#tmo from tljt j.'orts. stillFlieboe. by w. w. story. Who from restful love would wander ? Let me pitch my happy tent Where its music streams meander Though the valley of Content! Lessons of divinest beauty, Acts which scent the very thought, Circling round Life’s lowliest duty, To the loving heart are taught. Glimpses of a pure ideal, Not removed from sight and sense. Bloom in beauty round the real, Like a fragrant effluence. From the vale the lofty summits, Light-enchanted, show moie fair ; Yet within Love’s peaceful limits, Flowers are planted every where. * What the ever toiling seeker, Vainly sought on fame’s bleak height, Unto humbler hearts and weaker, Yielded a perpetual light. Peacefully the plant upgroweth, Peacefully the planets move, Tempests reach no tide that floweth, Nature’s deepest art is Love. Life shall not through aspiration Over Nature’s law transgress ; Only in her limitation Are the bounds of happiness. From the London Literary Gazette. THE MUSE’S WORKSHOP. ALTERED FROM THE ITALIAN OF LEOPARDI, BY ROBERT FERGUSON. In youth, I had my trade to choose, And paid a visit to the Muse ; She kindly showed me through the shop, All from the bottom to the top ; And there, in order due displayed, Explained her different tools of trade. I saw the anvil and the bellows, The hammers—rare old stalwart fellows ; I marked the new self-acting planes That smooth and level without pains, And much the process did admire That spins a bar to miles of wire ; There, likewise, tastened to the flooring, Were plenty of machines for bor(e)ing ; And high amid the rafters dusty, The brave old models growing rusty. I watched the process for awhile— At length I asked her, “Where’s the file?” “The file !” she answered ; “bah ! Nous avons change tout cela ; This, my young greenhorn, is, you see. The era of machinery. As for the files, we never miss ’em— We go on quite a different system ; And our advantage is, that then Boys do the work iustead of men.” From the Baltimore Clipper. SONG. Air — Otoe vie a Cot in the Valley I love. Oh! give me a dram of the liquor I love, A lounge in some Hotel, where tippling friends rove, I care not how vulgar the bar-room may be, So I have the money to lavish there free. The boxes so cozy shall be our bright bowers, The odor of rum casks, the perfume of flow ers— There with glasses o’erbrimming, we’ll wish not to roam, Ah! who would envy the Toper his home. Oh ! would’st thou be free, to the Ale House repair, ’Twill steep every sense in forgetfulness there— Oh! would thou be free, a light pocket to sway, Come visit the Taverns, by night and by day, Then when substance is squander’d, and dark is each hearth, And the hearts that still lov’d us we lay in the earth— When the bright eye3 we’ve faded, in death lose their spell, Oh', say, who would envy the Drunkard his Hell ?” Jtfeellamj. ESCAPE FROM A SHARK. Hardy, in his travels through Mexi co, gives the following lively account of an escape from a shark:— “ The pla cer de la Piedra Negada, which is near Loretta, was supposed to have quanti ties of very large pearl-oysters around it—a supposition which was at once confirmed by the great difficulty of fin ding th s sunken rock. Don Pablo, however, succeeded in sounding it, and, in search of specimens of the largest and oldest shells, dived down in eleven fathoms water. Ihe rock is not above one hundred and fifty or too hundred yards in circumference, and our adven turer swam round and examined it in all directions, but without meeting any in ducement to prolong his stay. Accor dingly, being satisfied that there were no oysters, he thought of ascending to the surface of the water; but first he east a look upwards, as all divers are obli ged to do, who hope to avoid the hun gry jaws of a monster. If the coast is clear, they may then rise without appre hension. Don Pablo, however, when he cast a hasty glance upwards, found a tintetero had taken a station about three or four yards immediately above him, and, most probably, had been watching during the whole time that he had been down. A double-pointed stick is a use less weapon against a tintetero, as its mouth is of such enormous dimensions, that both man and stick would be swal lowed together, lie therefore felt him self rather nervous, as his retreat was now completely intercepted. Put, un der water time is too precious to be spent in reflection, and therefore he swam round to another part of the rock, hoping by this artifice to avoid the vigi lance of his persecutor. What was his dismay when he again looked up to find the pertinacious tintetero still hovering over him, as a hawk would follow’ a bird! Ile decribed him as having large, round, and inflamed eyes, apparently just ready to dart from their sockets with