ißms from flir Tiiii haunted p \Laue. BY EDGAR A. POE. In the greenest of our valleys, By good angels tenanted, O.iee a fair and stately palace— Rad.ant palace—reared its head. In t ie monarch Thought s dominion— It . tood there ! Ne'er seraph spread a pinion Over fabric half so fair ! Banners yellow, glorious, golden, O. its roof did float and flow, (Thi s—all this—was m the oiden Time long ago,) And every gentle air that dallied, In that sweet day, Along the ramparts plumed and pallid, A winged odour went away. Wande.ers in that happy valley, Tn ojgh two lum nous windows, saw Spirits moving musically, To a lute's well-t med law, Round about a throne whe.e, sitting (Po phy.oge..e!) In tate liu glory well befitting, The ruler of the tealin wa^seen. And all with pearl and ruby glowing Was die fair palace door, Thr ugli winch came flowing, flowing, flowing, And sparklmg evermore; A troop of EcOoe.-, whose sweet duty W as but to sing, In vo.ce -of surpassing beauty, The wit and wisdom of tueir king. But evil things, in robe- 1 of sorrow, A'sa.lc-d tae monarch's high estate. (Ah, let us mourn!—for never morrow Snail dawn upon him de elate!) And lound about his home the giory That blushed and bloomed, Is but a dan .einembe.ed story Os the old tone entombed. And Caveliers, now, within that valley, Through t ie led-l.tten w.ndows see Vast fo.m , diat move fantastically To a discordant melody, Whae, like a gha:tly rap.d rr'er, Through the pale door A hideuui throng ru h out forever, And laugh —but -m.le no mo.e. From tlie .London Literary Gazette. TO HER iN HEAVEN. I never mote thy hand may clasp, Or .earl tliy love-lit eye ; The soul dial late I seemed to grasp Is now—beyoud tiie sky. I never more may thirsting drink The music of thy tongue ; Those tender tones for ever gone— For ever —and so young! The sun can shine no more for me, Faith’s teauty, too, is dead ; Since to that holy spirit-land, Thy blessed soul hath fled. I have, now, nothing left to love, Time holds no love for me ; For all my full heait had to give, I gave—my soul—to thee. Now absolutely desolate! To Lve, is full of fears. My anguish is too de ert-like To find a well of tears. I feel thou hast a better home, A home where all is fair ; Nor w.sh that thou should’t come to me, But long to join thee there ! A home where doubt, and woe, and fear, Al.ke for ever Where all is un ‘elinable And never-ending peace. P. for me where thou art, sweet love ; Pray for me at his feet; And so thou p ay as I would wish, We, deaieot, soon shall mett. for tljr PERSPIRATION. Perspiration is an excrementitious exhalation from the body, to free the b.ood from impurity. About five pounds of perspired matter are said to pass through the skin of a full-grown man every twenty four hours. There aie two kinds of perspiration, sensible and insensible. The sensible is the visi ble perspiration ; the insensible parses off in the form of vapour, and of it we are not so conscious. When we see persons with large globules of moisture on their faces, we may be sure these have all passed through the minute pores of the skin, and collected on the suil'ace —perspiration has been going on quicker than exhalation. It is dan gerous for persons in such a state to ex pose their bodies suddenly to a cold damp atmosphere, as the pores sud denly close,and perspiration is obstruct ed. In a cold atmosphere, when per spiration is checked, the vital heat is re tained ; and, when perspiration is pro fuse, the heat of the body is discharged) hence the various quantities man per spiresin warm and cold countries equal ise the animal heat, and he is thus ena b ed to withstand the exigencies of dif ferent climates. Ihe glands ot the skin also exude a kind ot an oily substance, which gives pliancy and softness to the skin. This oily secretion is very copious in the negro, making his skin remarkable for sos ness, and preventing the cuticle fi om cracking by the powerful influence of the still. 1 his is the reason why the tears of the negro appear like crystals rolling over a peice of fine, soft sable. The skin so intimately sympathises with the lungs, bowels, &c., that when perspiration is obstructed, these or gans soon become deranged, and disease follows. In warm climates copious and free perspiration is necessary to health. In tropical countries, when perspiration stops, no lime should be lost in making a will. Those who perspire with dif ficulty are not constitutionally adapted to live in a tropical climate; those who perspire freely are best adapted to live in warm latitudes. In cold cli mates he who perspires the least is ’he most comfortable—in warm cli mates, the reverse. As the skin exercises -uch an impor tant influence on the physical condition of every person, it is necessary to pre serve it from injury, in order to pre serve health. The skin should be kept perfectly clean, by being frequently washed and rubbed, to remove all ex ternal obstruction to perspiration.