THE HOUR I LOVE.
I LOVE the hour, Oh! 'tis divine, And memry's bland attractive pow'r, Bids life's gay visions all combine, To enhance the blisses of that hour.
'Tis when the Pilgrim twilight sheds. O'er groves grown wild, his mantle grey, When the lone woodman, homeward treads, And lightly chaunts the roundelay.
I love! when at the bourne of day, The white surge murmurs on the shore, Upon the sedge crown'd cliff to lay, And list me to the ocean's roar.
I love; when Springs first blossoms breathe Their spicy odors to the gale, The silver hawthorns shade beneath, To sit and hear the wanderer's tale.
But most I love, when Autumn throws, Her silver lustre o'er the fields: Pomona blushes on the boughs, And Ceres golden treasure yields.
By some pure runnell in the dell, At evening 'neath the moon's pale ray, To hear prophetic fancy tell, How blooms the Rose—its quick decay.
Then hope, sweet hope! exclaims again, 'Spring will return—the rose shall bloom,' And heav'n ting'd Lilachs deck the plain, Exulting o'er their transient tomb.
This heav'nly hour! is dear to me, From it, toil, care, and sorrow flee!

For wit and for sarcastic humor, a little paper printed at Philadelphia, The Tickler , and edited by a Mr. Helmbold, has perhaps never been rivalled by any periodical publication in any country. And now as a specimen of the felicity with which he can when he pleases handle a grave subject in a grave manner, we present the following from his last number. Unless we are mistaken, it will engage very general attention among that class of our readers whom we are most solicitous to please, and always esteem it our highest honor to amuse.

