'l‘HE ‘IVESTERN EMIGRANT.
Amid those forest shrides that proudly i'_ear’d _
Their unshorn beauty toward the favouring skies,
An axe rang sharply; There, with vigorous arm
hile by his side
His little son with question and response
Beguiled the toil. -
“ Boy, thou hast never seen
-Suchglorious trees, and when their giant trunks
Fall,liow the firm earth groans. Rememherest thou
The mighty river on whose breast we ssil’d
So many tlaysoii towards the setting sun?
Compared to that, our own Connecticut
Is but a cree'pi:ig stream.”
" Father, the brook,
That-by our door went singing. when I lannch’d
My tiny boat with all the sportivo boys,
\Vhen school was o’er, is dearer far to me
Than all these deep broad waters. To my eye
They are as strangers. And those little trees
lanted in the garden bound
Of our first home, from whence the fragrant peach
Fell in its ripening gold, were liiirer sure
Then this dark forest shutting out the day.”
“ VVha”t, ho! my little girl,”-—and with light step
A fairy . creature liasteil toward her sire,
And setting down the basket that conta_in'd
The noon’s repiist, look‘d upward to his face
‘With sweet, confiding smile.

“EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD."
There is a period in the life of every
young man over which to pass safely rc-
qoiresilio most skilful navigation. To
double this point is more dangerous to the
moral character iliaii for zi navigator to
double Cape Hoin. The whirlpool of
pride, and the quicksands of self-conceit
yawn upon them, and are to a young man
what Scylla and Charybdis were to the an-
cjenlfi, This period is from sixteen to
twenty-one years of a_ge——a'iid during this
time a young man is subject to what is com-
monly called “eighteen years old fever,”
though owing to the precu-city of some
they are attacked as early as sixteen.-
' The effects of this disease are alzogethei
different ft om those morbid complaints to
which the human system is suhject——iii-
stead of wasting away, it produces a gen-
eral inflation of the intellect, it I may so
express it, which renders the sulijeci mine
-like a bladder flllP(.l with wind, than a ra-
tional being.
Ayoung man under the influence of
thisdisease is a peifcctwiseacre, he is too
knowing to learn from the experience of
age"; lie knows bestwliai is his own inter-
,cst;"lii3 parents and all who have gone
before him, are, in his opinion, tools; he
imagines himself to be the fiist of u very
wise generation, and therefore coiistrues
Veveiy friendly admonition into an attempt
to coerce him or to ahiidgo his privileges,
I-its discovers the down of puberty upon
his chin, and believes that the application
ofa razor to his phiz \\ ould put the tiuisli-
ing touch; for ifhe has a beard and shaves,
' he must of course be a man ; and above
all, the ladies dislike a beardless man.
He tlicrefore obtains a razor and soap,

