THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA

From Washington Irging'S neao acork, entitled
The Life and Voyages Of Columbus"
On the morning of the seventh of October, at
sunrise, several of the admirals crew thought
they beheld land in the west but so indistinctly
that no one ventured to proclaim it, lest he
should be mistaken, and forfeit all chance of the
reward; the Nina however, being good sail
or, pressed forward to ascertain the fact. In d
little while flag was hoisted at her mast head,
and a gun discharged, being the preconcerted
signals for land. New joy was awakened
throughout the little squadron, and every eye
was turned to the west AS they advanced,
however, their cloud-built hopes faded away,
and before evening the promised land had faded
into air. The crews now sunk into degree of
detection proportioned to their recent excite
ment, when new circumstances occurred to
arouse them Columbus, having observed great
flights of field birds going towards the south.
west, concluded they must be of some neighbor-
ing land, where theywould find food and rest
ing place. He knew the Importance which the
Portuguese voyagers attached to the flight OF
birds, by following which, they had discovered
most of their islands. He had now come seven
hundred and fifty leagues, the distance at which
he computed to find the island of Cipango as
there was no appearance of it, he might have
missed 1t through some mistake in the latitude.
He determined, therefore, on the evening of the
9Th of October, to alter his course to the west
southwest, the direction in which the birds gen
orally flew, and continue that direction for at
least two days. After all, it was no great de.
Walton from his main course, and would meet
the wishes of the Pinzons, as well as be inspir-
ing to his followers generally. For three DAYS
they stood in this direction, and the further
they went the more frequent and encouraging
were the signs of land. Flights of small birds
OF various colors, some of them such as sing in
the fields, came flying about the ships, and thew
continued to the southwest, and others were al

same direction The heritage which tloated by
the ships was fresh and green, as if recently
from land and the air, as Columbus observes
was sweet and fragrant as April breezes in Sc
vile. All these, however, were regarded by
the crews as 50 many decisions beguiling them
on to destruction and when on the evening Of
the third day, they behcld the sun go down upon
shoreess horizon, they broke forth in clamor-
Gus turbulence. They exclaimed against this
obstinacy in tempting fate, by continuing on in
to aboundess sea. They insisted uponturninq

CURIOUS HISTORICAL ANECDoTE. The
annals of the Turkish empire mention many
Kizlar-agassi who played great part in
the affairs of the state. Under the reign of
the sultan Achmet III. his chief of the black
eunuchs was the factotum of his empire.
According to his caprice, he appointed de-
posed, and caused to be put death the grand
viZiers and the ministers. One of the-grand
viziers, foreseeing the fate which awaited
him, resolved, at the peril of his life, 70 get
rid of this monster. He feigned one day to
be seriously i'll, and wrote to the sultan a
short note, saying that he had to disclose to
him most important secret, and pressing
affair; and that, being extremely weak, he
was not able to state it in writing, and.
therefore, humbly prayed him to suffer the
chief of the eunuchs to call on him incognito.
that he might communicate the business to
him. The sultan immediately sent the black
to the vizier. On his arrival, the vizier's
pages seized him, stripped him, dressed him
in the habit of the black slaves. which they
wear when exposed for sale in the market,
and immediately summoned slave merchant.
whom they enjoined to take The slave to the
bazaar, to put him up at auction, and, having
ascertained the price he would fetch, to bring
him back to the vizier's palace
The merchant, not knowing the eunuch.
punctually executed the order of the grand
vizier. Kizlar-agassi, seventy years ofage,
was estimated in the market at twenty-five
Turkish piasters; and then brought back
to the vizier. The latter then wrote sec
ond note to the sultan, the purport of which
was, that seeing that the eunuch directed
and governed the empire, he had-been de-
sirous to ascertain his intrinsic value, and
had caused him to be exposed at the bazaar
where, during five hours, only five and
twenty piasters had been offered for his pur-
chase and that, if his highness would deign
to contide anew the reins of his government
to the hands of black who was worth only
twenty-five piasters, he might do so if he
chose. This conduct of the grand vizier
made such impression on the mind of the
sultan, that he told him, in reply, to dispose
of the eunuch at his own pleasure. The
vizier caused him to be strangled

