ELECTRIC PHENOMENON.

A new feather bed was put INTO cold and
damp room, aud person lncautously went
to sleep in il, without the precautiun et hav-
ing a fire put in it through the day, to re-
move the tanpncss. Scarcely had he been
ten minutes in bed, when he iancied he saw
light issuing from his eyes; for this sup
position he had the best possible rcason, as
from the situation of the room, there was
not the least cranng or opening at which light
could be supposed % enter, the doors and
windows being completely Shut and fastcn
ed. He paid no attention 10 this circum-
stance at first, thinking Il WAS the effect ct
mere imagination; he bad like, however,
TO have paid dear for his temerItv. Feel
inr rather chlllg, owing to the state OF tho
room he put his head under the bedclnthes
70 increase his warmth he had not contln-
ucd longer than Iisc minutes IN this situation
when, on removing his head from under
them, he suddenly telt, as It were, severe
blow on the shoulders, neck aud head, ana
the pain seemed % run al0ng the spine 1t
the same momctt, aue flame flashed from
his eyes and permanent CIRCLE ct lambtent
light appeared to irratiiatc their sockets
Perfectly certain that no pcrscn was in the
room but himself, he sat up in bed for mo-
ment to reflect on the cause; as the light
still continued to flow from his eyes, he
Immediately rccoliectod that the bed and
pillows consisted of new feathers, and that
they might be in a highly electric state and
that the shock he had received must have
been from them. No sooner had he formed
this conjecture, than lie leaped on the foor,
and found 1t verified; the light in his eyes
gradually diminished, and b. fore five mia
utcs had passed, it was totally gone. llav-
ing no desire to repeat the experiment that
night, he went into another room for the re
malnSler OF the evening Some nights after
wards, when fire Was introduced into the
room where the pheno nenon had tu9k place,
and matters had been comfortably arranged,
ht weut to bed as bci3rc, and surprising L
relate, he experienced exactly the same re-
suits. lie had now 10 doubt ul the ftets, and
he WAS convinced that the shocks he had re.
! ccivcl were OWING t1tae electric state OF Tie
feathers IN the bed, ~ thcy were precisely
similar TO those he remembered to having re-
ceirel from an clcctucal machine, or

MODESTY.

To no period Of human life is Modesty
unsuitable, but at no time is it so orna-
mental, or appears with such captivating
charms, as in the season Of youth. With
out modesly it can never appear 10 all its
loveliness. True merit is always modest
and retiring. Beware Of indulging an
assuming air Of vanity, which exhibits
an obtrusve desire 10 shine in every cir
Gle. 1t always promises more than it will
be able to perform. Neglect or contempt
will be the Notifying consequence. Ex-
cessive solicitude lest your talents should
be unobserved will always miss its aim,
and be attended with more injury than ad-
vantage. When talents and integrity are
united in the character Of young man,
there is always sufficient penetration in
society TO discover their possessor, and
without any ofhcious efforts on his part,
they will be invited into exercise at the
proper time.

TIE VICTIM OF ISLANDER.

itfE ' IL ! I'M OF SLANDER,
saw her once, when her heart was CAV,
As Luna's beams on the ocean spray;
Her step was light and her face was fair,
Nor mark'd with the slightest trace of care
smile beam'd sweet from her dark blue eve.
Bright as the sun in cloudless SKY
Her beauteous form appear'd to the sight,
Like an angel clad in robes of light;
But, alb how soon did that lovely form
Bow to the blast, and bend to the storm
For the slanderer came, and his syroc breath
Blanch'd her roseate check with the hue of death
Hast thou seen the rose by the rude wind toss'd,
When its stem is touch'd by the dining frost
How its leaves will fade, how blight comes Ger
Its beauteous bud, and it blooms no more
O, then thou hast seen how the slanderer's dart
VIII foster within its far victims heart
How her cheek will fade meath his pois'nous breath
Which is freighted deep with the damps of death.
l saw her again, but the bloom was gone,
Which beam'd on her face like the blush of morn
gazed on her brow, and, imprinted there,
saw the traces Of dark despair;
No hope lit sme-and her sunken eve
Was drear the frown of wlntry sky
She mov'd not lmb-not a word she spoke
She wept not-oh, no for her heart was broke

in the female character, that one would
think shame would be sufficient to pre-
serve young woman from giving way to
il; for it is as unbecoming her~chafactcr
TO be betrayed into i'll behaviour by pas
sion, as by INVESTIGATION, and she ought to
be ashamed Of the one as much as the
other. Gentleness, meekness, and pa
thence, are her peculiar distinctions, and
an enraged woman is one Of the most dis
gushing sights in human nature.