On the means duty and happiness of K I S S I N G.
"JACOB KISSED RACHEL."
GEN. 29 CHAP.—V. II.
To prove that Jacob did not incur the least guilt by this interesting act , I have combined the testimonies of the scriptures and the unanimous opinion of the most learned interpreters of the passage which I have selected for the subject of the following comments.
Multitudes of men since the days of the illustrious patriarch, have done the same, and been like him, as absolutely free from sinning. The voice of all ages, has not merely confirmed the rectitude of the practice, but emphatically recommended the imitation of it, to posterity. Much does it therefore redound to the honor of the present century, and to the natives of this country in particular, that in this agreeable pursuit, instead of ever deviating from the pious paths of their ancestors, they have improved to such a degree upon the example, that future ages, however well disposed to bear obediently in their remembrance so captivating a lesson, will find it difficult to surpass them in their adherence to this engaging virtue. May we constantly persevere in fervent efforts to deserve this character, indefatigably performing so essential and so exquisite a branch of our local duty.
In the discussion of this important point, I propose
First—To consider the meaning of the words "Jacob kissed Rachel."
Secondly—To enforce the fullest submission to the charming precept which it conveys: and
Lastly—To shew how frequently, and in what different senses it has been pressed on our most serious and liveliest consideration, by inspired writers.
First then, as to the meaning of the words, "Jacob kissed Rachel"—The verb to kiss,
the substantive a kiss, the participle kissing and the phrase KISSED, signify generally a simple salute. The kissing described in the text, falls under the same description; it was a mere contact of the lips, accompanied by, perhaps a partial, perhaps by a mutual smacking. This will appear by an examination of the context. We learn that Jacob departed from the house of his father, upon a journey to the land of the people of the East for the purpose of receiving a wife, beautiful and meritorious as he deserved.—This expedition was difficult, momentous and interesting. On the result of it depended his bliss or misery. The partner of his nuptial bed might either cover it with piercing thorns, or with a kind and constant hand strew it over with unfading wreathes of roses. After a tedious pilgrimage (if the expression be allowable) he arrived at Pedan Aram , in Syria, a country which seemed for various reasons the peculiar favorite of Heaven. In one of the green valleys of this fertile region he met the young and lovely Rachel. Instigated by the propensity of his nature, and the power of her personal attractions, he flew to her, and in the energetic language of the text; kissed her . What man not cursed by a detestable abhorrence of her sex, could refrain from taking (or at least wishing to take) the same liberty. Fair and inviting was the opportunity, and it is difficult to decide, whether the cold temperament of him who could resist it, ought most excite pity or incur contempt.
It is not proved that Rachel either resisted, or even objected against this freedom from a stranger. We may venture, therefore, to determine that the salutation had quite the opposite effect, upon the solid principles, regarding which the learned, so prone to controversy, and so notorious for a discordancy of sentiments, have differed. that women and especially maidens, (such as this period we must consider Rachel) did never from the creation of the world to the present hour, conceive a mortal antipathy to a kiss from an admirer, glowing with all the manly allurements of youth, comeliness and vigor. But, no readiness to take offence, no spark of momentary resentment, no flashes of transient anger, were raised within her breast by the tender familiarity of Jacob. She received it as the welcome presage of a fonder intimacy, which terminated in a prosperous marriage. Thus as in the days of yore, kissing is generally the forerunner of closer connections, which sometimes have led to uncorrupted matrimony, but which has often with a faithless step been known to start aside from the fascinating object to which the male lover declared that it was ultimately tending. Thrice fortunate are they, who, unalterably attentive to the hallowed mandate which proceeds from Heaven, from nature, and speaks with sofi , yet insurmountable persuasion, to every son and daughter of the universe, can truly exclaim, "We have not labored in vain; we have not suffered the flower of our age to drop withering from the stalk; we possess the commendation of our own consciences and the esteem of our friends, in addition to which enviable felicitous, our children shall rise up and call us blessed."
Having thus briefly considered the import of the words "Jacob kissed Rachel," I shall secondly endeavor to fix upon your minds the actual expediency of implicitly submitting to the cordial precept which it inculcates. Whatsoever nature inclines us to do, the same not being prohibited by any positive law, divine or human, it assuredly behoves us to execute. But on this occasion the injunction presents itself with an aspect so winning and so enlightened, that we cannot hesitate to regard it, at once rational and extatic. Let the insensible beings of the masculine gender, (if such unfortunately there are) examine their inward feelings, and declare whether they would not conceive it difficult totally to resist the temptations of lips like those of Rachel: a fragrance, equal to the odors of an April morn, issuing from their vermilioned surface, to render them not the least captivating of that almost divine assemblage of features, in which Jacob doubtless perceived the spotless index of the milder virtues, invariably directed throughout their lucid progress, by the best and consequently the most serviceable qualities of a female understanding. I can affirm to them that the majority of beings, who compose the masculine class of this world, are a compound of materials too sublime, too effervescent, too luxuriously prone to the participation of the fair indulgence not to enjoy by the warm magic of an elevated imagination, these scenes of reciprocal endearments, as having passed between Jacob and Rachel. He kissed her; he lifted up his voice and wept—In sorrow? No! from an excess of transport. The joy which overflowed the heart ran gushing, from the delighted eye dropping a tributary tear upon the
snowy bosom of the enchanting object of this inevitable yet just emotion.
From the case of Jacob, it is not erroneous, but highly requisite to infer that his behavior at this interview with Rachel, should be taken, so long as the world exists, for a pattern by all who may have the advantage of standing in a similar predicament.
Let this admonition remain deeply engraved on the tablets of our memory. As we are bound to carry it into the most extensive practice, whensoever the least occasion may occur, may we become inspired with a spirit of emulation, and strive during so delectable a task, to bear away the glorious palm of pre-eminence.

