POETRY. TO THE MEMORY OP A WIFE. Let fortune frown ; let sorrow reign ; My hopes have Bed, now thou'rt departed, And left this world a barren p'ain, To h. m who'moorns thee—broken hearted. Of change thy mind n« shadow knew; Thou wert superior to its sway; Mild as the morning we t with dew , And tranquil as the eve of day. Without thy smile to gild th e scene, find hid the shades nf sorrow fled, Life had a raytess vision been, And earth a wilderness to me ! — What more than thee could passion seek ?— In vernal softness ever fair, There was a lus're on thy cheek To bless theeye that g.ti-d there : And thou badst that which charm'd no less, A link 'tween heaven and earih below, A heart that we<-pt with tenderness At every tale and tone o f wo ! Oh' of'en it hath pain'd my heart, Desponding with its load of care, To think in it thou bore a part, And never charg'd, and still would bear ; Like some benign, supernal pow'er, To cheer m y bosom by its beams, Forever, o n my lonely hour, The lustie of thy spirit gleams ; In dreams I trace the evening walk, Where once our foo's'ep; us'd t o stray, And where in londly whisper'd talk We oft have liv'd the eve away. The Eglantine perfumes the air, The hawthorn blossoms on the spot ; I call to thet—wbo art not there } I liiteu—but I hear thee notj I piss m y hand across my brow, And muse on days that we have seen, CVntidCi nig th- unhappy notv. Wttb all the raptures that Ajtie been ! I turn me to the happy years, W.ht-n fl at our hearts together clung When ardent hope o'er mas'ei'd fears, And love was warm, and life was jonng. I torn me t o the glorying scenes It was our happy lot t o share ; — A lapse of darkness intervenes, Triumphant o'er the joys that were. But still, upon my mind tbey rise In autumn sweetness, rich and warm. As when they first did bless mine eyes : As when tbey first my heart did charm ! My time below had not been much , But I hjd witnesb'a storm and shine, And never tasted blessings such As those m y heart hath shar'd with thine. And tbou, in proud-fidelity, Hast stood joy beacon through the night, And shed, athwart the moonless sea, Thy faithful and unfailing light ; And when th e waves of Error drove My back upon th e deep to roam. Thou ever wert the sheltering cove To bid the wanderer welcome home. Oh 1 Thine a constancy hath been, Which could the shafts of wo endure : In doubt that ever stood serene, In trial and temptation pure. Tho' many a change, since first w e met , Hath, frowning, come to mar my lot , Thou wert too noble to forget And too well lov'd to be forgot. And, though n o earthly recompence To th y benignant heart be given, Th >u hast thy treasure far from hence, And thy reward awaits in heaven. Black.

THE RIVRH MLR. The river Nile rises within i few degrees of the eq'i itor & extends beyond th e tropic. Its course is mch, tha ' it is spring at Its Tlead when it is w urer at its raon'h. The fertili'y of the country deprnds upon regular orerflowmgs of the river, 'gbt^vhich indicate s a product .the natives knowing th e consequence, rejoice as. much m spring as many nations in harvest. The inhabitants-of lower Egypt send boa<s up to th e head of the Nile.—There it is spring.

Every bee returns at night instinctively to us hive, as if it knew the nam* her. When the spring season begins t o change, and the qjatt'ity of flowers, materially decreases, 'h« inJ.mers of th.i sweet navigation move lower down gradually in th e night, when the hees are nouoed amidst th e r homed treasures—anchoring in ihe day, and allowing the active travellers to take their busy range, an d ootlect their honey from myriads of (lowers : for the fields, in an B- gyp'ian spring, wear the crown of beanty, and the whole atmosphere is filled with fragrance.— The water decreases, and the flowers diminish ; and again the mariners move on, and halt again and again move on, till ttiey arrive t o greet the pring, m the Delta, amidst th e mouths o f a riv er, which, during so long a course, from every LLitle fljwer, and every sweet herb, and every poi sonous beauty, and every lovely plant, has ren dered them nothing but th e sweetness of honey and the honey coroj). The boatman now return th e hives, as num bered, to their respect ve owners, receiving from each a small piece of money, which amply re wards, in the aggregate, their care and toil. I do not know a pradce which I should more recommend than early rising, whether devotion, health.beaury, or improvement of th e mind, were he objects in view. Ho w cheerful an d bow ani- ma'ed are the medita'ions of the morning ! What a delightful bloom flushes into th e cheeks from ts balmy exhalations! What an unspeakable cheerfulness glides into th e soul, from bearing th e devotional m t '.ns of the laik, and from beholding the new born scenery ot nature ! Bow necessary is such a regimen to pre-eive that sweetness of complexion and of breath which are th e very es -'c onra may rebuke the gemus of our own times. \ Tell me not of blood—I was born a warrior.

It has been demonstrated that light takes about eight minutes in moving across one half of th e earth's orbit ; consequently it moves at the as tonishing rate of 9O0.000 mi'es in a second : — therefore, if each of its particles weighed the thousandth pert-of a grain, its force would be greater than that of a bullet discharged from a musket. Were it even the millionth part of a grain in weight, (it would destroy every thmg a- gainst which it struck. If it even weighed the millionth part of that, it would still have very sensible lorce.
