Prom Ik AV ir monthly Magazine, A BEAUTIFUL BALLAD. Oh! lady buy these budding flow'rs. For I am sad, and wet, and weary; I gathcr'd them ere break of day. When all was lonely, still, and drear-; And long I've sought to sell them here. To purchase clothes and food and dwelling. For Valor's wretched orphan girls; Poor me and my young sister Ellen. Ah! those who tread life's thornless way, In fortune's golden sunshine basking; May deem my wants require no aid, Because my lips ere mute, unasking; Thev have no heart for woes like mine; Each word, each look, is cold repelling, , Yet once a crowd of flatt rers fawned. And fortune smil'd on me and Ellen. Oli! buv mv Row'rs. they're fair and fresh As mine and morning s tears could keep j them; To-morrow's sun sh all see them dead, And I shall scarcely live to weep them! Yet this sweet bui, if nursed with care. Soon into fullness would be swelling, And matur'd by some gen'rous hand, So might my little sister Ellen. She's sleeping in the hollow tree. Her only home its leaves her bedding; And I've no food to carry there, To soothe the tears she will be shedding. O! that those irourncr's tears which fall; That bell which heav ily is knelling. And that deep grave were meant far me, And my poor little sister Ellen. 'When we in silence are laid down. In life's last fearless, blessed sleeping, JJo tears will fall upon our grave. Save those of pitying Heaven's own weeping. Unknown we've lived, unknown must die, No tongue the mournful tale be telling, Of twe y oung broken-hearted girls Poor Mary and her bister Ellen. "No one has bought of me to-day, A'imI night is now the town o'crshnnng. At I tike hese poor drooping flowers, U "a t iced and nnwept am fading; My tMil is strughng to bevfiee h loathes its wretched c.rthly dwelling' My limbs refuse to bear their load Oh God! protect lone orphan Ellen.

ADVICE TO TIID LADIES. Ifou would be truly valuable, esteem not yourself chielly according to your money and lands, but on the grace of your pernor, and mind, read a little more, read morality, history, innocent poetry, and the lives of generous lovers. You dress well and have the telle air and mind be as polite in your language as in your dress, and learn to write a neat

style, I mean s uas to be able to write on all occasions, not as scholars, but as gentlewomen. As you are ingenious, a little application forms you good house-wives, but to improve the beauties of the mind and carriage will cost "no more. Mend both accomplishments together, and do not, as sonic be mutes and statues in company, or as others, perpetual drums. No longer be won by faces with . brainless heads to them, neither mistake a low bow tor pure good manners, nor a well-dressed head for quality, nor a fashionable coat for an estate; servile cringing for true love, nor a smooth tongue for sense. Above all, do not mistake wit for wisdom: and east a tender eye on him who has steady manly virtue, and prudence in his conduct, and gives fair hopes of his mending at heart i the main chance. The early pctroncss of Hums (Mrs. Dunlop, of Dunlop) had an old housekeeper, a sort of privileged person, who had certain aristocratical notions of the family dignity, that made her utterly astonished at the attentions that were paid by her mistress to a man in such low worldly es tate as the rustic poet. In order to overiconic her prejudice and surprise, her mis tress persuaded her to peruse a M. copy of the "Cottar's Saturday Night,' which the poet had just then written. When Mrs Dunlop inquired her opinion of the poem, she replied, with a quaint indifference, 4Awcel, madam, that's vera wcel.' "Is that all you have to say in its favour?' asked the mistress. "Deed, madam,' she returned, "the like o' you quality may sec a vast int't; but I was aye used to the like o all that the poet ha3 written about in my ain fathers house, and alweel I dinna ken how he could hae described it ony other gale." When Burns heard of tli-e old woman's criticism, he remarked that it was one ot the highest compliments he had ever received.