— Children should be wholly wa-hed every day, especially before being put to bed, and then well rubbed with a dry cloth ; adults also should be wa-hed as otien. It is the universal custom to Aa-h in the morning, and not before going to lied—the latter period is de cidedly the Bet, although the former shotdd not be neglected. The reason ot this is, that, during the dav, the ex ercise consumes part of our system, which our food unsigned to supply nence the continually wearing away and e-proouctionof the diffoent parts of our bodies. Evening, or during sleep, ,sthe penod designed by the law of o r creation for the depositing of the new solid particles to supply the place ■tthe worn o. t particles. Let all the Difted matter, therefore, be washed away outside, to allow the new to form freely, ay, and to form in a more beau tiful manner, for, like the deposition of crystals, the ] articles of matter of the -kin assume a smooth or coarse appear ance, by the form of the extianeous particles on the outside. This is the reason why those who wash their teeth, face, and hands before going to bed, have generally good teeth and fresh smooth skins. THE SECREI’ OF*LONGEVITY. The means known, so far, of promot ing longevity, have usually concentrat ed in short, pithy sayings—as “Keep your head cool, and your feet warm”— - Work much, and eat little,” &c., just as if the whole science of human life could be summed up and brought out in a few’ words, while its great princi ples were kept out of sight. One of th best of these sayings is given by an Italian in his hundred and sixteenth year, who, being asked the reason of his living so long, replied, with that im provisation for which his country is re markable : When hungry, of the best I eat, And dry and warm I keep my feet; 1 screen my head from sun and rain, And let few cares perplex my bruin. The following is about the best theory of the matter : —Every man is born with a certain stock of vitality, which cannot be increased, but may be hus banded. With this stock he mav live fast or slow’—may live extensively or intensively —may draw hisiittleainount of life over a large space, or narrow it into a contract and one; but when this stock is exhausted he has no more. He who lives extensively, drinks pure watei*, avoids inflammatory diseases, exercises sufficiently but not laborious ly, indulges no exhausting passions, feeds on no exciting material, pursues no debilitating pleasures, avoids all la borious and protracted study, preserves an easy mind, and thus husbands his quantum of vitality—will live consid erably longer than he otherwise would do, because he. lives slow; while he, on the other hand, who lives intensively, who beverages himself on liquors and wines, exposes himself to inflammatory diseases or causes that produce them, labours beyond his strength, visits ex citing scenes and indulges exhausting passions, and lives on stimulating and highly-seasoned food, is always debili tated by his pleasures. llrniiittgs nt Hnnbnnt. The Queen and Prince Albert are announced to appear in Dublin in Au gust. It is generally conceded now-a-days that ‘tin’ makes the best kind of belle metal. “Fell from grace,” as the Irishman observed when he slipped otf a lard barrel. A shop-keeper once wrote to his sis ter —“Our aged father died yesterday of a large assortment of disorders.” “That, sir, is the Spirit of the Press,” said Mrs. Bigelow, as she handed a glass of cider to her neighbour, Mr. Brown. Rapid talkers are generally men of few ideas, just as a bottle with a little liquid empties itself taster than one that is full. What is the difference between a stubborn horse and a postage stamp] You lick one with a stick, and stick the other with a lick! The free use of bowie knives in Ar kansas, among the legal profession, has been defined “sharp practice,” illus trating points of law in cross questions. An Irish counsel being questioned by a judge to know “ for whom he was concerned,” replied, “lam concerned , m v lord, for the plaintiff, but 1 am em ployed by the defendant.” An Irishman, seeing a vessel very heavy laden, and scarcely above the water’s edge, exclaimed, “ Upon my sold ! if the river was but a bit higher, the ship would go to the bottom.” Who that ever read can forget the expression of “poor Keats,” a few days before his death] It conveys a thought that, like Egypt’s darkness, may be felt —“1 feel the flowers growing over me!” A Monsieur de Levi, a Jew, in Eng land, h..d a painting representing Noah going into the ark, carrying a small trunk under his arm, on which was written— Family records of the house of Levi.” The ladv who doesn’t turn round in V the street to see what