Vain), ON DEATH. - Wa come from nothing into life, a time We measure with a short breath, and that often Made tedious too, with our own cares that fill it, Which, like so many atoms in a sunbeam, But crowd and jostle one another. All, From the adored purple to the hairclotb, Must centre in a shade, and they that have Their virtues to wait on them, bravely mock The ru. ,, ed storms that so much fright them here, When their soul's launched by death into a sea That's ever calm. Hark ! how chimes the passing bell There's no music to a knell All the other sounds we hear , - Flatter, and but cheat the ear. This doth put us still in mind That our flesh must be resign'd, And, a general silence made, The world be muffled in a shade. Orpheus' lute, as poets tell, V'as but moral to this bell, And the captive soul was she Which they call Euridice, Rescued by our holy groan, A loud echo"to this tone. Ile that on his pillow lies. Fear embalmed, before he dies, Carries, like a sheep, his life To the sacrificer's knife. Why come ye to the place of prayer With jewels in your braided hair ? And wherefore is the house of God By glittering feet profanely trod ; As if. vain things, ye came to keep Some festival, and not to weep 7 Oh ! prostrate weep before that Lord Of earth and heaven, of life and death, 'Who blights the fairest with a word, And blasts the mightiest with a breath ! Go 'tis not thus in proud array Such sinful souls should dare to pray. Vainly to anger'd Heaven ye raise Luxurious hands where diamonds blaze ; And she, who comes in broidered veil To weep her frailty, still is frail. VARIETIES. In the gray of the Sunday morning, at the sound of the tatitin-bell, the gin temples open wide their portals to all corners. 'lime was when yin was to be found only in bye-lanes and blind alleys—in dirty obscure holes, y'clep'd dram-shops; but now, thanks to an enlightened and paternal government, gin is be come a giant denn-god—a mighty spirit dwelling in gaudy gold beplastered temples, erected to his honour in every street, and worshipped by countless thousands, who daily sacrifice at his shrine their health, their strength, their money, their minds, their bodies, wives, children, sacred home, and liberty. Jag ger'naut is but a fool to him !—for the devotees of Jaggernaut .do but put themselves in the way of being crushed to death beneath his chariot-wheels, and are put out of their misery at once ;—but the devotees of the Great Spirit Gin devote them selves to lingering misery ;--for his sake they are contented to drag on a degraded, nasty existence—to see their children pine, dwindle, and famish; to steep themselves in poverty to the very lips, and die at last poor, sneaking, beadle-kicked, gruel swollen paupers! Sunday is especially devoted to the worship of this great spirit; and when the early Sabbath bells announce the arrival of that day, then do the lower orders' begin to shake off the beery slumbers of the midnight pay-table, and wander forth in.maudlin unwashed multitudes to the temples of the Great Spirit Gin; and there, Sir, you may see them, the ancient and the infant of a span long—old men and maidens, .gransires and grandams, fathers anu mothers, husbands, wives, and children, crowding and ,jostling like so many maggots in a grease-pot,' and sucking in the portions of the spirit which the haunting priestesses of the temple dole out to them in re turn for their copper offerings. * * * * There has been much carping at the barbers fur opening their shops on a Sunday ; against which carping we hereby enter our protest ; for what a cruel thing it would be to debar the barber from shaving a poor man on a Sunday, when it is a well-known fact that pour men are too stupid to shave themselves ! And even if a poor man had wit to shave himself, the purchase of a razor would take out of his hard earnings at least ten pence!—and perhaps, the razor would not last him longer than ten years, or thereabout; whereas the barber only charges him a penny a share—which, at twice a-week for the whole ten years, would not amount to more than four pounds she shillings and eight pence ! Besides, whilst one rich man in a hundred is too lazy to shave himself, and prefers having his nose pulled about by a barber, there can he no reason given why all the poor men should not indulge in the same cheap luxury. * * * * * • The raw,' cockneycally so called, is a sore place on horse or ass—an opening iu the hide which leaves the bare flesh and nerves exposed as a mark for the whip of the driver. Take •the following commentary thereon from the lips of a learned omnibus-driver on the Paddington-road:— You