If ever you should cotne to Modena, (Where among other relics you may see Tassoni’s bucket—but Mis not the tiue one,) Stop at a place near the Reggio gate, Dwelt in of old by one of the Donati. Its noble gardens, terrace above terrace, And rich in fountains, statues, cypresses, Will long detain you —but before you go, Enter the house—forget it not I pray you— And look awhile upon a picture there. ’Tis of a lady in her earliest youth, The last of that illustrious family ; Done by Zampieri—but by whom I care not. He who observes it—ere he passes on— Gazes his fill, and comes and comes again, That he may call it up when far away. She sits inclining forward as to speak, Her lips half open, and her finger up, As though she said “ Beware her vest of gold Broidered with flowers and clasped from head to foot, An emerald stone in every golden clasp ; And on her brow, fairer than alabaster, A coronet of pearls. But then her face ! So lovely, yet so arch, so full of mirth, The overflowings of an innocent heart— It haunts me still, though many a year lias fled Like some wild melody! Alone it hangs Over a mouldering hair-loom, its companion, An oak chest, half eaten by the worm, But richly carved by Anthony, of Trent, With Scripture stories from the life of Christ; A chest that came from Venice, and had held The Ducal robes of some old ancesto. — That by the way—it might be true or false— But dont forget the picture ; and you will not, YVhen you have heard the tale they told me there. She was an only child—her name Ginevra— The joy, the pride ol an indulgent father ; And in her fifteenth year became a bride, Marrying an only son, Francisco Doria, Her playmate from her birth, and her first love. Just as she looks there in her bridal dress, She was all gentleness and gaiety, Her pranks the favorite theme of every tongue. But now the day was come, the day, the hour ; Now, frowning, smiling for the hundreth time. The nurse, the ancient lady, preached decorum ; And in the lustre of her youth, she gave Her hand, with her heart in it, to Francisco. Great was the joy, bul at the nuptial feast, When all sat down, the bride herself was wanting. Nor was she to be found ! Her father cried, “ ’Tis but to make a trial of our love !” And filled his glass to all; but his hand shook, And soon from guest to guest the panic spread. ’Twas but that instant she had left Francisco, Laughing and looking back and flying still, Her ivory teeth imprinted on his finger, But now, alas, she was not to be found ; Nor from that hour could any thing be guessed, But that she was not! YVeary of his life, Francisco flew to Y r enice, and embarking, Flung it away in battle with the Turk. Donati lived—and long might yon have seen An old man wandering as in quest of something, Something he could not find—he knew not what. When'he was gone, the house remained awhile Silent and tcnantless—then went to strangers. Fifty years were past, and all forgotten, When on an idle day, a day ot search Mid the old lumber in the gallery, That mouldering chest was noticed ; and ’twas said, By one as young, as thoughtless as Ginevra, “ Why not remove it from its lurking place?'* ’Twas done as soon as said ; but on the way It burst, it fell, and lo! a skeleton YVith here and there a pearl, and emerald stone, A golden clasp, clasping a shred of gold ; All else had perished—save a wedding ring, And a small seal, her mother’s legacy, Engraven with a name, the name of both— -41 Ginevra.” There then had she found a grave! Within that chest she had concealed herself, Fluttering with joy, the happiest of the happy ; When a spring lock, that lay in ambush there, Fastened her down forever ! From (he Darien Telegraph. MY LIFE IS LIKE THE SCATTER’D WRECK. BV ROBERT EMMETT HOOK. “ My life is like the summer rose.”— R. H. JVildt. My life is like the scatter’d wreck, Cast by the waves upon the shore ; The broken masts—the rifted dyck— Tell of the shipwreck that is o’er ; Yot from these relics of the storm The mariner his raft will form, Again to tempt the faithless sea ; But hope rebuilds no bark for me. My life is like the blighted oak, That lifts its sear and wither’d form— Scath’d by the lightning’s sudden stroke— Sternly to meet the coming storxn ; Yet round that sapless trunk will twine The curling tendrils of the vine. And life and freshness there impart— Not to the passion-blighted heart. My life is like a desert rock, In the mid ocean lone and drear; Worn by the wild waves’ ceaseless shock, That round its base their surges rear; Yet there the seamoss still will cling— Some flow’r will find a cleft to spring, And breath e’en there a sweet perfume ; For me life’s flow’rs no more will bloom, A THOUGHT ON DRESS. Simplex mundiciis.— Hot. “ Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express’d infancy ; rich not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man.’’