THE SEA SHELL.
Shell of the brigh s a waves !
What u it that we hear in thy sa 1 moan ?
Is this unceasing music all dune own 1
Lute of the ocean caves !
Or does some spirit dwell
In the deeir windings of thy chamber dim,
Breadline forever in its mournful hymn
Os ocean’s anthem swell ?
Wert thou a murmurer k ng
In costal palaces ben ath the seas
bright air, though kadst heard tire breeze
Pour its full tide of song ?
Another thing with thee—
Are diere not gorgeous cities in the deep.
Buried with flashing gems that daily sleep,
Hid by the mighty sea ?
And say, oh lone sea shell,
Arc there not costly things, and sweet perfumes
Scatter’d in waste o’er that sea-guif of tombs J
Hush thy lew nroan, and teil.
But yet, more sad than all—
Has not each foaming wave in fury tost
O’er earth’s most hetiutilul the brave, the lost,
Like a dark funeral pall ?
’Tis vain—thou answerest not!
Thou hast no voice to whisper of die dead— •
’Tis ours alone, with sighs like odors shed,
To hold them unforgot!
Thine is as sad a strain,
As if the spirit in thy hidden cell
Fin’d to be with the many tilings that dwell
In the wild restless main.
And yet there is no sound
Upon the waters, whispered by the waves,
But seemeth like a wail from many graves,
Thrilling the air around.
The earth, oh moaning shell!
The earth hath melodies more sweet than these,
The niusic-gush of rills, the hum of bees,
Heard in each blossom’s bell.
Are not these tones of earth,
The rustling foliage with its shivering leaves,
Sweeter than sounds that e’en in moonlight eves,
Upon the seas have birth ?
Alas ! thou still wilt moan—
Thou’rt like the heart that wastes itself in sighs
E’en when amid bewildering melodics,
If parted from its own. AMELIA.
From the Cincinnati Evening Post.
REMINISCENCES—WASHINGTON.
After the organizlion of the government
under the Federal Constitution, in 1789,
Y\ ashington made a tour to tire eastern
Stales. It was on Ins arrival at Worcester,
Massachusetts, in the course ol his tour, that
we, then a boy of fourteen, wa presented to
him by our distinguished kinsman, Isaiah
Thomas, and had me satisfaction of shaking
the hand of him who was “ first in war, first
in peace, and first in the hearts of lus coun
trymen.” We never can loiget his words,
or our feelings, on the occasion. “ Young
man” said he, “ your uncle has set you a
bright example of patriotism—and never fur
gel that , next to oar God , ice owe our highest
duty to our country.” The calm dignity of
his manner, and the mild accents of ins voice
on the occasion, are engraven upon Ihe heart,
and will be lasting as their tablet. It lias
been often asserted by his intimate fiends,
and even by some of his biographers, that
few men had the nerve to approach him with
familiarity. The following anecdote, illustra
tive of this fact, we have of ion heard repeal
ed, and its truth was confirmed to us by gen
tlemen in New York who had the best op
portunity of knowing. The late Gov. Mor
ris, in conversation with some friends on this
subject one day, when Congress set in New
York, and Washington occupied the Itouse
then in front of Bowling Green, denied the
correctness of this opinion, and offered to test
the truth ol it at once, by joining him in the
gmden, where Washington was walking
alone n,| j tl tlieir view. A bet was made
and Mr. Mui,; s went immediately into the
gat den to decide n. jj e approached in the
tear, .and as he came iq, along side gave hint
a lamiltar tap on the tlie same
time addressing him familiallv with “ how
do you do, sir?” Washington furned his h a d
and echoed hack the question, with all that
dignity that, never forsook him. Mortis was
petrified, and returning to his Inovls, de
clared that nothing would tempt him to re
peat the experiment. Although he had been
lor years in almost daily intercourse with this
wondeiful man, and supposed he might be ap
proached like other men under similar cir
cumstances, he fill his soul sick within him at
the look and tone of the voice w ith which his
question was answered. For ourself, we can
only say, that we have stood in the presence
of kings, and sat at the table with princes,
witl.out any of those feelings of awe ami re
verence which come over us like a summer
cloud when in his presence, although then in
the rccklessntss of hovhood.
