Fare thee well! the ship is ready, And the breeze is fresh and steady Hands are fast the anchor weighing; High in the air the streamer's playing; Spread the sails, the waves are swelling. Proudly round the buoyant dwelling. Fare thee well ! and when at sea, Think of t hose who sigh for thee; Fare thee well! and when at sea, Think of those who sigh for thee, When from land and home receding, And from hearts that ache to bleeding, Think of those behind who love thee, While the stn is bright above thee! Then as down to ocean glancitig, With the waves his rays are (lancing, Think how long the night will be To the eyes that weep for thee. When1lhe lonely night-watch keeping, All below thee still and sleeping As the needle points the quarter O'er the wide and trackless water, Let thy vigils ever find thee Mindful of the friends behind thee!

THE LOVERS. BY 1TRS. SIGOURNEY. The watcl-light of the lovers siream'd Forth from their lattice high, As lost itt deep discourse they sate, While summer windq went by. The bandog howl'd, the clouds did lower, Winds shook the willow's stem, The clock toll'd out the midnight hour What were such sounds to them. Oh, steal not on their tranced speech Of smile.: nd murmur'd sigh, Shake not the dew -drop from the rose, Dim not tle opal's dye; For life hath many a path of thorn To wound the feet that rove; But yet no sunnier spot than this Break not the trance of love.

Each panckatge being accurattely described and scrupulotaly secured, is received and regis tered tat Sohmnane by the proper authorities; and there it retmains, intact and inviolate, despite notional convulsions and ministeri at chainges. No event, however un)ex pect ed, or however extraordinary, is suffered to affect thte sacrednelLss of the trust; and no colnsiderationt of country or of religion, mili tates against the admissiott of deposites that may be rendered by those anious to secure thetr property againast casuialties. On one side nay be seen the forttune of an orphan conafided to the keeping of the directors of thte institution during~ his minority; on the other, the capital of a merchant who is pursuing htis traffic over seas.

In one of his ex r4ionsof this nature, he accidental ly fell W with .a pair of young people who were about to get married. Mr. Weems havingimale himself known. was immedi. ately applied to, to perform the ceremony of uniting them in wedlock. Afrer this im portant matter had been settled, the idea very naturally suggested itself to some of the company that a dance would be very pro per on the occasion M r. W. had no objer tion; andthe only diffictilty which appear ed to render the prposal impractie-able,was that they had nofiddler. It was whispered thant the difficulty could he overcome if cer tain arrangements could he made. Aeconi iglv, a curtain was stspended from the ceiling. extended from one side of the room to the other, and presently behind it vas heard the thumbing and tuning of a violin, and soon after the merry dance began. All things went on gaily and merrily for a while, but suddenly the curtain was torn loose, when lo ! who should the company behold but Rev. L. Weems, f6ddling awaV as if for poor dear life itself, but really 'for the amusement of the dancers. It is certainly a happy faculty to be able to turn one's hand to any thing. Mr. Weems was one of the most eloquent preachers of his time one of the chantest writers-an honest ped dler-a first rate fiddler, and abovo all, a good man.-Balt. Sun. Anecdote of Dr. Black.-Soon afler the appearance of Mr. Cavendish's paper on hydrogen gas, in which he made approxi mation to the specific gravity of that body, showing that it was at least ten titnes light er than the coalimon air, Dr. Black invited a party of his friends to supper, informin g them that he had a curiosity to show them. When, the company invited, had assembled, he took them-tnto a room, lHe had the al lentois.pf a calf' filled with hydrogen gas, and upqn setting it at liberty, it immediate. l ascended and adhered to the ceihing... . 'he pheomenon wvas easily accounted for; it was t:alen for granted that a small black thread bad -heen attached to the allentois, that this.;tfiread passed through the ceiling, and thak some one in the apartment above, hiv puling 'the thread, elevatedl it to the ceiling4 ad kept it itn this position. This explanation, was so probable, that it was accedetto by the whole company; though like mdny plher plausible thmeories, it turn ed out wh6ly unfoutnded, for when the al lentois wans.brought down, no thread what ever weetattached to 'Dr. Black ex plained,the cause of ascent to his ad miring.fr id. but such was his careless ness f'ovap ~teputation, or the information of the puhlic that he never gave the least ac cotunt of' ibisecurious experiment even to his class; and more than 12 years elapsed before this obh4ous property of' hydrogen gas was applied to the elevation of air-bialloons, by Mlonsieuar' pharles in Paris.....ffitory of Chemitry. .FreuscA p5ljenesgs.-Thep~ following comn phmetit was lately paid by a Parisian den ttst to a ladly.

