From the New England Magazine for Sept.
A LEAF FROM AN OLD ALMANAC.
The father of the late Fisher Ames, it is ge
nerally known, published an Almanac for a long
series of years which in its day was highly ap
preciated and extensively circulated. A muti
lated file of this annual wa9 lately found among
a bundle of rags, and rescued from the devouring
maw of the paper mill. It affords, if not a feast,
a comfortable luncheon or tit-bit to an antiqua
rian appetite. The contents of one leaf are wor
thy of preservation. It lias already escaped the
•* conflagration” dreaded by its publisher, for al
most three quarters of a century; and should it
be republished, verbatim et literatim, some fu
ture antiquarian mav be pleased to find it, as
long hence, and pass it on to still future genera
tions. According to all present appearances,
the dream of the Almanac maker seems likely, in
every respect, “ to come to pass.”
“ AMERICA is a subject which daily becomes
more and more interesting:—I shall therefore fill
these Pages with a Word upon its Past, Present
and Future State:
I. Fust of it9 Past State: Time has cast a
Shade upon this Scene. Since the Creation, in
numerable Accidents have happened here, the
bare mention of which would create Wonder and
Surprize; but they are all lost in Oblivion: The
ignorant Natives, for Want of Letters, have for
got their Stock; and know not from whence they
came, or how, or when they arrived here, or what
has happened since:—Who can tell what won
derful Changes have happened by the mighty Op
erations of Nature, such as Deluges, Volcanoes,
Earthquakes, &.c.!—Or whether great Tracts of
Land were nut aosurDeu into most vast naxesor
inland Seas which occupy so much Space to the
West of us. But to leave the Natural, and come
to the Political State: We know how the French
have erected a Line of Forts from the Ohio to
Nova-Scotia, including all the inestimable Coun
try to the West of us.into their exhorbitanlClaim.
This, with infinite Ju-tice, the English resented;
anil in this Cause our Blood has been spilled:— 1
Which brings to our Consideration.
II. Secondly, The present State of North ]
America- A » riter upon this present Time
says, “The Parts of North America which may ]
be chimed by Great Britain or Fiance are of as
much Worth as either Kingdom. That fertile
Country to the West of the Appalachian Moun
tains (a String of 8 or 900 Miles in Length) be
tween Canada and the Mississippi, is of larger
Extent than all France, Germany, and Poland;
and all well provided with Rivers, a very tine
wholesome Air, a rich Soil, capable of producing
Food and Physick, and all things necessary for
the Convcniencv and Delight of Life: In fine,
the Garden of the World!”—Time was we might
have been possessed of it: At this Time two
mighty Kings contend for this inestimable Prize:
Their respective claims are to be measured by
the Length of their Swords.—The Poet says,—
The Gods and Opportunity ride Post; that you
must take her by the Forelock being bald Behind.
Have we not* too fondly depended uj^on our
Numbers?—Sir Francis Bacon says. • The Wolf
careth not h«nv many the Sheep be:* But Num
bers well-spirited* with the Blessing or rii-arcO,
will do Wonders, when by military Skill and
Discipline, the Commanders can actuate (as by
one Soul) the most numerous Bodies of armed
People: Our Numbers will not avail till the Co
lonies are united* for whilst divided, the Strength
of the Inhabitants is broken like the p**tty King
doms in Africa.-—If we do not join Heart and
Hand in the common Cause against our exulting
Plies, but (all to imputing amuugsi uuisrivca, n
may really happen as the Governour of Pennsyl
vania told his Assembly, ‘ We shall have no
Privilege to dispute about, uor Country to dis
pute in.’
