From the Life of Byron, by Moo!

From the Life of Byron, by Moore.
 Sir Walter Scott's Introduction to Byron.
 My first acquaintance with Byron be- gan in a mannerrather doubtful. l was so far from having any thing to do with the offensive criticism in the Edinburgh, that l remonstrated against it with our friend the editor, because l thought the Hours of likeness treated with undue severity. They were written, like the juvenile poetry, rather from the recol- lection of what had pleased the author in others than what had been suggested by his own imagination: but, -neverthe- less, thought they contained some pas sages of noble promise. l was so much impressed with this, that had thoughts of writing to the author: butsome exag- gerated report concerning his peculiar ities, and natural unwiIlingness to in- troduce an opinion which was uncalled for, induced me to relinquish the idea.
 When Byron wrote the famous Satire, ] had my share of flagellation among my betters. My crime was, having written a poem (Marmion, l think for thousand pounds; which was no otherwise true than that l sold the copyright for that sum. Now, not to mention that an au- thor can hardly he censnred fer accept ing such sum as the booksellers arc willing to give him, especiallyas the gen. tlemen of the trade made no complaint of their bargain, thought the interfer- enee with my private affairs was rather beyond the limits of literary satire. On the. other hand, Lord Byron paid me, in several passages, so much more praise than deserved, that I must have been more irritable than l have ever felt up- On such subjects, not to sit down cois- tentedanu think no more about the mat ter

YHNI1E subscriber respectfully informs his -a friends, and the public in general, that he has leased the celebrated Hot Springs on the W ashita, and in addition to the build ings heretofore occupied, he has several new apartments nearly completed, which will enable him to accommodate all who may favor him with their calls.
 Families can be accommodated with pri- vate apartments.
 These Springs are situated about fifty miles southwest of Little Rock, the Seat of Government of Arkansas Territory, from which place there is good road, and good conveyance may be procured.
 The great celebrity which these Springs have already obtained for the cure of rheu- matic distortions, paralytic affections, dis. eases ofthe liver, enlargement ofthe spleen, er0ptive diseases Of the skin, and variety of other affections, proves them to be very farsuperior to any other waters in the U
 In the neighborhood of the Hot Springs. are also several chaIybeate Springs of great virtue in restoring tone to the debili- tated stomach, and bid fair to prove sure remedy for that most distressing disease called Dyspepsia.

 To take last fond look Of the valley and theviliage church,
 And the cottage by the brook He listened to the sounds
 So familiar te his ear, And the soldier leant upon his sword, And wiped away tear. Beside the cottage porch
 girl was on her knees She held aloft snowy scarf,
 Which iioated in the breeze--- She hreathed a prayer for him, ! A prayer he could not hear But be paused to bless herAs she knels, And wiped away tear. He turned and left the spot
 Oht do not deem him weak; For daunfless was the soldiers heart, Though tears were on his cheek. Go, watch the foremast rank
 In dangers dark career; Be sure the hand most potent there Has wiped away tear.

TO BE CALLED
TIE EARKANsAss ADVOCATE.


 TEIEAREsANSAS ADVOCATE F T has, for years past, been the opiniaa of A many persons ofintelligence, living in different sections of the Territory that the interests and welfare of Arkansas, would bc advanced by the establishment of anoth. erpublic paper in this place. With a view to the public good, and with, l hope, a lau. dable desire to establish myself in business ] have determined 10 commence the pub. lication of weekly paper, with the above title, so soon as l can obtain from Cinein. nati press, and other necessary matesi. als.
 Dlsavowing any connection with par. ties, whose infurIate zeal, has, for years been reproach to our country, and has retagded her growth, the Advocate shall he open to all parties, and devoted to none.
 The Advocate shall be exclusively deyo. ted to the interests of Arkansas; its eel. umns shall be open for the free iaYestira- tion and discussion of all subjects connect ed with, or calculated to promote, the in terests of the Territory.
 In politics, republicanism is our theme and, as in Republics, the voice of the ma lority IS the ruling power, ] hold 1t to be correct, to submit with dignity to the voice of the people, Depreeating, therefore, the vilifcation and abuse, that have been, and still are, teeming out against the venerable patriot, who, by an overwhelming majority has been called upon to guide the desti- nies of the nation, will feel bound to pay to him that reverence justly his due. Firm. ly believing, that in all his measures, he will have an eye single to his country's good, | shall feel 1t my duty to defend his course, until satisfied that he is disposed to sacrifice that cause, in defence ofwhichbe has ever been ready to expose his life.
 Living in the Territory from my child. hood, I feel welded to its interests; and. under the belief, thatthe fertility ofits soil, the salubrity of its climate, its mineral treasures, in connection with it's nayigable streams, afordiBg at all times, a communi. cation with New-0 Orleans, require only to be known abroad, to attract an emigra- tion from the neiphboring States, sufficient l ly great, speedily to give us an honorable station among the States of the Union, portion of the Advocate will be devoted to typographical and mineralogical descripti, ons of different sections of the country. A portion of the Advocate will be devo- ted to religious communications, when fur nished, from all, or any denomination Q! christians.

