From their clear coral beds in the bosom of ocean, The sea nymphs' were summoned by mandate divine, With Neptune who rules it in peace and commotion, To voyage awhile o'er the fathomless brine. their bearing, fnieirpaththewidewiIdwave,theircourwratbewind, Like the moon o'er her sea of blue on ward careering, No trace did they leave of their footsteps behind. U. melody soft o'er the waters came stealing-- The breeze with the sound of the harp on its wing; TKo,r mnrfered if notes such devotion revealing tfrom the air, or the earth, or the ocean conld spring. ; T was from a lone spot by the waters surrounded, A witching, enriching, calm, soft, balmy isle ; No more o'er the fathomless billow they bounded, liut Iing'ring, mixt 'mong its children awhile. Soft and fair were iU daughters, with witchery weav ing A spell round the soul, to forbid it to roam ; Their bosoms of snow with emotion soft heaving, Like the breast of the gull on its pillow of foam. And iweet was their smuY-O ! a something was in it, WW etn1 nW thr rinrtl like to music's soft swell J That none but the brave and the free e'er would win it, A glance from their eye3 in a moment couia tcu. While mingling regrets with its children lamenting. At parting eachnymph wish'd they ever might smile, Tnbeauty unrivali'd, and Neptune, consenting, iv'd his trident, and called it tne cmeram isic Extract from Peter Simple or the Trials of a Midshipman. " First and foremost vou must know that I am descended from the great O'Brien Borru who was a king in his time, as the great Fin ral was before him. Of course vou've heard ofFingal?" fl " I can't say that I ever did," I replied. "Never heard of Fineral? murder Where imist vou have been all your life? Well, then 10 civo you some notion ofFingal, I will tel you how, Fingal bothered the great Scotch giant. F ingal you must know was a giant himself, and no fool of a one : and any one that affronted him was sure of a bating, as I am in lcpn thp. middle watch to niffht. But there was a giant in Scotland as tall as the mainmast, more or less, as wc say when we an't quite sure; as it saves telling more lies than there's occasion for. Well, this Scotch giant heard ofFingal, and how he had beaten every body ; and he said, "who is this Fingal? I'd just walk over and see what he's made of." So he walked across the Irish channel, and landed within half a mile of Belfast ; whether he was out of his depth or not, I can't tell though I suspect he was not dry footed. When Fingal heard that this great chap was coming over, he Was in a fright; for they told him that the Scotchman was taller by a few feet or so. Giants, you know measure by feet, and don't " bother themselves about the inches as we little levils are obliged to do. So Fingal kept a sharp look out for the Scotchman; and one fine morning there ho was sure enough, coming up the hill tingal s house. 11 tingal was a fraid before, he had more reason to be afraid .when he - saw the follow; for he looked for all tne world like a monument on a voyage of dis covery. So Fingal ran into the house, and called his wife Shaa "Ma vournen," says he, be quick now; thejre's that big bully of a Scotchman coming up the hill. Kiver me up with blankets, and if he asks who is in bed, tell him it's the child." So Fingal laid down on the bed, and his wife had just time to cover him tip, when in comes the Scotchman: and al though he stooped low he broke his head a rgainst the portal. "Where's that baste Fin gal ?" savs he rubbing his forehead ; "show him tome that' I may give him a bating." "Wbi-f, whist!" cries" Shaya, " if you don't you'll, Wake the baby; and then him that you talk of bating will be the death of you if he comes in." "Is that the baby!" cried the Scotchman with surprise, looking at the great carcase muffled up in the blankets "Sure it is," c ried Shays, " and Fingal's baby too; so don't you wakehim or Fingal will twist your neck in a minute." "By the cross of St. An drew," replied the giant, "then it is time for me to be off, for if that's his baby, I'll be a mouthful for the fellow himself. Good morning toje." So the Scotch giant ran out of the house; and never stopped to eat or drink un til he got back to his own hills ; for he was nearly drowned in haying mistaken his passage across the Channel, in his great hurry. Then Fingal got up and laughed, as well he inight, at his own "cuteness ;" and so ends the s;ory about Fingal." An interesting Ships company. The Provi dence Journal relates the following anecdote: Some dozen or fourteen years ago, abrir arrived at Liverpool from Boston. The Cap tain went to the Custom House with his pa pers, to enter his vessel. From these papers the Collector ascertained that her name was theMary Scudder; that she was owned and freighted by Messrs. Horace Scudder &. Co. of Boston, and consigned to Silas B. Scudder, supercargo on board ;that her crew consisted of Isaiah Scudder, Master, George W. Scudder, iirst mate, Enoch Scudder. second mate, Zerubbabel Scudder,; Jonathan Scudder, Samu el Scudder, Josiah Scudder, Ezza Scudder, sea men, Hannibal Scudder, Caio Scudder, stew- and, Iiaiah Scudder, Jr., boy, Mrs. Elizabeth Scudder, and two little infant Scudders, pas sengers" For mercy's sake," exclaimed the as tonished Collector, throwing down his pen, 4 are there any more Scudders left in New Eng land r have you brought them all with you?"

