THE dl:lugk-b Y LORD BYRON. Earth shall be ocean, And no breath. Save of the w?nds,be on the unboundedwave! Angels shall tire their wings but find no spot, Not even a rock from out the liquid grave, Shall lift its point to save, hath died. Or show the place where strong despair After long looking o'er the ocean wide For the expected ebb which comcthnot: All shall be void, Destroyed ! Another clement shall be the lord Of life, and the abhorr'd hue Children of dust be quench'd ; and of each Of earth nought be left but the unbroken And of the variegated mountain blue : Shall nought remain Unchanged, or of the level plain , Cedar and pine shall lift their tops in vain, All merged within the universal fountain, Man, earth and fire, shall die, And sea and sky Look vast and lifeless in the eternal eye. To Her xi'ho will best understand it. HOME. That is not home, where day by day I wear the busy hours away. That is not home, where lonely night Prepares me for the toils of light. JTis hope, and joy, and memory give A home in which the heart can live. 'Tis where thou art is home to me, And home without thee car.not he. There are who strangely love to roam. And find in wildest haunts their home; And some in halls of lordly state Who yet are homeless, desolate. The warrior's home is tented plain; The sailors, on the stormy main; Th maiden's, in her bower of rest; Th infant's on his mother's breast. But where thou art is home to me, And home without thee cannot be. There is no home in halls of pride, They aie too high, and cold, and wide. No home is by the wanderer found; 'Tis not in place, it hath no bound. It is a circling atmosphere Investing all the heart holds dear; A law ot strange attractive force, That holds the JeeliNcrs in their course. It is a presence undefined, O'ershadowing the conscious mind, When love and duty sweetly blend. To consecrate the name of friend. Where'er thou art is home to me, And home without thee, cannot be. -THii printer. . RINTERS are not Cameleons, quite, iud promised rooo, is VERY LIGHT!
neglected, to dress and parade the streets in kid or white satin shoes arrayed in all the colors of the rain bow, to dash, married or single,in splendid equipage in English stylo "that's your sort'talk loud in company, ogle a dandy, shun the old Sc experienced, and harrass servants for all their petty wants,and their husbands and fathers for what they cannot afford to give them; money to support them in their extravagance, appears to be the sole application of the females in what ia called the fashionable circles in our beloved country. My heart sickens on contemplating such things. Away with these nondescripts! may they all die old maids, and "waste their sourness (for 3wcets they have none) on the desert air' men of discernment will seek the modest, discrete retiring female, who will prove a crown of glory to her husband.' ''Sweet as the rose When the dew-drop wets it leaves Unstained and pure . As the Idly of the mountain's snow." "When I find such a one I will change my forlorn condition; and, if you undertake to choo6e her for me, I promise you as far as relates to me, she shall pass her time, "Calm andunruhTd as a summer's sea. When not a breath of wind blows o'er its surface."

No, no, I never saw the like of this before !" He examined it anew ; he tried to get the bridle out, but it surpassed his ingenuity. "Yes, it must be, said he, "the horse has actually crawled through the post hole there's no other way to account lor it !" Full of this impression, and despairing of making the animal retrace his steps, he whipped out his knife and was about cutting the reigns, when the same girl, perceiving his quandary, released the horse and explained the mystery. but if the simple parson had been astonished before, he was little less so now, to find his own penetration surpassed by that of a servant girl. "He girl," said he, "I believe you arc right but how in the name of wonder should a girl like you know more than a man of my learning. Its astonishing! astonishing! Miraculous ! miraculous !"

THE GREAT ECLIPSE O? 1831. This eclipse which will happen on the 12th of February next, will be the
most remaikable that will again be wit
ness
course
ter of the sun will be 32$ minutes of a
degree, that of the moon Si$. Ofcoutse the eclipse will be annular that is in all places where the sun will be central ly eclipsed, at the moment of the greatest obscuration, it will exhibit the ap pearance of a beautiful luminous ring around the moon. Eclipses of this kind are of less frequent occurrences than those which are total. J he centie of the eclipse will first touch the earth's disk in the great Pacific Ocean on the morning of Feb. 12th, in lat 24 deg 55 minutes N. and longitude 14 'degrees 3
minutes west from Greenwich. At this I point the sun will rise 34 minutes past 6 o'clock; or at 3 hours 54 minutes P. M. apparent time at Greenwich. Thence proceeding by a gentle curve to the South and East in 1C minutes it will enter upon the coast of California, in lat. 27 degrees 30 minutes N. Thence curving Northwardly, 47 minutes more it will enter the United States near the south-west corner of Louisiana, and in 6 minutes will cross the Mississippi, Al abamaand Georgia, in 24 minutes more it will arrive at a point in Pendleton county, South Carolina, in lattitude 34 deg. 27 minutes N. longitude 82 deg, 38 mi nutes W. where the sun will be centrally eclipsed on the meridian. Thence passing over North Carolina into Vir
ginia, in 14 minutes it will cross James river, near Richmond, and continuing nsa'ty in a direct line, in S minutes will leave the Jersey shore at Little Epgharbor, passing e few miles east of Montauk Point; in'8 minutes it will leave the eastern shore of Cape Cod at Well fleet, and in 6 minutes will enter upon
j ihe south western extremity of Nova
Scotia I hence passing over the island of Newfoundland, and increasing in ve
locity, as it approaches the verge of the ear:h; in 19 minutes more it will leave its disk in lat. 51 deg. 58 deg. 40 min. W. long, at which point the sun will set centrally eclipsed at 4 h. 30 m. or 6 h, 25 m Greenwich time. The eclipse will have been 2 h. 31 m. in crossing the earth's dick, and about
one hour from its entrance to the time of its leaving the United States. A line drawn through the above points on the
Map of North America, will pass thro' all those places -where the eclipse is central. Two other lines on each side of the first, at the distance of 50 miles, will include all places in the U. States where it will be annular. Its penumbra will precede and follow the centre, at the mean interval of one hour and thirty minutes, making on the central track the beginning and end of the eclipseLines drawn on a map of the United States parallel to the central track at in
tervals, on the south side, and 200. 185 and 175 miles, and on the north at inter
vals of 255. Two hundred and fifty and three hundred miles will exhibit, nearly, the respective points where the sun will
be 1 1, 10 and 9 digits eclipsed. By mak-
ing proportions along the central path of
the eclipse, of the intervals of Green
wich time, and protracting the hour lines
at right angles, the time and phases of
the eclipse may be found for very nearly
any place m the United States, observ
ing to reduce the Greenwich time to that
of the places of observation.
This eclipse will be visible over every
part of the North American continent
and the West Indies, and will be seen as
far south as the city of Quito in South
America.

