THE COMPOSITION OF A HISS.
Cupid, if storying legends tell aright,
Once framed a rich elixer of delight.
A chalice o’er love-kindled flames he fix'd.
And in it nectar and ambrosia mix’d :
With these the magic dews, which erening
brings,
II rush’d from tbeldalian star by fairy wings :
Each tender pledge of sacred faith he join’d,
Each gentlerpleasure of tho unspotted mind —
Day-dreams, whose tints with sportive bright
ness glow,
And Hope, the blameless parasite of woe.
The eyeless Chemist heard the process rise,
The steamy' chalice bubbled up in sighs ;
Sweet sounds transpir’d, as when th’ enamour’d
dove
Pours the soft murm’ring of responsive love.
Tho finish’d work might Envy vainly blame,
And “ Kisses” was the precious compound's
name.
With half the god his Cyprian mother blest,
md breath’d on Sara’s lovelier lips tho rest.
'Phe following is by Salis, a German LyrioPoet.
SPRING.
Fresher green the lawns display;
Verna! odours scent the dale;
Gayly trills the linnet’s lay,
{Sweetly wails the nighingalc.
£<?e the grove its buds disclose;
Love awakes the soft recess ;
Row each shepherd bolder grows*
Kinder every shepherdess 1
Row the bosom rears it* head,
Spring recals its blooming pride,
Spring enamels all the mead,
Decks the hillock’s eloping side*
Gee the lily of the vale.
Peeping through it3 leafy shade.
Half its modest charms conceal:
Garland meet for spotless maid.
Row the woodbine's twining shade,
{Sweetly forms the rustic bower;
Foil retreat of youth and maid,
True to love’s appointed hour!
Fonder grows the Zephyr’s kiss.
Pleasure wakes at every call;
Vernal lie, and thrilling bliss,
Feels the heart, that feels at all!

A LEGJENJD OF THE CAMKROMANS”
On a summer morning, in th< year of grace
i 676, a man was seen making his way to
•varris a lonely cottage in the vale of Dalvccu,
ot the head of Nithsdale ; a glimpse, indeed,
r>f the traveller could only now and then be
•btained, for beseemed desirous of conceal
ment, and his presence was chiefly indicated
by the rustling of the bushes of hazel and
holly, among w hich he forced his way, or by
►he startled birds—for tho sun had not wholly
risen, and the lark had but newly ascended
with his song. He passed a small stream,
•mdcoining to the door of tho cottage, by the
idoof which a cheese-press was standing drip
ping with new whey,cried ‘Marion, Marion!’
—the door was quickly opened, and a young
■ oman threw herself into his bosom saying,
Elias t bless thee, bless thee !’ ‘And bless
• t.cetoo,’ said he, returning his wie’e cm
-race ; ‘but this, my love, is no time for vain
and worldly affections. Put on thy mantle,
end take thy little one in thy arms, and fol
low me. I have escaped almost alone, from a
bloody field; and here we may no more
libido.’ She we.it into the cottage, and re
turned with a child, of six months old or so,
• a her arms, milk in a flask, w ith some bread
and honey, and said,‘Elias, I am ready; hut
let us unloose the cow and turn her to the
pasture, and open the door of the fold, so that
the sheep may go to the hills, —for they arc
iod’s creatures, and must not perish.’ And
he said, ‘surely; for so it is written.’ And he
did as slip spake, and then left tho cottage,
tigeompanied by his wife and child.
