A writer in tfia Boston Atta has written a ee. riee of very interesting " Sketches of Popular Person and Placet," which are worthy of inser tion io every paper in the country. One of hia laat papers in devoted to the sketching of an in terview with Mr. Hemans, and notwithstanding ita length, we make room for it with pleasure, believing that it will amply repay a perusal, ea peoially by our fair reader. The sketches are drawn by no common hand, as any one will be satisfied who has ever seen the whole of them. They are worth all the love stories ever published. I had no intention of devoting this number of my series of Sketches to Lady writers, but, as I - .i . . . i I. .... ,..,. .ntnA tmtrravinara. was I II II morning iui'kiujj " at the house of a literary friend, a portrait Mrs. Hemans attracted my attention, and vividly re called the " bright original" to my memory. The picture was very beautiful, and bore a strong re semblance to the Poetess ; bat compared with the living face, 'it was only as the richly sculp tured 'vase, unilluminated from within. And it would have been difficult, if not utterly impossi blp, for mortal pencil to have caught and trans ferred to canvass the mild beauty of the Poetess. fn theaummerof eighteen hundred and thirty, I was ataying for a abort time in Liverpool the citv of the Rwc(Ms. as it ha been called bv war of.bon.prrrrni4.1i(JMd.termincd.1.f possible, to see Mrs. Hemans, who then lived in the neiyh borhobd, I made inquiries in Various quarters.in order to find nut the best way of procuring an in terview, without being intrusive. I learned that Mrs. Hemans yisitr-d ihe cjty hut seldom ; but a friend, who knew Dr. 'Lingn'rd', the historian, in sinualed that throojrh lhat gentleman he might possibly be enabled to procure for me a letter of introduction. I was told flint as Mrs. Medians occasionally nltendcd the chapel where Dr. Raf fle preached. I might chance to mem her there but how whs I to pick out the Poetess from huh dredsof ladies pointed in pews ! I determined on accepting rhe ofTbr of my friend's endeavor to en list Dr. Liiijrnrd in my favor. I was introduced to the Doctor a few days af terwards at the A'henicum Reading llooms I do not know whether his History of England" if much known in this country, but it ranks as a standard work across the Atlantic. The chief objection against it is, that the author is a (toman Catholic. The Dr. is a man of somewhat remar kable appearance, and by no mejins prepossessing in manners. However, he immediately complied with my friend's wishes, and 'obtained iho much desired note to Mrs. Hemans with a hint to me not to deliver it on any morning, as 1 should 'have a better chanceof a prolonged interview if I pre sented myself in the f:er part of the day, the forenoon being generally devoted by the lady to the instruction of her children, aud to literary composition. And now for Mrs. Hemans. At this lime Mrs. Hemans was separated from her husband, and resided at Wavertree, to which place she confined herself, in order that her sons might receive the benefits of tuition in the neigh boring city. A more unsuitable locality, for one of her temperament, could hardly be conceived, for there was nothing of beauty in the neiyhbor hood"to recommend it ; and to one brought up amongst the wild scenery of VVales, it must have been, at all times, dreary indeed. The separa tion, ton, from the father of her children, muni have preyed deeply on her spirit : but she seldom alluded to this subject, although great curiosi' y was excited to know the cause. Captain HmSns lived at Rome, and still corresponded wih his wife, respecting the education of their children. His habits and las tea were entirely different from those of his wif. ami a separation, although not legal one, was mutually agreed upon. Of course, a hundred ?umors were in circulation, end those officious personages, who preferred at tending to other person's affairs, gosippod to their .Start's content, J shall not loiuuv Uieir example. and retau aiiy ol the many stories prevalent on this subject; holding the opinion that if a nni i t;.-ri- .i.