POETICAL ASYLUIVI.

From the New York Atlas. THE PREMATURE WHITE HAT. The horrifying effect of a gross infringement of fashion, on its votaries, is well sketched below. Let the readers of the Atlas, be warned against like trans grcssions. I met a man in Regent street, A daring man was he ; lie had a hat upon his head As white as white could be ; 'Twas but the first of March ! Away Three hundred yards I ran Then cast a retrospective glance At that misguided man. I thought it might he possible To do so foul a deed. Vet not commit the murd'rous acts Of which too oft we read : I thought he might have felt distressHave loved and loved in vain And wore that pallid thing to tool The fever of his brain. Perchance he had no relative No confidential friend To say when summer months begin, And those of winter end : Perchance he had a wife, who was Unto his wife a thorn. And who had basely thrust him forth, To brave Decorum's storm ! But no a smile was on his cheek ? He thought himself the thing! And all unbhishingly he wore The garniture of spring ! 'Twas evident the man could not Distinguish wrong from riht ; And cheerfully he walked along Unseasonably white ! Then unperccived I followed him. Clandestinely I tried To ascertain in what strange spot So queer a man cculd hide : Where he cculd pass his days and nightr, Ana breakfast, dine, and sup ; And where the peg could be on which He hung that white hat up ! He paused at White's the white capote Made all the members stare ! He pass'd the Trav'lers, Smoky Club He had no footing there ! He stood a ballot once, (alas ! There sure wasfiique n that) Th ugh they admit light-headed men, They biack-ball'd the white hat ! But on he went, self-satisfied, And now and then he'd stop And look into the looking-glass That lines some trinket shop ; And smilingly adjusted it ! Twas that which made me vcxt " If this is borne," said I, " he'll wear His nankeen trowsers next !" The wretched Being I at length Compassionately stopt, And used the most persuasive words Entreaty could adopt : I said his head was premature I never left his side Until he swore most solemnlv Thc white hat should be dyed. T.H.B. THE EXILE From the German of Schiller. Fresh in the morn is the living breeze ! Aud the sun beams bright trees ; Through the swaying arms of the dark iirAnd the tops of the mountains, The forests, the fountains, Redden and glow in a purple light. The lark is abroad on her airv wing. And the wakened woods with 'nv ;t v. i Bleesed be the h' When . i ..t -it a : th:; 1 ttUT it V ' w :-, . . V ' - ;fcy wall, v: .; x ii.cy and stall, v ! .: us are faraway, - - iheir wings in the dazzling ray. Joy to every thing beside. Wo and ill myself betide. leace for me is where ' O where ? In the grave and only there ! The morn may waken brightly. And purple tower and tree ; And evening air breathe lightly. While men sleep dreamingly ; But in morn's first blush will the deathflowcr bloom, less tomb ! And the night breeze sweep o'er my dreamiIXSCELLANEOUS. From the Journal of Health. IOUTER AND ALE MILK MOLASSES AND WATER. Of the realities and effects of the two beverages porter and milk, I can speak, cays a late English physician, from actuol exnenence. rom my youth unwards. 1 I have been fond of walking, and have found verv creat benefit trom the everrUf Mir ivalLi have not been hrrt as from inclination I generally, duting my under gr&duateship at Cambridge, walked the distance between the University and my patent's residence in London, on the commencement end termination of the vacations. In these walks I found that two or three pints of milk helped to carry me much more comfortably to my journey's end, than twice that quantity of portero- ale. By uung the one, I reached my destination unexhausted and in Sne spirits by the other I was rendered

