SELECTED POETRY.

TO MY WIFE. Pillow thy head upon this heart, My own, my cherished wife; And let us for one hour forget Our dreary path of life. Then let me kiss thy tears away, And bid remembrance flee Back to the days of halcyon youth. When all was hope and glee. Fair was the early promise, love, Of our joy-freighted barque; Sunlit and lustrous, too the skies Now all so dim and dark: Over a stormy sea, dear wife, We drove with shattered sail, But love sits smiling at the helm, And mocks the thrcatning gale. Come, let me part those clustering curls, And gaze upon thy brow How many, many memories Sweep o'er my spirits now? How much of happiness and griefHow much of hope and fear Breath from each dear.loved lienament, Most eloquently here. Thou gentle one, few joys remain To cheer our lonely lot; The storm has left our paradise With but one sunny spot: Hallow'd fore'er will be that place To hearts like thine and mine 'Tis where our childish hands upreaed Affection's earliest shrine. Then nestle closer, to this breast, My fond and faithful dove! Where, if not here, should be the ark Of refuge for thy love? The poor man's blessing and his curse Pertain alike to me: For shorn of worldly wealth, dear wife, Am I not rich in thee? SERENADE. Slumber, gentle lad, Slumber like the rose; When the airs of Heaven Lull it to repose. Angels hover o'er thee Softly seal thine ees, Waft thy spirit gently, To the smiline Skies. TO SUSANNA. Swef.ter than the sweetest manna, Lively lovely, chaste Susanna; Vou're the girl that still I muse on, Pretty little smiling susan. Oh! if verses can amuse ye, Fairest, sweetest, laughing Susy, I'd write on, but ne'er rebuke ye, Handsome and good-natured Suky ; Every rhyme should flatter you, Sprightly, dimpling, tetider Sue. I've sung my sontj adieu, adieu! Susanna, Susan, Susy Sue! The liveliness of Women. It is not the smiles of a pretty face, nor the tint of thy complexion, nor the beauty and symmetry of thy person, nor yet the costly robes and decorations that compose artificial beauty; no, nor that enchanting grace, which thou dartest wilh such lusture on the man thou deemest worthy of thy affection, it is thy pleasing deportment; thy chaste conversation, thy sensibility, and purity of thy thoughts, thy affable and open disposition; sympathising with those in adversity; comforting the afflicted; relieving the distressed, and above all. that humanity of soul, that unfeigned and perfect regard for the precepts of Christianity. These virtues constitute thy loveliness. Adorned with those of nature and simplicity, they will shine like the refulgent sun, and display to man that the lovelines of thy person is not to be found in the tinsel ornaments of the body, but to the reflection of the rectitude and serenity of a well spent life, that soars above the trnnsient vanities of this world. And when thy days were ended here upon earth, thy happy spirit shall be wafted to the regions of eternal bliss. A DouBTrur. Story. Lieutenant Van Iyscthxgntz,of Nova Zembla, having completed his new brick house, (the chimnies of which were constructed upon Dr. Wolga's improved plan,) and having welcomed his family to that commodious and elegant building, on the morning of the l2'3d ult., unfortunately lost his wife and dinner in the following manner: As his wife about 11 o'clock, approached the kitchen fire place for the first time, to hang over the fire a pot heavily loaded with beef and pork, the strong draught for which Dr. Wolga's chimnies are so remarkable, took the poor woman, pot and all, upchimney,and notwithstandingdiligent search has been made, neither of thm ha hffr, rnonnr k'srd of.

