FOR THE WITcHMAN.

AT MOON LIGHT. Inscribed to M.
Look down fair empress of the night,
For thou hast oft my woes beguiled
Look down, and shed thy rays OF light
Once more on sad misforunc's child.
I love to watch thy chrystal car
Emerging from the orient sea,
And trace its silver beams from far
Til they shall sweetly rest on me
What heart so hard that does not feel
The sacred magic of this hour,
When he beholds thy radiance steal
In such a rich and filming showeri
There is witchery in thy smile,
That robs my soul of growing care,
And gives soothing balm the while,
That could gaze forever there.
Sweet lucid orb, canst thou not tell
What mystic impulse rests with me-
Why tits love>thy beams so well,
And why gaze so much on thee;
Tell why thy pure unsullied brow,
nameless something doth porend
And why fain would clasp thee now
AS thou vert my departed friend.
And why such quiet rules the mind,
AS journeyng DER the ETHEREAL plain
While solemn darkness steals behind,
gather in thy lingering train.
There is in thy departing raw,
A silent and pleasing gloom,
That calls my restless soul away
To muse on one beneath the tomb,
Yes, mould'ring earth, turn to thee,
And wake mp early joys again
Nor will bid remembrance fec
Though deep it gives my bosom Pan
How oft would thy fond heart reveal,
When gazing on scene like this,
Emotions it could not conceal,
Enrich'd by every virluous bliss.
How oft beside some peaceful stream,
Whilst leaning on this arm of mine,
Thon'st gazed upon the moons pale beam
And upon that face Of thine.
There was something in thy mind,
Squire, unearthly, calm and even
SO mild, benevolent and kind,
That spoke thee less of earth, than heaven.
And thy fair form is much ike hers
Who early fled this earthly shore,
To scenes of bliss-where nought occurs
To wound her gentle spirit more.
Like her, thou lov'st the twilight hour,
AS sinking in the shades of night;
Like her, thou feel'st the pensive power
That glows in Cyntha's mellow light.
Like her, Thy rich and gifed mind
Is ever willing to irnpart
Some soothing balm, in accents kind,
To cheer the deep desponding heart.
And when thy pleasing form saw,
secret impulse seized my soul;
ltrembled with sacred awe,
feeling could not cont,ol,
So much like her that's fed and gone,
Dear Lady, thou appear'st 10 me,
Cannot think her spirit flown,
Whilst may fondly gaze on thee
Let not this sad and humble lay,
Ere give thy gentle bosom pain;
No, rather Danish it away,
Nor rest thy eyes on it again.
And when far distant shall be,
In other chimes, know not where
Dear Lady will think ON thee
Whilst gazing on the moonlight there,

TO THE EDITopS

MI Forsyth is very sorry to be troublesome 10
'he EDITORS OF the National Intelligence, bur the
report OF the discussion of yesterday is inaccurate
IN some at those paris of il which relate to himself
Nif. r: Is reported To have said, speaking Of that
part ot the Presidents message which relates to
the purity OF his conduct in the disbursement, of
puoic money, "that he did nor conceive il in the
least necessary" that there should be an inyesti-
Cation.
MIR. Forsyth used no such expression; he GER
taniy intended TO express no opinion on that SUBJ
)ect. He trusts that this correction will not be I'M
oerStood as the expression of opinion that such
an investigation is necessary. Mr.. Forsyth intend.
ed and intends TO say ROthng about the necessity
or propriety of such an Investigation.
MI. Forsyth 10 represented to have said, "Eow-
ever sacred his person (the Presidential in the eyes
of the community" &c. The expressions were, or
were intended Ia be, 'however sacred his person in
the eyes of some of the comsnunity.' Mr.. F. hopes
ana believes that in the eyes of the Community, no
person is sacred.
He is represented 20 have said, the accounts of
the President ought to be examined with s,ernness
alter coming from The accounting officers IL am
no. satisfied that we should be able at present to
look with sternness n, his accounts" Sc.
Mr. Forsyth's idea has been entirely misunder-
STOOD. What he wished to say, and he hopes as
so understood ty the members of the House. was
that If the accounts of the President, were ex-
amlDcd, while in office, regard to their own cha
racter should and would oblige Congress 10 ex-
ammo them wt.h peculiar sternncss and severity
II was, therefore, his wish, that nothing should be
done but TO receive the explanation and the evil
donces of Mr.. Monroe's claims, To be passed upon
hereafter, when being of office, that sternness
and severity would not be necessary MIR. For
syths suggestion was respectful to the House, and
not unkind to the President what he is repre-
scnted 10 have said, was Il reflection upon the
House and upon the President. Mr. F. wished
that this subject should be disposed of in such ma
ner that there would be no room for imputatiou ON
the House for doing too much, nor for doing TOO
little. TN,o, J,tJ

