VERMONT GAZETTE. Moctrn. GREECE-4 FRAGMENT. "Mid the green isles of Hellas the clarion is sounding, From her sky-mantled mountains the strain is robounding; O'er her wave-girdled shores the wild warnotes are stealing, And rekindling the glow of that patriot feeling, Which has slumbered in gloom, through the long lapse of ages, In the home of the Muses--the bright land of Sages! Long, long, injured land, have thy ruthless assaulters Insultingly trampled on Liberty's altars! Too long has the Moslem polluted fountains- Too long have been heard 'mid the shades of thy mountains, The fiend shout of Mussulmen blasphemy ringing, And the Muezzin the loud call of Alla Ha" singing, When down in the west the day god is descending, And twilight's deep shadows with his last beams are blending But joy to the world that the spell is now over; That the sons of the Greeks the bold spirit recover, Which long in the death-trance of bondage has slumbered, While the dark rolling years of Oppression were number'd With the fire of past ages their bosoms are burning, To scenes of past glory Remembrance is turning- The fame of their Sires on their memory is rushingThe blood.of their Sires on their forehead is flushing And soon shall the creseent and turban be burl'd Into dust, and fair Liberty's banner unfurl'd! MOUNTAIN BARD. THE VILLAGER'S DAUGHTER.

The villager's daughter was fair As the rose that at sun-rise is flowering; When the wood music floats on the air, And the radiance that shone in her And the smoke of the hamlet is towering; Was bright as the star of the gloaming, When the clouds are at rest in the sky, And the hind to his cottage is roaming. The villager's daughter was lov'd By the pride of the yonkers around her: And sweet were the joys that she proved In the bower where at evening he found her; But they press'd him away to the sea, Her tears and her agony scorning; And she pin'd like a bloom on the tree, And died in the flower of her morning. UANXETH. LONDON -Bow-Street. Oyster law student was brought up from St.

Clement's watchhouse, to which place he had been consigned between 11 and 12 o'clock on the preceding night, at the suit of an ancient oyster woman, of that parish. The venerable fish mongress deposed that the law student was in the practice of occasionally taking oysters at her shop; and in general he conducted himself like a very nice sort of a gentleman --SO much so, that she had more pleasure in opening oysters for him, than for any other gentleman of her acquaintance-but on this unfortunate night, he came in very tipsy, and devoured so many oysters that she was quite alarmed at him. She opened, and opened, and opened, till her hands and arms ached, ready to drop off, and still he kept craving for more, and he would have them, in spite of her remonstrating that he would certainly burst himself. At last he took it into his head to go out, to look at the weather, and she took the opportunity of locking him out; thinking he would be satisfied with what he had, and would go quietly home; but instead of this, he commenced an assault and battery on her door, and before she could unlock it, he had not only forced it off' the hinges, but had shivered one of the pannels to pieces with his foot. She was now more alarmed than ever, and fearing he might even attempt to serve her as he had served the oysters, she "shreeked for the watch," and he was taken to the round house.

The law student (who appeared to be still under the influence of the Tuscan grape) heard all this with a quiet, comfortable simper; and then, with a -lounging, sort of bow to the lady, he said in a voice that seemed to make its way with difficultythrough a mass of oysters, Suppose, Mrs. Jinkins, I reinstate your door -will you not be satisfied Sir," interrupted the magistrate, you must satisfy me as well as Mrs. Jinkins; you have broken the publick peace-let me know what you have to say to that PM Your worship," replied the law student, with an oyster-oppressed sigh, your worship, I have nothing to say, save and except that I was ratherDrunk, you mean to say," observed his worship. 66 Your worship, I am sorry to say, conjectures rightly replied the law student with another very graceful bow, and another sigh from the very bottom of his oyster-bed. Then.

sir," rejoined the magistrate, pay the woman for the damage you ha ve done her door--pay one shilling for your discharge fee--and five shillings for being and then go drunk; about our business, and keep yourself sober in 1 Suture." The law student bowed again, and beckoned to 9 young man at the farther end of the office, who instantly stepped forward and paid the money and then the law student, making two distinct bows, one to the magistrate, and the other to his oyster woman, slid genteelly out of the office. FOR THE LADIES. How to choose a good Husband.When you see a young man of modest, respectful, retiring manners, not given to pride to vanity or flattery, he will make a good husband, for he will be the same kind man" towards his wife after marriage that he has been before it. When you see a young man of frugal and industrious habits, no fortune hunter," but who would take a wife for the value of herself, and not for the value of her wealth, that man will make a good husband, for his affection will not decrease, neither will he bring himself or his posterity to poverty or want. When you see a young man, whose manners are of the boisterous and dis gusting kind, with "brass" enough to carry him any where, and vanity e- nough to make him think every one inferior to himself, don't marry him girls he will not make a good husband.

