To a Friend on his Marriage.
BY ROGERS.
O, —0
N thee, bkft youth, afoher's bonctronfers
The maid thy earliest, fondeft wishes knew;
Each fond enchantment of the foul is hcr's;
Thine be the joys to firm attachment due.
As on foe moves with heficatrog grace.
She wins affurauce from his soothing voice !
And with a look that-pencil could not trace,
Smiles thro' her blushes and confirms the
choice.
Spare the fine tremors of her feeling frame !
To thee the turns—forgive a virgin's fears ;
To thee Ihe turns, with surest, tendered claim ;
Weakness that charms,reluctance that coders.
At each response the sacred rite requires,
From her full bosom bur Rs th' unbidden £gh,
A strange mysterious awe the feene inspires,
And on her lip the trembling accents die.
O'er her fair face what wild emotions play,
What lights and shades in fwect confufion
blend?
Soon shall they fly, glad harbingers of day,
And fettled funfhinc on her foul defeend.
Ah foots, thy own confeft, extatic thought !
That hand (hall drew each flinty path with
Bow'rs;
And those blue eyes,with mildcfl luftre fraught,
Glad the calm current of domestic hours!
—— _CTramraammffit-=

.IF I swear by that eye, you'l allow
Its look is so Drifting and new,
That the oath I might take on it now,
The very next glance would undo !
Those bable's that nestle so fly,
Such different arrows have got,
That an oath on the glance of an eye
Such as your's may be off in a (hot!
Should! swear by the dew on your lip,
Though each moment the treasure rent ws,
If my constancy wifaes to trip,
! may kiss off the each when I choose!
Or a sigh may disperse from that flow 'r
The dew and the oath that are there,
And I'd make a new vow ev'ry hour,
To lose them so sweetly in air!
But clear up the heav'd of your brow,
.Nor fancy my faith is a feather;
On my heart I will pledge J "U my vew,
And they muff he both broken together !

CHEESE CAKE CHARITY.
P ASSING the paflry cook's at Mar
-4 gate, in my way Home, I recogniz
ed, through the window, the piotite of
a lady's face, whom I had occasionally
met with in some of my fociahle winter '
evening parties.
She was taking her ice with a friend,
very comfortably, lolling half over the
counter, when a little chimneysweeper,
peeping in, entreated her charity.
"One halfpenny, please you, my la
dy, one halfpenny for poor footerkin,
to buy porridge to morrow morning—
do, pray do, my lady."
The lady's charity glowed to mani
fid itfelf to a few observers, for snatch
ing up a two-penny,cheefe-cake, she
hopped the luxurious treat, as the
tought it, into his extended, sooty
id.
he little grinning petitioner made
low bow as he gazed on it, but
not seem the fort of charity he
1 or solicited ; however, he set his
: teeth into it, and finifhed it in
. mouthfills.
low ridiculously bombastic, thus to
inder two-pence, the produce of
ch vanished in an instant, without
fatisfa&ion to the craving appe
; beside, the poor fellow only re
led a quarter-part the sum, to
1 for a bafon of rice-porridge at
of day, to warm his empty ftom
, he whittled to his labour with
ag and brush, while this happier
urtal was Numbering on her downy
pillow, insensible to the comfort of thia
anticipated mess..
"He ffon't be disappointed," said I
to myfelf, as I followed him.
"Sooterkih," said I, "dost love por
ridge, boy ?"
He grinned—shook his head.
"When I can get a'halfpenny," re
plied he, I always save it to bty por,
ridge ; and then of a cold morning.l
I don't mind turning out, when my
belly's warm, and my chilblains a'n't
painful.",
"And that mess makes you comfort
able ?" continued I.
"Yes ; and then I whiffles as merry
as a lark, and goes to work happy."
"Is it possible ?" thought i, fixing
an eye of pity on the little Have before
me. "Ah ! God, who could deny
thee thy homely porridge, after thy in
nocent avowal of its comforts ?—Here,
boy, take this (hilling, and be sure you
don't spend it in trumpery cheese-cakes
— lay it out in porridge, arid it will last
twenty-four mornings."
The child of misery blessed me with
the infant voice of sincerity, promised
faithfully to .obey my injunction, and
set off homeward in high glee, antici
pating the numerous messes he should
enjoy-,
This cheesecake charity, thought I,
was bellowed in the impulse of the mo
ment, ere reflection impressed the mind
with ideas suitable to the objeft, be
cause it was pampering an appetite
,Piofidenc: never designed to taste the
luxuries of life ; and therefore it was
more than probable, that the gout ci
such a dainty would render the gener
al fyfce n ofhis food hereafter more dif
gultin; and unpalatable than the little
hard faring mortal had ever befoie
Ithought it—so far it was a prejudicial
I gift, although the donor, no doubt
!would have contended that it was a
treat which his pocket could not well
I have afforded him, and therefore more
, kind in her to gratify his v.ilhful eye,
I and longing heart.—Twas, however,
a fyflem of charity I shall never adopt,
and though my Shilling may be spent
;equally idly by its simple polfeffor, yet
it was at lead given with a better in-
I tention.

Leonard Kennedy's Patent Win
dow Springs.
The great utility of the invention is
approved by all who have fetn it ufid.
By the affiflanceof this Spring, either the
upper or lower fafli is completely fatten
ed wherever you place it. It is impnffi
ble for a careless fervent to fliut down
a Window without its being completely
fattened.
The expence is so very trifling it would
hot be an ofje& with a Person in moder
ate circumstances. The Spring may be
set in old Windows as well as new, and
no fear of their getting out of repair.
No person but the Subferiber has any
right 10 use or vend ' said Springs within
the above location.
