Messrs. Tysons, of Baltimore, have been destroyed by fire, together with a large quantity of grain.

The leaves of the Wild Cherry tree are found to be poisonous to cattle. A farmer in Pennsylvania, a few weeks since, having fallen one of those trees, six of his cows eat of the leaves, and died in the course of half an hour afterwards. Prudence therefore dictates, that when it becomes necessary to cut down a tree of this kind, that the branches and leaves should be burnt immediately, as cattle are fond of them, and liable to die instantaneously, by eating them too freely.

But still thy features wore that light
That fades not with the breath;
And life ne'er look'd more purely bright
Than in thy smile of death.

As streams that run o'er golden mines
With modest murmut glide,

Nor seems to know the wealth that shines
Beneath their crystal tide;

So veil'd within a simple guise,
Thy radiant genius shone,
And that which charm'd all other eyes,
Seem'd worthless in thine own.
If souls could always dwell above,
Thou ne'er hadst left thy sphere,
Or, could we keep the soul we love
We had not lost thee here;
Though many a gifted mind we meet,
Though fairest forms we see,
To live with them is fur less sweet
Than to remember thee.

"GO, AND SIN NO MORE."

Oh! woman, if by simple wile

Thy soul has stray'd from honour's track, Tis mercy only can beguile,

By gentle ways, the wanderer back.

The stain that on thy virtue lies,
Wash'd by thy tears, may yet decay,
As clouds that sully morning skies

May all be swept in showers away.

Go, go-be innocent, and live

The tongues of men may wound thee sore; But heav'n in pity can forgive,

And bid thee "go, and sin no more."

When Harry was old' to Maria he said

"My dear, if you please, we will marry."

Maria replied with a toss of the head,

"I never will wed thee, Old Harry!"

He waited till all her gay suitors were gone,
Then cried, "a fine dance they have led you.
The hand that I proffered, you treated with scorn,
And now, the Old Harry won't wed

A travelling tin merchant, (says the Schoharie Republican,) from the land of 'wooden nutniegs and horn gun flints,' while moving with his portable warehouse through an adjoining town, called upon a very shrewd descendant of St. Crispin, or in other words, a pretty "wide awake" shoemaker, who, having on hand a Plattsburgh dollar, thought the present opportunity a fine one for disposing of it-besides the immortal honour he would acquire by having 'taken in a Yankee pedlar,' a consideration of no small importance, it being generally believed a difficult point to accomplish. He accordingly bought a tin paste horne, and giving a knowing wink to the by-standers, offered his Plattsburgh bill, and requested his change. The pedlar looked grave, and shook his head-he did not like the bill, he said, for he had heard the bank was down. Crispin said, there was no such thing-the report was set afloat by brokers and speculators, men not to be relied upon-the bills were perfectly good; as good as specie

and as to that matter, a little better, because it was less trouble to carry it;" and all the spectators joined with him, in recommending the bill to be a good bill, and the bank that issued it, to be a bank of 'exceeding good repute." The bill being so highly recommended, the unsuspecting pedlar put it in his pocket, and handed out the change-the bystanders put on long faces-the shoemaker laughed behind his ears, and no one looked really honest but the pedlar. But trading did not stop here; Crispin, elated with success, offered to sell the man of tin a lot of shoes, at a reduced price, for cash. The pedlar bargained for them at $10-deposited the shoes in the cart box-paid the amount in Plattsburgh bills and drove leisurely off whistleing the old tune of 'catch a weasle asleep."

RATS-An innkeeper lately complaining to a gentleman, that his house was greatly infested with rats, and that he would willingly give a considerable sum to get rid of them, was on the following morning thus accosted by a Frenchman, after he had received his bill. I vill assure you, sir, I shall tell you vich vay you shall get rid of de rat.' 'I will be much obliged to you if you can,' replied the landlord."Vell den, only charge de rat as you charge me, and I'll be hanged if de rat ever come to your house again!"

We are daily furnished with accounts of disasters arising from the late heavy rains. The last Hartford paper states, that a number of bridges, mills, dams, and houses had been swept away, particularly in the vicinity of Farmington river. Granby the loss has been severe; at Westfield and Southwick, a number of bridges and powder-mills had been destroyed. By the sudden and extraordinary rise of the Connecticut river, almost every thing lodged on its banks, had been carried away, and literally filled the river with the floating masses of wood timber, and other articles washed away from their places of deposit.

DIED,

the

In Brattleborough, Vt. on Wednesday night, 16th Aug. Hon ROYALL TYLER, Esq. aged 66. Judge Tyler was a native of Boston, and commenced his public life as Aid-de-camp to Gen. Lincoln,' who commanded the army that suppressed the rebellion of Shays, in 1786-7. During that campaign, Mr Tyler was charged by Gen. Lincoln with a special mission to the government of Vermont then administered by the Father of this State, the venerable Thomas Chittenden. Upon that occasion Mr T. was permitted to address the Legislature of this State, then in session at Bennington, and displayed for the first time to "Green Mountain Boys" charms of that classical eloquence which has since given great celebrity to his name. The circumstances of this mission are recorded in Judge Minot's elegant history of the Rebellion in Massachusetts. About four years afterwards Mr Tyler removed to Vermont, and very soon became one of our most distiguished advocates. He was an assistant Judge of the Supreme Court six years, and Chief Judge of the same Court six years more. As a man of genius, a poet, and orator, a civilian, an erudite and accomplished scholar, and a gentleman of the most elegant and endearing manners in social and domestic life, his memory will long be cherished with affection and respect, by the companions of his youth in Massachusetts, and those of his mature and declining years in Vermont. "The Algerine Captive," unquestionably one of the most original and brilliant productions of this generation, will for ever secure him a high rank among American writers, and the future admirers of his beautiful poems will give his name in charge to the sweet lyre. Bratt. Messenger.

[Judge T. studied his profession under the late Pres. Adams.]

LIFE OF MURRAY,

BOWEN & CUSHING Propose publishing by subscription a second edition of the Life of John Murray, the First Preacher of Universalism in America. Written by himself.

Conditions. It will be printed in a neat duodecimo form, on good paper and handsome type, and will contain about 350 pages, accompanied with a well engraved and correct likeness of the author, and delivered to subscribers at $1,25 handsomely bound and lettered, or $1 in boards. Those who become accountable for six copies, will be entitied to a seventh gratis.

The work will be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained; and persons holding subscription papers are requested to make returns by the 6rst of October next, that there may be no unnecessary delay in the publication.
