From the New-York American. JtTnsing» b y Flaccnummin town, T H E MONOMANIA OF MONEY-MAKING.— A Satire. “ Bit with the rage canine of dying rich— Guilt’s blunder and the loudest laugh of hell!”—Young, My gentle muse! resume the golden strain- IIovv fares the youthful follower of gain Now touched with Nature's, now with Gotham’s text, The young gold-huntor staggers quite perplext— His brain, the last-— his heart, the first imprest, 1'or Nature ever wins the youthful breast. Yes ! for a while, his spirit, yot unstained, Clasps the pure law, in early prime o rdained: “ I’ll toil, •' tie cries, \ j'et take my brother’s part— “ I cannot wholly shut Inm from my heart— walk tho line that rigid honor draws, “ Nor deem al latest, that wrongs no human laws, “ Such be my course, ’till plenty crowns my task— \ For oh ! a competence is all 1 a k ; “ Then will I turn to nobler use my days, “ And seek man’s blessing,and my Maker’s praise.” Vain vow ! and fatal to the trusting soul! Ah ! few can taste tho intoxicating bowl [draught, O f gain, unharmed, but, maddened with »he Thirst ever, while a drop remains unquaff’d. Behold 1 he plunges in the stream—he strives— From year, to year, he toils—he weds, he thrives— But lias he time for wife, or children 1 —None ; He loves them well, but— bus'ness must be done. Still, still, though thrifiy, gain absorbs him quite— Haggard, and worn, he drags him home at night, An grants them but the refuse o f his powers, Whose tender minds require his choicest hours. He gives theinjboe!—what more has he to do ?— Great God 1 is this his only duty ? No— Their lives sustain'd, need they no further good ? Require not minds, as well as bodies, food ? Arrived at. wealth, by his untiring zeal, Despairing Nature makes her last appeal— “ Bewargl’’ she cries, “ ’tis now thou must restrain “ This rage—this gnaw ing appetite for gain : “ Who crams his gluttonous heart with hurtful things, “ Must tako the pangs which surfeit ever brings— “ In all pursuits of pleasure, toil or ease, “ ’Tis moderation gives the boon of peace. “ VVho lakes too much, from out the mass, away, “ R o b s,— ‘ and the penalty o f cri tne must p a y ; “ Remorse, contempt, and ever-haunting tears “ Shall dog bis quaking soul, in after years ; “ When dead, his offspring shall in riot fall, “ Scattering his ill-got spoil, a curse to all— “ O l i ! now, before it is too late, retire! “ Thou’st all thyself cr children can require: “ In prudence spend—let further growth alone— “ More would but blast their welfare.and thine own: “ Adorn thy wealth, and be the poor mart’s friend— “ Thou hast the means of life—now seek the end; “ — Yet, be a man—yet keep the laws I’ve named, “ Nor make thy conscience and thy God ashamed.” In vatu 1 in vain !—tlitv madness is too strong— “ Dru/ik with success, he harries still along, And still with envy is he stung, —for, see, He has a neighbor richer stiii than he ! Others heap wealth, and is h? worse than they? Thus each goads other, on his course of prey. T h e y call him busy—busy? aye, with crime; Oh ! life misspent—oh 1 foulest waste of t im e ! No time has he his grov’ling mind to store With hist’ry’s truths, or philosophic lore: No charms for him has Nature's blooming earth: Ho asks but only this—“ what are they worth?\ Art. science, wisdom, are no match for gain ; And even Religion bids him pause, in vain. Oh ! what are riche , bought at such a price 1— Say I are they worth such vital sacrifice? For me, wiio rarely mix AVlth Mammon’s host, I would not purchase, i f such be the c o s t ; If I must toil, with more than I can use — If what God gave, I must to man refuse — If I must s lim my child in all save food, And swindle e ven his fortune, for his g o o d , Nor let him raise (’till mine is his head, Like the starved worm that feeds but on the dead — And watch my neighbor with suspicious art, And know no road, save int'rest, to his heart — Wilh mind untaught, which does ail arts refuse, Save but to heap the goods I must n o t use — Without one hope, that is not born o f pence— Without one throb of generous confidence Be such Gain’s ivages, I would scorn lo earn — Be such her lesson, let me nevs? learn ! Come want—come pover'.y, with all its woe, Before my heart be taught to stoop so loio — Leave but my friend, keep but mine honor pure, And there's no loss I d rather not endure 1— B u t should fate doom me to to tho quest o f wealth. Kind Heaven! Oh keep my tempted soul in health! And should’st thou bless my toii with plenteous store, Keep back the madness that would seek for more !