eagerness, and a mouth (at the re collection of which he still shuddered) that was constantly opening and shut ting, as it the monster was already in imagination, devouring his victim,or at least, that the contemplation of his prey imparted a foretaste of the gout! Two alternatives now presented themselves to the mind of Don Pablo; one, to sutler himselfto be drowned;the other,to be ea ten. He had already been under wa ter so considerable a time, that he found it impossible any longer to retain his breath, and was on the point of giving up for lost, with as much philosophy as he possessed. But what is dearer than life 1 ? The invention of man is seldom at a loss tofind expedients for its preser vation in cases of great extremity. son a sudden he recollected that on one side of the rock he had observed a san y spot, and to this he swam with a imaginable sp ed; his attentive ne . n ) st . watching his movements, aiK eeptng measured space with him. As soon as he reached the spot,he com menced stmng it with his pointed stick, m such a way that the fine particles rose, and rendered the water perfectly turbid, so that he could not see the mon ster, nor the monster him. Avaling him self of the c loud by which himself and the tintetero, were enveloped, he swam very far out in a transvertical direction, and reached the surface in safety,altho’ completely exhausted. Fortunately he rose close to one of the boats; and those who were within, seeing him in such a state, and knowing that an ene my must have been persecuting him, and that by some articifice he had saved his life, jumped overboard, as is their common practice in such cases, to frighten the creature away by splashing in the water; and Don Pablo was taken into the boat more dead than alive. SULTAN AND DERVISE. An incident, which occurred soon af ter the accession of the present sultan, shows that, in some respects at least,he is not indisposed to follow up the strong traditions of his race. At the begin ning of his reign, the Ulema was resolv ed, if possible, to prevent the new sul tan from carrying on those reforms which had ever been so distasteful to the Turks, grating at once against their religious associations and their pride of race,and which recent events had cer tainly proved not to be productive of those good results anticipated by Sul tan Mahmoud. To attain this object, the muftis adopted the expedient of working on the religious fears of the youthful prince. One day as he was praying, according to his custom, at his father’s tomb, he heard a voice from beneath reiterating in a stifled tone the words, “ I burn.” The next time that he prayed there the same words assail ed his ears. “1 burn,” was repeated again and again, and no word beside, lie applied to the chief of the imans to know what this prodigy might mean, and was informed in reply that his fa ther, though a great man, had also been, unfortunately, a great reformer, and that as such it was but too much to be feared that he had a terrible penance to undergo in the other world. The sul tan sent his brother-in-law to pray at the same place, and afterwards several others of his household; and on each occasion the same portentous words were heard. One day he announced his intention of going in state to his father’s tomb, and was attended thither by a splendid retinue, including the chief doctors of the Mahometan law. Again during his devotions, were heard the words “1 burn,” and all except the sultan trem bled. Rising from his prayer-carpet, he called his guards, and commanded them to dig up the pavement and remove the tomb. It was in vain that the muftis interposed, reprobating so great a pro fanation,and uttering dreadful warnings as to its consequences. The sultan per sisted. The foundations of the tomb were laid bare, and in a cavity skilfully left amoung them was found —not a burning sultan but a dervise. The young monarch regarded him for a time fixedly and in silence, and then said, without any further remark or the slight est expression of anger, “You burn ? We must cool you in the Bosphorus.” | In a few minutes more the dervise was in a bag, and the bag, immediate ly after, was in the Bosphorus; while the sultan rode back to his palace, ac companied by his household and min isters, who ceased not all the way to ejaculate, “Mashallah. Allah is great; tKora iw no God But Go<l, and Maho met is his prophet.” \De Vere, Sketches. Worthy of Imitation. —Dr. J. V. C. Smith,in a recent letter from Ant werp, says: —“ It is one of the national customs, both in Belgium and Holland, to plant the roads with trees —secure- ing comfort to the traveller, protection from the sun’s rays to animals, while excellent timber is raised in abundance for the construction of bridges, and for all public necessities. Between the city of Brussels and Waterloo is one continuous magnificent forest of lofty beeches, the shafts free of all limbs 40, 50, 60, and 80 feet. For miles in suc cession, the tops of these magnificent trees meet over the track, at an eleva tion of perhaps 90 to 100 feet, in the form of a gothic arch, completely in tercepting the sun’s rays. It is not un like passing through some of the large cathedrals, which are found strewn in profusion all over this theatre of for mer human activity, and present moral deterioration.” |'l)iliisD)ilii] far flit | ! 