MISCELLANY 



The last number of ihe Edinburgh Rbv,<.w conlan.s .ome 

 critical remarks on Poems, written By a meehanic, commonly 

 caledtlie Sheffield Brazier. The following cvlracl or com- 

 parisot'of ^,e outward and visible glories of the Creator, ,s 

 eminently fervid and beautiful. 



" God said, ' Let there be light !' 

 Grim darkness felt His might, 



And fled away ; 

 Then, startled seas, and mountains cold 

 Shone forth, all bright in blue and gold, 



And cried, ' 'Tis day ! 'lis day !' 

 ' Hail, holy Light '.' exclaim'd 

 The thund'rons cloud that flam'd 



O'er daisies white ; 

 And lo, the rose, in crimson dress'd, 

 Lean'd sweetly on the lily's breast, 

 And, blushing, murmur'd, ' Light !' 

 Then was the skylark born ; 

 Then rose the embattled corn ; 

 Then floods of praise 

 Flow'd o'er the sunny hills of noon ; 

 And then, in stillest night, the moon 

 Pour'd forth her pensive lays. 

 Lo, heaven's bright bow is glad '. 

 Lo, trees and flowers, all clad 

 In glory, bloom! 

 And shall the mortal sons of God 

 Be senseless as the trodden clod, 

 And darker than the tomb ? 

 No. by the mind of man! 

 By the swart artisan ! 

 By Gou, our sire! 

 Our souls have holy light within. 

 And every form of grief and sin 

 Shall see and fee! its fire. 

 By earth, and hell, and heav'n, 

 The shroud of souls is riven! 

 Mind, mind alone, 

 Ls light, and hope, and life, and power! 

 Earth's deepest night, from this blest hour. 

 The night of minds, is gone ! 



James Eastman, the thief who tried to escape 

 up the chimney, and was stopped by the grate, 

 must liave found it a great bar to his rising. 



In classing birds, we should say weather-cocks 

 are meant for the church; but Mns are decidedly 

 the Jos-subjects of the state. — 17. S. Gaz. 



Dr Franklin, endeavoring to kill a turkey by an 

 electric shock, received the whole battery himself, 

 when he good-naturedly observed, that, instead of 

 killing a turkey, he had nearly put an end to the 

 existence of a goose. 



1.AC01VICS. 



An atictioneer ought to be by nature strong ; for, 

 though only one man, he is often called upon to 

 knock down a lot. 



Spring is welcome to the trees, because they 

 are re-leaved by its approach. 



Those persons who are in business the most 

 sharp, usually get the most blunt. 



All blood may bo said to be useless, which is in 



vein. 



It is remarkable that in music those strains 

 please the most, which are allowed to be dull set. 



The trade of a blacksmith, is one of little labor 

 to himself, inasmuch as most of his work is done 

 by a vice. 



A statesman begins to lower himself when he 

 consents to be hired by others. 



The additional day to February once in four 

 years, seems very naturally to increase the spring 

 necessary to a leap year. 



All persons who can defer their laughter until 

 convenient time, should be taken to the Humane 

 Society "s extraordinary cases of " .suspended ani- 

 mation." 



Those damsels who admire miistachios, must be 

 onsincere in saying they di.slike hair lips. 



When people have red hands, they should al- 

 ways play at loo, as every thing is gained at that 

 game by a palmjiush. 



Pugilists begin their battles from a paradox ; for 

 ihey stand up and "fall to." 



From the Hancock Advertiser. 

 THE IiONG EVENINGS. 



Now come the long evenings, and their employ- 

 ments and amusements. Females, especially, find 

 enough to do. How much truth is in the saying, 

 that " JVomen's work is never done." Who ever 

 considered the number of stitches in a pair of 

 stockings, or a shirt, without trembling lest a gen- 

 eral mutiny among females, might leave him to 

 tremble, or at least to shiver still worse ? And yet 

 the fingers of our industrious help-meets, and 

 daughters, and sisters, seldom tire. 



Cannot some ingenious female— for ingenuity is 

 not confined to one sex— devise a seamless shirt, 

 with its gussets and wristbands, and collar, and 

 selvages, as durable as hemming? 



Every " better half," immense as the labor is, 

 prides herself on thinking that she could never do 

 too much towards making good garments for man. 

 Now is it not in our power to relieve her if she 

 cannot relieve herself, from some of this labor ? 

 Not by getting around the chimney fire-place, 

 mornings and evenings, and by the light of a little 

 pine fuel, put our own hands to the spindle and 

 » take hold of the distaff," as do the men in some 

 parts of Austria ; but by devising machinery for 

 sewing and knitting by steam. ^ 



The following curious article is from Hones 

 Every Day Book ; and may amuse, if it should not 

 instruct. It purports to give the number of stitch- 

 es made by " my aunt," in a " plain shirt for her 



grandfather." __ . ;

A COMMON CHARACTER. 



"There are certain ladies (says Hannah More) 

 who, from being faithful or frugal are reckoned 

 excellent wires, and who indeed make a man every 

 thing but happy. They acquit themselves, perhaps 

 in the great points of duty, but in so ungracious a 

 a way as clearly proves they do not find their 

 pleasure in it. Lest in account of merit they 

 should run too high, they allow themselves to be 

 unpleasant in proportion as they are useful, not 

 considering thai it is almost the worst sort of do- 

 mestic immorality to be disagreeable.
