Poetical

From the National Journal. TO A FR1KND. "Farethee well! and if forever, 'Still forever fare thee well."-Byron. Fare thee well! perhaps forever, If forever, fare thee well; Let thv fondness for me never Cease within thy breast to dwell. Let, Oil! let no cruel lover Charm the heart which I have won; Or, alas! oit'll soon discover, You arc lost, and I'm undone. Love! is but a gay deceiver. Winning smiles and then absenting; Wo. nan' but a weak believer, Soon its victim: then repenting. Love and Virtue both have win&s Honour, too, can flee away, Slander has a thousand stings, Beauty ivembks at decay. Envv hovers round the form. II itred aims its deadly dart; True aiTVction tends to warm Every fibre of the luart. Fare thee will, perhaps forever, If fnrever, fare the well; Let thy fondness for me never Cease with n thv breast to dwell. WASHING I'ON BAUD.

where tbe women are more com

pletely domestic, than they are in

our own: and none.where female

influence is more generally felt

i msisamost happy circumstance nd it affords a powerful argument in favor of female education. It is a trite, I know, but very important to remark, that when ladies are distinguished for domestic habits and virtues, their maternal influence is very oreat. They mould the heartland to a great degree form the under standings of the future fathers and mothers in our country. NV they, who have in their hands s great a part of early education. certainly ought to receive that cultivation of heart and mind, which would fit them for the dis charge of the very important duties of their station This is no easy work It demands skill and judgment, as well, as attention Surely preparation ought to be made for it, that it mav be done

well. Look at the majority of

girls of 18. in the country, and see what are their qualifications for a plaeeat a bead a household. But femaleinlluenec is not onl felt in domestic life; it reaches to every part of society. Every where it ought to be salutary Our ladies ought to be intellect ual as well as sensitive; intelligent as well as affable; frpod as well as pretty. No where, indeed are they more modest, more pure and delicate, than among ourselves: but if to these graces of the female

eharao'er. were added suitable mental improvement, the effect on the whole community would be most happy. A higher spirit of literature would pei vadeour state; and young men would spend that time in study, which now they waste in dissipation. A loftier tone of moral feeling wotdd be awakened, and we might hope to w itness he purity, without the extravagance of chivalry. Evan. Lit. Mag.
