<< Campbell's Pleasure of Hope," (which we un
derhand it in the press in this city arid in a
few days be published, with his other Poems) can
receive from us no eulogy, Jo justly warm as that
which a fmall,extract from the Poem must con
?vey to the facility of each reader. , PP
em greatly true to nature, which must cl^man
exalted feat in the memory of man, and live
verifier of time decays. The following are two
beautiful pittoesfrom the wdrk.
HARK ! the wild .maniac lings to chide the gale
That wafts follow her lover's didant fail ;
She, fad fpe&atrefs, on the winery (here
Watch'd the Ride surge his fhroudlefs corfe that
bore# ~
Knew the pale form, and, flineking in amaze,
Clafp'd her cold hands, and fix'd M mining
gaze;?
Poor widow'd wretch I'twar there (he wept in
vain
Till memory fled her agonizing brain ; *
But Mercy gave, to charm the sense ot woe.
Ideal peace, that truth could ne'er bellow :
W :m on her heart the joys of Fancy beam,
And aimless Hope delights her darkest dream.
Oft when the moon had clim'd the midnight Ik,,
Il And the lone sea-bird wakes its wllded cry,
Pil'd on the deep her blazing faggots burn
To hail the barque that never can return ;
And still (he waits, but scarce forbears to weep
That conitant love can linger onjhe deep.
And mark the wretch, whole wanderings never
knew
The world's regard, that sooths, tho' half untrue,
Whose erring heart the last of forroW bore,
But found not pity when it err'd no more.
Yon friendlefs man at whose dejefled eye
Th' unfeeling proud one looks— and passes by,
Condemn'd on penury's path to roam,
Scorn'd by the world, and left without a home—
Ev'm he, at evening, mould he chance to ilray -
Down by the -hamlet's hawthorn scented way,
Where round the cot's romantic glade are seen ( ]
The bloffom'd beanfiald, and the doping green,
Leans o'er the humble gate,and thinks the while—.
Oh ! that for me some home like this would (mile,
Some hamlet (hade to yield my sickly form,
Health in the breeze, and (belter in the ftcrm ;
There should my hand no dinted boon assign
To wretched hearts with sorrow such as mine;
That generous with can sooth unpitied care,„
And Hope half mingles with the poor man's pray'r.

r Portrait of a Hipocrite.
HIS afpe& mild, his manners smooth imd civil,
In words a very faint, in works a dt^il:
A canting tongue a&s the diflembler's part,.
While milchief lurks in his nefarious heart .•
Tromife he can, but never can be just,
Then Oh ! ye fair, "be cautious whom ye trust.”

FEMALE EDUCATION.

in the handfomed manner, "frL \
The exercises confined in spelling, reading, ex
hibiting specimens of writing, arithmetic, gram
mar including punctuation, and use of capital let
ters ; geography, astronomy and use of the globes.
In the geographical part of the examination,
the young ladies evidenced an exteufive arid ac
curate acquaintance with a number of the most
approved and ufeful maps ; nor did their knowl
edge of astronomy appear less extensive. The
magnitude, order.^motions and didances of the
heavenly bodies; with the causes of eclipses, tides,
winds &c. were all fanriliar to them. And here
, let foe add, that although every beholder was
highly pleated with these specimens of their know
ledge ; At they no leU charmed, by the modetly,
case, pblitenefs and decorum of their behavior.
Ina word, the whole of their conduct was such,
as reflected the greatest honor upon themselves,
their preceptor and their sex—Go on ye fair
daughters of feience, acquire more durable
charms, than those which nature has so liberally
bestowed Upon you—Persevere in the acouifition
of ufeful knowledge, which alone will rentier you
truly amiable, virtuous and happy.

Anger may glance into the breast of a
I wife man ; but refteth only in the bosom of

Censure is a tax a man owes to the public
for being eminent.
Men are generally grateful, in the fame
degree they are refentfal. ^
* Economy is no disgrace : It is better liv
ing on a little, than outliving a great deal.
Fine sense, and exalted sense, are not
half so valuable as common sense.
If men were to murmur and find fault
at every trifle, their whole life would be
'riothingbut a series of perplexities.
He is a good divine who follows his own
teaching.
It is easier to teach twenty what is good
to be done, than to be one of twenty to fol
low such advice.
If a man does me an injury, what is that

which causes him to do it ifliis ; therefore
