"MUCH YET REMAIN'S UNSUNG." Cowpcr.
YES Oil NO. When 1 ask a man a question, . I wish he'd answer V"es or No, Nor stop to make some smooth evasion, And only tell me may be so. I always doubt the friendly meaning Of well perhaps I do not knowWhen for a favor 1 am suing; : I'd rather hear the answer No. ! When of a friend I wish to borrow A little cash to hear him say I've none today kit on to morrowIs worse than if he told me nay. Why all this need of plastering over, What we in fav$ intend to sliov! Why not at noce w ' th much les? Jabour, Say frankly, Yes, my friend, or No I from my soul despise all quibbling, I'll use it not with friend or foe But w hen they ask, without dissembling, I'll plainly answer Yes, or No. And when I ask that trembling question, " Vill you be mine, my dearest Miss!"
1 hen"ftiuy there he no hesitation, To say directly Yks, Sir, Yes. LINE 3,

PARTE." Son of Fortune! child of Fame! , Whatleav'st tliou but a deathless name! A pompous mark, at which the-world Its envy-venomed shafts has hurled; -'Thought's! thou, thy noon of life would be Veiled in so dark a destiny! Methanks thy manly voice I hear, In pensive sw ells burst on my ear, fLe prosperous breeze is felt no more, The skies with vengful thunders roar; Life's billows now run mountain high, And each to each heawns back a sigh; E'en in the wind's low whispering tone, Is IteardTie'fifinwa'n''anil-iLeiQcwiit'-And he, to whom I've bowed the knee, Forsakes rne in adversity. Curst be the ward that chains me down, To blooniless rock like truant bound; Curst be the blighting hand of fate, That laid my prospects desolate; Curst be my restless spirit, now To wily ty rau Is it must bow, And loathed, rejected, and despised, By those who once it idolized; A wand'rer 'neath the frown of heaven, From Sun of morn to moon of even. 03--CO TO MISS C SANDWICH. Go, idle paper, to the maid Whose charms have taught my anxious breast That Love may ever hearts invade, - ---Jul tranquil uiiiul tljiiivi nf xezis Go thou, and while thy lines are reading, Fcr me be kindly interceding.
Tell her I live but in her smiles, Tho' true, she ne'er smiled on me; But Hope and Love with flattering wiles, Lead me those fancied mi!es to see; Smiles of contempt perhaps now rising, The liues and writer both despising. Co, happy paper, fearless go, " Nor dread trie flames that thee await; Flames in thy master's bosom glow, Then, why should 'st thou lament thy fate; Cfo, from her hands receive thine ending, Oif'rings to love, in flames assending. But should she read and lay thee by, Be sure her breast can kindness feel; Ahl chould'st thou read it in her eye, For thou would'st ne'er the glance reveal. Go then, and ta her heart appealing, Nought that I doubt or hope concealing. Bear then thy master's message straight; Say much 1 love, say much 1 fear. Say that her frowns, contempt and hate, Ar3 what 1 cannot, could not bear; Say that without her life's no blessing, Nor an endearment worth possessing. CARO.

MISCELLANEOUS.
TO ANY BODY. "Lend me your paper il you please.'' 'Ye sir, if you will return it soon, as 1 have not perused it.:' Pleased or not pleased, or not perused, it mast be lent, or I must be called a stingy fellow, we who pay for the papers have no more good of it than those who borrow. For my part I hate to deny a neighbor the use of a newspaper it is so trilling an accommodation: so trilling, that I should think even- mm of spirit, however poor in
purse, might c ontrive to take one paper at least for his information especially if he has a family of children. Printers must live on something else besides ink and paper, and while they press for the people they ouirhtnot to benvs-,.
;d by the people. I am sensible that a printing establishment must be an expensive and laborious undertaking, without the aid of a liberal subscription list; but if every subscriber lends his paper to six or eight borrowers, the printercaimolhave many good subscribers on bis list. For my part I take an extra paper, which 1 fiend to a poor relation of mine in the country, and I think that a great many of us
fused at the expense of smoking on or two cigars the less per week, or of nor filling our snuffboxes or wine glasses s often. . I have long been in the habit ofJfdnig
my papers, but found it very troubfesome
when I was obliged to lend, therefore I
thought it best to take an exlra paper to
accommodate myncighbors.-fBy the bye, some of my joor neighbors a?e much better off than myself. I asked one of them
the other day, why he drooped (or stop
ped taking) the paper.
"Uecause, said he, "that communica
tion ran afoul of me, and I doa'twant any
more of his paper." 1
"Ah! and why do you win t to read
mine?
"Because I only want to see What they
lave got in it to-day that takes us off."
"Very well, squire ; then you iik? to see

ofAuaust. sSuicidea are more frequent among
unmarried men; but w ith women it is observed that suicide is more common among the unmarried. Must we conclude from this that marriage is beneficial to men, while to women it brings sorrow. Suicide becomes more common
among men from the age of 35 to 45; among wo
om the age of 2o to oo.
It is a remarkable fact, that the two sexes ap
pear to preserve the inference ol tneir man
ners and habits in the choice of the means of destruction to which they have recourse. Thus r,ienchoose cutting instruments and lire arms; womW choose poison and suflication. The most Lumcdiate causes of suicide among women arc jealously, and unfortunate attachment; among foen, disappointed ambition and reverses offortuhe. Misery produces a pretty near equal nutnbei of suicides in both sexes. About half the sudden deaths are produced by apoplexy. It lias been observed that, from 1H04 to there was a much greater number of apoploxics than from 1813 to 182:. Jg this great diflcrenee to be attributed to the moral effect produced by political events which filled the former period! The proportion of apoplexies among men and women is, 1.070, for men, and 1,027 for women.
A field preacher, who had been a printer, observed in the usual harangue, "that youth might be compared to a comma; mandood to a semicolon ; old age to a co-
jlon: to which death puts a period.
"Give me a pound of candles," said a little negro boy with a commanding air, as he entered a Tallow Chandler's "You might say please," retorted" the greasy shopman sharply. 4I would,' answered S( ipo, with asperity, 'had I not brought the rhino.' A clergyman was reading the burial service over an Irish corpse and having forgot which sex it was, on coining to that part of the ceremony which reads thus, "our dear brother or sister, the reverend gentleman stopped, and seeing Pat stand by, stepped back and whispered to him, saying 'is it a brother or a sister?' Pat said, 'Friend, 'tis neither, 'tis only a relation !'
An English nobleman once advertised for an English servant ,Pat hearing of this, applied for the situation. On being questioned of what country he wo, lie replied, "an Englishman to be sure." And where was you born? "In Dublin surely,"
said Pat. Born in Dublin, replied the
Aohleman, nnd an Lf'ghshmnn, how can that be? "Why, placcyour honor,, said Pat, "spose a man is born in a stable, is that any raison he should be a horse?"
