POETICAL ASYLUM.

THE HYPOCRITE. Wc can't help meeting now and then. With animals in shape of men ; Wolf-like craving, fox-like cunning. For ever watching, plotting, running ; Seeking as much as in their power. Their honest neighbors to devour ; To cheat the rich they arc often sure, And grind the faces of the poor ; Then to atone for these vile deeds. The) worship him who nothing needs. One of this class, in days of yore. Kept a convenient grocery store ; As many now a-daysare want. Hit parlour back, his store in front. One morning at the hour of prayer. Well seated in his elbow chair, His children seated, wife, and maid, His folio Bible well displayed. He to the store a 'prentice calls, Who answers him in lusty bawls. Jcr? John ! have you reduced the rum with waYes sir I guess about one quarter! Have you seen the sugar nicely sanded ? Tis done, sir, just as you commanded ! Is all the tobacco nicely wet ? Well as you'd no't yourself, I'll bet ! Then lay aside all worldly cares Shut the front door, and come to firayers ! MY LOVES AND MY HATES. I love the mortal who inherits A generous, independent mind ; The few whose own intrinsic merit! Adorn and benefit mankind. I hate the sordsr, selfish many. The cringing, servile, mean and base ; The tongue that lies to save a penny ; The knavish heart with smiling face. I love the man who feels indignant, When whispered slanders meet his ear, Who cherishes no thought malignant, But alms to keep his conscience clear. I hate the wholesale scandal dealer, The petty, sly retailer, too; I hate the reputation stealer. The friendship masked with heart untrc. I love the man whose noble spirit, Nur wealth nor power can debs.se ; In whose affections humble merit Is sure to find a welcome place. I hate the shameless ostentation Of hypocrites, and fools, and knaves ; I hate the thirst for adulation, The food of kings, and breath of slaves. In short, I love whate'er conduces To make us happy, good, or great ; Whatever in the mind produces A tranquil, self approving state. . 5-hate, whatever can degrade us Beneath the dignity of man ; Whate'cr dishonors Him that made us, Or doubts the wisdom of his plan.

The La'.in precept,' Let us live while live ,tf has been used with great diversity of application, according to the views and dispoiitiona of those who have had occasion to employ it. The sensual and gay hae considered it to ret on nend the dismission of cares from the ureast, that it might be prepared to partake, wiih-Mit solicitude and without restraint, the enjoyments of the passing hour; and the m:r'dltst, on the other hand, in accor dancv. with another maxim, that they enly tialy live who regulate life by reason and virtue, pronounces it toincul cate the necessity of Dreoanne for the night of death, while yet we may call the CVZc fa, the ,icen,ioU5 hiitafeor siEni&cMion attached to the prsc.pt, let wtetriikw live, by day our own. - . a mil . r .

For dinner 1 ate something of an opening nature, such yveek for a month or two, when I gradually left off my puddings and gruel, and was able to bear two ol three vegetables, with a small piece of beef-steak or chicktwo, (which I consider the best exer cjse in use,) or a ride for a few miles on ' ... - horseback, (which is the next best, pro vided you can get a good trotting horse.) i never allowed myself to cicsire any thine mere to eat after dinner, except half's slice of drv toast, with a cup of - - - j ' m rnilk, water, and sugar, until the next morning at breakfast; .nd following this .

In one of them a gentleman of unpopular politics was chosen hog-reeve by the sovereign people by way oi manifesting their disrespect towards him. When the choice was announced in due form, lie rose and thanked the electors for the honor they had done him, and raising his voice, added, "I now give you all notice that while I continue in office, no swine in ths town shall be permitted to evade the statute by merely walking on his hind leg ' Old Parr, who lived until the age of 102 years gave this advice " Keep your head cool by temperance, your feet warm by exercise, rise early and go soon to bed, and it you are inclined to get fat keep your eyes open and mouth shut." Journal of Health. A gentleman who was not overstocked with intellect, while reading the doings of our State Legislature, remarked that he "should not much like to be appointed as a standing committee man ;" ... i . s : i .i . . u said he, UI had much rather sit than stand, and who would want to stand up during a whole session of our Legtsla lure ? conscience, 1 would'nt." A learned writer in Europe says that the Millenium will begin in 1833, and continues the writer 'Those living in the time of the mil lenium, shall not die; but during these thousand years, shall produce an infinite multitude of children" 1 The rcks will drop honey; wine will run in streets, and the rivera ovetflow with milk. Coming to the Point. "Madam," said an old toper, "have you any water in the house, that you can give a poor man a drink of beer, though I like cider best, and should like a little whiskey. I very seldom get no cider at all at home ; my orchaid is very small consisting ot only one scattering tree. JV. T. Constellaticn. WOMAN. BY ADDISON. Women, in their nature are mucl more gay and joyous than men, whether it be that then blood is more refined their fibres more delicate, and their anima pirits more light and volate, or whether as some have imagined, there may not be kind of sex in the very soul; I shal not pretend to determine. As vivacity is the guilt of women, gravity is that o men They should each of them, thereore, keep a watch upon the particular bias which nature has fixed in their mind hat it may not craw too much, and lead hem out of the path of reason. This will certainly happen, if the one in every word and action affects the character of being rigid and severe, and the other, of being brisk and airy. Men should bewatc of being captivated by a kind of savage philosophy, woman, by a thoughtless gaiety. Where these precautions are not observed the man degenerates into a cyme, the woman into a coquette ; the man grows sullen and moicec, the women impermct and f&ntastical. By what I have said, we may con clude, men and women vcic made as counterparts to one another, that the pains and anxieties of the husband might be redeved by the sprightliness and good humor of the wife When these are rightly tempered, care and cheerfulness go hand in hand; and the family, like a ship that is duly trimmed, wints neither sail nor ballast.
