■•Where is thy heme ?” I asked a child,
Who, iath.e morning air,
'Was twining flowers most sweet and wild

And smiled in childish glee,

Where soft winds wander free.”

And allliis rosy hours,
When every word is joy and truth;
And treasures live in flowers !

THE MACON ADVERTISER. AND AGRICULTURAL AND MERCANTILE- INTELLIGENCEB.
The Jmacellanlst.
From the Baltimore Minerca.
A NIGHT IN A TOMB. ,
The following recital we put down from,
memory. It was given lissome years ago bv
a friend and relation, v. ho happened to be I
"■hut up with the death for about twelve-hours :
during his sojourn at Genoa.
“It was a delightful afternoon, ar.d I had i
hecn sauntering from street to sreet, gazing j
in the shop windows, and marking with qu
ger curiosity all that was worthy of notice. J
Tired of theneiseand bustle ef the city, tho
pressure-of the crown, and the continual plea
dingof beggars, 1 determined to take u stroll
round the suburbs, and, it possible, indulge
aglow of romance, which seldom fail to over
take travellers who sojourn in Italv. The
sun tv as but a few degrees front the western
horizon, and from north to south stretched a.
lonir, narrow cloud ol a thousand hues, the
nether edge ot which looked like a stream of
molten gold- The clear blue sky—the hal.
lowed silence which seemed to rest upon the
lull and glen—the cxhilirating incense that
rose front the lap of nature, invited me forth,
and I wandered, scarcely knowing which
way I was bending my step.
I always loved to saunter in butial places,
there is a pleasing kind ot melancholy sur
rounding a-tomb, which-accords well with the
long and solemn sleep of the dead. It is plea
'.mt to contrast the simple epitaph of the hum
ble and virtuous dead with the pompous os
cutchcns and gilded eulogies of the illustri
-0,13 reflect on the unerring hand which
places he humble on a level with the proud :
the beggar with the king. I entered a burial
ground by the side of the road, and contem
plated the form and structure of every monu
ment, moralizing without the aid of Harvey
or koung, upon the mutability of human great
nes3. At the extreme end of the ground 1
observed a man at work, repairing an ancient
and decayed vault; and, thinking I might
have an Opportunity of meditating on a skull,
I advanced towards him, and for a while, con
versed with him upon his occupation. The
fellow was shrewd and witty, and like the
grave digger in Hamlet, turuWoJ th c dry
i bones about as ii they were lumps of* wood".
! It was a tomb Ix.!onging to ancient and illus
trious family ; l therefore entered it that I
I might tacc note of the manner in which it
was arranged, and meditate more copiously
on the perishable Bring calk'd Man.
A solemn silence of course, reigned in the
house of the dead, and the cotfins, with their,
contents—-the crumbling remnants of mor
tality,lay on each side, some still bearing the
polish of the maker, others rotten arid worm
eaten. I seated myself on one of them, ami
very naturally begun to meditate on the frail
ness of human vanity, the little span of life,
and the power ot dearii. .My meditation might
have filled volumes—beautv, wealth, honor,
strength, vanity, deceit, virtue, valor and hy
pocrisy, all lay on a common level before ine
—what they bad been 1 asked not, what they
were I know. How long I meditated I know
not; but J fathomed the mysteries of the
grave—-I plunged into the bottomless abyss of
eternity—l revelled with multitudes of de
parted beings, and even Scanned the laws of
everlasting life. Suddenly a mist passed
over my eyes, and 1 groped in midnight dark
ness; then again I was arraigned before tho
awful Court of Death, and ghastly forms stood
before me, while gibbering spectres veiled
most unnatural sounds in tny cats. I heard
the rattling of dry bones, and the hollow groa
ning-i of unfledged souls that were preparing
to , f’tdcr ?ho ghostly court. Lambent streams
ot fire ever and anon darted before my vision,
and gave me a bright glimpse of the glorious
heaven that lay beyond the horrible tribunal
bolero which I stood. I caunot describe the
dreadful phantoms that beset me.on all sides
—the cold and bony lingers that grasped my
hand and welcomed me among the eternal—
tho rattling jaws that pressed my checks, and
the putrid smell of tongneless mouths ! 1
screamed with horror and ogonony, but my
-creams were only echoed by a wild veil anil'
unearthly chattering—l stood, in truth, a liv
ing one aunyig the dead of ages—flesh a
tnoug bones, vanity "amidst, nothingness. I
would have fled, but horrid skeletons besot’
me on every side, and I stood passive until
my flesh became animated, and thousands of
living things crawled over my body, consu
ming it mite alter inito, until nought was left
but an anatomy of bone ; my brains then he
g.tn to wither, my eyes melt in their sockets,
tny teeth rattle in the fleshless jaws—l stood
alone the last fragment of mortality. ..Sud
denly the earth gave way with a loud crash
ami—l awoke ! but not in the blessed lie-ht
—my weight broke through the lid of the ;
coffin on which I had stretched myself, and
hot/ many joints and ribs of its senseless in
mate I dis.ocatcd, I cannot suv, tor I dul not
take the time to count them. My first thought,'
after wiping the cold sweaf from my brow,
was to make lor the entrance of tho sepulchre
but I was enveloped in total darkness and
and knew not which way to turn, f could
hoar the steady dropping of the water front
the damp ceiling of the vault, and now and
then the cheerful croak of a solitary toad—at
periods a low, rumbling noise like distant
thunder was heard above, and then the sol
emn. peal of the convent clock as it tolled out
twcltc —‘the dread hour when restless spirits
are said to stalk-forth, when the clntrch-vard
yawns, and its ghostly tenants wander over
tlio earth. 1 turued to the right, amt my hand
i'< 11 upon the damp ltd of a rotten collin—the’
lilootl gushed back to my heart; it was real
itv—it was no dream—and l was entombed
alive ! Oil! the agony of that moment,• home
tricuds, and the most trilling enjoyments of
lite were now a thousand times more dcaT to
me t.tan they ever had been. j'o starve to
death—to commune thus with the d< ad and

