With the exception of naval and military men. there is no class of community who wit ness more examples of fortitude and personal courage than the practitioners of surgery. What greater proof can be given of confd- ence and courage than that with which per son surrenders himself bllndfolded, and bound hand and foot, to the knife of the operators Every day in the week, this vast metropolis produces, in silence and secrecy, acts of he- roism. of strength of mind, and frmness of purpose that would have done honour to d Roinaa. I have wilny ssrd many in both sex es :; and although the first amputatiOn ever saw had nothing of the sublime or beautiful to recommend it, yet it affords an illustra- l ton of the observati from low life. of how much controll the mind may be under, even during great bodily pam. and the bitter an guish of even the loss of limb. "How do you find yourself, Mrs. Judy ?" said Saint BarthOlomew's surgeon, after taking off the arm of an Irish basket woman. "How do
 find myself! Why without an arm. How the ] devil else should find myself?" was Mrs. Judy's reply.
 In another operation, shortly after of much importance.the force of female character was evinced in a different manner. A lady ofcon- sequpnce--Of the highest order as tO int llec- tual endow wments-had occasion to submit to one of the most serious, ,painful,and protracted operations that the sex can be subjected to. Her case was subject of deep interest to all her friends-of the most bitter anguish to all around her. When the necessary operation became decided, she determined on the spec dy execution of it, and arrangements were made by her own planning, by which her sur geons, and myself. then a surgical aide-de- ca mp, were introduced into the house. and the operation speedily and successfully per formed, without the knowledge any of her own family, or the recognizance of any of large establishment, excepting her own maid.

MIR. RANDOLPH.

On Tuesday, March 95. Mir. Randolph, who is supposed to have been absent prepar- ing speech CD the Tariff, came into the House. apparently with the expectation that the Tariff bill was un0er discussion. That bill was not up. hut the bill for the relief of R. w. Meade was under discussion. He rose and spoke of divers thngs--the singing of birds; the appearance of vegetation; the sowing of small grain: the order of the com mittee on the rules t1 report prOposi- lion tO repeal the rule setting apart Fri days and Saturdays for private business; he invoked the friends of the Tariff to go home;

MISCELLANEOUS.
ADAMS Us. GILES.

It will be reccolected that in the recent Statement
of Mr.. Adams, made in consequence of the publ
cation of letter of Mr. jefferson, he asserted
that Mr.. Giles civilian B., now Governor of
virginia) and other Members of Congress, during
the session of 1808 wrote to him confidential let
tiers, soliciting his opinions upon measures in de-
liberation before them, the embargo, &C., and
that he answered these letters frankly and conf
dentially. MIR. Giles, in the Richmond Enquirer
came out Immediately with denial of any such
confidential correspondence between Mr.. Adams
and himself; and called upon Mr.. Adams, if he had
any such confidential letters of his, to publish
them. The following article from the National
Intelligencer is in reply to this assertion of Mr.
Giles. 1t will be seen that Mr. Adams really has
such letters he has stated but that he declines
publishing them, from motives of delicacy y
The original letters, which it is here stated were
at Quincy, have since been sent to Washington
and are now without doubt in Mr.. Adams hands
We do not see how he can avoid accepting Mr.
Giles's challenge to publish them. We can imag

gone too far in his declarations against the feder

it is obvious, to any one who remembers
the history of the times, or has read Mr..

God of the year,! With songs of praise,
And hearts of love, we come to bless
Thy bounteous hand, for thou hast shed
Thy mamma DER our wilderness =
In early spring-time thou didst fling
Der Earth its robe of blossoming-
And its sweet treasures, day by day,
Rose quickening in thy blessed ray.
And now they whiten hill and vale,
And hang from every vine and tree,
Whose pensile branches, bending low,
Seem bowed in thankfulness to thee 3
The earth with all its purple isles,
Is answering to thy genial smiles,
And gales of perfume breathe along,
And lift to thee their voiceless song.
God Of the Seasons Thou hast blest
The land with sunlight and with showers,
And plenty DER its bosom smiles
To crown the sweet Autumnal hours;
Praise, praise to thee Our hearts expand
To view these blessings of thy hand,
And, on the incense-breath of Love,
Go off to their bright home above.

THE BOON OF MEMORY.

" Many things Gnstcered me."-MANFRED.
go, go And must mine image fade
From the green spots wherein my childhood playd
BY my own streams
Must my life part from each familiar place,
As birds song, that leaves the woods no trace
OF its lone themes I
Will the friend pass my dwelling, and forget
The welcomes there, the hours when we have met
In grief or glee?
All the sweet counsel, the communion high,
The kindly words of trust, in days gone by,
Pour'd full and free
boon, a talisman, o Memory give,
To shrine my name in hearts where would live
For evermore
Bid the wind speak of me, where have dwelt,
Bid the streams voice, of all my soul hath felt,
A thought restore!
In the rich rose, whose bloom loved so well,
In the dim brooding violet of the dell,
Set deep that thought!
And let the sunsets melancholy glow,
And let the springs first whisper faint and low,
With me be fraught
And Memory answered me =" Wild wish and vain
/ have no hues the lovelest to detain
In the hearts core.
The place they held in bosoms all their own,
Soon with new shadows flld, new flowers o'ergrown
Is theirs no more !"
Hast thou such power, o Love 7-And Love replied
" 1t is not mine Pour out thy souls full tide
Of hope and trust,
Prayer, tear, devotedness, that boon to gain
IT'S but to write, with the hearts fiery rain,
Wild words on dust !"
Song is the gift with thee? -I ask lay,
Soft, fervent, deep, that will not pass away
From the still breast
Fill'd with a tone-oh not for deathless fame,
But a sweet haunting murmur Of my name
Where it would rest
And Song made answer go 1t is not in me,
Though calld immortal-though my power may be
All but divine:
A place of lonely brightness can gives five
A changeless one, where thou with Love wouldst
This is not mine !"
Death, Death wilt thou the restless wish fulfil
And Death, the strong one spoke =" Ican but still
Each vain regret
What if forgotten ?-All thy soul would crave,
Thou, too, within the mantle of the grave,
Wilt soon forget"
Then did my soul in lone faint sadness die,
As from all Natures voices one reply,
But one was given:
" Earth has no heart, fond dreamer with a tone,
To give thee back the spirit of thine own
Seek it in Heaven!"
