POET It Y. THE SKIES.— By IF. C. Bryant. Aye, gloriously thou standest there, Beautiful, boundless firmament 1 That swelling wide o'er earth and air, And round the horizon bent, With that bright vault and sapphire wall. Dost overhang and circle all. Far, far below thee tall grey tree* Arise, and piles built up of old. And hills whose ancient summits freer* In the'fierce light and cold. Tlie eagle soars his utmost height— Yet far thou stretcbest o’er hi* flight. Thou hast tby frowns—with thee on high, The storm has made his airy seat, Beyond thy soft blue curtain lie His stores of hail and sleet; Thence the consuming lightnings break— There the strong hurricanes awake. Yet art thou prodigal of smiles— Smiles sweeter than thy frowDs are stern: Barth sends from all her thousand isles, A song at their return: The glory that comes down from thee Bathes in deep joy the land and sea. The sun, the gorgeous sun, is thine, The pomp that brings and shuts the day, The clouds that round him change and shine, The airs that fan his way : Thence look the thoughtful stars, and there The meek moon walks the silent air. * The sunny Italy may boast The beauteous tints that flush her skies, And lovely, round the Grecian coast, May thy bine pillars rise : 1 only know bow fair they stand, About my own beloved land. And they are fair, —a charm is theirs That earth, the proud green earth, has not, With all the hues, and forms and airs, That haunt her sweetest spot:— We gaze npon thy calm blue sphere, And read of Heaven's eternal year. Oh, when, anid the throng of men, The heart grows sick of hollow mirth, How willingly we turn us then Away from this cold earth, And look into thy azure breast For seats of innocence and rest. MISCELLANY. From the Trenton Emporium. THE FIRST ERROUR. Maty Conway was the flower of her fa ther’s family. She was young, and well do 2 remember that she tva* beautiful; tnosi - beautiful. There i* n object beneath the eon; nothing in this wide world, full as it is of allurement*, rich a* it i* in glorious proro ■ *es, and golden hopes, and spirit stirring dream*, that horns info the he-rt like the vision of youttg angelick loveliness, in tbe bey-dey of tbe passions. There is ; something so pure, and inoocent, and holy hi the mild lustre ot her eye; something o heavenly in Ihe soft and gentle smile (hat play* npon her cheek and lips; so much ‘ ethereal gracefulness in her form ; so many !’ attractions round her, th it it seems to m? 5 ’ a beholding intelligence from the court!’ above, would bend a moment to coDtem j plate and consider, before he flew to the eternal throne to enter the crime of idola 1 lrv again9t her youthful worshipper in the I moment that he had lust the recollection of ! his creator in gazing upon her. I look 1 back through a mist of years, but I see no object beyond it more distinctly than Mary | Conway. She married early in youth, advantage .qusly, and happily ; in age and fortune, her Ifcer wa* entirely suitable for her: their / Jh 100 were similar, above tbe ordiuary j M- firmly moulded, foil of sensibility, del £ <ty and spirit. And the morning of their Jpfcatrimonial life wore every prospect of a aod delightful, and quiet day of joy. if it seemed bright to others, it skeined doubly so to them; and lost in the plem tude of their happines, they forgot, if it had eter entered their mindg, how much care and caution, what watchfulness and forbearance, what kindness and prudence were necessary to secure the peace and tranquillity they now enjoyed. Love does not burn always with the brightness of its first light; bnt it often grows more aud more deep, sincere and unchanging as time roll* away. The feelings remain as tender and susceptible, after tbe shield that pro leced them from every unkind word or *ct has been broken. The business in which they were engag ed was a prosperous one; and Henry was a roan of business, industrious, attentive and intelligent. Every one who spoke of them prophecied that they would speedily real-1 ize a pleDdid independence. They were I the pride of Ihe village. Bnt how small a matter sometimes, gives an unexpected di | rection to the fortunes of kingdoms, cities’ and individuals. It happened one afternoon, ] aeveral mooMs after her marriage, that Ma ! ry had a little tea party, at which several matrons of the