From Mrs. Hale's Jlazaiine. Till: SWEDISH cikl. "Previous to the departure of Baron tie Steal from Sweden, he was enamored of Ins second cousin, a beautiful girl, whom he had promised to marry ; but after the offers received by him from the Xeckar family, he wrote to inform her of the peculiar circumstances in which he w as placed, and that his union wilti a lauy wtioni he did not love, wouM be the means of raising his family from poverty and obscurity. His cousin, without any other answer, returned him las marnasre promise stained with tier tears, ami in seven weeks she was a corpse." "Even to paif.se on such a thought! llow could it cross his mind I Vain honors traffie'd for and bought, With happiness resigned ! And love like mine cast meekly by, At cold ambition's rail! My heart, be calm! why should I sigh! Tears, tears, why will ye fall! Tin; Swedish girl should scorn to stand 'Tween him and his adopted land. For him what could 1 not have borne, What woe or poverty ! And rich in love, have smiled in scorn-, When heartless wealth rolled by. I would have urgej him up the steep, Where hang the noblest crow u Honor may gain, or virtue keep An honest man's renown ! Soothed him when yielding to his toil, And brightened each success with smiles Yet why thus linger o'er a dream That my fond spirit bound, But lent ray soul no cheering beam To lisht the darkness round! Well be it so; I may not speak What stirs within my heart; The fettersd spirit soon will break Through all things and depart, Yr t 'twould he sweet again to ble?3 The olject of past tenderness! Ay, take thy bride, the gifted one, An I glory in her fame! And when, pervading in the sun, Her genius lights thy name, Forget, amid its dnzzlmg rays, How dim thine own appears; Kr thank upon the heartfelt praise Was thine in former years, When ir ingHng love and hope and pride, With her now coldly thrown aside. Ay, wed another wed the great! Gun wealth bit with it take! Soon shalt thou feel the galling weigh?, And mourn eac h glittering suar? That wiled three from thy plighted vow, From first and unfeigned love; And bade the to a stragkr bow, A stranger bointv, prove! Mad ness'. that one so love.d by mp, Should ever so degraded be! It may not be! cannot ask Earth's happiness for one Who hath imposed the bitterest tak, That woman's pride has done. I'll curse not. though I may not bless The idol of my youth, But, in my watcK of happiness, 11! prove unfaltering truth. And blotted thus with tears, return The piedge 1 would, but cannot spurn! And uch is woman's love! not even pride, That oft quells passion in its fiercest tide, This high-soul'd, injured Swedish girl could save, fair spring wove garlands o'er her carlv grave Movsa. A TALI: OF TIUTII. One pleasant evening in the month of June, in the year 17 , a man was observed entering the borders of a wood, near the Hudson river, his appearance that of .1 pet son above the common rank. The inhabitants of a country village would have dignified him with the title of squire, and from hi manner, have pronounced hira proud; but those rrore accustomed to society, would inform you, there was something like a military air about him. ilis horse panted as if it had been hard push e.A for gome miles, yet from the ownei'a frequent stops to caress the panting ammal. he could not be charged with want of humanity; but seemed to be actuated by fome urgent necessity. The riders forsaking a good road tor the by path leading through the woods, indicated a desire to avoid the gaze or other travellers lie had not left the hou?e where he inquired the direction of the abovementioned path more than two hours, be fore the quietude ot the place was broken by the noise of distant thunder. He was pooh after obliged to dismount, travelling becoming dangerous, as darkness concealed surrounding object9, except when the lightning's terrific flash afforded a momentary view of hi situation. A peal, louder ttnd ct longer duration than any of the J'teeding, which now burst over his head, seeming -rt3 if it would rend the woods asunder, wh? Ti,ckly followed by a heavy fall ot ram which penetrated the clothing of the stranger ere he could obtain the shelter ot a large oak which stood at a little distance. Almost exhausted with the labors of the da) h as about making such disposition ol Me ?.idle and his own coat a, 4VOajd enable hm to pass the night with wial comfort circumstances would admit, when he espied a light glimmering through the trees. Animated with the. hope of better lodgings, he determined to proceed. The way, which was somewhat eteep, became attended with more obstacles the farther he advanced; the toil being composed of clay, which the ram had rendered so soft that his feet slipped at everv step. IU the utmost perseverance, this difficulty was finally overcome w ithout any accident, End he had the pleasure of rinding; himself in front of a decent looking farm house. The watch-dog began barking, which brought the owner of the mansion to the dcor. Who is the i e?' said he.

