Select remarks, extracted from the 7crit.
ingS Of celebrated authors.
Let your first lesson with your chill
dren be obedience. The next may be
what you please.
Ifyou wish to make good will and
testament, let it be done in perfect
health.
! He who makes others afraid Of his
sarcastic humor, ought to be afraid OF
their memory.
| Genteness ofmanners, and soltness OF
| heart, are the most amiable characters
tics of a woman. Let man like the
strong oak brave the storm, and stand I'M
moved amid its rage.
There is one passage in the scriptures,
to which the potentates Of Europe seem
to have given their unanimous assent and
| appreciation, and to have studied so
thoroughly as to have it quite at their
fingers ends. There 7vent out de-
cree in the days Of Claudius Cesar, that
all the zvorid should be tarcd."
A beautiful woman ifpoor, should use
double circumspection; for her beauty
will tempt others, her poverty herself.
AS you value the appreciation OF
| heaven, or the esteem of the world, cul-
tivate the love Of truth. In all your pro-
ceedings, be direct and constant In
genuity and csndor possess powerful
charms. They bespcak universal favor,
and carry an apology for almost every
failing.
Diogenes being asked the biting OF
which beast was The most dangerous,
answered, oil you mean wild beasts, It's
the slanderers if tame ones, the fiat
terers."

FROM THE BOSTON cENT1NEL.

70 young Wido7o, on entering the circles
fashion, soon after the death Of her husband.
OLady quit the throng, and throw
Those gaudy robes aside;
Resume again thy garb fwo,
Nor vex thy HESRr's shade.
OLady think how late you hung
With rapture on his arm,
And listened to that voice, which runs
The peal of Loves alarm.
o think how oft you fondly met
The glance of that dark eye,
Which hash'd with love and dear delight,
Or beam'd with tenderest joy!
o think how oft, when griefentwin'd
Her cypress wreaths with Care,
Upon his bosom you reclin'd,
And sought refuge there!
And think how oft he warmly kiss'd
Away each pensive tear,
And to his manly bosom press'd
His WIFE forever dear.
And then thy smiles would bliss impart,
And softer scenes renew;
And soothe the throbbings of that heart,
Which only beat for you.
And can you then so soon forget
Those dear domesticjoys,
And bow slave at Fashions feet,
To court worthless prize;
And spread thy sex's wiles, to win
Another to thy arms,
To live upon thy smiles serene,
And revelin thy charms!
It cannot be.-Her injur'd right
Let memory resume,
And Danish those allurements bright,
To weep Ger HEsRr's tomb.
COST beside the marble stone, =
And with thy sorrows lave
The grass which scarcely yet has grown
Upon thy husbands grave.
And while Diana's pensive beam
Shines through the willow Dough,
Wildly lament the loss ofhim,
Who only iv'd for you.

IION.

Proposals for publishing periodical
Benjamin Lundy, of Mount Pleasant, in
this state--s intended to be devoted al
most exclusively to the subject of Airl-
can slavery and will be an active instru-
ment in the attempt to abolish that cruel
and disgraceiul system in the American
Republic" The zeal exhibited by the
proposed editor in his prospectus is a
pledge that the work will be conducted
with spirit worthy of the cause in which
it is undertaken. He has no doubt count
ed the cost, and armed himself with
all his patience" in anticipation of the
opposition he may expect to encounter.
The imhossibihty Of the attainment OF
his object will meet him at the thresh-
hold but the recollection how often it
has proved false when opposed to cou-
rage and perseverance in the pursuit OF
similar objects, may well prevent des-
pondency. Under the cover of this az
gument hypocritical self-interest often
conceals itself, and deters the well mean
ing from pursuing their plans of useful
mes. He that aims at reform will have
to contend with self-intcrest, ignorance
and apathy; and may labor long, APP
parently with no effect. 1t is not till af-
ter repeated strokes that an impression
is preceived to have been made on the
rock: it then suddenly falls asunder.

PORTRAIT OF A NEWSPAPER.

PORTRAIT OF A NEWSPAPER.
Wet from the press come to my hand,
Thou tell-tale of our busy land!
Whatc'er the clownish lout may do,
Or indolent and idle crew,
l will amuse myself with you;
And from your columns, fraught with treasure.
Draw instruction, mirtb, and pleasure.
On the first page stands full to view
What Legislative skill can do;
How legal COOLERS" show their worth,
Nith-Be . enacted, and so to,th."
Next advertisements meet my eyes,
Of First rate geldings," " Merchandise"
OF lawyers who will do their best
To put ltigious trays to rest
Of doctors of consummate skill,
Who cure diseases at their will;
And ardently desire to see
The world from all diseases free!
OF luckless husbands whose dear wives
tThey loy'd them dearer than their lives)
Have run away f their own accord,
u
Against their husbands inclination,
Without just cause or provocation;
And of wives, by stress of weather forc'd,
From ss.second selves" to be divorced;
With many others of less note,
Which 'twould be useless here to quote.
e'Mongst "foreign news" accounts are seen
OF Britain's chaste and modest queen;
For all that she can do or say,
For her, her subjects will not-pray,
(Hard-hearted wights y and furthermore,
Maliciously call her W;
Of "holy leagues" and tious Kings,
(Which doubtless are uncommon things)
Meeting to keep down sin bout Rome,
Then scud to keep it down at home;
How queasy subjects make their kings
Swear to support these hated things
Call'd constitutions, and the laws
Who straight grow hearty in their cause,
And rather far would lose their crown
Than let them be intruded on
"Domestic news" not much indeed,
But still there's some worth while to read;
Mssourians still swear they'll be free,
And die but they'll have slavery!
They hold this axiom true and fair,
Born equal all men doubtless are.
The Yankees, too, are still alive,
And buzzng in "the northern hire"
Inventing all things, more or less,
And " zvooden nutmegs" too, guess.
Here something comes with noise profound,
So loud, 1 almost see the sound
What can be all this racket for?
Bless me! it is PAPER war!
Ills the rencontres of the great
And master spirits of the state;
IIerculean strength, with Cato's ZEAL
Engaged far the public veal!
High in column, for zest,
An condiment for all the rest,
"A ragged follower of the nine"
Gives us his labored, notified line,
For reading which I've hardly time.
My business now comes to taper,
For I've got nearly through the paper;
I'm tired. reader, so are you,
So for this time bid y adieu.