From the New-York Evening Post.
Mr. Jackson.—There is the highest probability that Mr. Jackson not only has his negotiation in train, but with very fair prospects of effecting an adjustment that shall be honorable and satisfactory to both countries, for Duane tells his readers, that "Mr. Jackson is industriously engaged in doing or trying to do us [that is the French party] a great deal of mischief."
The following paragraph speaks in a language which cannot be misunderstood.
"There is now the highest probability, that the continental powers will make propositions to us, to open their ports to our commerce, provided that we effectually show our determination to enforce our rights on the ocean, as an independent nation. Any provisional arrangement with the British government, which might tie up our hands from an immediate acceptance of such propositions, might therefore be productive of the most unfortunate results to this country."
When the above shall be translated into Duane's master's French paper at Paris, the translator need scarcely be at any further trouble than to copy that passage from Champagne's infamous letter which roused the indignation of every American, and which Duane and Eppes declared contained nothing but what was friendly. The "continental powers (he says) will make propositions, "provided we effectually shew our determination to enforce our rights on the ocean." What is this but to say in other words, France will have no neutrals: Join her, unite your force with her's and compel Britain to submit, and then, you may become her ally in due order to become her vassal. "Any provisional arrangement (he continues) with the British government which might tie up our hands from an immediate acceptance of such propositions [Hear the traitorous scoundrel!] might therefore be productive of the most unfortunate results to this country." Whether this man is to govern Mr. Madison, and whenever he suspects him of quitting the cause of France, to whip him in, as he used to Jefferson, remains to be seen.
If Mr. Madison can once get out of the clutches of the faction; once get clear of the control of a lord Bute, and once break away from the Gileses, the Smiths and the Gallatins, and act the noble part of an American whose real object is the true interests and honor of the nation, he now, I doubt not, has an opportunity to render his country a greater service, than often falls to the lot of men. But if instead of this, a scheme of mere expediency is to continue to prevail, whose primary object is the preservation of authority to a dominant party, then the administration of our affairs will still be conducted in the usual wavering, undecided, inconsistent manner, so perfectly consonant to the views of him whose invisible hand has so long and so fatally directed our councils. Should such be the case, I risk nothing in saying that in the condition into which the country has been degraded by a faction, Bonaparte only will be found able to open the eyes and correct the errors of a people whose example have given the enemies of free government, greater cause of satisfaction than the authors of our liberties ever gave the friends of freedom.

SITUATION OF AMERICAN PROPERTY CARRIED INTO NORWAY.
Extract of a letter from captain Isaac Storer of the ship America , to his correspondent in this town, dated, Christiansand (in Norway) Aug. 16, 1809.
"I left Newcastle the 2d inst. for Gottenburg, and on the evening of the 4th, I saw 7 or 8 boats approach me, which I took to be fishing boats, but which proved to be privateers; they began firing, and I hoisted Danish colors. I hoisted American colors. They boarded me and demanded my papers; after remonstrating in vain, and explaining to them that the property was neutral and papers all clear, they took out my mate and 4 men, and put on board 15 of the privateersmen, and took me in here. On the 7th I with all the crew, underwent an examination before an inferior judge, all which was then submitted to the king's translator, and I am summoned to attend trial on the last day of this month, which I apprehend will be tedious, as all the American cases have been; but cannot think they can possibly condemn me, even by their own laws, established for the government of prize courts and privateers. You will undoubtedly conclude with me that there cannot be any color for condemnation or detention, particularly when I inform you I have in my possession (and the court has now) every requisite document, properly signed & vouched, to prove the legality of the voyage and the neutrality of the ship; yet many American vessels have been condemned at this court, and all have appealed to a higher tribunal at Christiansand; several however have been cleared here, by paying costs to the amount of 4 to 600 rix dollars. If I am cleared, prospects are better here than at Gottenburg.
"You will perceive I am looking at the bright side of the question—let us turn the tables. In the first place, these people having brought us in, they have more friends here than we, and privateersmen, you know, are not the most immaculate characters in the world; in the next place our total ignorance of the language will not allow us to make that defence which our peculiar situation requires; add to this, the impression which prevails here, that America and France are on the eve, if not already at war; they contrive all means to protract trials, and have the strangest complication of forms and ceremonies, that perhaps was ever heard of in courts of judicature. They require a defence, before we can possibly know what charges they have against us, and even after vessels are cleared, and the masters led to believe they can proceed, they have been stopped, and new and unheard of documents required before they can pass the forts. I understand there have been instances where vessels which have been brought in have been searched very strictly, and their private papers taken, and even one vessel was completely unloaded to search for contraband goods; nothing of this, however, has fallen to my lot, but am treated with civility.
"I cannot conclude without expressing to you the great obligations which myself and all my countrymen are under to Peter Isaacson, Esquire, merchant, of this place, whose generous and friendly interference with this court, in behalf of Americans, (and whose influence and respectability in point of talents and fortune is great) entitled him to all the gratitude they can bestow or express. The American masters and supercargoes here, have, with one voice, appointed him a commercial agent, vesting him with all the authority they are able, till the pleasure of our government can be known, and I cannot but hope the government will sanction the appointment.
"By the vessel which conveys this, you will have a list of the American vessels in the ports of Norway. The Topaz is at Pleccafjord, about 70 miles from this—Captain Hodge I have not heard of; hope he has gone safe. There is now in this port American property amounting to upwards of two millions of dollars, as per their respective invoices exclusive of the vessel; there are 28 Americans here, 11 of which have been condemned."

