POETRY.

From an English Kewspnper. Rise, freemen, rise, 'tis Spait our aid demands, Qick grasp yourams, andiDto bajUe rush, Fierce despots inarch their mercenary bands, CombinM the sons of liberty to crash. 'Gainst one great truth which Heat 'n itself inspirM That nations should be ruled by general lawsAlarm 'd legitimates, in league conspirM, Proclaim their tyranny a holy cause Truth? rouse the energies which tyrants fear: By these thrice arm'd we'll firmly meet the foe, TYhilst wites and children our devotion cheer, And e'en our daughters sigh with us to go Freedom the gloom of darkness has dispers'd Man knows his rights, and knowing, will maintain; The people sceptres gave in guileless rust The greatful nonarchs paid them with a chain! To arms, to arms! His for the human race: On (his great crisis turns the fate of all Traitors to man would every right efface, And by one deadly scheme the world enthral. By Heaven our gen'rous efforts are approv'd; The God of justice will hi. shield extend: To live with liberty to die approv'd Is nobly to fuliil our being's end. Hark! Liberty invokes let's seek the van Tbete let us g'ory gain or glory give! Without a triumph for the rights of man, Who, with the feelings of a man, would live? Anecdote of a Jewish Lady. Fiie learned Miukhard rclafceg the following story from It. Abraham Levita. A aracn commander of a fiet from Cordaba, in Spain, cruising on the coast of Palestine, took a vessel bound to Sobate, witli some learned Jews on board; there was' one eminent Rabbin among the rest, called R. Moses, father of R. Enoch, together with his wife, whose name is omitted in the story, though it well deserved to be recorded. It is only said of her that she was a woman of exquisite beauty; and the brue of a captain being about to commit violence on her person, she calls to her husband (who was within hearing, but in chains) and asks him in Hebrew, whether they who were drownrd in the ea should revive at the resurrection of the dead? He replied in the words of Palm lxviii. 22. " The Lord, id, i will bring again from Bissau, 1 will bring again from the depths of the sea." Upon which she Immediately threjv herself into the sea aud was drowned. The above anecdote is very rare, and it struck me with such peculiar force in reading it, as to induce me to make it better ki;own, by sending it to yrtur paper. It. discovers inconceivably higher views than the far famrd conduct of the Roman Lucretia. N. Orleans Iris. A chfck to human pride. It is rather an unpleasant fact, that the ugliest and awkardest of bruie animals, have the greatest resemblance to man; the monkey and the bear. The monkey is ugly toosolwe think) because he is like man is the bear is awkward, because the cumbrous action of its huge paws seems to be a prepnster ous imitation of the motion of the human hands. Men and apes are the only animals that have hair on the under eye lid Let kings know this. From the Indiana IntclL 1 CHAP rttll. 1st. lu the first year that

William ruled the land, tho wise men gathered themselves together at the city of Corydon, to consult of the good of the people. S, And when they had taken council, they spake unto William, saying, 3. Make us a book of tiro law that ehail be upright and just, and not corrupt after the manner of the former law. 4. And when they had taken council again, they spake unto all the people, saying, 5. When ye have gathered yourselves together into your cities to choose wise men and rulers again, then declare ye whether ye desire a new Constitution. 6. Then said I surely the wise meu hath done foolishly; 7 For if the people should ask a new Constitution, then how shall the book of the law that William shall make, be founded on the Constitution, that shall bo made after it. 8. And by this means shall the works of William be overthrown, aud the money which was given unto William be spent lot naught. 9. And when I Samuel the Scribe had considered all these things, I rehearsed them in the ears of the people. Samuel the Scribe. The editor of the Mobile Commercial Register, adverting to qualifications for office, and the modes by which it is not unfrequently obtained, observes: A "clever fellow," of sononous qualities, one who takes h gives a drink with familiarity aud sociability, too frequently stands the, "best chauce" in

a new country; while a man of retiring worth, modest merit, aud splendid talents, would be suffered to illume his own cot' agp, though qualified by nature aud education to do honor to a commonwealth, and adorn its councils. EXTRACT. "To enjoy the friendship of wise and good men, is no inconsiderable felicity. It con. firms the testimouy of our own hearts, and heightens the pleasures of virtuous self approbation; it secures us respect from mankind in general, who always judge of a man's character from the connections which he forms, and the companions with whom he associates: it, affords us an opportunity of enjoying the delights of social intercourse in their utmost perfection; it provides for us an inexhaustible fund of instruction and assistance in circumstances of difficulty; it ministers consolation to our hearts in the time of distress. Such is ihe power of virtuous friendship among men. "Row great then must be the happiness which results from enjoying the friendship of that Being, who is the only infallible judge and sure rewarder of merit." From the Hampden Journal.
