snal poetry, diversified " himself" on moral SUBJ

possesses decided claims TO originality-its other
qualities may be gathered from the following ex

quite equal, however. TO the lines written BY poet

Voicano in Nezo Yoyk--The Essex
county Republican of March IL, says
that on Sunday last, about O'Clock in
the morning, shock was felt in this
Town, supposed to be an earthquake.
Some thought it 10 be thunder, others
supposed at the moment that it was the
rafting OF wagons on the frozen ground,
and others thought il to be the cracking
OF ice III the lake. In Brookirld the
shock was much more severe. But we
have Just learned from the town of Lewis,
thai it proves to have been volcano.
We understand that there is a mountain
there. whose bowels OF stones and earth
have been thrown out 10 the depth of c
hundred feet, and that smoke was seen
TO issue from the centre, for three days
afterwards. Ii is reported tina. similar
eruption took place there several years
ago we conclude, therefore, that it is
genuine volcano. Aud although VIC
do not aspire to The lame of classic
ground, il is demonstrated that we be.

There is monstrous project of a law

because its character was 100 mild
The following fact, which has been
communicated TO us, and for the aulhen-
licity OF which we can guarantee, tells
greatly against domestic animal which
is not sufficiently niisrusted.
A female child, six months old, OF the
Hospital OF Loan, under the care Of tho
widow W., at Aisse, (Aisne) was p.s
to bed quite well, al six, on the evening
of The 9Th Of last November. The
nurse having fastened the door, went out,
but did not return ill midnight. On OPEN
ing the chamber door The cat flew out
having been shut in there ell that time.
She instantly ran 10 the cradle of the
child, and found it nearly all devoured.
The flesh of the chin, the lips, the tive
checks, half Of the tongue, as well as tho
Lett eye, had been torn out and eatep,.
and there only remained few slight
traces Of blood on the cap and handker-
chief Of the infant. 1wo days after HE
little Tiger returned, and scratched at tho
door OF tue room in search Of its prey
We give publicity to this fact, that it
may serve as warning to all careless
nurses, who, ignorant of the natural fe-
rocily OF the cat, are not sufficiently alive
10 its deceit, and often place them in the
cradles of their little charges.

TIE USE OF TEA.

There are IA many opinions among
physicians in relation TO the use of tea,
as there are stars in the milky way, and
we are therefore in a state Of perplex-
ity in the ouiset--because our lucubra-
tons will have but little influence where
tea has many friends. Perhaps there is
no one habit which has become so gene
raj in commercial nations, as tea-drink-
ing, and although it has done no pariieu-
lar good in the world, we are not pre-
pared to say, in direct terms, that ii has
been strictly injurious II is no. less
strange than true that almost every per-
son, however peculiar the idiosyncrasy,
can use Tea and whether it is actually
loved OF not, every body drinks it as a
thing of course. There are many ner
vous affections which are nnquestionably
produced by excessive tea-drinking, and
many chronic diseases and even mental
disorders, aggravated by it, when the in
dividual is far from suspecting the pri-
mary cause.
When we find such numbers of aged
people, in the full enjoyment of health,
who from the earliest periods of child
hood have drank it constantly, and still
are slipping down their flvourite draught.
there would scarcely seem a chance to
raise an objection to custom, as ancient
as the Chinese monarchy hut when,
on the other hand, the mortality ofyoung
people, and particularly the unti;nely
exit of such an astonishing number Of
youthful women as every changing. year
presents, by au infinite variety of dis
eases which were wholly unknown to the
fathers of the healing art before the in-
PRODUCTION of tea into Europe, is taken
into consideration, we are led at once
TO suspect thattea has had, and still has.