IMPROVED BREED OF SHEEP.
On Tuesday last, the sale of the stock of the late Joseph Capner, of Flemington, Jersey, took place, and was numerously attended by farmers from Pennsylvania, and various parts of this state. Mr. Capner is well known, had attended particularly to the improvement of sheep, and had succeeded to a degree highly honorable to himself, and beneficial to the county at large,

Thousands of crosses between the Leicester or Dishley Rams, and our native Ewes. He had for three years successively hired rams, the first year at 200 dollars the season, and the two last at 150; and his flock exhibited a fine collection as any country could boast of in the same space of time. The disposition to fatten, the docility, and beauty of form, are peculiar characteristics of the Dishley breed. This wool, although not so fine as the Silky Merino , is of that class called Combings, and is indispensable for worsted; and in various articles of dress, and may be greatly improved by a judicious selection of ewes. Our farmers are beginning to be generally sensible of the great value of their breed, as the following list of prices which were here obtained will shew. We apprehend no sale of sheep of equal amount has ever been made in this country. We understand that seven of the full-blooded rams have been let this season, for 150 dollars per piece, to farmers in various parts of this state and in Pennsylvania.    4 Sheep (Ewes) at $ 16,00 each,  $64,00    4 do. at 16,00  64,00    4 do. at 16,50  66,00    4 do. at 20,30  81,20    4 do. at 8,80  35,20    4 do. at 16,00  64,00    4 do. at 7,30  29,20    4 do. at 9,60  38,40    4 do. at 7,25  29,00    4 do. at 7,00  28,00    5 do. at 7,25  36,25    5 do. at 7,00  35,00    5 Lambs at 12,20  61,00    5 do. at 12,75  63,75    5 do. at 7,85  39,25    5 do. at 9,50  47,50    5 do. at 7,90  39,50    23 Wedders at 4,60  105,30    93 Sheep & Lambs amounting to  $92,005

Extract of a letter dated 12th September from a house of the first respectability in Amsterdam.
"The embargo laid in our ports has been taken off; the American vessels arrived before 31st July return home in ballast; all those arrived since are ordered home without unloading; their cargoes consist of prohibited articles; there is not much doing in our markets; the demand for produce is at lone for HOME consumption, and prices are in consequence nominal. To prevent the possibility of exporting colonial and other produce from this country to Germany, the French have drawn three lines of custom-house officers round our frontiers, who seize every thing that falls in their hands; so that we are completely circumscribed in our commercial relations with our neighbors. You will readily conceive the impressions these restraints make on people's minds. Nothing but a general peace can relieve us from our present difficulties; but there is no appearance of such an event taking place between Great Britain and France, and we doubt much whether the latter and Austria will agree to terms."
From the Boston Palladium, Oct. 27.
FROM LISBON. Last evening arrived here the schooner Pocahontas , Captain Herrick, in 37 days from Lisbon. Captain H. reports that gen. Wellesley had arrived at Lisbon indisposed, leaving his army about 100 miles from that city, probably near Badajoz, and Elvas, on the Portuguese frontiers. About 7000 fresh troops had just arrived from England. The Portuguese did not appear under any apprehensions of another visit from the French. The transports in the Tagus were said to be preparing to return to England.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, August 27.
"From the late movements of the British and Portuguese armies it appears to be their joint plan to fall back on the frontiers of this country, which is deemed tenable against the efforts of the enemy. The combined troops have suffered much from the want of provisions, and the Spaniards have not co-operated to the extent that was expected from them. These joint motives it is understood, occasioned general Wellesley's actual retreat to Elvas. Beresford with his forces, is at Castello Branco. Since the engagement on the 29th ult. the hostilities on both sides have been limited to outpost skirmishes."

