W RLARD BRADLEY. Kinderhodk, Juno 15, 1825. nStf From the New-Hampshire Patriot. The following beautiful effusion is the production o f a native o f New Hampshire, only seventeen years old, and now in obscurity. Such lays would almost wake the lyre a gain; and tho author need write but few pieces like this to bo sufficiently known. THE LYIIE. There was a lyre, ’tis said, that hung, High waving in tho summer a ir; An angel hand its chords had strung, Then over shell o f mermaid blew, lu coral grottos o f tho main. When, Springing from the rose's bell, Where all night ho had sweetly slept, The Zephyr left tho flower dell. Bright with the tears that morning wopt He rose, and o’er tho trembling lyre, Waved lightly his soft azure w ing; What touch such music could inspire I What harp sucli lays o f joy could sing I The murmur o f the shaded rills, 1 rills, The birds that warbled sweetly by. And the soft echo from the hills. Were heard not, When tho last )t, where that harji was nigh, light o f fading day, the rest; Then softer than that fading light, And sweeter than the lay, that rung Wild through the silence of the night. When solemn Philomela sung— That harp its plaintive murmurs sighed Aiongthe detvy breeze o f even; So soft and swcot, they swelled and dicd< They seemed the echoed songs o f licavcni Sometimes, v/hen all the air was still, Nor e'en the poplar’s foliage trembled, That lyre was nightly heard to thrill Tones, that no earthly tones resembled; And then, upon tho moon’s pale beams/ UnearthlyUnearthly formss were seen to stray,tray, form Whosehose starrytarry pit:inions’ Would oft around tho wild W s p trembling glca ? pJay- But soon the bloont of summer fled— In earth and air it shone no more; Each flower and leaf fell pale and dead While heaven its wintry slcmn^ss worct One day, loud blew the northern blast— The tempest's fury raged along— O, for some angel, as they passed. To shield the harp o f heavenly song! It shrieked—how could it boar the touch, The cold trudo toucli of such a storm^—^ The savage wind more fiercely blew; Once more—it never shrieked again, For every cltord wa.s torn in two I It never thrilled with anguish more, Tho pang that then its bosom tore, Though beaten by the fiercest blast; Was dreadful —but it wa.s its last. And though the smiles o f summer played Gently upon it.s shattered form, And tJie light zephyr o'er it strayed, That lyre they could not wake or warm. From the (Auburn) Free Press. T H E P R I N T I N G - O F F I C E . If you wish to study character—if you wish to see the world—if you wish to knotv tvhat crudities and quiditics exist in the human race, go to the printing-office, when the paper is pub lished, and the morning stage has brought its usual bundle of crimes, crim. con., and congres sional proceedings. Let n lai^y felloiv likcrroy- self, One who has little to do, and still less dis position to perform even that little, make a morning’s lounge in the printing-office, and he will learn more than ho would in a fortnight's poring over his dusty, worm eaten volumes. I love to Secure a quiet nook, and with a news paper before me, peep out to observe the mot ley assemblage who flock together to present thfeir advertisements, find fault W'ith the editor or printer, hear the latest hews, make their sage remarks, and “ spill tlieir judgments” on the political nflairs of this mundane sphere. In comps Mr. Dry Goods, with arequesWhat a blunder, the printer had made in pulflishing an advertisement of his the day before, by sub stituting chintze for cKfe’ese, malfing it read a “ quantity of chintze from one of the first dai ries in the county,” might he corrected. The compositor was called, the manuscript was pro- dwee'd, and found printed verbatim, and Mr. Dry Goods hastily left the office to correct his own mistakes. Mr, Vinegar Cruet/ the Village grocer, wish ed that “ smoked herrings” might be put in ca pitals, as he wished to draw the attention 6fthe public to that article^ A young gentleman entered and handed a small packet o f papers to the editor/ and left the office. His manner, plainly enough indica ted that he belonged to the class of idlers who contribute their mites to the ephemeral columns of the day. “ Mr. Editor,” s^iid a fat old fellPw, who sat ^wheezing in his easy chair, “ you give too much room to such idle fellows; who .Cares for their piteratffre and their essays ? I had rather feaU a debate o f congress, or Our legislature, than all the literary trash which the Whole tribe of scribblers can furnish in a year.” Perhaps, Mr.' Grumblegumption, it may be so with you, but you will be so good as to re collect there are numerous persons who patron ize a paper merely for the miscellaneous arti cles it contains and who rtlrcly.if ever look at a congressional debate; and we caterers for the public must consult the inclination and taste of all, so far as is consistent with the pa ramount obligations we ow^e to society.” “ But, I tell you,” interrupted Grutnhlegump- tjon, ” that no advantage whatever is derived from all the tales, essays and poetry, w'hich the present generation has produced ; they only”—^ “ Mr. Editor,” said a young lady, who had that moment entered, “ will you please to hand mo your last paper, contfliuitig the prize essay of the ‘ Dream of Love,’ from the New-York Mirror.” It was giveh her, and w’ith a sffiiie and a look which I would not have exchanged for all the congressional debates in the universe, with old grumble to hoot, she retired. ” There,” continued lie, “ such are the per sons for ivhom you exclude the wisdom of sa gos and tho researches of otir legislative halls.” A pedlar of combsj sleeve-buttons, needles, &c., inquired for a paper ; one was handed him, and turning it over, said his object in calling was to examine the hank note exchange, btit was surprbod to find it excluded, when it was so particularly necessary for gentlemen engaged in trade. He wa.s referred to tho city papers f >r the information necessary to determine the cliaracter of the two dollar bill he held in his hand, and turning on his heel he left us. 