-. :r and bis wife choose to live apart, it is .their bus iness, and theirs alone and such subjects should be strictly classed amongst those with which a stranger ahould intermeddle not. It was about four in the afternoon, when the Wavertree stage set me down about a hundred yards from the place of my dcatination. The house in which the poetess resided was one nf a row, or terrace, aa it is called, situated on the high road, from which it was separated on'.yby the foot-way and a little flower garden, surroun ded by a white-thorn hedge. - I noticed, that of all the bouses on either sido of it, hers was the only one adorned with flowers the rest had ei t her grass (awns or a plain gravel surface some f them fven grew cabbage and French beans ! My knock at the door was answered by a ser vant cirl one of the pretty Lancashire witches. by whom 1 was shown into a small parlor, where I remained, "whilst my letter and card were taken t the lady of life house. It was a very small apartment, but every thing about it indicated that it was the home ol genius and taste. Over the mantel shelf hung a fine engraving of William Roscoe, author of the Lives of the De Medici, with a presentation line or two in his own hand writing. The Walls were deco rated with prints and pictures, and on the mantel shelf were soma models, in krra cotla nf Italian groups. On the tables lay casts, medallions, and a portfolio of choice prints and water-color en gravings ; but I was too much excited' to pay much attention to such matters, and so I sat down anxiously ewaHtni-th -entrance of the loeieSi "And never, beture or since, have I felt in such a flutter of excitement. For years and years I had lead her poetry, and imagined nil sorts of things about the authoress, 1 had been told that ahe was beautiful, and readily believed it but I anticipated some disappointment in this respf-ct iu fact, i can scarcely tell how I felt, when 1 heard the rustling of alike, and saw a lady enter the room. Well, I ant disappointed, was the rapid thought that passed through my brain. The lady was in t westing-looking enough but bore no rtvsem bbnee vhstcverto ibe engraved portraits of Mrs. Hemans the.was much younger too, than I un fined Mrs. II. to bate been. And lo put ihe reader out of suspense, it was not the Poetess of the affections but her clone and attached friend, Miss Jewabury, who had been deputed by Mrs. Italians, to make excuses for a few moment's liulsy in receiving me. "Miss Jewsbury was one of the most frank and pen-hcfted creatures possible. She gracefully apologized for acting as Mrs. Hemans' locum ren ens. knd made me feel quite at my ease, I did tKJow;jAM who the lady was bat being aware that Mrs, Hemans had sister who fre quently set her sung le music, I imagined th,t Hair companion tdael be her. I was not un. deceived until after Mrs. Hemans had made her appearance., s a It was iMt long before the Poetess entered the room. ' 81i held out her hand and welcomed me la the kindest manner, and then sat down oppo site iue but, before doing so, introduced Mite Jswsbury. .

If ever noesiea were the re flex of the beauties, personal and mental of their writers, ihey were indeed so in the case of Mrs. Ilem.ms. We talked, of course, a great deal about poets and poetry, and she sked if I had seen Words worth I On my replying that I had not, she said ; "You will be almost as much delighted with the man, as with his works. He istlelightlul I once saw him at St. A'saphs, and he spent half a day with me, r.-citing his own poelrv." We talked of I.. E. L "Mrs Hemans said she had received several letters from her pressing in vitations to visit London. "A place I never was in, and never never wish to be," she observed- Mv heart beats loo loudly, even in this quiet place, and th"ro I think it would burst." The great B.tbcl was not made for such as me." She was very much pleased with tho-tinecdote I told her, with which one of her pooma had some- thing to do. It was this : Near the city nf Bath is a ser.lqjedjittle church yard, in which, amongst other monuments, is one of pure white marble, on which was engraven the name of a nobleman's daughter, and her ege seventeen. In addition to this was ihe following stanza from Mrs. Heuians poem, ' Bhinc Flow ers " 'Bring flowers, pale Rowers, o'er the hier lo shed, A ctown for the brow of the early deau ! For this from Us bud hath the whits roe burst, For this in the wood was Ihn violet nursed : They liavn a voice for what wan onca ours, And are loves last gift Bring ye flowers pale flow ers." The space around that grave was filled with white flowers of all descriptions, planted for the most )i irt by stranger hands. No one ever re moved a bloi-sem Irom the grave, and there they flourished, as if iriNubedience to the mandate of the poetess. It was one of the most graceful tri butes ever p., id to genius. ' Come 1 wilNliow you my poetic mint, she sBid ami led therway to a room over the one in which we were sitting. It was a very small place but Tie it almost to a fault". There were no author titterings. Every ihmg was in order. Au open letter lay on the table. " She