the passengers are conveyed through in the

_SELECTIONS.
ENIGMA.
[From the Raleigh Star.]
The following Enigma, supposed to be
written by Ur. B. B. Hunter, of Tarborough,
was handed to us, by a gentleman of this
place, for publication.
It was known to the Almighty before
the creation of the earth, and continues
a portion of all his judgments and his
mercies. It was with Abraham, when
about to offer up his son Isaac, and com
posed a part of the burnt offering, which
was received as a substitute. It was
possessed by Solomon though unknowp
to his father David, and w>as used in the
temple at Jerusalem, though it entered
not into the composition of gold or sil
ver, or iron, or brass; neither was it
found in the quarries of Zaradotha, or
the forest of Lebanon. It was on the
mount with Moses though it was not
engraved upon the sacred tables, and
yet it formed a part of every com
mandment. It was not at the tribunal
of Pilate, nor even among the Jews,
who thirsted for the blood of Jesus,
and yet it travelled with Simon of Cy
renc, who bore his cross, and was with
the Redeemer, in the agony of death.
It was with the malefactor, who pray
ed to be remembered, and yet it enter
ed not into Paradise. It was seen with
the women who sold Doris, and yet
w as not recognized by the officiating
priests. It formed a part of the Sa
viour’s vestments, and yet, when they
cast lots, it was not divided. It dwelt
m ivome, out was unknown to the Uje
savs, anti was at Patmos, though not
mentioned by St. John the Evangelist.
It was at lJethleham in the manger,
but was nut with Joseph in his flight
to Egypt. It was with Columbus, when
be discovered America, unknown to
Ferdinand or Isabella. It was also at
Mecklenburg in N. C.and formed a
part of the committee, which first de
clared themselves free and indepen
dent ; and yet it never was suspected
by Oeorge III. nor even understood by
general Washington. It was with the
unfortunate British Major, who was ex
ecuted as. a spy, though unperceived
bj the traitor Arnold. It was in the
American army, but w as not at the bat
tle of Lexington, nor at the seige of
Little \ ork, when Cornwallis surren
dered, but it has lately visited the U.
States, on board of the Cadmus, amidst
the acclamations of millions of freemen,
and will accompany the Marquis La
fayette, at the commemoration of that
great and glorious event, on the 19th
ol October next. It was in company
with Ambrister, without the know
ledge of Arburthnot, and w*as among
the Seminoles, undiscovered by Jack
son. It formed a part cf the late me
morial to congress, unknown to Ni*
«ian Edwards, and undiscovered by
the secretary of the treasury, but with
out it, there could have been no minis
ter to Mexico. It w’hs at the battle of
Baltimore, but not at the capture of the
federal city, but it came up the Poto
mac, unknown to Cockbutn the incen
diary. It was at Thermopolae without
the knowledge of Leonidas or Xerxes,
and was with I hemistocles at Salamis
and Marathon. It belongs to every
Mason, though it never entered a lodge,
but cannot be iound in any Christian
church, except during the administra
tion of the sacrament, but it was with
the encampment of Knight Templars
at New \ork with our great National
Cuost, unknown to his son or secrcta
ry.
It fell with Packcnham before the
hero of New Orleans, and was sent
home with his remains, in a hogshead
of rum. It w as with Mac Donough
and Maconibe on Lake Champlain, but
was not with the gallant Perry, at the
victory of Erie.
It forms a part of the pleasures of
the imagination and memory, but en- j
ters not into the delusions of hope. It
partakes of every emotion of the human
mind, but enters not into the passions,
or affections of the heart. It consti
stutes a part of the Roman costume,
though unknown to Canova, and can
not be found in the statue of Washing
ton, though the last, and greatest pro
duction of that celebrated artist.—
Without it there could be no melody in
music or harmony in numbers, and
yet it forms no part of any political
stanza. It is known to every chemist,
though it has never been discovered by
analysis to be found in earth, air, fire,
or water.