'raiilf. Ml ASM A Dr. Charles Richardson, of Balti more county, Md., has recently pub lished a small volume on the “potatoe rot,” which is spoken of as a valuable contribution to knowledge on that in teresting subject, in the course of which he has touched upon a presumed kind red topic of especial interest to the low country of the South. Os this part of his book, the Baltimore Sun has the following notice: “A part of the work consists of an essay on miasma,its nature, the manner in which it acts on the human system in producing disease, the character of the disease, the mode of treatment and manner of its prevention. This is quite an interesting portion of the work, and one which is worthy of par ticular attention in many parts of our country. Wc extract the following statement from amongst a series of similar experiments, in which the re sults sustained Dr. Richardson’s the ory ; “ Mrs. Westley, living in the forks of the Patuxent, in Anne Arundel County, had for many years never es caped having miasmatic disease in the majority of the members of her fami ly, which consisted of four children, five servants, and herself. In Septem ber, in the year 1822, I was called to see her. She was ill with billious re mittent fever. I had two of the chil dren and two servants, put into a sepa rate room to sleep. The countenances of all these indicated approaching bil iary disease. The other two children remained in her room, with one ser vant to wait on her. The other two servants lived in an adjacent house. J took a long-necked glass retort, placed it on the hearth in the chimney, the point coming through the fire board. To this was attached a long crooked tube, which opened into a large tub of water, setting some little dis tance from the hearth. The children laid in a trundel bedstead, about one foot high—the servants slept, on the floor. In this retort was placed a cer tain portion of black oxide of maga nese, on which was poured sulphuric acid, and the flame from a strong lamp SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. was applied to the bottom of the retort which caused the oxygen to be disen gaged, and thrown into the room where these four slept. This, at first, was done every night, and after awhile every other night, until the frost came. All these four appeared perfectly ro bust, healthy, and soon regained the usual florid color of countenance, w hich, when they commenced to use the oxy gen. was of a pale yellow, sickly cast. All the rest were down with remittent or intermittent fever. The following year the experiment was repeated on all that slept in the house. All who used the oxygen remained free from disease. Os the two servants in the outhouse, one was attacked by disease w hich was so violent that all efforts were in vain to save him. This sec ond year, miasmatic disease, as is so common in that locality, was generally prevalent. The author presents a system of ven tillation, in connection with this branch of his subject, which, he is confident, would render any place, habitable,even the black hole of Calcutta. The sub ject discussed is of such universal im portance, that Dr. Richardson’s theory and practice may well command par ticular attention. Drying Plants. —Plants may be dried in such a manner as to be ex tremely beautiful, retaining the whole of the volatile oil and aroma, and their true colours. To effect this, they must be dried in a dark and close room, and not, as is usually t cease, by exposure to a current of air, and the action of light. When the separation of their acqueous particles is effected by their evaporation, and they are tolerably dry, they are to be submitted to pres sure in small quantities, enveloped in a slightly absorbed paper, until the oil appears on the surface, and which is known by its discoloration ; by this, all change of colour, by the action of the light or further loss of volatile matters by evaporation is prevented. In pot herbs, as w r ell as medicinal plants, this will be found a very deci ded improvement. • ♦ ■ Discovery of a Yellow’ Camelia. —Mr. Fortune, the English traveller, and botanical collector, has lately un expectedly discovered a real yellow camelia. It proves to be one of the anemone flowered race, the exterior pe tals being French white, and the cen tral ones of a rich primrose yellow. He found it in blossom in a nursery garden, in one of the towns in the North of China, which he had visited in search of tea plants. Ants. —To drive away ants, use sul phur steeped in water; in the gravel walks, strew the gravel with salt, and then water it; this will apply also to worms. Boiling water is also effica cious, but drowning them out wfith wa ter useless. 