NETWORK OBSERVER.

We are not disposed TO interfere "meddle'' with
the controversy which some weeks since broke out be-
tween the N. Y. Spectator, las known in the coun-
say, the Journal Of Commerce is entirely different
paper under Lewis Tappan, Esq. from what it was
under VIM. Maxwell, ESQ.,. although the character
of the latter gentleman, as a man, lawyer, and a
Christian, f not editor, islands at an immeas-
urable distance from the injurious reach of newspa-
per detracton and calumny.---The Spectator is per-
haps more generally taken in this part of the country
than any other NewYork paper---the New-York OBJ
server is comparatively but little known. 1t is on this
account that we introduce, with few remarks, the
following extract from the former paper of the 18th
inst.
"The general character ofthe New-York Observer
has been an unhappy one. Its lntoieraut spirit and
dogmatica course have not helped the cause OF pure
and catholic rel giOD. Its rudeness to other re-
spectacle secs Of Christians, Is well known. WhaI
mora effects 1t has Produced may he tested by re-
ring TO the matter OF theatrical exhibitions. When
Inc Observer was commenced, there was but one
theatre IN the CITY, During its Nominations against

We do not envy the spirit which actuaied the editor
when he peuned the article from which the above Is
extracted. 1t certainly could not have been written
in candor or even with an impression that the asser.

REMEDY AGAINST LYING. A Chinese
silversmith, to whom the English gave the
name of Tom Workwell, brought home
some SILVER spoons, as he called them, to a
captain of ship, who had ordered them.
The gentleman suspecting that his friend
Tom had played him a trick, common in
China, of adding no small quantity of tu-
tenague to the usual proportion of alloy,
taxed him with the cheat, which he denied
with the strongest observations of his in
nocence. The captain then told him, that
he had brought with him famous water,
called he-scGter, which being placed on the
tongue of person suspected of telling an
untruth, if the case were so, burned hole
IN 1t; if otherwise, the party escaped with
honor, and unhurt. Tom thinking it
trick, readily consented; upon which, with
much form, single drop of aqua-fortis was
put upon his tongue he instantly jumped
about the room in violent pain, crying out,
Very true, half tutenague, half tuten-
ague," in hopes that confessing the fact
might stop the progress of the Ee-sUater,
which from the pain he felt, he had some
reason to think possessed the quality ascrib-
ed to it. Several Europeans, who were
present, and who had bought different piec-
es of plate from him, now put similar ques-
tons to him. and he confessed that it had
been his uniform and constant practice, to
add very large quantity of tutenague to
every article made at his shop, for which,
during the pain, he promised ample repara-
ton. -
When Severus, Emperor of Rome, found his
end approaching, he cried out, ~ have been
every thing, and every thing is nothing" Then
ordering the urn TO be brought to him in which
his ashes were to be enclosed, on his body be-
ing burned, according to the custom of the Ro.
mans, he said, "Little urn, thou shalt contain
,ne for whom the world was too little"
There was a no less affecting confession made
" dying Pope in the city of Rome, many
hundred years after, viz: Pope Plus the 9Th,
oncerning whom history says, that when dy-
~, he cried out despairingly, When was in
low condition, ] had some hopes of salvation;
AZ whom I-was advanced TO be Cardinal, |
realty doubted il and since / came to the
spedcus, have No hope at all"

THE PARTING OF SUMNER.
nv MAS. nEMANs

nv MRS. HEMANs.
Thou'rt bearing hence thy roses,
Glad Summer fare thee well
Thourt singing thy last melodies
In every wood and dell.
But in the golden sunset
Ofthy latest, lingering day,
Oh. tell me, DER this checkered earth,
How hast thou passed away?
Brightly, sweet summer brightly
Thine hours have floated by,
To the joyous birds of the woodland boughs,
The rangers of tho sky.
And brightly in the forests,
To the wild deer wandering free;
And brightly, midst the garden flowers,
To the happy murmuring bee.
But how to human bosoms,
With all their hopes and fears,
And thoughts that make them eagle-wings,
To pierce the unborn years?
Sweet-Summer to the captive
Thou hast flown in burning dreams
-Ofthe woods, with all their whispering leaves
And the blue rejoicing streams =
To the wasted and the weary
On the bed of sickness bound,
In sweet delicious fantasies,
That changed with every sound
To the sailor on the pillows,
In longings, wild and vain,
For the gushing founts and breezy hills,
And the homes of earth again!
And unto me, glad Summer!
How hast thou flown to me /?
My chainless footsteps nought hath kept
From thy haunts of song and glee.
Thou hast flown in hayward visions,
In memories of the dead
In shadows, from a troubled heart,
Der thy sunny pathway shed
In brief and sudden strivings,
To fling a weight aside
Midst these thy melodies have ceased,
And all the roses died.
But oh thou gentle Summer
If greet thy flowers once more,
Bring me again the buoyancy
Wherewith my soul would soar
Give me to hail thy sunshine,
With song and spirit free;
Or In purer air than this
May that next meeting be!
