'S6 Vocal). WOMAN'S LOVE. 'Oo search the world and range It round. Its ev'ry pleasure prove, -And then confess no joy you've found. Like gentle woman's love. All else below, save only this, 13 fleeting and untrue ; And ev'ry other earthly bliss, But mocks as we pursue. . What's fortune / Ask the sordid slave. Who craves for wealth in vain, And what are titles 1 Will they save 1 Or mitigate a pain Ambition's but a meteor light, Which dazzles to betray; And he who climbs to learning's height, But mount* a slippery '4174Y. And who has e'er on man - relied, Nor found an empty heart 2 ! fleeting friendship 1 thee I've trivd. And knew how false thou art But when joys fade and faithless prove, And early lopes are past, 'Tis then the light of woman's love. 'ill cheer thee to the last. Around our path its beams are drawn. Dispelling gloom and strife. It rises with our early dawn, And only sets with life; — In youth—it is the sun at noon. That darts its fiery ray And Ohl it is the milder moon. When brighter hours decay. Then range the world and search it round. Its ev'ry pleasure prove, 'You'll then confess no joy is found. Unblessed by woman's love. ~T1~.~~:'7C'.~~;~. "Women," says Dr. Goldsmith, " are not naturally formed for great cares themselves, but to soften ours. Their tender ness is the proper reward..for the dangers we undergo for their preservation; and the ease and cheerfulness of their conversa tion, our desirable retreat from the fatigues of intense appli cation. They are confined within the narrow limits of domestic assiduity; and when they stray beyond them, they move be yond their sphere, and consequently without grace.' The true sphere of women is their home, their family, their domestic :love. It is there that women, the " Fairest gift of powers above ! Source of every household blessin,g," shine in undisputed excellence; and where all their never-too much praised qualities are of so superior an influence on their own happiness as well as on those around them. What is a home, what is the most perfect dwelling-place, without them, but forlorn and comfortless? "Simple nature," to use the words of the author of Tremaine, "certainly abounds in hap piness, for every one is made to feel it: the whole treasure of nature—the earth, the air, the sky, the freshness of the morning, the sedatives of eve, a walk with a friend, are all full of gratifi .cations; but if a mistress adds grace to the scene— . What pleasing seemed, for her now pleases more.' To 'cultivate, then, in young women their natural graces and those domestic virtues, talents, and habits, is but preparing them for their future .situation in life ; is assuring, in the safest may, their future happiness as well as that of their families. The higher studies, like the more independent pursuits, seem not to be made for them; and few women, even when in very independent circumstances, will derive from them the expected benefits. But to stipulate how far the mind of young ladies ought in general to be cultivated, would perhaps be presump tuous in any man; it is therefore with no small satisfaction that I am enabled to quote, with regard to this subject, the opinion of that excellent character Mrs. Barbauld, whose experience and judgment in this matter are above all doubts and praises. Young ladies,' she says, ought only to have such a general tincture of knowledge as to make them agreeable companions to a man of sense, and to enable them to find rational enter tainment for a solitary hour. The thefts of knowledge in our sex are only couuivect at while carefully concealed, and if dis played, punished with disgrace. lam full well convinced, that to have a too great fondness for books is little favourable to the happiness of women, especially of those not in affluent circum stances. My situation, having myself stepped out of the bounds of female reserve, in becoming an author, has been peculiar, and would be no rule for others.' Women of an elevated sta tion in life, and of independent circumstances, seem above all others in danger to forget, if not guarded against it by a very 'careful education, their true interest, their real destination and sphere in_ life; and often thereby heap upon themselves uncoil sciouely and unwillingly a heavy burden of discontent and -misery. To condemn, however, all literary occupations in women, is, I think, going too far. - Why should not highly gifieli women, as well as men, grace some hours of their exist ence by committing to paper their thoughts and feelings, when thie is done without detriment to those duties which their indi vielsal position and their sex may demand from them? I must costfe.ss., that the examples of authoresses working at their weer-le, making their own dresses, or caring much about their si a ssities or household duties, are not very numerous; but such examples are not totally wanting, and that is sufficient to prove the. injustice of those who declare themselves decided enemies a'ail.