THE EPlSTLE from the Yearly Meeting,
held in London by adjSurnmenis from the
18th of the Fifth Month, 70 the 26th of the
same, inclusive, 1925.
To the Quarterly and Monthly Meetings
Of Friends IN Great Britain, Ireland,
and eise9ghere.
DEAR FR1ENDs We have sensibly
felt the loss OF some of our dear and
honored friends, whose labors in the
work of the Lord have 10 former years
been blessed TO this meeting; and who
have long been examples to the flock
by the humility and piety of their lives.
But through the mercy of the Most
High we have been strengthened in the
humbling persuasion, that, in bis uufail-
ing goodness, He is still continuing to
bless us, and that He has condescended
to be near US in this our annual assem-
bly,. In the fellowship of The Gospel,
we therefore again salute you, our en-
deared brethren and sisters, wherever
situated; desiring that amongst you. and
in all the families of the earth, the love
of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
may increase and abound exceedingly.
Nav our elder brethren and sisters,
who have passed and are passing through
many tribulations and conflicts, continue
to trust in The Lord; in the full belief
that as they persevere unto the end,
their exercises for the salvation of their
own souls, and for the prosperity of the
Church, will, through the mediation OF
our Redeemer, be rewarded with a
glorious immortality. And we exhort
those who are in the meridian of life.
whose time and talents ought to be de-
voted TO the service of the Truth, TO
exercise sound Judgment in the fear
of the Lord, and to be firm aud stedfasl
in their respective allotments. And as we
have reioiced in the belief that many in
early life have Welded to the visitaiions
OF heavenly love, we do very tender.
ly entreat these to hold fast that where
unto they have attained; 10 wait before
the Lord 10 reverence and humility Cor
further preparation for usefulness in his
service, and with meekness and diff
dence, yet with zeal and fidelity, to pur-
sue the path of obedience. And o!
that we may all be manifesting our al
tachment to the genuine, Interchangeable
principles of the Gospel. An adher-
ence to its doctrines has been the sup
port Of our predecessors ; both of those
who were the instruments in gathering
us TO be distinct religious Society, and
Of their faithful successors down TO the
present time. The principles embrace
faith in that redemption which CORES
by Jesus Christ who ever lveth as cur
Intercessor with the Father, and in the
immediate teachings Of the Holy Spirit.

well, were affectionately desired TO keep

very humane and neighbourly, coming
from the quarter il did; though doubt

The "Wilmington Minstrel" has already
been SO highly complmcnted by you, that
fear any remarks from me in the form of
criticism, may be received in an unfavor-
able light. But when the nature and man.
ncr of some of his essays are considered,
his particularisns remarks cannot be mis-
taken and they have already wounded the
feelings of the fair. The muse might be
excused for his praise had it been conducted
in that chastened polished style which
should be observed by one sex towards the
other. Praise is due 10 every iaudablc un-
dertaking but when persisted in, until degc'
nerates into fulsome plattery, it becomes not
fit for public notice. Ifthis writer contin-

ORIGINAL POETRY.
For the WilminetOnian.

I seen the moon in glory rise
From clouds that veil'd the eastern skies,
And DER the earth her splendor throw
And brighten objects with her glow.
The forest tops, she tips with fire,
She lights the church's lofty spire,
She Furnishes the gentle streams,
And gilds the river with her beams.
Darkness fed scowling from her view
As o'er the earth her rays she threw,
While objects hidden long from sight
Spring into being with her light.
The starry host that shed their rays
Are lost amid her glorious blaze;
For when she thus majestic rides
Alone, trAnscendant she presides.
Astronomy with upcast eyes
With wonder at her splendor prizes
While numerous groups together press,
Their admiration to express.
So Virtue elevated stands
And unfeigned love forc'cr demands
Dispensing thro' the world its rays
While every creature speaks its praise.

THE POOR son OF GENIU

THE POOR son OF GENIUS.
I saw him, ragged and distrest
TO sorrow breath sigh;
Peace had departed from his breast,
And dim his manly eye.
For him no blazing hearth did burn
No frugal meal prepar'd;
Nor gen'rous housewife, in return,
His little pleasure shar'd.
The son of genius, doom'd to roam
On lifc's even,ful sea;
Alas! nor friends he had, or home,
But dwelt with misery.
His song is hush'd and broke his Tyre,
Swept by the rugged wind;
His muse recnes on Poesy's pyre,
And leaves her son behind.
And shall the son of genius die,
BY scorn's indignant hand'
Say, shall his harp neglected lie,
On fair Columbias land,
o never let it thus be said,
In climes of Washington;
But be tribute ever paid,
To Genius youthful son.
