THE RETURN.
" To the home of my child/mod in sorrow Icame,
tdnd 1 fondly expected to find it the same,
.-Full qfsilfls/t.'f7lc and joy as I thought it to be,
In days when the world was all sunshine to me.”
THERE was one who never said or sting, or
heard, these beautiful and pathetic lines witli—
out a tear. Poor Ma_vwood,his memory haunts
me yet, tho’ almost twice ten sumtners have
srniled above his grave. The spot ofearth that
was our home in childhood always takes fast
hold ofour affections, and our earliest friends
are remembered with the warmest lieart.+
VVhen trials press around, and troubles crowd
bur pathway, as we pass our journey to the
consunnnatiou ofour dcstiues, we turn to the
peaceful heritage of our fathers, still rolied by
fancy in its fadeless green, as to the only bright
abode in e wide world, and lose in the con-
templation fits remembered loveliness one
half the pain and tumult ofthe present; and
so, too, when the friends oflater years grow
faithless and deceive us, the light ofyouthful
friendships,undimmetl in the distance, glow
brighter and still more bright, as astar that
faintly twiukled in the twilight, blazes in all
its native lustre, when the gathered shades of
night crowd into the deep bosom ofthe heav-
ens. It was thus with Maywood.
He was born and brought up on the banks
of the Hudson, not indeed in the midst oflux-
ury, but surrounded by plenty, and blest with
an unbroken circle ofbosoru friends and rela-
tives—a father whom he loved as life, and well
he might,for he was one ofthe best ofparents;
a mother, whose soul was wrapt up in the dar-
ling boy, and who idolized him almost to a
fault; a brother and sister younger than him-
self, and loved by him more fondly because
they were more helpless ; and a company of
schoolmates, in whose merry holiday circles
he was the umpire ofevery controversy, and
the prince to whom they "paid the largest tri-
bute of their affections. Here he had dwelt
for years, and as be ripened into youthful vig-
or,aud scenes so delightful and so full ofbliss,
his very existence became wrapt up day by
day in the~endearuients of his home, and the
enjoy inent ofcalm and unrnflled peacefulness.
Besides all, there was one other ligament,
which had all these been severed, would have
’bound‘him to the scenes of his childhood, had
fortune willed it, forever. Beauty threw her
witcliing chain around him at an early day,
and itgrew stronger, as he grew older. Au-
nette was a year younger than himself. From
the coinpauion of his infancy, and the partak-
er of his sports, she became the tnistress ofhis
first affection, and where love is mutual, as it
was here, it is not apt to be quenched even by
time itself. She wasa. bewitching creature,
beautiful beyond expression, and in the full
bloom of health, gay, sprightly and fond of
those who loved her; returning the homage
of worship with worsliip,even more nearly al-
lied to idolatry, it was no wonder that May-
wood loved—uo wonder, that as he grew to-
wards manliood,his_sot.il reflected but the light
ofhers. But he was not permitted always to
enjoy his native haunts and mingle in this lov-
ed society. A wealtliyuncle came over frotn
England on a visit to his father, and became
3; much attached to him that he resolved to
take him to London on his return. The titne
arrived, a week was spent in bidding adieu to
his friends, one half ofwhich was spent in sol-
itary rambles with his adored Annette. Lu:
leaving the reader to imagine what passed be-
tween them, I tnust hurry him off to England.
He had lived there several years; when his
uncle, being largely interested in property in
tlreltiast-lridies, sent him to Java, to close his
business. He rcmtritied in the eastern climes
three years, and returned with a constitution
tottering in ruins. Mean time his uncle had
married ; new friends and connexions brought
with them new attachments and new views,
and Maywood found, instead of wealth and
honor, and the full flow of grateful affection
for the most important services, a coldrecep-
tion, and the formalities ofa close and exact
settlement. He was stung with this behaviour
to the quick, and desired, as the only reward
for years of toil, and the sacrifices ofliealth, to
be once more placed upon his native shore ;
once more restored to the bosom ofhis father’s
home. It was granted, and two months after
he landed at Philadelphia.
Though twelve years had now elapsed since
he left the banks of the Hudson, during the
last six of which the storms of the revolution
had raged,and he had received no intelligence
from honi_c; he dweltupon the anticipation of
the visit with an enthusiast’s deliglit,and count-
ed over the days and hours that were yet to in-
tervene between him and his native Hudson,‘
with all tli'e' impatience ofluve and friendship.
