FOR THE GAZETTE !
Mr. Editor,
\ he subsequent lines, were sometime
since addressed to a lady in Richmond, who |
i« s«» wise and so beautiful as to be styled the 1
Minerva and the Venus of the city. If you
think them too good to lose, please to give
them a place in the Gazette.
Once more renew thy magic sprll,
Again the choral numbers swell ;
Or touch the sweetly sounding w .r,
And gentlest, purest joys inspire.
Yen, sweep the keys and swell the song
And bear the listening soul along ;
For oh lair maid 1 the power is thine.
To thrill the breast with sounds divine ;
And thine the *uf; bewitching art,
To wake the music of the heart,
To sound it’s sweeiest Unde lest key,
And swell it with thy minstrelsy.
Yas o'er the heart thy numbert steal,
And teach the coldest bteast to leel,
So Fingal’s harp, which long had slept,
I s tones untried it> j rds unswept,
Was woke by vag.J ■ . Zephyr's wing,
Ai.d music trembled on each string*
Oh ! in thy sweetly sounding notes
Methinks thy gentle spirit floats,
And in each cadence are combined,
The fiowcrs of Melody and Mind.
ri lie artless Caledonian song
Acquires new pathos front thy tongue,
And every simple wood note wild
Bespeaks thee nature’s favorite child.
Oh ever thus be thine the power,
To charm the lazy-f asking hour ;
Be thme the task to sweep the lyre,
t And mine to listen and admire.

“ Ulessed above women snaU Jael the wife cj
Heber the Kemte be ; blessed shall she ve
above women in the tent."
It will be recollected that these wi rds are
a part of the song of Deborah and Barak
when Israel was delivered from the hand of
Jabin king ot Hazor. bisera the captain of
Jabm’s amt} tied in the heat of the battle
to the lento! Heber the Kemte whose wile
Jael received him with apparent kindness,
uhd then murdered lum while sleeping ; and
for this she was eulogised as m tne text.—
One difficulty arises heie. it is expteasly
Said that there was peace between Jabut
and the house of Heber ih*: kemie, and as
Jael invited Sisefa into the tet t in a triendly
manner, her subsequent conduct is thought
by s me to be a wu.ked breach ut faith, and
an act of treachery by no means justifiable.
A little attention may perhaps show tne
ti uth of the case. '11ns Heber was a de
scendant oi jeiltio the priest of Midian,
tue tatiier in law ot Moses. He seemed at
tins time to have been neutral like many ot
the trioes of Israel, and not in alliance with •
the king of Hazor. Tnougn not an Israeli i
he doubtless tell under obligations to assist
in exttt paung those cursed nations wnn.li
infested the land, for like his illustrious an
cestor, it is probable he worshipped the line
God, who it seems appointed hi* wile to be
the instrument lor executing iu» vengeance,
and delive ringed* chosen people, iv tin*
answers the prophecy of Dcboiah, recorded
in the foregoing chapter, ** 'i'he Lord shu*i
sell bitsera into the i>mna oj a woman."
Tnougli Goa neeuem not tne aid of de
ception, treachery or lies to accomplish ins
purposes, )et Where there is a heart intent
on ms glory he is pleased to accept the bent
ot such a mind, uknough through the im
pel kction of human nature there should be
a tsnure in the means used, Uf tins kind
was tiic conduct ol the Egyptian mid wives,
ut fis.hu 0 the liar lot, ot Jael, and ot tiie wo
man spoken ot in lAh oi ot 5amuei, who

ail iue»e cases, which ale very similar, God
was pleased to accept lire ac», and probably

Wonderful Fact.—Sir Hugh Acland,
of Devonshire) apparently died of a fe
ver, and Was laid out as dead—The
nurse, with two of the footmen eat up
with the corpse. Lady Aclai.d sent
them a bottle of brandy to drink in the
night ; one of the footmen being an
aich rogue, told the other, that Iris
master dearly loved brandy when he
was alive ; and, says he, I am resolved
he shall drink one glass with us now
he is dead. The Iellow filled out a
bumper of brandy, and poured it down
Sir Hugh’s throat. The spiiit mixing
with the air in the passage, a guggling
immediately ensued, and a violent mo
tion of the neck and upper part of the
breast. The other footman and nurse
were so Unified, they ran down stubs,
and the Brandy Genius following with
two much speed, tumbled down suits
headforemost.—The noise of his fail
and their cries, alarmed a young gen
tleman that sDpt in }he house that
night, who got up and went to the
room wlrerc the corpse lay—and, to
his great surprise, saw Sir Hugh sit
ting upright. He called the set vants,
the gcuilemun was put in a warm bed,
the physician and apothecary scut [or ;
who, in a few weeks, had the happiness!
to restoie their patient to health, who
lived several years after.
The above is well known, as a fact, to
the Devonshire people, as in most com
panies bir Hugh used to tell this
strange circumstance, and taU of his
resurrection by his Brandy footman ;
to whom (when he cited) he ieh a hand
some annuity.
This account sufficiently argues the
caution with which we should avoij
hurrying to the grave, pet sons appar
ently dead —^Lond. f nji.
-d Tailor's Goose ; or the new method
of curing love.—A Tailor ot some ce
lebrity at the west end of the town, ha
ving several beautiful daughters, a
spark paid his addresses to one of them,
to which her father was averse ; but
not wishing to give the young man a
plump denial, took the following me
thod of showing his dislike ; on Sun
day last he invited the sweetheart to
dine with him, saying that he should
only give him a leg of mutton smother
ed in onions, and a goose. 'The iwvi
tation was accepted, and at the appoin
ted hour the swain attended : the leg
of mutton (with cabbage) was served
up, and soon demolished ; and on the
remains being removed, an enormous
large Tailor's iron goose, red-hot, was
next ushered in and laid ujvon the ta
ble before the beau. His consterna
tion can better be conceived than des
cribed 1—He, however, took the hint,
and taking ins hut, made three low
Scotch boo's, waddling oft like a gander.
