From the Boston -a?. t.TVlNG PlCTUftD. THE WITC. Not that her youthful beauty woo tin name Tn! it was told how nobly and how well, With what untiring love and gentleness, Worth all the fleeting bloom cf beauty's dower. She gained the title Idol! upon whose spotless shrine. My early love iti intense poured Idol! in b n hood's Hush beloved, In manhood's sterner time adored Idol! for many a trusting smile In fortune's dazzling hour endeared Idol! fot many a struggling tear In fortune's darker hour revered Come, pillow nn thy husband's breast That heart forever dear to him; What if his pulse beat cold and weak! What if his fading eye he dun! Thine is tke touch to wake a joy Thine is the kiss to cheat a tear And thine the smile, oh! bless that smile His beacon light from childhood dear! Comfort and Jov! can life rrqmte The deep devotion of thy love! How shall th stricken eagle pay The faithful nurturing of the dove! Thoughts of long vanished years atsail Mv' spirit as oo thee it dwells And with a deeply saddening power Starts memory from her inmost cells. Ye. thouchtsof davs when bnumling Unpe Taught voung vmomuu uiunv, vw...., And Fancy's world gave hardly scope To him whose heart aspires no more. Dim, dim, and desolate d.th shine The limp within a broken lane; Wnste in the incense of the urn Oh' ne'er to be renewed again. Vet, stamped with flrm, enduring truth, Such as the lofty only ted. Though prostrate in its kindred dvist. The altar claims one votary still, Though all beside forsake the shi iuc, And deem its light of glory setStill clinps its dearest worshipper, And ministeis with fervor yet. from the Xtti York Mirror.

A few moments more t found me sitting by the side of a sweet girl, to whom, in the confusion of a crowd, much more numerous and daz zling than 1 had expected, some one had introduced me in so hut tied a manner as to leave each one ignorant of the othct's name, i iookcu at her she was a ve t . . nus. l danced witn her she was a sylph.

The village coquette had passed utterly from my mind, in the seducing loveli uess the simple, modesi grace the ex quisite air of elegance and proprietyi wmcn my cnarming acquaintance exniui ted At length 1 renumbered. 1 took tnv iraze ftom ber countenance, and locked around for the object of my lurin er curiosity. A supeibly dressed girl wis dancing near us; all her leathers, flounces, jewels blading, rustling laughing aloud with a head dress like a tower. She smiled on this gentlemanshe whispered to that she suffered a third to hold her hand, and a fouith to lie her shoe 'Yes,1 said I, to myself, 'this is Caro line 13 This is the tenor of our coun try swains Ah, what mistaken ide-asct beauty.

Her dess was simnc white htautifut, unspotted, snowy white. No decoration no tinsil no gaudy vulgar solicitations for tho crowd's attention; but rather a studied reserve, o classic simplicity, & natural grace and refine ment ol soul, had taught her those true elements of bcau'y which painteis spend their lives in learning. Iter tich haii was parted with a severe abs nee of orn anient, on a hesd (whatever MibS Caioline II might think) by far the most chastely beautiful in t tic roxim. Her mo dest eyes beamed with a tender Iceiing which made the heart ttemble; and the subdued and thoughtful txpiession visi ble in her cnuntcnance, resembled the melancholy smile ol an autumnal morn ing, which falls upon the mill earth fhro' a silver mist, at once as pleasing as hap piness, and as sad as sorrow. A ciea tore so beautiful I never saw before From that moment, I too, beiieved in tjtoken hearts Here wa9 Shukcspeate's Juliet, but where the Ilomeo? The thought made me torn in my choir as if I had trodden on an atlder. A moment alter we were called to the dance. Dance with me!' I said. I have refused three already,' she re plied. 1 said I wns engaged ' Our eyes met. If love evei fl .shed in a glance, 1 had kindled in the bosom of this angelic ctettuiea (lane like that which was burning every moment mure ardcntlv in mire. Our eyes met again. Wonderful, wonderful orbs, to be the srutce ot so much delight to be the windows thro' which so much heavenly bliss can be poured in upon the s ul. 1 took 'her hand as it laid upon hci knee. It was small, and white, and soft like nothing else in nature Not to prcis it slightly was as impossible as for the thirsty pilgrim not to chink. The pressure was returned A Hood of rapture rolled along my nerves. Surely some heavenly power led my steps ovei enchanted ground. Every look was lan guage. Every motion dcligljj every touch eloquence happiness love. 'You will not refuse rn ."' I drew hoi gently as zephyr kisses tho half opened Howcm, and even as they, with bashful r eluctance, unfold their leaves and b'.Cah to meet the light, so this radiant creature

yielded to my impulse, and I led hcKciiizcn has many other equally important

through a dance that seemed a drcamvyjutics to peilormtor the public good.

I grew bold and saury, and her lace was fl. shed up to mine with a perlect satisfaction, which told me my conquest was complete I'hedince was over and nn engagement with a friend hurried me away. 1 will see you to morrow, I whisper ed as 1 bade tier adieu. I strode along the Uoor like an errrteror, and in the height and glow cf Miv I triumph encountered the gentleman wV nad given me so tl uning an accout.t o the village coquette 'Well my boy, I exclaimed, I have hitherto neglected to be introduced to your wonderful MissB but I think I can meet her without danger "Meet her! replied he, with a look of surprise. Why, you have been bending over her entranced ati hour by the clock. Two or three here have been watchin vou ail the time.' The tru'h fi ts cd upon meI w-vall amazKi !ear horror.

Thrifty goes much farther than this philosopher. lie says, that every man ought, not otdy to build a house (if he need one) to plant licet, (especially frui; irtes 10 raise a lainny oi cni uicn, ana educate them well; but, that every good He ought, says he, to do every thing in his fiowcr to advance the cause of mora fry, religion and science, and to foster all such institutions as arc calculated to preserve and perpetuate the liberties of his country.