%ru.men that have become authoresses. For Wpmen, how ever, in general, it is very dangerous to embark in occupations su'aich seem not properly to belong to the calling of their sex; and this seems to be confirmed, as welt by history as by the Judgment of some of the most gifted and most accomplished of their own sex, who have left to us the written. fruits of their ,genius. If a woman, mentally or physically elevated above the general mass of her sex, forsakes her true. character— forsalces those qualities with which. she is so wisely and so abundantly gifted by our Creater—if, impelled by .an am bitious and aspiring mind, she succeeds to' smooth, and per haps to suppress, those kind affections, - intended for the solace ;and benefit of mankind—what is she, or what doei she become? What, when by a false ambition she is driven to pursuits totally in opposition to her destination—to her duty? That esteem in which I hold the sex forbids me to name her character. And Jet us suppose that she succeeds in all her wishes, or in all her :ambitious views, what are her triumphs, what her victories? Have they not justly been compared to those of a deserter, who has stolen away from his lawful .camp, and whose victories .are his disgraces? Does not ancient and modern history fur .uish us with sufficient proofs? What crimes have not been 'committed, even iu modern timekby women, who, after having 'entirely lost sight of their true destination, were checked in ,their:ruling passions neither by virtue nor by want of power ! Who can, without horror, bring back to his mind those diaboli cal acts and machinations which were planned and committed by princesses, such as Elizabeth and Catherine of Russia; 'Christina of Sweden; Maria Juliana of Denmark; Carolina o Naples, with hercenfidant Lady Hamilton; Charlotte.Joachimo of Portugal?—but let me not prolong a catalogue so disgust ing. All that hitherto has been said proves that women in .general seldom increase their share of human happiness, orf :struggle successfully with the vicissitudes of this world, except by respecting that order of thiugs which so wisely, no doubt, has been established, with regard to both sexes, by the Supreme Governor of the' 'universe. With regard to men, can they, in justice, be accused of presumption, or of exercising an arbitrary power, when such an order of things as above alluded to was established by a Power to which we must all submit? And are women gifted with fewer sources of happiness than men ? Even if Providence had inspired me with less confidence in the just distribution of her blessings than that which I profess to feel, even then I should be still inclined to doubt it. Do we men, poor creatures ! not feel enough already the powerful in iluence of the charms, so numerous and so superior in the 'other—the fairer sex? To what does our so-much-boasted-of independence amount? Is it not dissolved into mere vapour by a single glance' of a woman's eve.! Did *ere ever exist a man who never felt the power of tliese ecul-subduing looks ; or 'who was never led in chains by some dear member of the fairer sex? - Have not the greatest heroes, the proudest, nay evenTeroCious characters, been obliged to bow before the supe riority of the sweet and entangling charms of women —the irresistible influence of their softening powers? That wild robber, who is not checked in his -habits .by the severest l aws , nor by any fear of God or man, can he resist the idol of his affections, the girl of his heart ? Mast we not, and do we not' •eheoefully and thankfully acknowledge, that to women we owe the best, the happiest hours of our existence ?"-43-entarks on the Linited States of America, by Henry Dithring. A GOOD DISTINCTION.—A shopkeeper in Doncaster has, for ,some-time past, for his virtues, obtained the name of the little - rascal. A friend asked him the other day, why such an appel kition had been given him ?—" To distinguish me from the zest . . 14 4.tra 4 1e," said he, " who are all, great rascals." THE LIVERPOOL STANDAhD. IraLtaTic.-3.'he following is a translation from one of the hest Fables of ,this distinguished writer. Though something of the point and humour of the original is lost, it May be accept able to Euglish readers:— THE ABS AND THE FLUTE. As through a field a merry ass In search of thistles chanced to pass, A shepherd's flute forgotten lay Direct, by chance, in Grizzle's way, And as again he stops to feed, his breath, by chance, inflates the reed, Sudden, th' unusual sound he hears, Astonished Grizzle pricks his ears, And proudly said, or seemed to say : " Oh, oh! how well the flute I play I Will mortals still our music slight ? Egsd l I'll bray from morn 141 night." 310 RA.L. A fool, without a claim to wit, May once succeed the mark to hit ; And should success be crown'd with praise, Egough—the ass for ever brays. It is.not unusual for the emigrant on arriving in America to feel disappointed and dissatisfied, and many for a short time regret having left their native country. Every thing appears strange, especially to the warm-hearted Irishmen; he cannot forget the hospitality to which he has been accustomed, strangers and interested persons are frequently to be met with—the sce nery, manners, customs, and the language of a considerable portion of the inhabitants, differ from what he has been accus tomed to at home, and many are watching for opportunities to take advantage of his inexperience. To emigrants of the la bouring class would recommend a speedy application for work, and if it cannot he had in Quebec immediately after they land, they should at once proceed into the country, to some of the nearest settlements, where they will most probably sinl:ceed without any considerable delay. Let them, however, not re fuse the first fair offer of employment, as it is much better to be engaged; and in a short time they will become acquainted with the manners and customs of the people, their method of farm ing, &c., and if industrious, sober, and honest, they will speed ily get higher wages and certain employment. Public works are also carried on, such as canals, roads, bridges, and public buildings, in