At length he set forward, and after an impa-
tientjoumey of two days, the wild. and,tna-
jestic scenery of that noble river arose before
him. \Vith eager eyes and a full heart, in
breathless anxiety, he rode towards his native
valley. It was late in the evening, but the
moon shone bright; and by its light, as he
'r’e‘a‘cheé the int;-. that lead towards the 'i‘r‘i‘1a‘r’:'9-
‘sion of his father, hesaw a titan reeling along
tli'e fence, in a state of deep intoxication ; the
stranger observed ‘him, and accosting him Erb-
ruptly,he discovered that it washis only broth-
this unexpected interview, he did not ‘make
hims’elf' -known, but asked the young man a-
bout his father. My father and mother are
b‘oth.dead, said he, and are buried where you
- ‘see those white tomb stones, in yonder field.-~
‘ And your sister ?’—She diedpsix years ago.-“-
Maywood hid his face in his handkerchief,
and sobbedialoud ; he dared not make an in-
quiry about Annette, but pursued his way to
_ the house, followed by his, unfortunate brotli-
' er. He entered the sacred mansion, now
V changed, indeed from its former neatness and
beauty,and presenting the very picture of pov-
erty, and ruin. "The door fiew open, and the
first object that met his eye was the pale and
faded features of Annette ; she was his broth-
er’s wife! and when she saw him she raised
her hands and slirieked with a voice that bro’t
her tattered children around her.
-As one who is suddenly roused from adream
ofrapturous bliss to behold the march of des-
olation and the hopeless waste of ruin, longs
to ‘shut his "eyes once more and forever on the
. world, so Maywood beheld the scctie in all its
wretchedness and misery, and it broke his
heart. He lingered tlrru.'iglra fewgloorny and
. disconsolate months, and his eyes were at last
closed in death, by the hand of her whose life
had been all the world to him for £0 years.
FROM THE CHRISTIAN SPECTATOR.
Messrs. Editors-—I have been not a little
gratified of late to find that now and then
a piece appears in your work written by a
plain man like myself. I like your candour
in permitting us to speak for ourselves, and
tell you our peculiar difficulties: for if you
cannot in fact relieve us from our troubles,
yet your sympathies are no small consolation
when no better remedy is to be had. Sol
tiiust ask your patience whilel tell my errand.
It is about thirty full years,1\1essrs. Editors,
since I commenced business in this place.—-
At that time I was far from being wealthy ;
but by great f'rugality.:uitl iudustry,Iam hap-
py to say, I have arrived at an easy compe-
tence-——have my carriage and other conven-
iences so agreeable and becoming to a gen-
tleman. But this is not what I wish to say.
When I first came here we had a minister
who had some peculiarities which you will
soon recognize as common among our ances-
tors. It is true, I used to hear him preach as
often as once, at least, on every Sabbath, tiri-
less when my books absolutely required post-
ing; but I attended meeting more from habit
than love. He had such a disagreeable man-
ner in the pulpit,that it seemed impossible for
any one to relish such preaching. He would
preach so directly at one, thatyou would think
he had been continually at your side the
whole week ; and lliave actually known him
so to guess my thoughts and plans, that more
than once I have almost disbelieved my wife
when she assured me that she had never told
him any thing about my character. He
would sometimes preach so tremendously,
that I have almost put up both hands to hold
my hair on my head. All this was dreadful-
ly galling to a man ofiny standing in society;
but by riding out for pleasure, or staying at
home in the foreiioon and eating a good hear-
ty dinner, I could bear this tolerably well.-
But I come now to that part of his contluct,
the very thoughtof which vexes me. He was
not content to preach on the Sabbath with a
boldness that would almost tear one’s heart
open, but be frequently came round making
what he called pastoral visits. I used some-
times to go to meeting in the morning and
ask him to take a seat in my carriage and
dine with me; but at such times however
much preparation I had made for :1 good din-
ner, Icould never get him near my house.
But though he rejected these invitations, you
must not suppose he never visited my family.