It soared with Mongolphier, the in
ventor of air baloons, but descended
not with Spalding, the constructor of
diving bells. It murmurs in every
stream, though it never flowed to the
ocean, and howls in storms and tem
pests, though it never was seen in a
flash of lightning, nor heard in a peal
of thunder: neither does it belong to
rain, hail, wind or snow. It is found
in the polar light of the moon, but
constitutes no part of the radiance of
the sun. It is in every mathematical
problem, but was unknown to Pytha
goras or Euclid. It was at all the an
cient tournaments, though not men
tioned in chivalry or heraldry. I once
saw it in the smiles of a bridegroom,
but never in the blushes of a bride. It
is apart of all sorts of machinery, and
yet it enters not into the principle of
the lever, the wedge, the pulley or the
screw. It is in every similie and me
taphor, and yet belongs to no figure in
Rhetoric. It was with Sternes’ Ma
ria when she entered Moulines,and was
with Corporal Trim, without the
knowledge of my uncle Toby. Where
and what is it ? It was with me in the
dream of my early life, and I some
times see it in the gloom of midnight,
when my mind is inclined to melan
choly meditation; but it is not to be
found among friends or relations in joy
or in sorrow. Like all other perisha
ble objects, it will be consigned to the
tomb, but it will be heard in the sound
of the last trump, and make its appea
rance in the day of judgment, and yet
will not been seen afterwards in eternity.
September 30th, 1824.
[From Crabb’s Synonvmes.]
TO CENSURE, ANIMADVERT, CRITI
CISE.
To censurty expresses less that! to
animadvert or criticise; one may always
censure when one animadverts or critici
ses.
To censure and animadvert are both
personal, the one direct, the other in
direct ; criticism is directed to things,
and not to persons only.
Censuring consists in finding some
fault real or supposed; it refers mostly
to the conduct of individuals. Ani
madvert consists in suggesting some
error or impropriety: it refers mostly
to matters of opinion and dispute ; cri
ticism consists in minutely examining
the intrinsic characteristics and appre
ciating the merits of each individually
or the whole collectively; it refers to
matters of science and learning.
To censure requires no more than sim
ple assertion ; its justice or propriety
often rests on the authority ofthe indi
vidual : animadversions require to be ac
companied with reasons; those who an
imadvert on the proceedings or opinions
of others must state some grounds for
their objections.
Criticism is altogether argumentative
and illustrative; it takes nothing for
granted, it analyses and decomposes, it
compares and combines, it asserts and
supports the assertions. The office of
the censurer is the easiest and least ho
norable of the three ; it may be assum
ed by ignorance and impertinence, it
\ may be performed for the purpose of
indulging an angry or imperious tem
per. The task of animadverting is de
licate ; it may be resorted to for the in
dulgence of an overweaning self-con
ceit. 1 he office of a critic is both ar
duous and honorable; it cannot be filled
by anyone incompetent for the charge
without exposing his arrogance and
folly to merited contempt.
Many an author has been dejected at .the
censure of one who he has looked upon as an
idiot. Addison.
I wish, sir, you would do us the favor to
animadvert frequently upon the false taste the
town is in, with relation to the playaas well as
operas. [Steele.
It is ridiculous for any man to criticise on the
works of another, who has not distinguished
iinself by his own performances. [Addison.
MENTAL, INTELLECTUAL.
There is the same difference between
Mental and Intellectual as between
mind and intellect: the mind compre
hends the thinking faculty in general
with all its operations; the intellect in
cludes only that part of it which con
sists in understanding and judgment:
mental is therefore opposed to corpo
real ; intellectual is opposed to sensual
or physical: mental exertions are not to
be expected from all; intellectual enjoy
ments fall to the lot of comparatively
few.
Objects, pleasures,pains, operations,
£ifts, 8cc. are denominated mental; sub
jects, conversation, pursuits, and the
like, are entitled intellectual. It is not
always easy to distinguish our mental
pleasures from those corporeal plea
sures which we enjoy in common jwith
the brutes; the fatter, are however
greatly heightened by the former in
whatever degree they are blehded: in a
society of well informed persona the
conversation will turn principally on
intellectual subjects.
To collect and reposit the various forma of
thingi is far the most plearing pwt of mental
occupation. JWnaon.
Man’s more divine, the master of all these,