Ti; EVIL AND TIHE rE4.1FDY.-So-9MO persons who have travelled much in steam oats, are very strong in th3 opinion, that ardent spirits have been the cauue of not only the destruction of the Pulaski, :Put of all the stearmboats which have been lost at the south and West. A letter has been pub lished in the Mercantile Journal, frot it geulenah in Virginia, who has travelled lurmg the pant winter several thousand miles upon the Mississippi and its tributa ries, who says there is ground for the gene ral opiiion, that intoxicating drinks are the cause of nine-tenths of the loss of life and property which occur on board 1 the steam ere of the west. On board of eight difTerent boats in which lie travelled, lie says it was a general custom, if not universal, to let out the privilege of keeping the har to some person who would agree to find the deck hands and oflicers or the boat in drink. and would put a certain number of decanters of spirit on the dinner table every day. Al lowing that the captains are reputed sober men, and profess to limit their views to the moderate use of spirit, yet, as lie sjays. it it is easilyseen how readily abuse may take place, wieu there!is not one in twenty of the captains. who does not hold to the ex ploded delusion, that strong drink is neces sary flor labouring men, and who are then selves, with but few exceptions, moderate drinkers. It is time Congress took this subject up. Un!ess something is done by that -body, these awful calamities will continue to take place, and perhaps they will then, unless the community refuse to travel in boats where ardent spirits are allowed to any, either passengers or crew. If one boat on each of the great thoroughfares should com mence in this way, we believe they would he well patronized.-Zion's Herald. Washington Irving has said-"There is something in sickness that breaks down the pride of manhood, that softens tlie heart,and brings it back to the feelings of itifancy. Who that has languished even in advanced life, in sickness and despondetcy, who that has pined on a weary bed, in the neglect and loneliness of a foreign land. but has thought of the mother that looked on his childhood, thatsmoothed his jillow and ad mitiisterec to his lielplessness?

W,powER's LAMtENTATIoN.--...wo gen tlemen having lost their wives, were usual ly throwni together and commencedl a con versation in regard to their disconsolate situations. One of them observed that the last day he spent with his dear wvife was as pleasant as the first.

The manulicitures give em ployment to .50,000 men, and activity to 11,(H)( looms. The wool of which they are m1.ade is not produced in the country, but is brought firon Thibet, wcro it i4ar article of extensive tra!fi, regulated with greatjealousy; it is originally of a dark grey color, and is bleached in Cashmere. The yarn of this wool is stained with such co, lor as may be elcemed best suited for sale, and after being woven, the piece is once washed. 'The'_ borders, which usually dis PlIy a variety of ligures and colors, are at tached to the shawls after 11tbriction, but in so nice a manner. that the junction is not discernable. The shawls usually con sist of3 sives, Iwotof which, the long and sinall squase, wich are in common use lin India, are tie sorts usttally sent to Eng land; the other, long and very narr,>w, with at large mixture of black in them, are wornt as a girdle by many of the Asiatic. They are generally 3old in pairs: the price varies according to the qualitv, and is considera bly enhanced by the iinitoduction of flower work- For the En;lish sarket, those with colored grounds and htadsome rich borders and flowers are most esteened: the plain white shawls, bein:; eloselyi imitated;1h England, aie schlomi in demand.

I may affirna that there is no brook crowned with wil lows near Elsinore, where Ophelia could have perished; and the enthuslastic reader of Shakspeare may be relieved from th pain her fate has inspired him with, by the conclusion of its falsity. Tie grave of Hamlet, as seen in Denmark, is to the back of the mansion of Marienslust. About a stone's throw you catch a view of the sea bei ween t contiguous clump of trees plan ted in a circle, and it is noted by some scattered square stones of small size, which appear to have once served for a cenotaph, and which stands on a knoll or rising mounal covered and surrounded by beach trees. I could learn nothing of their history-they seem little respected or thought about by the inhabitants of Elsinore, but pious anad romantie pilgriis have conveyed away considerableiportionsof them, & a few years will probably winess their total dispersion. -Slandish's lNtices of the Northern Capi tals.