'A friend, who has lost his way, and ia search of shelter,1 was the answer. 'Come in sir,1 added the first speaker, and whatever my house will afford, you ?hall have with welcome' 4I mut firt provide for the weary companion of my journey remaiked the other. But the former undertook the task, and after conducting the uew comer into a room, where his wife was seated, he led the horse to a well stored ham, and there provided for him most bountifully. On rejoining the traveller, he observed, 'That is a noble animal of yours, Sir.' 'Yes,' was the reply, 'and I am sorry that I was obliged to miuse him so a9 to make ii recessaiy to give you much trou hie with the care of him; but 1 have yet to thank you for your kindness to both ol

us. 1 did no more than my duty, sir said the entertainer, 'and therefore am entitled to no thanks. But Susan,' added he, turning to the hostess, with a half reproachful look, 'why have you not given the gentleman something to eat?' Fear had prevented the good woman from exercising her well known benevolence; for a robbery had been committed by a lawless band ot depredators, but a few days before, in that neighborhood, ami as report stated that the iufiian9 were all well dressed, her imagination suggested that this man might be one of them. At her husband's remonstrance, he now readily engaged in repairing her error, by preparing a plentiful repast. During the meal, there was much interesting conversation among the three. As soon as the woithy countryman perceived that his guest had satisfied hi appetite, he informed him, that it was now the hour at which the family usually performed their evening devotions, inviting him at the same time to be present. The invitation was accepted in these words: It would afford me ihe greatest plea sure to commune with my heavenly Pre server, after the events of the day; such exercises prepare us for the repose which we seek in sleep.' The host now reached his Pible from the shelf and after reading a chapter and singing, concluded the whole with a fer vent praver; then lighting a pine knot,! conducted the person he had enteitained ! to his chamber, wished him a good night's' rest, and retired to the adjoining apartment. 'John,' whispered the woman, 'that is a good gentleman, and not one of the highwavmen. a I supposed. 'Yes, Susan,' said he. 'I like him better tor thinking ot his God than for all his kind inquiries after our welfare. I wi-h our I'etet had been home from the aimv. if it was only to hear rti is mm talk; 1 am sure Washington himself could not say more for his country, nor give a better history of the hardships endured by our brave soldiers ' 'Who knows now,' inquired the wife, 'but it may be he himself, after all my near, for they do say. he travels just so, all alone, sometimes Haik! what's that?' The sound of a voice came from the chamber of their guest, who was now en-, gaged in his private religious worship. i After thanking the Creator for his many mercies, and asking h blessing on the inhabitants of the house; he continued , 'and now Almighty Father, if it is thy hoy will, that we shall obtain a place and a name among the nations of the earth, grant that we may be enabled to show our gratitude for thy goodness, by our endeavors to fear and obey thee. lless us with wisdom in our councils, success in battle, and let all our victories be temper ed with humanity. Endow also our enemies with enlightened minds, that they become sensible of their injustice, and willing to restore our liberty and peace. Grant the petition of thy servant, for the sake of him whom thou hat called thy beloved son; nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done. Amen.' The next morning, the traveller, dedining the pressing solicitations to breakfast with his host, declared it was necessary for him to cross the river immediately; at the same time offering a part of his purse, as a compensation for the attention he had received, which was refused. 