The following extract from a speech delivered by a Choctaw chief, throws Nimrod Wildhre in the back ground, and perhaps can nnd no equal the speeches of the Southern Nullihers,"neverthe less, always excepted." "Tell me not of blood I was" born a war nor. l was not Dorn as omer men are, 01 a woman I was never nourished by the breast, or cnensnea oy tne anection 01 a mother a cloud arose in the west, and from that cloud there came a stream of lightning, which struck and shattered to its root a huire nine and thence sprang Tushma la ha, with rifle, gun, scalping knife, and tomakawk, ready for war.

Tushma la ha fears hot blood he de lights in it." Dancing Pigs. We give the following ex traordinary account from The Bath Journal ; no asking for it, on the part of our readers any por tion of credit beyond what they are themselves disposed to award itr "The following circum stances I believe few will credit, but I never theless boldly state it a fact, and refer those who doubt it to the place where this wonderfu singularity of nature now exists, and where they will find persons possessed of rationa faculties ready to corroborate this statement. sewof Mr. Abraham Wintel, ofStourhead farm near the seat of Sir Richard Colt Heare, reared eleven pigs about a month since, all which, ever since their birth, have, unless while asleep, been dancing; they possess all the regularity one wo'Id naturally expect from rational faculties : they all couple off so as to form a regular dance while the old one appears to be beating time The people of the village attribute it to the circumstance of a band of musicians, who, at the latter period of the Christmas holidays, per formed at the door of the dwelling-house where this sow was confined in its stye; anr that she was so frightened at, or so enamoured with the music, as to produce this singular pro pensity in her young." During the late assizes at Lancaster, a man who appeared to have got his " beer on board," was staggering along Market-street, when a friend accosted him with "Well, neighbour, how far are you going now?" "Only to Skir ton," replied the jolly fellow. "Why that is rather a long way for yon," said his friend. "Oh, dang it," replied our hero, hiccuping, "I don't mind the length; its the breadth that bothers me!" When Milton was blind, he married a shrew, The Duke of Buckingham called her a rose. T om rr iitrlrrA rf rtnra " po r1 cA T!ltrn and it may be so for I feel the thorns daily." There were two very fat Noblemen at the Court of Louis XV. the Duke de L and the Duke de N. They were both one day at the Levee, when the King began to rally the for mer on his corpulence. "You take no exer cise, I suppose," said the King. " Pardon me Sire," said de L. ' I walk twice a day round my cousin de N." Voiture having satirized a nobleman who was powerful at Court, the latter sought every oc casion to revenge himself, and challenged Voi- iurc to ngni mm witn sworas. "We are not equals," replied Voiture, You are very great, I am little ; you are brave, I am a cow ard ; vou wish to kill me, eh bien. I will consider myself as dead" this made the great man laugn, anu uisarmea nis anger. Antoine Godcau used to say, that an author's paradise was to compose, his purgatory to re-read and retouch his compositions; but his hell was to correct the proofs for the printer X " No man," said a wealthy but weak-headed Barrister, should be admitted to the Bar who has not an independentlandedjproperty.' May lask, Sir," said Mr. Curran, "how many acres make a wise acre?" A.n idle lounger meeting with his friend, a barrister, toiling down to the Courts the latter addressed him, savmer, 44 Ah, my friend, vou are happy; you have no term." 44;Alas! yes," answered the lounger, 44 but then I have no vacation." The following is on a violin-maker's sign board at Limerick: "New villians maderibs and old ones rippard, also new heads, ribs, backs, and bellys mad on the shertest notice. N. B.

I never go home till the morning, when all the rogues are gone to bed." A bright sunny day, is like a beautiful, in tellectual woman they both spread a sweet delight over the whole avenues of thought and existence. A very wise man sometimes is not far from being a fool, as a fool is sometimes a wonder in wisdom. True wisdom, like true modesty or true beauty, never makes a great noise in the vulgar world.'

