rniMED AND PURUSltKl) " BY JOHN SCOTT Market Street, opposite the Seminary.

From the Western Telegraph. His words are bonds, his oat'.s arc oracles; His love sincere, Jiis thoughts immaculate: His tears, pure messengers sent from the beart; His heart as tar from fraud as heaveu from earth. Shakespeare. Such were lovers in the days of the poet, all sincerityall constancy. For some time past I have placed myself in a corner of one of our churches, convenient to mark the actions, and listen to the chitchat of modern lovers, or beaux; as

tallied with the poet's discription. 1 have - observed that they are very regular in their attendance and very apt in timing their coming so that they may interrupt the minister when reading his text, and throw all devout worshiping into an agreeable confusion. Some it is true, do not conduct themselves in this becoming manner, but in another, equally polite and appropriate; J.hey form a circle round the door, and indulge in sighs and , "killing looks," as the various couetts, . and very beautiful, force their way into cfcurch through this host of admirers. Fcr what purpose they come I am utterly unable to divine," unless It lie to show a new cut of a pantaloon's flap, a new c url of the hair, or a new turn of the brim of a hat all it must be confessed of vital importance. I have also observed that these elbowers are not in love with the same fair creature ten days at a time. I cannot account for this strange perversion of the noblest passion of the human breast in any other way than this; these wise mortals conceive that at each change they are in love with a more perfect being, and that if they continue to change and love or. v this manner, they will in the end fall in love and marry (marry'?

Poor, simple souls! listen to my advice, and be correal of this mistaken wofully mistaken lAojon. In my boyish days, I must confess, I was much of your

THE SULTAN MAIIMOUD II. The greatest man alive is bevond a question the Sultan Mahmoud. Hejis exhibited throughout the Creek wac, and the invasion of Russia, a spirit of enterprise, daring courage, liberality ofviews, superior judgment and extraordinary genius, surpassed only by such aniaii as tlie Emperor Napoleon.
