From Mrs. Rawson's Miscellaneous Poems.
KISS THE BRIM^AND BID IT PASS.
When Columbia's shores receding,
Lessen to the gazing eye :
Cane nor island intervening,
Break the expance of, sea and sky;
When the evening shades descending,
Shed a softness o'er the mind,
When the yawning heart will wander,
To the circle left behind : ,
Ah, then to frienship fill the glass,
Kiss the brim and bid it pass.
When the social board surrounding,
At the evening's slight repast,
\ Often will our bosoms tremble,
As we listen to the blast ;
Gazing on the moon's pale lustre, „
Fervent shall our pray'rs arise,
For thy peace, thy health, thy safety,
To him who form'd the skies ;
To friendship oft we'll fill the glass,
Kiss the brim and bid it pass.
A SCRAP.
How mortifying to human pride is the reflection
that the most sordid of all the vices has sometimes
Stained the highest characters. In the reign of
Georgethe First, the Lord Chancellor Maccles
„ FIELD was condemned to a fine of thirty thousand
pounds and imprisonment for Selling commissions to
masters in chancery. In the proceeding reign the
Duke of Marlborough, after returning fromiictories
as splendid as any in history, was dismissed from
the Queen's service for having taken a bribe of six
thousand pounds a year from a jew in a contract
to supply the army with bread. And in earlier
times the Lord Bacon, who laid down those prin
ciples by the aid of which Newton raised his im
mortal system, was punished for bribery and cor
ruption in the administration of his office. What
excuse can there be for such perfidy ? Yet when
characters so exalted in other respects above their
species, have been found frail, there is less wonder,
that in more ordinary characters of the vulgar,
great temptation should be an pver match for con
science. A man of unsound heart, inccorrect edu
cation and restless ambition, be his fancy ever so
warm and his intellect over so keen, be his talents
. ever so popular and his ability of doing good ever
so great, ought never to be trusted with power, lest
he be tempted to prostitute it to the worst of purpo
ses. Centinel.
The following beautiful sentence, is from a speech
of the celebrated Curran—-an Irish Barrister:
The hospitality of other countries is a matter of
necessity or convention, in savage nations of the first,
in polished of the latter ; but the hospitality' of an
IRISHMAN is not the running account of posted and
fedgered courtesies,as in other countries ;it springs
like all his qualities, his faults, his virtues, directly
from his heart. The heart of an Irishman is by
nature bold, and he confides ; it is tender, and he
loves ,it is generous, and he gives ; it is social, and
he is hospitable.s
W'^e cattle are kept out in winter it is recom
mended as an useful practice to rub some tar at the
root of the horns, which prevents the wet from get
ting between the root and skin, and it is said con
tributes to preserve the health of the animal, and
to keep it free from various diseases to which it m^y
otherwise be liable.
An article in a late Baltimore paper, announcing
a person's decease, says, his manes were committed
to that bourne “ whence no traveller returns"
attended by all his friends.

^NNET.
To a young Lady in a/ffilication, who thought she
should never more be haftfty.
Written on the sea shore.
« Yes, thou shalt smile again!—Time always heals,
"In youth, the wounds of sorrow. 0 ! survey
“ You now subsided deep, though night a prey
“ To warring winds, and to their furious peals
“ Surging tumultuous. Yet, as in dismay,
" The settling billows trembling: morning steals
" Grey on the rocks ; and soon, to pour the day,
u From the streaked east, the radiant orb unveils
" In all his pride of light. Thus shall the glow
“ Os beauty, health and hope, by soft degrees,
"Spread o'er thy breast ; disperse these storms of
woe;
« Wake with soft pleasure's sence, the wish to
please,
" Till from those eyes the wonted lustre flow,
“ Bright as the son on calm and crystal seas,"
When in India's sultry climate,
Mid the burning torrent zone;
Will not c,Mhy fancy wander
From her bowers to thy own ?
When her richest fruits partaking,
Thy unvitiated taste,
Oft shall sigh for dear Columbia,
And her frugal neat repast ;
Ah then to friendship fill the glasb,
Kiss the brim and bid it pass.

Piscataqua Bridge.
THE Directors of Piscataqua Bridge Propriety,
have this day voted an assessment of 7k* Dollar
on each and every Proprietor's Share, and directed
the Treasurer to collect tbe same, within one mouth
from the date.
The Proprietors are therefore requested to pay 1
the same to the Treasurer, at'his cffice in Ports
mouth, on or before Wednesday the third day of
Aftril next.
The Proprietors are informed, that each year
since the Bridge was built, there has been a Pro
gressive increase of toll : the amount collected the
last year is more than six ft er tent, on the first
cost. Btf the repairs the last year, with what must
necessarily be expended the ensuing season, for
which large advances have already teen made by
the several Directors of the Bridge, and Managers of
the Lottery, amount to more than the toll collect
ed since the last dividend. The proceeds of the
Lottery cannot yet be realised.