plum ,-tae tylS6ctS ueStr0ycd uteat Gtts--- Besides this loss, the apples, quinces, cherries, and pears were so knotty from the plnctares of the same insects, that they were unfit toeat. When we think of the loss to city of twelve hundred bushels of such fine fruit-and from one farm only--we may imagine what It must lose. when, but for these insects, twelve thousand bushels might be taken to market.
 Asitis, veryfew persons cultivate any other fruits than apples and peaches; and these often suffer very materially, in certain seasons, from this very cause. in fact-so numerous have insects be- come, that two-tilirds of the apples have been injured by them during the last summer, and many hundred bushels of peaches have been rendered unsaleable in consequence of the gummy exuda- tio4s which dis6gured them.
 l have been for years employed, ex- IpensiYely, in attempts to destroy these insects, but have not yet been able to lessen their numbers. l have tried all manner of washes and fumigations, and have covered the orchards with as much of lime and ashes as the roots Of the trees would bear; and what seemed to promise most success, l have caused every particle of fruit to be picked up as soon as 1t fell.
 Thus disappointed, and believing that a remedy must exist somewhere-for these insects are neither poisonous nor invisible, have thought it best to apply to the different Horticultural Societies for aid-and as you was kind enough to interest yourself in my representations, and promised to bring the subject be- fore the Horticultural Society of Penn sylvania, have made the first direct ap- plication to you, trusting that you will not only bring the matter, properly, be- fore your own society, but that you will suggest the proprietyofis issuing circulars to all other Horticultural Societies in the United States.
 The plan which l would propose, is to offer premiuos for the destruction of these insects, and of such magnitude as to draw the attention of men of sci ence to the trial. think that a sum of two thousand dollars would not be too great, when we consider that two years of experienced labor must be devoted to the investigation.
 As to the mode of raising this sum, if nothing better is suggested to you, would propose that it should be done by subscription. would engage to obtain three hundred dollars myself-asling no more than one dollar from each sub. seriber.
 As two years would elapse before the experiment could be considered as fully tested, there can be no doubt, but that double the amount of the sum propose, could be obtained. The surplus of which, after the premium has been paid, might he held by your society, as pre- miums for the destruction of those other insects and vermin which destroy our grains and injure our vegetables.
 To assist any one who is willing to make the trial, l am willing to give all the information l possess. And as, by a laborious and long continued investi- gation, l have mpletelyidentifed these insects, and know their habits, l can much facilitate the experiments of those who strive for the premium.

MY LOVES AND MY HATES.

Hove the mortal who inherits
 A gen 'rons, lndependant mind; The few, whose own intrinsic merits
 Adorn and benefit mankind. hate the sordid, selfish many,
 The cringing, seryile, mean and base ; The tongue that lies to save penny; The knayish heart with smiling face. love the man who feels indignant,
 When whispered islanders meet his ear, Who cherishes no thoughts malignant,
 But aims to keep his conscience clear. ! hate the wholesale scandal dealer,
 The petty, sly retailer, too; hate the reputation stealer,
 The friendship masked dwith heartuntrue. ] love the man, whose noble spirit,
 Norwealth, nor power can debase; 1n whose affections humble merit
 Is sure to find a welcome place. hate the shameless ostentation
 0fhypncrites, and fools, and knaves; hate the thrst for adulation,
 The fool of kings, and breath of slaves. h short, love whate'er conduces
 . make us happy, good or great; Whatever in the mind produces
 4 tranquil, seif-approying state. l hate whatever can degrade us,
 Beneath the dignity of man Whate' efdsshonors Him that made us, tpr doubts the wisdom of his plan.

  frA- The following singularly wild ballad t found in the last number of the London Foreign Quarterly Review. Itis said tc have been written by young Hungarian Poet, by the name of Sodlitz. It is 9 second translation, having been transla' ted into French, and from that into Eng. fish. Of course, much of it's original force and viyidness is probably lost. Bui still the reader of taste will agree witt the Editor of the Quarterly, who con. siders it " one of the most remarkable ballads ofmodern times.''
 THE MIDNIGHT REVIEW. At midnight, from his grave, The drummer woke and rose, And beating loud the drum, Forth on his round he goes. Stirred by his Hcshiess arms, The drumsticks patty fall; He beats the loud retreat, Revellie, and roll-eaH. So strangely rolls that drum, So deep it echoes round Old soldiers, in their graves, To life start at the sound. Both they in farthest North, Stiff in the ice that lay, And who, too warm, repose, Beneath Italian clay Below tho mud ofNile,
 An meath Arabian sand, Their burial place they quit, And soon to arms they stand. And at midnight, from his grave, The trumpeter arose And mounted on his horse, loud shfin blast he blows, On airy coursers then
 The cavalry are seen, Old sqgadrons erst renown'd Cory and gash'd, ween. Beneath the casque their blanched skulls Smile grim, and proud their air, As in the bony hands
 Their long sharp swords they bear. And at midnight, from his tomb, The chief aWoke and rose; And followed by his staff, s4 With slow steps on he goes. X little hat he wears,
 A coat quite plain has he, A little sword for arms, At his left side hangs free. Ger the vast plain the moon 4 paIy iustre threw; The man with the little hat The troops goes to review. The ranks present their arms, Deep roll the drums the while, Recovering then, the troops Before the ChiefdefIe. Captains and Gen 'rals round In circle form'd appear; The Chief to the first word, Then whispers In his ear. The word goes round the ranks, Resounds along the Seine That word they give is--Fraace--- The answer--Saiat Helene 'Tis there, at midnight hour, The grand review, they say, sEs by dead Cesar held, In the Champs sElisees.