Superstitions of the Sizis$.( f.hunt-

man, on going out in the morning sees a fox cross his path, or meets an oid woman or friar, he immediately reiurns home aeam: as he is persuaded th.;in the first instance, he will meet wilh ' no game, and in the other that he will shoot a man hidden in the leaves, or do some other irreparable mischief. The stagnation of the blood, known by the name of nightmare, is railed by them Tokeli. This Tokch is represented as a little gnome, all covered with fine greyjiairs, but of an elegant figure, who la) s himself on the chest of sleeping men or women, and embraces them nearly to suffocation. A person who has been thus embraced, is in expectation of soon finding a treasurers an indemnification from the Tokeli, for the fear and agitation he had caused. Milk and Water. A good anecdote is told of a monkey who stole the purse of a woman while on her passage to this country and running with it to the shrouds of the vessel, alternately threw upon the deck and overboard, every dollar of its contents. Silently the old woma busied herself picking them up and counting, till, finding he had finished, she clasped her hands and exclaimed, "Oh! the wonderful cratur, sure was everjustice sarved out more equallyHot a farthing more has gone by water than came by water sure was'nt it by the selling of milk that I got them, and was'nt that same half water? Oh! the wonderful cratur, Oh!" SELECT PROVERBS OF ALL NATIONS. A young woman married to an oh: man, must behave like an old woman. A true friend does sometimes venture to be offensive. A man's best fortune or his worst is a wife. A friend that you buy with presents will be bought from you. An enemy to beauty is a foe to Nature. Be a good husband and you will soon gel a penny to spend, a penny to lend, and a penny for a friend. Before you marry, be sureaf a house to tarry. Spanish. Italian. Children are uncertain comforts: when little, they make parents fools; when great, mud. Delays increase desires, and sometimes extinguish them. Fair is not fair, but that which plcaseth. Friends got without desert, will be i lot without cause. Friends tie their purse with a cobweb thread. Italian. Fat sorrow is better than lean sorrow. From many children and little bread, good Lord deliver us. Spanish. He that hath a wife and children must not sit with his fingers in his mouth. He loves you as a ferrit does a rabbit, to make a meal of you. He who does not honor his wife dishonors himself. Spanish. If all the world were ugly, deformity would be no monster. A Lady wrote to her lover, begging him to send her some money she added, by way of postscript, "I am so ashamed of the request I have made in this letter, that I sent after the postman to get it hack, hut the servant could not overtake him." Lytton Rulwers Epigram. Really it is to bad of Lytton Bulwer to trifle with the tender passion as he does in his last work he illustratesthe heedless way courtships are carried on and cut off by the lower orders in the following verses, which he calls an amatory epigram : Bob courted Molly for some time, But Susans charms were in their prime, And faithless Bobby left poor Mary, In unrequited love's quandary; , And all her sweetest smiles refusing His soul surrendered to fair Susan. "Oh, wretch! (cried Moll, with angrylook,) And is it thus that I'm for-Sook?" "No (Bobby grinned) Moll thou'rt mistaken, Tis I'm for-Suke, and thou for-saken." Christianity.

But, sir, let us not mistake the character of that divine religion let us not attempt to fight the battle of truth with the weapons of error, or endeavor to support by opression a religon whose noblest distinction is that it first taught the human race h lon of nniverna! rarity."

Quite Domesticated. The docility and domestic habits of Cows are quite amusing sometimes. There is a venerable old pet creature in this town.