vv if ii we look back on tlie tiien infancy of
our country, with a population of less than
three millions, and its limited resources, and
contrast the men of those days with the | re
sent, and our now lin.itltss means, we can
scarcely realise the difference. Washing on’s
style of travelling comported with the nurked
dignity of Ins character: on the occasion
above mentioned it was as follows : It was
his general practice to enter a town in his
chariot and leave it on horseback. His post
chariot was drawn by four beautiful bay
horses, and drove by postillions in blanket
coats, liveries, jockey caps, buckskins and
boots—while upon his right, on horseback,
rode Col. Lear, and on Ins left Major Jack
son ; next came a light baggage wagon,
drawn by two fine bay horses, and iven by a
white man in a round corduroy jacket, glazed
hat, buckskins and boots; whilst faithful Billy
biought up the rear, mounted on a fine blood
horse and leading the General’s white charger,
presented him by Charles !V of Spain, ft
was precisely in this style that we saw him
enter Worcester, followed by a cavalcade of
gentiemen on horseback. When lie left it,
the only change was that he mounted his
charger and rode between his two Secreta
ries, Lear and Jackson ; while the empty
icharot and the remainder of his equipage
lollmved after, with troops of horse and ca
valcades of horsemen, increasing as they
went until they arrived at Boston.
It was on his arrival at Trenton, New Jer
sey, in the course of his tour, that an incident
took place that would have turned the head
of any other man. It was this : when he
arrived at the bridge, he was met by a large
procession of ladies, all clad in white,
with baskets of flowers, with which they
strewed the way before him, singing a beau
tiful ode, the chorus of which was “ Strew
your hero's tcciy ivith flowers ! ‘ When he ar
rived at the centre of the bridge, as he rode
uncovered under a triumphal arch prepared
j lor the occasion, unknown to, and totally tin-
I expected by him, a crown of flowers, sus
j pended from the centre of the arch, was
I made to drop upon his head! Put what
j was a crown to him, who for years had only
I to have hinted that he would accept one, to
’ have had the glittering bauble placed perma
| nently upon his brow. There were not a
.few who wished, and anxiously sought to
place one there, but such was the purity of
i his whole life and the dignity of his mighty
■ mind, none dared to hint it to him—although
it was not possible for him to be ignorant of
their wishes. Many of those who would
have arrayed him m th- purple. ™ ere d’ .yi
ing nun, and had their object in it; hot there
were others, as pure patriots as any who
breathed their last breath for their country,
such was their veneration for the man, his
ciiuracter and services, they would willingly
have lent a hand ! Yes l the very men who,
with him, had toiled through a war of seven
years, and suffered every privation to rid
themselves and (heir country from monarchist
rule, would have restored that rule in hi3 per
son, unmindful of who might succeed him.
But it was his patriotism and wisdom that
saved our sountry from what their abundant
gratitude would have fixed upon it. Tints it
is, men will vvade through blood to freedom—
then “ throw it, like a worthless wepj, away!”
That act of his life, of all others the moat
important to his country, fias been less no
ticed than almost any other—yet it was then,
and there that he again saved his country , un
der circumstances more threatening than any
that had preceded (hern. All the toil that
had been suffered, all the blood that had been
spilt, would have been suffered and spilt in
vain, but fo>’ his patriotism, his prudence, and
his matchless xcisdom, when the arch fiend
inspired the writer of ihe Newhurg Letters.
