THE SOLDIERS FAREWELL.
The clock told the hour Of midnight was come,
/, No noise broke the stiffness around,
When the Warrior must leave his long-loved home,
And contend for his native ground.
Twas an hour that called for his utmost strength,
Tho no coward in battle was he,
For tho oft from his foe not halbert's length
Ills soul had ne'cr urged him TO flee.
There stood his Mary, the wife of his love
Reclining upon his proud breast;
o how could he leave her! so hard-hearted prove,
And deprive such fair one OF rest'
Then, then were his children who listlessly hung.
And wept round their dear fathers knees;
And when they upon him so lovingly chung,
How could he their pleasure decrease!
But the sound of the signal-gun rang m his ears
A thrilling embrace Mary gave,
Then kissed all around his mi,,ntile dears,
And rushed on to fame or the grave.
His Mary she stood like marble stone,
Saw his form as the co,,se he turned;
She called on his name, but that spirit was gone
Which 'twixt its love and its duty so burned

were all assembled there, but providen-

Capt. Francis was an officer ofthe Con-
tinential Army during the whole Revolu-
tionary War, and was in the hottest ofthe
fight in the Battle of Monmouth on 28th
June ITS, exactly fifty years before the
day Of this thunder storm. The battle
OF Monmouth was hot and sanguinary
but, after the late thunder shower had
passed over, and many of the neighbours,
attracted by curiosity, were viewing the
havoc and ruins caused by the thunder
bolt, Capt. F. remarked that the Battle of
Monmouth Court House was nothing COM
pared with this storm for heat and fire and
smoke, and sulphur, and danger.

Col. Ebenezer Francis, fell in l777, at the
battle OF Hubbardston, fighting with signal
gallantry at the head of his Regiment :;
Gen. st. Clair had assigned to him the
post of honour, to cover the retreat of our
Army from Ticondeioga. Burgoyne de-
tached Gen. Frazier in pursuit ; when he
came up, he advanced impetuously with
the bayonet; the conflict was fierce and
bloody.
The lightning struck in several other
places in this town and vicinity. One
discharge of the electric fluid shivered the
royal mast of the new ship Mandarin, ly-
ing at Dodge's wharf, and forced the
spllnters the distance of twenty or thirty
rods, some of them having been picked up
on the Derby wharf The ship was not
otherwise injured, and there are scarcely
any other visible marks of the lightning
on board her. Four men in the fore
castle were Frustrated by the shock, but
not seriously injured.
We learn that the lightning also struck
a tree in Bridge-street, another in South
Salem and another on the Turnpike.
The house of Benjamin Crowninshield,
Esq. in Danvers, which is protected by
three conductors, was struck, the fluid
descending by the chimney. No serious
damage was sustained.
In Beverly, the Town School House
was struck, the urn surmounting the cupo-

supporting the cupola entirely demolished.
Two Cows, that were grazing in the

COFFEE.

Amongst the many subjects Of investigation, in this
age of improvement, we are glad to perceive that
those things which contribute their share in strew-
ing the path of life with flowers and in stealing
from care many moment of our lives, viz:
those things which are good for the nourishment
OF the body" receive due share Of attention but
Notwithstanding this it is wonderful to perceive
how many in these days, despising the light of
science, are still content to follow the customs
which have been handed down from generation to
generation until their origin has become lost in
the mist of ages; who never take thought how
those things which they are daily preparing for
their comfort or luxury could be made better who
go on from day to day in the same path which
their grandfathers and grandmothers trod before
them and regard any deviation from it as a sacri-
lege; who denounce every thing that is new only
because it is so, and without testing it by expert
ment.
There is perhaps nothing amongst the Injuries of
the table which is SO generally spoilt by this ne
ggence or wilful ignorance, as coffee than which,,
when it is well prepared nothing is more delicious
and refreshing, and when i'll managed, more fiat
and nsipid; it is in fact as Ben johnson describes
matrinony,
"Lke Jeremah's figs,
When good tits very good indeed,
When bad not fit for pigs"
To tile lovers Of it then, land who that has ever
tasted its invgorating favour is mott every invcs-
tgaton which will lead to any improvement in its
preparation, will be interesting for this reason
we hope we shall be pardoned for the length of the
following extracts upon this subject.
eff you have ever seen pot of coffee
boiling over strong fire, you may recol-
lect what fine odour was spread all over
the house, -most delightful to the smell,
and giving note ofgrateful preparation %
to every eye and palate which may prefer
its rich, warm, brown color, to the thin
watery appearance of green tea. How
woful, then, must the disappointment be,
after all this anticipated enjoyment of a
delicious treat, when you find the coffee
in your cup-brown enough, indeed, and
thick enough,-but tasteless, mawkish,
and weak ; the favour and spirit all gone,
and nothing remaining of the real stuff,
save the shadow, which mocks the lip and
palate with "unreal seeming,"-a flat,
fiavourless, baseless fabrick of vision ;"
the very corpse of a cup of good coffee
more likely to plunge you deeper in
drowsiness than to stir you up into renew
ed life.
1t would be very hard, however, to
blame the coffee, if you spoil it in the max
ing and the best coffee that ever grew IN

THE DEATH OF GRACE OSBORNE.
conversation.


Grace, agitated by these events, and
her slight form daily becoming more
shadowy, seemed like a celestial spirit,
which, having performed its mission on
earth, melts into misty wreath, then
disappears forever. Hers had always
been tho kind of beauty that is eloquence,
though it speaks not. The love she in.
spired was like that Of some fair infant
which we would fain clasp 10 our hearts
in its guileIess beauty; and when it re.
pays our fondness with cherub smile,
its angelic influence rouses all that there
is in heaven within the soul. Deep com.
passion was now added TO these emo.
tions; and wherever she moved, tho eye
Of pity greeted her, as it would some
wounded bird nesting TO the heart in
its timid loveliness. Every one knew
he felt the influence OF her exceeding
purity and deep pathos Of character; bu,
very few had penetrated into its recess

Melody was thoro, but il was too plain
tive, too delicate in its combination, to
be produced by an unsISilful hand.-The
coarsest minds felt its witching effect,
though they could not define its origin
like the servant mentioned by Addison,
who drew the bow across every string oI
her masters violin, and then complained
that she could not, for her life, find
where the tune was secreted.

WEEPING.

'Wesping philosophers may tell US,
as much as they will, tina! to smile, is u
fault, and TO laugh crime, which God
has forbidden. We believe no such thing
We are with Cesar in his estimation of
the lean and gloomy Brutus. Rogues
may look gloomy froman evil conscience,
and il want Of self respect. Hypocrltes
may affect mystery and gloom, for the
authority and consequence it may give
them in the eyes of their bind admirers.
They, who want intrinsic merit to create
respect, may assume soIemnity of deport-
ment, to preserve their dignity unimpair-
ed. We believe that God requires of Us
to abour for cheeriulness, and that an
honest and benevolent man, ought to
smile as often as he innocen;ly can.
Heaven knows, that these sun-shines of
the mind, will be sufficiently few aud far
between at the best. We are not afraid
of smlers; but we always beware of
Knights of the woeful countenance, and
them of the long and tristful visage.
