CITY, OHIO, SATURDAY,
THE GAG
Ho! children of the granite hills,
That brisile with the hacmotack,
And sparkle with the crystal rills
That hurry toward the Merrimack,
Dam up those rills! for, while tbey run,
They all rebuke your Athbrtoh.
Dam up those rills! they flow so free
O'er icy slope and beetling crag,
That soon, they'll all be off at sea, ,
Beyond the reach of Charlie'Bgag; .
And, when those waters are the sea's,
They'll speak the thunder as they please
Then freeze them stiff! But let there
come
No winds to chain them; should they
blow " '
They'll speak of freedom ! Let thed umb
And breathless frost forbid their flow;
Then, all will be so hush'd and mum,
Yo'll think your Athkrton has come.
Not he ! " Of all the airs that blow'
He dearly loves the soft south west,
That tells where rice and cotton grow,
And man is, like "the Patriarchs," blest
(So says some eloquent divines!)
With God-given slaves and concu
bines. Let not tho winds go thus at largo, .
That now o'er all your hills career
Your Sunapee and Kearsargc
Nay, nay, methinkB the bounding deer,
That, We the winds, sweep o'er each hill,
Should all be gagged, to keep them
still.
And all your big and little brooks,
That rush down laughing toward the
sea,
Your Lampreys, Squams and Contoo
cooks, That bIiow a spirit to bo free,
Should learn, they're not to take such
airs:
Your mouths are stopped: then why
not theirs?
Plug every spring that dares to play
At bubble, in its gravel cup,
Or babble as it runs away.
Nay, catch and coop your eagles up !
It is i.ot fit that they Bhould fly,
And scream of. freedom through your
sky.
Ye've not done yet Your very trees
Those sturdy pines, their head that wag
In concert with the mountain breeze
Unless they'resilcnecd by a gag,
Will whisper ' Wb shall stand our
ground. ,
Our bcadsare up; Our hearts aresound.'
Sons of the granite hills, your birds,
Your winds, your wators and your trees,
Of power and freedom speak in words
That should be felt in times like these,
Their voice comes to you from the sky,
In them, God speak? of liberty:
Sons of the granite hills! awake!
Ye're on a mighty stream afloat,
With all your liberties at stake
A faithless pilot's on your boat;
And while ye've lain asleep ye're snagged,
Nor can ye cry for help ye're gag
, ged.'.'!
' Here we tee God dealing in slaves."
From the London Metropolitan.
THE PIRATE.
Scarcely had the Gascon given uttorance
to his discontent when tho man at the mast
head song out, "Deck a-hoy: a sail to
windward!''
Stamer went aloft with his glasses, and
in a few minutes returned, and said "eve
ry one to his post. We re in luck at last:
Cardie's whistle responded to this order.
Every man took his arms, and we boro up
towards the stranger, under all the sail we
could carry. It waB a truly horrible thing
to observe the sinister expression worn by
the hideous countenances of our lawless
crew. Dirty, bearded, and already scent
ing blood, their eyes flashing with fires of
cupidity und cruelty, the wretches all gazed
in the direction of their prey, as though
they wished to annihilate the distance
which separated them from it. In a
very brief space we neared our victim, a
large merchantman, whose appoaranco pro
mised at once easy conquest and a rich boo.
tj. At a signal from Stamer, a shot was
fired across her bows to bring her to. She
immediately noisted a white Hag, and began
to take in her sails; but this obviously pa
cific inclination was quite thrown away up
on the commander of the Shark. " Give
that fellow a shot between wind and water,"
cried he; " it will teach him to be quicker
in hie manoeuvres, and not keep worthy fel
lows so long waiting."
We were now within pistol-shot of tho
strangers, and Peters, bringing his musket
to bear upon one of her crew, fired and
knocked the man's straw hat from his head,
frightening the poor dovil, no doubt, but do
ing him no farther injury.
,'' Pretty fair, that!" said Stamar; "but
another time level lower. Halloa, you su
gar hogshead ! send a boat aboard us."
The order was obeyed on the instant, and
the boat coming along side us, a young nnd
handsome man leapedupon our deck, with
out the Blightest appearance of fear or sus
picion. . , '
"Who the devil are you?" demanded
Stamer', "loblolly-boy of your craft, or
cook's swab's second mate?"
' " I am neither ono nor the other, sir," re
plied the young man, firmly ," I am her lieu
tenant." "Oh, well, Mr. Lieutenant, you seo my
flag? it's red, as perhaps you can perceive.
Go you back, and send your captain hither;
I am not in the habit oftroating With swabs
of lower rank." -
Pale with anger, and knitting his brows,
the young man preserved, however, suffi
cient mastery over his temper to depart
without reply; and in n few minutes the
boat returned, bringing the captain..
" Where are you bound from?" demanded
Stamer.' . ' ' - '
i " From Martinique."
"What's your lading?" ' -
Aa usual from that port sugat and cof
fee." ' ' ' ' ,
"But how much spice? Nono of that,
ehl -
The French captain made no reply. The
sound of his voice, when he first spoke, had
struck me as being very familiar to me; and
