THE SONG OF‘THE SWISS,
- - In a zIz's-taut Country.
_ BY JAMES MONTGOMERY.
0 when shall I visit the land of my birth,
The loveliest land on the face of the earth?
I/Vhen shall I those scenes of affection explore,
Our fotests--our fountains,
Our hamlets-—our mountains, .
‘With the pride of our mountains, the maid I a-
_ (lore ? ' _ _
O 1 when shall Idance on the duizy \‘.’i__‘:1lt: mead,
In the shade of an elm, to the sound of a med 3

\Vhen shall I return to that holy retreat?»
‘t,Vhc;-e all my fond objects of tenderness meet ;
The lambs anti the heifers that follow my call,
My father-—-my mother, ‘
My sister--my brother,‘
And dear Isabella, the joy of them all ?
O I when shall I visit the land of my birth ?
’Tis the loveliest land on the face of the earth !

 

FROM THE CHARLESTON TIMES.
LOVEK5‘ FIRS I‘ SIGH.
If there’s an hour more swect, more blest,
Amid life’s chequer’d scene ;
If joy ere £ill’d the artless breast,
Its cares and fears between ;
"fis when the heart, it knows not why, .
"With rapture fill’d, breathes lore’s lirst sigh.
How swiftly sweet the moments fly:
’Mid groves or flowery dells,
‘tVhen fondly gazing on that eye
V‘/' here purest passion dwells, _
And the young bosom throbbing high,
'With fond alarms breatlies love’s first sigh.
find though the time is ever fled,
And past the joys it gave,
Yet still shall memory sweetly shed,
Like moon-beams on the ware-—
A beam that yet shall lighttlic eye,
fitnl cheer with thought of love’s firstgsigh.

‘by young -women, each of whom would plant half

.. :\3_fhat..a shame, then, for anymarz to shrink at
trhe z‘rouZ_2le and ‘;'ab_our of such ma‘ttci'! Nor let it

ilie imagined, that these young women were poor,

iiiiserable, ragged creatures. They wet-e just the

neatness, for which the women of the south of
England are so justly famed, served to aid in the
completion of tlieirapgpearance, which was that
of the fine rosy cheegtyud country gials, fit’ to be
/n°!/I-mates, and not §\_l.l5Ul.'_tll€ll to their future hus-
bands.’ t - - i V

This reminds uS_Qf,fl1€ good fashion among the
r.ount'."y girls of New-Eqnglanil, who, on the ap-
proach of a shower inthé hay-making; ‘season,
haste to the fields, and by their be'itttty,'ip’tltisti'y,
andcheerfulness, imigoratr: the rustic "strains,
and bear a conspicuous part in the labour of the
linsbandman. Vie would merely ask, where is
the young man who would not prefer a ‘ -’1c//z-ma..'c’
of tlie‘above description, to the one who has only
to recommend her, a skill‘ on the piano, dexterity
in practising the ‘ Gsworrzj,‘ or ztrtfulness in sing-
ing 3 ‘

Behold the rosy cheeketl maid, ai'ray_ed in all
iheinnocence and beauty of her own iiative plains,
uut}',clo't~necl_by foreign fabrics, see in her the prac-
tice of Vlt'l':t_t: and health, while the nioi‘efas/}z'tni-
able ones of the metropolis are arrayed‘.i'n all the
extravaganciesrof the world, and have ‘no charms
for the man of reason and t‘efl_ccLion.

Nor are the country ladies destitute of tit.-".it
sound judgment and taste, with which the fair of
the metropolisseein to think themselves exclu-
sively favoured. You will find, Mr. Editor, as
much real science, in any thing that adorns the
mind, and more that adorn the person, in the in-
land towns of New~England, than in the enlig/in
cncd sea-ports. ,

