MISCELLANY.

From tbe New-Eogland Palladium. UtRS. ADAMS WELCOME TO GEN. JACKSON. A-tvoicome, Chieftain, to these balli! . i b e doors are opening joyously And loud the voice of millions calls Tuee to tby glorious destiny: A welcome, Patriot, to this domje, Where care, before thee long a guest, Hath made these marble walU its homo, Aod broke the hours of balmy rest. Come on Fame's sounding pinion borne, Tby guardian eagle's sun-bright wing, With laurels tbou hast justly worn, Come to a nation's welcoming; Aod let the star-sown banner wars O'er him of Orleans, sternly good, Who sent ids Lion to bis grave, Where Mississippi rolls it fljod. 'Tit meet fir thee to stand where first Immortal ashinotow arose His broiv stilt dark mib battle dust, And veng-jaiic to ms country's foes But where is she the better one Oa wnouj to lean tby weary bead, "Wo en toiis and council cares have done, And thou bast sought a quiet bed? Plepale is glory's coronet, Wiko site, the lov'd one, cold in dealb, Hath seen the earth's bright sunbeams set, Aod drawn, in other worlds, ber breath f Aii, Coieftaiu! Here thy banner clings la saduess round the standard spear Nor gives its empire drapery wings To gild a world's wide atmaspoere, F. From the Boston Daily Advertiser. We find the following lines in the Waldo (Me.) Democrat, but know nothing oi their origin. THE TIMES. The times the times 1 say the limes Are gett'iog worse than everj, The good old way our fathers tried Shall grace their children never The hoiuely hearth of honest mirth i be traces of their plough Ttte places of their worshipping, Are aii forgotten now. Farewell, tbe farmer's honest looks Aod independent mmr The tassel of his waving corn The blossom of tbe bean The turnip top and pumpkin viae i'he products of bis toil, Have given place to flower pots, Aod plants of foreign soil. Farewell, tbe pleasant busking night la ojerrjr after scenes. When Indian pudding so: eked beside The great pot of beans; When lasses joined the social band, lur once auected fear, But had a prttty ciier.k to kiss , For every crimson ear. AflVcled-modesty was not I be test of virtue then, Aod few took pains to soon away At the f ight of ugly meo For well they knew the purity U'hich woman's-life should- owc Depends not c$ appearances, . But on the hear.' alone. Farewell to all the buoyancy I he openness of youth Tbe confidence of kindly hearts Tbe consciousness of truth The natural tone of sympathy Tbe language of the heartNow curbed by fashion's tyranny, Or turned aside by art. Farewell, the jovial quilting match Tbe song and merry play Tbe whirling of the pewter plate The many pawns to pay Tbe mimic marriage brought about By leaping o'er the broom The good old play of blind man's buff Tbe laugh that shook tbe room. Farewell the days of industry The time has glided by, When pretty bands were prettiest At makn pumpkin pie When wailing maids were needed net, And morning brought along The music of the spinning wheel, And milkmaid's careless song. Ah! artless days of innocence Your dwellings are no more And we are turning from tbe path Our fathers trod of yore The homely bearth o honest mirth Tbe traces of the plough The places of their worshipping, Are all forgotten now. The following interesting account of the celebrated Whirlpool, on the coast of Korway, was communicated in a letter from Capt. Doane, in 1825, to the late Hfn. A. B. Woodward, Judge of Middle Florida, and has been found among many other curious papers he left on file: The Maelstrom Whirlpool. This wonderful phenomenon, that has excited the Tvonder and astonishment of the world, J have seen. There are few of my countrymen who have had the opportunity in consequence of the situationofit being remote from any port of commerce. Its latitude and longitude I do not extctl) recollect. It is situated between two islands belonging to a group of the coast of NorwT, called the LovinstafTIslands, between Drontheim, (being the "'most ai a husking, Viss all round,' ig the re'rl for every rrd er of corn, of course theris - !wv8 a sc-nmhk for these passports to f our. Tbt- pood otured girl generally contrives in throw such M she may find, into th way of in, rustic Lesu who is nearest to the hcjfcft, lidv

northern port of commerce) and the north cape. I suppose the latitude to be about G9 north, but will not be certain. I had occasion some year since to navigate a ship from the north cape to Drontheim, nearly all the way between the islands or rocks and the main. On inquiring of my Norway pilot about the practicability of running near the whirlpool, he told me that with a good breeze it could be approached near enough for examination without danger. I at once determined to satisfy myself. We began to near it about ten A. M. inf the month of September with a fine trade wind at northwest. Two good seamen were placed at the helm the mate on the quarfer deck, and all hands at their

