POETRY. ’he following linei are from the Monthly Repos itory, and refer to the death of the Rev. John Davis. of Collumpton, England. There is many an harp for the yonng man's doom, That is tun'd to the notes of woe ; 8t alas ! they are rante o’er the old man’s tomb, j Though he liv'd like a saint below. [There is many a tear over beauty’s grave, And warm from the heart they rise— And why less warm are the tears that lave The spot where the good man lies ’ Is it nothing to keep the soul still young, When the frame where it dwells grows old ? Or less should a beautiful lile be sung, Than the charnu of an egrthly mould ? No, old man, no—one passing lay, Though a powerless lay it be, Shall be given to the thought o( the silent clay, Which it all that is left of thee. Though thy life was pass'd in the humble shade, Yet it brightened the shade around ; And every step that thy meek foot made, Was made upon holy ground. Thou hast seen thy friends around thee fall, Thou hast liv’d through years of pairs— And now thou hast reach'd the goal of all, And brokeu a frail world's chain. O I rest in peace till the day for which Thou hast look’d with a Christian's eye ; Faith, [lope and Love have made thee rich, In the gold of a purer sky. Though soon forgot be thy lowly od, Yet thou hast not liv'd in vain, For green above are the groves of God, Where the just shall meet again. MISCELLANY. THE I’IJfCH OF SNUFF. It is not many years since a widow of about twenty, ivho hud some business at Brussels Mopped lor a short time at a ho tel in that city. She dined at the ladle d'hote, and generally spent a part of the evening in the publick room. This youth ful widow, whose name was Dorval, was precisely that sort of a person whom the men all adore, and the women abuse. The former declared rhe wa3 the loveliest and most bewitching of creatures; and the let ter vowed she had not the smallest claim to beauty. Whatever were her claims, how ever, one thing is certain, that the coldest hearts found her irresistible. Her slight but finely roaoded form, though not too petite lor dignity, was a model of grace. Her features could not boast the cold regu larify which, in the cri<ick : s eye, const! tute3 beauty ; but the brilliancy of her com Flexion, the varied es[ ires-ion of her spark i ling eyes, and the bewitching archness of her smile, rendered her a dangerous ob ject to a man of sensibility. She had only been a few days at the hotel, when an En glisb gentleman chanced lodine at the pub lick Üble. He was struck at the first glance with her charms and being well acquainted , with foreign manners, he thought he might j address himself rather freely to a lady i Mom lie found at the table rfnote. He ! complimented her—she replied with spirit, j but with becoming reserve. The English- j man, whom we shall call .Milboroe, became every moment more fascinated. Puzzled, however, by the apparent inconsistency in her situation and manners, he asked if she would accompany nun to the theatre: she j refused in a tone which showed plainly that | she considered the proposal an insult. 1 “•Very well,” cried Milboroe, pulling out} tm elegant snuff box, “ then you shall lake n pinch of snuff.”—“ 1 never take a pinch | of snuff, sir. cried the widow, turning up ! her pretty little nose with an air of meff.i j ble disdain. “So much the worse, Madam; i you lose one of the greatest pleasures ini Iffe. i have tried All sorts of enjoyments;! one thing fatigued, another disgusted me ; j thi- pleasure brought repentance, and that satiety. At last I determined to lock for something of which I should net tire. It suddenly struck me that in my fits of vexa tion and ennui, 1 had found occasional re’ lief from a pinch of snuff; so l became a snuff taker five years ago, and from that time to the present 1 have had no erjnui. (-'nine, madam, let me advise you to try my remedy for this distemper, with which we are all visited more or less.” “1 have no occasion for it,” replied the lady coldly, l am not troubled with ennui, and if 1 were, S should tniok there are more rational means of dispelling it.” “ Name them, madam, if you please.” “ Reading, reflec tirrn, the otfices of benevolence, the plea sure of society.” “ Ah, madam, I have tried all that; readiog set me to sleep; re flection made my head ache; benevolence 1 own is pretty’ well, but one cannot occupy one’s self m that way from morning till night; as to the pleasures of society, I have been cheated by one half of my acquain tance and laughed at bv the other. lam therefore not very favourably disposed to mankind. So you see, madam, I have no thing left for it but to amuse myself in this way and opening his snuffbox be took a pinch and presented it to her. , Thoroughly provoked at what she con sidered unpardonable rudeoess, she rose to leave the room. “Nay, madam,” cried Milhorne, you must not go in anger.” “ I a.n not angry, sir,” cried the lady, then try ing to disengage her hand, which be had taken hold of. “You forgive me, then?” “Yes,” replied she, but notin the most placid tone in the world. “Very well, then, to prove that you don’t bear malice, takp a pinch of snuff.” A* these words the widow’s patience and temper both forsook her, she burst into tears. S me of the gentlemen present thee advanced, and one of them, Cctnpte dc S——, asked Milboroe in a haughty j tone, what he meant by insalting the lady. The Englishman immediately took fire; he replied in a tone of defiance which fright ened madam Dorval. She endeavoured to stifle the dispute, by protesting she was not offended; but the gentlemen were both too hot headed to be easily pacified; they dissembled tbeir resentment till the widow had left the room; but ns soon as she did, the