another lady wears, is on a visit to Nahant. The young gentleman who doesn’t stare in the face of all the ladies he meets, accompanies her. The man who commenced reading Webster’s Dictionary through in course, reports that he finds it very nice read ing, but “somehow the subjects are dreadfully mixed up.” He “dont more than get launched upon one, before off the writer starts upon another.” “A Great Admirer of Avon’s Bard” having asked the Boston Evening Ga zette where the following passage is to be found, “Is that a f that I C B 4 me?” is informed by our cotemporary that it may be found in Macbeth, whose murderous Jjgp 3 put a . to 1 Duncan. William Penn and Thomas Story once sheltered themselves from a show er of rain in a tobacco house, the owner of which said to them, “You enter without leave; do you know who I am] 1 am a justice of the peace.” To which Story replied, “My friend, here, makes such things as thee —he is Governor of Pennsylvania.” “Fifty-two Sons of Temperance,” ex claimed Mrs. Partington, “and twenty five Daughters, too! Why, bless me, how many children has Aunt Tempy got? And I hear some talk about Cadets of Temperance! What sort of debts are them? But no wonder she owes debts, when she has so many | children to maintain —how I pitty the j old critter.” And the old lady pulled | I her spectacles down over her nose and i resumed her knitting. SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. 51 doublet nf SUMMER NOVELTIES IN BALLOONS. There seems to be nothing stirring much, excepting balloons—and they are “up and stirring” in every direction, lhe householders who live in the neigh bourhoods of Vauxhall and the Cre morue Gardens, must have a nice time of it. What with the shouting, and the crowds, and the noise, and the fire works, they must detest the cry of Balloon ! Balloon !” almost as much as a lady abhors the announcement of “ Please, ma’am, the kitchen chimbley’s on fire.” These detestations, too, must be rather heightened by the probability of a parachute, with a live tiger in it, dropping in the back garden, or of a number of sky-rockets falling through the skylight, and astonishing the mas er and missus, as they are marching sol emnly with their candlesticks up to bed. The rage for experimental balloons must be stopped, or else all sorts of extravagances, animal and pyrotechni eal, will be committed in the name of science, and every little tea-garden, or suburban saloon that commands six square yards of open space, in front, or in rear, of the house, will be advertis ing a “ Wonderful Ascent,”either with or without fireworks, or else with a pony, or a horse, or a donkey, or some thing of that sort. The mania of imi tation exists as strongly between capi tals as between individuals, and, as it extends, is sure to increase in absurdi ty. Now, as Paris has lately witness ed the ascent of a Balloon with a pony, all “alive ad kicking,” London is cer tain to be favoured before long with the exhibition of some intrepid aero naut, who will richly deserve the laurels, as well as the appellation of Green, by ascending with a bull, or a giraffe, or, it may be, an elephant. Who knows, if this public appetite for Balloons grows more ravenous, that we may not be astonished some fine morning at breakfast, with the announcement in the papers of a piece of insanity, like the following: — UNPARALLELED ATTRACTION. WONDERFUL ASCENT THIS EVENING OF MR. GREEN In his celebrated Fulham Balloon, With his HIPPO POT AM US, (.Of the Zoological Oatulens.) Who has kindly lent his valuable services for this occasion only. At the altitude of 200 feet above the level of Chelsea, Mr. Green wdl descend fiom the car on the back of the Hippopotamus, and dis charge a BRILLIANT DISPLAY OF FIRE-WORKS. jV. B For seats on the baek of Hippopo tamus, apply at the Box Office of the Gardens. The only question is, if the above absurdity is attempted to be perpetrat ed, who is there to stop it? We are afraid that, from their very nature, Bal loons are out of the reach of the Law, and if a policeman were sent to “ take up” a balloon, the chances are that he would only be taken up himself. As there is a class of policemen expressly for the river, there may probably be instituted anew class of aerial police men purposely to navigate the “ silent highway” of the clouds. It will be rather awkward, though, to approach a balloon whilst it is discharging a bril liant display of fireworks, and difficult, as well as unpleasant, to take it into custody whilst co omitting the act. A WORD OR TWO ON WATER. We are a raid that wiiting upon water is as useless as writing upon sand, and indeed so much has been lately written on water, and so little impres sion made, that whoever goes into the subject, however deeply, lor the good of the public, can only expect to have cold