A Woman's love deep in the heart, Is like the vivid flower; That lifts its modest head apart In tome sequestered bower, And blest is he who rinds that bloom, Who sips its gentle sweets; He heeds not life's oppressive gloom. Nor all the care he meets! A Woman's love is like the spring Amid the wild alone, burning wild o'er which the wing Of cloud is seldom thrown, And blest is he who meets that fount Beneath the sultry day ; How gladly should his spirit mount' How pleasant be his way ! A Woman's love is like tht rock That every tempest braves, And stands secure amid the shock Of ocean's wildest waves; And blest is he who knows repose Within its shade is given, The world, with all its cares and woes, Seems less like earth than heaven.
As soon as you are capable of reflection, you must perceive that there is a right and wrong in human action?. You see that those who are born with the same advantages of fortune, are not equally prosperous in the course of life. While some of them, by wise and steady conduct, attain distinction in the world, and pass their days with comfort and honor; others of the same rank, by mean and vicious behaviour forfeit the advantages of their birth, involve themselves m much misery, and end in being a digrace to their friend, and a burden to Society. Early, then, may you learn, that it is not on the external condition in which you find yourselves placed, but on the part which you are to act, that your welfare or unhappiness,your honor or infamy, depend. Now, when beginning to act that part, what can be of greater moment, or more serious attention, before you have yet committed any fatal or irretrievable errors? If, instead of exerting reflection for this valuable purpose.you deliver yourselves, up at so critical a time to sloth and pleasure; if you refuse to listen to any counsellor hut humor, or attend to any pursuit except that of amusement; if you allow yourselves to float loose and careless on the tide of life, ready to receive any direction which the current of fashion may chance to give you; what can you expect to follow from such beginings? While so many around you are undergoing the sad consequences of a like indiscretion, for what reason shall not these consequences extend to you? Shall you only attain success without that preparation, and escape dangers without that precaution, winch is required of others? Shall happiness grow up to you of its own accord, and solicit your acceptance, when to the rest of mankind it is the fruit of long cultivation, and the acquisition of labor and care? Deceive not yourselves with such! arrogant hopes. Whatever be your rank, Providence will not, for your sake, reverse its established order. By listening to wise admonitions, and tempering the vivacity of youth with a proper mixture of serious thought, you may cv ure cheerfulness for! the rest of your life; but by delivering!
yourselves up at present to giddiness and levity, you lay the foundation of lasting heaviness of heart.
The following interesting picture, sketched from the manners of the simple inhabitants of Wales, is the production of an anonymous writer, and first appeared in an English periodical publication. It possesses so many beauties, that we think our readers will thank us for its insertion. "On entering tint t hur h-ard at the little town ofLlanwair, in Wales. I was particularly struck with the remarkable custom that prevails over the northe rn part of that country, of planting the graves of departed friends with various evergreens, and all the choicest gifts of Flora's hand. Box, thrift, and other plants fit for edging, are planted round the shape of the grave, for a border, and every flower that adorns the smart parterre is placed within, so that the taste of the living may here be known hy the manner of embellishing these mansions of the dead. The snow-drop, violet, and primrose denote the infant dut; the rocket, rose, and woodbine, show maturer years; while tansy, rue, and starwort mark declining life. Each hath his little evergreen, fond emblem of (hat perennial state where change is known no i.iorc. Nor are they, when once planted, left to be overrun by the luxuriant)' of less delicate neighbours, but constantly weeded and cherished hy the hands of nearest friends of the deceased, who appropriate every Saturday afternoon for that pious remembrance of departed worth. I ap
proached with respect a young female, removing the obtrusive weeds; she turned her head, and showed a beautiful countenance, still more interesting from grief. "I come here (said she) to weep over my dear brother I had but one he was a brother I frequently pray that my brother may flourish in paradise like this rose on his grave. I have been told that I ought not to pray for the dead; but I find my heart better after it; and 1 feel a stronger desire
to be holy, that I may be the sooner fit to go to him." THE SCRIPTURES. "I will confess to you," says Rousseau, "that the majesty of the Scriptures strikes me with admiration, as the purity of the Gospel hath its influence on my heart. peruse the works of our philosophers with all their pomp of diction: how mean, how contemptible are they compared with the
Scriptures! is it possible mat a hook at once so simple and sublime should be merely the work of man? Is it possible that the sacred personage, whose history it contains, should be himself a mere man? Do we find that he assumed the tone of an enthusiast or ambitious sectary ? What sweetness, what purity, in his raanners! what an affecting gracefulness in lis delivery! what sublimity in his maxirm! what presence of mind in his replies! how great the command over his passiois! Where is the man, where the phihsc phci , who could so live and so die,vithouv. weakness and without ostentation? Whjn Plato described his imaginary good mm,with all the shame of guilt, yet meriting the highest reward of virtue, he described exactly the character of Jesus Christ: The resemblance was so striking, that all christian fathers perceived it."

