>? ? POETRY. i. From Poulsor/s American Daily Adver tiser. Reflection* qf the Votary of Pleasure in or aqiitaru hour. 6h, TELL MK HOT THAT ftfcASUEfc'S CHARM. OH tell me not that Pfeasure's charm* Can Kill the pangs within; Oh tefl me not its soothing balm, Can heal the wounds of sin? For though it cures with winning smile, And bliss that mocks controul; It proves ere long but secret guile, . A snare To cheat the soul. Oh tell me not thtse brilliant gems, Can banish writhing care; Oh tell me not that'dkraeihs Can gild the sou}> despair?* For though with rich and liquid hue> . They cast each shade behind ; They cannot charm the loathing view, Or please th' immortal mntd. Oh tell me not thtt every joy> '* 7'he world can hfcre bestow ; la free from mtoery'a sad alloy, Unmixed with bluer wo? for earthly joys though bright* are brief; Aa suns precede the storm; they gleam awhile, but tinge eur grief, With aorrow^a darker form. Tell me not this, For now no mote, The syren's voice Tan please; T*U me not this, the spell is o'er* 'f Which once could whisper case? But tell me that the joys above, Arc those which ne'er can fade j Tell that they b!o6m eternal love, Unditr.med by sorrows shade! tMOX TH? F8JLJMKLPNIA VSJotf. ^ A CHARADE.

"Do not hope perfect happiness there It tio audi thing In this sublu nary state. "Your in move exposed to suffer, because it it always in de pendence; lie nether angry nor ashamed of tide dependence on hatband, nor of any of those which are in the order of Providence. " Let your husband be your heat friend, and your e ufthappy you are too delicate in friendship. " Meg of God to guard your heart from jealousy?do not hope to bring back a husband by complaints, ill humor and reproaches. The only means which promise succcss, are patience and softae**; imjMtience sours and alienates hearts, softness leads them back to their duty. "In sacrificing your own will, {>retend to no right over that of yov.r tusband ; men are more attached to theirs than women, t>ecause educated with less constraint. They sre na #t?rally tyrannical; they will have pleasures and liberty, Jet insist that i woman renounce both. Do not ex amine whether their rights are weN founded ; let*it suffice to you, that they are established They are rnns tpra ? ? we have only suffer, and ol>ey with a good grace." The following remarks arc addressed to & Husband* from the nen of a Lady: Observe every rule given to her, (as preceding) if you would be hap py $ and believe me the heart of wo men is not less dclicate than tender; their sensibility is more keen; they feel more strongly than men do; their tenderness is more easily woun ded. Above all things, retain the politeness and attention of a lover, and avoid that careless manner, which wounds tlie vanity of human nature ; a passion given us, as were all pas sions fo* the wisest end9, ? ! apho:;ism& I For young? unmarried Ladiee. If you have blue eyes you need not languish. If black eyes* you need not lear. If you have pretty feet, there is no necessity to wear short petticoats. If you have good teeth do rtot laugh less than occasion may justify. If you have pretty hands and arms, there can be no objection to your playing on a lute, if you play well. If yon have a disposition to be clumsy, workiapestryr ? If you have a bad voice, rather speak in a low tone. - If you have the finest voice in the world taever speak in a high'tone. T If you dunce welly-dance but sel dom* If yoti dance ill, never dance at all. If you sing well make no previous excuses. ?If you sing indifferently, hesitate not a moment When you are agked ; for few people are judges of singing, but every one is sensible of a desire Urplease. ? , If in conversation you think a per son wrongs rather hint a difference! of opinion than offer a contradiction. ? If you discover a person to be tel ling an absolute faleshood, unless it ii particularly injurious, let it pass in silence; for it is not worth your while to make any one your enemy, by proving him or her a liar. Never touch the sore place in any one's character; for be assured,| whoever you are, that you have a, sore place in vour own; and a young] woman is a flower that is blasted in a moment., It is always in your power to] make a friend by smilea^what a folly then to make enemies by frowns. When you have an opportunity to praise do it with all your heart. When you are forced to blame, appear at least to do it with reluc tance. ^ - Make it a rule to pleas* all* and never appear insensible to any desire of pleasing or obeying yon, however auitwardly it may be executed. If you are dis|>osed to be pettish or insolent, it is lietter to exercise your ill-humors on your dog, or eat, or jour femme de chambre than your friends. | If you would preserve beauty rise early. i If you would preserve esteem be gentle. If you would obtain power be condescending. If you would live hanpy endeavor] to promote the happiness of others. 