j bones— horrors upon horrors ? < old
-Iroj>s ran down my checks, and I tr-m

iears. J’bns the whole night passed, thought

THE TOWER OT ELOQUENCE.
lie that reposes his confidence in the lofty
to\v< r, or the jmiiderous gate, and thinks that
they will afford sufficient protection against
outward a&*ault-or internal excitement, will
he most assuredly disappointed. An indivi
dual standing alone, unprotected, but by the
overshadowing heavens, without hope of safe
ty or triumph, but in his own muscle*—and
destitute of counsel, except from the man
dates of an aspiring soul, or the directions of
an heroic spirit, can do more for himself and
for those who depend upon his single arm,
than thousands trembling behind an impene
trable rampart., or speeding their arrows from
the high battlement.
The strength of such an individual is seat
jed in the heart—the fountam of human gym
i pathv. M hence issue the stern decrees of judg
ment as well as the playful imaginings of pas
sion. Mo ved by its ardour, his frame is in
vigorated—under its inl’ueinfe he laughs at
fear, and scorn fatigue—be bravely courts
I the rude shock of battle—he listens to the
loud clash af arms without a shudder; and
and when grim Danger presents her haggard
form, he meets her fearlessly—lie rushes on
with a zeaLnot to be crushed by the vicissi
tudes of fortune—he fights till the death-blow
| —he fights even while groaning amid the ag
onies of convulsed nature,
i When the vital spark is extinguished, then
I sinks to ashes the fire of the warrior’s courage,
! hut till that moment lie .is a hero, weak in bo
dy, but mighty in soul as ever. Such is the
ardour (halt btrtnsin the bosom of the patriot.
We soft in the true ’statesman, jeal<ips of hie
country’s honor, and regardful of the people’s
interest. It walks with him and gives an aw
ful sublimity to his counsel. When aroused
to its warmest blaze—when it rages with its
own peculiar energy, it is this thunders from
riic tongue of the orator —yes, this ardour be
comes a sound and bursts upon the startled
ear—infuses itself injo the united heart of a
melted, an admiring, a fascinated audience,
and carries with an irresistable impetuosity
every feeling or passion of the heart onward
with its< If.
This is eloquence—this is its power, which
lias in all ages been a proud and fearless con
queror, which has melted down hearts of mar
bic—made tyrants tremble on their thrones.
With but a single exertion—with but one loud!
peal it can
“Stir a fever in the blood of age,
And make infant's sinews strong as stc-e!.’’
It is a powerful engine, which, though often'
the cause of misery, has advanced to an ox-1
alted point cf tho situation of man. In polit-1
ical affairs it is an indispensable attendant, j
for if the man of wisdom do;,-- not possess the !
happy faculty of appealing to the passions as
well as to the judgment—to the heart as well
as to the mind—he is comparatively insigni
ficant. He is like a candle hid under a bush
el, whose light is not seen. The cultivation
of eloquence therefore is of the highest im
portance t.) him who would shine conspicu
ously in the legislative hal;—to him who
would see his name high on the list of Fame.
To tho advocate, of what advantage is it—
he may plead the widow’s cause successfully
—lie may wipe the tears from the eye of the
orphan, and maker oppifg, lien’s self Uu.all of
her ow n turpitude. To all men of all condi
tion, the power ot eloquence is above every
thing desirable—let it then be cultivated,anil
let our own lands continue to be as it lias
been, a land famed lor her eloquent states
man: Let not the names of Webster or Clay
or Henry or Hamilton, be the la.-d of Ameri
can orators, but let our youth follow on in
their track, and fill those high places, which
they now fill on the bright picture of their
country ’s renown. D. 11. T.
Reputation.*—• Reputation is every thin?? in
the world. It is the paper currency of life ;
of much more personal convenience than
weighty and cumbersome reality. The meth
ods and short cuts to this attainment are va
rious :—Would you be thought patriotic :
talk loud and often of your sensitive regard
(or the interests of your country ;—pledge
your “life, fortune and sacred honor —you
will probably never be called upon to make
tile sacrifices Would you be thought a hard stu
dent, and learned—be seen walking 'through
tlie streets,'tltten, w ith a great hook in hand,
it is far easier to carry knowledge under the
arm than in the head ; and watking is a more
healthy than sedf’rftury study. Is the repu
tation of piety your wish ! look more to the
hearts of others t han your own ;—make long
and loud .prayers with your windows, open.-
Would you be a business axßi—fhriviug—
rich? Bustle; talk of the pressure of busi
ness,—of your gains, stocks, dividends, Ac.
You will get credit in this way, and most of
the advantages of wealth, without its weights
and all the anxiety of mind it brings along
with it. Naina Observer.
The Ocean. —The depth of the Ocean is a
point, says M. Brun, which has puzzled a
like philosophers and practical mui, and is,
after all, left in a wide Held of conjecture.—
The roost probable guide is analogy ; and the
wisest men, judging by bis criterion, have
presumed that the sea may be measured by
the hight of mountains, the highest of which
are 20,000 and 30,000 feet. The greatest
depth that has been tned to be measured, is
that found in the Northern oceans by Lord
Mulgravo ; lie heaved a very heavy sounding
lead, and gave out along w ith it a cable rope
of the length of 10S0 feet without finding the
bottom.
A North Carolina paper say s—“ Since the
j lire at Raleigh, efforts have been made, and
with success, tcTcxhume the fragments of the
statue of Washington, which were broken oil
by the falling timbers and buried beneath the
ruins. We are pleased to add, that the head
■ i it nn covered, having n reived but slight
injury ; also one arm ami one leg are nearly
perfect. The remaining portion of the Sta
exiiibits, however, such a tendency to crum

