I I I I i II I i Ui m Poetical. There is much poetry and refined sentiment, as well as an instructive moral, in the following lines, translated From the Arabic, viiich we find in the London Magazine : Why should I blush that Foriuue's frown

To live unheeded and unknown ;

'Tis not the good, the wise, the brave, That surest shine or brightest rise, The feather sports upon the wave, The pearl in ocean's cavern lies. Each lesser star that studs the sphere, Sparkles with undiminished light ; Bark and eclipsed alone.appear The Lord of day, the Queen of night. Nancy Hart This old fashioned matron of Amazonian strength and habits, occupied such a conspicuous station during the times that tried men's souls, and women's too, that it is thought , expedient to take a passing notice of some of her most prominent actions; particularly as the old Revolutionary sttick is nearly gone, and their decks, like the white sails of the vessel disappearing in the midst of the ocean, become more indistinct until they are lost, or will be so distorted by tradition, that credulity itself might pause at their recital : the following particulars are based on incontrovertible facts. Nancy Hart and her husband settled be r fore the revolutionary struggle a V few miles above the ford on Broad River, known by the name of the Fishdam ford, in Elbert county, Georgia, in the bend of the river, near a very extensive canebrakc ; an apple orchard still remains to point out the spot, and to prove the provident powers of its planters.

In altitude Mrs. Hart was almost Patagonian,and remarkably i " well limbed and muscular in a word, she was 4 lofty and sour ; she possessed none of that nobility of nerve which characterizes

....... modern times ; marked by nature

Willi prominent features, cireum stances and accident added per haps not a little to her pcculiari ties : she nossessed none of thnsi

'Jthe perforating punch of the great maker never did closer work on the yielding tin than did that dreadful scourge of beauty, the Small Pox when it set its emphatic signature on her face ! she was horribly cross eyed, as well as cross grained, but nevcrthelcss she was a sharp bhootcr. Nothing was more common than to see her in full pursuit of the bounding stagthe huge antleis that hung round her cabin, or upheld her trusty gun gave proof of her skill in guncry ; and the white comb drained of its honey, and hung up for ornament testified her powers in bee finding: She was remarkable for her frequent rob beries on these patterns of indns try, and piqued herself on the in vention of an infallible bait for their discovery.