water thrown upon him for his pains. A book has been lately pub lished by a Dr. Hassell, who favours the woild not only with his own views, but the views of an artist,on the water we drink ; and these views, painted lite rally in water colours, show us in all their disgusting variety of tint and form, the specimens of animal and vegetable matter we take in with every drop of aqueous fluid we imbibe. Since we have seen these alarming pictures, they have haunted us, and we have been troubled by a perpetual attack of Thames water on the brain. Every drop is a sort of menagerie in itself when subjected to the powers of the microscope, by whose aid we may per ceive the water devils, the testacea, the infusoria, the Crustacea,and other abom inations, flitting and floundering about to an extent the contemplation of which makes our blood run almost as thick as Thames water in our veins. In the book we have mentioned, there is a specimen of the water of every Compa ny supplying London, and there is not one of them but may be described as a species of Grand J unction of everything that is unwholesome and revolting to look upon. The old song of “ Drink to me only with thine eyes” could never have been adapted to the water drinkers of the present day, for to drink with the eyes shut is the only resource of the modern votary of our metropolitan river-gods. PHYSIC AND FARMING. “To Measter Punch.” Zur, —Lore massy ! I wonder what the world’s coinin’ to. Took up a peaper ’totherday, and read the ’count of the farm of Mr. Mechi—that ere chap as makes the razor-strops and ‘elegances.’ Talk of new-fangled ma noovres, I zays them as he uses beats everything. What dost think they be accordin’ to the peaper ? Why, “ ‘ Epsom and glauber salts were amongst the materials employed for improving the growth of the potatoes, and super-phosphate was described as an unfailing agency in crop ping turnips.’ “ Epsom and glauber zalts ! Why, we shall get next to geein taturs a black dose. Bymeby, I spose, instead of gooin to stable and varm-yard for marmorer, we shall he zeuding vor’t to Potticarries’ Hall. We shall be told to put paregoric to our clover, hikery pickery to our turmuts, and pillieosher to our wutts. “ The paper zays besides: “ ‘ Mr. Mechi possesses the rare art of teach ing w.thout giving himseif the airs of a peda gogue. He meets his unscientific neighbours wiih no pragmatic di play of superior and con temptuous t-k 11 ; but taking each man by the button, he, so to speak, shakes an acknowledge ment of slovenly fanning out of him, and jok ng ly and pleasantly point-i out the features and results of his own far better sy tern.’ “ If ever I comes across un, I can only zay, dwooan’t let un go tryun no sitch jokes wi me. I wun’t take it on un. Take me by the button, indeed, and think to shake slovenly varmun out o’me ! I should just like to zee un do’t.

IRISH MACHINE POETRY~” Jem Dodge married old Judy Rouse— Och she was a charming young bride ; With turf he then built a brick housj, And the front door was on the back side. The roof it was tiled with straw, The cellar was on the first floor, And the chimney, in order to draw, Was built just outside the door. A beggar was Teddy Malone, His sister was his only brother ; He had nothing at all of his own, Except what belonged to his mother. One night Teddy says to t ie squire, I’m so cold, give me something to eat, I’m so dry, let me set by the tire, And so hungry, I must warm my feet. “Och! honey,” one day says Pat Twigg, Fo he was a scandalous glutton, “To-morrow I’ll kill my fat pig, For I’m sure he'll make ilegant mutton.” i So then he goes into the hovel, And hangs the pig up by the heel, ! So nate cut his th.oat With a shovel, Saying this is the way to dress veal! One day Paddy Mulligan swore He had scalted his mouth to a blister, ’ While at dinner the morning before— “ And what was it wid !’ asked his sister. ! Says Paddy, “justthry for to guess!” “ Och, i can’t ” —“ then I’ll tell you my swate O, ’Twas nothing at al. 1 more or less, Than a raw roasted frozen potato.” tukkishTests. Khojah Efl’etidi was once invited to a banquet; he went in an old, dirty, and tattered garment, and of course found that no one paid him the slightest at tention. Quietly slipping away, he decked himself in a splendid pelisse and new trousers, and returned to the scene of festivity. He was received with honour at the door, saluted with a shower of compliments, and conducted to the highest seat. As the dishes were presented to him, he dipped in eacli the sleeve of his pelisse. “Khojah Etfendi!” exclaimed the astonished guests, “what are you doing?” lie replied, “Since all the respect shown me is owing to my garments, it is but rair that they should participate in the feast.” A man once came to the Khojah, saying, “ Etlendi, 1 have need