rom Mr Atlantic Souvenir. SONG OF A GREEK ISLANDER IN EX IEE A Greek Islander being taken to the vale of Tcmpe, and called upon to admire its beautiful scenery replied. "Yes, all is fair; but the sea, "Where is it," Where is the sea ? I languish here Where is my own blue sea? With all its barks of fleet career, And flags and breezes free ! I miss that voice of wave the first Which woke mv childhood glee ;

The measured chime the thunderiiigburst

The Spider A degree of the marvellous has characerised the

stories of the sagacity of this anima

simole exhibition of it. however fell

Under our observation some two or three days since which we will relate A spider of a moderate size. h?.d fortified himself within a very formidable web in a corner of our ofti v where he was suffered to remain for no other reason than his predilection for moschctoes His taste for vaiiety. however, was very soon developed. We observed him, a morning or two since, making very rapid preparations to attack an enormous Beetle, whose perigrinations had extended into his neighborhood The web was made fast to two of his legsat the first onset. Mr. Beetle, apparently not altogether satisfied with this fraternal hug" as

Randolph called the act of Nap le on's taking the Dutch into his keep ing bid him a good mor ning, sans ceremony, and marched off. carrying his chains with him ; in doing which, he had well nigh demolished the fortress itself In a tew moments, how ever, the Beetle repeated his visit In the mean time the Spider had repair ed damages, and was prepared for the reception of the formidable stranger.

The web was about eighteen inches from the floor. The spider precipita ted himself from it. but stopped suddenly when within about two inches of the floor. As this feat was again and again repeated, we have no doubt that it was an experiment to try the Strength of his cord. At length he threw himself upon the back of the 15eetle, attached the web to the posterior extremities and then retreated. 3Mr. Beetle's suspicion 1 the purity of the intentions of his long legged host, were now confirmed, and, apparently with no small degree of displeasure, he turned his back upon the spider, the frailty of whose web, notwithstanding his precaution, not in terfering in the slightest degree with the dignity of Sir Beetle's measuied tread The spider convinced that open attack Was altogether unavaila ble, resorted to stratagem. With rather an eccentric manoeuvre, he fastened the attention of Mr Beetle upon himself, and then commenced a retreat up the surface of a somewhat

rough ceiling. Whether Mr Beetle!

mistook this trick of the spider for politeness, under the impression that lie was conducting him to his castle, or whe-her it was a matter of sheer curiosity that induced him to follow his betrayer, we are not able to decide, not hearing distinctly what they said on the occasion ; it is sufficient that the decoy was sucessfnl Mr. Spider was vastly civil to Sir Beetle court language was ued on the occasion without doubt until they reached a point directly over the web, when, like another Roderick Dhu. he threw off his disguise and, in a trice, mounted upon the back of Sir Beetle, disengaged his feel from the ceiling, and they tumbled together into the web. With the rough legscf the

As soon as a man seeks his happiness from a gaming table, the midnight revel, and the other haunts of licentiousness, confusion seizes upon him as its own. What is innocent in itself, degenerates into a crime from being carried to excess ; and idle trilling society, is

nearly akin to such as i- corrupting; One of the first principles of order is to learn to be happy at home It is in domestic retreat that every uiso man finds his chief sa:i-fact ion. lie who knows not how to enjoy himseli when alone can never long be happy when abioad To his vacant mind company may afford a temporary relief; he will be so much more oppressed and languid Whereas, by a due mature of public and private lite, we keep free of the snares of both, and enjoy each to a great advantage. l!v little does he know of the true happiness of life, who is a stranger to that intercourse ol good r-flice c kind affections, which, by a pleasing charm. attach mento one another, and circulate joy from heart to heart. Piety and goodness ought never to be marked with that dejection which sometimes takes rise from supetstition ; but which is the proper portion only of guilt.
