POETRY.
From the London Literary Gazette. A MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION.
Translated from the French of La Martiniere. Would you wish to get well without failing Of I know not whatill, which, I know not for why, For this fortnight has made you look feeble and ailing!
I prescribe you to buy,
How much I can't say, of a root I know not, To mix of I know not what simples a potion, Nound I know net what herbs, and of them make a lotion ;
Which applied piping hot, Will for aught that I know Make you eat, drink, and sleep, as a fortnight ago ; But this I can venture for certain to say, Half the doctors in London prescribe the same way.
THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS.
Notwithstanding most of our read. ers have probably read the last of the Mohicans, we cannot resist making a short extract. Uncas, the son of Chingachgook, and last of the Mohi- cans, is slain by an artful Huron, and buried by his nation according to the Indian customs. There is something irresistibly touching and simple in the lament of Chingachgook over the grave of the last of his race, as well as in the consolations of Hawk-eye, who, like him, is a renowned warrior. In delineating the Indian character, Mr. Cooper is very happy. The simplic- ity of their style, their striking com-
parisons to nature and noble thoughts make them an interesting race.
" Chingachgook become once more the object of the common attention. He had not yet spoken, and some- thing consolatory and instructive was expected from so renowned a chiief, on an occasion of such general interest. Conscious of the wishes of the people, the stern and self-retained warrior raised his face, which had latterly been buried in his robe, and looked about him, with a steady eye. His firmly compressed and expressive lips then severed, and for the first time during the long ceremonies, his voice was heard, distinctly audible.
'Why do my brothers mourn !' he said, regarding the dark race of deject- ed warriors, by whom he was environ- ed ; 'why do my daughters weep ! that a young man has gone to the hap- py hunting grounds ! that a chief has filled his time with honour ! He was good. He was dutiful. He was brave. Who can deny it ? The Manitto had need of such a warrior, and he has called him away. As for me, the son and the father of Uncas, I am 'a blaz- ed pine, in a clearing of the pale-faces.' My race has gone from the shores of the salt lake, and the hills of the Delawares. But who can say that the serpent of his tribe has forgotten his wisdom ! I am alone-'
' No, no,' cried Hawk-eye, who had been gazing with a yearning look at the rigid features of his friend, with something like his own self-command,

but whose philosophy could endure no longer ; ' no, Sagamore, not alone. The gifts of our colours may be differ- ent, but God hath so placed us as to journey in the same path. I have no kin, and I may also say, like you, no people. He was your son, and a red- skin by nature ; and it may be, that your blood was nearer ;- but if ever I forget the lad, who has so often fou't at my side in war, and slept at my side in peace, may He who made us all. whatever may be our colour or our gifts, forget me. The boy has left us for a time, but, Sagamore, you are not alone !'
" Chingachgook grasped the hands that, in the warmth of his feeling, the scout had stretched across the fresh earth, and in that attitude of friend- ship, these two sturdy and intrepid woodsmen bowed their heads together, while scalding tears fell to their feet, watering the grave of Uncas, like drops of falling rain.
" In the midst of the awful stillness with which such a burst of feeling, coming, as it did, from the two most renowned warriors of that region, was received, Tamemund lifted his voice, to disperse the multitude."
Contrast .- Maj. Stevens, the dwarf, measures in height thirty-one inches, and is between 25 and 30 years old .- His proportions are just and his fea- tures fair : his voice squeaking and ef- feminate,and in his conversation creates interest as much, perhaps, from the singular littleness of his person as from the solidity of his observations. He converses freely and answers with readiness any questions put to him .- He endeavours to say something often times pretty smart. The jokes of Maj. Stevens are always stoutly lauded.
Col. Mc N- - of the army, is up- wards of six feet six inches; and ev- ery way of the noblest proportions .- His immense chest, his legs, his arms, the intelligent expression of his coun- tenance, and, in short, the whole of his person, constitute a figure the most majestic and imposing. Ægis.
Liberality .- Mr. Jacob Wooligang, of Codorus township, (Penn.) owned one fourth of ticket No. 24517, which drew the capital prize of $100,000 in the late grand State Lottery of Mary- land, and after receiving his portion of the nett amount he presented one thou- sand dollars to the teamster who pur- chased the share for him.
Supreme Court .-- The March term of the supreme Judicial Court of Mas- sachusetts for the counties of Suffolk and Nantucket, commenced in this city on Tuesday last. Present, Chief Justice PARKER, Judges PUTNAM, WILDE, and MORTON. The Grand Jury and the Petit Juries were empan- nelled, and discharged till called for. It being a law term of the Court no jury-cases will be tried until towards the close of the term.
Isaac B. Desha .-- It is stated in one of the Western papers, that Isaac B. Desha, the murderer of Baker-who has twice been convicted by a jury of his country, of this horrid crime, but who, by the shuffling of his father and friends, has as often been screened from the halter, and a new trial grant- ed, has finally been released from prison !- Statesman.
A gentleman in this city has receiv- ed a letter from Mr. Reynolds, Capt. Symmes' chief engineer, and pilot ma- jor to the bowels of the earth, who says he is coming to the Emporium ere long.
A Sabbath in Boston .- Without being proud of the fact, we doubt whether there is a town or city in the United States, where more general respect is paid to the Sabbath, than in Boston.
A committee has been appointed at Halifax, to promote a steam naviga- tion between that place and Quebec.
There are 260,000 inhabitants in Vermont. The increase since the year 1800 has been 110,000.