stations for working ship, and the pilot standing on the bowsprit, between the night heads. f went on the maintopsail yard with a good glass, I had been seated but a few moment?, when my ship entered the dish of the whirlpool the velocity of the wa ter altered her course three points towarn me centre, aitnougti sue was gotntretPht knots through the water. This alarmed me extremely. For a moment I thought that destruction was inevitable. She, however, answered her helm sweet-1 Iv, and we run along the edge the

waves foaming around us in every form,!" akrd hougus and steDis, cause trie areawhile she was dancing gaily over them. Iry image of winter to succeed, in an in-

fhe sensations I experienced are cult to describe. Imagine to vourselfan'W immense circle running round, of a

eterof one and a half miles, the veluci-(traverse more rapidly a desert soil, the ly increasing as it approximated towards (heaven? may literally be said to be obthf centre, and gradually changing jisjsruivrl by tlvm. Should the inhabi-

dark blue, colour to white foami .".hints oig pi!? and trendies, and (ill them

tumbling, and rushing to its vortex very much concave, as much so as ;f," wt ter in a funnel when half runout. The noise, too, hiing, roaring and dashing all pressing on the mind at or.ee presented the most awful, grand, and solemn sight I ever experienced. We were

i sight of it two hours. It is evident !v subterranean passage, that leads the Lord knows where. From its magnitude, ! shouid not doubt, that instant ck'etruction would be the fate of a dozen of our largest ships, were they drawn in at the same moment. The pilot says, that several vessels have been sucked down and that whales have also been destroyed: the Mist I think probable enough, but i rather doubt the latter. I have thus, Sir, given you a lame but true account. The Spider. Of all the insect tribes, this is assuredly the most curious. First, the Barbary ?pider, which is as large as a man's thumb. This singular creature carries its offspring in a bag like a gipsy. Daring '.heir nonage the young folks reside there altogether, coming out occasionally for recreation. In requital fo; this kindness on the part of their nurse, the young spiders, when they are full grown, l-ecomc mortal foes to their parent, attack hsr with violence, and if they are cc nquerors, dispose of the body as a fit subject for their next meal. Then there is the American spider, covered all over with hair, which is so large as to be able to destroy small birds, and afterwards devour them; and also the common spider, whose body looks like a couple of peninsulas with an isthmus (its back) between. Europe furnishes two instances of the existence of sliders, which may justly compete with those described by our trans-Atlantic brethren. It is said that tike sexton of the St. Eustace, at Pans, was surprised at very often discovering n certaiu lamp extinct in the morning. The oil appeared regularly consumed. He sat up several nights in order to discover the cause of its myste rious disappearance; at last he saw a spider of vast size come down the chain or cord, and drink up all the oil. A spider of enormous dimensions was also seen in the year 1751, in the cathedral church at Milan. It was observed to feed on the oil of the lamp. It was killed, when it weighed four pounds! and afterwards sent to the Imperial Museum at Vienna. As the devastations ofLocusfs, are often mentioned in the Sacred Scriptures, we think we shall gratify our Biblical readers by inserting the following article from Home's Introduction. Of these insects there are different kinds. The predatory locusts are lar ger than those which sometimes visit tbe southern parts of Europe, being five or six inches long, and . thick as a man's finger. From their heads being shaped like that of a horse, the prophet Joel says that they have the appearance of horses ; and on account of their celerity they are compared to horsemen on full gallop; and also to horses prepared for b it:!e. The locust has a large open mouth; and in its twojawsithas four incisive teeth, which traverse each other like scissors and fromtheir mechanism ar calculated to grasp and cut every thing of which they lay hold. These teeth are so sharp and strong, that the prophet, by a bold figure, terms them the teeth of a great lion. In order to mark the certainty, va riety, and extent of the depredations of the locusts, not fewer than eight or nine different appellation?,expressive of their nature, are given them in the sacred writings,

near it about eighteen minutes and ioMhc

The quantity of these insects (to whose devastations Syria, Egypt, and Persia together with the vhole middle part of Asia are subject) is incredible to any person who has not himself witnessed their astonishing numbers. Their