'Pho door opened, and a man whose impor tant and .supercilious air showed him to be a person of authority, entered.—“ Mr. Editor,” .said he, “ I have called to demand the name of the individual who signed himself Manlius in this morning’s paper.” ” WJion the reasons are known for this de mand,” «aid the editor, “ perhaps you may he gratified in your request.” “ My reasons,” replied he angrily, “ are, tho fellow has al)tised me shamefully, and his name shall be giv'cn up, or you must yourself prepare to .suffer tho consequences of a refusal.” \ But arc you certain, ’Squire SmellfungilS. the article was aimed at you 1 There are, yciu arc sensible, no names mentioned, and there are unfortunately so many persons to w|iom the character sketched by Manlius is ap}>licablc, th' t there must be .some strong points of resem blance indeed to justify your demand.” ” You know,” said i?inellfungus, “ that there arc scoundrels in every community who take (U’light in stabbing in the dark, men who are more elevated than themselves, and unless a proper puiiisbmeni is awarded, o i ma^[|vili he safe from their attack'^.” ” I ventnre to say,\ replied the editor, “ that Manlius was unaware that so important a per- .sonage as yourself exi.stod; and when he was wielding the I.'Lsh of satire over the political sins and moral crimes of certain of the commu nity, he had little idea that flny person who as pires to rcspcctahility in society, would claim the privilege of considering those remarks dircctcdat him.” It was easy to perceive the man of office felt his .situation was becoming far from envia ble, and denouncing the severest vengeance of the law* upon “ all and sundry,” ho tv.as moving toivatds the door, with mi evident intention of taking himself off. “ Wait, if you please, one moment,” said the editor, “ I merely Wish to whisper in your ear, that before proceeding in this affair, it may be well to look at home. A writer like Manlius, the mass of knavery and folly with which it abound.s; he embodies it, and gives it “ a sub stance and a form,” that it may receive the la.sh of ridicule, the sting of satire, or the frown of contempt;—if any political adventurer steps forward and say.s, “ I am that knave,” or \ I am that villain,” it is nothing to us. Wc have learnt that no one is ever hurt by that ivhich docs not apply to himself. ‘ Let the feather of the shaft glance over the sound part and it will not bo felt; but let it touch a wounded and ir ritable place, and it will inflict pain and an guish !’ ” Pale with rage, Sroellfungus closed tbe' door with a violence which showed the reproof as well as the offence w’as felt. Even old GniUi- blegumption grinned a smile of exultation at Smellfimgus’s mortification. A young man entered, handed a paper and retired—it read as follow's ? “ Murerid lass wensday by Rev. elder Mak* hay Mr. jon hinghain to Mis olive jiidez awl of th isP lasl’* . Enough, said I, fof ortc' fliOtning, J debouch ed from my corner, leaving Grumblegumption to concliTde his harangue against poems, talcs and newspaper essays, at his leisure. T he M edler . When Noah planted the first vine, and reti red, Satan approached it, and said---;*' I will niir- ' ture you, charming plant!” He ijulckly fetch ed three animals; a sheep, a lion, and a bog, and killed them, one after the other, hear the . vine. The virtue of the blood of these ahimals more, his senses forsake him, and at length he wallows in.,jtbe mire. Need it be said that he then resembles a hog. . The Yankee Climax. —Tbp; drHwing of ,a ricli prize in one of tfie late lotteries, was the means of a l^etiileman from the interiol visiting Boston last iveek, who left behind him a genuine Yan kee morpau. Having received the money, he bethotight himself of something to eat, and ac cordingly presented him.self to the bar of a cele-' hrated hotel, and inquired of the landlord for n dinner; he Was asked, as is customary, what lie w'ould have, when^ after due consideration, he arose, and iti the real spirit o f the nation, said, “'^Vclj, T don’t know; bread and lasses is darni-d good, I swan t” r-,.. a>gFERRIEb By the report of the la?eas«rer of the Ame rican Bible Society, it appears that he received the sum of-^6031. 98 in the month of MaV/ 1823. - In the same mCfath there -were issued 6634 bihles and testaments. , The late Governor Brooki5 \bequeathed by will, the whole .of his valuable medicaliibrary to the Massachusetts .Medical Society. There appears to.h.e some competition be tween some of the northern states, for the ho nor of having made the first turnpike road and the first canal. Mr. Ingersoll, of .Philadelpliia, at a late meeting held in that city’ for the ap pointment of delegates to a General Conven tion at Ilarrishnrgh, to forvvard Internal Im- provementSj observed, in a sjpeech made on the occasion, that “ the Jirsf turnpike that disturb ed the virgin soil of America, was the work of Philadelphia.” Governor Y/olcott, in his mes sage to the Legislature-of Connecticut, noiv in session, says, that “ the first turnpike company in the United States, was created under the au thority of that State.” Mr. Ingcrsoll, in Iho same speech, remarks that “ the first canal projectedand begun imthe Unjon, for connecting the Schuylkill and the Susquehannah, w'as the result of the enterprise p f Philadelphia.” The late governor Eustis of Massachusetts, in his mpssage last winter, to the legislature mention ed the Middlesex canal as being the first in this country. The New'-York Commercial Ad vertiser Considers that state as first in complet ing a canal—the one from the Mohawk river to Wood Creek.— Nat. Journal.