When you see a young man, who is using his best endeavors to raise him. self from obscurity, to credit, character and affluence, by his own merits, marry him he will make a good husband, and one worth having. When you see a young man depending solely for his reputation and standling in society upon the wealth of his rich father or other relations, don't marry him for goodness sake, he will make a poor husband. When you see a young man, one half employed in adorning his person, or riding thro' the streets in gigs, who leaves his debts unpaid, although frequently demanded; never do you marry him for he will in every respect make a bad husband. When you see a young man who never engages in any affrays or quarrels by day, nor follies by night, and whose dark black.

deeds are not of so mean a character as to make him wish to conceal his name; who does not keep low company, nor break the Sabbath, nor use profane language, whose face is seen regularly at church, were he ought to be, he will certainly make a good husband. Never make money an object of marriage, for if you do, depend upon it as a balance to the good, you will get a poor husband. When you see a young man who is attentive and kind to his sisters, or aged mother; who is not ashamed to be seen in the streets with the Woman who gave him birth and nursed him, supporting her weak and tottering frame upon his arm, who will attend to all her little wants with filial love, affection and tenderness, take him girls, who can get him, no matter what his circumstances in life, he is truly worth the winning and having, and will in certainty make a good hosband. Lastly--always examine into the, character, conduct and motives, and when you find these good in a young man, then may you be sure he will make a good husband. Distant views of length while the sun was two hours high, my long and intensely interesting suspense was relieved.

The view of the city burst upon me asa moment; and the truly graphic language of the psalmist was verified, in a degree of which I could have formed no previous -Continually the sions were bursting from my lips" Beautiful for situation the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion Among the vast assemblage of domes which adorn the roofs of the convents, churches and houses, and give to this folorn city an air even of magnificence, none seemed more splendid than that which has usurped the place of Solomon's Temple. Not having my companion with me, I surveyed all in silence and rapture; and the elegant proportions, the glittering gilded crecent, and the beautiful green blue colour of the Mosque of Omar, were peculiarly attractive. A more soothing part of the scenery was the lovely slope of the Mount of Olives on the left. As we drew nearer and nearer to the city of the Great more and more manifest were the proofs of the displeasure of that Great King resting upon His City. Like many other cities of the east, the distant view of Jerusalem is inexpressibly beautiful but the distant view is all.

"On entering at the Damascus gate, meanness, and filth, and misery, not exceeded, if equalled by any thing which I had before seen, soon told the tale of degradation. How is the fine gold become dim Helen. FALLING UPWARDS, On Thursday last (says the ford Chronicle,) as a gardener by the name of Clarkson, nearly 70 years of age, was gathering walnuts at ster-hill, in this county, he fell a considerable height, and was so dreadfully injured as to survive the accident but few minutes. Pleasant Anecdote of Dr. Franklin.

66 Friend Franklin," said Myers Fisher, the celebrated Quaker lawyer of Philadelphia, one day to the Dr. thee knows most every thing: can the tell me how I am to preserve my small beer in the back yard? my neighbors are often tapping it of nights." 66 Put a barrel of old Maderia by the side of it," replied the Doctor- let them but get a taste of the Maderia, and I'll engage they will never trouble the small beer any more. This same great Philosopher used to say" that if parents would give their sons an early taste for the Maderia of Learning, they would hardly ever take to the detestable small beer of vice." An Irishman one day found a light guinea- he was obliged to sell for eighteen shillings. Next day he saw another guinea lying in the street. No no," says he, "I'll have nothing to do with you I lost three shilings by your brother yesterday." Mr.

P. a storekeeper, was induced to give credit to a person, who, it was rumoured, was about to 66 clear out," on his declaring that he would never leave the place without letting him know. A few weeks afterwards Mr. P. was waited on by his debtor, and thus accosted: Good morning Mr.

