BY MISS L. VIRGINIA SMITH. ( God ! what a night of horrors ! ',Wake, rouse me! Ah! take off this fiendish fear jThat fastens fang-like on my soul, and crush ' These serpent dreams, that curdle in my brain ! I Strike down this ghastly Horror, ere its eyes Scorch up ray life blood, and its reeking breath ; Blinds me with pestilential poison, foul , From out tho charnel- house ! Ha J gone! Awake ! |ls that the sun ? I will bethink me, ah ! . IW hat hideous dream was that which pass’d me then? ; What nameless terror, wrapt in formless gloom, ' What lurid, dark plumed phantasy of hell ! ' I ora awake, the morn is up,’and yet A dark remembrance lies upon rny soul, Like the chance dropping of a raven’s plume Upon a snow drift drift, white, and cold, ami lone. It is is the shadow of that fearful dream, That vision of the maniac demon-power, 3 Which waste immortal being like to dust, ! And digs a. grave for the dissolving soul. Monarch of Madness, thou and thou aiono, Art {< King of Terrors,” strong to slay the sml, And make its shrinking clay its sepulchre. ' Dead despot of annihilation’s realm, Thyself art nothingness, a formless void. Deep shrouded in a veil of vagueness, while Thy features seem a horny, chilling glare, With naught distinguishable, save those eye*. Which hold Buch deeps of desert vacancy, As tell there is no soul within to light Its star-flame in their dreary solitudes ! } And yet a mighty power is thine, thou ghoul, , Fall feeding on decaying senses, fiend , And vampyre, draining-out the very streams Of immortality. Stern judgment falls Before the senseless from his throne, and strong. Proud reason building tip her columned arch 01 lofty argument, forgets her work. To die beneath Us ruins, when thy breath O’rwhelms it like the deserts pillard sands Before the simoon! Fancy’s dancing light. The borealis of the mind, is quenched. Imagination’s mirror ground to dust, And worse than all, tomb-breaker, thou dost tear The pure heart-graves of memory, and strew The treasures of its buried loves abroad, All trampled and debased. ’Tis agony ; To see a spirit writhing in the chains, As first .the struggling senses retd and strive To grasp once more a memory of a hope, And vainly strive, as does the blasted tree To clasp tho fleeting wind. Anon the brain Becomes a hungry hydra’s swarming lair, Whence, wild with terror, bursting all its bars, . | Tho stung and startled spirit, shrieking flies . On bloody, burning pinions, flies, alas! To faint and perish in thy black abyss. And idiot laughter echoes from its grave, Hollow and fearful as the earth’s first fall , Upon the conffin-lid ; and yet’tis joy •To thee, thou callous conqueror of the mind,, j And thou dost gloat above the spbils of all mortals deora immortal. J Death is kind ; Oh ! when the heart is weary, ami the soul - la wrung with wretchedness, she opens her arms And like some soft voiced angel bids us rest In dreamless slumber on her bosom. Yes; E’en death,is kind, but thy devouring worms In madness seize upon the living brain, And riot in the warm and bounding heart. ' The affection’s torture rack our life In sudden spasms, or drop by drop, the fierce, Wrung spirit weeps it tears of burning gall— The sngel death come «panoplied in woe— But save us father, from that phantom-king Who winds around the writhing soul, and drags. It down, down, down to his abysmal heart. Important Decision. Girard's “ITTIx. and the City.— We copy from ‘ the City papers of Tuesday, the following impor tant opinion'of the Supreme Court, delivered by Justice Ellis Lewis, on the previous day, in tbe case of the Wharf Owners against the City of ' Philadelphia. The ease arose under the construc tion of a clause in the will of the late Stephen Girard. The opinion possesses much interest to the commercial community of Philadelphia, is written with great ability, and will be generally read throughout the Sta;te. \ The Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of Pluladd hia vs. Henry Paul Beck el. al. Appeal from Nisi Vtus In Equity. Opinion of the Court.—Lewis J. , —The question for decision in this case is, whether any part of the income of the lund of $500,000 given to the city authorities in trust-for the objects • betified in the 22d section of the Will of tbe late ‘ Hephen Gir wj c-inbi rigntfully applied to the ex penses of cleatnqg the' docks on the Delaware front Vf the city. .\ \ The three objecWof the testator's bounty, enu merated in the 22d are—lst. The laying mt of Delaware avenuej.2d. The removal of all wooden buildings within ft* city ; and 3d. The vudemng of Water street. Each, of these was di luted to be accomplished in the-order in which t ey are named. The first object to which the income of tbe fund is di jcted to be applied is the laying out, regulating, cu bing lighting and paving a street on the e*st part oflhe city of Philda., to be called Delaware Avenue. ‘ln.order that this object might be accomplished, it ivvas necessary that the city authorities should ac quire powers from the Legislature and rights from (individuals to enable them to remove, orpulldown. \all the buildings, fences and * obstructions which t light be in the way; to prohibit all buildings fen es or erections of any kind to the eastward