— Should still that hell-itch seize ine, slop my breath! Cheek the foul curse ev’n with the dart o f Death! For time where shame, on such vjje purpose bent— Better life lost, than life ignobly spent — Yes! let corruption’s worms m y fram e entwine, Before such rottenness of soul be mine ! F r o m t h e P o r t l a n d A d v e r t i s e r . LETTERS FROM Mr. BROOKS. NUMBER XLIX. Chxmouki, Sept.-9lh, 1835. Bitten, as I have said before, by the m o u n t a i n m a d n e s s o f m y E n g l i s h com p a n ion, I resolved w i t h h i m to ascend to th e j a r d i n , as i t is ca l led, and perhaps I w a s struck w i t h the f a n c y o f seeing w h a t would answ e r to thel nam e o f the garden, amid A lpine glaciers, where A l p i n e cliffs shoot up like needles, and hem in one little solitary green, as th e y say, high up in heaven. Our guides w h o m w e consulted as t o the condition o f t h e glaciers, positively refused to conduct us n o w and civilly told us -that even the cham o is w e r e n o t silly enough to venture over them i n their then condition, as a lately fallen snofv had hidden t h e chasm , a false s t e p on w h ich would plunge the foot o f an adventurer i n t o an i c y abyss, as deep, per haps, as the m o u n t a in itself. T h i s inform a tion was quite a s a n a t ive for ray ow n m a d n e s s but not s o for m y E n g l i s h friend, for t h e Ja r d in seem e d to h a n g heavy on his heart all the day. T h e Jardin, out o f the question, h o w e v e r , w e resolved to ascend M o n t a n v e r t in order to sea the M e r de g lace, the fam o u s fro z e n sea, so w e ll nam e d , for it looks as i f the billows o f the ocean had been fixed by ice in t h e v e r y m o m e n t o f the greatest storm. There w’as a m i s t w h e n w e began the ascent w it h a guide, and a pole that he gave us pointed w it h iron, so as to f i x ourselves more firmly upon the_rocka- and the ice, as a m i s s t e p on such m o u n t a i n s as t h e s e can never be a very agreeable m istake. T h e m i s t soon increased l o a rain; the higher w e ascended, the thicker was the rain. S o o n we w e r e i n th e reg i o n o f s n o w , and th e w h i t e snow - f lakes cam e dow n as they often do in N e w - E n g l a n d in M a r c h a n d i n April. B u t by the tim e w e were on the top o f M o n t a n v e r t, overlooking the frozen, sea, w e were in the m idst o f the fiercest w i n t e r .— T h e w ind was how l i n g piteously. T h e storm i n . t r u t h was raging, and the sn o w flakes ran wildly, as it frightened by the w ind— over cliff a n d glacier, rushing t o g e t h e r as i f for defence,—in such heaps as w e often see upon the plain. U p o n the sum m i t of the m o u n t a in an old bachelor keeps a public house, with wine, cheese, bread and delicious honey to s e ll— s u c h honey too as V irgil’s bees never made upon Italian plains, — e x tol them as he m a y . M y India rubber dress, my best friend n o w , thoroughly protec ted me from the storm, but the perspiration fretted out b y t h e labor o f so steep and long an ascent, was cooled off before t h e bachelor’s fire o f l it t le mountain tw i g s , and w a s t e m p e r ed by his excellent w ine. Y e g o d t —R o m a n gods l mean, so do not c a ll m e im p ious— where are not the English! H e r e w a s a room full o f them ! A noble looking m a n , the finest figure I think 1 e v e r saw , w h o spoke Italian with an Italian w h o happened to be there, 1 i n s t a n t l y set down as an Italian prince, som e great de- s c e n d e n t o f s o me]noble R o m a n ; — b ut he, even he, was but a courier o f an E n g l i s h fam ily ! E n g l i s h — m e n , w o m e n and c h ildren were here I T h e w o m e n had been carried np by the stout S w i s s In a chaise— a p o r teur as it is called,— T h e m e n had chiefly ridden up a s ^ a r as t h e y could, on the sure-footed mules. I met foux Virginians there, who recorded them s e lves a s from Virginia, the geography o f which place thu readers o f t h e M o u n t a i n Album (A m e r i c a n s except, J will k n o w as m u c h of, as t h e unknow n islands in t h e moon.

