• - 4 MOONLIT BAITLE-7TIELD.
By Shelley.
Hon; beautiful this night! the balmiest sigh
Which vernal zephyrs breathe in Evening's ear,
Were discord to the speaking quietude
That wraps this, moveless scene - . Heaven's ebon vault,
Studded with stairs unutterable bright,
Through which the moon's unclouded grandeur rolls,
Seems like a canopy which Love had spread
To curtain -the sleeping world. • You gentle hills,
Robed in a garment of untrodden snow ;
Yon darksome rocks; whence icicles depend,
So staint less, that their white anl glittering spires
Tidge not the moon's pure beam; yon castled steep,
Whose banner hangeth o'er the time• worn tower
So idly, that rapt Miley deemeth it
A metaphor of pence—all form a scene -
Where musing solitude might love to lilt
Her soul above this .phere of earthliness; •
Where skletire undisturbed Might watch alone,
So cold, so bright, so still:
• The orb of day,
In southern climes, o'er ocean's waveless field
Sinks sweetly smiling ; - not the faintest breath
,Steals o'er the unruffled deep; the floods of eve
Reflect unmoved the lingering, beam ofday ;
And Vesper's image on the western main
Is beautifully still. To-morrow comes; -
Cloud upon cloud, in dark and deepening mass,
Rolls o'er the blackened waters ; the deep roar.
Of distant thundermtmeis.awfully ; - .
Tempest unfolds its pinion - 2i o'er the glootn
That shrOtids the boiling surge ; the pitiless fiend
With att its winds andlightning tracks his prey ;
The torn deep-yawn; the vessel finds a grave
Be neath its jagged gulf.
whence yon glare
That fines the arch of heaven} that dark red smoke
Bloating the silver moon 1 The"stars are quench'd
In darkness, and the pure spangling snow
Gleams faintly through thi gloom that gathers round.
Hark to that rear, whose swift and deariiing peals
In countleks echoes through the mountains ring,
Startling pale midnight on her starry throne! .
•
Now swells the intermingling din, the jar,
Frequent and frightful of the bursting bomb;
The falling beam s the shriek, the groan, the shout,.
The ceaseless clangor, and the rush of men -
inekriate with rage! loud and more loud
The discord grows; till pale Death shuts the steno
And o'er the donquer'd draws
His cold and bloody shroud.. Oral! the nun
Whom day's departing beam saw blooming there,,
In proud and vigorous health ; all, the hearts,
That beat with ansidns life at sunset there.
Now few survive, how few are beating now :
All in deep silence, like the fearful calm
That slumbers in the storm's portentous pause;
Save where the frantic wail of widow.'d love •
Comes shuddering on the blast; or the, faint moan
With which some soul bursts from the frame of clay
Wrapt round its struggling powers.
Tho gray morn
Dawns on the mournful scene ; the sulphUrous smoke
Before the icy winds slow rolls away, •
'Andlthe bright b4 - lins of frostyorniug dance
Along the spangling snow. Th ere tracks of blood;
Even to the forest's depth, and seamed arms,
And lifeless warriors, whose hard lineaments
Deall's self could change not, mark the dreadful path
Of the ontsallying victors ; far behind
Black ashes note where their proud city stood.