Now Elias and his wife were both young;
und this was the second year of their mar
riage. They turned their faces towards that
u ild and wooded linn, which unites itself
.iththe deep glen of Dalveen ; and as they
went, Marion looked back on her home and
. uid, ‘lt is a sweet place, and loth am 1 to
leave the hearth where we first kindled our
bridal fire, and seek refuge in the glens and
.-averns of the earth. Elias, it is better: but
>h ! eternal life is sweet ; uud she clasped her
hild closer to her breast, and lulled it with a
• tile song of her own making. All the
vhile Elias spoke not; he wound his grey
; iaid closer round his body,leaving both arms
free—examined the edge and point of a sword
which hung at his side, and which seemed
to have been lately used—threw a long Span
ish musket over his left arm, trimmed the
slint and looked into tho lock, loaded it—Kind
then, having felt the handle of a small dagger
which he carried beside his sword, resumed
bis former rapidity of pace. They soon en
tered the ravmc—sought their way along a
r ath fit only for a w ild cat, and, having reach
ed ajsort of cavern or recess in the rock*,
they paused and sat down on a rude bench
f spine, with a table of the same kind bc
t. rethem, upon which Elias turned to his
wife, took the child into his bosom, and said
Ses how green the trees are—how pure that
■falling water —how rich the wild flowers bios
o:. : ' how bright Mie sunshine is, scek
;:g to l;nd cs cut amid the thick boughs
which encircle our den of refuge. Look ye
down tho vale of Nith, and look ye up to
heaven. He who rules above, spread out
this beauteous land beneath our feet, and
hung yon marvellous canopy over our heads;
and gwve unto ns the Jow ls of the air, the fish
o.f the stream, and tho. beasts of the field, for
cur inheritance. But trie wickedness of man
mars the bounty of God. We are deprived
of our patrimony ; we are hunted to the desert
place, and are forbidden to sing the praises
•if Him w ho dwells oc high, under penalty of
iimb and life. But be not, therefore, cast
town, iny love, nor disquieted : when the
Joors ol the carta arc closed, those of heaven
will be opened ; let us retire farther into this
Vi Id and seldom trodden glen, and then lift
jip our voices, freely and without fear, to
uod, —for assuredly he is wroth with tis be
uau*c of out-fears Last night I hpard his
• .> w, saying, ‘My saints are ft arful, and my
people deny me ; and l shall give uicm, for
u Urn , to the power of the strong and the
cruel, that men may know 1 am wroth with
the faint of heart and the feeble of spirit.”—
And Marion answered and said, ‘So be it,
Elias.' And th y arose and continued their
journey along the rude path which the acci
dental foot of man and beast had fashioned
in that wild ravine. Sometimes the way
scaled a steep and fearful crag—sometimes
it crept among the fantastic roots ol'the oak
and the beech—and sometimes it went to the
t very margin of the linn, where the reck, deft
as it were in two, disclosed tho foaming
stream at the perpendicular depth of fifty,
and sometimes an hundred fathoms. Elias of
ten had to use all his skill and strength in
conducting his wife and child along this dan
gerous way.
At length, however, they reached übat
was to be their abiding place. This was a
rude but not ungraceful sort of temple, form
ed by the earlier labors of the brook, out of
the massy free-stone rock, —in the rude pillars
of which, and ruder capitals, an ingenious
artist might almost perceive tho dawn of the
Tuscan order. The entrance was wide, aud
overhung with honey-suckle ; and the interior
w as recessed and presented what, to anchor
ites, might appear both seats and couches.—
‘Now, rny love,’ said Elias, ‘this is the p!|ce
where our Scottish warriors of old found refuge
when they warred for the independence of
their country ; and in this place shall 1, one
of their descendants, fight the good fight with
out fainting. Might and cruelty must pre
vail in this land for a time ; the noblest and
great ones of the earth have united against us,
and we are driven, for a season, to the heaths
and the desert places, to be wounded with
the shafts of the hunter.’ ‘Alas! my Elias,’
said his wile, looking earnestly in his face,
‘and is our dream of wedded happiness come
to this ? Our hearth is clean—our cottage
fire burns bright—the fruits of tho season are
in our fields—our flocks are not fewr on the
hills—this little one hath come smiling into
thy bosom—and wo have much, much in this
little world of ours tooling to and to love.’—
‘Peace woman,’said Elias, sternly ; ‘think ye
that l have shut my eyes on that domestic
picture with which ye seek to lure me ? Am
I blind as the slow-worm and the mole ? No;
those blessings which ye raise in array a
gjinst my faith, I prize not lightly. It is
not for the shape of the garment I wear, nor
tho fashion of the dish w hence I drink, that i
thus peril thee and thy babe. It is for free
dom to these limbs—it is for freedom to my
soul—it is for freedom to worship God ac
cording to conscience, that I am thus hunted
from rock to rock,and from cleugh to cavern.
Woe to him, on the great day,who hath pre
ferred a warm home and a sweet wife, to the
cause of liberty and tho word of God. And
woe to him who seeks us for harm in this
place ot refuge ; this hollow tube, won in a
sore sea-fight w ith the Spanish Armada, has
never, in my hand, missed its aim ; and this
sword was never by in j strength thrust in
vain ; so be not alarmed, my love, but lull
thy babe whilst I keep watch, for the sons of
Belial are ever busy against the broken rem
nant ot God’s church.' So saying, Elias
stood within the porch of the place, and lent
an ear to every sound, and an eye to every
bird that flitted from bough to bough.
