members OF Congress and others can, at

now undergoing some improvements, and
will in the course Of a few days, be ready

MISCELLANY.
----oN0

The following lively account of the present
condition of things at New-York, is taken
from the Republican Sentinel -
The lower parts of the city are quite
deserted /; and the once peaceful and
quiet village of Greenwich has become
the noisy, the tumultuous resort of
Auctioneers, Brokers, Merchants, Law
yers, Store-keepers and Merchandise
Every thing there appears to be turned
topsy-turyy-the noise of the shuttle is
succeeded by the jingEng of eagles, dol
lars and cents-the plain old sign of
<s Washing and Mending," has been re-
placed by the giided, fanciful one. of
g Stock and Exchange Office" The
housewife has been compelled to make
room for the noisy clamours of Going
going gone and the closets, where
ranged the pride of domestick system,
neatness and regularity, has become the
repository Of ponderous volumes of Day
and Ledger, and the smaller, though
more important, Receipt and BiIl-Book.
Every place up town has been put in
requisition to facilitate this migration,
from the parlour down to the immense
variety comprised within the terms
$ ediices, buildings, tenements, houses,
out-houses, barns, stables, heridita-
ments, and appurtenances :" for stables
have been converted into Dry Goods
Stores, and Importers have become oc-
cupants of cellar-kitchens. Banks and
Insurance Offices, Brokers and Mer-
chants, Auctioneers and Editors, are scat
tered helter-skelter, here, there, and
every where. Friend Coleman of the
Post, occupies an elbow chair in the
corner of temporary board shed, sur
rounded by compositors and printers
devils. Little Butler of the Mercantile,
is next door neighbour, and has on his
left, friend Lang, who may be aptly dis
tinguished by the far-famed bust of
Franklin. The worthy Editor of the
Advocate has usurped the place of the
corps dramotique at the Circus. The
American occupies the cold side of Flo
ra's, and so does the Commercial. The
Daily Advertiser and the Statesman are
tenants of the same cot, and we have
dubbed in the erection. Take them al
together, and such another medley of
chalked signs, and written labels, as an
index 10 the times, was probably never
before presented. The shutting gait
of the clerk, on his way TO the Bank,
has been necessarily increased to brisk
trot, and from the length of his journey,
he returns besmeared with dust, and his
shoes full of Greenwich sand. Every
body is active in his way, and all TO
much the same purpose--howeyer, a
short month, we hope, will restore
every thing to its former channeI, and
aptly compensate the enterprising for
the present stagnation.

{. Q.lando eolltemplo q eielo. !

Qetando contensplo ct eieio..n
fGAzE upon yon orbs of light
The countless stars that gem the sky;
Each in its sphere serenely bright,
Wheeling its course-how silently.
While in the mantle of the night
Earth and its cares and troubles lie.
Temple of light and loneliness,
Andsthrone of grandeur, can it be
That souls, whose kindred holiness
Nature hath fram'd to rise to thee.
Should pine within this narrow space,
This prison of mortality?
What madness from the path of right
Forever leads our steps astray,
That, reckless of thy pure delight,
We turn from this divine array,
To chase a shade that mocls the sight
A good that vanisheth away?
Awake, We mortals raise your ewes
To these eternal starry spheres:
Look on these glories Of the skies,
And see how poor this world appears,
With all its pomps and vanities-
With all its hopes, and all its fears.
Who can look forth upon this blaze
OF heavenly lamps, so brightly shining,
Through the unbounded void of space
A hand unseen their course assigning,
All moving with unequal pace,
Yet in harmonious concord joining.
Who sees the silver chariot move
OF the bright moon; and, gliding slow,
The star whose influence from above
Sheds knowledge on the world below;
And the resplendent Queen of love
ALI bright and beautifully glow:
Or, where the angry God of war
Rolls fiercely on his bloody way,
And near the mild majestick star
That DER the gods of old held sway;
That beams his radiance from afar,
And Gains the heavens beneath his ray.
Where Saturn shews his distant beam,
God of the golden days of yore
Or where the countless stars, that seem
Thick as the sand upon the shore,
From their eternal seats a stream
Of glory and of radiance pour.
Who that hath seen these splendours roll,
And gaz'd on this majestick scene,
But sigh'd to 'scape this worlds control,
Spurning its pleasures poor and mean,
70 burst the bonds that bind the soul,
And pass the gulf that yawn'd between?

It is singular that in a temperature so
changeable as ours, that bathing is not
more in use, and especially the warm
bath, as it has nearly all the salutary eff
fleets of the cold bath, without any of its
evils-in diseased systems, as in many
instances, the cold bath ought to be avoid
ed, viz. cutaneous diseases, checked per-
SEPARATIONS or fevers. Cutaneous and
various bowel complaints, are relieved
by the warm baths whereas the cold
baths would be injurious) which are
common in the latter part of the sum
mer and autumn-it may be said with
propriety that warm bathing is more
necessary in autumn than any season of
the year, because fevers are then more
prevalent, and as it is an acknowledged
fact that they are not only prevented,
but cured by the warm baths. Such is
the practice from experience in the
West-lndies, that as soon as the fever
months commence, they use the warm
baths almost daily. Would it not be
we'll TO follow their example, when it
must not only be looked on as pre-
ventive for the present, but it BELTS US
for the coming winter 1t is thought BY
some, that if the day is the least cool,
the use of the bath may render them
liable to receive a cold-the reverse is
the fact, for newly received colds are
cured by the bath in ninety-nine cases
out of hundred. The bath taken in
winter as 10 summer is luxury-it is
surprising how it inyigorates the whole
animal fibres, and how light and elias
tick it renders the spirits-L'.t its grand
Influence is in giving an energy to the
cutaneous vessels which enables us to
bear without injury the change of the
atmosphere, agd hence those persons
who accustom themselves to it, are not
only less liable to various diseases, but
enjoy much larger and more animated
share of life and health.
