I always doubt the friendly meaning Of well perhaps I do oot know When for a favor I am sueing; I'd rather hear the answerno When of a friend ! wish to borrow A lidle cash to hear him say I've, none to day but on fa-morrow Is worse than if he told me nay. Why all this need of plastering over, What we id fact intend to show? Why not at once with much less labor, Say frankly, Yes my friend, or No.? I from my soul despite all quibbling, I'll use it not with friend or foe But when they ask without di9eroblio, I'll plainly answer Ye, ot No.? And when I ask that trembling question, Will you be mine my dearest Miss r" I wish her without heai'ation To say distinctly YE- Sir YES.

That there are many exceptions to this odious character, cannot be denied; yet, in a maritime country where a great proportion of active men devote themselves to a sea-faring life, there ought to be public disgrace attach ed to those who cannot assig'i the most substantial reasons for their choice of celibacy.
Kwn the ancient Greeks were so fully persuaded of the pernicious influence of professed bachelors, on the population and morals of their countrymen, that, by the laws of Lycurgus, they wer branded with infamy, excluced from all offices civil and military, as well as from national games and public spectacles. Farther, such persons were compelled to appear at certain festivals, where they were exposed to public derision, and led round
the market-place: in this degraded situ
ation, the fair sex conducted them to the altars, and obliged them to make amende
honorable, by submitting to blows and
lashes, at discretion. The women, not
BaUftieu .witn tins specimen ot passive obedience, forced them to sing certain
iongs teeming with satire, and depreca
ting a state of life which JNature had
never designed.
The Roman laws, also were not more
favorable to their toleration; and the vi gilatit censors frequently imposed arbi
trary fines on old bachelors. According
to Dionysius, the historian, there existed in Rome an ancient edict by which all persons of full age were obliged to marry. But the most remarkable law enacted against themwas that made in the reign of the emperor Augustus, by which they were rendered incapable of enjoying the benefit either of legacies or inheritance by will, unles from their near relations. This limitation, Plutarch justly observes, induced many bachelors to marry; not so much with the view of
of course, lay no claim to the animal
from the shortness of her tail; indeed, here was proof positive that this was not his cow, so the thief, going over with him, sold the cow without any further fear of detection. C. R.
Fencrable Ship. The New Bedford Courier states that the ship Maria, whose arrival was announced a few days ago,
irom the I acihe Ocean, is probably the oldest vessel now employed in the whaling business. She was built at Pembroke, in Mass. during the revolutionary war, and was intended for a privateer, but was purchased by the venerable William Rotch, of New Bedford, for a more pacific purpose, by whom she was transferred to Mr. Samuel Rodman, the present owner. Her register is dated 1782. She has performed four voyages to London, three to the coast of Brazil,
and one to the Indian ocean. She has
doubled Cape Horn thirty times, and the Cape of Good Hope twice, and has never met with an accident of sufficient importance to justify a call on those by
whom she was insured . She was the first vessel which displayed the American stars and stripes in the port of London. Although she has been delivering her owners rich cargoes for forty-six years, she is still a substantial vessel, and may yet deliver many more.

One of the snakes had fastened upon his liver and had eaten a hole nearly through, the other was preying upon his gammon. One of the snakes measured nearly three feet, the other about thirty inches.

From the Philadelpia Chronicle. The Stump tailed Cow.-A Jersey anecdote. A good many years ago a man stole a cow from Morristown, N. J. and drove her to Philadelphia for sale. She was a common cow enough, except that she had lost all her tail but about six inches. The thief, fearing that by the shortness of her tail he might be traced, had procured in some way, probably from a slaughter house, another cow's
tail, winch he fastened so ingeniously to the short tail, that it was not to be known
that it had not regularly grown there. As soon as the Jersevman missed his cow, he set off for Philadelphia, thinking she would probably be carried there for sale, and it happened that when he came to the ferry he got into the same boat that was carrying over his cow, and the feUow who stolft her. As it was natural that he should have his thoughts very much upon cows, he soon began to look at this one with great attention. She was, indeed, very much like his cow, he thought. Her marks agreed wonderfully, and she had exactly the same expression of face, but then the expression of her tail was so very different. It must be supposed that the new owner of the cow
e
is called upon to speak a number of de
clamations he has learnt at school; his
the
parrot ? His writing and cyphering
ooojcs are shown as prodigies of improvement; they prove that he has had an at
tentive master, and he is a very carelees scholar. The fond father believes him
to be a natural poet; true he is fond of
reading ballads, has been taught to re
peat a number of hymns by heart, and, like most children, is fond of the tinkling
ol rhyme. He has proceeded so far as
to compose a few couplets, that would be a sufficient antidote to the poetic mania. His little tricks are related as
the marks of sagacity, or flights of genius. I am tired of hearing them. He is neither more nor less than other boys; and his father is like many other men.
i is a puy a i a a snouiu ue maae a fool, because he happens to be thought
a genius. How often is a lad sent to col
lege, because he is unfortunately mista
ken lor an uncommon youth? A father who has not spare money enough to bring
up his son at college, would do well nev
er to force him from the beaten track of
'honest industry ;' it has peace and plenty
on the right hand and on the left. A
good common education and habits of
industry are worth more to a young man than the dear bought and ill merited A. M. Many flutter cn the artificial wings of genius; but few can soar above their fellow creatures. A real genius is a very rare thing; not to be seen in every family, except by the eye of dotage or
ignorance, if a boy, from the production of his leisure hours, that his master may devote to play, can produce master ly specimens of mechanical genius, ea-