51 Column (Errrtrii fn jfun. TAKING THE CENSUS. Great as is the glory of being a gov ernmental functionary, and sweet as is lh<> oo.tlofa.otion of* iHruotlng one’s lmml now* and then into Uncle Sam’s money chest, we confess we do not envy the Deputy Marshal’s their fun in count ing the noses of all the men, women, children, and negroes, in their districts. Many rich scenes will occur, probably, during the execution of their present job, which would stagger the combined genius of a Boz and a Titmarsh to do them justice. Already the fun has be gun, and the wags of the press stand ready with tablet and pencil to daguer reotype it in all its richness. The Buffalo Republic tells a capital story of a rubicund visaged old gentle man, with nose bestrid with green spectacles, to add to the awful dignity of his appearance, going to take the census of an Irish shanty. Mrs. Mur phy is at home, with the new-born ba by in her arms, and about a dozen of the “rising gineration” about the floor. The Marshal, assuming an official air of importance, opens his book, points his pencil to the virgin page, and look ing up, asks the question : “ What is your name ?” “Why, thin what’s that to you, now ?” “ My good woman —” “ Arrah, don’t give us any of your blarney, I’m no more a good woman than your mother was.” “ Madam—l wan’t to know the ex tent of your family—l am taking the census.” “ Oh, you bloody old thief! Is it wanting to take away our sinses ye are ? Bad luck to me, but I knew ye war some sort of a necromancer, sure enough !” “ My dear madam—” “ Out, you ould schemer ! Jemmy, let Tiger loose, and bring me the pick axe, quick!” Exit Marshal, in a hurry. HAD A HAND IN IT. The following squib was “perpetra ted” in one of the public schools in Philadelphia county. We are not aware of its ever having appeared in print, and its too good to be lost. It seems that a few hours’ exemption from mischief had greatly enlarged the bump of “treachery” in the upper sto ries of some of the young “ideas,” and they took and smeared the ballustrade from top to bottom with tar, and when the master came in, he very naturally laid his hand on it, when he mounted the stairs. lie was soon aware of his mishap, but said nothing about it until the scholars had all been called in and had taken their seats, when he acquaint ed them with the fact, and said he would give any one five dollars that would inform him who had a hand in it. At the moment, up jumped a little red-headed urchin, who said— “Tliir, you setli you’ll give any one five dollerth who’ll tell you who had a hand in it ?” “ Yes.” “ Now, tliir, you’ll not whip me, will vou ?” “No.” “Well, thir, y Now you won’t whip ? 4 ’ “ You young scamp, I'll lick you if you don’t tell pretty soon.” “ Thir, y-o-u Oh, I don’t like to.” “ Go on, or I’ll skin you alive !” “ Well, you had a hand in it /” The master gave in, and forked over. How Bridget dried the Candles. — Aw’ay up in Vermont, n long time ago, an Irish “help” had spoiled a lot of can dles, by letting them fall into a hogs head of rainwater. Her mistress’ pa tience gave way entirely, under this disaster, and she retired to her room in a passion. While trying unsuccess fully, to calm her excited feelings, by taking violent exercise in the rocking chair, an odor, more penetrating than agreeable, assailed her nose, and caused her to exclaim — “Sakes alive, Bridget, what’s the matter now?” “Nothin’ ipa’am,” replied Bridget, “I only put the candles in the hot oven, for to dhry /”— Blade. Aunt Dilsey. —“ Forty dollars for the higher branches,” read Aunt Dil sey, the other day, in a school adver tisement. “Well,” soliloquized she, “ if that ain’t a new T kick, I’m a heathen. In my day, when children went to school, they were taught to read and write, but now they must have ’em playin’ in the branches. My mother used to keep me out of the branches when I was a little gal. particularly when they was high. But now, peo ple pay forty dollars to have their children put into the ‘higher branches.’ Well, well, that dreadful critic, the cri sis, them Congress men is talking about so much, is certainly arriv.’ A Half Price. —The following con versation took place at 10 o’clock, last week, between an abolitionist, and the famous Gumbo Gaul, Esq., Extraordi nary Boot Biack to the folks round Dock Square, and Professor of Carpet threshing and the higher white-wash ing. A—(pulling off a boot) —“Gumbo, you ought to do my boots for half price.” Gumbo—“Yessar! sart’nly sar —I’ll half do ’em d’reckly sar!” Cholera and Cucumbers. —Two in dividuals met on Saturday evening, one having a market basket, when the fol_ lowing colloquy took place : “ Smith, what’s the cholera report to day ?” “Ten.” “By George ! that’s a falling off, 1 11 go back and get some cucumbers.’ Exit man with a market basket. Utaliragß nt llimiuint. A Yankee editor says he’d like to die a lafin, to see a drinkin’ chap trying to pocket the shadow of a swinging sign for a pocket-handkerchief.” Mrs. Partington thinks that there will be such felicities for travelling, bimeby, that we can go any w here for nothing and come back again. THE HAPPY PAIR. Says Dick to Jack, “your neighbours say You wrangle with your wife each day “Poo, poo,” says Jack, “they only joke, Tis now a fortnight since we spoke.” Both prudence and politeness warn us that a man should attend to his dress and to his address; in youth that he may please, in age that he may not dtVplease. “Mr. Jenkins,” said a tradesman at Sydney to a recent arrival there, “ will it suit you to settle that old account of yours 1 ?” “ No, sir, you are mistaken in the man—l am not one of the old settlers /” “ 1 say, Pat,” said a Yankee to an Irishman who was digging in his gar den, “are you digging out a hole in that onion bed?” “No,” says Pat, “1 am digging out the earth and leaving the hole. The following request was made at church : “A sailor going to sea, his wife desires the prayers of the congre gation for his safety.” It happened to be read thus : “A sailor going to see his wife, desires the prayers of the congregation for his safety.” “Pray, Mrs. Zapriska, why do you whip your children so often?” “La, Mr. Worthy, I do it for their enlightenment. 1 never whipt one of them in my life that he did’nt acknowl edge that it made him smart.” “What’s the matter, Johnny Bull ?” said a fellow to a limping English man. “Ho, dear, ho, dear,” said the En glishman, “h’l’ve ’urt me ’eel, ’obbling hover the ’ups in hour halley !” Without sorrow, life would he no better than a dream. Grief is reality, and though bitter as wormwood, mor tals love it, for it makes them feel themselves, and know the value of each other. “So you would not take me for twenty ?” said a young lady to her partner, while dancing the polka, a few evenings ago, “ What would you take me for then ?” “ For better or for worse,” replied he. John Adams ex-President of the United States, being called upon for a contribution for a Foreign Mission, said— “have nothing to give for that pur pose ; but there are in this vicinity six ministers, not one of whom will preach in the other’s pulpit—now I will give as much as any one else and more, to eivi li e these clergymen,” “Is there any thing really the matter with you ?‘’ said a physician to a person who had sent for him. “I don’t know how it is,” was the re ply, “1 eat well, sleep well, and have a good appetite.” “Very well,” said the doctor, “I’ll give you something to take away all that.” A gentleman travelling on horseback, not long ago, came upon an Irishman who was fencing in a most barren and desolate piece of land. “What are you fencing in that lot for. Pat?” said he. “A herd of cows w’ould starve to death on that land!” “ And shure, your honour, wasn’t I fencing it to keep the poor bastes out iv it ?” From China, there is a very inter esting report to the effect that the empe ror is about to tolerate Christianity in his dominions.

Philadelphia, June, 1850. ts JOSEPH GILLOTT’S STEEL PENS. MANUFACTURER'S WAREHOUSE, 91 JOHN-STREET, NEW YORK. ALARGEstock of these well known PENS constantly on hand, lor sale as above. CAUTlON.—Certain PRETENDED MANUFAC TURERS of Steel Pens, having adopted Joseph Gil lott’s style op Label, his mode of putting up his Peris, and also Designating Numbers, he desires to give the following NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. That all genuine packages or boxes of Joseph Gil lott’s Pens have a sac simile of his signature on the reverseside. None other are genuine. Thiscaotionespe cially refers to his original No. 303, the great popularity ol which has caused it to be imitated, and the numberadopt ed by a host of pretended makers. Joseph Gillott would further advise the public that, in all cases where his Numbers and the phraseology of his Labels are adopted by the parties above alluded to, the Pens are not made by him, although asserted to be. An 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 has ac quired.
