HYMN TO THE CREATORBY LORD BROUGUOI

"There is a God," all nature cries,A thousand tongues proclaim

His arm almighty, mind all wise,And bid each oice in chorus rise

To magnify Ins name

Thy name, great nature's Siro divine,Assiduous we adore,

Rejecting godheads at whose shnncBenighted nations, blood and wine,

In vain libations pour

Yon countless worlds, in boundless spaco,Myriads of miles each hour

Their mighty orbs as curious traceAs the blue circlet Btuds the face

Of that enamell'd slower.

But thou too mad'st that flow'ret gayTo glitter in the dawn;

The hand that sired the lamp of dayAnd blazing comets launch'd away,

Painted the velvet lawn.

As falls the sparrow to the ground,Obedient to thy will,"

By the same law those globes wheel roundEach drawing each, but all still soundIn one eternal system bound,

One order to fulfil.

THE MASK AT VENICE.BY DONALD m'lEOD.

It was a carnival in Venice, and gaiety was atits height. The Doge was giving his last hallat the close of the merry season, and the beautyand nobility of the "island throned city" weregathered in his princely halls. The maskedcrowd thronging the splendid apartments, presented a. singular appearance to the casual spectator. Look beneath the gorgeous curtain ofyon golden stained windows, beems not yontall and powerful looking Turk ery much as ishe were endeavoring to wean from heacn theaffections of the sylph like nun at his side' Ormarkyort holy holy father, whispering spiritualcomfort into the ear of the stately duenna bend-

ing to his words And that harlequin dressedfortune teller, prophesying the destiny of thefull, voluptuous figure whose hand he holds.Why, he must be near sighted; or, perhaps hecannot see well through his imsk, for look' hobends lower and lower, and now his mask ispushed to one side for a moment, and his lippresses the snowy little hand that trembleswithin his own. Ah, ha! call you that palmistry,seignor?

Apart from the motley crowd, in the embra-sure of one of the windows, stood two maskers,both apparently females, the taller was evident-ly on the shady side of "sweet sixteen," is onemight judge from a rather large and wrinkledhand, which was exposed with an elegant care-lessness that would have gono far to win theheart of any antiquary. The perfectly erectDacK, ana tnc curoed-iik- e position ol the head,plainly marked the duenna.

The other, a shorter and slighter figure,wrapped in a plain domino, which served to con-ceal fas a dew drop conceals the blush of a rosc.1a full and rounded form, the general outlino ofwnicn was most exquisite, and beneath the robepeeped forth, 0, such a soot!

It could have trod upon a vio'et.Nor bruised the beauty of its perfumed petals.

And what lips must those have been whichgave birth to those mellow tones that murmur-ed from behind the mask!

Bendetta' dost thou know yon gallant in theblack doublet, leaning against the porphyrypillar' See how the dark plume of his hat isblended with those long jetty ringlets that clus-ter over his shoulder. Is he not of a noble pre-sence?

Holy mother, signora!'' replied Bendetta,"my eyes would need to be as young, and evensharper than thine, to pierce von mask, nor do Isee ought in the plain looking dress that mightmark a great nobility. Look to yon proud Bru-nell- i,

with all the diamonds of his house glitter-ing on his velvet trappings, looks he not bravel v?See, too Bletsed St Catharine!" cried she,interrupting her own eloquence, "one might aswell be talking to the ugly old statue of Sanniarco mere, it would give me as much attenlion, at least. Come, signora, it is time wewere departing, the ball will soon break up "

They lest the window; as tho younger figuregnueu aiong, ere sne vanished entirely, she castone look at the pillar, but it was unoccupied,and with a half sigh she followed the duenna.

The mask over, the palace of the Doge wasdeserted, and the lagoon thronged with gondo-las.