At no period of the war of Independence,
were the liberties of our country so suspend
ed by a single hair, as on that occasion when
the war bad ceased. As long after as 1795,
the venerable Gen. Lincoln remarked to us,
that it was “ then lie trembled for fiis coun
try,” and added, “ no other man could have
saved it.” Fid ridge Gerry was present, and
remarked that “ the American people would
never know how often that man had stood
between them and ruin.” Yet there were
native sons of our soil, base enough to calum
niate his memory—and thousands, while there
are still living those who witnessed iiis une
qualled wisdom and patriotism, who are ever
ready to sneer at his illustrious deeds, and un
dervalue his great services! When the news
ol his death reached England, tite Parliament
was jo session, and Air. Fox announced the
mournful tidings in a burst of eloquence and
feeling, that, was listened to with the most
profound silence—and eulogising his most in
imitable virtues, he pronounced wisdom as
that trait in his character which distinguished
him above all other men. The eulogies de
livered on the occasion of his death were nu
merous, and elicited a large portion of the
talent nl the country. The best was that of
the Rev. Dr. Smith, President of Princeton
college. His xordknn commenced with this
soul-sliring sentence : “ Great God ! we
adore thy divine Providence, which hath
smitten the Father of his Country, and left a
nation in tears.” The next, in a philosophical
point ol view, tire first was delivered bv Dr.
Ramsay, the historian at Charleston, S. C.
lhs gentleman, at our solicitation, wrote
“ lhe Life of Washington and, far as
we are capable of judging, it is amring the
best pieces of biography in the English lan
guage, and quite as deserving of lieinga class
book in the schools, as many that find a place
there.
It is an extraordinary fact, that the life of
no man, of any age or nation, who had risen
to greatness, ever offered so few anecdotes as
his. W hen Ramsey undertook to write his
biograpfty, he sought in vain among the
friends and neighbors of the illustrious dead
for tfiese little incidents which so often enliven
the page of the biographer. We will con
clude our subject vvitli the following tribute
to bis memory by Rober Treat Paine, in his
poem on “ The Invention of Letters.”
■“ Could Faustns live,by glootny grave resign’d,
With powers extensive, as subunit his mind ;
Thy glorious life a volume should compose,
As Alps immortal, spotless as its snows.
The stars should be its type, its press the age,
The earth its binding, and the sky its page ;
fn language set, not Babel eould o’erturn,
On leaves impressed, w hich Omar eould not burn,
The sacred volume in Heaven’s highdome should stand,
Shine with its suns, and with its arch expand,
’Til nature’s self the Vandal torch shall raise,
And this vast alcove of creation blaze.”
Ferocity of an Eagle. —A curious instance
of the femcity of the eagle occurred lately in
u solitary chalet, on a pasture mountain in
Switzeiland. A peasant boy, eight years of
age, was engaged in looking after some cat
tle, and he was the sole tenant of the cottage,
as Hit Swiss train their childien very young
to this occupation. He perceived two vouno
eagles at no gteat distance on ihe ledoe of a
low rock. Tempted by i|, e pr j ze , |” ()reu .
silently close belaud the rucv >a i 1( | BiidiWnlv
grasping them in hi- arms, took p<session 6”
both buds in spite of the most determined re
sistance. He was yet struggling with l.Va
prey, when, bearing a gieat noise, he saw to
bis no little terror the parent birds flying ra
pidly towards him. He ran hastily into the
cornet and closed the door just in time to shut
out Ids pursuers. The boy alterwards spoke
of the terror lie suffered timing the day in his
lonely chalet, lest the old eagles should foicc
an entrance; as, being powerful birds, they
would in their f'nrv have ended his life. They
ktpt up the most fiightlid cries, ami strove,
will) all their might, to break down the bar
riers of the fra.l chalet, loosely built up of
single logs, and find some a venue’by which
(o rescue their offspring. But the young
peasant kepi his prey, v\t II aware of its va
lue—a lotus d’or being given by ihe govern
ment of Berne for every eagle killed. As
night approached, be saw the pursuers, tired
with their useless efforts, leave the chalet, and
watched their flight to the lofty, though not
distant precipice, and as soon as the daikness
had set in, lie again grasped thp two eagles,
and ran as fast as his legs would carry him
down the mountain to the nearest village, of
ten looking hack lest the parent birds should
l ave descried him, and fancying he heard
tHeir cries at every interval. Me arrived in
safety, however, in the hamlet, net a little
proud of his prize.— Letters from Sicilzerland.