•• L ' A Thrilling Sketch,—The Dud between
Henry Clay - and John Randolph, of Roanoke.
The aecounlof the duel which we extract has
been given totpo• public in a letter of General
James Hamilton, who accompanied Ran
dolph to the field on this occasion in conjunction
with Colonel Tattnall, then in Congress from
Georgia. . •
`'•The night before the duel, NI r.Handulpli sent
for me. 1 found him calni, but in a singular
ly confiding mood.. He told me that he had some
.thing .his mind to tell me. ,
He then .remarked—" Hamilton, I am deter
mined to receive without returning elay's firo;
nothing shall induce me to berm a hair of his
head; I will not make his • wife a widow. or his
children orphans Their 'tears 'would he:shed
over his grave ; but when the, sod of Vi'rginia
rests on my bOsom t there is not in the wide. world
an individual to },ay this tribute upon Mini." iiis
eye filled, and resting his head upon his ttaod, he
remained silent •
I replied--,“My , dear friend," (for ourrOves a
posthumous Mende:tip bequeathed by olik,moth
ers,) .1 deeply regret that you have mentioned
this subject to me, for you call me tail go to the
field and see you shot down, or to asifitue the re
sponsibility in s regatd to your own life in susfain- 1
iug your determination to throw it away. But
on this subject, a man's co4cience and his own
bosorti are his best' monitors. l will not . advise ;
but under the eriertnous.and unprovoked person
al insults you hive offered Mr. Clay, I cannot dis
suade. I feel bound, however, to communicate to
Col. 'Fattnall your decision.
' Ile begged me not to dci so, 'and said he was
very much afraid that Taitnalt wont'? take the
Reeds; and refuse to go out with him. 1, howev.
er, sought Col. 'Faunal!, and we repaired about
midnight to the lodgings of MrAandolph, wham
we found reading Milton's great piem. • Fur some
moments he, did not permit us to sap a word in
reUtion to the approaching 'duet, and at once
commenced one of those delightful criticisms in
which he- was-Wont so enthusiastiCally . to indulge.
After a pause, Col. Tattnall remarked—“ Mr.
Randolph, I lain told you are determined not to
return Mr. Clay's' fire: I must say to you, my
dear sir, if I am only going out to see you shot
dovin, you limn. find some other friend?: '
:
M. Handolph remarked that such was his de
termination. After. much conversation on the
subject, I induced Cot. Tattnall to allow Mr.
Randolph to take his own course, as his withdraw- ,
al as one Of his friends might lead to very inju
rious misconstructions. At last Mr. Randolph,.
• I
smilingly, said— ' ' t ,
•• Well, Tatman, I promise you one thing, if I
see the devil in Mr. Clay's eye, and that with
malirepense he Means to take my life, I may
change my mind," 7 -a remark I knew he merely
made to propitiate the anxiety of his friend. -
Mr. Clay and inn:itself met at four u'clOck the
succeeding ccening - on the banks of the Potomac.
But he saw no ..devil in Clay's eye," but a man
fearless, and ewes - sing the, mingled sensibility_
and firmness which belonged to the occasion.
rshall never forget this scene as long as I live.
It has been my misfortune to witness several duels,
but 1 never 'saw one, at least in its sequel, so dep
ly affecting.
The sun was just sinking behind the blue hills
of Randolph's own Virginia. Here were two of
the most extraordinary men our country in its
prodigality had produced, about to meet in mortal
cernbat. '
White Tattnall was loading Randolph's pistol,
I approached my frier.Z I believed fur the last
time. I took his hand, there was not in his touch
the qiikkening of one pulsation. He turned to
Me and said. "Clay is calm but not vindictive. I
tuild my, purpose ; Mr. Hamilton, in any event, re-
Member'. this. '
.On hiuding him the pistol, Col. Tattnall sprung
the hair trigger. Randolph said—
"'Fennell, although I \ am one of the best shots
in Virginia, with either pistol or gun, yet I never
fire with I hair trigger ; besides, I have a thick
1 buckskin glove on, which Will\ destroy the deli
! caey of my touch, and the trigger may fly before
I I know where I am."
36-6 m
But from the great solicitude of hi. friend,
Taupell insisted upon behing the trigger. On
taking positicw, the fact turned out es Mr. Ran
dolph enticipared bie pistol went off before the
word with muzzledown. - • •
The moment the event took place, Gen. Jesaup,
Mr. Clay's friev,d, - called oat that- he would
standy leave the field with his friend if it occur
red again. Mr. Clay at once exclaimed that it
was entirely' an accident, and begged that the
gentleman might be allowed to go on. On the
word being given, Mr. Clay filed without effect
—Mr. Randolph discharged his pistil in the air.
The•mornont that Mi. Clay saw that Randolph
threw away his fire, with a gush of sensibility;
he inatantly approached Ar. Randolph. and said.
en emotion I can nirset forget
-1 t at in God, my 'dear sir, 7cu are untotteh-
ed • alter what has occurred, I would not harm
you fur a thousand worlds!"
Deeply affected by this scene; I could not re.
(lain from grasping Mr. Clay by the hand, and
said—
•My good air, we have been 4 flog separated,.
but anm the events of to-day, I reel that we must
be friends forever."
F TV."" The Spidee's Thread.—That any crea
ture could be found to fabricate cnet, not less in
'genieus than_that of the fisherman, for the cap
ture of its prey; that it should fix it in the right
place, and then patiently await the result, is a
proceeding so strange that, if we did not see it
done daily before our eyes by the comorn house
spider and garden-spider, it would seem wonder
ful. But how much is our wonder increased
when . we think of the complex fabric of 'each.sin.
gle thread, and then of the mathematical precis
ion and rapidity with which, in certain cases, the
net itself is constructed ; and to'add to all this, as
an_ example of the wonders which the most com
mon things exhibit when carefully examined, the
net of the garden-spider consists of two distinct
kinds of silk. . Threads forming the concentric
circles are composed of a silk much more elastic
than that of the rays, and - are studded riser with
minute globule's of a visciirgum, sufficiently ad
hesive to retain, any unwary fly which comes in
contact with it. A net of average dimensions is
estimated by Mr. Blackwell to contain 437,360 of
these globules, and a large net of fourteen or-six
teen inches in diameter, 120.000; and yet such a
net will. be tornpleted by one species ,(Eperia
4oelica) in about forty minutes, on an average,
if no interruption occurs.— Infroduen to :LootTN.

