POETRY:

TIWJIESSJIGE TO THEl},ji.}I) BY MRS. HKMANS. Messages Irotn the living to the dead, are uot uncommon in the Highlands. 'The Gaels have such a ceaseless consciousness of Immortality that their departed friends are considered a? tfierely absent for a time and permitted to relieve the hours of separation by occasional intercourse with the objects of their earliest affections."—[See the Not$9 to Mrs Brunton's Discipline.*']

But thou, my friend, my brother ThouYt speeding to the shore wfl Where the dirge-like tone of parting words,

Shall smite the soul no more! fe And thou wilt see our holy dead,^| The lost on earth and main tM Into the sheaf o( kindred hearts

Thou wilt be bound again rm

Tell thou our friend of boyhood, That yet his name is heard, On the blue mountains, whence his youth

P^ss'd like a swift bright bird The light of£s exulting brow, A The vision of his glee, "V*- \id Are on me stili—oh still I trust,

That smile again to ?ee. 'f a I,'.# And tell our fair young sister,*^' The rpse cut down in spring, That yet my gushing soul is filled

J^rom the lierkahire Jlmerisdn. TUK AlKCIlANIC, If tfic1 dignity of things may be i«fe»«i,red by 'tfi'eiP importance to nankidd, there is nothing perhaps, vhich can ran'k abbve the Mechanic Arts. In fact,' tf/ey r*ay be Called the lever, the fulcrumy and the pow^r, which mov.eh the world.^jThey do not want the .** nvlrereon to stand" of Archineedes thpy have a sufficient foundation in themselves. .f-

What to civil pations th^ir Upcriority over tUe savage is liiefly mechanic art^» Ky/Jhjpos the »autiful and convenien^jnansioil

And much of this is owing to two single arts, that of printing, and the manufacture of paper. By the former, learning has been rescued from the gloom ot the dark ages but with out the latter, the benefit of printing would be circumscribed to very narrow bounds. It is by means of the press, chielly, that so much of christeodom owes us escape from the thraldom of superstition.

But in speaking of the dignity of the mechanic arts, we could not confine them to the mere hand that executes, without thinking of the head that plans 'lor' without the latter, but little more credit would he done to the person who exercises thene arts thaa to the automaton Turk,, who mechanically astonishes the world at the game of chess. To produce the great effects we have mentioned above, to do so inuch to en lighten, to beautify, and improve the world, to labour lor the glory ana happiness ol others, and yet be ignorant of the springs, by which the important movements are carried on, would ill comport with the uigi.ity of the mechanic. He would be, ('if ma* compare small things with great,') like the san in the lieaveus, which renders light and warmth, arm comfort to mankind, without iUeli being conscious thereof.

There is a philanthrophy in the mechanic arts* The mechanic who bring-* to his occupation an inventive, enligntened anil inquiring mind, who 19 masier of his craft, in theory as well as in practice, has more of re.ti philosophy in him than tjye?4y ol those minute philosophers whogpemi their lives in puzzling the woriu with empty metaphysical speculations, and of whom Cicero 'speaks with so much deserved coijtenip! The mechanic who perfectly under stands his trade, as well in the principles as the practicc ot it, gets Himself a degree ot no inconsiderable rank and fiopor, and that without the intervention ol a college, or the formal vote of a learned corporation. To uecome an ingenious and enlightened mechanic, it is necessary that the vouth who is destiped lor a trade, should bring to his employment a mind inquisitive, studious, busy, and included to mechanic pursuits. Such a mind, with ordinary attention to its cultivation, can scarcely fail of becoming in a very consideiaiv degree enlightened. ,}3ut to the cbm/non sources of information, a 5©id irujny mechanics add a

improvement. -Mechanics!*& apprentices' libraries are established, fit mechanics'societies are formed which, by inducing studious habits interchange of ideas, ant) collision of sentiments, must tend to improve the Hiindu of the members in|a. high degree, There is, in fact, at the present time, a very large share of information and solid practical knowledge among the mechanics of this country. ,, ,.

The .life of the mechanic jt ior'ae, is 4 life of labor: and prhile he wipes the sweat from his brow, he may perhaps murmur at his fate, and envy what he considers Ihe easy lot of other professions But where is the business which exempts a mjn fro(n a life ol labor?

The celebrated Champoilion has sailed from Toulon for Alexandria, having been placed by the King of France at the bead of a commission of six persons, and by the grand Duke a1 Tuscany at tke head of a similar number of scientific and literary men, to investigate the antiquities of Egypt syid ^Ethiopia. A year and a half will probably be expended in their researches: and as Mr. Champoilion has promised to give occasional details of his transactions to a gentleman ot Cambridge, we may expect to be enabled to announce some very gratifying discoveries. It is with gre^t pleasure we learn that DrYoung has been to Paris, and is com pletely reconciled and delighted with his great rival in hierogliphic fame this is as it should be, and henceforth their only contest will be, not for the priority of the claim in the discovery of the Phonetic characters of the hierogiiphics. but who shall contribute most, to the elucidation of these long hidden mysteries.—Lqtidon Lit.