who is accustomed to steal a march of the family with whom she resides and eats up miscellaneous matters usuallydeposited in the kitchen. She occasionally walk; into the back part of the house and from thence into the larder and after seating herself on some humble stool, quietly fills her stomach with any culinary matters which happen within her reach. She always has a good appetite and never takes hot sling or early bitters to create one. The other morning it was found during the night she had eaten up what was de signed for the breakfast table, a good mess ot codfish and potatoes. And at another time she stowed away in her beans. A few days since, she walked into a neighbor's kitchen and eat up a number of fresh loaves of bread and then relumed home and swallowed quantity of butter enough to spread them with. She's a nice beast and yields, in proper season, sixteen quarts of milk in a day, and withal has a touch ofsnmnam bulism about her. Northampt. Courier, Nym and the FoorrD. Corpora Nym clings to his cash (when he get any) like a paragraphist to a "shocking accident," ora broker to his"premium. The other day while travelling from Boston to Lowell, he was stopped by a foot Pad, who demanded his money in the politest terms imaginable. 4iMy dear Sir," quoth the Corporal "you are barking up the wrong sapling ion don't know me I presume. "I have not the honor." "Well, then, I am a printer!" The foot Pad was off. "D d dry picking then, know! ' Lowell limes THE HUSBAND. The fond, the protecting love of a devoted husband, is like the tall and stately oak that rears its gracely foliage be side some happy cot, to which its leafv honors atlord reviving shade, while its spreading branches shelter the melodious songsters of the verdant grove, who within its hallowed precincts nurture the callow brood, unmolested by the wanton tyranny of school hoy pranks. Oh '.'tis the effulgent jEgean shield, which casts far and wide, its bright defensive rays around the timid shrieking form of the best, most tenderly beloved object of his warm heart's pristine love and veneration. The hallowed affection of such a husband is the far off goal to which the adoring wife's most ardent wishes fly borne by the strong, uniting pinion of woman's faithful and never ending love cheered by the smile of such a faultless being, the envious summer's parching heat, the ruthless winter's pinching cold, to her impart no pang: they pass unhedeed by her well defined head lights the fleecycloud, unregarded as zephyr's hlamy breath; Supported by his manly form, i . wnai sorrow can assau, wnai anxious care invade her bosom calm repose! Serene as the smooth surface of the glassy lake, unruffled by the storm's rude blasts, her peaceful hours speed on pleasure's wing. How beautiful is such a union ! How much more rare than beautiful! Oh! 'tis a sight that angles might delight to fix their lingering gaze upon, lost in mute raptui? and admiring awe.

A blind man being called upon to judge of the qualities of a horse that a jockey was disposing of, after hearing him move, pronounced hun to be blind. Upon examination, this was found to be a fact, althougd it then had escaped the notice of the men of vision. Inquiry was made of the sightless man how he knew the horse to be blind; to which he replied, "From the sound of his foot upon the earth, which denoted a cautious step." A woman of excellent sense and somewas a good kind ot a man, but so very singular. " Well," replied the lady, "so much the better; if he is very much unlike other men, he is more likely to make a good husband." Dost. Trons. A person very fond of playing at nine pins, and who when excited was rather apt to sputter out with great vehemence any thing which came uppermost in his mind, fell asleep one day in meeting, when all at once he bawled nut loud enough to 6tun the whole congregation, "I'll be tc totally condemned if they aint all downno two ways about that set v.v vr.

Loss of Character. A respectable far

mer in Ross-shire, traveilinir a short distnce on horse back having occasion to cross the river Coitan, found oil the stream a young woman also desirous of getting across, bhe informed the far mer that she was in search of a situation, place. As the river was high, the good natured farmer took the girl up behind him on his hoise. and conveyed her over the water. Unfortunately. however, the written certificate fell out of the young woman's bosom where she had placed it for safety, and was earn ed off by the stream. She was in dis tress at this mishap, till her kind con ductor assured her that he would give her a character; and his pledge he redeemed, on their arrival at a house on the opposite side, in the following brief hut pithy words: "Sept. 10, 1833. l nese certny mat tne nearer, reggy McKenzie, lost her character this day, while crossing the river Couan with me Andrew Monro." We need hardly add, that this very equivocal statement was given m perfect good faith and sin cerity. 1 he girl accepted it wilh ma ny thinks, but was soon afterwards con vinced that the honest farmer s word did not correspond with his intentions and that she required, what it vas difli cult to obtain, a new character. Charleroix says, that a savage, being asked by a French officer what he thought the brandy, which he loved so much was made of, gave for answer "It is made of women's tongues and lions' hearts; for when I have drunk of it, I fear nothing, and I talk like an anP. & H.

The terms are as favorable as those of any other Company; and all claims for losses, will be liberally adjusted, and promptly paid. The advantages of Insurance, to trading men, are so well known, that I consider it needless to say any more to that portion of our citizens, than to point to the above advertisement; that they may recollect they have those advantages at home. Those who are not engaged in business, do not seem, so readily, to perceive the advantages that might accrue to them, and will, probably, not generally insure their property, until we are visited by a devasting FIRE in our village.
