ELEGANT EXTRACT. “ Let this idea dwell in our minds, that our duties to God and our duties to men, arc not distinct ar.d independent duties, but are involved in each other; that devo tion and virtue are not different things, but the same thing, either in different stages or in different stations; in different points ot pro gress or circumstances of situation. YV hat we call devotion for the sake of distinction, during its initia t ry and instrumental exercises is devotion in its infancy; the virtue which after a time it produces, is devotion in its maturity ; the con templation of Deity is devotion at rest, the execution of his commands is devotion in action. Praise is religion in the temple, or in the closet: industry from a sense of duty, is religion in the shop, or in the field ; commercial integrity is religion in the mart; the commu nication of consolation is religion in the house of mourning; tender at;- ution is religion in the chamber of sickness ; paternal instruction is religion at the hearth; judicial justice is ic'igion on the bemh; patriotism is religion in the public councils. ’ WAR HORSES. From Southey's Jlisl.r y of tin Penin sular fi cr,just puiimhi'il. Two of the regiments which had been quarter'd in Funen were cavalry, mounted on fine black long-tailed Andalusian horses, it was imprai ticahle to bring off these horses, about HOC) in number, and Romada was r.ot a man who could order them to be destroyed lest thev should tall into the hands of the French: he was fond ol horses himself, and knew that even man was attached to the beast vvhieh had carried him so tar and so faithfully. Their biidlca therefore were taken off, and they were turned loose upon the beach. As the) moved off, tney passed seme ol the country horses and mares, which were feeding at a little distance. A scene ensued such as probably never before wit nessed. lhe Spanish horses are not mutilated, and these were sen sible that they were no longer under any restraint of human power. A general conflict ensued, in which, retaining the discipline thev had learnt, they charged each other in squadrons of ten or twenty ‘member, then closely engaged, striking with their fore feet, and biting and tearing each other with the most ferocious rage, and tYamp hn-r over those*, which vvt.e ocatett down, till the shore, in the course of a quarter ot an hour, was strewn . with the dead and disabled. lai i \ of them had been set tree on a rising ! ground at a distance ; they no ooner heard the roar of battle than they came thundering down over the intermediate hedges, and catch ing the contagious madness, plun ged into the fight with equal fury. Sublime as the scene was, it was too horrible to he long contemplated and Montana, tn mercy, gave orders for destroying them; but it was found too dangerous to attempt this; and after the last boats quitted the beach, the few horses that re mained were seen still engaged in the dreadful work of mutual destruction.” SIR ISAAC NEWTON. Dr. Ray land makes the following remarks on the character and wri tings of this great philosopher. “ In Sir Isaac Newton’s Disse-ta tiods on Daniel and the Revelations vou see the greatest geometrician in the world, who understood the nature of demonstration, as well as any man that ever lived, bowing his understanding to the revelation of God, and studying that revelation all his days; we are assured, that his Bible was always lying on his table or desk before linn. IHe character and practice of this great man, is more than sufficient to weigh down to eternity all the Holingbrokes ar.d Humes, Kous sea”- and Voltaires that overlived or that ever will live to lhe end of time. Let the tnodern freethinkers or rather half thinkers or no thinkers hide their heads in confusion and darkness, instead of standing up with impudence against so great a master ol reason and philosophy.’ DR. AINSLIE ON THE TURK OF MORTIFICATION. To the Editor of the Lon hn Courier. Sir— Having heard it much re gretted by various professional men that something more certainly effi cacious in ai resting the progress of mortification had not been discov ered, and my attention having been very forcibly drawn to the subject at this time by recent and afflicting accounts ot deaths occasioned by this dreadful malady, I hope that 1 may he excused for the liberty 1 now take in making known to the public, through the medium of your universally’ read paper, v\ hat I found to possess very extraordinary pow ers in the sphacelous affections ot India. What I mean is tne Balsam (f Peru , a medicine perhaps hith erto but too much neglected; and this I was first induced to recom mend from having witnessed the loss of many valuable men, from mortification on the Coromandel coast, in spite of every thing that could be done to save them. My motives for having recourse to this balsam pro*, ceded from a knowledge of its stimulating and antisceptic qualities, and its peculiarly grateful odour, which admirably conceals the fetor of putrefaction ; and so welt did it answer my expectation, that I an not now aware time