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.