T h i s Album contained a cu rious m e d ley o f things, and often the varying remarks of t h e travellers were in a s t r a n g e j u x - ta position;—as, for e x a mple, one exclaims, probably exhausted in the ascent, lA bottle, o f brandy was o f excellent service, ’ — w h ile a n o t h e r adds undoubtedly w i t h e x a lted feelings i n s p i r ed by t h e sublimity o f the view, ‘ Marvellous are thy works, O God! ’ W a r m e d and dried by t h e m o u n t a i n fire in the bachelor’s l ittle refuge on M o n t a n v e r t , i n spired by his bread a n d honey, but m o re b y his wine, I began the descent o f M o n t a n v e r t , to cross t h e Mer de glace, w h i c h is eight leagues in l e n g t h and one i n breadth. T h e view from the top o f t h e m o u n t a i n w a s but a poor one for m y weak eyes a t such a distance, and n glass aided m e but l i tt l e i n t h e t h i c k a leets a n d snow t h a t come roaring down the m o u n t a i n gorge. H o w rejoiced 1 a m th a t I did n o t l e t the distant view co n t e n t me, as a l m o s t all t h e travellers do 1 T h e s u d d e n e levation o f s p i r i t s aw a k e n e d by the awful sublim ity o f such a spectacle, was a new sensation, such as I had never know n before. T h e pyram id rocks, t h e obelisks o f granite— n eedles th e y are called, were high in c louds above me, w h ich t h e misty view I had of them so magnified in h ieglit, t h a t it cost no fancy to m a k e them the very props o f h eaven. 1 raced over the s e a green billows driving my m o u n t a i n staff far i n t o the ice,— now leaping t h e narrow but deep, ay, alm o s t fathom less c a v e r n s ,— a n o n clim b ing up on my hands a n d knees to t h e very t o p s of t h e waves, an ascent of from t w e n t y t o forty feet, where, far above and far below, I could see the stiff ened ocean i n t h e very attitu d e as i t were, o f leaping still higher and higher. Im a g i n e N i agara arrested in its fall.

T h i n k o f s u c h a world o f w a ters t h u s piled up for leagues, as the islands o f ice on New foundland shores, and you have an idea o f t h e uninterrupted s u b lim i t y o f the frozen sea, T r u e t h e t h u n d e r o f N i a g a r a is n o t there. T r u e t h e w a ters th a t form all this, are but t h e a c c u m u l a t e d trickling o f m o u n t a i n stream s . T r u e , all is still, save the r u s h i n g o f t h e winds. B u t you walk upon the waves. You f a n c y a n ocean is under y o u r feet. You s e e m to be a new m a n , w i t h d iviner powers t h a n you had before, and you indulge the reverie t h a t henceforthyoa can t r e a d t h e w a ters even as your home. T h e ocean s e e m ed t o be o f t h e skies. M o n t B l a a c is t h e sov ereign. T h e glittering pyram ids a r e h i s c o u r t. T h i s is his august realm. T h e clouds are but his ministers. T h e winds are in his halls.— H e sends t h e storm or rolls t h e a v a lanche, a n d the green vallies o f t h e e a r t h quake a n d tremble as when he is speaking. Sublim i t y here has unbounded empire. T h e s o u l is u plifted, fh e eye is brighter. T h e heart beats w i t h a livelier pulsation. Indeed it is t h e w o r t h i e s t s p e c ta cle I have as y e t seen in all E u r o p e , —and here m u s t end m y pauvre description o f t h e glories of t h e Mer de Glace, as t h e F r e n c h call this frozen sea. A guide accompanied us in all t h i s j o u r n e y . T h e y are very unnecessary expenses, but i t is the fashion to t a k e them , and even to lone travellers who have n o t h i n g to do w i t h fashion, -do n o t like to om it paying this r e a p e d . B u t upon t h e Ker de Glace itself, th e y are great nuisances, and even there t h e y are quite un- necessarry in pointing o u t t h e chasms, i f one will only t a k e t h e trouble t o 6ee them for h i m self. Descending therefore, I bid adieu to m y guide, and clambered down to see the aoopfee o f t h e r i v e r A rveyrtm , w h ich issues