— Shah. As I stood the other day, at the door of one of our most fashionable resorts, I could not help remarking the various changes our dress have undergone within the last few years. Having a singular zest for the investigation of such small pieces of history, I indulged myself, on the occasion, in contemplating some of the strange revolutions which mankind hace undergone in this respect. I think my time was not unreasonably spent, and I shall endeavor to enlighten the worthy reader with a few of the grave reflections my fancy dic tated at the moment. As little a matter as dress appears to be, I recollected it had given birth to some of the most important events of history. There, I found religion had interfered in the adjust ment of its fashion, and had declared hetero dox all those who dared to shave the head; while the trimming of the beard, in the pecu liar phraseology of the time, was denounced, as “ a lie against our faces, and an impious attempt to improve the works of the creator.” While one nation was torn with faction at the color of its coats, another tottered and trem bled to its foundation, in establishing a cock ade, or the riband of which it was made. In short, my reflections soon brought me to the conclusion, that from the external appearances of men, I could as easily discover their talents and dispositions, as one can infer from the acenerv and climate of a country, the pecu liar character of its inhabitants, or the phre nologist from the bumps or cavities of the skull, the various quality of the brains under neath. For the first lime, I felt the excellent “ rhyme and reason” of the old English couplet, — “ Dress often, like the horse’s skin. Lk)th tell what srt of blood’s within.” From the mutubilitv which fashion pre sented, I began seriously to doubt whether dress would ever he brought to a fixed and proper standard. My doubts were gathering fast, and I had almost come to an unfavorable conclusion, when I luckily espied our friend Simplex. His appearance and conversation soon convinced me that such a thing might be attained. If it will serve my purpose, I shall give a brief sketch of our friend’s char acter : Simplex is not what the girls would term— a handsome man; he is scarce comely; but by a nice judgment, which he exercises m his manners and dress, he has overcome the un kindness of nature, and has crept into the esteem and friendship of every one. If the fine qualities of his heart are covered by the plainness of his exterior, his good sense has so admirably mansged it, that they are #*!! shown through all their obscurities; and the homeliness of his person is at once overlooked in the captivating ease and gentility of his manner. I have over and over admired his success in pleasing every one, and have more than once asked him the great principle of so charming an art. He tells me it is easily ac quired by the simple rule of “moderation.” He maintains there is, even at this day, hut a step between the sublime nnd the ridiculous, and the mean between these extremes is the amiable and the beautiful. The true and correct line in manners and in dress, lies be tween the two opposites of the vulgar and the affected. It passes equally and smoothly through the middle slate of nature and art, partaking of the original strength and sim plicity of the one, and the proportion and polish of the other. Our character, says he, should consist of natural and original material, which, like the marble, should at the same time he shaped into purposes the most useful and beautiful. In the great and stirring revolutions which have been, for some time back, agitating the fashionable world, I have watched Simplex closely. Although twenty such have taken place within the Tew last years, he seems to have kept pace with them ail; yet no one can tell wherein his appearance of to-day dif fers from that of yesterday. A short* time since I strolled into his hall, and there found, hung around the room, the portraits of his ancestry, back to the third and fourth gene ration. I could not help smiling at the gro tesque figures which some of them cut in their antique drapery. There stood some old grandam, with a face which age had ochred over, peeping from beneath a venerable cap of rich and costly lace, with petticoats con taining in their trail as much superabundant cloth as a modern bishop sleeve—the whole falling in modest festoons over the projecting and upturned toe of some needle-pointed shoe. There, beside the aforesaid grandam, like a true knight of chivalry, smiled her loving spouse, with the powdered peruke, all friz zled o’er with curls—his sleeves deeply and expensively ruffled—in one hand his cocked hat, while in the other is valorously grasped his “ gentlemanly sword,” which perhaps had rendered its owner as little service as it had done the Stale. What a contrast, thought I, to a lady and gentleman of modern date ! How matron-like, venerable and modest, ap pears the grandam. How flimsy, ridiculous and absurd, the grand daughter. I was about to draw the portrait of the latter ; hut I repented of my design. I should blush that posterity should have it to laugh at. When I get into these ill tempers about the fashions, my feelings are at once appeas ed, if I can come across Simplex. Meet him when you will, he is neat. Not like one out of a bandbox; but dressed after such a man ner, that like the parts and counter parts of a good play, each article of his clothes seemed exactly suited to the time, the place, and the circumstance. You are never attracted from. the qualities of his mind by the pride or sin gularity of his dress. He only regards that which cover* him, out of respect to