: Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high. O, receive, 0, receive my soul at last. HYMN. 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, O, receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on thee; With the shadow of thy wing.. 3 Thou, O God, art all I want; More than all in thee I find! · Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; Vile and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, Freely let me take of thee, CHEERFULNESS. After a dark, tempestuous night, After a scene of deep distress, How like the incense-breathing Spring, Where all the plumy warblers sing, Does Cheerfulness a charm bestow, To mitigate the throbs of wo. In the pure heart that Virtue gilds,⚫ Hail, Cheerfulness! shed far thy light, To cheer this anxious breast of mine. And, let thy softest charm attend THE EYE. Magic, wonder-beaming eye! In thy narrow circle lie All our varied hopes and fears, Sportive smiles, and graceful tears! Eager wishes, wild alarms, Rapid feeling's potent charms! Wit and genius, taste and sense, Shed, through thee, their influence! Honest index of the soul, Nobly scorning all control, Silent language, ever flowing, Every secret thought avowing, Pleasure's seat, Love's favorite throne, Every triumph is thy own! THE TEAR. Sacred boon of favoring Heaven! Melting child of mute affliction, Reconcilement's sweet oblation, Oh how near allied to sorrow Are our transports most sincere! Humid eyes, that softly languish, EPIGRAM. On Lucy-Ann's face all, astonish'd, may find, MAXIMS. He that hath, or would have, friends, must show himself friendly. The hope of the ungodly is like dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the storm; like the smoke that is dispersed with the tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarrieth but a day. The passions are the only orators that succeed; they are, às it were, nature's art of eloquence, fraught with infallible rules. He knows not how to speak who cannot be silent; still less how to act with vigor and decision. INCREASE OF DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES. The Mess. Harris's, of Richmond, Virginia, are building on the canal in the vicinity of that city, a Spinning and Weaving Manufactory, which will cost nearly one hundred thousand dollars. In order to avoid the usual fate of such institutions, it is built on an entirely new plan, being almost completely fire-proof; the floors are supported on arches of brick, so that if one room should catch fire, its contents may be consumed without spreading the flames to the other parts of the building. It will go into operation in about three months. There is an opening in that city for other branches of manufactures, which gentlemen of capital and enterprise might undoubtedly prosecute with advantage to themselves and benefit to the country. We want cutlery and hardware, scythes, knives and forks, all sorts of tools for carpenters, &c. &c. and in that place abundant supplies of coal, iron, and water, can be procured, with the greatest facility. AMERICAN WINE. From the following advertisement, which we copy from a paper published at Cincinnati, (Ohio) it appears, that the colony of enterprising and industrious Swiss, who have settled in the Indiana territory, have succeeded in making wine from the Bordeaux grape, in no wise inferior to that imported from France; and that they have also cultivated with success the Madeira and other grapes proper for manufacturing white wines... The United States, as they embrace almost every variety of climate, are destined to produce every article, either of necessity, convenience, or luxury, which is raised in the torrid zone, or the more temperate climates of the north. Use a little wine for thy stomach's sake. "Daniel Debattez respectfully informs his friends and the public in general, that he has just received a supply of good Red Wine, the growth of the New Switzerland (Indiana Territory) vineyards, superior in quality to the common Bordeaux Claret, and besides possessing the precious advantage (in case of sickness) of being exempt from the mixtures usually mingled in the imported wines. He offers his wine at two dollars per gallon, and he will be supplied afterwards with old red, white, and Madeira wine, of the same vineyards. For the accommodation of the tavern-keepers and other gentlemen, he will provide them with small kegs and bottles, to be taken back for the same price paid. He pledges himself, that those willing to make an essay of this wine, will soon be convinced of the possibility to raise, on the soil of the United States, wine of as good a quality as what is imported from Europe. He hopes, however, that our country's friends will endeavor, by their patronage, to support the exertions of the Swiss to introduce and propagate among us, a culture as advantageous to the interest of America, as necessary to the health and comfort of her citizens." |