A Horse crawling through a Post! A story is told ol the late Rev. 31r. Sprague, of Dublin, N. H. which sets the remarkable simplicity of the learned
parson in a very ludicrous light, t aying
a visit to one of his parishoners, he threw the bvidle of his horse over the post of a
rail fence near the house. During his
stay the animal contrived to disengage
the bridle from the post and get it under his feet seeing which, a servant girl drew the reigns through one of the mortises and over the top of a post in the form of a noose. The parson took his leave, and going to untie his horse, was indescribably astonished to find the bri die, which he had simply thrown ever the post, thus passed through one of the holes.

CIURLES ALEXANDER, Publisher of the Daily Chronicle, and well known as having been c onnected in the publication of the Saturday evening Post, and Casket proposes in conjunction with Louis A. Gooey, to commence, on the first of July next, a monthly LITERARY MISCELLANY, under the above title. This work will be devoted especially to the service of the Ladies, and looking chiefly to them for patronage, no exertion
will be spared to merit it. Ihe plan contemplated varies materially from that of any of the American pt riodicals now circulated ; and if executed in the style which the proprietors believe to be within their means, will be found, they trust, to be an improvement, in some respect at least, upon the
best of its predecessors. In the choice of
materials, though contributions cf decided
merit will always be acceptab.e, thev never
will be introduced to the exclusion of ether
articles of superior v alue. Tire numerous Magazines to be provided for the purpose
ot selection, will always atford a plentiful
supply ot matter suitable for the Lady s Book, which, when republished, will possess, for all but a few, the attraction of novelty. ' Extensive arrangements have been made at home and abroad that will give every facility to the ready attainment of the choicest and cariist productions. The de
sign includes every thing which may be expected to afford entertainment and instruction, in an inviting form, to those for whom
the work is intended. It is presumed too, that a Miscellany deserving the notice cf the ladies, cannot but prove w orthy of the other sex. Among the subjects which may be enumerated as likely to be prominent, will
be found Music, including notices of new compositions, with occasional disquisitions on the science, and reprints of such New Songs as may be thought worthy to be so dis
tinguished ; Biographical anecdotes, 1 ales
and interesting Narratives, from writers of
real talent ; the Fashions, with an illustra
tive engraving quarterly, fancifully coloured. This department will be under the su
perintendence of persons well versed in the
art, and no pains will be spared to render it
not the least attractive part of its contents.

PROPOSALS For Publishing by Subscription, A TOPOGRAPHICAL 31 A P OF THE STATE OF INDIANA. THE subscribers, having been concerned in the publication cf this work, respectfully inform the citizens cf this State, end the public, that they have made arrangements to insure its speedy publication. Some may have come to the conclusion thut its publication was entirely abandoned, in consequence cf its not appearing at thr time expected by its author; hence, v. e 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 cf its author. The undertaking is one which requires mors labor, and necessarily incurs greater expense, than many are avvareof, or than the author .it first anticipated. The delay, however, will aflbrd the publisher an opportunity of presenting much new and interesting matter, which has been brought about by the late session
of the General Assembly, which will, in some measure, make the dclav raiher ad-
v antageous, than otherwise. Suffice it to say, then, that the work is progressing, and
will be completed as soon as a due rerard
to correctness will permit.
V. e deem it unnecessary to beg the pat
ronage of our fellow citizens to this work, as
we feel confident (from the patrcnaee alrea
dy received) they will take a pleasure in giving it their support, especially when they
consiuer it is trie procucticn ct their own,
and not ot another state.
To those who have not had an opportu
nity cf examining the Manuscript, we wculd
say, that ltwas presented to the members of the Legislatures their session cf 1329, and pronounced to be correct, and as an evidence, we refer to their signatures or. the
prospectus, or to the Kepresentatives them
selves, residing m the different sections cf the State.
Great paias have been taken to obtain
correct information in relaton to the North
part of the State; and we are much indebted to these gentlemen who have long beca engaged in the Indian trade for the information acquired. The manuscript is now in the hands cf Mr. Wm. Woodruff, of Cincinnati, whose character as an engraver is well known to the public; we may, therefore, say the wcrL will be executed ina style not inferior to any in the United States. CONTENTS AND CONDITIONS. This map will contain a rariety of useful and interesting matter, not usually published in maps.
