Literary cadet and Rhode-Island statesman. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1827-1829, 1827-11-14

A few years since, one Of the New England
States, was represented in tho national Leg;s-
laturc, by gentleman Of gigantic appearance
Of ordinary talents, and unaffected patriotism.
He possessed the feelings Of a true Yankee;
feared nothing human, but cn,ertaincd pc
culiar aversion TO duclhig. lie usually travel
ed to the seat of government, on horseback,
when his duty called him TO represent his ma
tive State in Congress. lie was very much
respected by his cotcmporarics, as a man o.
correct habits and industry. 81 %
I, once happened that in the course Of de-
bate, he made use Of sonc expression a; which
young southron took urhbrage, and in'imaiod
an intention to challenge tho Delegate after
the session, for an insult which he conceived
was intended for him. Tho honest i. !cgltc,
hearing Of this, and not wishing 20 be exposed
to the rideness Of this Hotspur, mounted hs
rihfl s,ced, and bid adieu to the city OF
Washington on the morning following the day
on which the House closed its SESSION. Ar
rived at PHILADELPHIA, he stopped al hotel,
with the intention Of passing the night there,
and pprsuing his !inhrney the nes' DAY; the

TENNEssEE. On the lst ultmo, the Hon.
torial chair Of Tennessee, when his excellcncy,
Governor Carroll resigned bis Office and his
honors, and on doing so, took leave of both
branches of the Legislature, in an unstudied
speech, which was equally credltable 10 his
head and his heart. Bat fow men, have pre-
scn,ed 10 the world, more unspoted, and
useful life than Governor Carroll, and few have
done the country more essential service. He
was particularly distinguished at the Battle OF
New Orleans, and throughout the whole ofthe
last war, was devoted TO the arduous duties Of
the camp.
He migrated to Tennessee, about the year
1910, and poor, friendless, and by dnt of his
own industry, enterprise and manly efforts, has
reared himself TO the distinguished Office he
so long sustained. with so much credit to him
self, and honor to the State. His success in
life should teach all, that talents properly di-
rectcd, and employed, never fail TO succeed;
and that in this free country, every man who is
possessed OF soulu Hlnu, Is ei'S'oi0 W 'h@
first honors of the people.
Governor Carroll lat the close Of his farewell
speech, thus beautifully, addressed the multi
tude:
Genilcmon-I tender to You ndy ydually my
sincere wishes for your prosperity in this life,
and for your eternal happiness in the world TO
come. In CONCLUSION, suffer me again to pre-
sent to the people of Tennessee, through you,
their representatives, my heartfelt gratitude
10, the unmcri.ed favors they have so often
shown me- ! promise, that while live, my
feeble services shall never be withheld from
them in times of difficulty and danger. And
when quit this world of care, if ] can leave
nv children no other legacy, shall give them
this parting precept. to live, and If necessary,
cheerfuly to die, for the liberties aud constiiu-
ton of their country. ...,.
The patriotic and noble sentiments, thus ex-
pressed bv Governor Carroll, are worthy oil re-
membrance. and are honorable TO him who
expressed them, and cannot too closely be imi-
tated, by others holding similar situations.

MARRYING WITH A RING.

The custom of wing with ring seems to
have been first borrowed from the Romans a
mons whom it was usual for the man TO give his
intended small token Of this sort, as sign Of
the contract between them The ring itself was,
70 Plinys time, Of plain iron without any stone in
it, but was afterwards made of gold and this, 1T
seems, The engaged fair one always wore IN
open sight as a sort of cGreat cnploy, or no

engaged. And, by the way, this practice was
obviously both honest and convenient, as it
served to put sober gentlemen on their guard
against the possible airs of coqnettcs And ac-
cordingly we tin:l that the good father Turul
ian allows the Christian Convert to wear il, and
says very beautifully Of her. d" she wore no gold

Gazing on thee,
o. like gilded insect, proud
In flattery sun thee
Is there not a dearer thing,
Than when a fop, with painted wing.
Too poor to bless, too weak to sting,
Dreams he has won thee'
Is it a bliss to think thy charms
Arc lauded ever;
That all would rush into thy arms
And leave thee never
o IS II not sweeter thought,
That only one thy love has sought;
And in his soul that love is wrought
So deep it cannot sever
Is it bliss to hear thy praise
BY all repeated
To dream around of sunny days,
Then find thee cheated
o happier the hidden flower
Within far secluded bower,
Whittier some mind of gentle power
las long retreated.
is it rot bliss to hear thy name
From lips so holy >
O. better than the transient flame.
That circles folly.
Ifthou art lovely, thou wilt find
Pure worship from SO pure mind;
And love, that will not leave behind

tRoM THE NEW YORK EVENING POST
THE LEGEND OF THE ROCKS.

A volume entitled the Legend of the Rocks and
other poems, by James Mack, has been put into our
hands. The author IS young man who has been
educated at the Deaf and Dumb Institution in this
CITY, and these poems contain numerous pathetic
illusions to the misfortune under which he labors
In reading the volume before us, we could not
but feel surprised at the circumstance that person
deprived Of the sense of hearing should always
give such perfect rhymes, and preserve the mea-
sure with such uniform accuracy and attention TO
the quantity. In addition to the merit of smooth
verslhcauon many passages deserve the praise of
beng written with great feeling and no nconsidera
bic beauty, The following stanzas from the Min
strel Bay Of the poems Of this collection, are ia
vorable specimen Of the work.
Earth thou art lovely-lovelest in this
BY woman-a.gel woman thou ait trod -
Woman, the centre of our ev'ry bliz;
TO man the dearest boon recei,'d from God;
Whom, if creation were condemn'd to miss,
Chaos again his desolatng rod
Der the dominion he has lost, would sway
And earth, with all her charms, become his prev
Earth thou art fair and glorious, but all
Thy beauty and thy glory are shade,
That low beneath the hand OF time must fall -
And Woman must thou too in dust be laid
All no! tie beauteous letters that enthral
The spirit, are only decreed to fade
The spirit on seraphs glowing wing,
From earth shall to its native heaven sprDg
Thine earthly shrine is but thy prson-st
Such loneliness is flung around thee here,
That as it beams before mine eyes, they fill
AT tunes, unbldden, with the tremuous tear
And through my bosom shoots painful thrill
To Think that aught so beautfn-so dear.
Should to the band of death resign its bloom,
trophy &c enwreath around tie tomb

HASTY PUDDING MANUFACTURED BY
STEAM

The steam grist mill just erected in this town by
DIR. Wadsworth is in successful operation. 1t is
finished in neat and handsome style, bat we have
not had opportunity to examine its machinery,
to its motion, and caunot therefore give particu
lar description of the mill. Its furnace is calculated
for anthracite COAL 1t ascertanedth it will grind
10 bushels in an hour.
To test the quality of the meal the proprieors of
this mill last evening gave novel treat to some humid
reds of citizens,at Wider's, by causing a
quantity of the first grst be made into hasy pud-
ding alias mush, which at 8 O'Clock served up to
the party, who stuffed their under jackets with this
rare dish. The tables groaned beneath large plat
ters of pudding, which sent up steam 10 the ceiling,
with full pitchers and bowls of new milk, and were
diversified with small vessels filled with moasses and
dishes of whor,lebcrres all combining to produce a
charming variety for the eye of yankee gourmand.
There no toasts drank on the occasion, bnt
the sentiments given by the company were unanimous
ly in favor of this production Of mechanical in
genuity, and It's delicious and nurtrtve fruit. The
guests from the table refreshed rather than ex-
cited and retired at an early hour, with admirable