pointed to it, and said laughinirly ; " An application for my autograph, and the postage unpaid. You can imagine how I am an noyed with albumt- and such matters. A person who ought to have known better, sent me an Al bum lately, and begged a piece from me, if it was only long enough to fill up a page of sky blue tin ted paper, which he had selected for me to write upon." In incidentally refering to her compositions, she said ; " They often remain chiming in my mind, lor days, before 1 commit them to paper. And sometimes I quite forget many, which I compose ad I lie awake in bed. Composition is less a labor with me than the act of writing down what has impressed me, excepting in the case of blank verse, which always involves something like lab or. My thoughts have been so used to go in har nesj of rhyme, tlnit when they are suffered to run wiMoul it, they are often diffused, or I lose sight, in the ardor of composition, of the leading idea altogether." Mrs. Hemans voice was peculiarly musical, and I would huve given any thing to htve beard her recite some of her ovvb poetry ; but I did not dare to hazxtd such a request, ami feeling that I had intruded quite long enough on her time, I intima ted my attention of taking my departure, when sue neggou me to parmite oi some reiresmneni, .1 i. .... ; .....,u ,1..,, !..... M A. "and with such an evident wish that I should do so, that I did not hesitate to drink a glass of wine and water before I left. I must not omit to mention, for the especial benefit of my fair readers, that Mrs. Hemans' dress was simple enough, She wore a white gown, (I really am not learned enough in such niati- to say whether it was of cotton or muslin) over Aiiirh was thrown a black lace -shawl and on her hed was a cap of very open net-work, without tlowcra or ornament of an kind. Miss JtwsBUKr was well known by her " Lays of Leisure Hours." " She was veiy amiable and accomplished, and felt such an enthusiasm lor the writings of Mrs. Hemans, that, in 1833, she took a cottage near Rhyllon, where the Poetess then resided, for the purpose of associating with her. When I saw herav'Wavertree, she was on a visit to Mrs. Lawretice,.of WaVertree Hall, a not her warm friend and admirer of Mrs. Hemans. It has been stated, with how much truth I know not, that Mrs. Hemans was, at one period of her life, invited to take up her residence in the city of Boston, for the purpose of conducting a peri odical work. Perhaps it was well that she did not accept the offer, for this uncertain and varia ble climate would, in all probabili'y, Have jiut a still earlier stop to her cmcer, and deprived the world of many of her sweetest productions.' As is the rase with the most, if not all of those who write, day after day, for the bread that perisheth, she endured rather than enjoyed life. A heart disease, with all its distressing accompaniments, haraeseiLjier mind, and wore away her frame, which -we are-told, became towards the last, al most etherealized. At the comparatively early sge of forty one, on the eve of the Sabbath her spirit passed away, to enter on the Sabbath of e ternal rest, earth having scarcely " profaned what was horn for tlC skies." When I waa in Dublin, nwing to some unac countable forgetfulneas, I omitted to pay a pass ing tribute to the genius nf the poetess, by visi ting her tomb, which is in St. Ann's Church, Dub lin, and over wliii h ia inscribe! one nf her own beautiful verses her most appropriate epitaph : ' Calm on Iho bosom of thy God, Fair Spirit ! rest thee now ! E'en while with us thy footsteps trod, . Ilia seal was on thy brow. DiMt lo Ihe narrow home beneath .' , Soul to its place on high! They that have seen thy look in -death, Mo more may fear to die." While I was last in Liverpool, waitin; for the sailing of the ship in which 1 came to this coun try. I was sitting one morning idly at the window if the Advlphi, considering huw I should get along through the day. As I sal and pondered, n stage with the name Watertf.b passed by. and recal led to my mind the pleasant visit I had once p id to that village. I will go once again, thought I, if only to see what change haa wrought there. I soon put my resolutions into practice, and ere long I once more stood before th& well remem. be red bouse. The liulu flower garden was no more but rank grass and weeds sprung up lux uriantlythe windows were many of them bro kenthe entrance gate was off iia hinges. the vine, in. front of the house, trailed along the ground and a board,' with "This house lo let," upon it, was nailed over the door. I entered the deserted garden, and looked into the little parlor once so full of taste end elegance it waa -gloomy, and cheerless. The paper spotted with damp, and spiders built their web iu the corner. ' Involun tarily I turned awayJ and during my homeward ' minated on walk mused upon the probable homo e njoymente of the ton eifted creatures whom' I bad formerly wii at ,i svvnrcv, ajuiij wbiv iww vt,uii iiiv stars. Like one of them, 1 was about to quit my own, perhaps to die in a foreign land, and while a thousand things depresses my spirits, in almost bitterness of heart,! exclaimed with Burke, "Alat what shadows we are, end what shadows we pur. aue." ' f,..