SELECTED STANZAS. I love the man who well can bear Misfortune's angry frown ; I love the heart that spurns despair, Though all his friends have ilown. I love the soul, so nobly proud, That misery cannot blight ; The soul that braves the cheering crowd And rfernly claims its right I love that fortitude refund, Which sorrow cannot shake ; I love that strength of soul and mind No earthly power can break. J love the man, who scorns to bend Beneath affliction's blast ; Who trusts in an ALvghbj friend, To sooth his woes at last. ANECDOTE. LA Vv SONG.

The following circumstance is said to !iave occurred in a county court in the stale ot Pennsylvania : A gentleman of the bar of considerable humor, bavin"occasion to cite the law, contained in the ensuing verses, after dinner, when all the bar and the judges were in a tnerrv mood, instead of reading resolved to sini them, which he dit, to a ludicrous tune. The verses are as follows, and are to be touna in Burrows settlement cases: " A woman having settlement, Married a man with none ; The question was, he being dead, If that she had was gone i "Quoth Sir John Pratt, her settlement Susjtaiucd d.ith remain, Living the husband, but since dead, It doth revive again. " . Chorus of Judges Iiiving the husband, but since dead, It doth rcrive again. The humor of the scene was irresisti ble. Before the witty attorney had li; ished, the court, the jury, and the bye f&?iders all joined in the song, and the cborus was repeated with great glee. He gamed his cause. Extravagance in Mourning Drean. TVhcn grief is feignM, how ill such forms appear, .And oh! how useless, when the grief s sincere. THE MUSES. In the days of antique chivalry, no on of Apollo presumed to become a C-andUate for literary fame without previously invoking the aid ami protection of these distinguished patronesses o! History, Poesv, and Son. Thev severali presided overcome art of science; and an epigram of Callimachus explain? their attributes in as many lines. Calliope the deeds of Heroes sin: Great Clio sweeps to History the string. JEiiterpe teaches Mimes their silent show; Melpomene presides o'er scenes ot Woe. 1'erpischore the Flute's soft power displays, And Erato gives hymns the Gods to praise 2olrjmnia''s skill inspires melodious strains ; UranLi wise the Starry course explains, And t; iy Thalia's Glass points out where Follv reigns. An Irishman h ivmg a looking glass n his hand, shut his eyes and placed it before him ; another asking him why he did s ? Upon my shoul says Teague, 4 It is to see how I look when I'm asleep." PEOPLE ACTING ALIKE. A gentleman in Connecticut, of great talents and respectable connections, but vho led a graceless, dioipated life, was travelling with a small party, the individuals of which were known to each oth- , cr. Among them -was a very resnectaLle inatr -n who in the course of conver,.i'i u, b ';an on the life he led. She i; mer ted that a man of his abilities, of such a respectable family, should pur, 6ue sucl a course. Her zeal nude her verv eh quent, and the object of it befan to wish to get rid of the discussion, le observed to her, that she was very Severe ; that people were very much the same; tliat there was less dilference than ghe .mnosed. O ! 110, she said ; there fti r ibodv so had as he. In a deprecatinrtone ami manner, he replied, that tnost people would act alike, when put in the same situation ; that his conduct and - hs.H would be the same, if placed in simdar circumstances. She retorted, that was impossible; that they could txpv, r net alike in any case : he thought he ce.ild name cue ; she defied him sunn e then, madam, that in travelling joj come to an inn, where all the beds vere f ull except two, ar?d in one of the wu- a man, and in the other a woman, win s would vou take ?
