From the Ma sonic Record, WOMAN. I know it well, they lavish loud And endless praise oa woman's worth, And, to her worship, must the proud Birthright which man holds on the earth And in the mind, be doubly bowed.

All this were well, were she the thing Her loooks beseem her; but away From the delusion! -I will bring I might bring thousands, but my lay Must not have limits thus to sing Hut I will bring one fact to say That she is false, vain, and uncivil , As the Grand Seignior or the devil.

If she but spoke, the accents shot Through every nerve; and then her look Not even a misanthrope could brook. An eye, bright as the antelope.

'Twas a lovely thought to mark the hours, As they floated in light away. By the opening and the folding flowers That lauh to the summer's day. Thus had each moment its own rich hue And its graceful cup or bell, In whose coloured vase might sleep the dew Like a pearl in ocean shell. To such sweet sighs might the time have In a golden current on, Mowed Ere from the garded, man's first abode, The glorious guests were gone. So might the days have been brightly told Those days of song and dreams When shepherds gathered the flocks of old. By the blue Arcadian streams.

It is the truth, that mankind arc not half sensible enough of the superiority of the farmer's situation in regard to happiness over every other class of the commu aty While the merchant, or he who li engaged in ective business is harrassed Tvith care and anxiety, their mind i3 as free as the air that meets them, as they go to their daily employments.

would in this respect, as in every other, follow nature the unerring guide of truth. Then, instead of cities being crowded with melancholy and disappointed speculators, every part of the country would smile under the hand of industty, and be filled with a healthful and happy population. From the Boston Palladium, MISS m'cREA. All our readers are familiar with the melancholy story of this young lady, as related in the history of our revolution. To this day her untimely and cruel fate is the subject of universal sympathy. Travellers visit the scene of her sufferhum. and drop upon her grave, the me morials of their tears. Her unhappy history has not however been fully and truly recorded. It is related of her, if our memoiy serves us, that she was betrothed to a British officer, at the time when Burgoync's force, to which he was attached, had reached, in their davmg expedition, the neighbourhood of Sat v ga. The country was full of armed n.;n, both cf the British and American armies, and every day witnessed scenes of carnage and combat, between their advanced post sand skirmishers. The lover of the ladv was stationed at Fort Edward, and becoming apprehensive of her safety, sent a party of Indians to her residence, Sandy Hill, only four miles distant, to convey her safely to the fcrt, promising to thctn a reward on their return. Some bouts having elapsed, he became impatient and alarmed at their delay, arid despatched another party of Ind ians (m the same errand, with a similar promise of reward. The former had succeeded in escotting her and her companion safely to a spring, under a pine tree, midway between Sandy Hill and the Fort, where they met tho second party. A contention, according o the story, arose between the two parties, for the honor and reward of conducting her to the Foit Jk the disputants becoming angry, was set tied by putting her to death, e?ch party throwing their tomahawks at her head, as she stood near the nine tree, It has even been pretended that the marks of the tomahawk were still to be seen in the tree. This account, as we learn from a! friend, who recently visited the spot, is chiefly fabulous; and to tho Indians is extremely unjust. Hut one party of In dians was sent for the lady, and they had conducted tier on horseback, to the spring under the pine, where they halted. At this momenta skirmish as going on in the neighborhood, and Miss M'Crea received a rifio ball in her side, fired at the party by some one of the American troops. She was mortally wounded, and the Indians, being obliged to retreat has tily, and finding her an impediment to their progress, tomahawked her and placed her under the tree. The Americans came up in a few minutes, and, a mong them, was Mr. Baker, who is still living at Sandy Hill, and who formerly knew Miss M'Crea. He" states that Miss M'Crea was breathing when he came up and the gun shot wound, in her side w?.s mortal. She was buried unde. the tree together with a young meri can Lieut., who was shot in the skirmish. The female attendant of Miss M'Crea is also still living at Sandy Hill, and her statements accords with this. Miss Janet M'Crea, is represented as having been very beautiful. According to Mr. Barker end attendant referred to, she was about 19 years of age. tall and well formed, with unburn hair, blue eyes and fresh complexion, slightly freckled About three years ago, her remains were disintered and carried in funeral procession by the maidens of the neighbouring country, to Fort Edward, where they were buried, and a monument erected over the spot. The pine tree is still a striking object, from its age and immense size, but the spring, which it formerly designated, is diiedup. FRENCH AT NEW ORLEANS. Yesterday everting, the Citizens of New Orleans, escorted by the Louisiana Lerion, and representatives ol till tne othes companies of our City, conducted Messrs P. Guiiole and A. de St. Maurice on board the brig Trent, bound for New York. These gentlemen were se lected by our citizens to carry to the National Guard of Paris the tri-colored flag, as a testimony of our respect for their heroic valor in the cause of liberty, and their jr.oderation in the chastisement of their oppressors. We individually wish these gentlemen a safe landing in the land of their nativity, ahd may their tit most wishes as to the situation cf France be realized. The following is a translation of the adJress that accompanies the fhg. -. 1 wTi-rTX." L. 1 13 ft 11 1 1 . Glory to you LlBEItTY heroic Deputies of France. , . (;;.ry to you intrepid Parisians.

Proud of having besti once under the nrotection of these no blc colours which you have so glorious ly restored, we have again saluted the flag of the great citian shining with the

new lustre you have shed upon it. It has suddenly appeared alongside of the Star Spangled Banner, and that double symbol of Liberty has been greeted by the acclamation of the people and cannon of our citizen soldiers: and we have celebrated your triumph over tyranny. We have said Let us choose two sons of France, and let us send them to our brethren let them carry to them that standard to which we paid due res

pect, and which has witnessed the tears ot nappiness flowing from our eyes. They will say the citizens of New Orleans and the Officers and privates of the Louisiana Legion send these colours to you; accept them as a proof of our respect, cur gratitude and admiration let them perpetuate the remembrance of what you have done (or the land cf their fathers, and for the whole hum&n family. ffZfllcrc folhvt the Signatures J A shamed of Christ, There is an eqmv iiing species of Christianity that d .-u vts to be branded with the deepest t; furr.v it likes the crown of gory, but slmnks back tn.rn the cross There is a half w y C h ist'un, w ho professes Chiist .h-n it cont'd s honour, but denies him w en it exposes him to shame; who acknowledges Chi ist when religion is popu ar, bi t is ashamed of him when it is despistr; who conlcsses Christ on the sabbath, a! the meeting house, and the sacrament, but custs him out ot his family and closet; v. ho owns Christ in the company of Christians, but is asham edofhim in the midst ot .-: '-adulterous and sinful generation."

Young men, for the most pan. arc but little awaie ol the danger which attends the beginnings of evil. No one becomes suddenly a bandoncd end pio;Tigate.

Nothinr is more obvious thtn this connexion between the beginning and the consummation of evil, and yt-i hardly any thing is more difficult than to convince the young of its reality. In en tering upon wrong courses they have not the least expectation or fcr.r of the dreadful issue. They mean net to p:o cecdbeyoml the point of safety, and they havtt o''oub ttuy can easily eflert an escape, whentvtr danger appears.: tut erctheyaie aware, they are arrested by the iron grasp of habit, and ruined fot ever.

From this summit the route proceeds down the valley of Licking, to ths mouth of the Locky fork of Licking, and thence across to the valley of the Tcmaka, down which it proceeds nearly to the junction of the Tomaka with the Muskingum.
