Lord Rochester, In his last illness, would
frequently lay his hand on the Bible. and
say, " There is true philosophy. Ia2re IS
the wisdom that speaks to the heart. A
bad life is the only grand objection to this
Book"
Sir John Eardly Wilmot, in letter to
his eldest son, expresses himself in these
words: " Let me exhort you to read with
the greatest attention both the Old Il New
restaments you will find your mind ex-
tremely becalmed by so doing, and every

HIM during the night, to his bedside, and
addressed him in these words: g Young

Our paper las been for some time past de-
voted almost exclusively to politics and
business. We hope now, the election
being well over, to have a little room to
spare for the more particular edlicaton
of the Ladies. We begin with the fol-
lowing article translated from a late
work Of which there are but few copies
III this country. by a Lady, whose taste
an' Judgment IN matters of this nature,
must give II an additional value. AS the
fair translator indisputably belong@ to

Her words their ancient ire efface,
War ceased his stormy weather,
And now both flowers, on Mary's face,
Blend lovingly together.
The following IS extracted from beautiful Poem
written by Henry KIRK White, Esq. on
SOLITUDE.
IT is not that my lot is low.
That b DIS this silent tear To flow
/, is not grief that bids me mourn,
x Is, that 1 am all alone.
IN woods and glens love to roam,
When the tir'd hedger hes HIM home
orby the woodland pool to rest,
When pale the star looks on its breast.
Yet when the silent ev'ning signs,
With hailow'd airs and symphonies,
My spirit takes another tone,
And signs that IT is all alone,
The autumn leafs scar and dead,
j floats upon the waters bed;
would not be leafto die
Without recording sorrows sigh
The woods and winds with sulIen wall,
Tell all the same UNMARRIED tale;
I've none 70 smile when I am free,
Aud when sigh, TO sigh with me
Yet in my dreams a form view,
That thinks on me and loves me too
start and when the visions flown,
weep that am all alone.
"To these mid complsinings of this sainted
bard, n reply. Characterised by the same tender
ness ofthought, and elegance Of expression, has
been furnished by the pen OF Mr.. Josiah Condor,

Still flushed with anger bloomed the red,
Still pale with rage he white.

Cried NJ ry," nothing 10th,
For know hencetorth mean to give

And now both flowers, on Mary's face,