71 Uterary Error Corrected m FROM THE DELAWAKf. WATCHMAN, 1 have seen in some of the late pa* pers, a poetical piece, erroneously ascribed to my pen, entitled " Obliv ion," which has an excellent moral] point, and would be very good, ifj the action was more consistent, and the personification less extravagant.t It contains the following, amongj other stanzas: 441 saw a conqueror in his car, Loaded with trophies gain'd afar? 1 saw Oblivion hurl his dart, And pierce the hero to 'the heart." Now, 1 never saw any such thing in all my lite. Ho far from it, that I should not even suspect poor old Oblivion of nny sbcti active doings as (bis, ani other wiW pranks, of which he is accused in several other verses, such as " striking down a; mighty monarch" (a 44 legitimate"; one, too, I suppose) auri kicking &; monumental'column (mercy ujun> his toes) out of its place into the mud or dust! Now, they who can believe; such things, are entnely mistaken in the character of Oblivion, who is extremely slow in motion, and by no means such a roy storing bully as to strike, stab, kick, and lay ahuut him in this manner. No? Oblivion is but a poor old superannuated, sleepy, lame and lazy negro servant in this great liotel, the World.? When some wild young buck, in toxicated with the fumes of Ambi tion, has disturbed the w hole estab lishment with his riots, broke the furniture, quarrelled with his best fnitnd a aurl '?I ?-?"-7 vmwmvuj^vu ilia viiviikv n (all to shew that he is a man of spir it and honor)?and, \vh\?n exhausted by his own violence, and stupifled by excess, lie begins (0 doze?then you may see old Oblivion yawning and Creeping Softly into the room conveying the Hew of the night to his chamber, adjusting him in Ixut, drawing, the curtain, darkening the room, and returning to the scene of debauch, whrte he slowly removes, one by one, the broken bottles and chairs and otherlesthnmails of the now sleeping bully's exploits?and, anon, all is silence and darkness. I leave it to the common sense of my acquaintance to decide, whether I could be so preposterous as to ac cuse such a harmless old fellow as this, of knocking down a king, wan tonly upsetting a huge marble pillar, drawing life Ik>w and arrow (if he had one) without provocation, upon a " conqueror," or any such mad tricks. 1 think 1 shall be acquited of this absurdity. 8. OSBORK. June 3> 1810. EDENTON, (n. c.) JUNE 4$. Eloquence qf the Rostrum* Mk? Willis, The following brilliant specimen of electioneering eloquence, was af forded by Mr. John Holland, of Beaufort County, who offers as a Candidate, to represent in Congress, the district composed of the Counties ofTyrrel, Washington, &c. It was delivered in the Court-House of Washington County, at the tat ses sion of the County Court, and is copied from notes, accurately taken on the spot, by a gentleman present, who, though he found it impossible to keep way with the rapid flights of the *f>eaker, has faithfully preserved the substance, and in most instances the very words of the address. If, as a litt&rary curiosity, or in any oth er view, you think proper to give it a place in the Ga2ette,.it is at your ser vice. ? A Subscriber. fThS Orator, having obtained permission from their Worships, mounted the ros trum, tmUtmr a most profound and cap tinting bow, spoke'aft follow *s My Worthy Friend* and Fello* Citizen*. - By leave of the Worshlpful Court.] I have the liberty to speak from this! place, and tell you my business here. The Congressional election is a mat ter of great importance. Five thou* sand votes are not to 1* trilled with.1 A new election is to take place in1 August. I did not come here to hammer dawn l)r* Hall, or anv can didate or narty. But you have a choice, and a right to do aa you please. The public seem to wish an opposition and, from the unanimous solicitation of this district# I ofter my self as a candidate. I am convinced you are alt my friends, and not my foes. 1 came among you from the love qf my country and the rights of mamf and I hope you ill congeal yourselves together, and go hand in hand with me. [Hear him.] You have had the trial of several members from this districMy un? ' cle Air. William Kennedy, Ken. was a candidate, and was elected. I know you congealed yourselves to-j gether in bis favor. His principles atfd mine arc the same.?[Hear.] I am not opposed to the present administration, or any of our wise and great wen, who are the balance tcheel of our country. 