village were present, and as is often the case, a long and learned dißer j talion on the matter ol managing husbands, | had been given alternately hy one and an 1 other: and prudent wives kuow what such | amount to, and of how much value they are to young housekeepers. Unfortunately, I Henry returned in the evening, fatigued i and weary, in both body and mind, with tbe labours of the day. and took bis eeu at the table. His fuvoorite dish was not there. He inquired for it in a style that, perhaps, •avoured a little of reproach; it was unin tentional. Mary was in the presence of her •elf constituted preceptors: *he was asham ed, to appear too sobvinive before them,. 1 and besides her feeling! were wounded by > her husband's manner; she replied as she thought spiritedly, but it was really harsh. Henry east a single glance across the table,j poshed back bis plate, and riving left the room. It was the first errour. They were both sensible of it in a moment; bat who should make the firat concession, where both were sery plainly wrong? A* Henry walked down the street en gaged in unpleasant meditations, and envel oping himself in the glontn ; a bright ligh* from the upper windows of the village inn, attracted bis notice; he stepped over: a party of gay young men were about sitting down to supper; they urged him to join the | club The temptation undet thecircom stances of the case was all powerful. Sup per over, he delayed a little longer, and a little longer, taking bis leave; liquor was in rodnced, and he drank; musick came oeit, and card* followed; though he did uot join the last, he looked on the games with out abhorrence, the dread he had been brought up in of evil had been broken. Returning late at night, his spirits heated ; with wine, and the recollectiou of hi* wife's behaviour before him, he found her retired, and passed the night in another room. The morning brought a cool meeting ; the tormal interchange of a few word*, and a parting without explanation or complaint. The seed of discontent was sown; it bore the fruit that might be expected. His home was no longer the centre of attraction to Henry. His tavern companions were gay, good humoured end attractive, and he left ihe fire side of his own roaosion, which no longer wooed him as zealously and puw erfulty as the ale house club, of which he whs very soon the centre and life. The second errour was committed. Though unseen by their friends, a dark cloud now brooded over the fortunes of our young couple. It gathered blackness until perceptible to every eye; and when it burst carried rain and desolation with it. Driven to the- dangerous company of dissi pated, fashionable men, Henry contracted ail iheir habits ; he became a drunkard and a gambler. The domestick circle was de | sorted, and its obligations forgotten. Mary mei her husband's harshness and faithless ness with reproachf sand bitterness ; they both began in errour, and continued so. These occasioned loud and long, -and vio lent collisions ; a dreadful example was thus set before their children, who grew up dis obedient, violent and passionate. And though for many years the impending bolt • and rum was stayed, just above their beads, at last it sped. Henry died a lingering and awful death j His estate was found to be insolvent; his . children grew up to ruin ; and Mary, the once beautiful, and enchanting Mary Con way, ended her life in poverty and obscuri r. Thus fatal in its direct aod natural con sequences wa an errour; a single errour; i the offspring rather of accident than infen- i ion. I leave the moral tor others to trace 1 out and apply. j A TURKISH ARMY. \ The following account of a Turkish army * in campaign, is from a recent number of the ( Military Journal of Berlin: “ An Ottoman army may be compared to c those bands of armed pilgrims who at one 1 time inundated all parts of Europe; but in- j stead of a long train of pilgrims, bearing the , cross and ro?ary, a Turkish army is follow ! ed by dernses, clothed in strange mantles, f and riding upon asses, in token of their bu 1 mility They are at the head of a troop which carries the colors of the Prophet. After them come a light body, called the * | * lost children,’ who pillage and ravage ihe ‘ country through which the array passes |, They precede the limariots, or national 1 i militia, mounted npon asses or mules, pro i cured at their own expense, or rather that 1 of the country in which they levy their ,* contributions. Then come the infantry, j formerly the pride of the Ottoman army, ; but now entirely degenerated. They are ii armed with gun* without bayonets, and pis- ’ tol without poignards They march with- 1 out order, io detachments, like so many flocks of sheep Behind them are the top- chi*, or artillery men, whose cannons are , drawn by oxeo or Christian slaves, whose < pace 19 quickened by ’he la*hesof the whip, t Among these soldier* some are singing, oth- - * ere crviDg, and others firing tbeir pieces in ! 