WAsHISGToN, Jan. 10.
There was vote taken yesterday, in the
House of Representatives, which we regard as
favorable augury of the success of the bill for
the continuation OF tue Cumberland Road. We
refer to the vote, by majority of 10, to fill
the blank i'll the bill with the sum of15e, 900 dot
lars
The House was fall, and we consider the vote
as almost decisive Of the SUCCESS of the bill
The vacant places and privileged seats of the
Hall were crowded with ladies, and the gallery
was filled with the lords of creation, attracted by
the expectation, apparently, of hearing Mr.
CLAY speak on the oCcasion-in which expec-
tation, ii will be seen, they were not disappont-
ed.
Among the numerous auditors that crowded
the Hall of the House of Representatives yes
to-day, 10 hear the speech OF Mr. Clay, We OBJ
served General Lafayette and Son.

the ancient popular name for kind of
demon or devil among the Gauls, so that
this saying, the meaning Of which so few
understand, has at least its antiquity to
recommend it, 1t is mentioned in St.
Austin, De Civitates Del, as a libidinous
demon, who was charged with doing a
good deal Of mischief Of so subtle ma
ture, that as none saw it, it did not seem
possible to be prevented. Later DAYS

FOR THE GARLAND.

Tue truly interesting and instructive little paper call
ed the "GARLASD,'' that so few of the many origi
nal productions contained on its sheets should have
been contributed by the Ladies. Hearing many
express their wonder at this circumstance mas.
much as the Ladies specially invited to write.
and as the very title of the paper says that its esab
lishment was intended to give publicity to the effu-
slons OF their pens, and fix awreath of literary fow-
ers on their beauteous temples, l have thought
proper to account for this seeming phenomenon,
by supposing, (and fear number of my readers
will admit my supposition to be true,) that it is ow
ing to the very strange and less shameful neglect
which is paid to female education in this country
Females here are taught generally but the most in.
terlor branches of literature as if their minds.
which believe in many instances to be superior to
those of men, were Intentionally left in barren and
almost uncutivated state, lest they should by being
rendered fertile, detract from the glory of the men,
The course of female education so far as it extends
think good one but this course is rendered
shamefully summary | see no cause-I know of
no reason, why the female mind should not be as full
ly improved as that of man. Can it or will it be
argued that it is not necessary for them to receive
ooi0HeS CeiuCalOti, lIlaSLuCn as their services are
never desired Or received in the cabinet or fieldp-
To this would reply, that although not admitted
to these privileges-although debarred from asso-
eating themselves with the hardy veteran in his
councils of war, and the wise politician in the cabi.
net of state yet, duties of nature equally impe-
rous demand the cultivation Of the female mind
Do they not in the character of mothers hold in
their hands, were the policy of states, and the
fates of natons' Although the mother of Mutius
was never celebrated for act of heroism yet had
she not the credit of inspiring that noble Roman
youth, while on her natural lap, with the love of
country, which induced him, when detected in his
design to kill one of the kings of Etrura, who
engaged in against the Roman Empire, to
thrust his hand, when in the presence of the king
whom he had attempted to destroy, and from whom
he expected the most dreadful punishment, into a
blazing fire, and exclaim You see, sir, how little
regard the most studied torture which you can in
fict upon me, when acting in accordance with my
duty to my country" When reflect upon the
great responsibility of females-when we view
that impressions made upon youthful mind by ma
ternal care, are of nature as durable as the Alps
and Apprentices when we know so well that it
was on the natural lap that our beloved and mmor-
tai, and almost innnitable Washington was first in
spired with low of virtue of truth, and of moral-
ty-we must see its necessity. 1t is well known by
every one who has considered the subject. that on

PIN MONEY.

Formerly lady's private allowance was denomi-
mated needle-money; but modern times have chang
ed the word INTO P1n-nloney-a more appropriate
term, certainly, as the needle is now generally re-
signed to the servant.

1t is broad and barren hill, without any of the
picturesque beauty of Ovet, though loftier. On
It's side is pointed out the Acedama, or field where
Judas hung himself a small and rude edifce stands
on it, and it is used as burying place. But the
most interesting portion of this hill is where its
rocks descend precipitously into the valley of Hin
nom, and are mingled with many Struggling olive

of various forms and sizes no doubt they were
the tombs of the ancient Jews and are in general
cut with considerable care and skill. They are
often the resting place of the benighted passenger
Some of them open into inner apartments, and are
provided with small windows or apertures cut in
rock. There is none of the darkness or sadness of
the tomb but in many SO elevated and picturesque
IS the stuation that traveller may pass hours here
with a book in his hand, while valley and hill are
beneath and around him. Before the door of one
large sepulchre stood tree the brink of the

leading up to them; it was in one of these that a
celebrated traveller would fix the site of the holy

more just is hard to conceive since the words of
Scripture do not allow the identity of the sacred
tomb to any particular spot and tradition on so
memorable occasion could hardly err. The Fa-
theirs declare tong since became necessary to cover
