VESPER OF PETRARCH.
"I bless the happy moment, says Petrarch, that
directed my heart to Laura. She led roe to see the
path of virtue, to detach my heart from base and gro
velling objects: from her I am inspired with that
celestial flame which raises my soul to Heaven, and
rltrects it to the Supreme Cause, as the only source
?f happiness.1"
Mrs. Dobson's Life of Petrarch, vol. i. p. 87.
!Yo ! let my wreath be entwined and hid,
iMll around my brow in Heaven it glows,
Where, the living lily respires amid
The bower of the bright immortal rose
And wave the leaves of the Paradise tree
In the silver winds of Eternity !
I will not seek for an earthly wreath,
To entwine my brow with its fading light ;
There is nought that shines, in this world beneath,
With a smile that lasts in the death-wind's blight:
Then be mine a wreath from the blissful tree,
vcr which the zephyrs of Eden flee!
Vef, oh pardon, Heaven! if one pure flower
I would bind and braid in the wreath divine
Tf the fairest rose in an earthly bower
I would make, in the Land of the Tearless, mine:
Alas! without it there scarce would be
A charm in the garland of life for me !
THIS IS LOVE.
To sigh for hours at Beauty's feet,
To start when rival steps draw near,
With ardent warmth her glance to meet,
And pcur soft flatteries in her ear ;
To kneel, till won by fairer forms
And brighter eyes, and then forsake, f '
nd while new hope, new fancy waring
. To leave her trusting heart to break:
:nLr ; i . 1-1
i nis passion nauius our eanniy span,
This is the wavering love of Man !
To seek one form in early youth;

BEAUTY.
What is1eauty ? alas! 'tis a jewel a glass
A bubble a plaything a rose
Tis the snow, dew, or air 'tis so many things rare,
That 'tisjnothing one well may suppose.
' Ti a jewel, Love's tpken glass, easily broUea
A bubble that vanisheth soon ;
plaything that boys cast aside when it cloys;
A rose quickly faded and strewn.
Like the air it is felt like snow it will melt,
It refreshed! the heart like the dew ;
And as nothing can vie with a brilliant blue eye,
'Tis like nothing, sweet lady but you.

MAN AND WOMAN.
Man is the rugged, lofty pine,
That frowns on many a wave-beat shore :
Woman's the slender, graceful vine,
Whose curling tendrils round it twine,
And deck its rough bark sweetly o'er.
Man is the rock whose towering crest
Nods o'er the mountain' barren side ;
Woman the soft and mossy vest,
That loves to clasp its sterile breast,
And wreath its brown in verdant soil.
Man is the cloud of coming storm,
Dark as the raven's murky plume,
.Save where the sun-beam, light and warm,
Of woman's soul and woman's form,
Gleams brightly o'er the gathering gloom.
'c3, lovely sex, to you 'tis given
To rule our hearts with angel sway,
tTClend with each woe a blissful leaven,
Change earth into an embryo heaven,
And swee'iy smile our cares away.
ECCENTRICITIES OF GENIUS.
It was the custom of Sterne to be very fasti
dious about his dress when he wished to go on
with any of his literary performances, which
though apparently so easy, were the result of
labor and care; when he was ill-dresed, he
aound that his thoughts were slovenly and ill
arranged. Haydn also used to dress himself
with particular care before he satdown to com
pose ; unless his hair was properly powdered and
he had his best coat on, he could not command
iiis ideas ; he even used to say that if he began
to write without his diamond ring on his finger,
(the gift of the Emperor Frederick) he could
not get on ; and he never could write music on
any tiling but the finestpaper. It is related of
Gluck that he composed in a meadow, having
his piano transported thither, and a bottle of
I'hainpaigne at his elbow. Sarti preferred the
mysterious gloom of a large apartment, feebly
lighted by a single lamp; and Cimarosi com
posed many parts ofhis lively opera of the Mat
rinionia Segreto, as well as some others of his
Works, in the midst of noisy parties. Paeseillo
composed, as Brindly the engineer meditated a
)Out canals, in bed; and Sacchini was not in-
ri'mrcu unless ins lavorue cats were suung on
his shoulders. Lord Bacon is said to have de
iiffhted to sooth his mind with beautiful flowers
around him, and sweet music playing in an ad
joining room. It is related of the celebrated
Air. Dunning that whenever he wished to shine
m SDcechor in society, he used to put on
Mister. Curran used to prepare for exertion in
a great cause, bv playing wild and extempo
raneous airs on the violincello. It is said that
fQinposition ofhis eloquent sermonsso excited
the mind of the celebrated Bourdaloue that he
would have been unable to deliver them, but for
ft means he discovered of allaying the excite
ment. His attendants were one day both scan
dalized and alarmed on proceeding to his apart-
Vi Purposc of accompanying him to
vavueurai, toy hearing the sound of a fiddle,
playing a very lively tune. After their first
. ruauon, theyjrpmured to look through
I Ln-o ; an? Was sUli morc locked to
- behold the great du ine dancing about without
his gown and canonicals, to his own inspiring
music ;-of course they concluded him to be
mad. But when they knocked, the music
ceased, and after a short and anxious interval
Jlemet them with a composed dress and man
ner; and observing some signs ofastonishment
i A the party, explained to them that without his