weary, drooping, and glad to rclirc at

once to rest. Another beverage, to the beneficial ef fects of which I can testify, both from experience and observation, is that made with molasses and water and rendered slightly acidc by means of cream of tartar. The molasses is put into boiling water and when the mixture is cool, a a small quantity of cream of tartar tar is added, according to tho palate or what may, in general, be preferred, a small portion ot lemon juice, or even of common vinegar. By making use of this mixture, instead of strong midding or table-beer, and observing, at the same time, an abstemious diet, an intimate friend of mine, now in his seventy-fourth year, ia enjoying a vigorous and comfortable old ae, and ia possessed of a stronger and mors healthy constitution, than many men who have not attained to half his age. His flow of spirits, even tenor of health, and activity both of mind and body, arc not surpassed by those of any man in the best and most desirable period of life. He informs me, that by the time he had reached his fiftieth year, he was enfeebled both in mind and body, by free and luxuiious living. The beastly intemperance of a companion at a supper-party, convened at an inn, excited his disgust, and determined him to alter his course of life. From that time to the present, he has lived temperately and regularly, and has met his reward a healthy and sound state of body. His constant reply to his friends, who complain to him of one kind of illness and another, is " Live temperately take sufficient exercise and you will be as healthy and contented as I am." Let every one try the experiment, and I will stake my reputation as a medical prophet, that he will not find himself diap pointed; besides the satisfaction of sa ving in his pocket that money which must be laid out upon physic and physicians to counteract the dilapidating effects of too much devotion to eating, and to the fascinations of the festive beard. LOVE. A lady, in the New York American of the 21st instant, writes thus, in refuting several foolish sayings : 11 When Poverty comes in al the door. Love goes out at the window " Heiesy, heresy ! Poverty and love incompatible ! "Tell it not in Gath I" Slander I I'll never believe it! Has love, then, in truth," retired to brighter skies ? Is he no longer a denizen cf earth ! Is it indeed. "The modern Fair one's jest, And only found to warm the turtle's nest I" I'll never believe it : some vile fortune hunter or neglected old maid must have given utterance to the villany. Love the feeling which emanates from the Divinity, who is its fount ; lovethe distinguishing gift of Heaven ; the passion that purifies every other, like Aaron's rod, swallowing the rest that makes life worth living for is it nothing, or wors than nothing to wither at the touch of fioverty to be blasted at its approach ! I deny it and call upon all my sex to stand up in its cause i Poverty, I will allow, may be the test, the touch storr v. love ; and how often do wc 1 -biae brighter by the union !

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING EY SUBSCRIPTION', A TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP OF THE STATE OF INDIANA. THE subscribers, having been concerned in the publication of this work, respectfully inform the citizens of this State, and the public, that they have made arrangements to insure its speedy publication. Some may have come to the conclusion that its publication was entirely abandoned, in consequonce of its not appearing at the time expected by its author; hence, we deem it proper to say, for the satisfaction of those who may have manifested a disposition to patronize it, that the delay was occasioned entirely by circumstances beyond the control of its author. The undertaking is one which requires more labor, and necessarily incurs greater expense, than many are awareof, or than the anther at first anticipated. The delay, however, will afford the publisher an opportunity of presenting much new and interesting matter, which has been brought about by the late session

ot the General Assembly, which will, m some measure, make the delay ravher advantageous, than otherwise. Suffice it to say, then, that the work is progressing, and will be com letcd as soon us a due regard to correctness will pern.it. We deem it unnecessary to beg the patronage of our fellow citizens to this worsens we feel confident (from the patronage already received) they will take a pleasure in giving it their support, especially w hen they consider it is the production of their own, and not of another state. To those who have not had an opportunity of examining the Manuscript, we would say, thatitwas prest uteci to the members of the Legislature, at tluir session of 18J9, and pronounced to be col l ect, and as an evidence, we refer to tbeir j-ignatures on the prospectus, or to the l!epivseutativcs them selves, residing in die diflerent sections of tlie State.

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING, BY SUBSCRIPTION, A GAZETTEER & MAP

THE STATEOF INDIANA. o:;o HAVING purchased the ccpy-right of Mr. Scott's "Indiana Gazetteer," we propose to publish, as early as practicable, a Gazetteer of the State; which will be on the usual plan of works of this kind, and will embrace, among other things, a description of the Counties, Towns, Lakes, Rivers, Creeks, Roads, fee. The descriptions cf Counties will show their situation, time of organization, extent, boundary. quality of soil, water privileges, amount of nonulation. number and character of churches and schools, Sec. The descriptions of Towns will embrace their location, the whole number of inhabitants, the number of professional men, artists, merchants, mechanics, the progress of improvement, distances from the seat of government and from other important points, their latitude, longitude &c. The descriptions of Rivers, and Creeks will be somewhat general, showing their source and confluence, size, length the faceof the country through which they, run, navigable advantages, &c. It is deemed unnecessary to say much in relation to the importance and value of the proposed publication. Every person, who will reflect a moment on the subject, will be convinced of its utility, and will see the importance of patronizing it. Such works have been liberally patronized in many of our sister states; and it is presumed that there is no state in the Union whose history, population, soil, and natural advantages are less understood than those of Indiana. Besides being interesting and valuable to all classes of the people, such a work will add greatly to the character of the state abroad, by developing, in some measure, the vast resources of the state, her repidly increasing population, and her natural advantages. Accompanying and attached to the Gazetteer, will be a MAP of the state, on a small scale, but sufficiently large to contain every thing of importance which can be r i : " 1 ,. r i mm.., t i I Ul U III l)llll!l 1)1 rl I lllrfS NIZt" L Ilf 1 Li 1 1 , , ' i - , ..7 w 4V w" i'--accurac'.
