For the .ldvertiser.
SIR H1U.\PHRY DAVY.
Mr. Editor:
Did you ever hear of Sir Humphry
Davy as a poet ? As a ehymi-i. his fame
has spread over the eivil:ze'd world; but
it is not generally known that he had a
poetic, genitus of the highest order.
Southey, Coleridge. and otherq. said of
hirr., that had he. turned his attention to
poetry, he would have altained the first
ronk.
It is said. by his biographer, that, lii.
Pope. - lie lisped in number-." t i<4
perlhps, not to) lie regretted that he culti
vaited his talent for philosophical pursuits.
nI'; the world has been so largely benefitned
ly his investigations His s;fety laIp is
a riet.r of1'ring to the world, than all the
lpo-try orfHomer, .\ iton. and Byron.
Ilik poem, called - The Solis of
(eniu." contains many passa.ges, :,
enntiful. I think. ns any in the Engrlh,6
laiguage. Will yon publish the follon% in.
xtract ?
Bright bursting throuih the awful veil of night
Thr innar- lams upoi; the ocean play:
The watery lillows shine % iih tretnbling :ight.
o here the swift breezes skim alon;. the sea.
The glimmering stars in you etherral plain
Grow 1:nle, and fade before thle lunar-beams;
Save where fair Venus. shining o'er the main
Conspicuous stil: with finter radiance gle'ams.
Clear as the azure firmrotment above.
Save where the white cloud floats upon the
hrecz-'
Al' tranquil is ti e bosom of tLe grove.
Save where the zephyr warbles through the
trees.
Now the poor shepherd.wandern - go his home.
Surveys the darkening s.-ene with fearful eye :
On every greetn sees little elfin- roam
Atl haggard spritesalonthe mooibeams fly.
White Superstition rules th- vulzarsoul,
Forbids the ener gies of mano to rise.
Raised far above her low. her meann control,
Aspiring Genius seeks her native skies.
She loves the silent, solitary hours;
She loves the stilhiess of the starry night.
When. o'er the bright'ning view Selene pours
The soft ellulgence of her peusive light.
THE SWAY OF REASON.
Before her lucid, all-enlightenoing ray,
The pallid spiectres of the night retire;
She drive, the 'gloomy terrors far away,
And fills the bosom with celestial fire.
nspired by her, the sons of genius rise
Above all earthly thonghts, all vulgar care;
Wealth, power, and grandeur, they alike
despise,
Eraptur'd by the good, the great, the fair.
A thousnd varying joys to them belong,
The charms of tature and her choangefoil
seettes
Their's is the music of the vcrnal song ;
And their's the colors of the vernal plaitis.
Their's is the putrple-tinEed evening ray,
With all the radiance of the evenitng sky ;
There't is the splendor of thte'risen day,
Enshrined in glory by the stun's bright eye.
For thetm, the zephyr fans the odorons dale ;
For them the warbling streamlet softly floows;
Fur thema the Drynds shade the v'erdant vale ;
For them sweet Philomel attunes her woes.
To thema no wakeful moonb'eam shines in vain
On the dark bosom of the trackless wood;
Sheds its mild radiance o'er the desert plain;
Or sot'ly glides along the chrystal floods.
Yet not alone delight the soft and fair,
Alike the grander scenes of toatture move ;
Yet tnt alone her beauties claim their care,
The great, sublime, anod terrible they love.
When the red lightninigs though the ether fly'
And the white fotaming billows lash'.he shores;
Whlen to the ratitlinog thunders of' the sky,
The angry demont of the waters roars;
And when, untouched bhy. Natmt e's living fires,
No native rapture fills thoedrowsy soul,
Then former unges, ivitn theiltineful hyres,
Cin bid the fury oftthe poassi i flall.
By the blue taper's melancholy light,
Whilst all around thte idinight torrents pour.
And awful glooms beset the face of night,
They near the silent, solitary hour.
Alt! then, how sweet to pass the night away,
In silent converse with the Grecian page;
Whlilst hlomter tunes his eve'r-living hay',
n...r-anon lhtens to thn Ajhonian onsge.
To scan thelaws of Nature, to explorc

Or on Newtonian wings sublime to soar,

A TALE OF GRENADA.
BY W.Stti5010s ItRVING.
There was once a poor mason or brick
layer in Grenada, who kept all the Saint
days and holy days, and St. Monday i
the bargain, and ' et he grev pourer anc
poerei, and could scarcely earn breaf
ter his numerituis family. One night hi
was aroused froim his first -Ieeep by -
knock at the door. lie opiened it, and be
held before him a tall meagre, cadaverou:
looking priest.
"lIlark ve. honest friend," said the stran
ger, "1 have oftenoliserved that you are
good Chrisian, anod one to be trutel; wil
you mndertake a job this very imglit ?"
" With all m3 hearl, Senor Padre, or
Condttion that I am paid accordingly."
"1That you shall be, but you must suffe
yourself:o he bliniloled."
To s the m isoni made no objection
so heina huodwinked, he was led by ib
p.iest through various rough lanes an.
wiling passages, until Ilie stopped befori
lhe portals ola house. The priest the.
applied a key, turned a creaking lock, on<
upened what seemed to be a pouderou:
loor. TheN quickly emtered, ihe door wa
elosed, and holled, and the ina-on wa
eonducted through ;in echiing corrido
and spacious hall, into the int-rior part i