A Rough Dentist. I was much amused the last
morning watch that I kept. We were stowing the
hammocks in the quarter deck nettings, when one of
the boys came up with his hammock oh his shoulder,
and as he passed, the first lieutenant perceived that
he had a quid of tobacco in his cheek.- " What have
you got there my good lad, a gum boil ? your cheek
is very much swelled." " No Sir," replied the boy,
" there's nothing at all the matter." Oh there must
bo; it is a bad tooth then. Open your mouth and let
me see." Very -reluctantly the boy opened his
mouth, and discovered a large roll of tobacco leaf.
I see, I sec," said the first lieutenant, " your mouth
wants overhawling and your teeth cleansing. I wish
we had a dentist on bord, but as we have not, I will
operate aa well as Ican.Send the armourer up here
with his tongs." When the armourer made his ap
pearance, the boy was made to open his mouth while
the chaw of tobacco was extracted with his rough
instrument. "There, now," said the first lieuten
ant. " I'm sure you must feel bettter already ; you
never could have had an appetite. Now, captain of
the afterguard, bring a piece of old canvass and
some sand here, and clean his teeth nicely." The
captain of the afterguard came forward, and putting
the boys head between his knees scrubbed his teeth
well with the sand and canvass two or three minutes.
"There,. that will do," said the first lieutenant.
"Now my little fellow, your mouth is nice and clean
and you'll enjoy your breakfast. It was impossible
for you to have eaten any thing, with vour mouth in
such a nasty state.---When it's dirty again, come to
me and I'll be your Dentist."Peter Simple in the
Metropolitan.
Cold Weather. The cold weather which has
been experienced thus far in New England, is attri
buted to immense bodies of ice from the arctic regions
floating in the vicinity of the Gulf of St. Lawrence
and in the Atlantic ocean, off the coast of Newfound
land and Labrador. ; Tjje north and east winds have
been peculiarly cold and shilling up to a recent period,
and it is evident some unusual causes have operated
to suspend the natural warmth of the season. Im
mense icebergs have been seen by ships floating m
the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and some disastrous ca
lamities have occurred among them. Ice bergs of any
considerable dimensions, are rarely met with so far
south as Newfoundland at this advanced season of
the year.
Died, At Frank Island, q Cholera, on the 18th
of June, Captain John Newman, Keeper of the
Light House at the North East Pass of the river
Mississippi, aged about 57 years, a native of Newbern
(N. C. Captain Newman's daring exploits with the
enemy during the last war, are conspicuous and fa
miliar to many. The precarious visitation and al
arming extent of the dreadful cholera, is peculiarly
exemplified in the above case. Ut six persons, atten
dants of the N. E. Light, consisting of Capt. New-!
man, his four slaves, and a hired white man, three
died of cholera during the afternoon of the 18th, spa
ring three slaves only out ot six persons.
Philadelphia Gazette.
Important if True. The London correspondent
of the Albany Advertiser, writes in a late letter, that
the chairman of the Great Birmingham meeting,
held a short time since, has refused, when called up
on to pay the assessed taxes, and rather than do
60, has allowed his goods to be distrained. This is
indeed acting up to one's declaration, and it is yet im
possible to say where this example may terminate.
If the principal inhabitants of the great towns were
to act thus, they would thereby "embarrass" the
government more effectually than even their own
acts have done, and that is saying a great deal.
It is said that Talleyrand fears the accession of
Joseph Bonaparte to the throne of France in less
than twelve months. 1 he people would be benefited
by the change. If Jos. Bonaparte is not a republican
at heart, he ought to be. Philad. Inq.
A Handsome Premium. The Board of the Ame
rican Peace Society, offer a premium of one thousand
dollars to the author of the best essay on a Congress
or Court of nations, for the amicable settlement of na
tional differences & the abolition of War. Should two
essays be of equal or nearly equal merit, the premium
will be divided in correspondent proportions between
them, if both are esteemed worthy of the prize. The
conditions are, that the essay contain from 60 to 150
octavo pages, or about these limits; all the manuscripts
to be at the disposal of the Society, both the successful
and rejected essays. ! The essays to be transmitted
free of expense, to the office of the Peace Society, 128
Nassau street, New York, directed to L. D. Dewey,
before June 20, 1834;
Bark. We understand (says the Philadelphia U.
States Gazette) that such is the scarcity of the best
kind of bark used by tanners, the kind usually de
nominated Spanish Oak wHl readily command from
$20 to $21 a cord. I The scarcity of the article has
interrupted the regular business of several tanners.
Brotherly Love. Don Miguel lately visited his
army at Oporto, and at one time, in riding along the
ines was visible to his dear brother, Don Pedro the
wo worthies, accounts state, simultaneously fixedtiieir
respective telescopes 10 meir eyes ana viewea eacn
other, "like two strange cats in a garret." On Pedro's
putting down his glass, he remarked to Sir John Mil
ley Doyle " I see. no alteration in the scamp;" and
we have heard froffi Head Quarters that, by " a curi
ous coincidence," so closely did their fraternal know
ledge and feelings assimilate, that Mig. on finishing
his examination of his brother's mug, exclaimed, "He
has the same scheming vagabond countenance he al
ways had." English paper.
