Far from this crowded busy scene, Far from a world of storm and strife; Where blighted hopes still intervene, Like clouds, to damp the sun of life; There like those placed streams that run. Where never oceans ebbs or flows, Our days should gently glide in oneOne peaceful scene of calm repose!

THE ARCADIAN QUEEN AN ALLEGORY. During the happy period of the golden a o, when the sons and daughters of Arcadia
-svere assembled to celebrate a rural festival,
it was determined to elect a queen, to preserve decorum and direct the rites of the feast. There was present a young nymph of uncommon beauty, who had been accustomed to associate with these children of nature, and for her was given the unanimous suffrage. But she could not be prevailed upon to ascend the throne until a venerable shepherd, who was called the priest of nature, assured them he had been taught, in a
dream, that this nymph was designed for their sovereign, and then the blushes that suffused her face,still increased her lovliness.
The name of this Arcadian queen was Mo
desty. She was believed to be the daugh
ter of Jupiter, and her mother, who was also
of celestial origin, was called Innocence. The air of native dignity, which she inherited from the former, was softened by the mild and unassuming graces derived from the latter. The sceptre of her power was a blush, and the throne of her dominion the
heart; she commanded with a glance, or persuaded with a smile, and was obeyed not
through tear, but love. Under her government the feast was conducted with the utmost propriety, for, although the mildness of her disposition would
not suffer her to inflict severe punishments on offenders, yet such was the respect in which she was held in those primitive times,
that he who disobeyed her laws was banish
ed from the enioyment ot society.
But it was not only during the continu
ance of the feast she exercised her happy in
fluence. At all times, and in all places, she
was seen mingling with these children of
simplicity, encouraging their innocent sports,
and deciding their controversies. 1 hough
sometimes seen in the company of the young
shepherds, she was more accustomed to as
sociate with the maidens of Arcadia; and it was remarked, that they never looked so lovely as when in the presence of their queen.
bhe seemed to lend an increased lustre to the tender expression of their eyes, and a bright
er bloom to the roses of their checks; their smiles were more captivating, and their gestures more graceful, so that instead of fearing they courted her society. But as there never has been a throne without its pretenders, nor a valuable coin without its counterfeit, even the just claims and transcendent charms of the Arcadian queen
did not preclude the pretensions of a rival,
whose name was Dilhdence. bhe bore some resemblance to Modesty, and was supposed by many to have been born of the same mother; but her entire want of dignity betray
ed that she was not the daughter of J upiter.J
Although she never ascended the throne, she
frequently displayed a blush, w hich was mistaken by some for the sceptre of Modesty: but it was used so often, and with so little
discretion, that she soon lost her authority, and excited more compassion than respect.
.Modesty was frequently attended by a handmaid called Perseverance, through whose
assistance she was enabled to overcome the
most arduous difficulties; while Diffidence was always accompanied by Timidity, whose hesitating steps and faltering voice impeded her progress and blasted her designs. The former was respected for her successful enterprises; the latter, commiserated for her unfortunate attempts. At this period there appeared among the Arcadians a youth called Genius. His dis
position was bold and aspiring, and his heart full of enthusiasm. Even in childhood he was often found clambering up the rocks, and plucking flowers on the side of Parnas
sus. Hp would lie for hours on the brink of
the mountain rivulet, watching the eagles as they wheeled in airy circles around the cloud-capt summit, and wishing for their pinions to bear him to regions that had never known the footsteps of man. lie saw, in every fleecy summer cloud that visited the lofty peak, the car of some celestial beauty, and through the sable curtains of the tempest, discerned the awful form of Mai's and Jupiter.
He was admired and caressed by all who saw him, for there was something of celestial dignity in his countenance that charmed the spectator, and gave the promise of future greatness. But he soon grew tired of their attentions, and would often evince the impetuosity of his temper by spurning their
caresses. There was, indeed, a degree of
haughtiness in his nature, which disposed him to bear down all opposition, and even to trample upon his inferiors. But when he saw the fair queen of Arca
dia, he became enamoured of her charms.
and sought to win her favour. The more he gazed upon her beauty, and studied her character, the more was the pride of his heart subdued; and as he strove to conform his mind to hers, he grew in favour with her, and with all mankind. At length they were united in the bands of wedlock, and the event was hailed with joy by
the whole region of Arcadia. Wherever they went the flowers of literature sprung
in their path, and the genius oi science encircled their brows. From their union came that lovely train of virtues and graces which
so conspicuously adorned this happy region.
and continued to nourish until the conquest of the Grecians introduced the luxuries and vices of the east. When Modesty was driven from the throne Genius pined away and died; and their progeny disappeared, or
were seen only at times, in the cottages of
the humblest shepherds. Lorenzo.

"You are not particular, I find, Hal, and

"I will; and in the language of an ancient
poet, who had more taste than all your modern pretty, senseless beaux: " I'd have her reason, all ber passions aivay " Easy in company in private gay " Coy to a fop to the deserving free " Still constant to herself, and true to me; " I'd have the expressions of ber thoughts be such, " She should not seem reserved, or talk too much. " Her conduct regular her mirth refin'd " Civil to strangers to her neighbours, kind.'' "Hard matter to get such a one, Harry." said I, and left him, persuaded he had pic

- Calumny. To defeat calumny, first, des

way to make it believed, and stabbing your defamer will not prove you innocent. Secondly, live an exemplary life,and then your

Thirdly, speak tenderly of every body, even of your defamers, and you will make the
whole world cry? "Shame on those who can find it in their hearts to injure one so inoffensive."