John Bvl1.p 4 - i The Cheapest Work ever offered to the fublick, Charles Alexander & Levis A. Godey, under tne firm or u. Alexander. Co. COMMENCED ON THE 28TH OP JANUARY 1833. A SEMI MONTHLY PUBLICATION, CALLED MO branch of the lighter literature of the present age offers a wider field, or great er variety for selection, than those works fa miliarly known as Romances and Novels. The unbounded encouragement which these have rprpipd in., rnnnvnftliA most mfted received, nave inaucea many 01 me niosi gmcu writers lo engage in their composition, and they have, in consequence, attained a degree of merit and excellence which, with a few splendid excepuons, were, until tne present . . . i century, entirely unknown. Amongst the great mass ot JMovels which are constantly in course oi puoucaiion, mere are . .. . ti? 4? a of course some which are jvery superior to the others. To select these and present them to the reading community in! a neat, popular, and convenniet form, with greater expedition, and at less cost than they can; be furnished by the booksellers, is the principal object of the pro posed publication; an object which the publish ers are satisfied they can accomplish more easi ly than any other persons, on account of the extraordinary facilities which they enjoy. Besides a constant and direct intercourse with the London publishers, through which they are enabled to receive the latest British Novels, as soon as they can be transmitted to this country, they are connected with the most extensive printing establishment in Philadel phia, and can re-print in! the shortest period any work they may choose to undertake. If, for example, they should wish to furnish as part of their regular series, any new English Novel, they can do so at as early a date as any Ameri can bookseller, so that distant subscribers may receive it simultaneously! with the bookseller's republication in the larger cities, and at but a trifling expense of postage. In selecting works fbrithis publication, none will be taken but those which convey both gra tification and instruction; and especially such as have the charm of freshness and interest. If these objects cannot be accomplished from the abundant supply of the modern pressure course may be had to those sterling produc tions ofla former age, which, being almost en tirely out of print are comparatively but little known, :and, in some cases would be found more attractive than most of those which are of more recent origin, f .a As the Novelist's Mazagine, though intended expressly for preservation, will be furnished to subscribers in pamphlet form, it will be con veyed by mail to the most distant places, and at a very moderate expense of postage. It will furnish a large amount lot agreeable, useluJ, and improving reading, for less than one fifth of the price at which the same might be otherwise obtained, and with little or no trouble to the subscriber. To families resident in the coun try, remote trom the Atlantic towns, this pub lication will be particularly serviceable, as sup plying their literary wants in the best method that couiu be aevisea. .1. Ill I ' .Ji Determined to use every available means of making the Novelist's Magazine interesting and valuable to subscribers, and for the pur- voseof giving" encouragement to AMERICAN WRITERS to stimulate their exertions, the publishers propose a premium of O 500? the author of BjBST novel, Upon a National Subject, which shall be pre sented on or before the 1st of October, 1833. This premium will be awarded by a Com mittee, to be chosen for the purpose, and it is presumed the successful competitor will pos sess unusual merit, th publishers of the Novel ist's Magazine, besides using it for that work, engage to have it printed in handsome book form, corresponding to the BEST LONDON EDITIONS of popular novels. For every thousand copies of the work thus printed, which may be sold, the author shall receive, in addition to the Five Hundred Dollars, FIFTY DOLLARS, or five dollars for every hundred. ITf-Those novels presented for the premium which shall prove unsuccesstul, will be return- ed to their respective authors, the publishers claiming no control over any but that to which Ko vArdpd. the prize may be awarded. All writings intended as competitors for this premium, must be conveyed free of postage, to he addressed to the publishers, prior to the 1st of October, 1833. j The Novelist's Magazine will be published in semi -monthly numbers each number con tdLimng forty-eight extra imperial octavo pages, with double columns, arranged after the man ner of the LADY'Si BOOK; to wnich work, though it will be considerably larger, it will bear a general external resemblance. The Ma gazine will make two volumes annually of more than six hundred pages each, and at the expi ration of every six! months, or thirteen num bers, subscribers will be furnished with a hand some title page andj table of contents. The whole amount of thej matter furnished in a sin gle year, will be equal to more than fifty vo lumes of the common sized English duodecimo books. The paper upon which the Magazine will be printed, will be of the finest quality used for book work, and bf a size elegantly adapted for binding. As the type will be entirely new, and of a neat appearance, each volume, when bound, will furnish a handsome as well as val uable addition to the libraries of those who patronize the work The price of the NOVELIST'S MAGAZINE will be Five Dollars per annum, payable in ad- .i 1 : . .1 : ; i . vancc. as tne puDusuers imeuu issuing a lim ited number of impressions, persons wishing to subscribe are requested to do so without de lav.