Italy showed as dark a sky as ever Greenlandboasted; Cynthia had taken this night to playHecate, and probably the stars were attendingher, for not one of "the angel lit lamps of even"shed its trembling radiance on the earth Thedark waves of the Adriatic rolled on with a deepgushing Bound, their course just shown by thesaint phosphorescent light of their foam crownedtops, and night wore a veil of intense darknessthat was oppressive to the heart. Tho Lagoonwas disturbed by tho ceaseless dash of oars, andthe cutting sound of the bows as they movedthrough the curling wave

Hark, the crash' a gondola has been crushedby another. A shriek rang through the stillnessof tho night, the clouds, as is pierced by itssound, suddenly severed above, and the moonlooked dimly down upon the deep dark watersA gondola was swimming amid a confused massof wreck. Upon its sido stood a tall manly form,"'" ""6"'- - pianii. quivered as ne sprang from itsside, and sunk into the dark flood, he rose again,and, bearing something, snam towards the bark,the saint light of heaven served to show, as hisuurucu, a young iair girl, pale, rigid, but exquisltely lovely; when nlaced nnnn tlm n,mn, .

side the gondola, the lamp showed the form andfeatures of the lady, and a long and slowingu"-- " oaiuiaiou wiin water, displayed the sym-metrical proportions of her form, while the small,Bnowy hand, and the face shadowed by longwild tresses of a dark hue, although, apparent-ly insensate, possessed that beautiful life withwhich a which a statue glows.

"Blessed St. Catharine," sputtered somebodyin the water, at the side of the boat, "will henot help me'" and our old acquaintance, Ben-dett-

was assisted on board, still firmly grasping the top of Iho cabin that forms the interiorof the Venetian boat Aster sully comprehend-ing that she was safe, she began to look about,and aster another invocation to St Catharineshe turned towards tho interior of the bark, sawthe lifeless forni of her lady, and sprung torelieve her

She was quickly restored, and soon, m her1father's palazzo, dreamed of the face of him whohad saved her, for he had knelt beside her whileresisting tho duenna, and as the life currentbegan to tinge the lip of the maiden, he stoopedjnd did something I would not tell what, forthe world, but it restored the bloom of that palecheek to a miracle.

About three or sour w eeks aster tho commence- -mem 01 our story, in the w indow of an old castlosat a beautiful girl; clustering tresses of the dyeof a rich, ripe chesnut, p irting simply over herZ ifi ' ' ln wavy Sllken curls over her

ommjucr, snauowing one ol those faces which weiuU,u see oui oi sunny Italy, rather oval inshape, with features cast in a beautiful, althoughnot a perfectly regular mould, glomng with

such an expression as Raphael must have dream-e- dof in imagining his Madonna. Fler cheekhad that delicate blush which the setting sungives to a snowy cloud, on her soft and perfumedlip, love might have pillowed his brow, andthought it his own birth rose. Bwt the brightestcharm of that glorious face was the eye dark,soft, and intensely bewitching, for her souibeamod from it. The purest spirit might haveB"gu ul"" uioso oros, as they melted into softrless or sparkled with joyous light, and worship-pe- d

them without sin The heart on which oneglance sell, bocame that moment her's, and with

that look w ould arise those dreams that makethe bosom all poetrv those hopes that glowwith a softness that passion only knows thosespells that could take

"The imprisoned soul,"And lap it in Elysium "

Behind her stood an old lady, whose witheredfaco, twisted into a most determined fault finding look, when joired to the prim, old maidishair of the whole body, plainly introduced Mrs.Bendetta , I don't know who.

"And his beautiful dark waving locks!" mur-mured the beauty.

"Is I saw correctly, signora," said the duenna,"they were like mine, of a golden color."

"For shame," cried the lady, "thine are red!and his were as dark as the very plumage of thoraen, and soft and silken, for they drooped up-on my neck when the scignor" and the maidenhesitated and blushed.

"Pressed his lips to thine," finished Bendetta."a bold undertaking, truly! to dare to kiss lasignora Virginia Contra alio. Blessed St. Cathanne! had he attempted to do the like with me.'added she, drawing up her prim form still moreprimly, and pursing up her mouth as is she wereeating a crab apple,

"What Would'st thou havo done?" asked herlady,

"Served him as I did my lord's servant on thenight of the eruption, when the peasantry wereall running to the villa, and I had gone down fora moment to speak to them, when tins Lui-- i"

"Hush!" interrupted the lady, as the chordsof a guitar were struck under tho window.bcarcely was the song finished when, assistedby the trellis work plared near the house, a form,in all probability that of the singer, sprang uponthe balcony, and soon, with his plumed bonnetdotted, knelt at the leet ot the lady.