the world, and in this particular, he reminds one of some rich and valuable tree; if the eye is at first delighted with the rare beauty of its foliage, it is only as a preliminary attraction to the more valuable body, by which such beauty is sustained and supported. His is not an ephe meral fashion, which changes with every ca price. It is the same yesterday, to-day and to-morrow ; and withal is in the world. Upon this alone, he has established his character. He well knows that men have come into so ciety from social feelings; and he concludes, that s jcial actions must mark their inter course, as well in small matters as in great ones. He thinks, therefore, that singularity in dress is not to be assumed by anyone pre tending to sense. Whether it be denoted in too much neglect, or too much carefulness, it bespeaks a degree of inexcusable vanity. Os such he often exclaims, as Socrates did to the cynic Antisthenes, who ostentatiously exhibit ed the rents in his garments, “ Alas, rnv friend! you discover your vanity, even through the holes in vour cloak.” The great success of Simplex, sis I have said, is in moderation ; or as the ancients ex press it, in the “ modest mean.” He is never before or behind the world, but always in it. Hence, he has acquired a high reputation with all the fashionables, as well as considera ble weight amongst the moderates. With both, his taste has become a sort of standard. Indeed, no one can look upon him without at once appreciating his proper rank. I have sometimes contrasted Simplex with another friend of mine, who is likewise considered a leader of the bon ton. When Ido so, I can not help thinking of Aesop’s fable of the pea cock and crane. The one with its singular and gaudy plumes, keeps down o the admi ration of the ignorant and vulgar; the other, with its modest comeliness soars aloft, above the clouds into the heavens. The simplest bird can stand up on a level with the one; only the better sort can reach the dignified elevation of the other. One peculiarity of my friend, I must not omit. It is as singular as it is unaccounta ble. He tells me, that his moderation has enabled him to meet all his tailor’s hills, which he liquidates with great punctuality. Con ceiving this an unusual departure from the customs of genteel society, I have once or twice endeavored to argue him out of the habit; but he is inexorable, and still continues the practice. Why a man of his excellent good sense should be actuated by such an eccentricity, I could never discover. I have seen many whose dues exceed his, six times the amount, give themselves little trouble; yet Simplex follows not their example, but persists in giving his attention to such trifling matters. THE NEW PRECEPT, OR THE ELE VENTH COMMANDMENT. The eminent Archbishop Usher, beinu out on a visit in Scotland, heard a great deal of the piety and devotion of the famous Mr. Samuel Rutherford,who, he understood,spent whole nights in prayer, especially before the Sabbath. The Bishop wished much to wit ness such extraordinary down pouring of the Spirit; nut was utterly at a loss how to ac complish his design. At length it came into his mind to dress himself like a pauper; ants on a Saturday evening, when turning he called at Mr. Rutherford’s house, and ask ed if he could get quarters for a night, since he could go to no other house at so late an hour for that purpose. Mr. Rutherford con sented to oive the poor man a led for a night, and desired him to sit down in the kitchen, which he cheerfully did. Mrs. Rutherford, according to custom on Saturday evenings, that her servants might be prepared fir the Sabbath, called them together and examined them. In the course of examination that eve ning, she asked the stranger how many com mandments there were? To which he an swered eleven. Upon receivin'? this answer, she replied, “ What a shame it is for you ! a man with srrey hairs, living in a Christian country, not to know the ten commandments. There’is not a child of 6ix years old in this parish but could answer this question pro perly.” She troubled the poor man no rcor •. ♦Vnkins? him so verv ignorant; but lamented his condition to her servants ; and after giv- ing him supper, desired a servant to she him upstairs to a bed in a garret. This w the very situation in which he desired to i placed, that he might hear Mr. Rutherfor at his secret devotion. However, he wa; disappointed ; for that night that good man went to bed, but did not liill asleep for some hours. The stranger did not go to bed, hut sat .listening, always hoping to hear Mr. Rutherford at prayer; and at length con cluding, that all the family were asleep, the Bishop thought if he had been disappoint ed of hearing another oflering up his desires to God at the throne of grace, he would em brace the opportunity himself, and poured out his heart to God with so much liberty and enlargement, that Mr. Rutherford, immedi ately below, overheard ; and getting up, put on his clothes. Should this have awakened or disturbed Mrs. Rutherford, she could have suspected Nothing of his design, seeing h< rose commonly every day at three o’clock ii the morning; and if she could hear one at prayer afterwards, she would naturally con clude it was her husband. Mr. Rutherford went up