Now it happened on that vety morning,
that Captain Greer, with some fifty mounted
troops, was on his way from Edinburg to
Dumfries, to avenge the defeat and capture
of General Turner, (called the Tippling
Apostle of Prelacy, inasmuch as he was a
hard drinker,) and had reached tiie entrance
of the upper gorge of the deep defile w here
Elias and his wife sought refuge, when he
was met by a messenger in the disguise of a
shepherd, who said that a sore buttle had
been fought, in which victory had blessed
the arms of King Charles; but that Elias
\V ilson, one of tho chief leaders, had escaped
from the field, and was believed to be con
cealed in one of the wild glens in the neigh
borhood of his cottage, ‘llis house,’ said the
messenger, ‘is but newly forsaken ; the fire
is scarcely extinguished on the hearth; 1
have traced his footsteps through the dew in
to the lower gorge of this wild ravine ; where
I dare not to seek him single handed, for he
is eminently skilful with the sword, and w hen
he has his musket in his hand, an eagle cau
not escape him.’—‘What, man!’ exclaimed
Greer, ‘and is Elias Wilson—he who can
preach as well as light, arid fight better than
the fighting laird of Bonshaw, lurking in
Entcrken glen ? then, if we meet, and I fail
to feed the ravens—there’s a pair of them
looking at me now—with his Cameraman
carcass, may the fiend make my ribs into a
gridiron for my soul.’ ‘ Whist, Captain—
Godsake whist,’ said n veteran trooper, ‘no
that ye frighten me with such wild words ;
but (leil have me, if I like the presence of
these hooded crows; they look at us, as they
iook at the sheep that’s doomed to die on the
mountains. An l were you, 1 would e’en
take their counsel, and keep out of the dark
glen—it lies nae in our line of inarch—and
—.’ The Captain silenced him with a motion
of his hand, and said, ‘Corporal Borthwiek,
take ten men, station them privily in the ru
ins of the old hunting tower of DalVccn—
there they stand gray and lonely. They com
mand from the upper windows, th* entrance
of the Friar’s Cell, whore this fighting Came
raman has no doubt taken refuge—it is a
I long shot—but you are skilful. The rest of
the men w ill enter the ravine at both ends—
the moment you have a full view of him at
the entrance, take a deliberate aim—if lie
falls, acre is mv purse, and you are a serjeant.’
Borthwiek stationed himself and his me* ac
cording to orders, w hilst his captain went into
the ravine on the desperate service of dislodg
ing a practiced w arrior, whose place of refuge
no one could approach without peril of his
life.
‘ i think, icy lads,’ said tho corporal, ‘our
captain has shaped out a garment for himself
he will find,some difficulty in sewing.’—‘And
I think,’ said a soldier ‘that our corporal
speaks more like a tailor titan a warrior—
God! 1 dinna like to be packed up in this
ould tower, when there’s game in hand ; but
nae doubt the captain thought wc were ail
tailors, and that our courage was but small.’
—‘ 1 w ill show my face, Moran, where yours
dare cot be seen,’ exclaimed the corneal*
ttMurasr
'standing foil in the window, and holding the
musket, with which al! troopers in those days
were armed, right towards the Friar’s Cell.
The wife of Elias wearied in body, and over
come in mind with the miseries of that sad
morning, had fallen into a slumber : but even
in slumber there was no repose ; she dream*'
eil that her house was beset with inclines,
and that carabines were levelled to destroy
her husband : and shrieked out, ‘O, Elias!’
On looking up, she saw him peering warily
through the screen of honey suckle which
covered the entrance of the cavern, and cock
ing his musket as he looked; he motioned
her back—presented his piece and fired ; the
the ravine echoed loudly to the report; and
corporal Borthwiek dropped forward from the
window, and his helmet was seen glittering
for a moment, as he dropped dead into the
fearful chasm below. ‘We are beset all
around, my love, said Elias, reloading his mus
ket ; ‘ I have slain one son of Belial, in the
act of presenting his engine of death at thee
and me : but fear not : God will work out
our deliverance-—so compose thyself, and
keep out of the way of harm. They know
not the Friar’s Cell; it commands both the
upper and lower approaches—but peace,
peace.’ lie presented his musket as lie
spoke; the serjeant that conducted the party
wlo were to penetrate from the lower gorge,
received the ball in his brain as he gained
the summit of the rock, and fell over the
ciiff ; it fared no better with a second adven
turer ; and the rest, daunted, and believing
that the fugitives were in force, desisted, and
stood undecided. *
* Now, mv lads,’exclaimed Captain Greer,
‘ the game has begun—the old tower is sen
ding shot after shot; and there will be nought
left for us to do but to march to the Friar’s
Cell, and report on the dead body.’ So say
ing, he descended into the ravine, and wound
Iris difficult anil adventurous way warily with