whichl many find employment and good wages, varying from half a dollar to three shillings per day without board. In the townships of Upper and Lower Canada, higher wages for labour are given than in the French Canadian settle aients near the St. Laurence": the inhabitants on each side of that river, all through Canada, and to the extent of five or six miles back from its north and south banks, are generally of French extraction and speak that language; for which reason, to the British labourer, many difficulties present themselves that are not to be feared among his own countrymen. There are many, however, that can speak English, and if the emigrant can obtain employment he should not refuse it, as he may have offers in the French settlements ; but it would not be advisable for him to seek for work among them, when the townships, which are inhabited by British and Irish emigrants, lie so convenient, being immediately in the rear of the French scignories. In a short time, the labourer will be enabled to purchase a lot or farm, which is easy to be had in all parts of the country; so that in a few years, he may, by sober honest industry, expect to live comfortably, and get forward in the world. When he once becomes the proprietor of a pieee of land, all his work is for his own benefit, no rent or taxes being to be paid: he has the full produce of the soil for his support; and the surplus he can send to market when and how be pleases, as he is not iu dread of the agent coming to distrain him for the rent, or the collector of the county cess, or the tithe proctor, with many other which are the daily visitors of the farmer in England and Ireland. It is this that makes the Canadian farmer feel really independent;—in fact he is the lord and master of his own estate, and many Oat have landed in Quebec without a pound in -the world, hive been able to realize by this course what is here re presented, and can now, from their having had themselves sub stantial proof of its reality, testify that it is not an imaginary picture, but one to be met in Canada every day. However, it is necessary to observe that the idler, the drunkard, or, the sedi tious, must abandon his vicious practices and habits, and iu fact become another man, before he can expect to succeed in Cana da :—to such it holds out no expectations of success; and many are to be met with who, while they have left their native coun try, have not, however, left behind them their former vices these were poor and wretched before they set out for Canada. and their condition has been little improved by change of coun try. How galling has it often been to the sympathies of a ten der-hearted emigrant, to recognise some old neighbour Telling.; the fruits of his misconduct, while chained to the stocks or un dergoing some other deserved penalty, notwithstanding a hope he might have entertained that the unhappy culprit had left home with full purpose of amendment.—Evan' s Emigrant: Guide to Canada. IMPORTANT ! ! ! MEETING OF TAILORS AT DUNBLANE. A meeting of the master tailors of the city of Dunblane was held in Kinross's Hall on the evening of Monday last. On the motion of Mr. Walter Bruce, Mr. James Bennet, merchant tailor, was called to the chair, who stated that he had convened the meeting in consequence of a requisition having been put into his hands, signed by the most respectable master tailors of the place, and that he understood their object to be that of an equalization of their charges; a matter highly desirable, if it could possibly . be agreed to. Mr. Kinnaird said that the charge made by him for making a coat, a "proper mathematically cut coat," was now 7s. 6d., but owing to the low wages of other tradesmen, the demurting of his customers, and the present price of provisions, he would move it be reduced to ss. _ • Mr. John Murray seconded the motion. Mr. Duncan M'Nee moved as au amendment, that the price for making " a full bodied coat" be 4s. 6d., which was seconded by Mr. Strang. Mr. M'Nee observed he never had charged more than 4s. 6d., and thought that for any man to charge more was an act of ex tortion; he would say nothing of the perquisites which fell 'to the share of some whom he would not name.—[Order, order, chair, chair.] Mr. WiNe,e was consequently called to order. The motion and amendment being put, the former was car ried by a majority of 10 to 6. Mr. John Bennet then moved that trousers should be reduced. from 3s. Gd. to 2s. 6d., and vest from 2s. 6d. to 25., which mo tion was seconded by the chairman. Mr. Duncan Dochart moved as an amendment that trousers be ls. 6d. and vest Is. He observed that the people of Dun blane had long been imposed upon by tailors and coffin-Makers; he would not be silent longer on the subject, it was perfect ex tortion. (Cries of " put him out ") Mr. John Monteath se conded the amendment. He said he had wrought at the needles for upwards of 70 years, that he had nothing which he had not earned by his own hands, although he believed that at that mo ment he could buy them all from the gallows. He had wrought for '2O years. for sd. per day; he had always returned every rem nant and clipping (alias cabbage,) and could now live ow the interest of his money. This speech created great confusion, and a deal of murmuring about interlopers, who took the bread " out o' honest men's teeth." Our correspondent adds (but he is surely in an erroilthai the meeting dispersed without coming to any thing but blows.— Stirling Journal. A MISER.