may take your oath there's nothing like a raw for getting the go out of a boss as long as there's any in him. You calla cruel ; but I'll just take and tell you how it is now—and I'll leave you to guess. Your buggy gentlemen and sich, they takes and uses all the high courage out of a hoss—very good. Then they sells him to us, and we flogs the work out of him ; but after a bit he gets whip-hardened, and worked down as it were, though its like there's plenty of go in him still, if we could only get it out. Well, then conies the use of the raw; and if the raw don't come natural, by the rubbing of the traces and sich like, why some folks will make a raw, with a bit of blister-plaster, or what not, (but I don't hold with that ere, for we shouldn't like it ourselves,) and its a mortal to see how you may get all the rest of the work out of a hoss quite sprightly, by whipping into the raw, till he hasn't a leg left to stand upon, and is good for nothing but the knackers' shambles. It may be cruelish, per- haps; but its all fair in the way of trade. We buy the hosses for the work what's in 'em • and we've a right to get the work out of 'em of course—or else what's the use ?* * * * * Lest you, gentle leader, should not be one of the initiated, we will, for your edification and future government, describe what a Torting paper is. A sporting paper is published only on Sun day, and very appropriately it deprecates all 'religious observ g.!lce of the Sunday; as cant and humbug; and it denounces all police officers as public nuisances and raw lobsters; but it patronizes the ' fancy, and flash houses, and propogates slang; it registers the genealogy of prize fighters and bull does; it publishes the challenges of these worthies, and gives full, true, and particular accounts of the grand slap-up fights' consequent thereon; and the state of the odds, as first blood' was drawn; also it keeps a register of the extraordinary feats' which celebrated horses' have by wet whip and bloody spur been encouraged to perform,- the number of shots fired and birds killed by the valiant Tomtit and Sparrow Clubs at the Red House in Battersea Fields—and whether the said birds were killed in bounds' or out of bounds;' and it gives notice of all the coining bull-baitings, badgerbaitings, and duck-hustings, and when they arc to ' come off,' and the state of the odds thereon: Finally, it resolves and determines all disputed gambling debts, ancrexpatiateth on every other matter and thing which can interest • sporting characters'—that is to say, bullies, bruisers, and black-legs. And, perhaps, gentle reader, you would stare if you were told that the pro prietor of the most police-defying, Sabbath'-decrying, betting, and bullying Sunday newspaper, is a worshipful magistrate of the city of London. But, nevertheless, such is the fact. In deed, there are but two of these sporting Sunday papers; and . the only one which constantly decryeth the observance of the Sabbath,' and denonneeth the police as raw lobsters,' is pre cisely that one which is the property of his worshiip the magic trate.---Cruikshank's Illustrations of a Sunday in London. CHARACTER. OF CaRRETT.—After speaking of Cobbett's "intimate familiarity with the father of lies," Mr. Hall adds —" •Ihese and such like extrava,gancies will be quite sufficient to satisfy the reader that he (Cobbett) is a popular declaimer, nova philosopher; a firebrand, not a luminary. lie emits fire and smoke in abundance, like a volcano; but the whole effect is to desolate, not to enlighten. His piincipal artifice consists is the exhibition of a few speciaas generalities, which he illus trates and - confirms by a few prominent facts, culled for his purpose, with,eit the slightest attempt at that patipt induction anlinquiry, which alone can lead to solid and useful results. Shrewd, intemperate, presumptuous, careless of the truth of his representatiims,and indijArent to their consequences, provided they make an i mpression, he is we'll qualified, it must be con fessed, by his faults no less than his talents, by his inflammatory style and incendiary spirit, for the office he assumes—to scatter delusion, to excite Insurrection—the Polyphemus of the mob, the one-eyed monarch of the blind."--:.Robot Hall's tract on the Frame-work Knitters' Fund. BBIRLZT. THE LIVERPO RETROG RADE PROGRESSION.