P.I am going." Walk in sir-walk in, and we will look into your account." Thank you, sir, thank you--but I am in a great hurry; and as I consider you a very honest man, I will leave you to settle the account yourself.3 years ago, who one had of the burghers of Albany been sitting under a tree for hours, viewing with a calm melancholy air the long train of yankee wagons, freighted as usual, as they rolled successively up capitol hill. on their way 66 to the Genesees," at length found his ample stock of patience completely exhausted. He suddenly started up, knocked the ashes out of his pipe with so much violence as to break the stem, rushed into the middle of the street, and as the last wagon of the caravan approached, hailed the teamster as he carelessly whis tled along by the side of his oxen, wife, and children, as Hey you Meister yankee dere!

FOR COUGHS AND CONSUMPTIONS. ETHE high reputation that Anderson's have gained Cough Drops and Pectoral Powders for Coughs and other affections of the breast and lungs tending to consumption, renders it unnecessary to say much in recommending the public, as no stronger proof of them to their possessing uncommon virtues could be tiban will be tound by reading the cergiven tificates accompanying each bottle, given by those of thee first respectability, who have used of long standing; and some of them in cas.es them where their physicians had given them np as past, recovery, have been entirely restored use of this medicine.

The fact that they have no been in use six years, and that the demand the present season has been much greater than a't any former period is also a strong argument in their favor. Thousands have shortened their days by neglecting when first attacked, which have soon terminated in seated consumption, and Coughs a proved fatal. Scarcely a case Colds, Coughs, Pain in the side, difficulty of breathing, want of sleep arising from debility, or even consumptions, but may be relieved by a dollar timely bot use of this Healing Balsam. sch tle of this medicine contains about 40 doses, which proves them to be a medicine, considering their virtues.

MELLEN Sir--If you think the for lowing statement of my case worthy pubiishing, you are at liberty so to do. 1, subscriber, do hereby certity, that about the midof August, 1821, I was seized with a violent pain in my breast which terminated in eight or ten days in an ulcer or abcess, which discharged a vast quantity of matter, attended with a violent Cough and spitting blood, this continued until some time in November fol. lowing. In the interim new ulcers gathered and dicharged; whichreduced me very fast, I made application to physicians but to no effect by the above mentioned time, November, I was reduced to the last stage of earthly existence, when I heard of Anderson's Cough Drops," I accordingly purchased and made use of them, which soon gave me relief, and after taking them regularly about three months to the astonishment of all my neighbours, I gained my health and soundness therefore feel in duty boud to say that I believe siad Drops to be the est medicine that was ever introduced into the world for the lungss JOSHUA BLODGET. Burtnville, Pruince of Lower Cunada, Oct.

1823. This is to certify that the subscriber was brought very low by spitting blood, attended with a cough and catarrh, and that nothing afforped me real relief until I commenced taking Anderson's Cough Drops, the use of which were the means in the hand of God of restoring me again to a comfortable state of health. And I do further certify that the wife of Mr. Nathan Huntingdon, living in the same place, was afflicted with a very bad cough for a number of years, and that in 1823 she was redu. ced so low that it was thought she must soon be in her grave, as she was scarcely able to walk from her bed to the fire, when she commenced taking Anderson's Cough Drops, the use of which, in a short time, so far restored her, that she was soon able to do a good day's work.

I can cheerfully recommend this medicine to the public. PHILO JUDSON, Pastor of the Church in Ashford, (Conn.) Athlord, Sept. 25, 1824. For sale, wholesale and retail, by E. BREWSTER CO.

Elisha D. Anderson, of Putney, Vermont. "I have examined The Selection of Easy Lessons in Reading. for the use of younger classes in Schools, by Joshua Leavitt. Esq.

which I think has been made with great judgment and taste, and is better adapted to the use for which it is designed, than any other book with which I am acquainted. A work of' this kind has been greatly needed in our schools." From Asa Keyes, Esq. of Putney. A school book of this description has been much wanted. It is so admirably calculated to form, in the young, as well as older classes, an easy and graceful style reading, it will be a useful school book, and generally introduced into our schocls." From Professor Eastabrook, of Amherst Collegiate Institution, September 10, 1823.

"I have long been of opinion, that the introduction of an intermediate book between the spelling book and the other reading books of our schools, composed of Lessons in a familiar and interesting style, adapted to the capacity of children, would be attended with the happiest results. The Easy Lessons in Reading, for the use of the younger classes in Common Schools, by Joshua Leavitt, Esq, is, in my opinion, the intermediate book which is needed; and should it be generally introduced into oue common schools, would materially subserve the interests of education."