'Well sir,' concluded he, 'since you will not permit me to recompense you for your trouble, it i9 but just that I should inform you on whom you have confened so many obligations, and also add to them, by requesting your assistance iu crossingi the river. I had been out yesterday endeavoring to obtain some information respecting our enemy, and being alone, ven tured too far from the camp; on my return I was surprised by a foraging party, and only escaped by my knowledge of the roads and the fleetness of my harse. My name is George Washington.' Surprise kept the listener silent for a moment, then, after unsuccessfully repeat ing the invitation to partake of some re freshment, he hastened to call two negroes, with whose assistance he placed the horse on a small raft of timber that was laying in the river, near the door, and soon conveyed the general to the opposite side, when he left him to pursue his way to the camp, wishing him a safe and prosperous journey. On his return to the house, he found that, while he was engaged in making preparations for convey ing the horse across the river, his illustrious visitor had rersuaded his wife to accept a token ot remembrance, which the family ate proud ot exhibiting to this day. The above is only one of the many hazards eucountered by this truly gteat patriot lor the puipose of transmitting to posteri ty the treasures we now enjoy. Let us acknowledge the benefits received, by our endeavors to preserve them in their purity; and by keeping in remerabiance

One Sunday morning some time before Burns commenced author, when he ;ind his brother Gilbert were gomg to the Parish . hurch at Tarbolton, they fell in company with an old man, a Moravian, travelling to Ayr. Ii was at that time when the dispute between the Old and New Light Burghers was making a great noise in the country; and Burns and the old man entering into conversation on the subject, differed in their opinions about it, the old man defending the principles of the Old Light, and Barns those of the New Light. The disputants at length grew very warm in the debate, and Burns, finding that with all his eloquence he coul J make nothing off his antagonist, became a little acrimonious, and tauntingly excl-uuv'd. "Ob! I suppose I have met with the Apostle Paul this morning'' "No," replied the old Moravian coolly, "you have not met with the Apoth; Paul, but I think I have met one of those wild beasts which he says he fought with at Ephesus." Ignorance. An honest farmer, dying intestate, If ft two infant sons to the care of his brother, who wished to know if he could act as his executor; he applied to a man of moderate abilities for information, who advised him to consult a Civilian. Having beeu brought into the presence of this gentleman, the following conversation took place : "Pray, sir, are you the civil viU'iin?" "Do you mean to insult me, sir ?"' "It is for that purpose I came, sir; my brother died detested; he has left two infidel children, and I wish to know if 1 can be their ex ecutioner I" HARD WORDS. A young clergyman, who had deliver ed a discourse in place of an aged brother minister, requested the opinion of the latter respecting it. 'O,' said he plainly, 'many of the words you uef were beyond the comprehension of your hearers; thus the word inference for instance, perhaps not half of my parishioners understood its meaning.' 'Inference, inference!' exclaimed the other; 'why, overy one must understand that.' 'I think you will not find it so; there's my cleik now, he piide'a himself upon hi9 learning, and in truth he ia very intelligent; we will try him: Zachariah, my brother here wishes you to draw an inference can vou do it?' 'Why, I'm pretty strong; but Johanadab, the coachman, is stronger thau I, Til a9k him.' Zachariah went out a few miuutes after the coachman, and returned. Johanadab, say?, he has never tried to draw an inference, sir; but he reckons his horse can draw any thing that the traces will hold.' Voung .Men's Advocate. The bridle. ,4My dear brethren," said a pastor lately from his pulpit, "never put yourselves into the liability of loosing your reason, Kea son is a bridla which has been given us to direct our passions.'' On the same day, the pastor got! drunk. One of his parishioners asked what he bail done with his bridle, "ooocl tditu," savs he, 'T have taken it off to drink." A gentlemen hearing of the death of another "I thought," said ho to a person in compauy, "you told me that Tom Willson's fever had gone off?" "O yes,'' replied latter, "1 did so, but I forgot to mention, that he was gone off along with it." .1 Younq Maiden's Logic. A puritanical preacher was one day struck with surprise on beholding a beautiful set of curls on the head of a lovely maid, a mem her of his class, whose hair had been usually very plain "Ah! Eliza," said he, "you should not waste our precious time in curling your hair; if God intended it to be curled, he would have curled it for you." "Indeed," said the witty maid, "I must differ with you. When 1 was an infant he curled it for me, but now that I am grown up, he thinks 1 am able to do it myself." A Xcw Establishment.