His figure seemed perfectly symmetricallong tresses, "black as night," hung clusteringon his shoulder, and warm and very dark eyeslooked into those of the maiden; and, as hercheek sunused beneath his intense gaze, he ap-peared like the Persian, kneeling to worship thelast rosy blush of the setting sun.

He attempted to take her hand she arose andlooked about tho room for her attendant; but theduenna had vanished, and when the handsomeseignor murmured, "Lady! dear lady!" and look-ed so imploringly on her, and when she calledan unusual frown to her fair brow, and thenlooked down into his dark eyes, and felt thatfrown fading most rapidly away what couldshe do' Why, she did what any sensiblo maid-en would do in such a case, sho smiled and satdown again.

But scarcely had he again murmured "Lady!"when, with such a "hem!" as waiting maidsand duennas alone can give, Bendetta openedthe door, and, pushing aside tho hangings, ushered in an old gentleman, with a diamond top-ed snuff box in his lest hand, and a diamond-hilte-

unsheathed sword, in his right.The maiden and her lover started to their feet;

the old gentleman placed himself in a fencingattitude, and requested the youth to draw, helaid his hand upon his sword, but demanded amoment's parley, which request his adversarypolitely answered by shouting "one " Theyouth drew his sword in time to receie "two.''"Three," shouted he of the diamonds, and madea desperate lunge at his opponent, who caughttho thrust in his guard. Whip! went the swordto the ceiling, and the victor springing to thebalcony, was soon like the gay young knight ofthe song

"Aw ay, aw ay away."II Conte Contrevallo, for it was no less a per-

sonage than the father of our heroine, with arather heightened color helped himself first to apinch of snuff, then to his sw ord that lay on thefloor before him, and then, placing it under hisarm with a most significant "humph!" he turn-ed to gaze upon his daughter.

The lady stood with erect form, gazing withcurling lip and slashing eye on the duenna fortho soul of the woman was roused at the betray-al, and the beautiful Italian, with all the prideof her noble line, stood in tho proud halls of herlather, the very impersonation of beautiful scorn

The attendant cowered beneath the eye of theinsulted lady, and obeyed her haughty motion.as she waved her hand toward tho door. Scarcely had she departed, when the maiden, the fullidea coming at once upon her, that she, of theline that hadlgiven monarchs to Italy, tho representative of the pure, unalloyed blood of thenoDlest lamily ot her clime, was betrayed insuited by her slave than, giving way to thesofter feelings of a w oman, she sought a woman'sreiuge tears.

The father waited patiently until she had be-

come calm, and then demanded an explanationThe lady then described to her father (who

had already received it fiom the duenna, whowas not the best authority imaginable for anyuiiiig,; ino scene upon me lagoon, the crushingof the gondola, the sinking down into the deepquiet waters; the sensation she experienced asthey closed over her head, tho dreadful agony;tho whole pain of death which can be knownshort of actual dissolution, the call on heaven,and the feeling that all was over and then herlanguage became milder and less impassioned.as she spoke of her rescue from tho wave ofino gondola ot the form bending over her,

to bring her back to life and lightand of her happy dreams, when restored to con-sciousness and com eyed to her home, and thenshe told of the music and the song, and theseignor springing on the bajcony ; "and then youknow, my dear father," she added, putting herarms upon his shoulders, "and then, you know,you sought and were disarmed, and'' "Gotout!" interrupted her father, and departed muttering, "Diavola! the young nuppv ! how imne save my daughter, and proticr loo to her,and disarm mo which is worst of all ''

rhe road leading to the villa of the ConteLontravallo passed, about a mile from the dwelling, through a thick sorest much infested bybanditti Tho hot headed old Count had summoned all his retainers, to endeavor to routethem from the fastnesses of the wood, they hadnot proceeaea very deep into the lorest whenvolley of three or sour muskets was heard, andtne uounis troop, with the characteristic bra-vor- y

