NATURAL AND MORAL BEAUTY.


Sweet is the voice that soothes my care,
The voice of love, the voice of song;
The lyre that celebrates the fair,
And animates the warlike -throng.
Sweet is the counsel Of a friend,
Whose bosom proves a pillow kind;
Whose mild persuasion brings an end
To all the sorrows of the mind.
Sweet Is the breath of balmy spring,
That fingers in the primrose vale !;
The wood lark sweet, when on the wing,
His wild notes swell the rising gale.
Sweet is the breeze, chat curls the lake,
And early watts the fragrant dew ;
Through hov'ripg clouds of vapours break,
And clears the bright ETHEREAL blue.
Sweet is the bean, the blooming pea,
More fragrat then Arabia's gale,
That sleeps upon the tranquil sea,
Or gently swells the extended sail.
Sweet rs t,re walk where daisies spring,
An cowslips scent the vernal mead
The woodlands sweet where linnets sing,
From every bold intruder freed.
But far more sweet are Virtuous deeds:
TIE hand that kindly brings relief
The heart, that with the widows bleeds-
And shares the dropping orphans grief
The pious band humane here rise
With liberal hands and feeling hearts
And chase the tears from sorrows eyes,
And bid each noxious woe depart.

THE present degradation Of Bonaparte
is an impressive example, how precarious
that popularity is which is not built on the
basic Of virtue. TO day he casts his eyes
around him ana calls. and thousands flock
10 his standard. He appears hike de3t'"y
embodied moving amongst mortals-pfosPe-
rity or adversely, happiness or misery, lite
or death, await but his word they are sum
rnoned forth by a smile or a frown, and he
acknowledges nc law but the impulse of his
own will. in the distribution OF blessing, or
curses, to his fellow men. lie speaks, and
q city is wrapped in flames he frowns, and
q continent is loaded with chains. lie
bends a glance on the Atlantic, and com
merce vanishes. But where is this terrific
being, who although unseen, is felt in the
eufferings of the human race who plays
with states, kingdoms, empires and contlnets
like dice. Behold him, in a sequestered Is
land. the outcast of Europe-shunned by
the wise and good, as an unholy thing q
mendicant pensioner on the contemptuous
bounty of a foe, content to hold his stipend &
his existence at his mercy. Behold him
shrinking from the resentment of his W
flatterers and panegyrists, and imploring
protection from his old enemies, the Cos
sacks. He who before seemed to hold all
Europe in fee simple, is elected from the
continent, and owns scarcely soil enough
for a grave. Thus ends the empire of crime
and sa~crilege-thus is Almighty Justice
indicated at last.

road leading from Martinsburgh to Win

from each place--it is about eighty miles
from Alexandria and eighty-fve from Balti-
more. This House has been occupied as
public stand for upwards of fifty years, and

phia and Knoxville--in addition to its being
nearly an equal distance between Martins
burgh and Winchester there are four other
important roads concentrating at and near
said house. This place has also the advan-
tsge Of being within one hundred yards of a
good grist mill, and within less than mile
of two others--two black smith shops,

also within one hundred yards of said house.
The building is large. convenient, and com
Portable, and the situation, with little ex
pense, can be highly improved water in
abundance within ten yards of the door

unnecessary, as it is presumed any person
wishing to purchase will examine the pre-
misses. The terms will be made known by
the subscriber, living near the property.
