--'Thc annoyance which we often suﬀer-srbmss
. the noc—mrnal cxcursions of itinerant camp
lms or MUs-lcx, is truly distressing. The
following imitation 'of the Scottish dialect,
taken from the Boston Amhology, must we
think, be gratisying to our readers.
Mr. EmTon.
CN a small estate, which descended
to me from my grand—sathcr, stands a siven
e-tahic mansion ; which is terribly lacerated
by the hand of time, having stood the hus
sctings of more than one hundred years.—
This cdifice, and all the surniture apper
taining, ! have ever esteemed too supct'an
nuatcd for my occupancy, and too sacred
for that of another: its doors have there
fore been long sulicnly closed, except to my
occasional visits; and these have recentiy
hecnvety stequent. I ostt-n ﬂy thither as
to a refuge srt-m the insipid and cnetvatir-g
rounds nf idleness and dissipaticn. Here
the drawing room is my sisavm'ite haunt :—
it was surnishcd in the tttte taste of 1660.
Several (icviccs in relz'eva, of exquisite
wmkmanship, adorned the csihimnt-y piece :
the hangings Were principally cntnposed of
Scriptttre pieces, samily paintings and he
raidry. Passing, however, over the prostt
sion c.-f anziquc lumher with which this a
partment is filled, I will oniy notice an an
cient couch, on which I used to recline, 80
years agu, with my old grand-dad, and bear
him, with vast attention, talk of the " re
guiars," and describe the battles of Bunk
er's-Hill, ssssMonmouth, &c. till I often fell,
involuntarily, into the arms of Somnus, and
left the old codger responding with the
crickets. He and his much honorcd spouse,
with the principal part of thsscir household,
having been long gisidthered to their fitthers,
and ] again reclined on the same old couch,
and in the same apartment, where, with
them, many of my intantiie hours were
passed away the awsul silence which
reigns forever here, and the natural retro
spection, which the mind take: on things
that wcre—espociially am—idst the obsoiete
lrappingstsshat surroun'd 'me, all contribute
{aﬄlme with sensations altogether under
Did ye but ken the pangs ] feel
To lay and list your cursed squeel,
Ye wad na glindss anithcr peal
_ Sat: harsh and deep;
.Butgang in pity to the dcil,
An' let me sleep.
Out on your m ise. ye blastit wight, .
That breaks my slumbcrs ilka night,
Grinding your umcs for very spite
Through thick and thin ! 1
Yc'd make a Christian swear outright
To hear your din.
There is na musick in your diu,
Nay, siic :. discord ye begin,
ssc jar the very windows in
Wi' tortured tune ;
To please the deil auld Orpheus played,
And {or his wise i'siddlin paid,
On dolphin's tail Arion rude,
'l'hc billows stripin,
Baith drew the oaks sme hill to gladc
By dint o'pipin.
Ismurder be a deadly sin,
Ye'll me it soon.
But isye heed nor prayer nor spcll
Am! winne stap that cronlting— yell
For a poor bard can sing or leH,
Ur ony boon ;
l'll try il brickbats can avail ' -
To change your tune.
Ispilgrimage to holy shrine
YVad stap your uuco glutiu whine,
Or souse ye in the Red Sea's trine
For aye to sleep;
Right soon I'd make the penance "mine,
And think it chcap.
But ye wed do thing greater still :
Your noise would cuown a water mill,
Ye'd scare the uoods and :plit the hill,
Ssixe great your power;
And any mortal wight ye'cl kill
ln half an hour.

sentimental tapture ()s \Vcstcr was sooching
to her pride. Albert's love had Siihs'ided
from the tumuit, natural when the new born ]

and the weak, unsaithiul wise believed, that ;

iill the dread other husbands return rouscd

the " determined voice of virtue," oblige
him to leave her. Posiziveiy, my young
siiend, my cheek glows with indignaiion,
When I think of this pernicious hook. l
feel no pity for any character, but the. wor
tfsihy and injured Albert. Had not Charlotte ,
indulged a weakncss of mind that would
have disgraced a boarding school miss of

placed passion. Had she uniformly met
it with the disdain it deserved, or forbade,
with the determined voice above aliuded
to, from the first, his visits, and refused e
very cssercd attention, pride: would have
aided the restoration of his reason : but,
when he sound she listened to his rhapso
dies, respondcd sigh for sign, dropped tear

sentimental cast; Who can wonder that the
grief, that a woman should be so weak, and
a man so ridiculous? Or do you weep over
(heir mrritcd suﬀuings? " Nuitcd !" ex

young friend, said l seriously, let us anasi

I am neither a cynic nor :: smic. Love and
