ORIGINA 't 1:

wfie're from yonder rugged care,
With step composed and slow;
And downcast eye, and aspect.grave,
' And melancholy brow': '
The wanderer comesl Her Cheek is cold,
And lisening to We pray'r untold,
High Heav'n receives her vow!
And faint the heart, and weak the kurq
Of mild, and tuu.te'Humility!

tier tender feeface pale, and bare,
And fearful is her sigh !
And moaning, thto' her loose dark hair,
The mournful breezes fly !
A Pilgrim's staff she rests upon,
And as thro' life she passes on,
She seldom lifts her eye !
And o'er her breast her nr►n>i are crust,
And e►•'ry thought of pride is lust !

'tome tender, timid child of Fear!
In all thy trembling grace !
The sweet and silent pioneer,
To sorrow's resting place
And lined! upon the rugged earth,
And hide the rosy faCe of Mirth,
And all her pomp efface!
And hung her coronet of tiow'rs,
Within thy Weeping willow bow'rs'!

Or seated in the shady grove,
Beneath the aspen tree ;
She bears,thc tearful gaze above
And falls upon her knee; ,
And shuns the lordly pomp of state,
Which Mucks the mourner's WM)! fate
With most irreverent glee ;
And leading forward Innocence,
BeIUMIPS with her the world's offence !

The tender vuice of Love shall come
To lure thee into.rest ;
His hand shall deck thine earthly home,
And weave thy softer vest;
Dot still thou haint'st the lonely vale,
And blushingly thou hear'st the tale,

Most amiably distn-st ;
And doubting tho' the Wean may break,
The pruite he gives, thou wilt not take

Oh ! fairer, since thou Wilt not own
That all thyself art fair!
And sweeter, since tar thee unknown,'
71'by sweetness fades in air:
And holier, since thine humbler sigh
Entreats the Holiness on high,
To melt the soul in pray'r ;
0 cast away thy pour disituise,
And shine the Saint of Pat adise !

SAINT SWITITIN.

.Swithin, in the Saxon, Sivithitm (whose Reigtt
laSt Monday Was so copiously observed), received
his clerical to7,:;;:re, and put on the .monastic ha-
bit, in •the old tuonastry at Winches:er : he was
of noble parentage, ami,pasled his youth in the
study of grammar, philosophy, and the scriptures.
Swithin was promoted, to holy orders by.Helnl-
stan, Bishop of Winchester ; ,nr-whose- death, in
852, Xing lithelwolf granted him the see. In
this he continued eleven years, and died in 868..
In Poor Robin's Almanack for 1697, are the fol..
lowing lines, allusive to this day
In this month is St. Swithin%-day;
On which, if tint it rain, they say
Full forty days after it will,
Or more or less, some ruin distil.
This Swithin was a Saint, I troy,
And Winchester's Bishop also,
Who in his time did many a feat,
As Popish. legends do. repeat :
• A woman having broke her eggs
By stumbling at another's legs,
For which she made a woeful cry, . •
St. Swithin chanced for to conic by,
Who made them all as sound, or more
Than ever what they were before.
Mit whether this were so or no,
Tis more than you or I do know.
Better is it to rise betime,
And .to make hay while sun cloth shine,
Than to believe in tales and lies-
Which evil monks and friars advise.

tot:ILT OViIiNG'S kIENaI, JULY

ELUEIT 11. 'OSUORNE.

This was an action against the defendant, at,
owner of the ship Ab'ra'ham Neivland-, for repairs
done to her. •The.amount of the. bill was admitted,
but one item Of 601. for ,the bowsprit was dis-
puted, which was resisted on the 'ground that it
wa unserviceable.. In point of fact, the spar for
the bowsprit
.had been S'le'eted out of Many others,-
as an excellent piece of tirolker, and was inspected
00 behalf of the defendant-, null approved of. It
was worked up, and exhibited 'to the eye or tool
of the workmen not the least imperfection. On
tire ship's arrival in the Nest Indies, it was', how-
ever,' fount) weak and defective, and being cross-
sawed, it turned out to be rotten at the core;
though no human skill could discover it', as it was
every way extremely sound.
Mr. .1 saVi's contended, that in point of law the
itlaintifftould not recover lor this defective arti-
cle, as the law implied a warranty to furnish a
material fit for the tbiog
Lord ELL.EN BOil U G 1-1 said, the law imposed a
duty on the plaintiff' to act With integrity and skill
in his worli ; here he had done both. 'lliac was
TlO fraud imputed to him, and the defect was la-
tent to human skill. He was therefore of opinion
that the plaintiff was entithil to recover; but he
would make a note of Mr. Servii's objection, that
he might move hereafter it be thought proper.—
'erdict for plaintiff for 230/. the whole bill.