tmoved fi-om his eyes, and be fnt.d him

"-Well then, to-morrow at midnight
ut ill call again."
He did so. and the vault was completed
*'Nov,"said the priest, "you must hell
tie tit I, ine- forth iie bodies that are to b
biuried in this vault."
ut these twords; he Followed the pries
wiiih trembling- steps iito a rotired ehiain
her of the maision, expectingiZ to behol
me ghastly spectacle (ifdetl It, oit wa
relieved on seeing three or four porily jar

itlliculty that lie and thIe priest carried
tniem tie the tomb. 'I'he vauI was thei
elo,ed, the pavement replaced, and all tra
r-es of the work obliterated.
The nason was agamin hoodwiniked an
led forth y a route different fromi that b;
which lie had rome. A fter thev hut
wandered for it long time throtg a per
plexel maze of lanes and alleys, they hal
led. The priest then pitt to pieces n
old into his hand. ", Wait here," saii
be, util you hear the cathedral bell til
for intins. If you presime to unicove
your eyes before that time, evil will befal
yo." So saying , he departed.
The masen waited faitllifilly. amusin
himself by weighing the goold pieces in it
hand and clinking them against each oth
er. The moment the hell riag its mutil
peal, lie incovered his eyes, ;md oulin
himself on lie hanks of the Penil, froi
whtence he. made the best or his way heom
antd re'velled with his famiily for at wheil
formiiht on the pirofits eof his nights' weorli
after which lie wtas as poor as ever. H
coniited to work it little and pray a gnu
de'al, to keep Saitnts dlays and hoely dlay
frotm year ro year ; while his ifamily gre'
up as gaunit and raged ais a crew of gip
sie-s.
As he wvas seated one mornting at th~
dooer of his hovel, he was accosted bty
rich old matt, whlo wvas noted for ownint
mtany houses aud being a griping Jati
lord.
The mani of money eyed him for a nit
ment fromi beneath a pair of shaggy ey.
browtis.
-'l am told], friend, that thou art vet
poor."
- There is ito denying the fact, Senoi
it speaks for itself."
" I preseene then, you will be glad of
joh, and wtork cheap 7"
"'As cheap my master, as anty mani
Grenada."
".That's what I want. I have an ol
htouse geing to decay, that costs mel mor
than it's woerth tot keep it in replir -fotr ne
body will live int it; sol mu itst contrive
pat ch it up,and kee p it together at as sma
an expense as poistible.
The masont was areorditngly conidiete
to a huge, deserted honi~e th-it seemed gc
ing to ruin. [Passinig through several empi
ty halls atnd chamibers, lie entered an it
iter coutrt. where his eye wvaseatight hy te
old 'd1nerishm foeuctain.
"Ilt seems t me,'' saidl he. Cias ir I ha
hoen in this plhace btefore; liut it is like
dreamu. Pray wvho occupied this lions
formtetlv?"
"iA piest upon him!" cried the land
lord. "It tvas an old miserly ptriest, wh
cared ror noboedy hut himself. It w~
stuppotsed he would leave all his treasur.
to the chturch. He died suddenly atnd iih
friars thronged in to take possession oh hi
money ,buet nothing coeuldthcy find hut
ran. riors in a Jeather ntnrse. The wars
luck has fallen upon me, for since his
death the fellow continues to occupy my
house without paying rent, and I frad
there's no taking the law of . dead man..
The people prete d to hear the clinking of
gold all night long in the chamber where
the old mtan slept, as if he was counting his
money and sometimes groaning and moura,
ing about the court. Whether true or
false, these stories have brought a had
name upon my house, and not a tenanti
will retain within it."
"tEouigh," cried the mason, sturdily
'let ic live in your house, rentfree, uutil
some better man presents, andI will engage
to put it in repair, and quiet the troubled
spiritb that disturb it. I ant a good chris
tian and a poor man, and not to be daun,
ted."
The ulzer of the poor man was very
readily accepted; he moved with his fami
ly into the louse and fulfilled his engage
uents. By little and little, ie restored it
its former state. There was no longer
heard the clinking of gold at night in the
chamber, lit it began to be heard by day
in the pockets ol the living mason. In a
word, he it.creased rapidly in wealth, to
the admiraion of all his neighbors, and
becaiie one of the richest men in Grenada.
H'. guve large sums to the church, by
way no dloumt of satisfying his conscience,
and never revealed the secret of his wealit
uitil on his death bed, to his son and heir.

The Providence Journal thus speaks of

To live to ourselves-to take pleasure
in the imnisiortunes of others-to have no