111. Thirdly, of the Future State of North
America. Here we find a vast Stock of proper
Materials for theArt and Integrity of Man to work
upon:—Treasures of immense Worth; conceal'd
from the poor ignorant aboriginal Natives! The
Curious have observed that the Progress of Hu
man Literature (like the Sun) is from East to
West; thus lus it travelled thro’ Asia andEoropej
anil now is arrived at the Eastern Shore of Amer
ica. As the Coelestial Light of the Gospel was
directed here by the finger of GOD, it will doubt
less, finally drive the long! long! Night of Heath
enish Darkness from America.—So Arts and
Sciences will change the Face of Nature, in their
Tour from Hence over the Appalachian Moun
tains to the Western Ocean; and as they march
thro’ the vast Desert, the Residence of wild
B-asts will be broken up. and their obscence
Howl cease forever;—Instead of which, the
Stones and Tr«*es will dance together at the mu
sic of Orpheus,—the Rocks will disclose their
hidden Gems.—and the inestimable Treasures
of Gold and Silver be broken up. Huge moun
tains of Iron Ore are alrcnly discovered; and vast
Stores are reserved for future Generations: I his
Metal, more useful than Gold and Silver, will
employ Millions of Hands, not only to form the
martial Sword, and peaceful Share, alternately;
but an Infinity of Utensils improved in the Exer
cise of Artaud Handicraft amongst Men. Na
ture thro’ all her Works has stamped Authority
on this Law, namely, “ That all fit Matter shall
be improved to its best Purposes.” Shall not
then those vast Quarries, that teem with mechan
ic Stone,—those for structure be piled into great
Cities,—and those for Sculpture into Statues to
perpetuate the Honor of renowned Heroes; evei
those who shall now save their Country. 0! Yi
unborn Inhabitants of America! Should this Pag<
escape its destin’d Conflagration at the Year’i
End, and these Alphabetical Letters remain !e
gible.—when your Eyes behold the Sun after hi
has rolled the Seasons round for two or threi
Centuries more, you will know that in Anm
Domini 1758, we dream’d of your Times.
“ Nath. Ames.”
Anecdotes and Remarks on Music.— The fol
lowing are curious facts, relative to the powers ol
the human ear. The atmosphere is the gram]
medium by which sound is conveyed, though re
cent discoveries prove that other bodies couduc!
it with greater expedition, as in the instance ol
vibrating a tuning fork, to the stem of which it
attached a packthread string; on the other end
bein* wrapt round the finger, and placed in the
chamber of the ear, the sound will be audibly
conveyed to the distance of two hundred yards,
though not perceptible to any bystander. Min
ers, in boring for coal, ca?i tell by the sounds
what substance they are penetrating; and a re
cent discovery is that of applying a listening-tube
to the breast to detect the motions of the heart.
The quickness which some persons, possess in
distinguishing the smaller sounds, is very remar
kable. A friend of the writer has declared he
could readily perceive the motion of a flea, when
on his night-cap, by the sound omitted by the.
machinery of his leaping powers. However, ex
traordinary inis may appear, we find a similar
statement is uiven in the ingenious works upon
insects, by Kirby and Spence, who say, ‘ We
know of no other insert, the tread of which is
accompanied bv sound, except indeed the flea,
WIIOSC filtrp It latlT tnsuiru ur» onv hiwujc* mvoic
when it passes over her night-cap, anil that it
clacks as if it was walking in patterns!* If we
can suppose the ear to be alive to such delicate
vibrations, certainly there is nothing in the way
of sound s« difficult for it to achieve.
Of the great superiority of Cremona violins,
Mr. Gardner in his late work on the Music of
Nature, observes,—
To those who are conversant with the power
of musical instruments, the following observa
tions will be fully understood. The violins
made at Cremona about the year 1660 are supe
rior in tone to any of a later date—age seeming
to disposse^frthem of their noisy qualities, and
leaving nothing but their pure tone. If a mo
dern violin is played bv the side of one of these
instruments, it will appear much the louder of
the two, but on receding 100 paces, when com
pared with the Jimiti, it will be scarcely heard.