of Italian peasantry sled.The old noble would have scorned to sly from

a thousand banditti, and therefore drew hissword, and waited for the approach of five men,who advanced towards him; they evidently ex-pected an easy victory, and were, therefore,somewhat surprised, when the foremost receiveda thrust from the dehcato rapier of the Countwhich laid him quietly on the grass dead, thoremaining sour immediately set upon the oldman, who defended himself stoutly, but it wasgoing hard with him, when a voice behind ex-claimed, "Corpo di Baecho' sour upon one, andhe an old man1 cowards!" A pistol shot whichaccompanied this, sent the second bandit to ac-company his friend, and ayoung man, springingto the Count's side, cut down another, the re-maining two sled, and the old man turned tothank his deliverer

'Seignor, you have given me timely aidvurpo ui uio"- - enco he, as he stared at thehandsome j oulh by his side, "why, I think wehave met before, but it is not at all to my creditto remember the rencounter; you have shown6u ?'"

"But will the lady be quite willing?" askedthe cavalier. "There is no doubt of it,'' an.swered the father, "who could resist one whosings such songs, is he has, moreover, saved thelife of the listener. For that, too, I have tothank you, hut come along "

They reached the villa, and ere long the beautiful valley was gladdened by the nuptials of thosignora Virginia Contravallo and the youngPamphiU Borghese.

ENTIRELY VEGETABLE.

HPIIESE PILLS have long been knownand appreciated for their extraordinary and

immediate powers of restoring perfect health.to persons suffering under nearly every kind ofdisease to which the human irame is liable.

When taken according to the directions accompany ing them, they are highly beneficial mthe prevention and cure of Bilious Fevers, Fe-ver and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver complaints,Sick Head ache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy,Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles,Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heart-burn- , FurredTongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach andBowels, Incipient Diarrhoea, Flatulence, Habit-ual Costivencs", Loss of Appetite, Blotched orSallow Complexion, and in all cases of Torporof the Bowels, where a cathartic or aperient isneeded. They arc exceedingly mild in their op-

eration, producing neither nausea, griping nordebility

Perhaps no article of tho kind has ever beenoffered to the public, supported by testimonialsof a character so decisive, from sources as re-spectable, or that has giv en more universal satislaction

Hundreds and thousands bless the day theybecame acquainted with Pelei s' Vegetable Pills,which, in consequence of their extraordinarygoodness, have attained a popularity unprece-dented in the history of medicine.

Iho very circumstance alone, that Physiciansin every part of the Union, (but more especiallyin the Southern States, where they have longbeen in use) aro making free use of them intheir practices, speaks volumes in their praise.A dd to this, the fact, that all who use, invariablyrecommed them to their friends, and the testimony in their savor is almost irresistitblo. Asan anti bilious remedy, and to prevent costive-ncs- s,

they have no rival Ono twenty-fiv- e centbox will establish their character, and prove thatthere is truth even in an advertisement

More than threo millions of boxes of these ce-

lebrated Pills have been sold in the United States,since January, 1637.

lutary effect of these Pills, and the truth of theabove statements, the following LETTERSFROM MEDICAL GENTLEMEN, of the firstrespectability are most respectfully submitted.

CLAHi.sviLLE, Mecklenburg county, Va.Feb 7, 1837

Dear Sir I embrace this opportunity of ex-

pressing to you, my pleasure at the unrivalledsuccess of your Pills in this section of the coun-try. It is a general fault of those who vend pa-tent medicines, to say too much in their savor,but in regard to your Pills, I am firmly per-suaded that they deserve far moro praise thanyou seem inclined to give them. Six monthsago, they were scarcely known here, and yet,at present there is no other medicine that cancompare with them in popularity. In Dyspepsia,Sick Head ache, derangement of the Biliaryorgans and obstinate constipation of the bowels,I know of no aperient more prompt and effica-

cious, and I have had considerable experiencein all these complaints.

I would add that their mildness and certain yof action render them a safe and efficient purga-tive for weaker individuals, and that they maybe given at all times without apprehension ofany of those injurious consequences which sofrequently attend the application of calomel orblue pill. On the whole, I consider your Vege-table Pills an invaluable discovery.