—A poor woman, near Llandrililo, who has bean f or years receiving parochial relief, was lately taken ill, and the overseer's attendance required, who found her in a deplorably filthy state, covered with vermin, very ill, and without a morsel of food in the house. In a corner, however, he espied two boxes, the best of which he proceeded to open, but did not find anv thing in it; the old woman expressed a hope that.he was satisfied, - but not being so, he proceeded to open the other, which the old dame stoutly resisted ; he, however, succeeded in opening it, and found a prize of several guineas, half-guineas, seven Shilling pieces, &c., amounting altogether to the sum of £42 13s. 6d., besides a silver table spoon, which, from its colour had every appearance of gold. The overseer took possession of the treasure, to re-imburse the parish the money expended for he old lady.—The Welshman. At Carluke, on Sunday, a gallant son of St. Crispin made his elopement, taking with him his neighbour's wife. The lov ing couple are both married persons, and have left behind them large, families, the faithless dame having six children, and her gallant eleven, making in all seventeen children, and the hus band of the former, a respectable man, to all appearance lying on his death-led, and several of the children of the latter ill of the measles. The parties were both disciples of the How school, and we,re in daily expectation of receiving the gift of tongues. —Glasgow Chronicle. CHEAP MEAT.—A meeting was lately . held in Brighton, for the establishment of a society for obtaining meat cheaper than ' the prices at which it is charged by the butchers. 'inc plan proposed was, that two hundred persons should subscribe one pound .each, with which capital a shop should be taken, and proper persons employed, and cattle bought and slaughtered, and sold to the public at the rate of sixpence per pound for the best beef; the profits to be divided amongst the subscribers. There appeared to be some doubt of the success of the plan, and the tnectrug adjourned for a week without coming to any lied : sion. THE LONDON PRESS. (FROM THE MORNING HERALD.) The clergy of the Established Church in Irelatid—that is, a large portion of them—have petitioned the King and , the House of Lords against the Irish Church Reform Bill now in progress through the Commons. Our limits will not permit us to insert the petition at length. We there fore give a short abstract of its leading points. It begins with an expression of deep alarm at the na ture of the contemplated measure, which it denounces as Calculated to undermine the church in both countries. It disapproves of the absence of the church and parish cess, which it states to have been chiefly collected from the pro perty of Protestants in Ireland, and denies the right of the Legislature to alienate any portion of the church re venues from ecclesiastical purposes. The petition pro ceeds to deprecate the suppression of episcopal sees, as an encroachment on the spiritual privileges of the church, a preparation for its subversion, an interference with its functions, and a violation of the principle of dissolving unnecessary unions, though professedly adopted into the bill itself. w The next topic of objection is the appointment of an ecclesiastical commission, consisting chiefly of lay men—an appointment which the petition describes as in consistent with the independence and spiritual authority of the prelates, and calculated to injure, in various ways, the progress of true religion. After quoting the fifth ar ticle of the union, and representing it as violated by the bill before Parliament, the petition concludes by implor ing his Majesty to summon a convocation of the clergy, and accomplish, through their instrumentality, a safe and adequate reform of the church, without endangering its existence. Another petition on the same subject, from the clergy of the Deanery of Bristol, has also been agreed to. It concurs with the petition from Ireland, in recommending a convocation as the fitting medium through which the reform of the church ought to be accomplished. Many of our readers would subscribe to this opinion if the clergy had voluntary taken up the subject, but now the attempt would, we fear, have too much the appearance of compul sion to afford satisfaction to any one. The strongest point in either of the petitions is that which refers to the spoliation of church property; for all the more spiritual objections are but inferences, which will strike different minds in a different light. His Majesty's coronation oath is strongly insisted on in the petition from Bristol, as precluding the royal mind from giving assent to such a bill. It is somewhat curious that the tone of a petition from Ireland should be more guarded and moderate than the tone of an English petition on the same subject.— This, nevertheless, is the case in the present instance.