Elegant extract. uAlas! how little do we appreciate a mother's tenderness while living! how heedless are we in youth of all her anxieties and kindness. But when she is dead and gone; when the cares and coldness of the world come withering to our hearts; when we know how hard it is to find true sympathy, how few love us for ourselves, how few will befriend us in our

To the interrogative. "Where is your darling? how often is the answer.'" "Married and gone to the new countries." In truth, the statesman, the orator, the hero, the genius, the artist, yea the king and the beggar, the virtuous and the vicious, are indebted to this tie for their existence. The first consideration after we have eat our white bread, is a life of partnership -this formed, we see in the newspapers, between the passing events and deaths of the day, Married, and here, save a hearty laugh or two the matter ends. So it goes but whyshould it ? It is the fortune, a common saying and a true one, when a young man of decorum unites with a lady, whose portion is prudence, virtue, and refinement but he weds an heir of poverty and seals his fate, who takes to himself a dashing damc,whose only endowments are beauty, pride and discontent. How pleasing are tr. prospects of a new Married couple, llie honey moon of fancy beams in every feature; their mids are big with future happiness, they sport in contentment and carol in expectation, but there unknown destiny, like all created things, is mixed with food and evil.

Among many others, are the ; following: putritied tlesh, bones, woollen ! rags, fish, leather, soap-suds, urine of all animals, brine, dung of all kinds, scrapings of ; door-vards and streets, rubbish of old hotiI ses, lime, plaster of Paris; mud from ponds, ; rivers, swamps, and the sea; shells, turls, ! ashes, earth that has been long under cov

Scc All these substances, whenever they can be obtained, should be collected together in a compost, which is one of the most essential requisites to good husbandry.

Venice was anciently famed for its admirable police. It happened one day that a French nobleman in taking a few turns
j in the square of St. Mark, had his pocket I picked of a valuable watch. Instantly in
ascertaining his loss, he repaired to the police department, and expressed, with little discretion, and in unmeasured terms, his surprise that under its vaunted regulations, such a circumstance should have occurred in the middle of the day, and in so public a place. "Be careful "how you speak of the police of Venice,"' said "the Commissary to whom he had addressed
himself. "Your character of foreigner will not shelter you, ifyou indulge in such invectives. Deposit here four zechins,and repair to-morrow morning at the same hour,to the spot where you lost your watch, with an assurance that it will be restored to you. The Frenchman was punctual, and waited three hours without any tidings of his watch. Still more enraged than before, he again presented himself to the Commissary, venting the bitterest imprecations, and swearing he had been most shamefully plundered and duped, having not only kost his watch, hut his zechins, together with his time which he held to be equally valuable. "Look to your fob,' said the Conimissionary, and there, to his utter astonishment, he found his watch! "You have still to learn something further of the Venetian police,' added the Cornmissionary, "for which purpose here is an officer who will accompany you." Hav-
