it g ! my every nerve was strung up to a
like sacrifice. I ran forward—l called
aloud, that there was no Ged but God, but
that the Messiah -mas the son of God and Ala
hornet a lying prophet.’’ I clasped the no-:
paling stake, and asked to be its intended
second victim. The crowd would have
destroyed me on the spot, but for the guard;
while here I stood wound up to the saert
fice, and awaiting the sentenc of the judge,
who was in the mosque of Hassan, and to
whom some of the crowd had run, demand
ing my immediate execution—unthought of
at the moment—unexpected— not seen
even sincp lleft Alexandria, —at lightning
speed advancing, I saw and knew the noble
Malek.”
Malek (his friend) saves bis life, hut he
is confined for months in Ihe prison fur luoa
ticks. He escapes, goes to India, and af
ter a solitary life in one of the Maidive is
lands, returns to England repentant and un
known.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
Were a” individual to declare, that the next
time he undertook a journey in June, he would
| commence it in August, many persons would
, conclude he was a “ Paddy from Cork,” or at
least that the land of potatoes had the honour of
, his birth. But the Legislature of Georgia have
by a politick act declared, that the June term of
Hancock Court should be held in August, though
few or its members probably were bom on the
other side the Atlautick. The following is a
copy of the act;—
“ Bt enacted by the General Assembly&c.
| “ That from and after the passing of this act, the
JcKE session of the Inferior Court of Hancetk
County shall be holdet) on the third Monday in
August next.”
Assented to , Dee. 1824.
By thia act, it would teem the Jimt Court is
not only to be holden in August, but that al) fu
ture June Courts roust be held the third Monday
of next August—so that till the law is amended,
it might be a question whether the June Court of
Hancock could be commenced and held ut any
other time than the third Monday iu August next
after the passing the act. Whether there is any
thing like what in some countries would be culled
“ a bull,” in this, it is at least what might proper
ly come under the head of” loose legislation.”
Population of America. —The Paris Journal
de Debuts contains an iuterestingstatistical State
ment, furnished by the celebrated ,M. de Hum
boldt, respecting the population of America, and
the numerical amount of Catholicks, compared
with that of the Protestants.
1 The total population of America, (North and
South) is staled at 34,204,000.
1. Roman Catholicks, 22,117.000
2. Protestants, 11,287,000
3. Indians, not Christians, 020,000
Total population, 34,204,000
The Protestant population is increasing much
more rapidly than the Catholick population.
The black population is composed of 1,440,000
free blacks, and 5.079,000 slaves.

Unacceptable Gratitude. Capt. (we
spare his name) was walking last Wednesday in
company with the Marquis of Anglesea, down
Piccadilly, when he was accosted by a fellow,
half soldier, half beggar, with a most reverential
military salute. “ God bless your honour ! [said
the man, whose accent betrayed him to be Irish]
and long life to you.” “ How do you know me?”
said the Captain. “Is it how do I know your
honour ? (responded Pat) good right sure 1 have
to know the man who had saved my life in battle.”
The Captain highly gratified at this tribute to his
valour in such hearing, slid half a crown into
his hand, and asked him when? “God bles
your honour, and long life to yon; (said the
grateful veteran) sure it was at New Orleans,
when, seeing your honour run away as hard as
your legs could carry you, from the Yankees, I
followed your lead, and ran after you out of the
way ; whereby, under God, 1 saved my life. O,
good luck to your honour, 1 never will forget
you.” —London paper.
Hugs destroyed by St earn —Steam is said to be an
effectual means of destroying this noxious insect.
It is only necessary to expose the place where
they herd for a short time to the action of steam,
and tbe more the wafer boils, the better; it kilts
the eegs as well as the vermin. The employment
of this method is both so convenient and so clean
ly, that we think we need say nothing of the
mode of applying it, nor by way of recommend
ing it to trial.— Glasgow Mec. Mag.
Mr. Gcieu,
Be pleased to insert (be following in your next
paper:
There is within Hie limits of this Corporation,
a Tulip tree whose girt or circumference meas
ures 18 feet 8 inches, its height 144 feet 5 mch.es,
and the length of its shaft, or main body, 53 feet
8 inches. The Rev. Mr. Springer, (formerly of
this county) was ordained under it some 30 or 40
years ago ; which is believed to have been the
first ordination which took place in Georgia.

Chinese mode of catching Ducks. —The duck
catcher ascertains a place, in a small lake or still
creek, where a flock is in the habit of swimming
apparently for amusement, an hour or two each
day. !u this place he sets afloat several cala
bashes, or gourds, the company of which on their
first return the ducks do not seem to relish ; hut
seeing no harm done, their shyness gradually
wears off, and at length they swim among the
calabashes with perfect unconcern. When this
degree of familiarity is attained, the duck catcher
puts a large caiabash over his head, with holes for
his eyes, and wades gently into the water, with
his head only above the surface, till he finds him
self in the midst of the ducks, when he draws iheni
under water by the legs, till he can secure no
more to the girdle fastened for the purpose around
his waist. The next day he resorts again to the
same stratagem, and with similar success.

The first London edition of this work was pub
lished in 1818 —the second in 1821—the third in
1822—the fourth in 1823. So great a sale of so
large a work on such a subject, is t-he best evi

“ It is composed entirely us its title implies, of
selections froin/omgn journals. A few words
may show that it is, however, far from being ad
verse to our own institutions or literature and
that on the contrary, it may have an important
effect in preventing the dissemination of doctrines
in discordance with the principles upon which
our society is constituted. Some of the British
Reviews and Magazines are reprinted in this
country exactly as they appear at home, anJ they
as well as those which are uot published here,
embrace much matter of little interest and no ad
vantage to our readers —and which is not iinfre
quently fitted to vitiate their literary taste, their
morals, and their political principles. But while
it cannot be denied that there is in all these for
eign journals a large part which consists of details
and speculations which are uninteresting to Amer
ican readers, or mischievous in their political or
moral tendency, it is equally certain that a con
siderable portion of their contents is of general
application and of interest and value, and that
they embrace much that is iu a very high degree
interesting and curious—practical, sound and
able—refined and elegant ; much that will excite
thought and refine the imagination—that will
“raise the genius and mend the heart.” And
when we consider that the greatest philosophers
anil statesmen, as well us poets, criticks, and all
other men of literature, now find the periodical
press the channel through which their opinions
can he couveyed to the greatest number of men,
it will appear very evident, that a knowledge of
what is thus written and done abroad is necessary
to the successful cultivation of our own literature,
and important to the politician, scholar and man
of business, us well as to him who reads only for
amusement.
To persons who reside at a distance from the
great depositories of New Books and New Inven
tions, a work conducted upon this plan is pecu
liarly important, as affording to them an opportu
nity of keeping pace in some degree with the pro
gress of knowledge, at a very trifling expense us
money or time.
When it is added (hat most of the literature of
the day is not ea-ily accessible in any other than
this form to our families, it will readily he ac
knowledged that a work conducted upon toe
■plan of the Museum may be in a very considera
ble degree interesting or valuable. How far (ids
Joiiriioi has been successful in endeavouring to
merit these appellations, mut be determAed by
the publick ; and the rapid increase of the sub
scription list is the most gratifying proof of suca
cess.”