The following oil vocal performers, is worthy
of attention:
The cultivation of the female voice has confer
red upon the musical art a charm never contem
plated bv our early composers; and of late it has
been carried to such perfection as nearly to sur
pass every instrument in its powers of execution
and expression. Two hundred years ago, a solo
for either instrument or voice was unknown; but
sach is the love of exhibition at the present day,
that it is found expedient to impose a fine of five
guineas upon anv one performing a solo, either
in the Antient or Philharmonic Concerts. But,
as Dr. Burner observes, instead of the sum be
ing forfeited,' five hundred had been offered to
the individual who could perform such a fete at
that time, fewer candidates would have entered
the lists, than il the like sum had been offered
for flying from Salisbury steeple over Old Sarum
without a balloon For the last one hundred
and thirty years we have scarcely produced more
than half a dozen singers of fiis'.-rate eminence,
while Italy has been pouring into this country a
crowd of vocalists.
Grassina was Ihe first female Singer who ap
peared on.the Italian theatre with a contralvo voice
that part having been previously sustained by
men. Her tones, though purely feminine, were
so new that they were received with distrust; and
some time elapsed before the audience were re
conciled to a voice which was thought greatly
too low for a woman. Her compass did not ex
ceed ten notes, from a in the bass to c in the
treble; but such was their rich and mellow quali
ty, that they formed a new species of delight in
the vocal art. Her pathos and feeling became
the more eviden^vhen contrasted with the cold
and fluty tones of Billington. She was beautilul
and graceful: and her acting was superior to all
those who had preceded her. F rom the intro
duction of Grassina, we rnay date one of the
greatest improvements in opera, that of the duetto
for female voices, in which Rossini has shown
such exquisite and incomparable taste.
When Capt. Montague was cruising off Brigh
[ ton, Madame Catalina was invited, with other
ladies, to a brilliant fete on board his frigate.—
j The Capt. went in his launch on shore, manned
bv more than twenty men, to escort the fair
j freight on board and as the boat was cutting
through the waves, Madame Catalina without
' any previous notice, commenced the air of ‘Rule
; Bmtannia ’ Had a voice from the great deep
! spoken, the effect could not havei been more in
stantaneous and sublime.’ The sailors, not
| knowing whom they were rowing, were soaston
| ished and even enchanted into inactivity, that
with one accord they rested upon their oars,
wile tears trembled in the eyes of many of them.
•You see, Madame,’ said the Captaiu, ‘the effect
j this favourite air has upon these brave men,
! when sungbv the finest voice in the world. . I
I have been in many victorious battles, bat never
i felt any excitement equal to this.* On arrivinj
> on board, the sailors, with his consent, entreatei
; her to repeat the strains; she complied with th
i request with increassd effect, and with so mucl
good natuie, that when she quitted the ship, the;
i cheered her until she reached the shore.
» The following anecdote ofRraham’s parrot, ii
i curious:—
Parrots, like cuckoos, form their notes dee|
in the throat, and show great aptitude in imitat
ing the human voice. A most remakable in
stance I met with at Braham’s villa in Brompton
A lady, who had admiration for his talents, pre
sented him with a parrot, on which she bad be
stowed great pains in teaching it to talk. Aftei
dinner, during a pause in the conversation, I wai
startled bv a voice from one corner of the roonr
calling out in a strong hearty manner, ‘Come,
Braham, give us a song!’* Nothing could exceet
the surprise ami admiration of the company.—
The request being repeated, and not answered,
the parrot struck up the first verse of ‘ God save thi
KingS in a clear, warbling lone, aiming at the
style of the singer, and sang it thiough. Tkt
ease with which this bird was taught, was equal
Iv surprising with the performance. The sam<
lady prepared him to accost Catalan*!, when di
ning with Mr. Graham, which so alarmed Mad
ame, that site nearly fell from her chair. Upor
his commencing * Jiule BrtianniaS in a loud anti
intrepid tone, the chantress fell on her kneel
before the bird, exclaiming, in terms of delight,
her admiration of its talents.
This parrot has only been exceeded by Lord
Kelley’s, who upon being asked to sing, replied
“I never sing on a Sunday.” “Never mind
that, Poll, come give us a 6ong.” “No excuse
me, I’ve cot a cold—don’t you hear how hoarse
I I am?” This extraordinary creature performed
| the three verses entire of *God save the King,’
■ words and music without hesitation, from the be
giiinig to the end.