It has been contended by some moralists that the community among whom co» fi')f nrial correspondence, or th* secrecy of letters, is not deem ed inviolable must be either in a state of barbarism or corruption, "A courier, bearing despatches to Philip, fell into the hands of an Athenian general —the latter sept them to the king of Macvdon without breaking the seal Pompey in the midst of civil discord, respected the confidence of friendship, and burned ill the letters in his possession, which might have exposed to injury those who had written them, or to whom they were addressed." Such is the example which honorablepflgnns have left. The christian civilisation of our country is not yet so far advanced. Party spirit, in our political contests, breaks through all bounds nf trust and descrncy, in the use of private letters. \\v are to have a ginr.al instance of this enormityin the publication of a correspondence between Mr. Clay and Jonathan Rus»f!l. essentially private and sacred If were absolute lawgivers, we would subject to the heaviest penalties afl principals and accessories in such disclosures, and all publishers and punters of private conversations—JS'utional Gazette.

iiy. i'his difference wil! in oudP market be found to be at least fifty*' per cent. now 38 it must certainty^ be easier to pay so much attention to the making of butter as to have it® of the best quality, and sell for tho|| highest price, than to obtain the Bumff which the difference in price be-1 tween good anil bad butter woold a-|c mount to, in any oilier way, it appears somewhat singular that sop inuch butter of inferior quality should be brought to market. J'here is no Sireatart in making butter neatness1 and carefulness on the part of the maker are the chief requisites: we Believe however that the use ot Kenh^wa salt in butter is injurious to^ its quality, and that those who wish to make, their butter of the bestquality would do well either to use West India salt, or if they use the| Kenhawa, to dissolve and re-crysial-T lize it, so as to free it from its irnpu-i, rities It is hardly necessary tof| speak of the necessity of having good & milk, especially where it, is as easy to obtain it as it is in this countrw" The following extract trom the report of the (committee on nea^ cattie, at the Worcester, Mass., cattle. show, we recommend to the perusal of all who keep cows. m^y-.. 4The Committee bpg leave to of-"r fer one or two remarks of a generalcharacter. They cannot but express their surprise, that any man will keep a^oor milch cow, when, as has thi^ day been shown, animals so much more profitable can be kept at an equal cost. No animal repays so«" richly the charrcsof her keeping, as a good milch cow. She is a treas-fe ure to the poor man, and a source of luxury to the poor and the rich a-§? like. It is in thfs light that she is»« an extremely interesting object, foH?f good eating comes home to us all. We haye heard our brother farmetV'^ talk of "living like poor folks," wheri^ they had more luxuries in their dai-4 ries than they could dream of, till deprived of them. "Sir," said an obsequious waiter at a city hotel, tQ? a good honest yeoman of a neighboring county, when he handed him at pitcher of what city folks call ereant, fdo you like cream in your coft'eer" '•Yes," said he with a sigh, "much** better than skim milk." Most ol our best eatables derive their origit) from our milch cows. But thequaU ity of the one depends upon that of the other. It is in vain that the a housewife sets the milk if it is not of a rich quality. She may select her^j pans with the skill of an Humphrey! Davy but it matters not whether of^, tin, or earthen, or what not, for iflthe cream is not in the milk, she 1cannot get it out She may warm itp| or cool it, skim it or churn it all together poor milk will make poor butter. All the patent churns th$t Connecticut ingenuity ever invented, or Dr. Thornton ever puzzled1*, his brain over, could not make sky blue milk into yellow cream, or white frothy cream into hard sweet* butter. Such milk and butter, somci a in a re and boarders, but when we think bf one's children, (especially those of us who have none,) this becomes a subject of grave consideration, since ^he raising and education of children have employed all sorts of talent?* irom those of the school dame among?.« her A Cs up to a Brougham in the halls of Parliament As a Commit^ tee on milch cows, we would mod-^. estly suggest that theorists do not begin at the foundation of the mat--ter. We believe a good deal in th© blood and breed of animals, but do not attach so much importance to mere names as some have done. But when we come to eating, w© would "forswear" for children '•'thin potationsas heartily as Jack Fa!-: stall'in the play. We could quote even sacred writ in favor of milk di-^ et, but we need only refer to tho good old times of bread and milk supper^, vhen slops and nic-nacs were aot the jSta.ff of life, and when thtf rich bloom of health on the cheek of childhood, like the brilliant hue of twilight on a summer's day, placed around the features even of old a^e, making iji freih and fair and vigorous. Bodily and mental vigor are toft j. nearly allied, not to attach import- E ance.to, what promotes either. A*n«! as friends of the rising generation, as the lover? of good order, and gifted eating, of good education and gOod 4r?$id an.4 gutter, your committee' wiktild earnestly rerommendfat^ who ftave viewed, with them, the anitHliU i' this day exhibited, to sell thefr poor cow.^ ?00^ ones."