the more I pondered, the more certain I be
came that this captain, ho had so unhap
pily fallen into our power, was well known
to mc. Stamer, guessing the truth from
the captains silence, resumed "I see how
it ia you have specio on board! Well;
your boat will just do to bring os just so
much of your freight as we may fiud H con
venient to accept of."
JILE 8, 1839.
" There is no holp for it," replied the un
fortunate captain, "and falsehood would be
disgraceful without being of any service I
frankly confess, then, that wo have specie
on board. To it, and every thing else we
have, you are welcome : but I trust that, in
return for my giving you no trouble, you
will allow me and my crew to depart with
out experiencing any personal ill treat
ment." " For what do you take us, messmate?'
Fie upon your suspicions! You may go as
soon as our visit is paid. My lieutenant
will accompany you. ' , .
The captain of the merchantman bowed,
and returned to go to his boat, accompanied
oy iorenzo. .
Five or six times tho merchantman's boat
went and came, bringing off to us all that
the pirates judged to bo worth Inking.
All this time the captain of the luckless
merchantman had been standing in silent
expectation of the final orders of Stamar,
who now said to him, " You can go on your
way now, my friend: and of a Burety you
cannot Bay that wo were so tiery wicked
toothers!"
Tho captain thus addressed, bowed in si
lence, hnulcd up his bout, and commenced
veering to proceed on his route. The Shark
then gently laid herself broadside to; Stam
ar gave a signal to the infamous Lorenzo,
and exclaimed at the same lirno to the mer
chantman's captain, "Adieu! a pleasant
voyage to you!"
Scarcely were the hypocrite's words ut
tered, when a fearful explosion of our whole
range of guns shook the very plank of
tho Shark, and for a few moments both
vessels were completely hidden in the thick
black clouds of smoke. Starnar now gavo
the word, tho Shark darted forward under
all sail; and when the smoke had somewhat
dispersed, we could bcc the unfortunate mer
chantman dreadfully torn by our shot her
deck covered with wounded men, whoso
cries nnd groans wore truly dreadful.
On perceiving that our broadside had
merely crippled the merchantman, instead
of sinking her, Stamar flew into one of his
fiercest paroxysms of rnge.
"Fools! brute beasts!" he exclaimed,
stamping on the deck: "why did they not
give it to her between wind and water? It's
a mere wns'o of powder and shot! Master!
start mo nil thoso novices put the verv
best men on board at the guns; above all,
sec that they rnm home well, and level
low!" .
Scarcely two minutes elapsed from the
giving of the ferocious order, when the new
broadside of the Shark vomited death and
destruction upon the crippled and helpless
merchantman. Again for a few minutes,
the horizon was obscured by dark and heavy
cIouiIb of smoke; and some minutes elapsed
before they cleared away sufficiently to en
able us to see the effects produced by our
volley. Frightful but impotent impreca
tion reached us through the atmosphere ;
and, at length wo distinguished the aged
and unfortunate captain mounted on the
bulwarks of his sh.Utcrcd vessel, now tear
ing his hair, and anon extending his clench
ed hst towards us, in vain menace anu de
testation. Traversed as his ship had been
in every direction by our balls, sho was ra
pidly sinking, and just as she was finally
settling down, some of her crew sought
shelter in her tops, while others plunged in
to the sea, and swain towards us. Alas!
the ca6e of those who still clung to tho masts
of the sinking ship was not a jot more hope
less than that of the unhappy men who loo
ked for safety in the mercy of Stamar.
Seeing that they swam vigorously, and pcr
severingly towards us, he shouted, " Shoot
me off a few of those jolly fellows. Mm t
l)ieu they seein marvellously well inclin
ed to aid in the consumption of our grog
and biscuit. Make good aim, I say, there,
some of you, and shoot me them off!"
His orders were obeyed to tho very let
ter. Shot followed shot in quick success
ion, and man after man fell beneath tho
murderous aim of the ferocious pirates.
Now and then a cap or a straw hat rose to
the surface, and floated ronnd the shattered
vessol which the foaming waVes wore now
fuBt engulpliing.
Suddenly, wilh a sound like the rushing
of a huge water-spout, an immense chasm
openod in the waves, the merchantman bal
diiced herself for a moment or two, and then,
with one lightning like bound, descended;
the tops of her masts were for on instant
seen lashing the waters, and then Bhe, and
tho unhappy wretches, who wore still cling
ing to her, disappeared forever. To thotu
mult of the horrible scene that had been en
acted, there succeeded for a few moments
a frightfully expressive silence, which was
broken by the voice of Stamar, who in tones
of infernal irony exclnimcd. " Adieu! a
pleasant voyage to you!"
" Look whhhe you abb going. This
was a remark wo heard yosterday, as we
missed alonff Chartrcs street, addressed by
a mother to a beautiful child, about five
years of age. The little fellow had lui