and steals away unobserved, to the garrel
or hay loft, and there undergoes this pleas-
ing and important operation; he comes
back with his “chin mowed,” a perfect
paragon. Next commence the operations
of the toilette-—he examines his sliorn
phiz ;—-coiigratulares himself upon the im-.
provemeut ofliis looks, perfumes his hair
with sweet scented poniatum, or in the ab-
sence ofthis applies tallow and cologne ;
his ears are propped up with a collar so
stiff, that if he moves his head to the right
or left, he does at their peril; his cravat
is adjusted (1 la made, his liiindkerehicl
tastefully dangling in his rear; his gloves
in his hands ;—-thus equipped the bachel-
.or of sixteen makes hisgrand eutrc among
the ladies.
AN:«:cDoTs on it Piti.\"rER.——At a sup-
per whiclt closed ilie animal meeting ofihe
Columbia Typographical Society, held at
Washington on Saturday week, Mr. Vor-
plauck, one of the guests, related the fol-
lowing anecdote. l was engaged some
years ago in n inisccllaiieous literary woi k
in conjunction with two or three friends,
whose writings are amongst the most valu-
ed productions of native literature. The
volumes were most acciii-air-ly, as well as
very beautifully printed. Before the sheets
had reached the binder, and long before
they had fallen under the eyes of any reg-
ular erlltoriil critic, I was surprised with
it review of the work in one of bur best
and most widely circulated literary jour-
nals. It was written with great talent, as
well as elegance and spiiglitlinoss of style
and ii: the most fi'iendly spirit. On in-
quiring the name ofour good natured and
able critic, the auiliors were surprised to
learn that he. was the compositor who had
set up all the niaiiuscript, and who knew it
only in that way. Ourfriend has since
laid down the stick for the pen, and is
now, as I trust, winning his way to fame
and fortune, in another country.
ANoTHEi'..--Ifeinzcr, a printer in Phila-
dclpliiii,nnd Frnnkliii’s rniployor, had con-
tracted to furuisli the blanks for an cruis-
sion of paper money by the goverumentof
New-Jersey. “Feuiitig that our Phila-
delphia printers,” says the author, " might
strike off more niuriisy hills than they had
been desired, the New-Jersey legislature
thought proper to S('l)tl two or three Coin-
uiissioiiers to siipcriiitend the press. These
gcntlcmeii, all of the shrewd sort, sud con-
staiitly with them while at work, soon
found out the dilfcirnce between the mus-
ter aiid the youiigjournoyiiiaii. Ktiiiisr,
though a printer, had iievei been a rcadei;
Franklin had devoted all his leisuic hours
to reading. The one had ever courted
pleasure. in the fuiiiitiire ol his mind; the
other, populaiity iu the decorations of his
body. The shape of his wliiskers, iliie
cock of his hat, the cut of his coat, were
great things with KL'll‘llel'; every trick at
easy outside show was caught up by him.
But it would not do. \Vliile Ben, strip-
ped to the buff, was lienviiig at the press,
Kcimcr wruld stand by stately as ti prince
at his levee-—wit|i his gilt snuff box nicely
poised in his left, hand, and his right he-
spaingled with rings, tasiily carrying the
fragment hlacaba to his iiosirils, courting
the commissioners. Yet as before said, it
would not do.-—'l'lie coiniiiissioners wani-
ed new ideas, and Keirncr had none to
give them. Presently they turned to Ben,
whom, by the by, they hardly‘ thought it
worili while to interrogate, coiisiilering the
cliaractcr ofhis master, and his young and
raw appeiiraiice. But in i lace of the old
yes and no of master Keiiuer, he gave
them such aii.-‘wers as at once surprised
and delighted them. He was slow to
speak, but when the cominissioiiors citri-
ous to explore his intcllecr, which had so
unexpectedly startled iheiii, purposely put
2! number oldeep questions to him on the
subject ofilicir paper money, such as it
effects upon tzgilctilture and cominerce,
and the laws that should regulate its quan-
tity, he answered all in his own peculiar-
way ofsagacious brevity, that made them
declare he must have studied nothing else
all his life. The reports which these gen-
tlemen made in his favor, produced their
natural effect. Ben was invited every
where, and treated with the most flatter-
ing attention ;—-ivhile Kiemer, though his
8I1)j'l0_)'(.‘I, was entirely neglected, or invi-
ted only as a compliment to Ben.’
/Encas l~Voodbriclge.—Tliis nian,wliose
death was rvceiilly announced, was the
most odd and eccentric person that lived
in this part oftlie country. He was born
in South I-Iacllc-.y, in 1752. Through a
long life, he refused to call persons and
things by their proper names, would say
neither yes nor no, and seldom made it
t)03l ive ‘dII'll‘m'dll0ll or negation. He de-
signated persons in this manner, ‘the long
logged man,’ ‘the yellow house man,’ &c.
The minister was the ‘gospel man,’ the
physician, the ‘physic man,’ &c. A horse
was a ‘jade,’ a cow a ‘stripper,’ &c, [135
conimoii way of answering questions in
the allirnintivo was : ‘it is pretty likely,’
or‘I tliiukit is pretty likely.’ In the neg-
ative, ‘ii is pretty likely that I did not see
it,’ .&c. Ills answers were fi=equentl_y
more tndirect and uncertaiirtliaii these.—-
He was once sent to d neighbor’s house to
get some rye flour and yeast. He did his
errand in this nizinner: ‘it is likely the
woman wants some common fare and some
truck to hoist it with.’ This was an in.
dustrious, harmless man, was not destitute
of shrewdiiess, and possessed coiisiderabld
information on some subjects.

HISTORY or THE NORTHMEN.
This is the first attempt by any compe-
tent writerto furnish the world with a chain
ofaiitheutic liisiorical events in the North
of Europe, from the earliest discoveries to
the present time. Mr. Wheaion,'oui fol-
low countryman, and the representative of
the American government at Copenhagen,
has availed hiiriselfofliis intimate acquain-
tance with the men of letters as well as
the statemen ofDenmai'k, to gain access
to origiiiul sources of information, and to
bring out stores of authentic and valuable
knowledge, hiilierto, chiefly, if not alto-
gether, sealed. He has ransacked the
multiplied collections of the associations
of Norway, Sweden and Iceland, and has
'cliscovered monuments to remote liistori-
cal periods, superior to those possessed by
the other nations of modem, or perhaps of
ancient Europe. The results of his re-
search and study have been presented to
his cis-Atlantic friends, by Carey and
Lea, Pliiladelpliia, in a large and liand-
some octavo; and \.e are happy to find
his labors approved by the most eiiiiiient
writers, and the best rcvit-ws in this coun-
try.
