^ Ah! lovely maiden ; why bo long
Unkindly hast thou spurned my love,
'When shall my true, my mounful song
So oftaepeated pity move.
Sec'st thou yon glorious rhine that flows,
Careering proudly, glittering bright;
JSo wave that in the sunshine glows,
Once passed, again shall cheer thy sight.
Ah ! so, believe me, life must fly?
Ah ! so,believe me, beauty*11 fade,
Nor wealth, couldst thou rich hoards supply,
Time's rapid footstep e'er has stray'd.
Thy bouyant life, thy beauty then,
Enjoy, while they are surely thine?
"Wait not to call them back again,
Or o'er neglected hours repine.
Now, all around loves purpled light,
Its bless'd enchantment strives to throw; *
Oh ! wouldsl thou linger till the night,
Of death has shrouded all below. 1). M.

May Peace whose two-lold image flanks

Still wave her dran> ii upon thy Banks,
And shield thy trausfers from the miner.
Long may the God of Merchandize '
His own Caduceus lend us,

From failures e'er defend us
How fares it with your vaults and coins ?
Sure 'tis enough to smash us,
With every bill in concert joins,
Like Romans, crying Cash-us !
The busts and birds of Liberty,
In silver pplieres enshrined,
Demanded by Necessity,
To her must be resigned.
In Denmark there was " something rotten,"
The like was said of (Iritis!) boroughs ;

'Scape not invectives from demurrers.
How many checks were lately given
To mushroom elevation ;
To fatal draughts how many driven,
By Fortune's malversation.

IRISH ' N A'i UK A J.S.*
Amongst the many very excellent papers
in the Now Monthly Magizric, is one by
M tiratt in, entitled 'Sketches of Irish
Fools.' To me it was peculiarly interesting
as bringing to my remembrance many anecdotes
of, and circumstances connected wit
this unhappy, yet in Ireland highly favored
class of beings. Perhaps a few of my recollections
may he welcome to you, as form
ing, 'Addenada* to the article to which I
have referred. The Turks, we have heard,!
consider tli ir madmen inspired, and suffer
them to go about unmolested, but not uncared
fur. One would suppose that the Irish entertain
the same fe_!n:<r;, lor as Grattan observe:;,

country in what is generally called fully ,'

'horn Naturals' may he more propeily de

lie was known by the sobriquet of.
'iioiled Jack,' from ihe fact of his having,
in his childhood, fallen into a b.owing copper;
how* he escaped with life is a marvel,
but his left arm and the left portion of his
face were woefully distorted; hut for this he
would have been a tall, handsome fellow: as
* ; *"w
it was, he had something rather conical than
disagneable in his aspect, and certainly
made hisonearm do t?c business of two.
Moiled Jack' was invariably asyidious in
his attention to the coolc, the hen-wife, the
gardner, but to the hen-wife in particular,
constantly assisting her in mixing the potatoes
(or the poultry-yard, until, as she sa;d,

after day, morning after morning, but no

they were, and yet they would lay no eggs.?
Tins was very provoking; the cook could
make no pudding?; there was an out-cry
throughout the house. What is an Irish
house without plenty of every thing, but
above all, a plenty of eggs? How fat ' (foiled

'Sucking eggs makes sweet voices/ chimed
in Tommy Furlong, the barc-lcgged whipper-in
of all work in the establishment.? ,
'Boiled Jack' was sitting in the chimney
corner, and his eyes gleamed upon poor little
Tommy with animal ferocity, but for a
moment, the next saw him sitting in the
same position, rocking backward and forward
as if nothing disturbed him.
Tommy's hint, however, was not lost upon
the quickwitted Irish wotnan; partly by
threats, and partly by large bribes?in the
shape of huge pieces of 'white bread and
fresh butter'?Tommy was induced to tell
all; that Boiled Jack had succeeded in un
roofing a portion of the fowlhouse; that he
robbed tin* nests every morning at day-break
?that the hens, who knew him, made no
noise, and that, carefully replacing the
slates, he proceeded with his prize to a sort
of den he had formed in the turfrick, and
there sat quietly sucking some two or three
dozen of his deli..ale favorites, invariably
cutting the shells, to prevent detection ? j
Boiled Jack was watched; the statement j
was found to he quite c .rrcct, and Lulled j

as well-fed hens should, and Tommy took
foiled Jack's place, increasing in lavor with
increasing years; but 'The Natural' had not
forgoiton his'denouncer, and one morning
when poor Tom was hclpihg the shepherd
to wa?h his sheep, theidi. t sprang upon him
from thebanksot the river, and holding the
hoy's head under water, kept singing out?
'Sucking eggs makes sweet voices?A ! ah