A NEW, CHEAP,

AND ijointtav Dmtrtural, Select Circulating Containing equal to Fifty Volumes for FIVE DOLLARS. PROSPECTUS. IN presenting to the public a periodical entirely new in its character, it will be expected that the publisher should de-cribe his plan, and the objects he hopes to accomplish. There i3 growing up in the United States a numerous imputation, with literary tastes, who Rre scattered over a large space, and who, distant from the localities whence books and lite rary information emanate, feel themselves at a great loss for thai mental food which education has fitted them to ei.joy. Books are cheap in our principal cities, but in the interior they cannot be procured as soon as published, nor without considerable expense. To supply this desideratum is the design of the present undertaking, the chief object of which emphatically is, tomake good reading cheaper, and to put it ia a form that will bring it to every man's door. Books cpnnot be sent by mail, while "The Select Circulating Library'' may be received at the most distant post office in the Union in from fifteen to twenty-five days after it is published, at the trilling expense of two and a half cents; or in other words, before a book could be bounct in Philadelphia, our subscribers in Ohio or Vermont, may be perusing it in their parlor?. To elucidate the advantages of 'The Select Circulating Library ,M such as we propose, it is only necessary to compare it to some other publications Take the YVaverly Novels for example; the Chronicles ot the Cunongage occupy two volumes, which are sold at $ '25 to $1 5U. The whole would be readily contained in thre numbers of this periodical, at an expense of 37 cents, postage included! So that more than three times the quantity of literary matter can be supplied for the same money by adopting tlis newspaper form But we consider transmi-sion by mail, and the early receipt of a new book, as a most distinguishing feature of the publication. Distant subscribers will be placed un a footing with those nearer at hand, and will be supplied at their own home3 with equal to about Fifty Volumes of the common London novel stze tor Five Dollars. This may not take fifty-two weeks to accomplish; for though not longer than one week will elapse between the issuing of each number, yet when there is a press of very interesting matter, or when two or more numbers are required to eontain a whole work, the proprietor will feel himself at liberty to publish at shorter intervals fifty-two numbers being the equivalent for five dollars. Arrangements have been made to receive from London an early copy of ever new book printed either in that mart of talent, or in Edinburgh, together with the periodical literature of Great Britain, from the former we shall select the best Novels, Memoirs, Tales, Travels, Sketches, Biography, tc, and publish them with as much rapidity and accuracy as an extensive printing office will admit. From the latter, such literary intelligence will occasionally be called, as will prove interesting and entertaining to the lover of knowledge and science, literature and novelty. Good standard novels, and other works, now out of print, may also occasionally be reproduced in our columns. Thp publisher confidently assures the heads of families, that they need have no dread of introducing the "belect Circulating Library ' into their domestic circle, as the gentleman who lias undertaken the editorial thitie?, to literary taste and habits, adds a due sense of the responsibility be assumes in catering for an extended and moral community, and of the consequences, detrimental or otherwise, that will follow ths dissemination of obnoxious or unwholesome mental aliment. His situation and engagements affords him peculiar advantages and facilities for the selection of books. These, with the additional chaunels crp.ited by agencies at London, Liverpool, and Edinburgh, warrant the proprietor in guaranteeing a faithful esectjtion of the literary department It would be supererogatory to dilate on tho general advantages and conveniences which such a publication presents to people of literary pursuits wherever located, but more particular ly to those who reside in retired situations they nre so obvious that the first glance cannot fail to flash conviction of its eligibility . I hllttia. i ne ceieci vircuiaung i.mr:iry wilt be printed weekly on a double medium sheet of fine paper in octavo form with thres columns on a page, and mailed with great caro so as to carry safely to the moat distant post oflice. It will be printed and finished with the same care and accuracy as book work. The whole f2 numbers will form a volume well worth preservation, of fc)32 pages, equal in quantity to 1200 panes, or three volumes of Rees' Cyclo paedia. Each volume will be accompanied with Title Pace and Index The price is Five Dollars for fifty-two nurc--Z0 00, and a proportionate compensation tor a larger number. This arrangement is made to increase the circulation to an extent which will make it an object to pay agents liberally. Clubs of five individuals may thiLt procure the workfvr $4 00, by uniting in their remittances. Subscribers living near agents, may pay their subscriptions to them; those otherwise situated may remit the amount to the subscriber at his expense. Our arrangements are all made for the fulfilment of our part of the contract. Subscribers' names should be immediately forwarded, in order to know how many to print of the future numbers. Editors of newspapers who give the above three or more conspicuous insertions, will bo entitled to an exchange of fifty-two number3.