ROBBERY OF THE MAIL.
New York, March 4 .- The great southern mail which left this city the 27th ult. has been robbed between Philadelphia and Baltimore. The agents of the Post Office have been vigilent to discover the robbers. In- formation of the robbery was instant- ly despatched to the East, and Messrs. Allens, brokers, of Philadelphia, who had deposited a number of bank bills in the post-office, on Tuesday, sent on a list of them to this city. On Friday, some of Messrs. Allens' notes were of- fered for exchange at a broker's office in this city, where information of the robbery had been received, by a well dressed young man, who called his name Nichols, who was forthwith ar- rested, examined, and committed to Bridewell. On his way he made sev- eral desperate attempts to escape ; and a loaded pistol and two dirks were found on him.
Public Spirit .- The inhabitants of Wellfleet have subscribed $100,000 for the purpose of erecting wharves, stores, &c. for the inspection of mack- erel. Sixty sail of mackerel vessels are now owned at this place.
Ebenezer Baldwin Esq. has resign- ed the office of Recorder of the City of Albany, and the Governor has nom- inated to the Senate, James M'Cowan, Esq. to fill his place.
In Hillsborough N. C. a son stabbed, and killed his father (Lewis Hunt) who was wrestling. The blow, with a Spanish knife, was aimed at an antag- onist, but hit his father.
James McNaught, a gun, smith, of Richmond, Va. has been committed to gaol on a charge of having shot a young man by the name of Daniel Denoon, formerly his appretice. Mc- Naught committed suicide the night he was committed.
A comfortably rich importer, a short time since, sold an honest labour- er half a barrel of sugar, and while the man went for a cart, the merchant took out about 25 lbs. The fraud was
detected and he has paid dearly for the iniquity.
Two Irishmen, a little while since, hired a boat to go on a fishing frolic, below the Fort. There was a small furnace in one end, in which, it being rather chilly, towards evening, they kindled a fire. Returning, the boat took fire, and they rowed for their lives, for South Boston. By the time they reached the wharf, opposite the House of Industry, the boat was near- ly half consumed. The instant they reached land, away they ran, like dis- tracted men, to the first house, and asked of the good lady, the privilege of drawing a few buckets of water from the pump-for their boat was all in flames-and they had but just escaped in time to draw a "booket of warter to put the d -- d thing oot."

DIED
In Gloucester, on Thursday evening, Feb. 23, suddenly, Capt. William Damrell, of Portsmouth, and master of the Sloop Bos- ton of that port, aged 36. Capt. D. was probably the largest man in the United States. He weighed about a month since, 444 pounds. His coffin was made of plank, and measured across the breast 3 feet 6 inches, and in depth 3 feet, and was 7 feet in length. The hearses in Gloucester were pot large enough to admit the coffin, and
his remains were carried to the grave in e cart. It required ten men to perform the rites of interment .- Essex Reg.
In Chelsea, on the evening of the 25th ult. Abijah Hastings, esq. in the 96th year of his age. He was born in Waltham, but ear- ly in his life he settled in Chelsea. Natu- rally possessed of a strong, clear mind, he was distinguished by the calmness with which he examined the subjects and the opinions, which were proposed to his atten- tion ; and amidst all the fluctuations of time and circumstance, through his 'long pilgrimage, he has ever been a rational and consistent politician and christian. During a number of years he was a teacher of youth : and while in the vigor of life, for a long while he sustamed, with perfect integ- rity, the most important and responsible offices in the gift of the town. He was also once for eight months, and at another time through a year, in the army of the revolu- tionary war, in the capacity of ensign. His faculties, and the peculiar characteris- tics of his mind, he retained to the last.
In Hartford, Con. S. Putnam Waldo, Esq. grandson of the late Major Gen. Israel Putnam, aged 46. The deceased was a man of superior literary attainments. As an author, he had acquired considerable ce- lebrity. His " Memoirs of Jackson," " Life of Decatur,' " Robbins' Journal," &c. have passed through several editions .-- It is said that more than fifty thousand copies of these works have been printed and sold within the last seven years.
In Andover, Pompey Lovejoy, a black, aged 102 years. Pompey was born in Bos- ton, a slave, but lived to enjoy the bles- sings of liberty. He lived on the spot where he died 91 years : the wife of his bosom and partner of his cares is still liv- ing, at the age of 98, and two unmarried nieces, whom it was customary with them to designate as the children, live in the family, one 68 and the other 50 years of age. Pompey was the oldest man in the county of Essex, and enjoyed his intellect- nal faculties to the last.

From the London Literary Gazette. SONG.
There's a shade upon that fountain ; It will not linger there ; But the cloud now resting on it Will leave it yet more fair.
Not thus the shade may pass That is upon thy heart, There is no sun in earthly skies Can bid its gloom depart ;
For falsehood's stain is on it, And cruelty and guile --
And these are stains that never pass, And shades that never smile. L. E. L.
" Curious Epitaph .- The follow- ing extraordinary composition may be seen in the church-yard of Thet- ford, Norfolk :
- My grandmother was buried here, My cousin Jane, and two uncles dear ; My father perished with a mortification in his thighs ; My sister dropped down dead in the Minories But the reason why I am here, according to my think- ing,
Is owing to my good living and hard drinking ; Therefore good Christians, if you'd wish to live long, Beware of drinking brandy, giu, or any thing strong."