TheCshops are generally about six feet in front,and

eight feet wide:, so than when the shops are open
it is rather difficult fi..r people to pass each otherin
the business part of the town. The streets are

large flat stones for the people to walk or step iteon

i.. - 4 7 ''The First 4Wedding.- 2 Majtir Noah thus
pleasantly rand philosophically diicources upon
the first wedding. He sayer: We like Short
courtships, and in his, Adam acted like a sensible
man—he fell asleep a bachelor and awoke to and
himself a married man. He appears to have pop
ped the question almost immediately after meeting
Miss Eve, and she, without flirtation or shyness,
gave him a kiss and herself. Of this firsi kissin
the world we have, however, in a poetical inciod,
Wished we were the man that did .:But, the
deed is done—the chance was Adam's, and he
improved it. We like the notion of 'getting mar
ried in a garden. Adam's was price o. No en
vious beaux 'were there ; no croaking old. maids;
no chatting aunts and 'grunting grandmothers.
The •birds of Heaven'were the minstrel., and the

thing about.the first wedding.brings queer things

Fr-imeriean Tea.—We learn by a co.nmu
nication in the Union, that the Hon. James Bu
chanan, Secretary of State. has recently received
a package of tea, grown in Brazil;from our consul
at St. Catharine's. The leal is something larger
dud darker than the Chinese tea; its flavor is
strong and aromatic, and resembles the best speci
mens fiont China. .W When prepared. it strongly as.

arßeeipe for Cleaning Engravings.—Put
the engraving on a smooth board, cover it thinly'
with common saltfinely pounded ; pour or squeeze
lemon juice upon the salt, so as tollissolve a con
siderable• portion of it ; elevate, one end of the
board, so that it may form an angle of 48 or 50
degrees with the horizon. Pour on the engraving
boiling water from a tea-kettle, until the salt and
lemiin-juice,be ell washed off; the engraving
'will then be perfectly clean, and free from stains.
It must be dried on the board, or some smooth
surface gridnally. If dried by the fire or the
sun, it will be tinged with a yellow color. Any
one may satisfy himself of the perfect efficacy
of this method, by trying it on an engraving of

him he must bring his books into Court and prove