A LAWYER PUZZLED.
| The London papers have been lately chiefly
I filled with reports of the evidence taken in a Lu«
j nancy case; a Cotnmision having been issued to
examine the intellectual condition of Miss Bag*
! ster a young heiress who, some months ag<*,
i e!op< d with a Mr. Raymond Newton, and was
: married at Gretna Green. After the examination
! of numerous witnesses, whose statements crowd
many page9 of the largest Journals, the lady
was found to be of unsound mind, and incapa
i ble of managing her affairs; twenty jurors, out
I twenty-two, concurring in the verdict. An op
position was held by the celebrated Dr. Ilaslam,
whose cross-examination, by one of the leading
members of the English Bar, we think worth ex
tracting:—
Cross examined by Mr. Polloik—Is she n!
sound mind?—I never saw any person of sound
mind—(A laugh.)
That is not the answer, Sir. I presume the
Deity alone is of sound mind.
Mow many years have you been a mad doctor?
Forty years.
Again I ask you, is she sound of mind?—Com
petently sound.
Is she capable of managing her own affairs? —
I am unacquainted with what affairs she has to
manage.
Is she competent to manage a family ?—When
she is properly instructed, l believe she is
Is she. now’ competent to manasie any of the or
dinary concerns of life?—I saw her knitting and
! making pin cushins, and she gave competent an
j swers, but she has not had money, and therefore,
IS not III 10 eXCCUie me IIUSIS ui o miaucu ui a
familv.
Then, do I understand that, but for this defect
in her education, 9he is competent to the ordina
ry concerns of life?— Yes.
’ Do you think she could be made tit to perform
the* business of life?—I do.
How soon do you think she would be tit?—She
should first know the quantity required j she is
deficient in arithmetic.
What otherdeficienees did you observe?—I
did not observe any other deflciences, and my
evidence rested on my own knowledge.
How often before, have you given evidence be
fore Commissioners of lunancy?—I do not exact
ly know.
Have you any notion?—Notion is a sort of
knowledge and*l do not know.
But have you no idea?—Idea is a visible per
ception, and I am not positive.
Have you attended two hundred?—No.
One hundred?—No.
Fiftv?—I cannot say.
Would you swear you have not attended five?
—No. ' r .
Would vou swear you had not attended fiftyr
_When a man does not know the precise num
ber, how can he tell it?—(A laugh.)
But you might say about so or so.
Witness: 1 might be wrong, and I’ll not take
the alternative: the Jury have frequently decid
ed according to my evidence, and sometimes
against it, but 1 was always satisfied with the
verdict given.
Have the Jury oftener decided with or against
you? Thought with him. but he never took the
least trouble to inquire after giving his evidence,
He did not tell Miss Bagster that she might be
sent to a mad-house. He never mentioned the
word mad house to her. He used the word
“ confinement,” but he certainly never mention
ed the word mad house. He did not repeat the
arithmetical questions tp her beyond two and twe
r are four, because she told him that she knew no
i thing about it, and he did not go there to puzzle
? her, though he might, and many others besides,
i —(A laugh.) He knew a lady of 22, who did
i not know that two and two were four, and this
was produced by long and protracted disease.—
i He saw her in London, and he should say that
he had met with at least live other instances.—
* From what Miss Bagster had learned under the
■ advantages of her education, he was of opinion
. that she could learn more. The disadvantages
were, her illness in her youth, her grandfather’s
■ not allowing her to be made to learn, and her be
. ing deprived of the use of money—the great
■ source of arithmetic.
i Mr. Pollock: Did you ask her, when she told
i you she could go through the multiplication table
pretty well once, how long ago that was?
Witness: No; I did not go there to cross ex
amine her.—(A laugh.) I went to examine her
in chief.
! I wish, Sir, you would give direct answers to
my questions; you may ramble where you like
■ afterwards. No, Sir, I have no desire* to ram
ble, I am fixed here for the present, l thank you.
Did you lake any means of knowing if she was
unacquainted with the value of money?—No: 1
thought it quite unnecessary.