WESTBROOK V. WILSON'.
This w. 13 An actin)n of timer to recover the
value of a certain quantity of wool sheeting and
satking, which it was atiegtif the defendant bad
wrongfully converted to his own use.
It appeared that the plaintiff was a marinf;te-
timer, resitling at Abingdon, in. Berkshire, and
had sent op the goods in question in two
parcels, at two different periods, in west coun-
try barges, to the defendant,. a wharfinger,
occupying Brookl's Wharf, oft the River Tbaules;
these goods were delivered to the order of
a Mr. White, the plaintiff's_ ,London agent. It
, appeared that the wool sheeting had beun sold to
persons named Brice and ,Manby, •which were to
be paid for in money and goods of a different de-
scription htfore the sheeting was delivered. Tice
_sackiutg was sold to a person named Brewin,
which was to be paid for by a good bill of ex-
change before delivery'. With respect to the first
parcel of goods, it appeared that the defend-
ant delivered them to. Brice and, Marshy with-
out sufficient authority, and therefore. there
was no doubt of his liability for them. As to
the sacking, it appeared that White, the phintitPli
agent, had given an order for delivery to Brewin,
which the latter 'presented to the defendant, in
consequence of wh,ich he received the goods. It
appeared, however, that he had only diem) the
order to the defendant, .but 'had not. left it with
him as a
.vhucher for the delivery ; the order
having afterwards been lost or mislaid, and the
defendant not being now able to procure it-in
order to relnit his liability.
Lord ELLEN:BOROUGH. held 1111011 the authority
of Yowl v, llatbutt, Peake's Nisi Prins Cases 49,
that the defendant not being able to produce the
authority it was a Miss-delivery, for which he was
Liable in Rover.

'!'he Jury therefore, under his Lordsh;p's di-
rection, found a verdict for the• plaintiff—
Damages, 1951.

THE SPOT'S ON 'l'll6 SUN.

The feats expressed—rekpecting the Spots on the
Sum are not IlttV. In the 'seventeenth century
the astronomers considered the spots on the sun
as the commencement of the extinction of that
great conflagration which they' supposed 'to be
the •cause of the luminous state of the sun:- In
the 18th century an opinion was maintained
by LA—HIREi that those -spots were largt
lakei which would drown the suit. But the
supposition that the iillll was mit igneonx body
is now generally abandoned. These phenomena
have never been followed by any ,sensible
and durable revolution in our atmosphere.—
It isottly since the invention of telescopei that the
Spots have been carefully observed. An English-
man, and SCHRENER and FABRICIUS:the Germans,
were the first who made regular observations iit
1610 and 1611.. GALILeo studied them in I ql2,
and there were diet) mote than 50 spots, and front
their apparent movement, the rotatory motion of
the sun was concluded. In 1664, a small spot
was seen, which in a few days. became twice
as large and as dark as it was at first. A great
number were seen in 1681: Few have been seen
for a limger tinte than in 1676—they were seen
for 70 days. In 1695 and 1702 they were seen
in the same place. *Cassitvt speaks of one seen in
1763, and designates it its the largest and blackest
he had ever seen. It was three time ias large as
the whole earth. From 17-1,1 to 177.1, he says,
he does not recollect to have seen the ion without
spots, and in great number. In 1718 and 1719,
the son was covered with spots, and yet the heat
was extraordinary.

The weather this year has been equally unsea-
sonable almost every where. In America it has
proved no fess extraordinary than in Europe.—
There 'they have had snow about the middle of laSt
month in Albany and Bennington it bad fallen
to the depth of an inch and a half. In that vici-
nity much damage had been done by the frost.—
Frtnn New York it is stated, under date of the
151 h of June, 'that the cold weather, and even
frosts, continued in the upper part of the State
large icicles were pending, and the foliage of the
forests was blasted by the frost. At Radleigh, in
North Carolina, a calamitous fire had taken place,
which destroyed immense property : the losses
already ascertained amounted to 100,000 dollars
the United States GoVernment sustained a loss of
30 or 40,000 dollars in arms, accoutrements,
soldiers' clothing, Ste.
On Wednesday afternoon Leeds was visited by
a violent thunder-storm, which continued with
unabated fury for near two hours. The electric
fluid struck a house near Knostrop, occupied by
Mr. Benjamin Carrett, and also several other
houses, but happily without doing soy- very ma-
terial damage. A valuable bkse belonging to
Mr. Boponin Atkinson was ano struck dead ita at
stable at Ifillbouse-batik.