foot and hand. 4 Captain,’ said the veteran
who formerly addressed him, laying his hand
on his arm, and pointing upwards, * there’s
our black forerunners—that man never had
luck that they took a fancy to yet; but I’ll
follow yc to the red hot doors of perdition
afore I’ll flinch ; only I have nae faith in
things, if these blood crows don’t believe
they are to feast atween your breast banes
and mine.’ It is said that :hc Captain chang
ed color, as he looked on those dark compan
ions of his inarch; stiil he went forward;
one of them uttered a croak, and looked into
the chasm below, where the stream was in
visible for mist and spray, and seemed as if
it saw something. At that moment,Greer took
off his hclment, waved the plume to scare
them away, and at the same time moved his
head to and fro, and continued to advance.—
At that moment a hall from tho Friar’s Cell
grazed his temple,and struck the veteran who
followed him on the head ; the latter, in the
death pang, clutched hard the arm on which
his palm was laid,and dropping heavily hack,
the living and the dead were precipitated
some thirty fathoms. The rest of the troo
pers were struck with dismay—the leaders
were slain—no one volunteered to advance ;
and as they stood irresolute, they heard a
shot ring again from the same fatal place, and
saw the body of one of their comrades sink
down the window-sill of the tower, while his
musket dropping from his relaxed hands,
went rattling down the rocky ravine. All
the wliigs are come from hell,’ said one, to de
fend this cursed glen—let us march out;
place sentinels at the passes ; despatch two
of our fleetest horses to Dumfries, for an of
ficer to command us, and fot foot soldiers ac
customed to such warfare—for my part, I can
only fight on horse aek.’ This sentiment,
a3 it promised security, was embraced by all
—they retired to the extremities of the ra
vii e —placed sentinels; sent two troopers to
Dumfries for assistance ; and when the next
day dawned, penetrated unmolested to the
Friar’s Cell ; but Elias Wilson and his wife
and child wore gone ; they escaped at night
fall, by scaling the almost perpendicular side
of the ravine ; sought shelter in a distant
glen—and, foiling all their enemies, lived till
times of peace came, when they returned to
their cottage, lived and died in good old age.
Yet, once a year, as the day of their deliver
ance returned, they went with their children
and servants to the PViar’s Cell, and sung a
psalm, and prayed a prayer—and the same
was till lately done by their descendants. —A

Original Letter from Gen. Washington. —
W hen our Capitol was destroyed last June,
it will be recollected that the papers of the
various Offices of the Government w’ere
thrown into general confusion, to remedy
which disorder, however, provision was made
by the last Legislature. On looking over
this mass of documents, a few days since, the
subjoined letter was discovered, being in the
proper hand writing of Gen. Washington,
and addressed “to the Governor and Coun
cil of the State of North-Carolina,” in reply,
as it would seem, to one from them approv
ing, in the name of the State, of the recent
ly formed General Government, and of his
Administration of it. Like every thing else,
proceeding from the pen of that incompara
ble man, it is distinguished for its chasteness
of style and elevated patriotism. The spirit
of devotion to the Union which it breathes,
and the high estimate entertained of its val
ue by the writer, renders its publication at
this moment peculiarly interesting:—
To the Governor and Council of N. Carolina.
Gknti.kmen :—I entreat you to be per
suaded that nothing could have been more
more agreeable to me, than the proofs con
| tained in your affectionate address of the
i friendly sentiments entertained by you for
| my person, and for the Government w hich 1
have been appointed by my Countrymen to
administer. And I reciprocate, with heart
felt satisfaction, your congratulations on the
completion of the Union of all the States :
an event, in my judgment, pregnant with
more salutary consequences than can easily
be expressed or conceived.
It will ever he my first wish and most
strenuous endeavor, to justify, so far as may
be in ray power, the confidence which my j
fellow-citizens have thought propel to repose
in me, by exerting every power vested in the
President of tbe United States, by the Con
stitution, for the happiness and prosperity ot
our Country ; and by giving efficacy to such
a system as will ensure the general welfare
and conciliate the public mind.
I desire, gentlemen, to make acceptable to
you my acknowledgements for the kind con
cern you take in the restoration of my health
and preservation of my life; and in the ret
ribution I may receive after the conclusion of
this mortal existence. May you, and the
State in whose government you have the prin
cipal agency, he also the peculiar care of
Divine Providence.

LIFE OF A MERCHANT.