That the good old times of our ancestors have
changed, there is no need of attempts to proves‘.
that the manners of the softer sex have deteriora-
ted, it is presumed no one will deny. The cause
may be tracedto various sources ; but principally
to the iniiuence of luxury. The effect of this‘
change, perhaps, no one would pretend to pre-
dict; it is already siiflicieutly apparent to cause
the most melanclicly refiections as to the future
prospectsof. our grmiing country. I*‘or-in;-rly, '..t
young man would not hesitate to enter the ‘ holy
state of wedlock," with only a few pounds in his
pocket, and a probable calciilayion on as many
more for hisyearly income. Now the possession
of many thousands of_ dollars will hardly satisfy
his expectations, or conquer the scrupl’es of his
Dulcinea. To be in a situation to marry, he must
be enabled, as Dr. Johnson has said, to ‘ ride in
coaches that will whirl l-ike. ieteors, and live in
palaces that rise like exh-alations.’ The conse-
quence is, that our list of marriages grows small-
er daily ; andthose who are compelled to linger
out alifc oflean Nlibact/, and ‘ single blessedness,’

continually increase in number.

ANECDOTES. —

M ii. NOAII, in his interesting book of travels,
has given some briefsketcbes ofthe general char-
3Ct<=t'a and manners and customs of the inhabit-
ants of the Barbarystates. From these sketcli-
es we copy the following, which may serve to a-
muse our readers z-_. _ V

MOORISH MAGNANIMITY.

During the war in the Peiiinsitla, transports
and other government vessels were frequently
sent froin (Jibrziltar to Tangier ; but to prevent
quarziiitlne, tliesevessels had no communication
with the fillOl‘c; and strict orders were given to
|)t':l‘l'!tiI no Moor to come on board. A sldop of
war arriving from Catliz, anchored. in the hay,
and the captain of the port, an athletic man, of
5"?’ ii-’0ii"§t'5a go‘o"cl character, and perfectly con-
x'ersuiit with the lfinglisli and Spanish languages,
got into his sl-tiff, and paddled towards the vessel.
He got under the stern, and before he was ob-
served, reached the deck. The Lieutenant: on
watch, enraged at the violation of‘ orders,‘ and fear
ol_ quarantine, in a moment of forgetfuluess,
stized a rope, and ‘very severely ‘beat {he Moor,
who got into his skill‘ and returned to the port :
He made no complaint ; told no one of the cir_-_
cui'z‘istance ; although a greater outrage cannot
be oll'ei'ed by a Christian to it Mussclman‘: fie
watched an opportunity to retaliate 1;‘ the Lieuten-
ant was compelled to land on-business; he re-
turned to the beach at dusk; the gates of thr-
town were shut; no boat was ready to rs-.e.~£Qt;.
him; the whistling ofthe wind drowned his \'«.*-'..‘.~.~.r. ,
he walked the beach in agitation, when the cap-
tain of the port accosted‘ him ; and on learning

' his situation, prepared his skill‘ and rowed him to

his vesssal. ‘ You may reriiember, Sir,’ said he,
‘ when in the execution of the duties of my of-
fice, I landed on the deck of this ship, you dis-
graced me by beating me with a rope, and, with-
out [-rovocation 2 I could have thrown you from
my skiff into the sea, and thus have-taken satis-
faction; but you entrusted yourself to me, :.-‘mi
guarantee your safety ; this, Sir,’ said he, as he
pushed rill‘ from’ thevcsscl, ‘ is the vengeance of
a Moor.’ V f

A IIA;\'iOL‘D.'\ ‘PACHA. _ .

