Letter from Mr. Erastus Fitz-Flirt, in t city, to Frederick Neville, Esq. in tit the he - country, dated April. Dear Fred,,How d'ye do?" It is rainy And every thing's horribly blue; And I know not that I can do better Than scribble a letter to you. I've sudied my precepts from Pelham IVe whistled and wallz'd till I'm dead And writing is really my only Remaining accomplishment, Fred.Pm tired to death of the city It neither is winter nor spring, There is not a sign of a party, There is not a bird on the wing. The leaves have not come for the summcr,- . The dinners are over pro tern. The sky but you know it is April The girls oh I'm weary of them ! I've sported my "Wheeler" till rusty, - Tied science all out in cravat, Play'd Vivian Grey till it's musty, And Pelham till Pelham is flat. My attitudes all have grown common. My phrases make nobody stare, I almost have ceasM to astonish! (Fred '.frizzing has ruin'd my hair.) There's not a new subject for flirting, There's not a new love to be cot : I've been tender with all that are pretty, And, hang me 1 with some that are not. lean hum all the tunes for cotillions, I know all the eye-brows by heart, I have seen all Miss Furbelow's flounces, And really 'tis time to depart. No scandal that's decently horrid, Nobody abus'd but the low, The 'indiscreet girls' are all married. The 'runaway matches' don't 'go.' The 'painted' have natural color, 'False ringlets' all grow to the head, And they call my suspicions 'ill-natured,' (How very ridiculous, Fred!) I've order'd my horse in his harness, And ponder'd the sky for a minute, Laid a bet on his running and trotting; Tho' I knew 'twas too muddy to win it. It's rather too rainy for fishing, It's rather too muddy to shoot, Hanging 's only genteel in December, And you know Fm a villanous 'flute. Then my tailor is threading me ever, My cobbler's impatient at last, (I thought, Fred, that I should have vanish'd Ero the time of my promise was past,) The friends of Jane, Julia, and Susan, Look'd on till the 'season' was o'er, But they talk of "intentions" in April (Fred, is'nt this April a bore ?) P. S. I must stay in the city Till my pony is well of his sprain, (This comes of a wager in April, And running a race in the rain.) If my tailor and cobbler arc civil, If I don't get a summons from Sue, If! neither am wed nor arrested, I shall see ycu in May, Fred, Adieu! From ScJathicL THRILLING SKETCH. 'A portal of the arena opened, and the combatant, with a mantle thrown over his face and figure, was let in the surroundcry. The lion roared and ramped against the bars of his den at the sight. The guard put a sword and buckler into the hands of the Christian, and he was left alone. He drew the. mantle from his face, and bent a slow and firm look around the ampitheatre. His fine countenance and lofty bearing raised a universal shout of admiration. He might have stood for an Apollo encountering the " Python. His eye at last turned on mine. Could I believe my senses! Constantius was be fore me. UA11 my rancour vanished. An hour past I could have struck the betrayer to the heart ; I-could, have called on the severest vengeance of man and heaven to smite the destroyer of my child. But to sec him hopelessly doomed, the man whom I had honored for his noble qualities, whom I had even loved, whose crime was at the worst but the crime of giving way to the strongest temptation that can bewilder tho heart of man, to see this noble creature flung to the savage beast, dying in tortures, torn piecemeal before my eyes, and his misery wrought by rot, I would have obtested earth and heaven

