MISCELLANY. 



For the New England Fanner, 

 NEW ENGIiAND MUSEUM. 



This curious Cabinet of Nature 

 Exhibits to the rapt Speclalor 

 Such samples of Omjiific skill 

 As mustwitli admiration lill 

 The mind which sees in every part 

 The emblems of Omniscient Art. 



Superb saloons, to ravished eyes, 

 Tales oriental realize, 

 More admirable scenes unfold 

 Thau Palaces, which glare with gold, 

 Adorn'd with all ambition craves, 

 But tenanted by splendid slaves. 

 Here all that Ocean, Earth and Air 

 Can yield that's wonderful and rare. 

 Whatever Art or Nature can 

 Contribute to astonish man — 

 What science most delights to trace 

 Is found in its appropriate place j— • 

 Each room presents the connoisseur 

 A Noah's Ark in miniature ; 

 Each beast that was or is alive 

 Has here its Representative : 

 But, since said Parliament of brutes 

 Is, luckily, composed of mutes, 

 'Tis belter oiT tlian Legislatures 

 Plagued with pert proud perpetual praters. 



Here Music, too, to mortal ears. 

 Transcends the trilling of the spheres — 

 Hark ! now it peals superbly grand 

 As if Bethoven led his band. 

 And " Haydn's Creation" blent sonorous 

 With " Handel's Hallelujah Chorus,"— 

 Now dies away to strains like those 

 In which Zephyrus woos the rose . — 

 As if Aurora's lips of mist 

 The wild harp of j'Eolus kiss'd. 

 And, from half evanescent wings. 

 Flung dew drops o'er its warbling strings, 

 Murmuring tones as soft and sweet 

 As Love can breathe at Beauty's feet. 



Now changes to a comic air, 

 Which might give rapture to Despair, 

 From Melancholy chase the vapors, 

 And make an Anchorite cut capers ! 



Here have we Venusses and Graces, 

 Such paragons in shapes and faces, 

 That amateurs may fall before them. 

 Without idolatry adore them ; — 

 For in God's fairest works we see 

 Such semblances of Deity, 

 It is not heresy which seems 

 To view the fotuUaiu in its streams. 



Here by the Painter's magic art 

 Sages deeeas'd to being start, 

 Behold on every side they meet you. 

 And seem to say " we're glad to greet you !" 



To sum up all without verbosity, 

 Here every sort of curiosity. 

 Which Art or Nature ever made 

 In one assemblage is display'd. 

 Then, geiulc reader, call and see them 

 In said Novaiiglian Museum. Viator. 



lAff. of a Gentleman. He gets up leisurely, 

 breakfasts comfortal.ly, reads the paper regularlv, 

 dresses fashionably, eats a tart gravely, talks insip- 

 idly, dines consiJerably, drinks snpeifltioiisly, kills 

 time indifferently, sups elegantly, goes to bed stu- 

 pidly, and lives uselessly. 



For the New Enrrlantl Far 



When a youth I taught a school in a district of 

 my native town. During which time I had occa- 

 sion to make use of a dollar. I applied to the agent 

 vifith whom I was intimately acquainted, and a 

 particular friend of mine. He reatlily granted my 

 request and set down to write a receipt. Lan- 

 guage fails me to describe my feelings at that mo- 

 ment. What! thought T to myself, cannot my 

 friend trust me with one dollar ! ! My confusion 

 w.ts so great that it must have been evident to 

 every one present. He, with a smile, observed to 

 me, " you must trade with honest men as with 

 rogues." This partially relieved my mind, and 

 after due consideration 1 concluded that my friend 

 was right. This observation of my friend cost me 

 much at the time, but would have saved me more 

 had 1 practised upon it. 



After 1 began to act for myself, a neighbor of 

 mine, reputed to be an honest man, at least I 

 thought him so, offered me a piece of land for 

 four hundred dollars ; the payments to be made in 

 a way most convenient for me. We agreed, and I 

 was to come into possession in a few months after. 

 I considered the land to be mine, made one pay- 

 ment; but neglected to take a deed, thinking that 

 it might he done at any time, [irobably when 1 

 should make the next payment. 



After some little time the honest man found that 

 the land was a great accommodation to me, and 

 probably thought that he should obtain more 

 money, informed me that he had sold the laud for 

 less than it was worth, that he was deceived as to 

 the worth of land, and gave me to understand 

 that he could get more for it; theret^n;, ou ilic 

 whole, he considered the bargain mdl and void : 

 but still I might have the land, in preference to 

 any one, by paying six hundred dollars for it. I 

 was astonished, lamented that I had not ob.served 

 my fiienil's injunction and saved two hundred dol- 

 lars. Argunicnts availed me nothing, and after a 

 little reflection, as I had calculated to settle on the 

 laud, it being happily situated for me, I took a 

 deed and paid the six hundred dollars. Since 

 which time, I have observed the injunction and 

 have found it of no inconsiderable advantage to me 

 through a long course of years. 



To the honor of human nature, and with pleas- 

 ure I say it, that in the course of my life I have 

 found many men with whom untold gold may be 

 entrusted ; and yet they may forget, and they are 

 subject to mistakes and to death, as others. It is 

 no harm to see and to calculate for ourselves, and 

 to do business at the proper time and in a right 

 manner. 



There are many men, however, who are re- 

 puted honest, yet if we do not tread closely to 

 their heels they will in some way deceive us — all 

 will not be right. The agreement or bargain to 

 which they have assented will not be perfectly ful- 

 filled. Beware of the bargain, when the seller 

 declines to name the price at the time, and says, 

 "there will be no difficulty about it." 



How will you trade with a rogue? Honorably 

 to be sure, consider and judge for yourself; com- 

 mit yotn- agreements to pa])er, and when money 

 is paid take a receipt. What better way can you 

 trade with an honest man ? All men are to be 

 considered honest until they are found to be other- 

 wise, hence the motto, " trade with honest men as 

 with rogues," is a general rtde, the observance of 

 which may ijrevent much trouble and litigation.
