Poetry. * From the Winjraw Intelligencer. Farm r, Wcuith, Beauty , and Religion . Victor, what avails the wreath T hat 'erst entwined thy^bnrw ? Alas I those flow'rs no longer breath, For death hath laid thte low : Ah 1 whal avails the storied urn That blazons forth thy fame ? That sculptured vale to dust shall turn Oblivion blot thy name. \Vhat too avails these scars so dee^i, Received in battle fray ? They're firtofi of valor /"?-Time shall sweep Thy valor's proofs away i And what avails the poet's sonfc That sounds thy praises forth T The poet's head shall rqst ere long U pon its mother earth* Av'rice* what avails thy dreams Of happiness from gold ? Thy fun'ral torch already gleams* Thy days on earth arc told : What now avails thy hoarded wealth, Is it with the inurn'd ? No? ^ u naked from the earth you came, And naked have return'd I*' beauty, what avails the rose That decks thy dimple cheek ? Ape on thy head shall strew bis snows, And death his vengeance wreak : And what avails thy Form so fair, Or eyetso dazzling bright ? Th?t form shall waste 'neath sullen c are,. [ Those suns shall set in night. But blest RtLratoic, still arattyf Thy hofie blif in Hcav'n ; For though, the barque, by adverse gales, On death's dark ahore be driv'n i Yet thou canst smile ? thy steady eye Can pitrce the checrlcss gloom, And view through dark futurity, The day */iring of the tomb. ALBERT. AN HONEST LAWYEIl. I The following ' extraordinary adver tisement is copied from a 'Tennes see paner, and is respectfully de dicated to young practitioners at the Bar . < x - FIAT JUSTITIA. - Having adopted the above motto, Us early as I hud the honor of admis sion to the Bar, 1 have convenauted with toy self that I will never know ingly depart from it ; and on this foundation I have built a few max ims, which afford my reflections an unspekable satisfaction : | 1. I will practice law, because it offers to me opportunities of being a i more useful member to society, 8. I will turn a deaf ear tono man, because his purse is empty. 8. 1 will advise no roan beyond | comprehensions of his cause. " ~ ~ ~ 4. I will bring none into law who my conscience tells me should be kept out I will never be unmindful of the cause of humanity ; and this compre hends the widows, fatherless, atid those in bondage* 6. I w ill be faithful to my client ? i but never so unfaithful to myself as to l>ecoine a party in his crime. 7. In criminal canes, I will not un | derrate my own abilities ; for if my client proves a rascal, bin money in better in my hands ; and it' not, 1 hold the option. 8. I will never acknowledge the omnipotence of the Legislature ; or consider their acts to he law beyond the spirit of the constitution. 9. No man's greatness shall elevate hi in alwvo the justice due to my client. u 10. I will not concent to a compro mise where 1 conceive a verdict essen tial to my client's future reputation or protection ; for of this lie cannot be a complete judge. it. I will advise the turbulent with candor, and it they will $o to law against my advice they must pardon me for volunteering it against them, j 12. I w'Ij acknowledge every' man's , right to manage liU own causae if he I pleases. The above are roy rules of prac tice, and though I will not (at any critical juncture) promise to finish my busiuess io person, if the public interest should require my removal from lience, 1 will do every thing in my powsr for those who like them, aiul endeavour io leave it into proper hands, if 1 sliould be absent. WILLIAM TATHAM. Ktwxville , Tenn. THE ODD FELLOW. Your odd fellow is one who will do nothing like the rest of the world. There was, a few years ago, a re markable illustration of this character In one White, a man of a smainri dependent fortune, who lived in the Brough of Southwark ; this man act-, ed wholly upon the principles of con tradictions; on a sunday lie jilways. wore the worst cloathes, and fed on the worst food lie could get, because other people both cat and wore, the best ; on ^Monday,- because it is-A. holyday, he used to employ himself in some kind of work from the morn ing till night, the rest of the week he kept holyday, dressing himself just decent on a Tuesday, better on a Wednesday, better still on Thurs day, and so ort till Saturday eve ning, when other people are busy and dirty, he was the idlest and best drest man in the parish. He used to make &point of dinning on a goose /on Shrove Tuesday and on pancakes, on Michaelmas-day and fed upon oysters as long as the weather con tinued hot, bu( left oft' eating them as soon as there was any in the month; he almost starved himself on a Christ* mas day, and eat like -a glutton ; I when there was a public proclama-, tion for a fast ; when it rained hard he went without bia waistcoat or great coat, but would button himself close and warn in the hottest day in the summer ; he wrote with a skew* er cut in thfc form of a pen and fast ened his letters with paste, he con stantly sat on a low table and eat off a chair ; he slept iu the kitchen boMtft fasted in the garret, dintd in the cel lar, and eat supper all the year round " in the passage, leading to the street . door ; he married three wives and lived witfcjtf ther of them ; once a month he m&u a coach, but always rode with the coaekman ; he some times called for liquor at a public house, but always drank it at the door, he shaved himself with a pen knife and combed his wig with the cloths brush j sometimes, went io church, And staid the whole service - but never sat down ; when in com pany he never spoke a word, bnt when alone he waa always talking to himself; when ne was sick he ? sent out for the butcher* but often when in health consulted the anothe* cary ; he paid his house rent in the middle of the quarter, or always be fore it cam* due ; when he died he owed no mau a shilling, and took sufficient care that no man should ever owe him six pence. Method of making Leather impervi* ohm to water. The New England Fishermen preserve their Ixxta tight against wa ter, by the following ihethod, which it is said, has hern in use among them above an hundred years. A pint of bottled linseed oil, half a pint of muttou suet, six ounces of clean bees wax, aud fouy ounces of rosin, are melted and will mixed over a Of this, while warm not so hot as may l>urn the leather, with a brush lay plentifully on new lx>ots or shoes when they are quite dry and clean. The leather is left pliant. Fisher men stand in their boots hour after hour, withoift inconvenience. For three years past, all my slioes even of calf skin, have been so served ; aud have in no instance admitted water to pass through the leather. It is also a good salve. A. BA8ILISQN.
