POETICAL ASYLUM THE PROVINCE OF WOMEN. BY HANNAH MOORE. As some fair violet, loveliest of the glade, Sheds its mild fragrance on the lonely shule, Withdraws its modest he.ul from public stht. Nor courts the Sun, nor seeks the glare of h&ht ; Should some rude hand profanely dare intrude, Aud ber its beauties from its native wood, Exposed abroad its languid colours fly, Its firm decays, and all its odours die. So Woman, born to dignify retreat. Unknown to tlourish, and unseen be great ; To give domestic life its sweetest charm ; With softness polish, and with virtue warm ; Fearful of fame, Unwilling to be known, Should seek bat lie iven appla lses aud her own ; Should dread no blame but that which crimes, inpart, The censure of a sHf condemning heart.

to which the general opinion was op posed In this slate of the poblir mind, he made a visit to the Scottish capital, and being one day recognised walking on the north bridge or mound, be was surrounded by an immese mob who bustled him in a verj rude manner, and made prcpa rations to throw him over the para pet. Luckily he happened to have a considerable quantity of money in his pocket in the shape of notes and silver, which he had the presence o!

mind to throw, alternately, among them so as to divert their attention.

ned statement, relating to the reception of a Revolutionary Soldier in the city of Washington. A report is gaining credit in this Neighborhood that a certain Richard JScigle a soldier of the Revolution, residing in Cambria county, went to

Harrishurg, while the legislature held their late session and made known his wants, and his claims upon the country, to several members. That he was furnished by several gentlemen of both houses of assembly, with letters of introduction to members of congress ; and provided with money and clothing by their liberality : That he went to Washington city, pi esented his letters was aided by Mr Forward of the lower house, in establishing his just demand upon his country for a pension ; that owing to some trifling circumstance he Was unable to sustain his claim, al

naveu oincrwise in a very riotous manner. At length the provo-t fearing they would proceed to extrcmi ties, came out and addressed them on the duties of hospitality, and on the ancient and uniform character of the Scots for the exercise of that virtue , and concluded by raving, that he himself would prefer falling a victim to their fury, rather than elect anv person who had sought the asylum of his room" Tus was an appeal which no Scotchman could withstand, more particularly as it came from a man whose amenity of char actcr. and mild disposition hod. rendered him generally beloved.