WORTIIIATO.N,
BVv‘l wi*h the consent of the Reformed
Medical Society, of the United States, the
new- Reformed Medical Institution has been Loca
ted in Worthington, an interesting and flourislfinc
toii on the Whetstone River, 8 ntiles nortii cf
Columbus, on the Northern Turnpike. This site
has been chosen because it presents the grette::
advantages to facilitate the researches of the lh,.
tanieal studdiit ; the country around it abounding
with every variety of medical plants ; and thesi>
uation.being the most -healthy and delightful u
the Western country—and because the occupauc/
of the lasge College Edifice, together with ground
ofvVery variety of soil for an extensive bctaiieul
garden, has been presented to us by the beard cf
trustees of Worthington College.
i here will be attached to the institution, a Di. •
ponsary for analyzing and preparing Vegetable
Medicines', and an Infirmary, where persons from
the neighborhood, rfs a distance laboring unde
levers, consumptions, flispepsa, liver complaints,
gravel, ulcers, fistulas, cancers 4 dec. Ac. will t„[
successfully treated, without bleeding, mercury > r
th e-knife, and from which the student will acquire
a correct knowledge of the nature, operational;!
superior efficacy ol vegetable agents in romovix -
disease. ‘
The necessity for an Institution of this kind
j the west, to be under the direction of the cwui
tent Professors is strikingly evident. Il is an insti
tution that is designed to concentratc,and dissent*
iuate all the knowledge of Drs. of Medicine and
empyrics, sages; L savages that will demonstrate
to the student and the sick that vogatables alouo ,
afford the ’oitiy rational, safe and eilectual tncan.i
of removing diseases 'without impairing the coi,-
stitfifSon, or endangering life or limb.' Thepn
sent system of practice which treats diseases if
every form with metalic minerals, the lancet; < r
knife is dangerous as the lamentable facts
which every day p-Ti'Sents too fully illustrate. N'< r
is this Efivth more clearly exhibited than the Q-t
that vegetable substances alone, arc void of (hu -
ger, and powerfully efficient when administers;
a reference to the success of our New York In
firmary and the success of ignorant hotank’.-l
physicians, proves this fact.
The College and Infirmary will he opened th
first week in December, where students from all
parts may enter and complete their Medical Ed
ucations* and where persons laboring'under ever/
species ot disease shall receive prompt and faith
ful attention.
The course of study to be pursued and which
will be taught aaccortling to the OLD and K! -

acqure a correct knowledge of present practice
ot Physicians—a knowledge of the use and abuse
ot minerals, the Lancet. Obstrrieal Forceps an)
the knife, and a knowledge of the new and iw
proved system that supercedes their use, with
tenfold more safety aud success. There will he