The life of a merchant is, necessarily, a
life of peril. He can scarcely move without
danger. He is beset on all sides with disap
pointments, with fluctuations in the current
of business, which sometimes leave him
stranded on an unknown bar, and sometimes
sweep him helpless into the ocean. These
vicissitudes depend on causes which no man
can control; and are often so sudden, that no
calculation could anticipate, or skill avoid
them; To risk much, to be exposed to haz
ards, belongs to the vocation of a merchant;
his usefulness and success depend, in many
cases, on his enterprize He must have
courage to explore new regions of commerce,
aud encounter the difficulties of untried ex
periments. To be unfortunate in such pur
suits is no more disgraceful to an upright tra
der, than to fall in the field of batttle is dis
honorable to the soldier, or to defeat a gener
al that has done all that valor and skill could
achieve to obtain the victory. Very different
is the case of one who with but little of his
own to jeopard, commences business on a
system of commercial gambling, and makes
his desperate throws at the risk of others;
wdio embarks in rash and senseless adven
tures, condemned by common sense as by
honesty; and w hen they end in a total wreck,
looks his abused creditors coolly in the face,
and offers them a list of had debts, and an in
ventory of worthless goods, provided they
will release and discharge him forever from
their claims. * * * Our traders must
not consider themselves, or allow others to
consider them, as petty traffickers for petty
gains bv all advantages: but as merchants, m
the fullest and most honorable sense of the
term; as the men by w hom the great opera
tions ol the world arc sustained, by whom ttie
intercourse of the human family, however
scattered and remote, is kept up; as the in
struments of civilization and intellectual im
provement; as the agents to distribute the
comforts and luxuries of life over the whole
surface of the globe. By them the whole
race of man, of every variety of complexion
and character, and wheresoever they may in
habit are brought together, and taught to
know each other and to aid each other.
They are the peacemakers of the world, ior
they show it to be the interest and happiness
of all to remain at peace, and they demon
strate tiiat it is easier to obtain the good
things wc rnay desire by commerce than by
conquest; by exchange than by arms. They
soften national asperities and remove unio.-?
prejudices. Such high functions cannot be
performed by ordinary men; and those who
do perform them faithfully are the noblest
benefactors of mankind.— lngcntol'

“ We saw' a number of labourers sitting by
the road side on heaps of stone, which they
were breaking. My companion said ‘they
are conquerors; their w hole business is to
break in pieces and destroy, and they rise
on the rums they make.’ Meanwhile, our
driver blew his horn to announce the post,
for which, as with us, every thing must make
way; the tone however, came forth with so
much difficulty, and sounded so piteously,
that we all laughed. A pretty boy, of about
twelve, looking like a personification of hap
piness and joy, though half naked, was sit
ting on a heap of stones, hammering. He
shouted out with mischievous glee, and called
out to the angry driver, “Oh, ho, friend, your
trumpet has caught cold; it is as hoarse as
my old grandmother ; cure it directly with a
glass of potheen; or it will die of a consump
tion before you reach Galway !” A loud
laugh from all the labourers followed as
chorus. ‘There,’ said my companion, ‘there
you see our people,—starvation and laughter
—that is their lot. Would you believe that,
from the number ol labourers, and the scarci
ty of labour, not one of these men earn enough
to buy sufficient food ; and yet every one of
them will spare something to his priest, and
if you go ini j his cabin, will give you half of
his lastpotatoe, and a joke into the bargain*’

FASHION.
Whiskers to curl with tender strokes of art;
And flowing ringlets on the forehead part,
For this, JOHN BUTLER treads the public
stage.
The modern Hoggins of a Barbcr-ovts age.
The immortal Huggins, the Prince of Barbers
and Coiffeurs, was distinguished for the keenness
of his Razor, the fragrance of his Soap, and the
fanciful and graceful manner in which he was
wont to prepare his snowy suds. Charmed with
his character, I have made him mv model, and I
flatter myself that I can approacli a gentleman’s
nose, whiskers and curls, with that delicacy of
touch and elegance of movement which so strik
ingly characterised the great Father of Shavers.
The'following are the terms upon which I ope
rate :
Tweaks of the nose, or 1 shave, 12 1-2
Variety of tweakings, or a month’s
shaving, including pulling hair, $ 1 50
Pulling ditto, or torturing the head,
vulgarly called cutting hair, for
the first operation, if the hair is
not kinky, .... 25
These rates, considering the anticipated retire
ment from business, of the great Shaving Shop,
the Bank of the U. States, must be viewed as 1
moderate in the extreme. ‘
N. IL Editors and Printers are respectfvilly
informed, that their noses will be hammed ttncl
their hair pulled “ free gratis for irbtniug."
In addition to his hnrbcr. Tous establishment,
the subscriber respegtf-.i'ly informs the commu
nity that he has up a

Cigars, railing pure clouds oi white, and filling