1 speak against no party. Are you a republican? assume your ovu rights. Are you a fathered? declare your own politics, i voted for Monroe. He is 4t vex |>eclal)le, a great, and a good man. When IkS was at Washington, in Beaufort cdunty, I had the pleasure to see him, talk ^itli him, and escort him. Me has the power of congeal ing hia friends together. 1 had a view also of Mr. Calhoun, and his lady. In *75, my father stepped into the ranks. He was at Gertnantown, to the North, and Briar Creek, to the South. I feel the same zeal that he did. [Bravo. J The last war was right. Did you find a single man that said, " don't tight ?" and very properly : for if a man says he icill kill yony then kill him: if he says he icill burn your house* burn his. We must never sufl?" our rights to he hammered down, by those inferior to our inde pendence. We fought for u free trade and Bailor's rights." Look at the attack on the Chesapeake Douglass staved eighteen (mils through her, wounded eighteen citi zens, and killed three. JLobk at the burning of \Y ashington, aud then say if \ve had not sufficient cause lor war. Jackson has been blamed abtmt Am brister?But look at tjampton, and at Dartmoor prison; where a fcw men hail merely gone but on a party of pleasure, a^d they will justify what he did; Yesj Jackson has enabled you to tote the key of liberty in your pocket: How did they reward him at Htmtsville ? He bid 82 an acre on a section of public land worth SsSO, no body would bid against him, and it was knocked off to him. He turn ed about and thanked them. long as there was a shot in the locker, I was determined to uphold the war. [ gave five barrels of coru for the support of poor Soldier's wives. [Bravo. 1 At March term of Beaufort Court, 1 wm accused of being an enem} to Lawyers, 1 am not so. Adams v a-> a Lawyer | so was Madison, anil Monroe, and Crawford*and Calhoun and Jackson.?And so was Jefferson, who can ride to Washington, hitgit his horse to a peg and then go into me house, and show more sense than ten thousand of them'[ vVbat a man? wi^at a man!] But still we are not to depend on Lawyers. Some of tliem you can't borrow from, because tliev have %*. ? ' a * nothing to lend. In the attack, on Baliimore, General Koss was kiiled. He was headed up in a hogshead of| mm, lyul sent home. Did a Lawyer kill him? No it was a plcugMioy. Was Washington a Lawyer r No, but be was a great and good man. He was the morning star of the world; he illuminated as he went, and congealed his friends together. [I^oud cheering;.] 1 wish you, my friends, to think tor yourselves. We are all born in fants, hut by reading and thinking we become philosophers. My sen timent* are the love of my country and lite rights of man, and I wish you to pin this on your slesvs9 and not forget it. I am m republican, and 1 shall Pe so as long as I have brains as bigas the head of a pin. We are republicans. The power is with us, the people; and our government h\ founded on the will of the people, and on merit? And Crawford, by merit, came forward, without money or friends. The Mechanic, the Farmer, and the Merchant are the watchmen and bulwark of our country. Look at the shooting of the cornstalk which nourishes the milch cow. Cherish the dairy-maid and do not let the re publican milch-cow go dry. Let us take the cream and the butter for our selves, and give, to our enemies, the bonny-clabber and whey. [Loud cheering.] | As to the compensation law, it is a serious affair; but it rests with the people. , What is eight dollars a day ? Give it, if the people say so? but not otherw ise, die that eats thv meaty yriust eat the hove, I lev uUr l)i\ Hall vote on this question ? Had I been \licit*, I would have voted for 80 a day, This they can't do with out ; unless you say that, like cattle, the are made of henses, as it is to a sinner to examine his conscience; the deeper they search, the worse they find themselves. From the .lmerican Farmer. To destroy bed-bugs.?Make a de coction of sassafras hark or root, not so sirong as to stain tl^e furniti **e, and scald the wainscoating of yoar rooms, once a year, and I will en gage, a chinch bug.will never entet it. This 1 know from experience. An old Man. Remedy for a Cough. Roasted onions eaten just before going to bed, for a few nights success sively, has been found to lie an ex cellent remedy for a tough. Since I commenced the publica tion of this paper,, (says the Litch field, Cons. Republican) now four weeks, I have heard of no death, nor of any marriage, taking place in this vicinity: it can therefore be call ed not only a time of health, but of contentment. The following paragraph appear ed in a Providence paper: " Tr?urellers should be careful t<> deliver their baggage to proper pet nous, as a gentleman a fep day since on lighting from a stage coach entrusted his wife to a stranger, awl has net heard from her sins*."
