FOR THE SPECTATOR,
THE MoUNTAlNEEa.

THE M0UNTAlNEER.
Wild are the mountains my dwelling surround
ing;
Huge are the cocks that my vision assail;
Rough are the torrents that DER them are
bounding;
Deep are the shadows they cast in the vale;
And fearful the storiesmy parents have told me,
Of spirits in darkness
Yet stories of terror all they can ne'er h old me
From crossing the mountains to her that | love.
Rude is the pathway that leads to her dwelling.
Devious and dubious cen aided by light
High is the streamlet which tempests are
swelling;
IIoarse is the roaring it throws in the night,
And horrid the spectres that dance in its foam
ing,
And shrek as they turn to the murderers
grove;
Yet dangers aerial nor darkness from roaming
Shall keep me, when seeking the maid that
love.
But guardian of lovers thy hero protect now ,
Father Of. enterprise irmness bestow;
Light of this dark world. the true heart direct
now;
Mighty Magician the spcctres lay low;
And soother Of passions! the TEMPEST allay
now;
The oughness unhallow d ofstreamet remove;
Love ! mighty Love! hear thy s,tppliant pray
now,
While onward venture to her that love.
All! vanished the visions that grimly were
sowing
Lowered the tempest they aided to rise;
Fallen to murmurs the brook that was bowling;
Clearedflom theirmantles the starsin the skies.
And see through the trees yondcr candle is
throwing
ltrays-to ne brighter than those from shove
From the cot ofmy girl It's eiiulgence is flowing
Soon my arms shall encircle the maid that /
love.

FOR TIE SPECTATOR.
THE PREVAILING DISSATISFACTION
We statemen and philosophers OF fame,
ye ministers OF God, sacred train,
Ye sages tell, and blush with holy shame,
Why are We plagued with this unhappy fame !,
A pleban asl.s--wait not for reward
Where is our un;on--shcrcc this fell liscord !
Is it for want OF just and wholesome !aws'
is human slavery the DESTRUCTIVE cause
Here is the cause, Q tell 1t not afar!
That we who toil'dso many years in war
For treedom--ahd to breal, 3 tyrant's claims,
Should turn and bind mankind in slaYsh chains.
Why should the hoathen laugh, and England
say,
"What hypocrites are in America!
ether Inconsistency the world must see
"They talk abroad and boast oi liberty,
And publish for their creed. All are born
Free ft
"And hold million souls in eIaycryP'
(Onameless monster-hydra OF our world
First born ofhim who WAS from heaven hurl'd! y
We blush with shame, or hide our shameless
face,
To see our nation sinking in disgrace.
o thou great Sovereign of the universe,
Mighty, benevolent, indulgent Nurse!
Remove the curse-say to the slave, go free
Restore to us our lost tranquility.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES singular method
OF discovering the various disorders OF
the chest, by percussion, was. we be-
.evc- first suggested By Ayenbrugger,
a physician OF Vienna, who published a
work on the subject, since traaslated by

been presented to the French Academy.
by NJ. Lacuaoc, detailing the various
modes of employing this discovery
Among others NJ. Lacuned recommends
the use OF a tube, with ;hith sides, CT a
cylinder, pierced aiong It's axis with a
narrow aperture. This, on being appli-

who is speaking, or siging, produces a
sort Of trembling noise, more or less
distinct: but it an nicer exist in the
lungs, avery singular phenomenon hap
