.AJNECDoTE OF BURKE.

On one occasion, Mr.. Burke's quick
sense Of indignity discovered itself by
fight. He had just risen in the House
of Commons, with some papers in his
hand, on the subject of which he intend-
ed to make motion, when arough-hewn
member, who had no ear for the charms
of eloquence, rudely started up and said,
:" Mr.. Speaker, | hope the honorable
gentleman does not mean to read that
large bundle of papers, and to bore us
with long speech into the bargain.n-
Mr.. B. was so swoln, or rather so nearly
suffocated with rage, as to be incapable
of utterance, and absolutely ran out of
the House. On this occasion, George
Selwyn remarked, that it was the only
time he ever saw the fable realized, a
lion put to fight by the braying Of an ass.

The wisest moralists have always en-
joined upon men that they should not
only bear, but seek occasional solitude.
This thought was once carried so far by
certain philosopher state prisoner,
that he reioiced he was inclosed by
walls, which kept vice out and kept him
in. Abroad, the mind, contemplating an
infinitude of objects, is distracted with
variety, and grows giddy by dissipation.
1t is at home we read with system, we
think to purpose, and, by the aid of the
pen, embody our speculations.
To those who hold the fretful Ian
guage Of the text, and impatiently wish
moist April away, the ensuing modes of
passing early spring time are suggested.
For the Lay Preacher thinks it possible
to provide useful and agreeable occu-
patton, whether it rains or SHOWS.
In the first place, he who in earnest
devotes any of his days to the culture of
hismind, win soon discover that, to search
into his book, andto examine his thoughts,
it is not necessary to look out of the win
dow. The company of the Muse is so
enchanting, that we cease to think of the
mere accidents of the day. Of such
visitant, the student may justly exclaim,
"With thee conrersing, forget all time,
All seasons, and thsT change"
Let him repair TO his shelves for book,
or trace his ideas on paper, and he will
not once ask the servant if the wind is
east.
Again--wet days do not, necessarily,
damp the generous and social affections.
The distressed may be relieved, the Gu
rious may be informed, and the stranger
courteously entreated, as well in bad as
good weather.
If they look eagerly even yithin
doors, many will discover objects more
interesting than the state of the atmos-
phere, OF the colour of the clouds. If,
sometimes, they cannot stand without,
they may enjoy many brilliant prospects.

tomato friends, and faithful domes6cks.
These are fine sights, and shew othe
same advantage in gloom as in sun

Lastly-one may pass dull day, sup
pose it should be Sunday, in moral and
even devotional exercises. have seen,
under frowning sky, many happy faces
at church; and have witnessed, both in
the storms of January and March, the
smiles of piety at her prayers. In hon.
age to the Creator, and in beHevolence
to his creatures, our hours, whether
gilded or gloomy, may most usefully be
employed.

TIE MaNIACK.

One OF those fIcurtlrss wretchcs who
go every where, and abuse every body,
went to Bedlam, and spat uron an unfor-
tunate being, who would not tell him for
what reason he was confined. The un-
happy man wiped his face, and replied,
!" Because God has deprived me of a
blessing which you never enjoyed."-
This affecting and severe retort has
been beautifully versitied; the two last
lines are the point.

POETRY.

F.ANNY-A new edition of this pleasing
little Poem has lately been published. Some
additions have been made to the original, and
we copy from the Evening Post the following
extract from them. This style Of yersihcation
has been but lately adopted by our English
bards although it has been common, we are
told, for a long time, among beth the French
and Italian poets. The easy negligence of
common parlance was thought to be incom-
patible with the formal and regular movement
Of English metre and Peter Pindar was the
first, we believe, who attempted to unite them.
Wordsworth and Hunt, with others Of the
q Lake School, have initiated him in his So
Der vein; and Lord Byron, in his "Beppo"
and . Don Juan,n has equalled, If not excel
led his humorous and lively satire. !" Fanny"
is an obvious imitation Of the last-named work |;
though it is free from the indccency and inf
deity Of some parts Of Don Juan, and lacks,
vithal, good degree of its attick seasoning.
But it win be seen, by the extract here given,
that the author is no common rhymer that
his verse is flowing and harmonious /; his lan-
guase equally happy in the expression of pa
thos and humOur; and his perception of the
tender and pathetick, the absurd and ladicrOus,
equally nice and discriminating.

AN EXTRACT.

One amiable female is rendered mis-
cradle for the evening, by seeing anoth-
er, whom she intended to outshine, in a
more attractive dress than her own
while the other omits no methods of Civ
ing stings to her triumph, which she
enjoys with all the secret arrogance of
an oriental sultana. Another is compell-
ed to dance with monster she abhors.
A third has set her heart on dancing
with a particular partner, perhaps for
the amiabIe motive of annoying one of
her dear friends; not only he does not
ask her, but she sees him dancing with
that identical dear friend, whom, from
that moment, she hates more cordially
than ever. Perhaps, what is worse than
all, she has set her heart on refusing
some impertinent fop, who does not give
her the opportunity.
1t is stated byRobinson, in his Memoirs
OF the Mexican Revolution, that in the
action Of San joan de los Llanos, the
Royalists, during the engagement, fred
dollars from their artillery. This fact
is accounted for by the deficiency of
grape-shot. Many of Mina's soldiers
were highly pleased in collecting this
species Of grape,

The public have been long in expectation
to hear ofthe successes of the United Liberia

iards having published that the expedition
had been infected with the plague, that Gen

SEES, mules and catte-he further states, that
the Vice-Admiral with two ships returned to-
CallaO, that IN Cerro Azul there is another
of our divisions that took possession of that
place cutting off all communication south with
Luna, which has thrown the enemy into abso-
lutte despair. IL also appears, that the Mar
shall de-camp, Arcnates, is at the Core de
Pasco, against which place the Vice. Roy sent

whose object was To- surprise and take it but
the event proved quite the reverse, for Cantc-
RAGS division was completely routed, and ac-
cOrding TO the lastnews, Inc could scarcely make
his escape on foot, having abandoned his horse
which was taken by our men, but in couse-
quence Of his defeat, it was said in Lima that
