MAJESTIC rising, like the vivid morn,

CIcaves the light clouds and sails along the sky;
Broad 70 the sun his kindIing breast he turns,

Breaks like the day spring on the brow Of night;
Now from the throne of noon his sight he bends,
Where far beneath, the dusky world extends,
His boundIsss vision beams from pole to pole,
Where empires flourish and where oceans roll
The radiant palace of the morn lie sees,
And the green yaIes that nurse the evening breeze
The realms of ice, where tempests dwell forlorn,
And southern seas where vernal showers are born.
Subiimely thus, with transport unconfn'd,
On wings of Immortality, the mind

Admires her works, her mysteries explores.

AMERICAN HEROISM.

Could every instance Of individual heroism,
which has occurred during the present war,
be collected and recorded, they would form o
subject Of proud satisfaction for the contem-
plation Of the American patriot, and transmit
q page to posterity, unsurpassed by the bright
est annals of Grecian and Roman glory. Ev-
cry gallant deed of our ocean warriors, from
the most skilfull commander down to the ru-
dcst and humblcst tar, adds alike to the lustre
Of our national character, and equally demands
our admiration and lasting remembrance.
But in the action between the Phoebe and Es-
sex, how many of our bravo seamen sunk as
IL were in blaze Of glory, whose individual
names must be forever shroudcd in darkness
To redeem them from this fate, and hold them
up as examples for the emulation Of their
countrymen in arms, would be a pleasing
task.--Though they fell in their coun,ry's
cause, far from their kindred aud homes, yet
their relatives and friends would then, while
mourning their death, feel a bright consola-
tion in their transition TO perpetual fame.
From friend who took part in the engage
tncnt, we have received the following ancc-
dotcs, exemplary Of that fearless and patriot
&c spirit which animated the whole crew of
the Essex, and which has characte tized
our hardy sailors in all their combats
with the ,yrant of the seas. To the memory
Of the brave fellows mentioned ,hcscin, their
publicity is due and We doubt not but mauy
msre instances Of chivalrous hcroism, result
ing from noble love OF country. might be
obtained and recorded 10 the lasting honor OF
the American name.

"a DREADFUL WARMING.

AlBedford (Mass.) on the 18th inst. Miss
BKrsEY BoIEs, daughter of the widow Eliza
beth Boics, aged 10. In the night of the list
of june, between the hours Of and l2, this
unfortunate female awoke, enveloped in smoke
a and fame. For the first time during several
months, she that night slept alone in her cham
Der. The 6rs was communicated from the
candle. The impression on her own mind
was, that after she was in bed she cxtinguish-
cd the candle. OF this however, she had no
distinct or certain recollection. The CANDLE
stick was found by the family standing in the
middle of an arm chair. Upon this chair
were lying some cotton clothes Of two little
girls who had customarily slept in the same
bed, and also her own clothes. The fire was,
undoubtedly, communicated either from the
snuff or the blaze Of the candle, TO the clothes
on the chair, and from these TO her bed. The
curtains wore consumed and fell, and tho COW
ering of the bed was chiefly burnt before she
awoke. She twice attempted to escape
through the doors that led into the chamber,
but could not succeed. Despairina Of help
In this way, she returned and attempted to
extinguish tho FIRE. Here also she failed,
and again tried the doors, one Of which she
opened. She was met at the foot Of the stairs
by the family, covered with fire, and her hair
in flames. All this took place at the house
OF Mr. Sias Gibbs, where she resided. In
her fright, she now ran out OF the house TO
her mothers, who lives the opposite side of
the street. On examination she was found
to be deeply burnt on both arms, from her
shoulders to her fingers, on her back, and the
whole Of the right side, neck, breast, head
and face, making surface of more than six
feet square. Her mouth and throat were also
burnt, and probably her lungs, by inhaling the
Gre. The timely aid Of a skilful physician,
gave to her burns the appearance of healing
but nothing could mitigate her distress. IN
this dreadful state, she lansuished during four
weeks.
The particulars arc thus given, for the pur-
pose Of presenting warning and instruction to
the living. In all probability, thousands have
left q candle as she did. She thought of no
danger from this source. Let all receive the
scasonable caution, and If any are in the habit
of reading by candle light, when in bed, let
them imme ediately relinquish tho dangerous
habit. Life is too precious to be sported with.
Life how uncertain Health, friends, all tenn
poral enloymcnts, how fecting Happy those
whose peace is made with COB.

Vermont.
+" BuRLINoToN, April a.


A body of our troops, uader the
command of Gen. Wilkinson, pro-
ceeded on Thursday last as far as the
rircr Lacole, where, after an obstinate
resistance, they drove the British pick.
ct. into Stone MI, which was strongly
fortified. Our troops then surrounded
the mill to prevent the garrison eseap
ing and our artillery, consisting Of 9
and IL Founders, commenced an attack,
but could make no impre ssion on it,.
1t was then found, that another item
had been added to the long list Of army
blunders; and tina. the heavy cannon
had been ie/f behind. After receiving
a great number of discharges from the
enemy's ordnance, our troops were or.
dered to retire. Onr loss is yariously
stated, but estimated at about 100 killed,
and 200 wounded. They have retreat
ed to Rouss's Point. near the 45,b dc.
grceof latitude, where they are entreneh-.
ing themselves, but where fear they
aill be n.olested. Tie ice has all ron
out Of the Sorsl river, and the British
vessels are manned; and will probably
cooperate with the lard forces. There
are many who entertain fears for the sa.
fety of plattsburg, and even this place,
as at present they have the command Of
the Lake, nothing prevets their coming
but the ice, which still continues in the
Broad Lake, but which will probably be
dissolved in eight or ten days.

will have ample time to come out, do