It is certain that Tommy's singing days
would have I ecu soon ended, had not the

In tbe reiir d village of Ihiliymitty, there (
lived a poor widow whose name was Jacob. '
She was decent, sob r and indu>trious, j
much beloved hy her neighbors, and universally

Those three young men were singularly
attached to their mother. She vvou.u often
say, '.My poor foolish boys are better to mej
than many wise children; they never cross,
or contradict me in nnv thing; they bring mej
all they got, and have wit enough to do the
good and keep fr.?m the had ' This was all
true, Hut sorrow cntne upon them. The
widow died, and was hurried. Some time
after, there was great const; rnation in the
neighborhood; for the sanctity of the grave
had been violated?'I he widow's dead body
had been stolen. No trace of it could be
discovered, and the occurrence was nearly
forgotton, when poor Lurry, who never cith
ci ami" ?>i wiiikcu aiicr ins inoinei\s death,
soon refused food, and took to his bed; and
the .artist brother was often occupied in
sketching his head, with huge wings at the
back, a sort of presentiment of bis death
appeared to occupy the mind of this young
man, for, wlnn not drawing, he wou'd sit
opposite La ry, now worn to a skeleton, and
hum some the wild ballads they used to sing
together. Many of the poor neighbors, with
the characteristic humanity of their country,
used to visit and attend to the comfort of the
poor Rtone-mason, who was every whore a
favorite; at last lie was given over, and tinparish
priest paid him a visit. *You'r not
goin' to take me from my mother?' said
j Larry, feebly. ''Take ye from your mother! i
I Old no! my poor fellow. No! you are going
to her, I hope.' '1 know I lhi/ renli'V the'
natural, if you let me alone; but you put her j
in holy ground, where you would not put the
fool! And the fool knew that, and stole his
mother away, and put her under the old
beech tree in the hollow, where she is now,
and where Jemmy 'ill put his poor brother
Larry '* It was all true: the remains oi the
widow Jacob had been stolen away by her
affection ale son who labored under the impression
that, because he was a fool, they
would not bury him in consecrated ground.
This trait of filial affection is something like
the one recorded by Mr. Graitan.
Junius.?it is said that sir David Brewster
has discovered that a Scotchman, by
the name of Lachlin Maclean, once an
apothicary in Philadelphia, was the writer
of the letters of Junius. His claims to be
considered the 4<great unknown" are supported
by two writers in the National Intel11

x^vi.vvi vync tn mem says
Having occasion to refer to the original
indictments in one of the interior courts of
Pennsylvania, during the period of Governor
Hamilton's administration, of winch the
writer had charge, Ins attention was forcibly
drawn to the peculiar character of the
writing, ami especially as being a manuscript
which seemed familiar. After several
days effort to call to mind, where and when
he had seen it, it occurred to him that it
resembled the fuc similes given in Woodfall's
( dition of the letters of Junius. rl'he
book was procured, and a close and minute
comparison instituted, as well by the writer ,
as well as several others qualified by habit
to judge, which resulted in a conviction
that, so far as such evidence is entitled to!
weigh hi establishing the author, nothing j
ran ho more conclusive. In its general;
character, (and there arc many specimens.)
and in nil the marks and characteristics
winch distinguish the fac similics, the resemblance
is wonderfully perfect. Who the
writer was could not be ascertained, but it ,
is presumed to have been some one connec- i
led with the family of Mr. i'h w, who is
believed to have been the attorney general
at that time.
He was a powerful writer; was under
secretary of state to lord Shelburne; was
appointed, about 1712. col Sector of the