He would often come, indeed, and on such an
errand, tliatl frankly confessl have many a
time hastened out another way, in order to a-
void his company. These were his pastoral
visits, as he used to call them. [must do
him thejustice, however, to say, that on such
occasions he was not actually impolite, or se-
vere in his reproofs; but he had such an art-
ful insinuating manner of catechising and
conveying his thoughts and feelings respect-
ing death and eternity, that he would not on-
ly discover all your foibles and weaknesses,
but after doing this, would give you such a
pointed address, and put such gloomy images
into your mind that it would take a whole day
to get fairly composed. Nor would he stop
with me ; my wife, daughters, and even scr-
vants tiiust all go through the same mill, and
all be questioned and talked to about their
souls ; and for a long time after his visit, you
would have taken my family for Nuns or
Quakers. I cannot well describe this pecul-
iar faculty which he had, of sitting down by
your side, and in his easy manner, preaching
directly at your lieart—but though I cannot
describe it, I can well remember it--for even
now, I sometimes have cold chils while think-
ing of what he used to say to me. Once when
I was pleading my good works, on his urging
repentance, he inquired if Itliought “ good
works would save a friend of his who habitu-
ally went to the Post Office on the Sabbath l”,
I really was at a loss to conceive how he
should have known this was my practice.
You probably suppose by what I have said,
that this minister was very unpopular among
his people. I should have supposed this, had
I not been acquainted with him. But so far
from being unpopular, he was beloved by al-
most every individual in his parish, notwith-
standing he used to carry his pastoral visita-
tion irito every family. This seems to me
unaccountable ; especially as I recollect that
many who were opposed to his sentiments
were accustomed to esteem him very highly.
If all hated his pastoral preaching as I did,
the attachment of his people is singular.
There was great mourning at his death, but
he is gone, and I have not been troubled with
such visits since.
Soon af'ter"the death ofthis man,we settled
another minister, who is our pastor at the pre-
sent time. He is so directly the reverse of
his predecessor, that it is with the utmost dif-
ficulty that loan find words to express to you
my admiration of his character. He is just
the man that I like. The very first sabbath
after his settlenient, he took a seat in my car'-
riage, and partook of a sumptuous dinner at
my house, (I did not intend to tell you ofthis,
Messrs. Editors, but it comes in very apropos)
and ever since we have been on the best terms
‘er. Though almost‘ overcome with horror at_
, .
."t‘t' .- ".. "'2. v‘. ..,-. -
'poss'i:bl'e.- ileis always cheefrhil and‘ga‘y, and
frequently -'reminds us that ‘f religiondoes not
consist in t'lre"sl1ape.ofthe face.” In the pol‘-
pit he ‘preac‘h‘es toza nicely. ,- He deals alto‘-
g‘eth'er in gen‘erals,and gives no li‘0'me-th‘rusts.
I meet him ‘frequently a't‘diriner'and tea-‘par-,
ties, and sometimes at ‘balls; and am more
he has never troubled me with. any of those
pastoral visits, so harrassing to one’s peace.
But it is now, gentlemen that I come to the
pith of my communication; though you see
how fine a minister we have, yet our people
areso superstitious as to begin to make com-
parisons between him and his predecessor.
They are loudly calling for ministerial visits.
Our pastor, poor man, really knows not
which way to turn. He is willing to make
fashionable, and genteel visits, but knows not
how to ask those puritanical questions which
his people have been accustomed to hear. I
little thought when our former pastor was
asking such questions, as “ whether they had
repented oftheir sins, how tliéy were advan-
cing in holinesss,_” 82c. that he was making so
uiuch trouble for his successor. As I am no
unimportant man in our society, I endeavour
in every way to hush these rising coruplaints.
I am sure that our minister can talk on seri-
ous subjects; for when my wife was sick he
was sent for. She told him that she “ felt
herself to be a great sinner and feared she
was not acliristiaii,”_antl such like tallt,which
Isuppose she learned from her old pastor;
‘to these questions and doubts, our present
pastor replied, as Ithink most adniirably. He
told her that he believed she was a better
christian than St.'Paul ; " for” said he, “ Paul
quarrelled with abrother Apostle ; butl feel
assured that you have no such disposition!”
It is in vain that I tell our people that the
rigid Edwards, and Scott, did not visit their
people very often; for they ask if these men
did not devote their lives to their ‘studies, for
the good ofthe church, and if our pastor is
doing this. Herel atn a little stumbled, for
I never heard our minister accused of having
any such design. Now, Messrs. Editors, I
wish you would help me to some arguments,
by which I may coriviuce our people, that the
minister of the Gospel who seldom or never
converses with his people on the state ofre-
ligion in their hearts, is faithful to the duties
of his office. lam not much accustomed to
argument, but gentlemen, I think by the aid
ofyour counsel, and my great influence, this
discontent may be quelled ; and we be able
to keep our present minister, who makes the
road to heaven so easy and pleasant.
MR. PERKINS’ s'ri~:AMi~:ivGiNr:.