of th* avenue, audjto fill up the heads of such of the docks -'as might not afford sufficient room for the street i lo be laid out. ; ! As the proposed improvement facilitated access o the wharves and docks, and greatly increased the commercial advantages of that part ot the city, it was reasonable, and necessary to the full enjoy ment of those ,ad vantages, that the individuals who would derive the greatest benefit from tbe improve- Jment, and who were bound to keep the docks and .wharves in proper condition lor their appropriate uses, should be compelled to fulfil their obligations in that respect. And the confidence which the tes tator reposed in the authorities of the-city, as shown throughout his will, sufficiently indicates the reason | for bb .desire that those authorities should be eloth i ed bj the Legisla'ure with the necessary power to enforce these obligatiops. Wi think that it was not, the intention of the lestatpr to appropriate any part ot.the fund to de ' fray the expense of cleaning the docks. On the i contrary, we think it sufficiently manifest that his intention warf'to compel the owners of the wharves, to perform this duty and to keep their wharves in order, and to remove the platforms projecting there from over the river supported by piles. This must of course be understood distributionaily, according "to thb existing liabilities of the parties. Each 'Wharf owner to his own wharf in order, fo : temove the platlorms projecting therefrom, and to ; defray the expenses of cleaning the adjoining river in 1 proportipnlo: the number of.feet of his lot or ( landing adjoining on each side of the dock. • This duty was imposed upon the owners of wharves by the acts of Assembly of 169S&1100: and the act of 1 803 made it the duty ofthe Master Warden to superintend the execution of these laws. Although the drainage of the City may contribute largely to the sifting of the docks, it must be re membered that this drainage is but the natural dis charge of deposites which, but for the obstructions created by the wharves, would find their way, with out impediment, to their appropriate receptacle, thedheao. And the increase in quantity arising from the business at the wharves and the drainage of a large and populous city, is but the result of that Commerce which gives to the wharves their ctnel value. , , . It is therefore a principle of obvious justice, that those who receive the profits of these structures, erected upon the public domain, should Irene the charge ol keeping them in suitable condition for the uses for which they were constructed. It ,s to be presumed! that the testator was perfectly aware of this just and legal liability of the owners of wharves, and we see no sufficient indication in his will of an intention to take the burthen from the shoulders of those who were so justly bound to bear it, and thus to apply to private advantages a fund w-hich could be more usefully employed in promoting objects of general utility. The objection, that this construction imposes upon owners of wharves, “a joint obligation to clean all the docks, and thus conveys a meaning that is ex travagant,” is nothing more than an endeavor to support one misconstruction of. the will by another, quite as far from the true intention of the testator as the first. It rests upon a verbal criticism, cer •tainly not entitled to in tbe construction of instruments supposed to be frequent ly prepared in the hour ot extremity, assistance of professional advice. It is certainly true that there is a looseness of expression in the i instrument before us; but this only demands, with ; more urgency, that the general intent shall over • bear small objections of expression and punctuation. There is as much propriety in understanding the j testator to speak distributive!? in reference to the | docks and platforms, as in regard to the whanes. 1 The wharf, tbe dock, and tbe platform, are so t connected with each other, in their construction and in their uses, that they may be regarded, for many : purposes, as identical. The dock is useless without ! the wharf; the latter is of no value independent of i the dock ; the platform is but an extension of the wharf, and the owner of the wharf receives the I profits of the whole. ' Why then should the charges of keeping the whole of this structure in proper - condition for its uses be divided? Why should a I sirnnger assume tbe duty- ol keeping the docks in order, while the owner, who received all the profits 1 of the dock and the wharf is only required to keep 1 the dock in order? An equivocal declaration of such intention would, of course, be regarded and enforced; but. in our opinion, no such intention is expressed. , - « The direction to apply the income of the fund to three objects, in the order which they are specified, excluding the two last from any participation until the first shall be accomplished within some deter mined period, but according to the construction claimed by the appellees, the fund must be applied to a charge of perpetual obligation—to an object i which never can be accomplished so long as the ! ruin descends and the streams pursue their courses ! to the ocean. There is nothing in the 23c! section of the Will to change the legitimate and independent construc tion ofthe 22d; taking both toi-ether, we see that although the testator dcsihd the City authorities to obtain power to enforce the liabilities of the owners of wharves, yet he did not consider that an object of sufficient importance to make it one ol the con ditions of his legacy ol $300,000 to the State. He intended to specify among those conditions, only such laws as. were “necessary to carry into effect the several improvements designated in the section immediately preceding.' 