and attentive articles in the numerous show
windows, and with Ins eyes devouring their
beauties. ' He did'nt Bee the Btreets nor tho

with something else besides the mere idea
of how or where he was walking. Without
his mother, ho would certainly have been
run over by tho whirling drays or trodden
down in the careless crowd as it was, he
ran some risk, as his mother's " look where

We were much interested not only in the
child but the mother, who waB a noble look
ing creature, with large black eyes, a high
forehead, a cheek quite roseate for this cli
mate, and a most bewitctbing form. Her
carringe was graceful, and she Btepped as
we imagine Hobe did, when she served tho
gods aUheir banquet. We lost sight of her
verv soon however, but her remark, " L.00U
where you bfo going," has been ringing in
. . ... .1 .1 ! . 1 1
our ears ever since, uouiu 11 nave uuun uu
account of her voice! Wo wore charmed
by its music, but have listened to tones far
sweeter. . We know not what there was
about tho tingle phraso to attract, save tho
deep philosophy which may be drawn from
it, and tho practical morality that may be
induced. ,
"Look whore vou are coinir!" An ad
monition, how universal in application how
simple In practice how important in re
sult! There is no situation in life so low
that it cannot be improved by it, nor nono so
hich that mav scorn it with impunity. The

ness is exciting pricos brisk and the mar
ket active when farmers are confident and
speculators ready when rascality is hidden
by tho cloak 01 morals, and insolvency lurke
under silken robes, remember and " look
where you're going," follow not this man
because he promises you & fortune trust
not that one because he wearsja Baintly facet
confide not in a third because he agrees with
you in opinion. -" Look where you are go
ing," and take care of the main chance.
If a yourg man, and pleasure beckoning
with her rosy hands, invites you to her lux
uriant retreats, take no step towards those
enticing grottoes ere you "look where
you're going." Tho faro table and tho
dice box dishonesty to your employers
a ruinod reputation and perhaps an ignomi
nious death, may bo the conseciuonce of a
refusal to "look whero you're going." If
tho world followed this simple advice, our
jails would bo tenantlcss, and our gibbets
of no use.
If you intend to marry if you think your
happiness will be increased and your inter
est advanced by matrimony, be sure and
" look where you'ro going." Join yourself
in union Willi no woman wno is selfish, tor
she will sacrifico you with no ono who is
fickle, for she will become estranged have
nnught to do with a proud one for she will
despise you nor with nn extravagant, for
she will ruin you. Leave a coquette to the
fools that flutter around her let her own
fireside accommodate a scold, and flee from
a woman who luvos scandal as you would
fly from the evil one. " Look where you
aro going," will sum it all up.
Young Indies w hen you are surrounded