1 the air The rear ground of this mixture J is closed by a chief, richly dressed and,, mounted on a courser. He is surrounded , | by a crowd of insolent domesticks, or by j < slaves, to whom he distributes freely * stroke* of the sabre when they do not keep ■ at a respectful distance. Under the pro- i< tection of these domi*ticks are frequently 11 seen Greek sutlers, Jews who sell clothes, j Bohemian story tellers, and thieves and ex- i ecutioners. A Turkish apny never march- i es without a number of Jew commissioners, 1 who sell the barley for the horses, end ] j wheat for bread; aud wheD the army takes • | jup a position, all the inhabitants of the en ] vtrons, friends or foes, are put under con-,’ ] tribotion.” i| GENTLEMEN. | j Among the ten thousand pretenders tu the character of a gentleman, there are but few who \ claim it with justice. If a handsome broad cloth ! ’ coat, a Waterloo cravat, a chapeau of the new-! eit fashion, pantaloons, spotless and elegantly ‘ I | made, and buttoned at the foot, over boots the most polished, entitle the possessor to the digni- I , fled name of gentleman, their number would, I ‘ i confess, be much increased. But it is not to. I , The man who is perfectly polite at a party, who , j sings well,and among a number of select compa- . Iny of his friends can relate a story with eclat, may . not be a gentleman. The young blood, who . dashes tandem up and down Broad-way, whose manners are polished aad whose heart is not bad, may yet be deficient in (be requisites that consti- ‘ tute that noble character During the late war. a young gentleman, dres- * sed in the extreme of fashion, stepped to the post-’ office, and in a most affected manner inquired, “ Pr y Sir i have you any letters for me?” “ Why, j - who are job mi”-* j t “ Ms, Sir"— a fittl* Ivudsv tone) why, I am nephew to General——'” 11 Well sir, what is jour name ?” j “ W hy, Henry——” ! “ These are no letters for you sir.” •* No letters, why, is it possible ! My God ! I expect letters from all parts of the globe—” say ing which he moved off with an air of the most profound meditation, doubtless believing that the gaze of the crowd was fixed on him in admiration, and not in contempt. The illustrious Washington, the hero of his country, and the pride of the wodd, has often held conversation with strangers ; and no osten tatious remark smuld awaken the suspicion that he was the acknowledged ornament of mankind, until after his departure ; his astonished compan ion would feel a thrill ofpleasure as he discover -1 ed it was Washington. 1 There is a deal of meditation, deep and silent, that must lift the soul to that station. We mu<( ponder on the midnight pillow, over the strange events and nature of this world. We roust re flect upon time and eternity, life, and death, the wisdom of God, and the inferiority of man: we must take a view of the universe as a disinterested spectator ; disengage ouiselves from the grovel ling passions that preveut the free exercise of the soul, and elevate our thoughts above the little ambitions of our nature. Strange as it may appear ; to thoughtless youth, or prejudiced age, these ate the means which form the character of a true gentleman.— Mirror. From the Worcester Spy. AFFLICTIVE PROVIDENCE. On the 31st ultimo, the house of Mr. Nathan Jones, of Athburnliam, occupied by himself and his 6on, Ebenezer Jones, was consumed by fire. The men of the house were absent, and verj lit tle properly was saved. In the afternoon of September 1, Mr. Ebenezer Jones descended the well to obtain a bucket. He placed it on a hook, lei down by Mr Jonathan Wood, who drew it out— but before it was fully withdrawn, Jones was beard to fall iuto the water. Mr. Wood immediately followed to rescue his friend, and after having arrived at the foot of the well, was observed to stoop, apparently to raise Mr. Jones—but he immediately fell!