The following extractofa letter from a gen-
tleman of this towti, eminent for his scientifi-
cal attainments and mechanical skill, now in
England, to his friend in this town, gives a
more clear and satisfactory account than we
have yet seen published of Mr. Perkins’ im-
portant invention. The letter is dated April
26th, 18°28-—Boston Daily fldvcrtiser.
As many inquiries were made concerning
Mr. Perkins’ new steam engine, before I left
Boston, without any satisfactory iufortnation
being bad, Iwillv attempt to give you some
account of it. Before I begin, however, you
must free your mind from all notions of a
common engine, and call his what you please
afterwards. I do not mean that Mr. Perkins’
machine is not a steam engine, but that its
operation is so essentially different, in its prin-
ciple, froiii all other machines under that
name heretofore known, that you must pre-
pare for a great novelty, such an one as must,
in a short period, throw out of use all steam
engines,on whatever principles,hitherto made.
I saw itonMonday last,the day after myarrival
being the first time he publicly exhibited it.
In the couuriou machines, a great mass of
water is made to boil violently in a strong iron
or copper vessel, called the boiler, upon the
surface of which water, thus boiling, is raised
the steam, heated to a great degree, and
conveyed by pipes to the working cylinder,
and thrown by opening and closing cocks, al-
ternately upon the upper and lower sides of
the piston. In Mr. Perkins’ nothing ofthis
kind takes place, nor does the water even boil,
nor is any steam produced except the engine
is worked. He confines, in a very strong ves-
sel, zi small quantity of water, keeping the
vessel constantly full, which is heated to a
very considerable degree. This vessel, cor-
responding to the old fashioned boiler, he
calls the generator, and holds about seven
gallons in the machine I saw working. It is
of cast iron, or ratlierof bell metal, aboutS
inches thick, and is placed in another sheet
iron vessel or case, which encloses it, leaving
a space all around ofél inches. Within this
case the generator stands on a grating, so as
to admit of coal being placed under it and
round the sides, perhaps two or three inches
high. To work his engine all day, about a
bushel ofcoal is necessary, and on removing
the iroti cover from a hole in the top ofthe
enclosing vessel, .I perceived no tnore fire
than is often seen in a comtnon parlor grate.
The power of this engine is ten horses.
The cylinder in which the piston works is
horizontal ; the piston is two inches diameter,
having a stroke of l‘.’.inches only. Near this
cylinder stands the generator, which commu-
nicate with each other by means of a short
strong pipe so that the operating valve alter-
nately closing and sluittiug, this communica-
tion is brouglitas near as possible to the cyl-
inder. Vl’hen; this valve is opened in coni-
mon engines, the stcam passes from the boil-
er to the piston ; but in Mr. Perkins’s, noth-
ing but water, immensely compressed by heat,
is passed—and at the moment of passing, the
small quantity which issues bursts into steam
with great power. This explosion of water
(andl see no reason why it may not be so
teriried) immediately fills the space between
the piston and one end of the cylinder, and
drives the piston the whole length of the
stroke. On alternating, this steam is conden-
sed, and the same operation then takes place
from the opposite end. Ajsmall pump is mov-
ed, to throw the exceeding small quantity of
water, resulting front the condensation ofthe
steam, into the condenser; a strong iron ves-
sel standing near the generator, from which it
is forced by the same pump into the genera-
tor again. Such is the general description of
Mr. Perkin’s new engine. It has the power
often horses, and Mr. Perkins offered to bet
he would make it do the work of a fifteen
horse power. The whole machinery weighs,
probably, less than a ton’, and he says hisrna-
chines and whole apparatus for airy power,
say 50 horses,’ will weigh only about as much
as the water alone in common engines ofthe
some power. He is now building asteam

a small loss is sustained, which must be sup-
plied by the pump; for this purpose he hasa
bucket of water ready. From the compact
form, simplicity, lightness, and power of his
machines, Isee no reason why steam carria-
ges should not, especially on good roads, in
a very few years _supersede all other kinds of
land carriages, and a mail coach soon be run-
ning between this place and Liverpool, at the
rate of 20 to 9.5 miles an hour.