ffom a c iir- * ern o f ice a t t h e foot o f t h e glaeitop o f wWfeh 1 have been speaking,— a cevern which has sometimes a hundred French feet o f e levation, but which varies i n form and grandeur, a c cording as t h e seasons s h a p e i t . O u t o f this caveron t h e lively little r i v e r A r v e y r o n is ev er a leaping. You can hear i t rum b ling under the glacier, and the fresher sound when it sees th e l i g h t , y o u fancy i s t h e . s o u n d . o f j o y o f the prisoner breaking his chains o f ice, and feeling t h e su n o f the valley. Y o u w o n d e r that only such a little river cop e s from such a m ig h ty g lacier, an d y o u reflec t fo r a lo n g while, before you can convince yourself, that in years and years, evep a r i v u l e t m a y have a breadth as ample as the St, Lawrence, as ice piles i t s e l f u p o n ice, and as every stream free zes and swells t h e stream s th a t come before. A curious spectacle this cavern indeed is. All around the sight is wild and magical. O f t e n you hear the icy avalanche come rolling down, and the echo o f its fall from hill an d v-alf.— You see the wreck the torrent has wrought at times. H e r e , are huge masses o f granite pre cipitated upon the ice from t h e m o u n t a i n top. T h e granite r o u g h and t o u g h as i t is, has b een ground to pow d e r in t h e conflict. T h e glacier itself is r e s t i n g upon the green valley. T h e powdered granite p a r ti a ll y shields i t s b ase from its greatest enem y , t h e rays o f t h e noon-day sun, but t h e cold from above s o o n s u p p lies t h e loss created by t h e s u n below. T h e r e is a l i t tle hill upon t h e plain w h i c h makes a feeble barrier against t h e avalanche, and t h e glacier, and t h e r e rock is piled upon rock, and ice is scattered in horrid desolation. F o r au g h t I can see C’ham o u n i here is a safe place enough, to live in, but t h e r e is so m u c h o f t h e world a- bove the earth, th a t I should tremble w ith a hom e in such a pent-up valley, w i t h such te r rible neighbors on my evCry side. T h e early evening found all the traveller* in their H o tels, each n a r r a t i n g a t the com m o n dinner table the adventures of the day. A blazing fire dried t h e soaking garm e n t s o f t h e drenched travellers. Such as had garm e n t s for a change made t h e change, and we w h o had not, w a r m e d ourselves in t h e fire-side c o r ner. A funny assemblage i s sucb&s t h i s , in a low valley,— a n assemblage from all the na- « tions—and i f I had room, I m i g h t give you a. picture of tbfer m o tley groupk, w ith the m o t l e y tongues t h e y spoke. B u t adieu for t h e pres ent. 1 am now, henceforward t h e m a n o f t h e mountains. ' ______ Character .— A m o n g t h e h a p p i e s t an d p r o u d est pessessions of a man is his character—it is a w e a l t h — i t is a r a n k of itself. I t usually p r o cures him t h e honors, and rarely the jealous ies o f f a m e . L i k e m o s t t r e a s u r e s t h a t are a t tained less by circum s t a n c e s th a n ourselves, character i s a more felicitous r e p u t a t i o n th a n glory. T h e wise man, therefore, despise* n o t the opinion o fth e world—he e s tim a tes i t a t i t s full value—he does n o t r u s h , from vanity a- lone, a g a i n s t the received sentim e n t * t>f oth- ers—he does n o t hazard his costly jew e l w i t h u n w o r t h y com b a t a n ts, and for a p e t t y stake. He respects t h e legislation o f d e c o rum. I f he be benevolent as well as wise, he will remem ber t h a t character affords him a thousand util ities—th a t i t enables him t h e b e t t e r t o forgive the erring, and to shelter the assailed. B u t th a t character is built on a false and hollow basis, which is formed n o t from t h e dictates o f our ow n breast, b u t solely from th e fear of censure. W h a t is the essence and t h e life o f character? Principle, ingenuity, indepen dence 1 ______________ .