Oporto the 7th. We could make no decent offer for her cargo in this river. The nominal prices of indian corn here are 400 rs. pr. algr. but no sales are effecting.
"We have taken charge of your consignments of flour, all of which is in store, and must lay over until the demand revives, and the present alarm subsides, which is occasioned by the late news from America, and the number of importations that have taken place. Flour is offering ineffectually for 8 dollars per bbl."

Their contents are not interesting. The papers talk of the probable trial of lord Chatham in regard to the failure of the expedition to the Dutch coast.
The renewal of the non-intercourse law was known in London on the 9th September.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated Sept. 12, 1809, received by the Suwarrow.
"The president's proclamation of the 9th ult. was received here on the 9th inst. On that day, however, we believe its contents were only known to a few, though the disposition to speculate was generally more strongly manifested than we ever recollect on similar occasions; particularly in cotton, of which about 14,000 bags were sold before the close of the evening; and 9th; and 19d per pound was obtained for Uplands on board."
"Yesterday intelligence was received here that the differences betwixt America and France have been adjusted, and that the Wasp sloop of war was on the point of leaving America for France, with the ratification of a treaty between the two countries. This has excited a strong apprehension here that war between America and England will be the result of the new situation in which the countries are placed, as the annexed quotations sufficiently evince, at which very extensive sales have been made."
"We have for some time past, stated to you that we did not participate in the growing apprehensions of late, as to difficulties likely to arise out of the non-ratification of Mr. E's arrangements. The president's proclamation, however gives us some cause to fear, that Mr. Jackson may meet with greater difficulties in the negotiation, than we were previously inclined to expect. Still we cannot think war as even a probable event, and the very circumstance which has given rise so generally to that apprehension in others, namely, the good understanding which it is now believed subsists between America and France, is the very ground on which we found our hopes of an accommodation of the differences between England and America. It is said America secures her right to trade with all the places not actually blockaded, England not excepted. In that case the very ground of our blockading system so far as respects America, is taken away, and we ought to expect that it will be accordingly given up, which we conceive must facilitate the settlement of our disputes."
"It is believed that wheat has sustained injury, but to what extent cannot at present, be ascertained; the general opinion, however, may be judged of best by the prices."

PARTIES. —It is said that a republic cannot exist without parties and that there is no danger from these unless they should be reduced to a few—When there were but two parties in Religion the massacre of St. Bartholemews was natural, but as soon as there were ten or a dozen sorts of dissenters, religion seemed not to be worth fighting about.
So it would be if instead of Federal and Democrat we were to have Quids & Quods —immaculate Republicans—first chop Democrats—Liberty boys, &c. &c. In short,
the more parties and the more men we set up in opposition the less danger from the effect of the blows to which two parties would be inevitably subject. And yet I am opposed to going to either the savages or to European vocabularies for party names. The Tories and Whigs of Europe are both English monarchists, and both were abandoned with contempt at the declaration of independence; yet the late imported foreigners are attempting to revive these monarchical names! The origin of which must disgust every true American.
The original Tories were a set of savages who robbed in the country, in Ireland; while the whigs, or wigs , were town pick pockets, who frequently changed their wigs for a disguise, as they were running from their pursuers in the streets of Dublin. Now what have the Americans to do with either of these appellations, or with the principles held by whig and tory monarchists, who only differ on a trifling point of reform, but are both monarchists.