of an ass to-day ; have the kindness to lend me yours.” “ 1 have not an ass here,” said the Khojah ; at the same moment the ani mal began to bray in the stable. “ Ho !” said the man, “do not I hear your ass braying in the stable ?” “ What !” exclaimed the Khojah, “would you take the word of an ass in preference to mine ?” It happened oncethatthe Kazi (judge) of Sary-llissar (a village near Constan tinople) got drunk, and fell asleep in his vineyard; the Khojah, walking with a friend, passed by the place, and see ing the K izi’s condition, stole his gown, and placed it upon his own shoulders. W hen the Kazi awoke, and missed his gown, he summoned his attendant-, and sending them in different directions, commanded them to arrest the person with whom it should be discovered.— One of the officers recognized the gown on the Khojah’s back, and seizing him, dragged him to the Melikemeh (the public tribunal). When the Kazi saw him he demanded, “ Khojah Etlendi, where diJst thou find this gown ?” The Khojah answered in a loud voice so that all the spectators might hear: “As 1 was walking this morning with a friend, we saw a Kazi, so reckless of the holy law he was appointed to ad minister, that he lay in an open field, dead drunk and asleep. My compan ion, in indignation, spat upon and kick ed him ; 1 took his cloak, and put it on me. If it be thy property, lam wil ling to resign it to thee.” “ No, no, Khojah !” cried the Kazi, alarmed for his reputatu n ; “it is none of mine ! it is none of mine !” A “Dictionary Word.”— “John, saida master tanner in South Durham, the other day, to one of his men, “bring in some fuel.” John walked off, revolving the word in his mind, and returned with a pitch fork ! “ I don’t want this,” said the wonder ing tanner ; “ 1 want fuel, John.” “ Beg your pardon,” replied the man; “I thought you wanted something to turn over the skins.” And off he went again, not a whit wiser, but ashamed to confess his igno rance. Much meditating, (as Lord Brougham would say,) he next pitched upon the besom, shouldering which, he returned to the counting-house. H's master was in a passion. “ VV hat a stupid ass you are, John,” he exclaimed ; “I want some sticks and shavings to light the fire.” “O-h-h-h!” rejoined the rustic, “that’s what you want, is it ? Why couldn’t you say so at first, master, instead of using a London dictionary word ?” And, wishful to show that he was not alone in his ignorance, he called a comrade to the tanner’s presence, and asked him if he knew what fuel was. “Ay!” answered Joe, “ducks and geese and sich like !” ■ • • > <• BSpUA “ vagabond-looking fellow,” but with some wit, nevertheless, was brought before a magistrate at Stour bridge, last week, on the charge of steal ing turnips. After making some droll remark, he was asked by the magis trate, “ But didn’t you take the turnips found in your pocket?” Prisoner: “I your worship! certainly not. I went to sleep in the field amongst the turnips, and the three found in my pockets grew into them while 1 lay, the heat of my body causing them to shoot up fast er than ordinary. 1 steal turnips, your worship! I’d scorn the action !” (Loud laughter.) A High Authority.—Mr. Curran was once engaged in a legal argument; behind him stood his colleague,a gentle man whose person was remarkably tall and slender, and who had originally in tended to t ike orders. The judge ob serving that the ease under discussion involved a question of ecclesiastical law, “Then,” said Curran, “I can refer your lordship to a high authority be hind me, who was once intended for the Church, though, in mv opinion, he was fitter for a steeple.” HOGAN At THOMPSON, WHOLESALE BOOKSELLERS AND STATIONERS, J\To. 30 North Fourth street, Philadelphia.

CAUTION. —C rtain PRETENDED MANUFAC TURERS of Steel Pens, having adopted Joseph Gil lott’s style or Label, his mode of putting up his Pens, and also Designating Numbers, he desires to give tile following NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. That all genuine packages or boxes of Joseph Gil lott’s Pens have a sic simile ot his signature on the reverse side. None other are genuine. This caution espe cially refers to his original No. 303, the great popularity ol which has caused it to be imitated, and the number adopt ed by a host of pretended makers. Joseph Gillott would further advise the public that, in aj| cases where his Numb, rs anil the phraseology of his Labels are adopted by the parties above alluded to, the Pen* are not made by him, although asserted to be. Ail experience of thirty years has enabled Mr. Gillott to bring his Steel Pens to the highest state or perfec tion, and the liberal patronage which he has long enjoyed at the hands of the American public, will incite him to con tinued exertion to maintain the favor which he lias ac quired.
