This hostility between parties has broken
out at an unlucky momenf, time bor-

A SWISS LAW SUIT.

In one Of the vailies near Mont BlaDc,
Frantz went one evening to Gaspard, who
was turning his hay, and sa d, my friend,
the time is come to get up this hay-you
know there is aispu,e about this meadow,
to whom il belong, YOU OF me; TO decide
the question, have assembled together the
appointed Judges at Salenche so come
along with NE tomorrow and State your
claims" "You see, Frantz," answered
Gaspard, that the hay is ready; it is there
fore absolutely necessary that should get
it up tomorrow cannot leave it,
"And cannot send away the Judges, who
have chosen the day themselves besides
we must know to whom the meadow be-
longs before it is cleared" They deba-
ted some time: at length, Gaspard Said
to Frantz--" Go TO Salenche, tell the Judg-
es my reason, as well as your own, and then
need not go myself" Frantz pleaded for
and against himself, and TO the best of his
power gave in his own claims, as well as
those of Gaspard. When the Judges had
pronounced their opinions, he returned to
his friend, saying" The meadow is thine;
the sentence is in thy favor; wish you
good luck with the hay" Frantz and Gas
pard have ever afterremained good friends.

THE WATER MELON.

THE WATERMELON.
rBy S. woopwoRTH.
Twas noon, and the reapers reposed on
the bank
Where our rural repast had been spread,
Beside us meander'd the ril where we
drank.
And the green willows wav' d over head
Lucinda, the queen Of our rustical treat,
With smiles, like the season suspicious,
Had rendered TIE scene and the banquet
more sweet
But oh the dessert was delicious!
A melon, the sweetest that loaded the vine,
The kind-bsarted damsel had brought;
It's crimson core teem'd with the richest OF
wine,
How much like her kisses!-l thought.
And said, as its nectarous juices quatf' d..
SHOW vain are the joys of the vicious!
40 tropical fruit ever furnished draught
So innocent, pure and delicious.
"ln the seeds which embellish this red Jul-
cy core,
An emblem of life we may view;
For human emoyments are thus sprinkled
Ger
With specks Of an ebony hue.
Bat if we are wise, to discard from the mind
Every though, and affection that'svicious,
Like the seed-speckled core OF the melon,
well find
Each innocent pleasure delicious"

most Insignificant figures. The honor oil
discarding those who never addressed
them, is frequently acquired by ladies
who understand the use Of the inviolable
secrecy of instant and unsolicited COM
muaication. and the proper exhibition Of
a reluctance to hear what no one has any
intention of communicating. Avoid those
ladies, my dear, who publish their own
conquests; they are far from being OBJ
jects of imitation, and much below the
envy of modest girl. If they say truth,
they manifest great indelicacy; but II
they only speak what is apparently true
they exhibit a disposition infinitely
| worse.'
Now, sir, have the greatest reliance
upon my mothers good sense and dis
cernment; yet wish very sincerely that
she may be mistaken, and that some la
DIV, experienced in the divine art OF &C
quiriDg lovers, by treatise upon the SUBJ
| isct, would undeceive my mother aud ln-
struct me; and show that the thing is to
be done without much beauty or wit, and
without a sacrifice of modesty, delicacy
or truth.