ii roof of my mouth. My limbs refused to stir. I would have thrown myself at the feet of Nero; but I sat like a man of stone pale paralyzed the beating of my pulses slopt my eyes alone alive. "The gate of the den was thrown back, and the lion rushed in with a roar and a bound that bore him half across the arena. saw the sword glitter in the air, when it waived again it was covered with blood. A howl told the blow had been driven home. The lion, one of the largest from Numcdia, and made furious by thirst and hunger, an! animal of prodigious power, crouched for an instant, as if to make sure of his prey, crept a few paces onward, and sprung at the victim's throat. He was met by a second wound, but his impulse was irrcsistable. A cry of natural horror rang round the amphitheatre. The struggle was now for an inslant life or death. They rolled over each other; tho lion reared upon his hind feet, and with gnashing teeth and distended talons, plunged on the man; again they rose together. Anxiety was now at its' wildest height. The sword now swung round the champion's head in bloody circles. They fell again covered with blood and dust. The hand of Constantius had grasp3d the lion's mane, and the furious bounds of the monster could not loose the hold; but his strength was evidently giving way; he still struck terrible blows, but each was weaker than the one before ; till collecting his whole force for a last effort, he darted one mighty blow into the lion's throat and sunk. The savage yelled, and pouring out blood, fled howling round the arena. But the hand still grasped the mane, and his conquerer was dragged whirling through the dust at his heels. A universal outcry now arose to save him, if he was not already dead. But the lion, though bleeding from every vein, was still too terrible, and all shrunk from the hazard. At last the grasp gave way, and the body lay motionless upon the ground. " What happened for some moments after I know not. There was a struggle at the portal ; a female forced her way tlirough the guards, rushed in alone, and flung herself upon the victim. The sight of a new prey roused the lion; he tore the ground with his talons; he lashed his streaming side with his tail, he lifted up his mane, and bared his fangs. But his approaching was no longer with a bound; he dreaded the sword, and came snufiin" tho blood on the sand, and stealing round the body in circuits still diminishing. "The confusion in the vast assemblage was now extreme. Voices innumerable called for aid. Women screamed and fainted, men burst into indignant clamors at this prolonged cruelty. Even the hard hearts of the populace, accustomed as they were to the sacrifices of life, were roused to honest curses. The guards grasped their arms, and waited but for a sign from the emperor. But Nero gave no sign. "I looked upon the woman's face; it was Salome! I sprang upon my feet. I called on her name; called on her by every feel ing of nature to fly from that place of death, to come to my arms, to think of the agonies of all that loved her. j "She had raised the head of Constantius on her knee, and was wiping tho pale visage with her hair. At the sound of my voice 1 she looked upland calmly casting back the locks from her forehead, fixed her eyes upon me. She still knelt; one hand supported the head, with the other she pointed to it, as her only answer. I again adjured her. There was the silence of death among the thousands around me. A fire flashed into her eye her cheek burned she waived her hand with an air of superb sorrow. "I am come to die,'' she uttered in a lofty tone. 'This bleeding body wag my husband. I have no father. The world contains to me but this clay in my arms. Yet,' and she kissed the ashy lips before her, 'yet my Constantius it wa3 to save that father, that your generous heart defied the peril of this hour. It was to redeem him from the hand of evil, that you abandoned your quiet home! yes, cruel father, here lies the noble being that threw open your dungeon, that led you safe through the conflagration, that to the last moment of his liberty, only thought how he might preserve and protect you.' Tears at length fell in floods from her eyes. 'But,' said she, in a tone of wildpower, 'he was betrayed, and may the power whose thunders avenge the cause of his people, pour down just retribution upon the head that dared !' "I heard my own condemnation about to be pronounced by the lips of my own child. Wound up to tho last degree of suffering, I tore my hair, leaped upon the bars before me, and plunged into the arena by her side. The height stuned me, I tottered a few paces and fell. The lion gave a roar and sprang upon me. I lay helpless under him; 1 felt his fiery breath I saw his lurid eye glaring I heard the gnashing of his white fangs above me "An exulting shout arose. I saw him rear as if struck, gore filled his jaws. An other mighty blow was driven to his heart. He sprang high in the air with a howl. He dropped; he was dead. The amphitheatre thundered with acclamations "With Salome clinging to my bosom, Constantius raised me from the ground. Ihe roar of the lion had roused him from his swoon, and two blows saved me. The falchion had broken in the heart of the raon ster. The whole multitude stood up, supnJirntinrr fnr rviir livre in tVio nnmn rC filial piety and heroism. Nero, devil as he was, dared not resist the strength of popular feeling, lie waived a signal to the guards the portal was opened, and my children sustaining my feeble steps, showered with garlands and ornaments from innumerable hands, slowly led me from the arena." tMilMHHIMMMk.

WOMAN ur a rouxo wa. Female !