This extraordiiiary “man governed Tunis as

‘Bey, for 32 years and with perfect tranquity. He

was (listing-uisctl for bravei‘y,-"vigilance, shrewd-
ness, and sagacity; and was deservedly popular
among his countrymen. Yrotti a habit of admin»
istering justice for aiiaiiy years, Mr. Nos-li)
Hamouda Pacha had aecnstonied himself to a .
promptness and decision" tvhicli never ctlmitzecl oi
quibble ‘or delay. If a crime was committed,
the culprit was iininetlieiely brought before him,
the exidence adduced, the tlefeiice heard, the sen-
tence given, and the execution inimediately fid-
lowed. flc spoke little’; never without reflection,
and always to the purpose. Ile accustomed-
himself to read the looks of men with a keen
scrutiny, which seldom OI‘-C‘-'t:l‘ deceived him in
his ideas of,,chat'acter ; and this species of inves-
tigation had’ become so familiar to him, that he
was accounted a physiognomist of the first or-
der.- One fact alone will serve to illustrate this :
A Bedouin had‘ a horse which be highly valu-
ed, and which he was in danger of losing by sick-
ness. In the fervor of- his zeal, and inconformi-’
ty to the superstitious customs of the country,
he vowed that if his "horse recovered, he would
present his favorite saint with 100 piasters. ’i‘l:=.:
horse was pronounced out of danger, and the Be-
douin» On Serious reflection, regretted the extrav-
agant vow he had made. Consoling himself,
however. with the assurance, that it was unknown ;
to any but himself, he deliberated on the best
nicans of getting rid of the claim; and atlcmsl-,
ingly, after a long struggle between his con-
science and his avarice, he 'decided to pay the
saint 50’ piasters, being. the one half of the ori-
ginal proiiiise. ‘
The Bey is trustee of all sums offered to the
numerous‘ saints in the kingdom, to whom he is
accountable, and doubtless is prepared for settle-
ment when called upon by them. The Bedotii-ti
repaired to the place with his 50 pi’as‘.et's, and
told his story. The Boy, struck with the hesit?
ating manner of the man, suspecied that all vvat-.1
not right; and, during the recapitulation of his‘
story, be fixed his eyes upon him with remarka-
ble kcriiness, and on his conclusion he said to
him--W rctch, tell‘ me quickly, did you not prom-
ise the saint l0O piasters? The aflrightetl Bedou-

. in fell on his knees and confessed the fact. Catili‘,

said the Bey, do _vou think that any thing is con-
cealed from me, who am niyselfasaint 1 Begoiie
bring the 100 plasters, and, as a punishment lbr
your sacrilege, you shall receive 100 blows lm

BEROISM or A QUAKER.
In the Am-:i'ican war, a Netv-York tiacl-er
was chased by a Frfencli privateer, and liaving 4
guns and plenty of small arms, it was agreed to
stand a brush with the erciny, rather than be ta-
ken prisoners. Arnoiig several other passengers
was an athletic quaker, who,'though he withstood
every solicitation to lend a hand as being contra-
ry to his religious tenets, keptwalkiog backward
and forward on the deck without any apparent
fear; the enemy all the time potiring in their
shot. At length the vessels liavitig approached
,cl'o'§ to -each other, a clispositi-on to board‘was
ma ' _' _d by the French, which was very soon
,' . ecution; and the quaker being onthe
look out, the first man that jumped on board, he
unexpectedly spi'apg.tovga-t‘d. and grappling him

Vforcibl. b the collar, saitl, ‘ Friend, thou hast no
Y

business here,’ at the same time lioisting him‘o-
ver the ship’s side.

A widow, who had been taught by her deceased
husband to believe he would make a will much
in her favor, after his death found upon opening
his testament that he had acted very different,
and excluded her from the property she expect-
ed to possess. She made known her disappoint-
merit to her female servant who cheered her spi-
rits by assuring her that the -.-fi‘:ct_ of the will
might be avoided and a new one easily framed.
The mistress desired to know by what means.—-
The maid answered that there was a poor fellow
named Tom, the barber. in the zxeighborliood
who much resembled her l-.i'.- master, and that
for a small sum he would fail; himself a dying
‘man. If tlierefore an attorney was provided
and proper witnesses, a v."il'i s-ibscqticiit to the
date of the true. one, which consequently would
si'ipercede it,,might be inade.

Tom was sent for accoi'di'ngly and agreed to
play his part. The parties were summoned, the
attorney attended, and the expiring husband dic-
tated his last testament to be frzituetl according
to the wishes and iutjci'es‘ts of his iniagiiiary wife
for some time; but at length he proposed, that
as ho had till then. compiled with her desires» lit‘
might leave one legacy according to his own
wish, which was 1500!. to Tom the Barber 1 To
pvicveiit a discovery of the fraud, the lady was 0-
bliged to consent and pay the money to-the pro-
poser, in order to insure‘ secrecy.

The folloiving advertisement appeared in
Granway’s Daily Advertiser, printed in Calcutta,
on the 6th September, 1818: ‘_Beit known, that
six fair and pretty young Ladies, with two sweet
