Evon't Safety Guards for preventing Explosion of

IT would be well for the traveling community to
bear in mind that their security depends entirely
upon their own encouragement of boats that have or
may be at the expense of procuring the above appara
tus. And that every individual making such selec
dons is contributing towards a general introduction of
an invention admitted by all men who understand the
principles of the Steam Engine, to be a'sure preventa
tive against those dreadful disasters. Yon have cer
tainly, in the hundreds of explo.ions that have already
taken place, their almost daily occurrence, and the
thou tandii otlives that have already been lost, a suffi
cient warning, and inducement to' make inquiry for a
Suety guard Boat, and in every ca, , e, to give it the
preference. They have went to an additional expense
that your live may be secure. Ought you not therefore
to meet them with a corresponding degree of liberality,
and by your preference. show that yota appreciate their
laudable endeavors to stop this awful sacrifice of hu
man life. They do not charge more than other boats;
their aecommodation; in other respects are equal, and
in many cases superior; and as there is one leaving
Pittsburgh every day, why will you run any risk, when
it is so completely in y onr own power to avoid those dis-
ast t c l r l . boats marked thus [*] in the List of Arrivals and

PRICE, TWO CENTS.-
In Venice once there lived a sooty fellow ,
By trade a soldier, and by name Othello;
He wood the gentlest damsel ever known,
Fair, virtuous, blooming maid called Desdertmaai
Her father would as lief Old Nick had bad kr.
So one fine night Othello brought a ladder
Beneath her casement, and without much tronbia
The pair eloped, and got themselves made decal%
Othello 's ancient was a cunning rascal,
A deep, designing villain, who could mask all
His gloomy treachery so that poor Othello
Thought him a most surpassing honest fellow.
This villain, findit ' = that his General granted
A post to Michael Cassio which he wanted,
Determined, n ithout making any pother,
To be revenged on both the one and t'otheri
And the first thing the malicious brute did
Was Chint that Cassio had the Moor cornmeal
The Moor, however, looked for confirmation.
Not trusting quite lago's information:
lago being a confounded swiper,
One night makes Cassio drunk as any piper{
Whereon the latter got into a hobble,
By stabbing one Montano in a squabble:
The Moor dismisses him for this aggression,
But Desdemona tries her intercession
To have his rank restored, and grows so zealotai
In his behalf, Othello becomes jealous.
Meanwhile logo got a certain kerchief, ,
Which Desdemona had received from berth/et,
In Cassio's chamber and contrived to leave it,
Then. tells the Moor it was his wife who gave it
Othello, flying in a wondrous passion,
Attacked his wife in most uncivil fashion;
Cali'd for the handkerchief, she tried to find It:
But could not, so she begged him not to mind hi
And sought in vain to soothe his Excellency,
Who left the room in a confounded pbrenzy.
Poor Desdenona passed the day iu weeping,
Then went to give her heart relief by sleeping,
And sought the couch upon whose downy feathef
Her lord and she had oft reposed together.
There while in slumber, soft and pure reclining,
Bright holy visions o'er her fancy shining.
She lay; is came her husband with a candle,
His eyes dilated, and his dagger's handle
Clasped in one fond. On tiptoe he tuivances
To the bed side, and on her sweet face glances':
Ind after divers doubts and much misgiving,
Swears that she chant stay longer with the Hying
Wakes her and says, 'tis quarter past eleven,
And bids her pray to fit her soul for heaven.
He'll give her just five minutes to get ready.
Poor Desdemona's head grows quite unsteady;
She sighs and sobs, assures him he's mistaken,
But spite of all, the rascal is unshaken;
And though her tears would make a lump of curd ati4
He smothers the poor creature with the bolster.
The servants hearing, all this noise, and thinking
There's something wrong, break through the door DUI
In rush the lady's father, Gratiano, winidags
Emelia, lago and Montano.
Em dia says she gave her lord and master
The handkerchief that caused the sad disaster.
Ingo's guid is made nppear quite clearly;
Othello sticks him with hi+ sword severely.
The people seize his blade—he makes a swagger--;
Speaks of his deeds, then draws out his dagger:
Regrets that he should have used his wife so badly:,
Then st abs himself, to end the story sadly.