a single patient died from the day it wasj first employed; indeed latterly, while on the staff in the southern provinces, so great had become my confidence in it, from the various favorable reports made to me of it In* the medical oUlcers under my superintendence, that I could con sider it in no other light than as n boon which kind Providence had granted to us in such afflictions. Soon alter my return from India, about seven years ago, I published a short account of the singular vir tues of the Balsam of Peru in gan grenous and phagedenic complaints in the In st and second number of ihc Asiatic Journal, where it mav be seen, King the substance of a com munication which 1 had the honor of transmitting to the honorable the Court of Directors from Madras, and which those gentlemen were pleased to think so favorably of, (.hue they ordered it to be printed, and circulated all over our Indian dominions. I shall merely here state, that the modes of applying the Balsam is, lhe instant that the nature of the disorder is clearly ascertained, by fully drenching a piece of lint in it, which is to be laid over the face ot the mortified part, and this is to be repeated, morning and evening, till such time as healthy granulations appear, which generally happens about the end of the second day, when simple (dressings become suffi cient to complete the cure, j The Balsam of Peru smarts a good deal for a minute or two on being first applied; after which it affords an indescribable feeling of case and comfort; so much sg, that 1 have known many a poor fellow cry out lustily for it to he brought to his aid, and relieve him from the sickening odour consequent upon disorganization. I cannot conclude without obser ving that this letter is now submitted with great deference and respect, to my medical brethren ol this country; and shall only here add, that it will give tne a real pleasure to learn, that what had been found to be so valuable a remedy in the torrid zone for one of the must destructive cala mities which “ flesh is heir to,’ has proved equally -serviceable in the climates of Europe. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant. Will TEL AW AINSLIE, M.D. FROM TJIF, LONDON LITERARY GAZETTE. Mr. Editor —During a short stay in Paris in 1815, 1 was one day passing by the Quaidu Louvre, j where a grimacier caught myatten : tion, who was grinning for custom | ers to his master’s course ot Philo sophical experiments. The price i of admittance into a temporary shed which served for an Exhibition room, vvii two sous, I gave halt a franc, and my muni licence was re warded by a situation very near the philosopher. His apparatus was excellent. With a large air-pump he froze water by rapid exhaustion, without tiic assistance of absorb ents ; and by a converse experiment he produced fire by sudden conden sation of the air. Bit his most amusing and interesting experi ments were performed with a pow erful plate electrifying machine. — Many of those which were usual were shewn —one was diverting, a girl taken from the crowd, was placed on the insulated stool, and the young fellows were challenged to kiss her; several attempted it, but before their lips couldcome into contact, sparks from her nose always drove them off, to the great amuse ment of die spectators and the dis comfiture even of some young sol diers, who made the attempt. But the object, Mr. Editor, of this com munication, is to make inquiry through the medium of your paper, respecting one of the experiments that 1 witnessed. A pot oi mould was placed on the stool, on fi table ; the exhibitor took from a bottle a mouthful of liquid, which I then be lieved to be water, and blew it over the surface of the mould to moisten it; he then sprinkled some cress and mustard seed on the surface, and placed on them a round piece of tin apparently the bottom of an old kettle; on this the chain was laid, and the machine was worked strong ly for a time not exceeding a min ute. When the tin plate was remo ved, it was discovered that the seed had Sprouted to a sallad about an inch long! I was struck with the experiment, never having seen it before, and examined every thing about it, not to detect imposture, i for there was none intended, the exhibitor professing philosophy, not necromancy, but that I might be enabled to repeat the experiment when an opportunity occurred.— Since my return to England, I have tried it without success, and consul ted friends who are conversant with electrical facts, yet ignorant of this very interesting and useful one. If this iccount should meet the eye of any gentleman who can communi cate to you further information upon this subject, I think it mav prove of general interest. Q agri •!',* v'.l* APPEARANCE. I became poor, and ir.y apparel soon evinced it —I was universally avoided 1 passed through the streets as through a desert. I had three old hats—l gave them all for anew one ; put it on, and v/ent out —I was immediately accosted by dozens. My wife contrived to get up one tolerable coat out of two old ones—l put that on also, and went out —every one now recognised me, and I was shaken hands with at every corner. * 1 hose that unfortunately have more brains than bank notes, can apply the moral. N. 2". Com. Adv. From the Chuvlestou Courier. u MEMORI ALE PE SAINT HF.I.ENT'..’ This is the title which Baron I.as Cases Iras given to this Journal of his residence with the Emperor Napoleon ot which two volumes have appeared, comprising, how ever, only a few months ot Napo leon's captivity. He intends to con tinue the work at short intervals — which was in its commencement delayed by the detention of his pa pers recently restored to him. In teresting as was the account of Dr. O’Meara, and grateful to every in telligent mind as must be any appa rently authentic statement of the conduct of the illustrious prisoner who was enchained by the world he had subdued, the narrative of Las Cases, from his character, his acquirements, his facilities of ac cess to Bonaparte, (who could not speak English, until he taught it to him) is well calculated to excite the most eager curiosity, and will certainly reward the most attentive perusal. I.as Cases was a nobleman of the old regime, and emigrated early in the Revolution to England. He arrived in London, with only seven lonis in his pocket. He there avai led himself of his talents and edu cation, to procure a subsistence. — Under the fcigt.ed name of Le Sage, he compiled and composed that treasure of historical, genealogical, I and geographical learning, so valu- I able to statesmen and scholars, and | affording such happy facilities to the acquisition of knowledge. He left London soon after the Treaty of Amiens, when Bonaparte recall ed the emigrant nobility, and on making himself known to the Em peror, became one of his Council of State. Here his respect for the genius, the knowledge and the de i votion of Bonaparte to France, which he had duly occasion to ob serve, attached him so much to his person, that on the approach of Louis he retired from Paris; and although at any time he might have regained his station at Court, he re mained in obscurity. His attach ment was disinterested, because it was not given to mortals to dream of the miraculous return of Napo leon. His restoration to the throne reu nited the conqueror of the world, with its chronologist and its geog rapher . And St. Helena was hon ored at once by the abode of these illustrious friends. Such is a'brief outline of the au thor of lhe “ Memorials <fe Saint lie lene,” a work, which cannot fail to imoress mankind with new and un i common sentiments towards that powerful being, who, if we look at the terror which he inspired over the earth, would scarcely be deem ed to possess a redeeming virtue.— Bonaparte, in the narrative before us, appears in a most amiable light —dignified in sentiment —patient in suffering—warm with sensibility —wise in reflection—corteous in manners—accomplished in science —familiar with literature—and hap py and eloquent in thought and ex pression. With the more dazzling and conspicuous talents which have indissolubly connected his name with the history of the world, while the world shall endure, the world is already familiar; but it will learn these amiable impress ions of his character, with feelings such as wc welcome the mildness of the zephyr after the shock of the hurricane. [[From Las Cases Memoirale de St. Helene.’] The Emperor was reading “ Paul and Virginia ” —he gave full efleet to the touching passages, which were always the most simple and natural: those which abounded with the pathos, the abstract and false ideas so much in fashion when the work was published, were all, in the Emperor’s opinion, cold, bad spriU led. He said he had been infuri ated with this book in his youth, but he had little personal regard for its author; he could never for give him for having imposed on his generosity, on his return from the army in Italy. “ Bernardin de St. Pierre’s sensibility and delicacy,” said he, “ were little in harmony with his charming picture of Paul and Virginia. He was a had man ; he used his Didot, the printer’s daughter, very ill; he was always ready to ask charity, without the least shame. On my return from the army of Italy, Bernardin came to see me, and almost immediately began to tell me of his wants. I, who in mv early youth had dream.! ed of nothing hut Paul and Virgin I and felt flattered by a I which I imagined was repose I alone, and which I attributed I my great celebrity, hastened tore. I turn his visit, and, unperceivedb v 1 any one left on the corner ofhb I chimney-piece, a little rouleau, 0 f I five and twenty louis. But h ow 1 was I mortified, on seeing every one laugh at the delicacy of my pro . ceecling, and on learning that such a ceremony was entirely superflu. ous with Mr. Bernardin, who made it his trade to beg ofall comers, and to receive of every body. I alwau retained some little resentment to. wards him for having thus imposed on me. It was otherwise with mv family ; Joseph allowed him a large pension, and Louis was constantly making him presents.” GEORGIA, Jefferson County.