loveliness cannot bo clotneu in a more pleasing garb than that of knowledge. A female thus arrayed is one of the most interesting objects of creation. Every eye rests upon her with pleasure; the learnrd and the wise, the young and the aged of the opposite sex delight in her society, and affix to her character respect and veneration. Ignorance and folly stand reproved in her presence, and vice in his bold career, shrinks abashed at her gaze. She moves the joy, the delight, the pride of thedomestic circle; 1 .a s.f-k she excites the praise tho admiration of tne wona. a iemaie tnusarmca ana equipped is prepared to encounter every trial which this uncertain state may bring to raise with proper elevation to the pinacle of fortune, or sink with becoming fortitude into the abyss of poverty; to attain with a cheerful serenity the heights of bliss or en dure with patient firmness the depths of woe. MAN by a rouse LADr. Man is the creature of circumstances, and unless his disposition is naturally depraved, it is in the power of a wife to render him a source of perfect enjoyment. She must not abandon those little innocent artifices, which she so successfully exerted in winning a heart, now that heart is entirely her own, for when it finds the attraction gone, it will rebel! The common way of wives is to resign themselves to utter heedlessness and negligence. He sees in his walks beautiful women, dressed and adorned with choice attractions, and when he returns home he finds his wife en disabilc! Then his imagination institutes comparisons between the carefully adorned beauties that have met his glance in the morning, and neglectful wife who received him at home. Then that homo becomes wearisome; perhaps he may reprove his wife's negligence; if she is what is termed spirited, a quarrel ensues; if her disposition is sullen she turns her back upon her husband, and plays with her lapdog, or sits in silence, contemplating the fire tongs and shovel, or some such interesting piece of furniture. The Editor of the Nantucket Enquirer relates the following anecdote: "About thirty years ago a very small child was noticed to steal regularly away from its meals and to carry its plate of victuals with it. This had been repeated so often that the parents determined to watch its move ments. Following the child ur.pcrccired they saw it go to a snug corner of the yard, seat itself on the ground, and disposing ita plate before it, separated tlie provisions into two parts, and then quietly wait, as in expectation of company. It was not long before a large rat, to their great surprise, made his appearance from a neighboring hole, and seated himself at the side of tho plate opposite the child with all the familiarity of an old acquaintance. Immediately both set to, without ceremony, the one with a spoon and the o'dier with a nose, each at his own division of food. "The dinner party seemed to enjoy all the gust which intrinsic worth and agreea ble participation could yield. When the east was over the rat retired, and the child returned with apparent satisfaction to tho able. The only occurrence which marred he harmony of the occasion was an attempt of the visiter to lake a morsel from the por tion winch the other had reserved for itself; but this agression was met on the part of he child with a gentle tap of the spoon over the part used in taking snuff, and the mo dest reprimand "keep on your own side, rat." Inexorable Creditor. The following af fecting narative of the cruelty of a creditor towards an unfortunate debtor, is to bo bund among the notes to a volume of Amer ican Poetry, published at Philadelphia by Mr. Woodworm. "Some years since, a young man by the name of Brown was cast into the prison of this city for debt. His nsanners were very nterestmg. His fine dark eyes beamed so much intelligence, his lively countenance expressed so much ingenuousness, that I was induced, contrary to mv usual rule, to seek hi, acquaintance Companions in "Brown was informed that one of his ere-1 ditors would not consent to his discharge;! that he had abused htm very much, (as is usual in such cases.) and made a solemn oath to keen him in iail he rotted? I watched Brown s countenance when he received this information; and whether it was fancy or not, I cannot say, but I thought I saw tho cheering spirit of hope in that mo ment desert him forever. "Nothing gave Brown pleasure but the daily visit of his amiable wife. By the help of a kind relation, sho was able to give him sometimes soup, wine, and fruit; and every day, clear or stormy, she visited tho prison; to cheer the drooping spirits of her husband. She was uncommonly pretty. She seemed an angel, administering consolation to a man about to converse with angels. One day passed the hour of one o'clock, and she came not. Brown was uneasy. Two, three, and four, passed, and sho did not appear. Brown was distracted. A messenger arrived. Mrs. Brown was very dangerously ill; and supposed to bo dying in a convulsion fit. As soon as Brown received this information, he darted to the door with the rapidity of lightning. Tho inner door was open; and the jailer who had just let some one in, was closing it as Brown passed violently through it. The jailer knocked him down with a massy iron key which he had in his hand; and Brown was carried back lifeless, and covered with blood, to his cell. "Mrs. Brown died; and her husband was denied even the sad privilege of closing her eyes. He lingered for some time, till, at last, he called me one day, and gazing on me, while a fiint smile played upon his lip, he said, "he believed death was more kind

than hs creditors." After a Tuvr convulse

struggles, ho expired. 'Legislators and sages of America! permit me to ask you how much benefit has that creditor derived from the imprisonment, and consequent d'ratli of an amible man, in the bloom of youth, who, without this cruelty, might have flourished, even" now, an ornament and glory to the nation?"'