—Irish children are proverbial for their ingenious replies. The following is not a bad instance of their ready wit. On a cold, frosty morning, ass unfortunate spalpeen was late in his attendance at school, when he was se verely reproved by the master. " Faith. sir," said young Pat, "it was no fault of mine at all, at all. The road was so slippy, that every step I took farrerd was two backerd." " Oh, you big blackguard, how can that be? If you- had walked that fa shion, you never could have got here by any means." "No more I would, sir, and so I played the road a trick. I turned my back on the school, and made believe I was going home again !" DAVID Il LIME AND HIS MOTHER.—HUMC, the historian, received a religious education from his mother, and early in life was the subject of strong and hopeful religious impressions; but, as he approached manhood, they were effaced, and con firmed infidelity succeeded. Maternal partiality, alarmed at first, came at length to look with less and less pain upon this declension, and filial love and reverence seem to have been ab sorbed in the pride of philosophical scepticism; for Hume now applied himself with unwearied, and unhappily, with successful efforts, to sap the foundation of his mother's faith. Having suc ceeded in this dreadful work, he went abroad into foreign coun tries ; and as he was returning, an express met him in London, with a letter from his mother, informing him that she was in a deep decline, and could not long survive; she said she found herself without any support in her distress; that he had taken away that source of comfort upon which, in all cases of afflic tion, she used to rely, and that she now found her mind sinking into despair ; she did not doubt that her son would afford her some substitute for her religion ; and she conjured him to hasten to her, or at least to send her a letter, containing such consola tions as philosophy can afford to a dying: mortal. Hume was overwhelmed with anguish on receiving this letter, and hastened to Scotland, travellin day and night . ; but before he arrived his mother expired. 'No permanent Impression seems, how ever, to have been made on bis mind by this most trying event; and whatever remorse he might have felt at the moment, he soon relapsed into his wonted obduracy of heart.—Silliman's Travels in England. A. story like this requires no comment. Thus it is that false philosophy restores the sting to death, and gives again the victory to the grave ! RICH AND Pooa.—The higher can by no means say to the lower with truth or propriety, "I have no need of thee ;" nor can tie lower retort upon the higher, " I have no need of thee." If the lower order occupy the ylace of the feet and hands, which execute the purposes of the mind, the higher occupy the place of the head, which is the seat .of counsel, and is necessary for the direction and preservation of the whole social body. Here we see how necessary both these classes are to the general order, and to the diffusion of peace and happiness throughout the whole. The higher classes must, on reflection, perceive that they are indebted to the lower for all they enjoy. "The king himself is served by the field." Those higher classes are supported by the continual machine of labour, which is going on among the inferior classes of society ; and were it to stop, it would tend to the stagnation, instead of the steady flow, of luxurious enjoyment among those higher classes. In vain would they retain wealth, if there were no hands to be employed, and, were no commodities of any kind presented to them, they would live in a state of destitution, greater than the meanest of their dependents, or they must apply themselves separately to those arts, each of which, in order to produce, in perfection what they value, is the business of a life. The pinnacles of the proudest edifice rest on a basis that comes into immediate con tact with the surface of the earth, or is buried partly under it, and is invisible; so, all the improvements of wealth, nay, all the distinctions of royal grandeur, rest on the industry of the poor, upon their silent, unperceived industry, working out of the view and frequently out of the contemplation of those who are most indebted to it. On the other hand, let not the poor say to the rich, "we have no need of you." That wisdom which is ne cessary for the good of the whole, is found in persons of exalted station. There is the mind that casts its eye over the whole machine of society, discovers its abuses, and aims to correct them ; the mind which watches over the execution of the law, gives birth to splendid examples, and refines and embellishes whatever it embraces. It comprehends the order of civil go vernment, and those principles whose operation harmonizes all. 