MAN AM WO.llAX. There is a moral depravity, a coarse icentiousness. in the nature of man,
that is w holly foreign from the female character; and of which, nothing is a stronger proof than the unvarying constancy willi which woman will adhere
to Ihe objectsof their early attachments, even after ihev excite nothing hut dis
gust in every other bosom. 31 in, on
the contrary, is seldom so perm inenily
attached, but he can turn aside and
dally, thieugh mere wantonness, with
any wandering waif who may cross his path; and tin; world only smiles at his
loll v. Woman shrinks with intuitive
diead from the libertine glance, and it
is only from man, never from her ow n
heart, that she learns to become, at
once, the object of his eager pusuit
and his soon". And no sooner does she loose that "immediate jewel of her soul,"' self-respect, than, to silence the sensitive conscientiousness of her nature, she plunges into the profoundesi depths of vice. 31 an is ditierontly af ft cted. A cloud may daikeii for a pe
riod his mental vision, but the first lav that gleams from the sun of prosperity, or ambition, or any other leading motive of life, w ill dispel the gloom, and lie proceeds in his career of business or pleasure, r.s if nought had occurred to d liken his moral horizon. A crushed heart, on which he had trod with a h'-cl of iron, may be sobbing away its list breath, in an atmosphere of pollution, aad he heed it not. "Why did she not respect herself?'' he ti iuphunth ask-, "and. then I would h ive respected her also.' The world echoes the sentiment; and the self condemned, self-accused wretch, sinks away fro n the cold sneer of attired virtue, to the oblivion of infamy; her murderer proudly stands in the hall of legislation, or the temple of justice and his sycophants point
him out as a godlike man. .M,s. l r. Bdl. A gentleman in Dorchester, 3Iassachnsetts, has within the last eightcc.i months paid his baker 500, for btead distributed to the poor.

the mind love to tuin bat k upon the scenes (hat are gone by. How often are the thoughts drawn, insensibly as it were, from the darkness of the future to the twilight of the past lo scenes that fiintly glimmer thiough the cold and sombrous lapse of days, and months, and years'. A pleasing melancholy comes over the full soul, as the green spots upon the deserts of life conn; up before the eyes of imagination, and ties us as those of first love hind us unconciously to scenes where once centred all our joys. Such are the remincsc ernes of childhood and youth; such are the pictured (ours upon the sunny surface of the past wln n every path
was strewed with flowers when the heart beats joyously when ail above was a cloudless sky and all around sunshine! If ever a man enjoys happi
