THE GENESEE EAR3IE1S. 



Feb. 2G, 1831- 



MUSIC FROM SHORE. 



By Mrs. Hemans. 

 A sound comes on the rising breeze, 



A sweet and lovely sound ! 

 Piercing the tumult of the seas, 



That wildly dash around. 



Prom land, from sunny land it comes, 

 From hills with murmuring trees, 



From paths by still and happy homes — 

 That sweet sound on the breeze ! 



Why should its faint and passing sigh 

 Thus bid my quick pulse leap ? 

 -No part in earth's glad melody 

 Is mine upon the deep. 



Yet blessing, blessing on the spot 

 Whence those rich breathings flow ! 



Kind hearts, although they know me not, 

 Like mine must beat and glow. 



And blessings, from the bark that roams 



O'er solitary seas, 

 To those that far in happy homes 



Give sweet sounds to tho breeze ?

THE HORSE. 



The Horse, which did not exist in the new 

 continent before the arrival of Europeans is 

 spread in Europe, and in Iceland, as far as be 

 yond the polar circle. In Asia the horse is 

 scarcely found beyond the G4lh parallel ; in 

 America the rsce has spread to the country of 

 Patagonia, thf; clim?te of which, under the 

 50th degree of south latitude, answers to the 

 climates of the northern hemisphere ly iug- un 

 der the 60th parallel. 



It appears to us, thai there were in ths old 

 continent at least three origin.nl races of hor- 

 ses. The first, and Ihe best proportioned, was 

 ojiginally spread between the 40th and 55ih 

 paialluls, and probably came from Great Bu 

 charia, from Persia, or even from Asia Minor. 



The Tartar steeds, and those of Poland and 

 Hungary, seem to have preserved the original 

 form of the breed. In countries that are mo- 

 derately damp and cold, and where there is 

 rich pasturage, this race has become larger & 

 stronger. The forms which are best devel- 

 oped have acquired that sjmmetry, and that 

 noble warlike gait which mark the Danish, 

 Norman, and English horses. These, how- 

 ever, have been mixed with the Arabian race. 

 The third variety of the first race is a degen- 

 erate breed, produced by the deteriorating in- 

 fluence of a climate excessively damp; we 

 may even trace the different degrees af this 

 rlegeneracy. The horses of the country ut 

 Bremen have their feel worse madf than those 

 of Holstein and Jutland. As we proced to 

 2ast Friesland, their shape grows more aDd 

 .more clumsy. 



The second race is small, and sometimes 

 alinost dwarfish ; its characteristics are a com- 

 pact square form, endowed with great strength 

 and surprizing agility. It appears to derive 

 its origin from the northern upland plains of 

 Asia, from the steppes of Kirguises, although 

 Palhs looks upon the wild horses of these 

 countries as haviug come from the Studs. — 

 This race,according to some accounts, appears 

 to be spread io the north of India, in Chica, k 

 in the islands of Japan. It is more certain that 

 trie breed is common in Russia and in Scandi- 

 navia. The Norwegians introduced it into 

 Iceland and Scotland. It exists in the Danish 

 Island of Zeeland. 



The third race of horses is possessed of the 

 most showy properties, being extremly swift, 

 supple, vigorous, and mettlesome. We mean 

 (lie " Arab race," which undoubtedly has a 

 common origin with that of Barbary, if it has 

 no} given btrfti to it. The A«flalu5lan horsos 



are its lineal descendants. The English say I about a fortnight ago. He said he should leave 

 that their racehorses are directly spruuff from ;iil,is, together with others of smaller size. 



crossing the Arab with the Barbary. Histoiy 

 proves, that the Romans, the Saxons, the 

 Danes, and the Normans, by introducing into 

 Britain the various races of their respective 

 countries, laid the foundation of the English 

 breed. Private persons afterword, from time 

 to time, imported Arabian and Barbary stall- 

 ions. — Malte-brun.

CHATTER OP CRIME lli NEW YORK. 



During the year 1830, as appoars from a care- 

 ful examination of the records kept by the clerk 

 ot the Oyer and Terminer and Court of Ses- 

 sions, there were seven hundred and seventy- 

 three parsons sentenced by those Courts to ims 

 orisonmont, as follows : — to the State Prison 

 137, Penitentiary 590, City Prison 37, and to 

 the House of Refuge 9. 



Tho following enumeration of the character 

 and grades of offence, of which they, with 

 others who were discharged with fin3s, were 

 severally committed, is derived officially from

BERYL. 



The following paragraph is circulating in 

 the papers: 



A Beryl. — There is at St. Pefersburgh, 

 says the Mining Journal, published there, a 

 beiyl, found three years ago near Murzinkaja, 

 in tlie district of Catherineburg, .vhicQ is above 

 11 pounds in weight, and valued at £27,000- 



This is a large and precious beryl, but small 

 both in size aDd value, if value go with size, 

 compared with the one named io the following 

 statement, made to the Troy Sentinel by Pro- 

 fessor Baton, of the Rensselaer School. After 

 referring to the Russian heryl, he says : 



*' A poor laboring maD has got out a beryl 

 from a rock in Ackworth, New Hampshire, 

 which weighs between 50 and 100 pouuds. — 

 This I nidge from its size , 1 have not seen it 

 weighed. He callctl al the Rensselaer School 



THE GA1UERER. 



" A snapper op of unconsidered trifles."— Shakt. 



Cato,(be Censor, being scurnlouslv treated 

 bv a fellow who led a liceutious and dissolute 

 lite, a "contest," said he. " between thee and 

 me is very unequal, for thou canst bear ill Ian 

 guage wkh ease, and return it with pleasure, 

 but as for my pait, 'tis nnusual for me to hear 

 it, and disagreeable to speak it." 



Spectacles were first Rented by Spina, a 

 monk of Pisa, in the year 5200. 



Men show particular folly on five diffcren 

 occasions : When they establish their fortune 

 on the ruin of others; when they expect to 

 excite love by colduess, and by showing more 

 marks of dislike thau affection ; when they 

 wish to become learned in the midst of repose 

 and pleasure ; when they seok fiiends without 

 [making any advances of friendship; and when 

 they are unwilling to succour their friends in 

 distress. 



Spinning wheels were first invented a' 

 Brunswick, in Germany, in 1630. 



To delicate minds, the unfortunate are al- 

 ways objects cf respect ; as the ancients held 

 sacred those places which had been blasted by 

 lightning, so the feeling heart considers the 

 afflicted as touched by the hand of God him- 

 self. 



Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or 

 squirrels in chain, ambitious men still climb 

 and climb, with gieat labor and incessant anx- 

 iety, but never reach the lop. 



The brain of a hasty man is like a sooly 

 chimney; it is continually in danger of taking 

 fire from the flames beneath. The brain of a 

 well ordered and quiet citizen is like a chim- 

 ney newly swept ; the sparks of passion pass 

 through it, and escape without danger into the 

 cooler regions of thought and reflection. 



Flowers of ihetoric in sermons and seriou- 

 discourses, are like the blue and red flowers 

 in corn — pleasing to those who come ooly for 

 amusement, but prejudicial to him who would 

 reap Ihe profit from it.