- ' ! -13' . K Ga.hblino is German v. Wiesbaden, in, the Duchy of Nassau, is the most famous watering place in Germany, and is described a i very pleasant spot It is, however, as such place are apt to be, poi luted by some crying vices,' among which is that of gambling, which is practised lo a frighif.il extent. A correapondeiitof the New York Observer gives .a graphic description of some of the gambling scenes he witnessed there. The extract below is from his description. The Kur Saal spoken of, is a magnificent hotel at Wiesbaden: , ' In the public rooms of the Kur Saal are rou lette tablet and other apparatus for gambling Which alter dinner, anil especially in the evening, are surrounded with persons of both sexes, most of whom stake more or less money. Directly op. posite i ne at dinner, sat a young man whose countenance instantly attracted my attention. He was very pale and thin, while his cold bjue eye, high cheek bones, and almost marble white ness and hardness of features,' together with a sullen, morose aspect, made me shrink from him as from some deadly thing. Added to air this, when he rose from the table, I saw he lud an ugly limb, which inade bim seem -more unnatural and monster like man neiore. Wandering soon after through tlie rooms, see-" ing what was to be sen, I came to a roul-. tte table around which were gathered gentlemen and ladies of all nations and ages, some of them staking small sums apparently for mere ainuse--r.....i.' .1.:..' '..j ............ ing young man came limping up, snd deposited a roll of twenty Napoleons or about SdO. A single turn of the wheal, and it was lost. He quietly drow forth another roll, which was also quickly lost. Without the least agitation or p- i Omni, jubi tlico, liu touavciuo niun- parent exritement he thus continued to draw forth one roll after another till twenty of them or about $t4t)0 were gone; He then an quietly, and without saying a word, limped away. He had not spoken or changed a muscle Ihe whole lime, and manifested no more anxiety or regret thin if he had lost only so many pennies. "There," said I to myself, as he sauntered away, " goes a professed irainbler, and h has all the qualities for a siirccssliil one. - Perfectly cool and self-possessed under themot provoking re verses, he does not get sngry and rave al fickle, perverse fortune, but takes it all as a matter of business." I then knew for the first time, why I felt such an antipathy towards him. A gam bler carries his repulsive soul in his fare, in his eye, nay, almost in his very gait. He makes a chilling atmosphere around him that repels every one that approaches him. Gambling seems to metamorphose a man more than any other crime except murder. " At night the Kur Saal is thronged with per sons of both sexes, and as I strolled through it I came again upon a gambling table, around which were sitting gentlemen and ladies of ev. cry age and nation. English girls were teasing their " papas" for a fow sovereigns to slake on the turning of a card, and old men were watch ing the changes of a game with all the eager ness ol youth. One lady, in particular, attract ed my attention. She was from Belgium, and her whole appearance indicated a person from the upper ranks of society. To an elegant form she added a complexion of incomparable white ness, which contrasted beautifully with her rich nuburn tresses that flowed in ample ringlet around her neck. Clad in simple white, and adorned with a profusion of jewels, she took her seat by the table, while her husband stood be hind her chair, and with her delicate wktte hand on a pile nf money before her, entered at once into the excitement of the game. As jshe sat, and with her unall rnke drew 16 her, nr pushed from her, the money she won or lost, I gazed on her with feelings with which I had ne ver before contemplated a woman. I did not think it was possible for an elegant and well dressed lady tn fill me with feelings of such ut ter tliagust. Her very beauty became ugliness, and her auburn tresses looked more