stairs, and stood waiting at the gar ret-door till the bishop concluded his devo tion; upon which he knocked gently at the door, and the other opened it with surprise, thinking none were witness to his devotion. Mr. Rutherford took him bv the hand, say ing, “Sir, I am persuaded that you can be none other than archbishop Usher; and you must certainly preach for me to-day, being now Sabbath morning. The bishop confess ed who he was, and after telling Mr. Ruther ford what induced him to take such a step, said he would preach for him on condition that he would not discover who lie was. Happy union of souls, although of different persuasions! yet not marvellous; God makes but two distinctions among mankind, the righteous and the wicked. Mr. Rutherford furnished the bishop with a suit of his own clothes, and early in tire morning he went out to the fields ; the other followed him, and brought him in as a strange minister passing bv, who had promised to preach for him. Mrs. Rutherford found that the poor man had gone away before any of the family were out of bed,. After domestic worship and breakfast, the family went to the kirk, and the bishop had. for his text (John xii. 23) “Anew commandment I give unto yo, that you love one another ;” a suitable subject for the occasion. In the course of the sermon he observed this might be reckon ed the eleventh commandment: upon which Mrs. Rutherford said to herself, “ that is the answer the poor man gave me last night;” and looking up to the pulpit, said. “ It cannot be possible that this is he!” After public worship, the strange minister and Mr. Ru therford 1 spent the evening in mutual satisfac tion ; and early on Monday morning the former went away in the dress he came in, and was not discovered. S From the Atlantic Journal. SULPHUR IN TREES, TO DESTROY ALL INSECTS PREYING ON THEM. Farmers and gardeners ought to hail with rapture a safe, certain, easy and unfailing mode of driving away or destroying all the insects, bugs, caterpillers, lice, ants, which prey upon trees and often kill them. Numberless have been the means proposed or devised to get rid of these troublesome guests, most of which are dirty, costly, or unavailing. Our farmers appear to have given up in despair the hope of preventing the deadly attacks of curculios on the roots of peach trees, and the fruits of the plumb tree. Vet an efficacious mode is Baid to have beet’ found several years ago in France, per fectly efficacious and applicable so all ca ses and all trees. The man who discovered it, deserved a splendid reward yet his name lias not even reached us. But we claim th ? honor to have been the first to make known the pro cess in America, in 1823, in Kentucky, and in 1827 in Philadelphia. Yet the most useful knowledge is so slow to spread, that the fact is hardly known yet, or doubted by those who know of it. We are happy to he able to publish two direct experiments in support of the fact and discovery. Ist. We bored and plugged with sulphur, in the usual way, a plumb tree, which com monly dropped every year all the plumbs be fore becoming ripe, the curcvlois lodging eggs in their germs. This was done when the tree was in blossom. On that year hard ly any fruit fell, and the tree produced quite well. ~d. We find in the Genesee Farmer, of January 2S, 1832, that a young willow near ly killed by aphis or lice, and pissmires feeding on their honey,was quite revived in three days, and all the lice and ants driven off; hv boring the tree with an auger live feet from the ground and three-fourths through the diame- - ter, filling with brimstone and plugging ti<riit. The tree has thrived ever since. ° ° The modus operandi of this singular pro cess is very easy to explain. The'vital ener gy of the tree and sap, dissolves the sulphur, carries it into circulation, and envoives it in sulphuric gas evaporating through all the pores of branches, leaves and fruits. This gas is a deadly poison to insects and all ani mals, it suffocates them or drives them avvav as 3oon as they begin to smell it; but no inju ry whatever results to the tree. W e have never heard yel of any direct experiment on peach frees; but we are sure it will answer quite as well. If the sulphuric emanation could not reach qt ick enough the roofs of the trees which are commonly attack ed, ihe plugging must be done near the root or at the time of the descending sap, when it will sooner reach the roots. Let it he tried and the results made known. C. S. R. Slinjhu-cr Oil. —This article is beginning to attract attention in the west. Messrs Prouty fe. Cos. of Whartons, Ohio, in a letter to the editor of the American Farmer, state that they are now engaged in the manufac ture of sun-flower oil, and that they could forward to Baltimore eight or fen barrels im mediately, if there was a prosjMTt of rls meet ing a ready sale. Sun-flower oil is used in York, Pa. in paints, in lamps, and as a sub stitute lor olive oil on the table. We use it, and prefer it on all occasions instead of olive oil. Wc would recommend a fair trial of it bv the painters, and hope the manufactures will not l.e discouraged by the want of Market. —American Farmer. jjr “ N> young, unmarried woman,” says Je remy Levis, “ ought to be permitted to read a novel of any description.