1 An act to authorize the City corporation to compel the owners of wharves to keep their docks-in order and to remove their platforms, was not ill that category; and of course was not named as one of the conditions of the leg ; aey to the State, The act of 1832, in complying not only with the 1 condition upon which ihe legacy was given, but | with the wishes of the testator as expressed in the 22d section, may be regarded as tbe enlightened judgment of a co-ordinate branch of the govern ment. in the exercise of its legitimate functions of legislation, in favor of the construction now given to°the will by this Court. This construction is in accordance with the justice of the case; and by preventing the application of the Jund to objects of private advantage which may be otherwise attained, and securing it to those of public and general bene fit, we are carrying out what was manifestly the great purposes of the testator. U may not be necessary, at present to express an ! opinion respecting the disposition of the fund, alter ■ the three objects enumerated In the 22d section I shall have been accomplished: but it would cer tainly be well for those entrusted with its manage ment, to pausfr-before they apply it to the purposes which the testator intended to accomplish bf en forcing the obligations of the wharf owners, and thus prevent its application to the "further improve ment of the Eastern Iront of the city. 7 ' If the in tention of the testator was to secure one benefi cial object by compelling the performance of indi vidual duties, and others by tbe application of his own funds, the discretion of the trustees must be controlled by that intention. • The decree at Nisi Prius is reversed; and it is . ordered and decreed that the Bill be dismissed at tbe costs of the appellees. Fashion at the North Pole. The way the ladies indulge lancy among the Esquimaux, may be worth comparing with our wajs in more temperate latitudes: “The dress of a married lady is composed of a pair of short seal skin pants, for outside, extending nearly to the knee joint, where the legs of the boots, made of the same material, or of deer shin. The upper part of the person is covered with a ‘'jumper,” or a kind ol sack, with a hood for the head, and sleeves, made whole, with the exception of a place lor the face and arras. This also is made of seal 'kin or deer skin, and in the warmer weather is covered with a fancy colored cotton cloth sack.— In the coldest and wet weather the cloth sack is removed and a seal skin coverin4, with fur, placed in its stead. This composes their whold dress.— The dress of an unmarried lady is distinguished by a broad band made of fancy figured webbing, about two and a half inches wide, sewed on each side of the tront of their pants, extending nearly the whole length ot them. A married woman can be distinguished from an unmarried one.by the hair, which, in both cases, is tied upon the top ol the head, and the ends o( that ot the married are colored blue, and of tbe unmar ried jed. This enables a gallant to act the amia ble without danger of making advances to some one already married, and getting a stray shot from an injured husband. The boots are made very nearly, slender and well proportioned. The upper leather is colored'. They tan deer skins with urine, and their seal skins ere dressed in a beautiful man ner, simply by drying-end rubbing them with a smooth stone. A pair ol Rippers completes the wardrobe of a lady in the'Esquimaux country; these are made of deer- skin,&qd neatly fringed round tlie tops with white rabbitafcjr. The cloth ing which was shown us was made in a very tasty ami strong manner, every thread used bting made ol the sinews of the deer, and, ol course, v»ry du rable. The dresses of the males are .very similar to the married ladies, with the exception that tfisy are longer ami rather heavier* The Danes are' scattered about among the Esquimaux, and furnish them with what few foreign-articles they may want, which are limited for their spears, and some few ofnamerits for their dresses and col oring for their hair and ladies boots” Superior Silk Velvets.

' TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured themselves by private and impropor indulgencies, that secret and solitary.habi's. which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for either business or society. ' These are some of the sad and melancholy el* feels produced by early habits uf youth, viz: Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the head, Dimness of Sight, L?os9 of .Muscular Power, Pal pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrita bility, Derangement ol the Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoras.of Consumption, &c.