unbecom ing than the eltin locks of a sorceress. Her ap pearance and her occupation presented such an utter contrast, that she seemed infinitely Uglier to me than the cold blooded, cadaverous looking gambler I had seen lose his money a few hours before. While 1 waa mentally comparing them, in he came, limping Inwards the table. I was half tempted to peep round and see if he had not a cloven foot. With the same marble-like leaturea and forbidding aspect he approached and laid down a roll of twenty Napoleons. He won, and putting down another won again, and thus he continued winning one after another, till he had got back the ten rolls he had lost before, and two in addition. Then, without wait ing for fortune to turn againat him, he walked uvtay without saying a word." THE BIBLR. The Bible is the only book which God has ev er sent, the only one ho ever will send into this world. All other books are frail and transient as time, since they are the only registers of Time ; but the Bible is durable as eternity, for its pages are the recorda of Eternity. All other works are weak and imperfect, like tlieir,author, man ; but the Bible iefeplete with -infinite power end per: feet ion, like its author, God. Every other volume is limited in its usefulness and influence ; but the Bible came fofth conquering and to conquer. - The Bible only, of all the myriads of books the world has seen, is equally interesting and impor tant to all mankind. It tidings, whether of peace or of woe, are the same to the poor, the ignorant and the weak, as to the rich, the wise and power ful. Ainnhgthe most remarkable of its attributes is justice ; for it looks with impartial eyes on kings and on slaves, on the chief aud the soldier, on philosophers and peasants, on the eloquent and the dumb. From all it exacts the same obedi ence tn its commandments, promising to thejrood the reward of their loyalty, but denouncing to the evil the consequences erf 1 hejr rebellion. Not are the. purity and holiness, the wisdom and bencvn)cnce of the Scriptures less conspicu ous. In vain we may look elsewhere for true models of character, for the models of the hus band the wife, ihe parent and ihe chid, the patri ot and the scholar, the philanthropist and the christian , the private citizen and the ruler of the nation. Whatever shall be their respective lot, whether poverty and wealth, prosperity and ad Tersiiy, social Influence or solitary station, the Bible is their only fountain of truth their only source of virtue and greatness, of honor and fo. licity. : . Here, then, let ua repose our trust hero let us look for our beacon of safety ; and whether sun shine or gloom, the storm or the calm, the beauty and wealth of spring, or the nakedness and deso lation of winter may be bur portion, supported and guided by the Bible, all must be well with ua ' in Ton; for all shall bo well with ua ia Ets-j iiTTfGrinJt A IIerculii or th4 Dat or tbi Kivoiv. Tio.T"The editor of the Memphis Eagle has. been examining a number of the Columbian Cen tinel. primed in Boaioo, July, 1801, being then in its 35th volume.- Under the obituary head of the Centinek says the Editor, we find the following account of tit exploits of a second Sampson ; v Mr. William Dowst, who" lately died at Salem, was man of uncommon site and strength. He; was nearly 7 feet bigfyend .weighed' 300 weich.' The following instances will prove hia great de.; gree of strength. He was on board a privateer jn the last war, which got among the breakers, off Cape Breton, when it became necessary im mediate): to. cast, anchor ; but there .being none upon deck, as msny hands laid hold as could get at it, but could not start it j Dowst pushed them aside, seized it himself, brought it upon deck, carried it forwardrand held it upon the timber heads while a eabie was bent to it, when he threw it over, and saved the vessel and lives of the crew, as they wer then upon the point of dashing upon the rocks ; the anchor weighed 700 weight. . j.s - At another time, 8 or 10 hands, were sent to Becket's ship yard from the well known priva teer ship Grand Turk, to bring up a foreyard for the ship ; Dowst was among them, but naturally dilator, he did not at first lake bold; the others shouldered it, but began to stagger under if, and complained that there was not enough tn carry fit ! Dowst laiifrhed at tbem, told thorn he would carry it alone ; on which they threw it down, and he took it up and carried it to the ship, with- OoriailaWncV. . At another time, wnen ne attended the tisn stakes at Windmill Point, he waa directed by hia employer to go for a jackase which was in the- adjoining