The Maid with Bosom cold.
o
$T WILLIAM SMITH.
—o—
bF me they cry, I'm often told—
'See there the maid with bosom cold!
1 Indifference o'er the heart presides,
6 And love and lovers she derides;
0 Their idle darts, unmeaning chains,
6 Fantastic whims and filly paihs;
* In pride secure, in reason bold,
8 See there the Maid with bosom cold.'
Ah ! ever be they thus deceiv'd!
Still be my besom cold believ'd,
And never may enquiring eyes
Fierce thro' unhappy love's disguise :
Yet could they all my bosom mare,
And fee each painful tumult there,
Ah! never should I then be told
That I'm the Maid with bosom cold.
A fate severe my fuffering mind
To endless struggles has confign'd.
1 feel a flame I must not own,
I love, yet eyery hope is flown;
Too strong to let my passions sway,
Too weak to teach it to obey,
I agonife, and then am told
That I'm the Maid with bosom cold.
The joy o'er all my looks expreft
Conceals a bosom ill at rest; )
To balls and routes 1 haste away,
But only imitate the gay:
I jft at Love and mock his power,
Yet fed his triumph every hour ,
And loft to every bliss—am told
That I'm the Maid with Bosom cold.
Unable from myfclf to fly,
I catch each word, 1 read each eye;
Antonio comes—l die with fear,
Left others mark my fault'ring air ;
My eye perhaps too fondly gaz'd,
My tongue too much—too little prais'd ;
Suspicion's trembling slave —l'm told
That I'm the Maid with bosom cold.
With anxious toil, with ceaseless care,
Content and carclefs I appear ;.
And mirth beneath another's eye,
Alone 1 heave the hopeless sigh,
Hang musing o'er his image dear,
,ccl on my check th' unbidden tear,
And think, ah ! why Ihoulll be told
That I'm the maid with bosom cold?
The flower may wave its foliage gay,
And flaunt it to the gairifh day,
Unseen the while a canker's power
May haste its honours to devour;
And thus, while vainly round me play
Youth's zephyr breath, and Pieafurc's ray,
My fate unknown^ my talc untold,
Thus finks the Maid with bosom fold.

ANECDOTE OF3L4RSHAL TURENNE.
—o—
', It is well knO'Vn of Marshal Turenne,
chat h s true heroism, (for such it really
was) was only to be equalled by his solid
and manly piety, equally remote upon
the one hand from the tuperllitions of his
own age, and upon the other from tire ,
. nuli^rence of purs. In a court of gal
lantry, and in times when the p hit of
honor, (falfely so called) was preferred in
1 its full extravagance, the marshal was
' never known-cither to tight a duel, orfe
" engaged in an intrigue. The grace, the
- dignity, with which he once released iijm
c felf irum an embarraffinent of this na
, cure, will at once give an exact idea of
what he wat, and be a Efficient airier ।
ho the favourite question of the defenders
C of duelling—" how is a challenge to be
refufed?''—How is it to be refilled !—let
this anecdote of the -Marshal. answer
them..— cc A young officer of noble
* family, and in deSpite of what may be
thought from the part of his corona
which follows, of,real worth, imagined
himfelf to have received an insult from
- the Marshal, and demanded Satisfaction
in the usual forms. The Marshal made
no reply to his challenge, the officer re
puted it federal times, but the Marshal
(till maintained the fame silence. Irritat
ed at this apparent contempt, the officer
resolved to compel him to the accep
tance of his invitation : for this pur
pose he watched him upon his walks,
-nd at length;meeting.him in the pub
ic street, accompanied by twb other
eneral officers, he hurried towards him,
md to the astonishment and even terror
f all who few him, fpirin the Marshal's
ace. Let os endeavour to form some
conception of flip groffoefs of this infolr—
he object of it wa&the great Turenne—a
naffhal of France, arid one of the great,
ft generals which Europe had produced.
The companions of the Marshal started
jack in amazement ; the Marshal, his
ountenahce glowing from a sense of the
ndiguity, seized the hilt of his fword,and
tad already half unfoeathed it, when, to
he aftonifhmeiit of the fpedators he sud.
enly returned it into the scabbard, and
king'his handkerchief from bis pocket,
Young man,' said he, < could I wipe
our blood from my confeience with as
nuch case as I can ycur spittle from my
rce, 1 would take your life on the spot.
Go fir.'
•' Saying this, the Marshal retired in !
ill the majesty of triumphant virtue. The|
young officer was so much flruck as welll
vith his manner as with his virtue, that'
he did not cease till he had obtained the;
pardon of the Marthal. Turenne after- I
wards became his patron, and under fuchl
;predeceffor he became almost the rival
of his fame."
THE WIDOW AND HER SON.
A Papular Turkish Tale.
An aged widow had an only ton, who
epeatedly transgressed the rules enjoined
in the sacred koran, to be observed by all
r rue believers : he neglected the custom
ary ablutions, be gave no alms, and cat
meat before the liars appeared during the
)oly featt of Ramadan* ' when the gates
of paradife are open, and thole of hell are
(hut ;' he intoxicated himfelf with opium
and wine, and bowed not his body to the
omnipotent Allah,the maker of the world.
His mother rendered Superlatively un
happy by his mifconduQ,tried numbflefs
meinods co reclaim him without iff tt.
At last, with great difficulty she prevail
ed on him, when he committed a bad ac.
tion, to drive a nail into the wall of his
Chamber, and when he performed a good
rftion, to take one out, —ln a short time
the wall was nearly covered with the
narks of his guilt ; but the worst people
may become the best. Alter a long time
had elapsed he began to refrain from his
evil courses, and conducted himfelf with
so much propiieiy,that the nails gradual
ly diminished, and were at lalt all drawn
out ; of which circumstance he exciting
ly informed his venerable parent, who,
with the greatest coropofure addressed him
as follows.
" My son, said she, you have, it is true
dutifully attended to my advice, and en
tered into the pleasant paths of virtue ;
but be not too proud that the nails are all .