The tale is writ in Shakspeare's lyric finis,
But his account is not so good as mine is.
I am of a migratory, ruminating temperament, ani
often draw on imagination for a repast. where materiel,
'objects do not present themselves. It is my h s
and a custom with me on a journey, wherever I h
if only for a day, to ascend the highest tower,
to visit the churchyard. I thus blend the contemplo
tion of the ways and dwellings of man, with a certain
termination of all their strife, their jealousies, theit
I love and hatred, in this last silent* r.'sting place,
, where side by side they lie, the high and low, the op•
pressor and oppressed, embedded together.
I have said that I am a wanderer—but a few months
have elapsed, since I was sauntering in the golden
m adows of Florence, on the margin of the Arno .
under the shade of lofty pines—to-day I recline on the
bank of a rippling brook, near the almost unknown
village, of Erlin ' eburch. There, cheered by the
brightness of the climate, and the ever elastic gaity
of the people (cf die lovely Stella !of Florence I ma
silent,) hew, thrown almost cut of the limits of Mani
impervious woods around me, and a northern sky, and
northern inhabitants, clouded with thought and wand;
ly lighted with smiles—l was absorbed, and followed
unconsciously the meandering course of the rivulet,
which at every step seemed to lesejts infantine mur
murings, and as it increased in breadth became sent{:
bly sti.ler, deeper, sadder, and more striking--na very
epitome of life! I w andered on until I deserted the
path along the river, and found myself in the heart of
la deep wood. I had ascended some height, and sud
denly found myself on the brink of a rocky precipice,
from whence a view of a deep glen presented itself.-4
On the other side arose astccp height thickly covered
with beech trees; and along the side I could disover
a path winding upwards, so narrow as scarcely to per.
mit of a passenger. To attain this patch I was emu
pelled to slide down by the natural columns of the
crag on which I stood: I had something to do, and be.
fore I reached my object, the dreamer was th;roughly
awake. The sun was fast declining, the shadows
lengthened, and the tops of the trees only were gilded
by his departing rays. I was by no means at my ease,
A profound silence prevailed, broken only by an deed*
sional breath of air moving the foliage, which seem.
ed to 1.% hisper good night. I profited by the friendly
warning and increased my pace, and in a little time,
to my great relief, I emerged from the labyrinth inte
which my musings had thrown me, and a splendid
valley burst upon my view, smiling in verdure, and
covered with grazing flocks. I soon found myself at
the side of a shepherd. He was about the middle sta.
cure, and stricken in years. He was somewhat sur
prised at my appearance. A boy was in the ant of
presenting to him a basket filled with nuts and wild
fruits. After the first salutation, he told me he was
' going homeward with his flock to a neighboring vil
lage, adding that it was not yet too late to saunter a
while and enjoy the lovely evening. We had reached
the middle of the valley, where stood a solitary mai
aged oak near the bed of a dried up mountain stream,
and around its base piles of fagots served us fir a
resting place. He invited me kindly to seat myself
whilst the boy collected the patient flock. There was
a manner about him that struck me, I knew not why,
as indicating my4tery; and as he leaned thoughtfully
ni.rainst the old oak, I was surveying, delighted, th 6
magnificent panorama around us. The bright per.
phyry of the crags which bounded one side of the cal ,
ley, sparkled in its blushing hues—heightened greatly
by the ebliqae rays of the setting san—whilst the
dark green of the forest, forming the opposite hmit,
presented a picture of contrasted beauty indescribable.
Whilst my eyes were revelling in these splendors, st
hill prominently presented itself out of all keeping
with its immediate neighbors ; unlike them, covered
with the gorgeous gifts of abundant nature, its &ea
was abrupt and broken; it was covered wi h crumb.
ling fragments of rock and rill bid; it was C31(1 and,
f .rbidding, and d , wn to its base was a deep furrow,
made by so me nnuLtain torrent, which extended to
and passed the spot where we were seated. it aria
at this time perfectly dry, and the eye was thus de
prived of a cascade that would have left nothing want
ing to perfect the picture. On the top of this 4.1 stood
an old stone building , . Its wails were lofty, rte nor
