MISCELLANEOUS.

PERSIA. Formal and ceremonious as
are the manners of the Persians, they are
distinguished for cheerfulness and vivacity.
In their social hours, when ceremony is out
aside, they are very gay ard happy. Men
of wit and genius are the lords of society
in Persia, and the aristocracies of blood
and wealth deem it their honor and pride
to bow deferentially to the supremacy of
intellect. A society thus organized, can
not be ether than agreeable. Poets, wits
and historians, give life to the festive circle
OF Persia, and the most common conversa-
ton is embellished by illusions to works of
fancy. The cline, the soil, are favorites
of imagination-it is in the solar regions
that she glows with the greatest intensity
and shines with the greatest radiance. All
around her is bright, beautiful and benign,
and if her conceptions be less sublime than
those of the dark and icy north, they tend
infinitely more to increase the sum of hu-
man happiness.
In one respect, Persian society is much
IN the vocatlve-it is not adorned with wo-
men. The situation of women in oriental
nations, is curious enough-as in all other
lands, they love and are beloved, but their
liege lords guard them like Jewels and dia-
monds of the highest value. The fair ones
do not appear to be unhappy under this
treatment, which after all is not half so ty-
rannical as is generally supposed. Although
the Persian lady is excluded from general
society, she gives parties at her own apart
ments, where her sway is undisputed. The
husband cannot enter the lady's part of the
house, without giving notice; and if she
choose, she can send him about his business.
The truth is, "woman governs the world"
and Persia is part of the world.
The government of Persia will always be
what it has always been-despotic. This
is the destiny of all the Oriental nations.
The fervor ofthe climate, the profuse gener-
oslty of the soil, give vigor to passion and
brllllancy to imagination, but they also
cause luxurious incidence of body which
is Incompatible with long continued exer-
ton. The land
"Where the citron and olive are fairest of fruit,
Where the voice of the nightingale never is
mute,
Where the virgins are soft as the roses they
Irvine,
And all save the spirit of man is divine"
can never be the land Of freedom. The
children of the sun must always be under
despotlc dominion-they may, and must,
rise in due time to splendor and power once
more, butsit must be under the guidance Of
an Abbas or Khoul-Khan, not a Washing
ton. He who raises them to rank amongst
the nations, must sustain them by his own

In that proud temple of the sun
Which rose to Heaven DER Balbec's towers
Amid the Affairs, there was one
Whose only offerings were flowers
When morning DER the glittering dome
Was blushing from its Eastern home
Fresh garlands to that shrine were givn
Of flowers-fresh flowers bathed in Heaven
And Persian Girls with deep blue eyes
OF loye-and clustering raven hair,
And brows as pure their own skies,
Were gathered with their rose-wreaths there
To breath their Orisons-and Irvine
Their garlands on that lovely shrine,
Whose incense at the Day Gods flame,
Rose to the skies from whence it came.
Beautiful there those bright ones knelt
Where morn's first holy light was flowing
Pure from its chrystal throne-they felt
The day spring in their bosoms glowing
With life and joy.as thro' the aisles
Their God came beaming all in smiles
And Love-Oh who could wish to part
From that sweet worship of the heart -
The Persians fame has persisted gone
The shrine-the worship of the free
All-all have faded like the tone
VI music o er the moon-llt sea
No laughing eyes-no raven hair
No dewy.wreaths are sparkling there,
Wrhered is every peerless gem
And beauty has gone down like them
But love will have its affairs still,
And there is yet worship born
OF hearts, that feel the joyous thrill,
OF light and beauty in their morn
Hope deep-toned music fingers there
Amid the roses-and the air
Breathes incense all-while from above
Bliss sparkles DER the shrine of love-.
Such be this volpme-let no trace
Ofsadness blight one leafet here
The hearts pure offerings to grace
And loneliness should have no tear
Amid their blossoms-but the dews
vi Heav'n should minge with their hues
And all things fair and brightest Irvine
Their wreath's of gladness DER this shrine

Dem Swift was once, accidentally, present
at Dublin riot, during which every missile
weapon that the combatants could obtain, was
very lavishly employed till at length, the fro
was nearly extinguished for want of fuel. He
saw, what others had overlooked, woman with
a basket on her head of oysters in the shell, and
requested very earnestly that the mob would
not use them as ammunition. This was enough
in the course of minute, every oyster had
found its way to the heads of one or the other OF
the opposing parties. Weallknow Cobbett This

THE RIVER MISSISSIPPI. The Misss-
sippi is in some respects the noblest river in
the Notwithstanding a large valley, and irri-
eating more fertile region, and having
probably, longer course, than any other
stream. 1t commences in many branches,
that rise, for the most part, in wild rice
lakes but it traverses no great distance,
before it has become broad stream. Some
times in its beginnings, it moves, wide ex-
panse of waters, with a current scarcely
perceptible, along marshy bed. At others,
its fishes are seen darting over a white sand,
in waters almost transparent as air. At
other times, it is compressed to a narrow
and rapid current between ancient and
hoary lime ,stone bluffs. Having acquired
in length of. course, following its meand-
ers, of three hundred miles, width of half
a mile, and having formed its distinctive
character, it precipitates its waters down
the falls of st. Anthony. Thence it glides,
alternately through beautiful meadows, and
deep forests, swelling in its advancing
march with the tribute Of an hundred
streams. In its progress it receives tribu-
tary, which Of itself has a course of more
than thousand leagues. Thence it rolls
its accumulated, turbid and sweeping mass
of waters through continued forests, only
broken here and there by the axe, in lonely
grandeur to the sea. No thinking mind
can contemplate this mighty and resistless
wave, sweeping its proud course from point
to point, curving round its bends through
the dark forests, without feeling of sub
limity.-F intS Western ReUieU

The following account of singular and impor-
tant arthmetical invention, is copied from the
Edinburgh Scotsman of Feb. 9th.
Calculation Simpiife d.-Professor Wallace has
invented very ingenious process; by which the
product of any two numbers, however large, can
be obtained and written down in a single line
without the usual labor Of exhibiting the product
Of the multiper separately, and then adding the
whole together. But what is still more remarka-
BILE. the operation could even be performed with
accuracy by person ignorant Of the multiplica-
tion table. Without the help of diagram, we
could not explain the process in satisfactory man.
ner ; but we may state generally. that the figures
are arranged in different mode from that conis
monl, used and that the products OF the indvid-
ual figures OF the two numbers are obtained and
stunned up BY means Of simple instrument
We saw two numbers of six figures each. null
tip!ied together, and the product obtained with
perfect currectnes,. On the same da, gentle
man, eminent for his skill in calculation, brought
the ntilit, Of the process to the proof, by try ing
it upon The following numbers, 27S364O519, and
5o46o75056.- product NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
SS5O56, was obtained without one mistake, and in
less time than was necessary to verify the results
in the common way, though this was the second
trial made Of the instruments
Men Of science will easily appreciate the value
of an invention like this. In the common trans
actions Of business, where heavy calculations ocs
cur only incidentally and rarely, its aid may be
dispensed with but to the mathematician in many
cases, anu especially in the compiling Of tables, It
will evidently be Of the greatest inportance.--
First, it saves that species Of labor which is in
every case, mere drudgery, and is extremely ep-
pressye to mind capable of better things and
secondly by reducing mental to a mechanical
process. it ensures far greater accuracy, and ena
bles the calculator To delegate part Of his duty
suits with facility
There are few inventions. however, the entire
value of which is seen at first; and we have lit
tie doubt that experience will point out many new
and important applications Of the process in
question. Of which at present we have no idea.

of the strong feeling the Representatives OF the

with which they watch over all the leading in