POETRY.
THE SISTERS DREAM.
M MRS. HEMANs

BY MRS. HEMANs.
She sleeps but not the free and sunny sleep
That lightly on the brow of childhood lies
Though happy be her rest and soft, and deep,
Yet, ere it sank upon her shadow'd eyes,
Thoughts of past scenes and kindred graves
oerswept
Her souls meek stillness-she had prayed and
wept.
And now in visions to her couch they come,
The early lost-the beautiful-the dead
That unto her bequeathed mournful home,
Whence with their voices all sweet laughter
fled :.
They rise-the sisters of her youth arise,
As from the world where no frail blossom dies
And we'll the sleeper knows them not of earth
Not as they were when binding up the flowers,
Telling wild legends round the winter hearth,
Braiding their long fair hair for festal hours
These things are past spiritual CLEAN,
A solemn glory, robes them in that dream.
Yet ifthe glee of life's fresh budding years
In those pure insects no more be read,
Thence, too, hath sorrow melted-and the tears
Which DER their mother holy dust they shed
Are all effaced there earth hath left no sign,
Save its deep love touching every line
But OH more soft, more tender, breathing more
A thought of pity than in vanish'd days;
While hov ring silently and brightly DER
The lone ones head, they meet her spirits
gaze
With their immortal eyes they seem to say,
" Yet sister-we love thee-come away "
Twill fade, the radiant dream land will she
not
Wake with more painful yearring at her
heart
Will not her home seem yet lonelier spot,
Her tasks more sad, when those bright shad-
ows part
And the green summer after them look dim,
And sorrows tone be in the birds wild hymn
But let her hope be strong and let the dead
Visit her soul In heavens calm beauty still
Be their names utterd, be their memory spread
Yet round the place they never more may fill
All is not over with earth's broken tie
Where-where should sisters love, if not on
high'

SONG.

Like one, who doom'd DER distant seas
His weary path to measure,
When home, at length, with fav ring breeze,
He brings the far sought treasure,
His ship, in sight of shore, goes down
That shore to which he hasted-
And all the wealth he thought his own
Is Ger the waters wasted.
Like him this heart through many trace
OF toll and sorrow straying,
One hope alone brought fondly back,
Its tolls and grief repaying.
Like him, alas see that ray
Ofhope before me perish,
And one dark minute sweep away
What took whole years to cherish.

WESTERN oDDITY.

At another time we will endeavour to
introduce to the reader the greatest oddly
in literature, with which we have ever met,
who lately crossed our path. If we would
convey to the publick the impression
which he gave us, it would allow that
nothing strange or unaccountable could
be met with afterwards. We allude to
a person to whom we were lately intro
duced by the name of Asheraft. He was
born in England, trained and reared on
the Muskingum, and had received, he
states, just six weeks school instruction,
such as he there found in the course of
his life. He calculated an eclipse with
out ever having seen an example Of the
mode. He writes verses, not very correct,
but some of them of great and thrilling
power. He is all nerve, and kindles to
tears while reciting his own verses. He
often meets with beauties on the western
waters, in comparison Of whom Laura, as
painted by Petrarch, was but common
lady. His most exalted flame died the
lady of another husband, though he inef-
fectually sued for her hand. One of his
flames, to whom he was welded, lives like
lady Byron, in a separate establishment.
He seemed entirely amiable, and though
talented, as simple as child, and deeply
imbued with religious feeling. He had
practised law in remote village of Indiana
had been, as he said, every where as
harmless, and as timid as a cricket, and
yet he added, he knew not why, he was
very unpopular, always in hot water, and
could not make enough of the law to pay
his board Yet this man, we suspect,
under different circumstances might have
been an American Robert Burns.

LoUBAT's VINEYARD.

The cultivation of the grape, so much
desired by every friend to the country, has
been commenced by Mr.. Loubat, gem
tleman from France, on much more ex-
teaa@;.-~ fl--. sl...-. beIIeye lIas o.s. hean
attempted in this part of the country. He
has purchased farm about five miles
from N. York, on the Long Island shore,
fronting the Bay, and a few miles from
Fort Diamond. He has already 35 acres
in one vineyard, and intends planting 10
acres in addition next month. Nearly all
his plants were laid down last spring, the
vines were all imported by himself, and
were three years old many of them have
yielded fruit this season ; and it is very
singular to see branches of grapes in full
perfection, from roots that left France last
January. Most of the vines planted, are
intended to supply the tables of the city of
New York. The fruit raised this year,
are the Black Hamburg, the Sweet Gull
land, the Chasselas of Fontainbleau, the
Oeuil de Tours, and many other kinds Of
the most delicious favour. Mr.. L. has ma
ny vines which produced ripe punches
about the Goth August, and on the same
stock, some second crop, out Of wood, in
July, which are now ripe. He considers
this demonstration that the soil and cli-
mate are favourable; Mr.. L. considers
the most critical time for the grape is at
the period of ripening, and as the autumn
in this country is most beautiful, he has no
doubt the fruit will always be perfect.
Those who intend cultivating the grape,
will do we'll to visit his vineyard, which is
managed like those of Europe, and with
less expense than the same quantity of
land is worked in this country in raising
Indian corn. He has now upwards OF
seventy thousand vines, which are in the
most fiourishing condition, free from mil
dew. blasts, and every other disease. Mr..
Loubat offers the greatest facility to all
who wish to undertake the cultivation,
and supplies the roots in any quantities,
delivered at any port of the United States,
At from 10 to rs cents root, with every
instruction as to their management. We
wish him every success in his praise wor-
thy undertaking.-Mass. Journal