REPTlI.E CoN'rr:s'r.—-The following de-
scription ofa contest between the black snake
and another species, is extracted from the let-
ters ofan American farmer :-
“ One of my constant walks, when I am at
leisure,” says the gentleman, “is in my low
lands, where I may have the pleasure ofsee-
ing my cattle, horses, and colts.—Exuberant
grass replenishes all. In the middle of the
tract, I have cut a ditch eight feet wide: on
each side oftliis,carefully sow every yearsome
grains of hemp, the plants from which rise to
the height of fifteen feet, so strong and full of
limbs as to resemble young trees. These
produce natural arbours, rendered often still
more compact by the assistance of an annual
creeping plant, which we call a vine, that nev-
er fails to entwine itselfainong the branches,
and always produces a very desirable shade.
As I was one day sitting, solitary and pensive,
in this primitive arbour, my attention was en-
gaged by a strange sort of rustling noise at
some paces distant.
“I looked all around without distinguish-
ing any thing, until I climbed up one ofthe
great hemp stalks; when, to my astonishment,
I beheld two snakes of considerable length,
the one pursuing the other with great celerity
through a hemp stubblefield. The aggressor
was of the black kind,6 feet loug,the fugitive
was a water snake, nearly of equal dimens-
ions. They soon met, and in the fury oftheir
first encounter, appeared in an instant firmly
twisted together; and, whilst their united
tails beat the ground, they mutually tried,with
open jaws to lacerate each other. VVliat a
fell aspect did they present! Their heads
were compressed to a very small size-—their
eyes flashed fire : and after this conflict had
lasted five minutes, the second found means
to disengage itself from the first, and hurried
towards the ditch. Its antagonist instantly
assumed a new posture, and half creeping,
halferect, with a majestic mei.n, overtook anti
attacked the other again, which placed itself
in a similar attitude, and prepared to resist.—
The scene was uncommon and beautiful ; for
thus opposed, they fought with their jaws, bi-
ting each other with the utmost rage: but
notwithstanding this appearance of mutual
courage and fury, the watersnake still seemed
desirous of retreating towards the ditch, its
natural eletnent.
“ This was no sooner perceived by the keen
eyed black one, than twisting its tail twice
round a stalk of hemp, and siezing its adver-
sary by the throat, not by means of its jaws,
but by twisting its own neck twice round that
ofthe watersnake, he pulled it back from the
ditch. To prevent a defeat, the latter took
hold likewise ofa stalk on the bank, and by
the acquisition of this point of resistance, be-
came a match for his fierce antagonist. Strange
was this to behold : two great snakes strongly
adhering to the ground, mutually fastened to-
gether by means of the writhings which lash-
ed them to each other; and stretched at their
full length, they pulled, but pulled in vain;
and in the moments of greatest exertion, that
part oftheir bodies which was entwined,seeni-
ed extremely small, while the rest appeared
inflated, and now and then convulsed with
strong undulations, rapidly following each
other. Their eyes appeared on fire, and rea-
dy to start out oftheir heads.
“ At one time the conflict seemed decided;
the water snake bent itself into great folds,
and by that operation rendered the other uiore
than commonly outstretched; the next minute‘
the new struggles ofthe black one gained an
unexpected superiority, it acquired two great
folds likewise, which necessarily extended
the body of its adversary, in propnrtioii as it
had contracted its own. These efforts were
alternate ; victory seemed doubtful, inclining
sometimes to one side, sometimes to the oth-
er ; until at last the stalk to which the black
snake was fastened suddenly gave way, and
in consequence of this accident, they both
plunged into the ditch. The water did not
extinguish their vindictive rage, for, by their
agitations, I could still trace, though I could
not distinguish their attacks.. They soon re-
appeared on the surface, twisted together, as
in their first onset; but the black snake seem-
ed to retain its wonted superiority ; for its
head was exactly fixed above that ofthe other
which it incessantly pressed down under the
water, uiitilit was stiflcd and sunk.—The vic-
tor no sooner perceived its enemy incapable
of further resistance, than abandoning it to
the current, it returned to the shore and dis-
appeared.”— Georgia paper.

For sale at the Gazette O_flz'ce—-Price 83 Cts.
A long andapproved use of this Powder has
abundantly proved its excellence. It is valua-
ble for hardening the gums, for destroying the
septic acid which is fatal to the teeth, and for
givingthem a beautiful pearly whiteness, and
preventing an offensive breath. It contains
nothing that can injure the teeth. No person
that values a good set ofteeth for use or orna-
ment, and knows how hateful a foulbreath is,
should fitil to use this Dentifrice. It will be
found to be no imposition on the public, but
only and altogether what it proniises—a pre-
ventive ofthe tooth ache, and a preservative
of the teeth. .
TI.-e above is also for sale by Stephen Sf.Jnh-n.