field : when Dowst got him lo the par ,:,:.. r l.i : i i I , """" "."""' - T! i. ' . i h,mse,f the ,rouble of le,,wS d,,wn ,h6 bar8 he op the beast and lilted him over, and then got upon his back, and rode hirrTtothe ptace where he was to be employed. He once raised from the ground the anchor of the prize ship, Ro champtnn, which weighed 1700, and which four men had immediately before endeavored in vain to lift Upon a bet. Being at Bilsoa, in the late war, in a priva teer, anEnglish vessel came in, which had in its crew a professed bully, who was challenging ev. ery one to combat, and hearing of Dowst sent a particular challenge to him ; they met. and the Englishman, who was superior to our Sampson in the art of boxing, knocked him down three time, and the last lime twisted his fingers into his hair, tn gouge him, when Dowst gave htm a blow on his arm, which broke it, and with another, blow he broke in three of the bully's ribs, who, it is said, died of his wounds. Dowst, with his amazlnj strength, was re markably good natured, and tender in hia feel trigs, and rather of an indolent habit ; but when he was aroused to anger, or exertion, his efforts were irresistible. He enjoyed through life a large share of health. For three mouths pre vioua to his death, he had been afflicted with the dropsy, but appeared to have . considerably reco vered, and the last day of his life he walked the greater part of the day, according to his usual habitbut the next morning hia wife fouud him doad in the bed. A correspondent of the Philadelphia U. S. Ga zette, in a letter dated at Providence, R. I . makes the following allusions to the industry and thrift of the New England people : At Providence, I availed myself of 'tan oppor tunity to visit, among other factories, the exten sive works of the New England wood screw man ufactory, which is a curiosity worthy the notice of all who visit that city. The works are very extensive, and the machinery the most perfect that can be found for the manufacture of this ar- t tele. Some idea may be had of the extent nf the works from the fact that they turn out six hundred ton of screws per annum ! Even with this product they are unable to supply the mar ket, and have orders monllis .in advance of their ability to supply them. Upon entering the principal room nf this man ufactorya very large one I beheld a hundred and fifty machines in operation, and producing a deafening clatter, attended by, probably, a hun dred and thirty young women, girls and boys, from twenty years of age down to nine or ten ; most of them tending one machine, hut some having charge of two. I could not refrain from remarking to the gentleman who accompanied me, that thta room, presented one of the most striking exemplifications I had ever witnessed, of the difference between the North and Ihe South. Hero were from a hundred and twenty to a hundred and thirty persons, who, at the South, would be doing nothing, and perhaps worse than nothing, that were each here, by the aid of machinery, the invention of a "Yankee," performing the manual labor of at least twenty, five or thirty men. Suppose I here were one hundred, each of whom, by the aid of machinery, performed the manual la bor of twenty men-; the result would be a product equal to the labor of 2000 men, from those who, in other parts of the country, are allowed to spend their time in idleness and mischief. Let those who wonder why it that the " Yankees" are so thrifty and prosperous why they accumulate wealth, living as they do upon a cold, unproduc tive, rock-bound soil, while the South, with their rich bottom lands and their, genial climate, are so far in the rear, cease to wonder. The reasoning is as plain as the noonday sun, and no man can go into the New England factories without per. ceiving it As I have before remarked, the cap italists of New England, instead of dabbling , in stocks and playing the game of " Bull and Bear," invest their money with a view to' theeniploymsnt of labor, the only source of wealth. Their capital seeks labor and put it into ac tive operation, and the ' Consequence is that wealth is created, idleness and its ten thousand concomi tant evils are, in a great degree, banished from t lie community. I did not see an idle man in Providence, nor to the best of my recollection in New England : nor waa able to discover, tho fl took pains to do so, 'any appearance of squalid poverty, or even of discomfort. . The poorest ten. ements appeared to have an air of comfort and neatness about them which indicated that the wish of Henry IV. of Prance w'a realised j mm ly that every poor man hoiMc!