'These are founded on wisdom, deliberation, and experience, and on the force with which public opinion arms those who are placed in elevated stations. Each of these classes, then, is, in its separate place, essential to the welfare of society; and the whole has for its basis the industry of the poor. The rich, en joyin..e. with moderation that affluence which God has put into their hands, without allowing their reason to be inflamed with pride and sensuality, and every one enjoying the good things of this life, at the same time preserving the power of meeting the exigencies of others, much more contributes to the healthful state of society, than the largest distribution of almsgiving, were such an exhibition of enjoyment and wealth to cease; and the poor, while only earning their bread "by the sweat of their brow," lend themselves to the diffusion of happiness and com fort over the whole.—Robert Hall. "On entering the gate of Athens, the scene which presents itself is extraordinary and painful. The flimsy walls of the mo dern town include within their extensive circuit one vast heap of mean and undistinguished ruins. Scarcely a tenth of the houses remain standing. Athens was the scene of one of the most terrible and prolonged conflicts in the revolutionary war, when the Greeks were besieged in the Acropolis by the Turks, ,who had possession of the town. This was utterly destroyed between the fire of the besieged and their assailants; in the Acropolis the Erectheitm was greatly injured; and the entrance to the Parthenon is even now choked up with the cannon-balls and broken shells which were thrown into it during the siege. So complete is the desolation which was then produced, that though, under the Turks, Athens contained about five thousand inhabitants, it cannot now muster above three hundred at the utmost. * * * * In the revolutionary war, the lofty and commanding fortress of Palamede, which overhangs Naupha, remained in the possession of the Turks some time after the town below had been wrested from them. Grivas, with a chosen band of followers, surprised it one night by a bold and well-con ducted assault, and threw the Turks headlong from the battle• ments. Instead, however, of delivering the fortress into the hands of the government, or holding it under them, he retained it for his own purposes, and defended it equally against Turk and Greek. Whenever it happened that he was in want of mo ney—an exigency of almost daily occurrence, he pointed the cannon of the fort upon the town, and sent down word that, un less an adequate number of dollars were returned by the mes senger, he should immediately commence firing. The charac ter of the man was well known, and the dollars wore regularly sent. Nearly the same trick is playing now in every part of Greece. The needy chiefs each seize the castle or fort which lies most within their reach, and refuse to surrender it to the officers appointed by government, alleging that they are keep ing it for Prince Otho. In this way Giavella has lately taken possession of Patras. While the chiefs are occupied in these irregular pastimes it must not be imagined that the soldiery are idle. On the contrary, they profit by, and improve upon, the lesson which is read them. They receive no pay from govern ment, for government has not a piastre in its coffers; and as an authority which does not pay its troops can never control them, they give themselves up to every species of military license. They pillage, they ravish, they murder; and there is scarcely a single one of all the abhorred crimes and cruelties of war, of which Greece is not at this moment the theatre and the victim." —Scenes in tireece. LOVE PROCLAIMED. (FROM THE' GREEK.) Love I proclaim—the vagrant child, Who, even now, at dawn of day, Stole from his bed, and flew away. Ile's won't to weep, as though he smiled; For ever prattling, swift and daring; Laughs with wide mouth and wrinkled nose ; Vl'ing'd on the back, and always bearing A quiver rattling as he goes : Unknown the author of his birth— For Air, 'tis certain ne'er begot The saucy boy : and as for Earth And Sea, both swear they own him not : To all, and everywhere a foe. But you must look, and keep good watch, Lest he should still around him throw Fresh nets, unwary souls to catch. Stay !—while I yet ani speaking, lo ! There, there he sits, like one forbidden-- And did you hope Us 'seripe me so-- In Lesbia's eyes, you truant, hidden ? TL/ E VOW. In holy night we made the' VOW ; And the same lamp that long before Had seen our early passion grow Was witness to the faith we swore. Did I not swear to love her ever.? And have I ever dared to rove? Did she not vow a rival never Should shake her faith, or steal her love Yet now she says those words were• air, Those vows were written in the water.; And, by the lamp that heard her swear, Hath yielded to the first that sought her. L STANDAhI). THE ENGLISH NATION IN 1695.