RETROSPECT How dear uo the sc r.cs of our juvenile pleasures, To him who has bid th ni a lati'iij farewell! , The field? and the meadows, endeared beyond treasure, Where parents, where brothers k sisters do dwell. The laird, when bereft of its short-living pleasures, And tn uWes and sorrows succeed m full measure, Revisit8 those scrncs as a far hidden treasure Swc?t scenes of her youth, she remembers full well. Yes, dear the remembrance of moments deported, Which Innsr-past enjoyment rcca's to the mind; Those juvenile scenes, when gaj and l;.;ht hearted, We sail'.l without care, on t!ie v.itis of the wind. IJow oft thro' the mind their reniciLurancc has darted, JIov often a tenr has nrconscion'ly started, To review tie swett hem vow lotvver departed, Which the Ir;i ln-?o of c-.rs has li ft far, far belaud. Dul since thew swn t caor.s return to u? never, Why shocl.l uc V ready tlieir absence to niouri. 1 They're vauishM i-uvvrr, they re gone altogether, Then why should we uii-h them again to return? Ah! fitter, an ! mother, and sntcr ;tid brother, And playmate?, who long since were known to each other, When we wandered the fields and the wild-wood together But never a -a in will those seasons return. Yet longsh ill fond nicm'ry continue to cherish This w et recollection of moments gone hy ; When later events are oTjcotton and perish. These live in remembrance, and call forth a sigh. Ah ! tell me, why is it so fondly we cherish

Tbt se thoughts of our childhood that never ihall perish, But when vigor and youth have long ceased to Still think of the moments forever gone by ?

country already described; the ridge fprrntag, in some measure, a barrel to the passage of the water to the sea; on the country, the stream?, in general, rising near the summits of the hills, flow downward, until they reach the general bed of the limestone, where they either sink into the fissures of the rock, or spread out in lakes, which have their subterranean passages, but they again rise on the south side of the ridge, and form some of the largest springs in the world. The Wakullen comes forth at once, a noble river, two

I hundred yards in width, its source not less

I than one hundred feet in depth, and so ; transparent, that a person standing by the

side of it, feels as though he were on the edge of 4 precipice. The lakes of Tallahassee abound .in fish; the trout, bream, and soft shelled turtle; and in winter, with wild fowl. The soil, as well on the up

lands as in the valleys, is adapted to to the culture of the sugar cane, rice, Sea Island cotton, and Indian corn. Hitherto it has been healthy, and it is fair to presume that it will continue so; the winters are of course mild, and being within the reach of

the sea breeze, the heat of summer is

greatly moderated. 14 TEST FROM SMYR-Yd. Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in Smyrna, (fated JXov. 23, 1826. ,

'.'lit politics we have little news ot late. I am happy to say piracies have hecomo much less co-.imon recently principally owing to the measures taken hv the Greek Government to suppress them. Two schooners have already been taken, and they have shot all the pirates caught. They have, also recovered some ot the stoI n good. Captain Nic!io!son, in the Oeta.

i no, has given great protection to the A-j-meriran commi-rce. ! We have good reason to believe that j the English Minister at Constantinople is ' n leuv'.ring to get terms for the Greeks and this probably with the consent of ; France, and possibly Austria. The dejmandsofthe Greeks have hitherto been very high, being nothing short of their r.r-

E , New Years day, the .Fourth of July, and all similar festivals, exercise, in our opinion, a very injurious influence on the morals and industry of our citizens. 1 hey have become day of riot and excess, when the first temptations to intemperance are presented to the y ung mind, and the first seeds sown of future worthlessness and idleness. New-Harmony Gazette, Commodore Porteiu The New York Mercantile has a letter from Havana, dated January 21, which says "Commodore Porter's two brigs and one of his schooners have sailed from Key West, and are now cruising between Cape Antonio and Matanzts, capturing every thing

Spanish they can fall in with. Some ot

jLaSorde-s squadron are said to have proIcecded to Sa:ritici s, to cut off Porter's

pri.es, and endeavor to destroy the shipping there. Com. P. went into Key West to repair, and will take care to remain

! there, I presume, until he is reinforced,

allowing his brigs and schooners to cruise on the coast, while he himself engages the whole attention of the Spanish fleet of 4 frigates and 4 brigs. A 5th frigate, the Iheria. is to sail in 3 dav. These are all

feared here, that the Colombian Meet at Carthngena, (which it is understood was nearly ready for sea on the Mil iust.) is coming to aid Porter.

Wild Turkey. Mr. C. L. Bonaparte, in Ids Natural History ot the Birds of the U. States, asserts that the wild tuikey is a native of America, and was a stranger to the

i old world till after the discoveries of Coi lumbus. It was sent from Mexico to Spain ; in the early part of the 16th century, and thence to England about the year 1524.

By degrees it spread over Lurope, Asia and Africa. The English supposing it to have come from Turkey, through Spain,

gave it the name of Turkey. The wild

A useful hint to oi;..j men. For your own comfort, for your friend's solace, for the sake of your eventual prosperity, cultivate a strict and manly hSbit of economy. It is impossible C raise a good character without it. And this one single article, economy, connected with moderate talent, will recommend you to all with whom you may wish confidence or expect remuneration. Assistance, should you need it, will not be withheld, if it is known that you are careful in your personal expenses.
