He is a great and self poised
character whom praise unnerves
not !; he is a greater one who sup
ports unjust censure-the greatest
is he, who, with acknowledged
powers, overlooks obloquy, and
turns to use unmerited censure.
The best kindness fproud men
hath often such a mixture of arro-
gance as to render their greatest
obligations ungracious to worthy
receiver.
That society is already corrupt
to the core, in which riches extern
uate depravity.
Money laid out by persons in the
middle class of society, 10 purchase
distinction is very unpro6tably en-
lployed. We live in an age when
splendid furniture and glittering
equlpage are grown too common
to catch the notice of the meanest
spectator and those in the higher
ranks only regard our wasteful folly
with silent contempt or open indig-
nation.
It is alleged by those who have
no relish for the conversation of the
fair sex, that their presence curbs
the freedom of speech and restrains
the jollity of mirth. But if the
conversation and mirth be decent,
1t the company are capable of rel
lshing any thing but wine, the very
reverse is the case. Ladies, In
general are not only more cheerful
than gentlemen, but more eager te
promote mirth and good humour,

A REToRr COURTEOUS.

An honest simple Irishman, a
short time since, landed on one of
the quays at Liverpool, in search
of harvest work--a fellow on the
quay, thinking to guiz the poor
stranger, asked him, I" How long,
Pat, have you broke loose from
your fathers cabin, and how do the
potatoes eat now?" The Irish lad
who happened to have a shelalah in
his hand, answered, so they eat
very well, my jewel, would you
like to taste the stalk ?" and knock
ing the enquirer down he coolly
walked off.

POETRY.
From the Boston Centinel.

The following is the e6asion Of a parent,
on committing the remains Of a child 10
The tomb, a fen days since
o DEATH with what unfeeling hand
Thou spread'st thy chilling gloom:
Day after day by thy command,
I'm summon'd to the tomb
To weep some friend, some kindred dear,
Whom thou hast sent 10 moulder here.
FATHER here rests thine aged head,
Which time had silver'd DER:
Thy frame, which iilisl duty led
My soul to love--adore.
How cold and mnte that lifeless tongue,
Where once the kindest accents hung.
MoTHERi here too in awful sleep,
Thine aged limbs are laid:
And shall then refuse 10 weep
To claim the stoic's aid
No MoTHER l will weep for thee:
How many tears thou shed'st for me.
SISTER and shall my plaintiye muse
Forget that thou art here ?
All, no, thy Wondering form renews
The agonizing tear.
o SISTER did love thee we'll;
And on thy virtues long could dwell.
Lo! there too little cherubs lie,
Some parents darling joys;
All! now | meet their halfclosed eye
They are my leveiy Boys!
Fond children wake and come to me
Thy NORMA long hath wept for thee
Alas! they hear not-yet they smile,
And sweetly seem to say,
" My father take us to thy arms,
And bear as far array
Sweet Babes such bliss is not for me!
ANOTHER BABE / BRING TO THEE!
Yes, DEATH another shaft hath flown
From tiny mysterious bow;
Thou heard'sta Mothers tenderest moan
Yet laid her MARTHA low.
The fairest flower in Flora's store,
Thy hand hath touch'd, it blooms no NOR
Farewell blest Shades the busy cares
OF life now call me hence:
My God o hear my suppiiant prayers,
Be thou my souls defence
When death shall aim his missive dart,
To stop the current oil my heart.
O.! then on wings of peace and love,
o may my spirit rise;
To join these friends 10 heaven above
To meet them in the skies.
There all is pure unsullied bliss;
One cloudless day Of happiness! E.

MISCELLANEOUS.
L.edyard, the american Tavel2er.

.Ledyard, the american Taveller
The testimony which this accu-
rate observer of human nature bears
to the universal beneyolence of the
female character is SO just, that it
cannot be too often repeated.
81 have always remarked, that
womenin allcountries are obliging,
tender and humane: that they are
ever inclined to be gay and cheer
full, timorous and modest; and that
they do not hesitate, like men, to
perform a generous action. Not
naughty, not arrogant, not super
cilious, they are fond of courtesy,
and fond of society: more liable,
in general, to err, than man, but in
generalalsomore virtuous, and per-
forming more good actions than he.
To woman, whether civilized or
savage, | never yet addressed my
selfin the language of decency and
friendship, without receiving a de-
cent and friendly answer. With
man it has often been otherwise.

of inhospitable Denmark, through
honest Sweden, and frozenLapla