—The following curious document is from a manuscript in the British Museum, by Gregory King, " Windsor Herald :"—Annual Income—Forty two millions and a half stirling, supposed one million less than in 1638. Taxes—Five millions, and he calculated that the war of that period could not be sustained beyond 165 without much improvement in the national income, or a general excise. The coined gold and silver of 1688 was reckoned at eleven millions and a half, but reduced in 1695 to seven millions and a half. In 1698 he calculated that the gold and silver coin would be reduced to four millions and a half,—viz. to one tenth of the annual expense. Less than this, he adds, would not circulate the whole. France was in this year estimated to have a popu lation of fourteen millions ; England and Wales, five and a half ; Holland, two millions and one fifth only. The total number of the poor of the kingdom maintained in hospitals and alms-houses was reckoned at 14,400, and their total expense for maintenance, £334,000; and with officers and contingent ex penses, £165,000. Worknouses for the palish poor are not noticed in this document. WORDS OF THE WISE.—" The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one Shepherd." The sinner's conscience may be asleep for a while, like a fierce wild beast gathering vigour; that being awakened by the hand of God at the approach of sickness or death, it may more implacably rend, devour, and torment for ever. If Christians will not love one another till they all come to the same mind, they may even lay aside that duty till they come to heaven ; but they who lay it side on that account, do not look as if they were going thither. The death of the body 'does no more interrupt the life of the soul, than the breaking of the chrystal glass destroys the sun beam that shined so brightly in it. There is nothing besides life, that is diminished by addition. To want prudence is, in some measure, to want virtue. Other griefs leave the mind strength to grapple with them ; but oppiessive melancholy cuts the very sinews of the soul, so that it lies prostrate, and cannot exert itself to throw off the load. The idle man is the Devil's cushion, on which he taketh his free ease. I will account no sin little; since there is not the least but works the death of the soul. It is all one, whether Ibe drowned near the shore or in the midst of the sea. _ Christianity teaches us to put the most favourable construc tion on every thing; to submit to evils which we cannot re medy; to repel their force by the shield of contrast.; to select the undeserved mercies which we enjoy from the deserved. ills which we suffer, and thus " in every th►ng to give thanks." A holy life has a voice. In more convincing tones, it echoes the instructions of the lips, which have already been as a foun tain of wisdom. Its eloquence never ceases. It speaks when the tongue is silent, and is either a constant attraction, or a perpetual reproof. THE LONDON PItESS. (FROM THE TRUE SUN.) We animadverted, as they say in Parliament, in our Paper of Saturday, upon the painful regrets and patri otic sorrow of the noble Chancellor of the Exchequer, upon finding himself obliged, after " subsequent consi deration" to abandon all idea of taking off the Whig-de nounced Taxes on Knowledge. His Lordship's " very sorry," is, as all he utters is, very frank and candid. He is very sorry to find himself in such a dilemma. He is very sorry that lie cannot hit upon more specious ar guments for inconsistency, prevarication, and disho nesty. Each sigh that escapes him is a peg (as the late Lord Castlereagh would have said) to hang a moral comment upon. His tears pay " angel visits" to his po litical sins, and blot them out as fast as he commits them. So fast indeed fall these redeeming drops, so freely do his eyes rain contrition, that his sight is dimmed, and his Lordship is unable to see even to the extremity of his own noble nose. But this system of blotting out as we go, has been tried by older sinners than Lord Althorp, with less ef fect than the all-lauded simplicity of his nature will admit of his conceiving. Facts are things far too stubborn to be washed out with a few " very sorry's," and inexpres sible regrets. While his Lordship is crying, the country is crying out. While he is lamenting that these taxes upon knowledge cannot be removed, the world is laugh ing to think that he himself had previously shown that they could. All sensible people are shaking