If we view the picture of man as
drawn by the pencil of nature, we (ball .
pronounce him innocent & happy. He
was elevated high in the Scale of being. -
He was made lord of this lower crea

garden, where he was farrounded with
emblems of virtue and innocence.
There was nothing todiffurb his nepofe.
The lion and the lamb were equally
submissive to hiscommand. The pow
erful leviathan was silent before him.
The image of his maker was so deeply
rimpreffed on his countenance, that all
nature seemed abated at his presence.
While man,was situated in this beauti
ful pofthre, the mod fruitful imagina
tion could not : have fancied his pfefegt
condition. The avenues to future mis
ery seemed then to be completely closed.
He could recline at pleasure against the
Shady trees. All around was calm and
terene. His wants were timple and few,
and for these nature afforded an ample

London, April 29. !
THE occupation of Flushing by the
French, and the march of so ma
ny additional troops into that country,
arises chiefly, we understand, by very
authentic private letters, from ah ap
peal made by the Batavian Govern- .;
ment to the Emperor of Russia and the
King of Prussia, from their interference
to prevent Holland from being involv
ed in the war between England and
France, Should war beahe refhlt of the
present negociatibns.• A request, we
understand, was at the fame time made
by the Batavian Government to our's
that their neutrality, in the eVent of
hoflilities, Should be refpe&ed. The
answer of our government was, we be
lieve, equally just and generous, viz.—
That the neutrality of Holland Should
readily be xefpe&ed, provided all the
French troops were withdrawn from it,
and that court left independent & free.
That the French troops will not in any,
case be withdrawn, we may easily con
clude, for so unanimous nbw are the
people of Holland, and so impatient and
indignant under the French yoke, that
the moment an opportunity presents it
felf, we believe they would to a man,
Sacrifice their lives in their last ditch,
rather than Submit again to French
fraternization.

MAY 2.—By the news from the Con
tinent we understand that Bonaparte
has adopted with regard to the Empe
ror of Germany, that tone which he has
of late been accustomed to with his de
pendent republics^ He has officially
declared that unless the Emperor Shall
within fourteen day; ratify the plan of
Indemnities,th^ First Consul would con
sider it as a De: oration tfWar, France
being resolved to have only friends or
enemies. If the Emperor finds himfelf
in such a (late as to be obliged to Sub
mit to so insolent an order from a fo
reign power, the continent is certainly
reduced to a most Shameful dependence.
Bonaparte however, were the politician
of any sagacity, must fee that the exer
cise of his in this manner is the most cer
tain method he could employ to Stir up
enemies and to sap the foundations of
his influence. France like Spain two
centuries ago, possesses an aicendancy
over the other continental powers from
her reputation, which her real Strength
does not warrant: Any inference there
fore which tends to excite her neigh
bors to refinance, haflen forward the
disclosure of her weakness and her con
sequent ruin.

they are forced to throw tbemfclves in

the only means of accompliflmig such