numerous swarms, like a succession of clouds, sometimes extend a mile in length, and half as much in breadth, darken the horizon, and intercept the light of the sun. Should the wind blow brisk ly so that the swarms are succeeded byothers, they aiford a lively idea of that similitude of the Psalmist of being tossed up and dorcn as the locutts. Wherever they alight, the land is covered with them for the space of several leagues, and sometimes they form a bed six or seven inches thick. The noise which they make in browsing on the trees and herbage, may be heard at a great distance, and resembles that of an army foraging in secret, or the rattling of hail stones. The Tartars themselves are a less destructive enemy than these little animals; one would imagine that fire had followed their progress. Fire itself, in I . -II TITi (deed, consumes not so rapidly, vvnerev ,'er their myriads spread, the verdure of Ihe country disappears as it a covering had been removed ;tree and plants strip'ped of their leaves and reduced to their diffi-it:ntj to the nth scenery of the spring ben thee clouds ot locusts take their

diam-jfl'ght, lo surmount any obstacle, or to

vith watei, or kindle tires ot stubble therein, to destroy them, rank presses on rank, fill tip the trenches and ex mguishe he fires. Where these swarms are cx'f 'm0!) numerou8, they climb over every 'hingia their way, enterieg 'he in most recesses of the houses, adhering to verv cl J-ee of the inhabitants, and I; ri! r i li i: I 4u t iniesiuig uieir k'hi. rimy inairs u:ii9 in souit: parts of Ethiopia, the inhabitants iived upon nothing hut locusts salted, and dried in the smoke; and that, tbe Partis ans accounted th n a uie isaot article of food. The model' Arabs catch great quantities of locusts, of which they prepare a dish by boiliog lb m with salt, and nr'xi.:g a little oi!, butter, or fat; sometimes the) toas 'rtem before a fire, or soak them in war m watt r, and without any other culinary prea es, devour almost every part except .'he wings. They are a!sv said to be sometimes pickled in vinegar. T' e I cuts which formed part of John the Baptist'- ioud, were these insects, and not the fruit of the locust tree. From the Philanthropist.

of my Creator, capable ot rational j.yuient, of imparting happiness to others!' and promoting the glory ot Led, know and acknowledge my ace ) Jiitahihty ; yet such is my fondn 6? fj sensual gratification, and toy utter indisposition to resist temptation, that I giv? up myself entirely to intemperance and its associate vices, and make the following beque?s: My property I give to di?sipation, knowing it will soon fall into the hands of the who furnish me with ardent spirits. My reputation, already tottering on a sandy foundation, I give to destruction. I give my ability to he useful and hap-! py in life, to annihilate n. To my beloved wife, who ha cheered me so far in the path of life, I give shame, poverty, sorrow, and a broken h art. To each of my children I bequeath my example, and the inheritance of the ehnme of their father's character. Finally, I give my body to disease, misery and early dissolution, and my soul that can never dif, to the disposal of that God, whose mnrcy I have abused, whose commands I have broken, and who has declared that no drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of heazen S. Three Irishmen who drank prett) freely of whiskey at a tavern in Dublin, were loud in their praise of its virtue?, as they reeled along the banks ot the JLitfy. One of them had just declared that "Whiskey was meat and drink to a man," when his foot slipped and he fell into the river. uThere, Pat, said one of his friends, you are fully provided for; you had meat and drink, and now you have got washing and lodging. The Clenvelanrl Herald mentions the marriage of Mr. Samuel Curtis to Miss S .!ly Murphy, of Medina county, af;er a tedious courtship of fifteen years, which was borne with christian fortitude and patience. We trust their christian fortitude and patience are not exhausted. They are articles much needed, -e have beard, in the blessed state of matrimony. Cm. CAron.

Steaks. People who want to enjoy steak should eat it with shalotsand tarragon. Mr. Cobbett says, that an orthodox clergyman once told him, that he and six others once ate some beefsteaks with shalots and tarragon, and they "voted unanimously, that beef steaks were never so eaten before." There is a Jewsharp in Worcester which weighs more than lOOpounds, and is two feet in length. It was sent by a society in Gardiner, Me. to the Antiquarian Society of Worcester several year? agoi The kindness was reciprocated by one of equal advantage a razor with a blade two or three feet long, like a sythe. The Nantucket Inquirer tells a story of a female who came near being carried oflTby old Nepture, while venturing too far into the surf fr a bolt of duck. A

human bachelor, (there are some) who was on the same scout, seized the fair one by the heels, and landed her, with the duck, her hold of which she resolutely maintained. He demanded half the duck for salvage, and on her refusing, told her she might ugo to blazes." Anecdote. Some ladies and gentlemen were one evening discussing the merits of Scottish literature; one spoke of Burns, another of Scott, and a third said she admired Hogg's Tales. H )g"s tails,' said an old lady whose ear had caught this remark alone, hog's tails!! why, bless me, I think any part of the critter is better than the tail. Administrators' Notice.