The North American Review says, in speaking of
the following lines, " If he who reads it is lover al

not, he will determine to become one forthwith
There is devotion and delcacy about t, an ardent
and at the same time respectful and spiritual pas
sion breathed out in it, which must ensure for it
ready admiration

Then from some rock or height he views
Ills feecy flock and teeming cows,
Then tunes his reed, invokes his muse
That waits his humble call.
Then through some shady myrtle groves,
A faithful scene of rural loves,
And warbling birds on blooming boughs,
Afford fresh delight
Then 0 how pleasant is this life,
BLESSED with chaste and loving wife.
And children pratting, free from strife,
Around his fire at night.

a HEALTH.

flPd the cup to one made up
Of loveliness alone,
\ woman, of her gentle sex
The seeming paragon
To whom the better elements
And kindly stars have given,
a form, SO fair, that, like the air,
Ills less of earth than heaven.
Her every tone is music's own,
Like those Of morning birds,
And something more than melody
Dwells ever in her words
The coinage Of her heart are they.
And from her lips each flows,
As one may see the burthened bee
Forth issue from the rose.
Affections are, as thoughts to her
The measures of her hours
Her feelings have the fragrancy,
The freshness OF young flowers;
And lovely passions, changing oft,
So fill her, she appears
The image of themselves by turns,
The idol of past years
Of her bright face one glance will trace
A picture on the brain.
And of her voice in echning hearts
y SOUND must long remain
But memory such as mine IF her,
So very much endears,
When death is nigh, my latest sigh
Will not be life but hers
flPd this cup to one made up
of loveliness alone,
A woman, Of her gentle sex
The seeming paragon
Her health and would on earth there stoo,
Some more of such frame,
That life might be all poetry,
And WEAKNESS a name.

GALL4rIN, (rEx.) OCT. so, 1925.
Mn. GALLAHER--I send you two songs, 'THE
RI RAJ CLowN," and " MYRA." The former, be-
heyc has never been in print: they the etfusons
of the poetcal geslus of Mrs. MARGARET SMITH, in
her old age. They were written (say forty wears
sncc) in Kentucky. She was the wife of Colonel
James Smith, who taken prisoner by The In
di&ns few days before Braddock's defeat, and was
detained with them about five years The Colonel
IS known, Also as being Captain of the Black Bays,
in the days that tried mems souls" W.
THE RURAL CLOWN
Thus happy lives the rural clown,
Flat, far removed from noise of town,
Contemns the glories of a crown,
And in his safe retreat,
He's pleased in his low degree;
He's rich in decent poverty;
From strife, from care, from business free,
At once 1oth good and great.
No drum disturbs his morning sleep;
He fears dangers from the deep,
No noisy laws OF courts can keep
NeXati0n on his mind -
No trumpqts rouse HIM to the war,
No hopes can bribc, no threats can dare,
From state intrigues lie holds atar,
Ana lyetn unc0ntined.
Then by some pulling stream he HES,
And angles with his hook and fl cs
Amidst tho,c s> Ivan scenes he tries
lis spults to regale

BLESSED with ChaSe and loving wife,
And children prattlng, free from Strife,
Around his fire at ght
MYRA.
The world, my dear Myra, is full ofdeccit,
And friendships Jewel we seldom can meet,
How strange does seem, that in searching around,
The source of contentments so rare to be found
o friendship! thou balm, and rich sweetness ofhfe,
Kind parent of ease, and composer of strife,
without thee, alas what are riches and power
But empty delusons-the joy Of an hour.
How much to be praised and csteem'd is a friend,
On whom We may always with safety depend
Our ioy when extended, will always increase,
And grlefs when disorder'd are hush'd into peace.
0 friendship, &c.
While fortune is smiling whole crowds will appear,
Their kindness to offer and friendship sincere;
Yetchange but the prospect, and point out distress
No longer to court you they'll eagerly press,
0 friendship, &c.
THE MOTHERS REMONSTRANCE.
Hast thou well my counsels weghd.
Show not that gay cockade g.
have watch'd thy tender years,
With mothers hopes and fears
| should yield thee up with tears.
Thou would'st only live for fame
Thou would'st win hero's name
But thou know'st not what know
have seen the realms Of wo,
Where the soldiers laurels grow.
Can'st thou thirst and famine bear,
Yet march on with cheerful air
Can'st thou stand the autumn's rain,
On a cold and marshy plain,
When thy gallant heart is vain
When thy comrades round thee fall,
When IT'S death and tumult all,
Can'st thou then untroubled stand,
With thy reason at command,
For to thy SHATTERED band
Can'st thou die, as soldiers die,
Give to love thy last sad sigh,
Then, mid dead and dying cast,
Feel thy dreams of glory past
Yet contented breathe thy last
1t was thus thy father fell
could ne'er the story tell
But see his image now,
With the death-blood on his brow =
Isurviv'd know n?t how
Twas for thee that life was DEAR
But my words thou wilt not hear
And the fire, ev'n while speak,
Nantes higher thy cheek,
TO reproach my tondness weak
Oh on thu embattled field,
May the G6d Of Battles shield
Thee, the soldiers widows son 60
Return with laureIs Won
Or His righteous viii be done.