— We do not pretend to account for the fact, but the fact is so. The Irish petition is to be presented to his Majesty by the Lord Primate, accompanied by the Archbishop of Canterbury, so that care has been taken to afford it all the effect with his Majesty which personal solicitation can lend to a public document. (FROM THE GUARDIAN AND PUBLIC LEDGER.) At length—after weeks spent in idle display and mi nisterial intrigue—one member has been found in the first reformed Parliament courageous enough to force the real state of the empire on unwilling ears, and to demand, on behalf of the poor and the distressed, an inquiry. into the extent and causes of national misery. Mr. T. Att wood, in despite bf bullying from without, and every spe cies of discouragement from .within Parliament, brought forward, on Wednesday_ evening, his motion for inquiry. It was resisted by the Ministry, it was scouted by their partisans ; but, upon a division in a house of three hun dred and fifty members, there was honesty enough}, or wholesale fear of their constituents enough, to, induce 158 to side with him, and leave the government with a majo rity of no more than 34. This result is a great triumph, doubtless, for Mr. Attwood, taking into account the diffi oulties he had to struggle against. - But for the country it will not suffice ; the country demands a searching in vestigation. Nothing less ought, and nothing less can satisfy it. At a moment when the incalculable augmen tation of public distress is threatened by the manner in which valuable interests like the West India and the ship ping are dealt with, and when the rights of property are scandalously sported with on every hand, the time has surely arrived when our accounts should be posted, and the balance of loss exhibited and fairly looked in the face. We have not space for a more detailed examina tion of this momentous question, and shall, for the pre sent, content ourselves with referring to a feW striking observations of Mr. Attwood, as follow : "There were 100,000 able-bodied labourers out of employ ment in the metropolis. There had been a change certainly in the construction of that house, but he found it was one from which the people would derive very little advantage. That very morning no less than 50 poor Staffordshire colliers came to ask his advice what ,they were to do. The nation was now in a position that compelled her to apologize for being kicked. There were nine out of ten men who had scarcely bread for their labour; and this frightful state existed in manufacturing, agricultural, and commercial pursuits. The situation of the shipowner was equally as afflicting; the ships in the Thames were mortgaged at one half their value, and he was prepared to prove two-thirds of the ships in the Thames were under mortgage. The great arm of the nation's strength does .not belong to the ostensible proprietors. Ruin, ruin, was the order of the day in the colonies, the East Indies, and throughout the British dominions." (FROM THE STANDARD.) The attack upon the borough of Stafford, like that upon the constituency of Liverpool, is a detestable precedent; but, extending our regards to the general interests of mankind, and of our own posterity in particular, this is all so much the better. It would be of extremely evil example if a Parliament, concocted under circumstances like those under which our present House of Commons assembles, should set any but detestable precedents. It is pleasant, too, that amongst the earliest victims of reform are the two constituencies that, in 1831; set the most flagrant examples of ingratitude amongst the towns and , boroughs—one or two counties, indeed rivalled their infamy. The Morning Chronicle, in allusion to the case of Stafford, remarks to-day that "when parliamen tary reform was first mentioned, the electors said it was very proper that there should be a reform, as they had heard that the electors of some other places had received twice as much for their votes as they did, and they ought to be put on the same footing." Our contemporary, we firmly believe, has here unwittingly recited the motive of most powerful and extensive influence amongst all that co-operated to carry the Reform Bill. The chandler shoppery had heard of bribes and longed to share in them. They who were, .like the Stafford reformers, already electors, were taught to believe, erroneously indeed, that corruption would be less frequent, and therefore they expected.that bribes would be higher. (FROM THE JOHN BULL.) Lord Althorp, as we once before noticed, says that the House of Commons is now just what it ought to be. The best part of the joke is, that nobody —no, not one human being, let him be of what party he may—thinks with him. The Courier says,— " The difficulty, we believe, is felt not only by ministers, but by all those experienced members of the House of Commons who are desirous of having the house made the means, not of per sonal notoriety, but or doing the work which irthe object of their assemblage. How this desirable event may be brought about we do not, at present, mean to discuss ; but public opinion grows stronger every day as to the necessity of adopting some plan that shall enable tie Mouse of Commons to fulfil the purpose of its assemblage—the transaction of public business. At present We have a talking—what the country wants is an a of Commons." The True Sun sass,— " The events of every day furnish fresh ciemonstro , rottenness of the ' reformed' House of Commons—of if .devotion to ministers, let them project what they utter Whiggishness—of its want of identity with 7 and opinion !--of its determination not to attempt tithe of the great work it was expecled by the nu to perform—of its possession, in short, of a lithe of the ministers that govern it—their weakness, their their arrogance." So much for. the people's parliament in its racter. Now for the individual characters of who compose it. in the course of the same find them thus set down : " But what we are particularly struck with in the the . present House of Commons is the more than ee' garity and swagger of its tone—its surpassing insol, dependence of all the common rules of courtesy, nay' cy, observed among men of any pretension to educatiel tlemanly habits."