dispute was renewed. In a few min utes it rose to such a height that a meeting was arranged for the following morning; and tbos, for no greater cause than a lady’s refusal to take a pinch of snuff, two men who were not destitute of common sense or principle, so far in their anger forgot both, as to be guilty of the folly and impiety of riskiog their own, and seeking each other’s life. Both, perhaps, repented when the chal lenge was given and accepted; but it was then, according to the notions of false hon our, so prevalent among mankind, too late. They retired to their respective apart ments. Milborne wrote two or three let lers, and begun to pace'his room, deeply engaged in ruminating on the probable event of the approaching meeting. Suddenly he fancied he smelt fire; be threw open the door of his chamber and beheld the staircase enveloped in smoke. His first thoughts were for others ; he ran to the different apartments vociferating Fire! In a few moments eve.ry body in the house was alarmed; all hastened to escape; j and Milborne, on going down stairs, found , a greater part of the inmates assembled in j tbe street before the door of the hotel It was indeed time, for the flames were burst ing out in every direction. Tbe first per sod whom Milborne saw, was his antagonist. “My God !” cried the Englishman at sight of him, “ where is madam ?”—They looked eagerly around, she was not to be seen. ‘Oh, heaven!’ exclaimed the landlord, ‘she must be lost—see, her chamber is on fire.’ * A ladder quickly,’ cried Milboroe. * We have none, and if we had, it wonldbe of do use, you would perish without being able to save her.’ ‘ I will try, however,’ and breaking from his antagonist, who, shocked at the certain death to which be seemed devoting himself, caught hold of his arm, he rushed hack into the flames. *He will be lost!’ No, no!’ cried Comte de S , * Providence will not goffer him to perish;’ and he ha-iened in search of a ladder, which he recollected to have seen in the morning at a little distance from the hotel. He was fortunate enough to find it; in a few minutes it was re.ared against the windows, at which Miiborne was seen with madam in his arms. 1 God be praised,’ cried the Englishman, as he descended with his lovely horthen, whom terror had deprived of her senses ‘Gad be praised!’ was echoed by all pre sent, with a feeliog of mingled joy and ter ror, as they saw the floor of the apartment fall with a terrible crash. Milborne had found her lying insensible on her bed; he wrapped her in his arms and saved her from being burnt, but he was himself very much scorched. He delivered her to tbe care of the women, and it being by this time ascertained that no lives were lost,Milborne and the Comte hastened to convey her to her lodgings. She was at that moment hard ly capable of speaking, but she begged to see him in the morning. The gentlemen then separated to take some repose, but not before they had shaken hands in amity. The next morning Milborne waited upon the widow. ‘Ah! my preserver,’ cried : she, starting up as he entered, and clasping both his hands in hers, ‘ what shall I say to you ? how can I thank you ? bow can I ev er repay ?’ * Repay ! oonseDse, take a pinch of snuff,’cried Milborne, in a tone of af fected gaiety which ill disguised the emo tions the beuntiful widow’s fervent grati tude bad called forth. My readers will he lieve that that time she did not refuse.— * Don’t yoo find it excellent indeed,’ cried Milborne. ‘ Yes, excellent indeed,’ repli ! ed she, when the fit of sneezing which it ! occasioned had subsided. ‘ 1 thought,’ raid Milbourne, in a tone of triumph, * that yon could be prevailed upon to taste it; but this i nothing; I have with me samples of all the different kinds of snuff that arp used, and some which I have myself introduced, and have had compounded under my own di rection ; you shall try them all ’ The widow perhaps would rather have been excused from giving this proof of her gratitude, but what could she deny to her deliverer? We do not know how far she became a coonoiseur in snuff, for in a very few days Milborne found that hi * pen chant’ for it seemed to be superseded by another ‘ penchant;’ in short the widow’s fioe eyes caused certain uneasy sensations, which even his favourite amasement of snuff taking could not dissipate. One day while he was sitting with her, be suddenly flew into a fit of abstraction; and Li 9 box which he held in his hand, dropped upon the floor. ‘ How unlucky ! you have spil ; led all your snuff,’ ciied madam D trial, ! stooping to pick up the box. ‘ Nerer j mind,’says Milboroe, gently detaining her ; hand as she presented it to him ; snuff is a good thing, but it is not a panacea for eve ;ry care.’ ‘ Indeed!’ cried the widow arch ly ; * and pray when did yoo discover that ?’ ‘Not till today; I have taken three times my usual quantity, in order to put you out of my heart; but i can’t. I see clearly there is only one way to manage the matter satisfactorily. I must either marry you, or run away from you. Now, my dear ma j dam, which shall Ido?’ ‘ Run away, to be I sore,’ cried the widow; but what signifies j wbat a woman says, when her eyes contra dict her tongue. Milborne trusted to the former, and he was right; he pressed his l suit with ardour: mutual explanation took 1 place. The Englishman was a rich, whim sical, but noble minded being. Tbe wi dow was virtuous, well burn, but compara tively poor. No obstacle opposed a union which they mutually JesircJ. lu llie cotifdl, of two years after it had taken place, Mil borne was the happy father of two lovely children, and the infantine caresses and the attention of his beautiful wife occupied him so completely, that he no longer felt ennui, and we are assured that his Aiuff box was discarded. PROVERBS. “Many talk like philosophers, and live like fools. Neither give to all, nor contend with fools. No one so old, that he hopes not for a year of life. Never sign a writ ing till you have read it, nor drink wioe till yoo have seen it. Purposing without performing, is mere fooling. Speak well of your friend—of your enemy, say noth ing. Si! iu your place, and none can make you rise. The best throw of the dice is to throw them aivay. The best of the game is to do one’s husinem and talk little of it. Three things only, are well done in bast; flying from the plague, escaping quarrels, and catching fleas. The more you court a mean man, the statelier he grows. To be lieve a business impossible, is the way to make it .so. The man that is cheaply bought, cost but a salutation. True valor i* fire—bullying is smoke. Use soft words and hard arguments. Would you know the value of money, go aod borrow some.— When a man’s coat is thread bare, it is easy to pick a hole in it. Your looking glass will tell you ivhaf none of your friends will You may know by a peony how a shilling spends. At the gate which suspicion en lers, love goes ont. A9 tbe good mao saith, so say we—but as the good woman saith, it must be. A little house well filled, a little land well tilled, & a little wife well willed. Ao obedient wife commands her husband.— Bare walls made gadding house wise. Choose a wife rather by your ear than your eye.” PATRIOTISM. In 1777, when Burgoyne arrived at TicOnde roga, from Canada, lie built a blockhouse on Mount Defiance, which made it indispensable for St. Clair to retirt without a struggle. This mor tifying event aroused the whole country to make a desperate effort to atop the progress of Burgoyne —and every where in New England and in New York, the militia marched with more spirit and alacrity than at any other period, before or since. Every where lire same feeling pervaded—mother, and daughters were seen at midnight by a dim candle or a pitchknot fire, making knapsacks, mending clothes, or preparing provisions for the departure of husbands and sons for Ty , (Ticon deroga) to stop Burgoyne. One old lady, tit to be called a Spartan mother, and whose ashes de serve a monument, once told me, with great sim plicity, that it was a desperate time. She had, before her dear husband and two brothers march ed off for Ty, set up all night, to melt down her pewter spoons and plates, with the lead of the windows, to make bullets for them to take off with them—and she put in all the old linen of the house for the wounded. Her husband never return ed—the 19th of September was the last day of his life. He died at the head of his company in de fence of his country. Bost Com. Gaz. Mountaineert —ls partiality can exist in my mind for the inhabitants of any particular section of country, it is in favour or those who lire in mountain districts —no matter whether in Ver mont or Tennessee, or in tbe intermediate parti, for it is among them (bat liberty will have a home and a spirit of independence be cherished, if ever luxury and laziness shall fit the people of the low er lands of the U.

Sands, before the Court Martial, a circumstance occurred which it is needless to say, gave a very favourable impression of Com. Stewart. In reply to the question, 41 Does Com. Stewart treat his of ficers with cruelty ?” Lt. S. replied, “ No. ex cept his having reprimanded me one day far swearing , 1 do not recollect his having treated me harshly until my arrest.” JV. Y. Obs. Singular and pleasing coincidence. —The fol lowing is noted as a remarkable incident in the chapter of chances. On the morning that Gen. Lafayette landed at Staten Island, from the Cad mus, in Aug 1824, a rainbow was observed span ning the heavens, its bases resting on Staten and Loßg Island and arching the Narrows. This fact was observed at tbe time, and tbe circumstance made the subject of several paragraphs in which the fancy of tbe editorial corps converted the ap pearance of the heavens into a celestial welcom ing of the champion of freedom in two hemis pheres. Their imagination has now received matter for more ample indulgence ; and the re markable coincidence, related in the Washington papers, attending the departure of the Brandy wine, seems to give confirmation and stability to the creation of fancy. When the Brandywine put out to sea, the dy, which had been cloudy and rainy, was cleared up, and a rainbow enclos ed the heavens, beneath the centre of which the ship went gallantly out, freighted with more than Caesar’s fortunes. Thus, the Iris of the skies, the beautiful messelger of heaven, added her congratulations and her adieus to those of ten mil lions of freemen, joining with them to “ welcome the coming, speed tbe parting guest.” Com. old. Transylvania University. —The Editor of the Lexington True American, has commenced a se ries of numbers ii which he is canvassing with re al Kentucky freedom, the merits, or rather de merits, of the far-famed Transylvania Univer sity, and the publick characters of the President and Professors. He tells the President that stu dents are graduated, who cannot translate their own diplomas, and that those who have the name of writing and delivering Latin Theses, are com pelled to procure others to write them ! This lat ter task, the Editor says, at the late commence ment, he performed himself for some of the stu dents ; but he declares he will net do it again, unless the President will dub him an “ L.L.D.” Avery palpable hit ! We hope, however, the editor understands the Latin Grammar better than his English, else we fear his theses were b.ut awkwardly constructed.— ib. Notice.