—A cry of distress soon brought several persons to the place, one of whom was let into the well, by a chain secured around the body. He grasped Wood but was unable to hold him. He then proposed to his friends above to loose his chain, and fasten it to Wood At this moment however, he felt a ! great dizziness, and an almost irresistible inclina j tion to sleep, and in a faint voice requested to be I drawn up. Two others were in like manner let into the well, but neither of them could remain a sufficient time to fasten a rope to either of the deceased. , The well was 18 feet deep, and contained but two feet pf water. Frequent attempts were made to let down a candle, but the light was invariably extinguished, if it came within six feet of the wa ter. The bodies were drawn up by means of hooks, at 10 o’clock in the evening. Accidents of the above distressing nature, are not unfrequent—and they should teach every one never to enter a well or vault without previously letting down a lamp. If the air will support the j flame, it is safe to follow; but if otherwise death would be inevitable! Mr. Wood was 52 years of age—Mr. Jones 36. | INTEMPERANCE. A gentleman whose rentaj at one time amoun ted to £IO,OOO per annum, & who was in the con-, stant habit of intoxication, took an oath to drink 1 nothing after the cloth was removed -but, unable i to comply with *he spirit, he soon contented him ! self with adhering to the letter of this rash vow, j and keeping the cloth on the table after dinner! w;i over, could drink all night without fear of in- I fringing it. He then swore not to drink in his I diniug parlour, but again as easily evaded his en-, gege.meut by adjourning to the next apartment—i in the next apartment, however, on some fresh’ qualms of conscience, the vow was renewed— t and so, in each room successively, until he fairly swore himself out of the house. He then took refuge in the summer-house of his garden, and , there used to dine and drink daily—till, rashly renewing bi vow here also, he was reduced to find anew subterfuge, by tabiug lodgings in a neighbouring town. To preserve slams. —Having tried several meth ods of preserving hams from the ravages of bugs and flies, aud all having failed, ! concluded to try the effect of pepper. I ground some black pepper fine and put it into a box, and as soon as the hams were well soaked and drained, I took them down, dusted the pepper over fee r*w part, and put them back again. This I have tried two j seasons, and neither flies nor hugs touch them. I! am satisfied in my owd mind, that it is a sure rem-, edy, and deserves to be generally known. I was induced to try the experiment from the circum stance of knowing that ground pepper, mixed with sweetened water, and the yolk of an egg, would kill flies. Substitute for Ytst. —Mix two quarts of water with wheat flour, to the consistence of thick gru el, boil it gently for half an honr, and when almost cold, stir into it half a pound of sugar, aud four spoonsful of good yeast. Put the whole into a large jug, or earthen vessel, with a narrow top, and place it before the fire, so that it may, by a moderate heat, ferment. The fermentation will throw up a thin liquor, which pour off and throw away—keep the remainder for use (in a cor.l j place) in a bottle ot jug, tied over The same > quantity of Ibis, as of common yest, will suffice to bake or brew with. Four spoonsfull of this yest will make a fresh quantity as before, and the stock may be always kept up, by ferment'ig i the new with the remainder of the former quanti ty* Two English merchants meeting one day in a coffee-house, one of them in the course of conver sation, entered into a pompous display of tie ex tensiveness of his business, and among other; things asserted that the mere ink consumed by | his clerks amounted annually to at least £3O iter- j ling. The other, by way of trying the old adage, j “*o shame a liar, tell a greater lie,” —replied, 1 poht do yon boait of that trifle? —why, I save: more than dooble the sum every year by ordering my clerks to omit the strokes of the f’s and the dote of the i’s ///” Notice.
