ILLS OF IDLENESS,
And plagues which pursue the Pupils of
Pleasure.
What pains anil penalties nttcnil
The wight whoe beings aim and end
Is wholly self-enjoyment!
His easy chair becomes a rack,
And all Pandoras plagues attack
The wretch who wants employment.
To shun the exciuisite distress
Which ever wait on idleness,
He 'flies to dissipation;
Drinks deep to keep his spirits tip,
And in the inebriating cup
Drowns health and reputation.
And now in fashion's vortex whirPd,
A dandy of the genteel world,
He figures in the ton;
The wise man laughs, the simple stare
To see the consequential air
The silly rake puts on.
Now drives his curricle about
To club, assembly, ball and rout,
To waste his time and treasure,
ives sensual appetite the reins,
And takes illimitable pains
To seem a man of pleasure.
The course of life such fools pursue
Would worry down the wand'ring Jew,
Worse off than galley slaves!
And ten to one, about the time
The man of virtue's in his prime,
Such sots are, in their graves.
15ut if their days are lengthened out,
Uy dint of constitution stout,
In apathy and pain;
A ruby and carbuncled face
Displays the signals of disgrace,
Like mark, first set on Cain.
Now dire paralysis and gout
Parade their forces round about
The citadel of life;
In vain the Doctor tries his skill;
His obstinate opponents still
Are victors in the strife.
Disease, remorse with joint attack,
Now put at once upon the rack
Their bodies and their souls;
The wretched victims suffer more
Than Montezuma did of yore
When strelch'd on burning coals.
New York.Tho Legislature of the
State of New York met on the 7th inst.
Governor Marcy's message, which gives
a flattering account of the affairs of the
State, embraces, among others, the fol
lowing particulars: "The Slate Prisons
more than support themselves, and the
number of convicts is decreasing. The
Public Schools enibrnce more than half
a million of scholars. The Canal re
ceipts exceed largely those of former
years; and the Canal fund, after buying
up a million and a half of the Slock at a
high premium, will, in two years, be
equal to the whole of the outstanding
debt. Flattering as is this perspective,
in regard to new routes of internal im
provement the Governor advises a cau
tious course. So too, in respect of the
numerous applications for new Banks, he
warns against the perils of excess."
Painful Death. A few days since, a
Mr. Rumberger, residing at Lynkiti's
Valley, Pa. was bitten in the heel by a
snake, and iu his fright ran a considera
ble distance with the snake hanging to
his heel, till in fording a small stream,
the reptile disengaged itself and esca
ped. The unfortunate man immediately
swelled, and after a few hours of intense
agony, terminated his existence.
The bite of a snake is as easily and as
readily cured as the sting of a bee, if ta
ken in a reasonable time, without even
applying to a physician, as every farmer
has a remedy in his own house. Bathing
the part bitten with warm milk, affords
immediate relief. An external applica
tion of hog's lard, with a diet of honey
and milk, will have the same effect, tho
not so speedily. These remedies should
be universally known and remembered,
and resorted to as soon as possible after
the infliction of the wound.
Stabbing in C7mrd,-0n last Sun
day evening, (says the Pittsburg Pa. Ma
nufacturer) a young man was dangerous
ly stabbed with a spear at the Unionist
Church in ihia city, by another ytuag
man, the son of a popular preacher, and
as we hear himself a student of divinity.
The cause of it was as follows: The
preacher's son had been observed for a
few evenings acting very improperly at
the Unionist Church, and on the evening
in nuestion was detected in the act ol
tripping females as they entered and de
parted from the church. He was told of
the impropriety of his conduct, when he
became incensed, went out and borrow
ed a snear cane and returned and in
flicted a dangerous wound on the side of
the young man who had chid liun for
misbehaviour.
Casualty. Robert Glenn, a lad about
12 years of age, who was the mail carri
er on the Clover Garden route, was drow
ned on Tuesday last in attempting to
cross Haw river, at Wooddey's ferry, a
i)out 15 miles west of this place. A son
of the Hon. John Long, of Randolph,
rode iu the river in company with young
Glenn, but returned to the same side
without any accident. The horse and
mail were saved, Chapel Hill Harb.
07 A Mr. Chase, of Fall River, Mass.
in cutting stone sometime since, had a
piece of steel fly in his eye, which struck
in the ball, and could not be removed,
except by having his eye dug out. He
was about to submit to this horrid opera
tion, when his physician made use of a
strong magnet with complete success.
Curious. The New York Evening
Star says: A strange circumstance has
been related to us. An intelligent liltlr
girl of this city, about 12 years of age,
was shown a song of some three or four
verses, u night or two ago, with whirh
she was much pleased, and on getting up
the morning following she told her moth-'
er that she had learned the song while a
elcep, by repeating i all night to her un
do, of whom she had been dreaming.
The idea was laughed at, but the asser
tion of the child proved true, for on usk
ing her to repeat the lines she did so
without the least effort.
CTThc celebrated mathematician Ho
ene Wronski, has lately discovered a
new system of engines, applicable to car
riages on common roads, and all other
locomotive instruments, such as ploughs,
implements of war, &c. so vastly superi
or to any thing before known, that a
French company is said to have bought
the patent ot inm tor 4,UUU,000 francs.
Another Invention. An article called
the Patent India Rubber Floating Mat
tress, invented by J. D. Elliott. It is ca
sed with India Rubber water proof cloth,
and filled iu part with cork shavings. It
is said to be soft, clastic and comfortable
to sleep on, and will not imbibe or retain
infection or dampness. It will be a
grand article at sea or on rivers, as it is
sufficiently buoyant to support two per
sons, and will keep six from sinking in
the water by laying hold upon it. Com
modore Elliott, of the Navy Yard, Bos
ton, recommends them highly as beds
and as life preservers. N. IL Spec,
Sudden Death. As a Mr. Asa Sar
gent, of Bradford, was trading in the
store of Messrs. Cheney, iu Warner, on
the morning of Friday, the 20th instant,
he fell upon the floor and immediately
expired. He had made no complaint of
niiivst, unu was transacting business at
the moment when he fell. The usual
means were resorted to for his recovery,
but the vital spark had fled. He had
been married but about four months;
and the anguish of his wife upon arriving
at the spot cannot be easily described3.
His age was about 2G. i&.
OCT A country editor, under the caption
of Lusus Naturae, mentions a calf born
in his villuge, without any head, but pro
vided with cars. This is the most re
markable calf that we have heard of for
some time; but where the deuce arc the
ears placed! Nothing like it has hap
pened since the case of the Weathers
field Witch, that used to rmr. about the
streets without any hcid with eves as