" look where you're going." When n dar

No OMR TABTP.S SO GOOD FnUITSJ AS HE
wiio UAisES tiii'.m. This is particularly
true as regards the small fruits of summer.
Tho black mulberry, it is stated in the En
cyclopedia Americana, is "perfection only a
few moments, anil that at the timo when it
can bo dctatched from the tree by a slight
shaking of the branches." "All the fruits,"
says Dr. Alcott, "but moro particularly the
berries, are more or lesB subject to the
same law-'' The perfection of tho straw
berry and raspberry lasts but an hour or
two; and even the pea, bean and Indian
corn, lose much ot their freshness and fla
vor by being plucked the day before they
arc used. Those who raise fruits, there
fore, niny pluck and eat them when they
are most grateful to the palate, and most
conducive to health.
Those who buy them on the contrary,
must buy those mat are prematurely garn
ered, or which have passed their best state,
nnd are in the incipient process of decay.
In peneral both of these objections lie a-
gainst summer fruits which are sold in the
market they are gathered before they are
ripe, and they are in tho progress ot decay.
How important is 11 inereiore, mat 1110 lov
ers of good fruit should take care to have it
n perfection, by selecting and cultivating
the choice varieties, when it can be done
at trilling expense.
" I ho luiues ot an green nuns, says
Dr. Alcott, "are vory dill'ureut frum those
of ripe ones. Their acids are less whole
some than after they aro changed by the
action of the sun in ripening; nor does the
addition of 6nccharino substances in pre
paring them, at all change their real na
ture. They are still these; tney are oniy
concealed. The oxalic acid is still oxalic
acid, cook green fruits as yuu will. No
culinary process, 1 repeal 11, can oe suusn
tutcd for, or produce the effect of solar ac
tion. The Creator, in many instances, by
means of the sun, performs the most perfect
culinary processes; and nature is often the
best kitchen and cook."
The use of rioe fruits is admirably adapt
ed to allay the feverish irritations of the
stomach and bowels at me seasons wnen
thev severally come to maturity; but un
ripe fruits, or those in the incipient stages
of decay, aro calculated 10 increase mese
excitomi'iits, and to generate disease.
Fruits should always become ripe 111 tneir

Wheat in AIaink. The State of Maine
has taken a noble stand, in the production
of wheat and corn. The number of bush
els of these two kinds of grain, raised last
year in that stale, is 1,11117,84.0 of whea.,
l,ino,unu of Indian corn in the ear. The
.Maine Fariu ir says "we are proud of this
exhibit. It shows what Maine can du.
She can raise her own broad nnd to spare.
.Massachusetts mised last yuar 97,105 bush
els, of wheat; Maine 1,010,040 bushels
more than that stale . Our own little coun
ty of Kennebec little in poiut of territory,
nroduced rJ0.'J2S bushels, being 2!),7S8
bushels more than tho whole state of Mas
sachusetts." Lot this be a lesson' we say tothefai
mers of the west. With a soil more diffi
cult of cultivation, and a climate far more
inhospitable to the production of Wheat,
tho state of Maine, in proportion to its pop
u'ation, has raised neaily as much bread
stuffs as thu Empire state. Think of the
wealth that has accrued to the state, at the
present high prices of grain,- by this eco
nomical measure. It has gone far to do
away with the evils of the miserable timber