Point of honor with a Bkar.?While
3ii this theme we will add another anecdote j
af an adventure with a grizzly hear, t*>1 d of
lohn Day* the Kentucky hunter, hut which j
happened at a d flbreut pet iod of the expo-'
ililioti. Day was hunting in company with
anc of the clerks of the company, a lively ]
youngster,, w ho was a ureal favorite with |
the veteran, hut whose vivacity he had I
continually to keep in check They were
in search of deer, when suddely a huge
grizzly bear emerged from a th eket, about
thirty yards distant, rearing himself upon
[lis hind legs wit'i a terriliic growl, and
displaying his hidious array of teeth and
claws The rille of the y ting man was
levelled in a instant ; l>ut John Day's iron
hand was quickly up n his arm. 44 Be
quiet, hoy! be quie '."exclaimed the hunter,
between his clenrlied teeth, and without
turning his eyes from tho bear. Tncy reinained
motionless. The monster regarded
tlnm for a time, then lowering himself
upon his fore-paws, slowly withdrew, lie
It a i not gone many paces before he again
turned, reared hiuiMvf upon ins hind legs,
and repeated the menace.
Dty's arm was still on the arm of his
young companion, he again pressed it hard
a d kept repeating hi twee.I his teeth,
"Q,uiet, hoy !?k. ep quiet !?keep quiet !"
though the latter had not made a move since
th first prohibition. The hear again 1 wrred
himself ?.ii all-f urs, retreated some
twenty yards further, and again turned round,
reared and showed his teeth and growled.
This third menace was too much for the
game spirit of John Day. "By Jove?"
exclaimed he, 4,I can stand this no longer;"

nun in mi iiisi.iui i 11.111 irnin his rilie wmzzeed
into the foe. The uoui.d was not
mortal; but luckily, it dismayed instead of
enraging the animal, and he retreated into
the thicket. Day's young companion re
proached him for not practicing the caution
which he enjoined upon others. "Why,
boy," replied the veteran, "caution is caution,
but one must not put up with too much
even Irom a bear. Would you have me
suffer myself to be bullied all day by a
varmint.
A COUNTY WITHOUT A LAWYER.
Warren county, Illinois, containing a population
of 7,000. with three or four thriving
towns, and twelve or fifteen more staked out
and in market, has not a lawyer in it. It is not
because the profession are ignorant of the fact;
for attorneys are always among the first dis
coverers of western towns, and especially
county seats; l>ut from the aim ?st total ahscncc
of litigation. -'Two or three lawyers
have tried to live here," said our informant,
hut they had to clear out.?Pcorai Register.

PATENT COTTON OIN.
7R^IIIS Clin can be made double, or single. If
? made double, they reduce labor, and gin just
double, the quantity of cotton over the single cylinder
Grin, no other ktid having been in use previous
j to this patent; and whether single or double, they
are found to improve the quality of the cotton, by
more pertectly cleaning it. They can be made to
contain from !?0 to 1G0 saws in a stand, and whether
small or large, one hand will be sufficient to attend
them. The Gins have mechanical feeders and
hoppers attached to them, which free the cotton
lrom leaves, trash, dirt, &c. before it can reach the
saws, and by the thorough hackling operation it
receives from the feeders, which make two revo|
lutions to one of the saws, it is almost in a hall
I gincd slate, before it descends to the saw. By a I
. very simple arrangement of a screw to each set of *
> guates, on which the hoppers rest, a-'d through
which the teeth of the feeders pass, they can be
made to leed slow or last to suit the condition of
the cotton at the time. When made double, the ^
saws are placed on two sets of cylinders and turn 1
upon each other in opposite directions, und are ?
[ eieansed by two sets ol brushes that have fourrevo- i
lutions to one of twe saw. The two cylinders can
be detached so as to enable the planter to run one *
I or both at pleasure, although embraced with feeders, .
J ?X:c. in one stand. The whole is put in operation *
! with a drum and hand, as in the ordinary Grin, and v
I may be propelled by horse, steam, or water power,
i It may also be propelled by iron running gear,
j The lorce required to work it, is about the same as J
i that necessary to move an equal number of saws in 1
the common Gin. This Gin has been put in I
operation in New Orleans for two or three weeks, *
and its success tested in the presence of a large '
number of planters, merchants and others, and v
received their general approbation

It is desirable, when planters give orders for Gins, ,
they should accompany thern with their views in
regard to the arrangement of saws, breasts, brushes,
?&c. It is found they differ in opinion Some
desire saws of larger diameter than o hers. The
most common size is 9 or 19 inches ; but some wish
them 12 inches. Some wish 5 or (i rows of brushes

at most. Some wish saws with H or 9 teeth to the

discrepancy, we prefer they should, at the timeol ,
giving orders, lurnish a statement of their wishes,
and tlie inanufacturerers can fulfil them in every
particular. Where it is left to our discretion, we
shall make the in on the most modern and approved
I plan. An order can lie executed, from the time it
is received, in the space of eight or nine weeks, '
and the Gin in that tune pi teed in the hands of the

ought to he in the hand* of the manufacturers by
