On Taste.

THE INDI A N A .REVEILLE,*

Agreeable emotions and sensations may be divided into three orders; those of pleasure, which refer to the senses;—those of harmony, which rcf?r to the mind;— and those of happiness, which are the netoral result of a union between harmony and pleasure; the former being exercised - in virtue—the latterin temperance. Harmony is principally enjoyed by those men, who. possess, what has analogically been termed, taste;— 1 "that universal sense ' of beauty, which every man, in soma degree, possesses, rendered more exqnisita by genius, and more correct by lion-*' It is very singular that the dia-. position of the-moral powers la always similar td that of the imagination:— that those, who are most inclined to admire prodigious and sublime objects in the natural world, ore also most inclined to applaud examples of fortitude and heroic .virtue in the moral;—while those, who are charmed .rather with the delicacy and sweetness of colors, forms, and sounds,, 'never, fail.in like manner to yield (he preference to the shfier scenes of virtue and -the sympathies of .a domestic life. Exciting a iove .of true glory and an admiration of- every nobler virtue. Taste exalts the affections, and purifies oar pas-sions;-*—clothes a private.life in white, and ’ ft public one in purplo. Adding a itow feature, as it were, to the pomp, the bloom, and tbe exuberance of nature, >it enables the mind to illumine what is dark, and to colon what is faded;—giving a lighter yellow to the topaz, a more celestial blue rto the samphire, and a deeper crimson to the ruby, it imparts a higher brilliance to the diamond, and a more transparent purple to the amethyst. Bearing a price which only thja heart and the imagination can estimate, and being the mother of a thousand chaste desire?, and a thousand secret hopes, tastestrews flowers in the paths of lilcraldre and science; apd breathing inexpressive sounds, and picturing celestial forms, qualifies tbe hour of sorrow, by inducing that secret sense of cheerfulness, which, in its operation.— - # Refines tbe soft, oca swells the strong; And Joining nature's’general song. Through many s varying tone unfolds The harmony of human sou'.;.

"A few months ago a Yankee peddler was about here selling his ware, and takt mg pay in anything he could get.

One day, just as the fanner had got him out and tied him ' up, This peddler came along and wanted to sell his"tinware. *

. Tha philosophers wjil peter agree in the definition of beauty, though every one knows what it is. Burke was beantifolly sublime on the "sublime and beautiful,” but the world is little the wiser for a his speculations. . Whether beauty really exists in the object which is called bcautifol, or whether the beauty js “all io your eye,-” fis the phrase is,—that is to say, exists only , io the mind of the observer, »has never beep definitely settled, and perhaps never will be.. It is not impossible that the whole truth in the matter is comprehended in- both theories—that beauty is partly in the object and partly in the miad that gives it recognition. This much is true, at least, that while two persons shall both agree that a particular thing has beauty, one of them shall ice much more than tho other, accord ip gly as his taste or imagination shall bo bolter. .Of beauty in person,, some writer lies said “there is none to be found after a fortpight’a intimate acquaintance, Except hjsppty of cxpfessimr merely, and eyep that* depends on association.'' ; Tho dogma is sometimes too strong to be wholly true, and yet the . troth doubtless lies withip if. Fortunate is he who.baa a ready discernment of* beauty in nalnrp, and art—}n fjie world of external objects and the world of internal reflections.'

gag Incident ; of the Late Overflow, , Dqripg the high waters of tbe Mississippi,«pd its pttribol’aries, 9 fev weeks since, a vast extent of country between tbe Mississippi and/uied Biver was overflowed.