their sides, or turning away their heads in disgust, to see his Lord ship, with a very lachrymose countenance, and many pro testations of sincerity, labouring to show that the taxes are still bad, but that it is good to keep them on; and insisting that there is no outlet to knowledge, though the direct road to which he was wont to act as a finger-post, is still visible to everybody but himself. (FROM TILE MORNING POST.) The innocent enthusiasts who expected blessings from the reform bill are very naturally clamorous for the adop tion of some of the promised ulterior measures by which the distresses of the people were to be relieved. The people, they say, did not want reform as a dead letter, but as an efficient instrument by which their condition would be improved. They had no abstract horror of Old Sarum, nor any romantic attachment to ten-pounders, apart rom considerations of practical utility ; but they loved and hated with a wise reference to results, and of these they must not be disappointed. They want cheap and good government, more trade and fewer taxes, and all that perfection of social blessedness of which the whigs said boroughmongering had deprived them, but which the heaven-born bill could not fail to restore. If the people procured reform for the whigs, the whigs were to procure prosperity for the people; this was the understood con tract. Well, the people, having done their part, now ask for the stipulated reward ; and bitter are the charges of ingratitude and folly which the late friends of ministers bring against them for not complying at once with such a reasonable demand. Of all the journals which supported the reform bill scarcely one is, by any accident, now pub lished which does not contain some merciless attack upon the ministry for disappointing the general expectation, so unusually evanescent has been their popularity. Now, although we humbly trust that our disapprobation and hatred of the present system are so intense as to be incapable of increase, decrease, or end, and although we live on the hope of seeing that system utterly consumed by the breath of public indignation, yet we must admit that even the Whig ministers may have hard measure by being required to do what is beyond their power. It is a sound principle in morals and in law that no man can be asked to do what is to him an impossibility, and we ate satisfied that it is not in the power of the present go vernment materially to relieve the distress of the people. Ministers are to be blamed for getting into office upon false pretences ; they are to be blamed for grievously in creasing the difficulties of the country by two years of agitation on behalf of a bill destitute of a single useful quality, and full of practical blunders; they are to be blamed for robbing us of a balanced system of represen tation to which the country would have continued to look up with confidence - but for their intrigues, and substitut ing one far less adapted than its predecessor to secure the ends of good government; they are to blame for uni formly sacrificing the permanent interests of the country, and even tht, integrity of the empire itself, to the tempo rary exigencies of their party ; for all these . and many other things they may be blamed : but we cannot bring ourselves to blame them for not relieving the public dis tress. .This, we say, is to them an impossibility, and against suc,ll a charge their utter and proved incompetence would be a complete defence. (FROM THE STANDARD.) The masterly speech of Mr. Matthias Attwood on Mon day, must render impertinent, on our part, any attempt farther to enforce those irresistible truths which the lion: member for Whitehaven inculcated with,so much power and effect. The triumph of Mr. Attwood's sense and elo quence was never greater than in his speech of Monday nigh!, which they who understand the Pr. ° Po l i . ' reading newspapers, will agree with us, Is d er g dandy proved by the efforts of the Times en 1 4' 1 _ 4 11 Chronicle to represent, as a failure, the P e t :, c oupt"' meat in question. Without, however, e", - n ret ° ,' track the ground so well beaten, we may v r , l o .- ce" a remark upon the attempted reply of the '; 0 1 1 . the Exchequer.

In 1 81 ',,fi1ie` proceeds his lordship, "we acted in ignorallee; of our conduct. Now we should commit ro v e r, s t ). ' our_ eyes open." It is not strictly true, bo w- ,h, s Parliament of 1819 did act in ignorance of its proceedings. The warmest admirers of a pij gold payments admitted that such return' t,/ i i)t affect the interests of debtors, though theY contemplate the degree of misery e r to impose.
