BURLEIGH HOUSE.

The late Earl of Exeter had been divorced from
bis first wife, woman OF fashion, and of somewhat
more gale,y Of manners than "lorda who love their
ladies' like" He determined to seek out a second
wife in humble sphere of life < that it should be
one who, having no knowledge of his rank should
love him for himself alone. For this purpose,
he went and settled incognilo [under the name of
Mr. Jones) at Hudnet, an obscure village in Shrop-
shire. He made overtures to one or two damsels
in the neghborhood, but they were too knowing to
be taken in by him. His were not boorlsh.
his mode OF life was rered it was odd how he got
his livelihood and at last he began 10 be taken as
highwayman. In this dilemma he turned to Miss
Hoggins, the eldest daughter of a small farmer, at
whose house he lodged. Miss Hoggins, it might
seem, had not been used to romp with the clowns:
there was something in the manners of their quiet,
but eccentric guest, that she liked. As he found
that he had inspired her with that SORT oil regard
which he wished for, he made honorable proposals
to her, and at the end of some months they were,
married. without his letting her know who he was.
They set off in post chase from her fathers
house, and travelled across the country. In this
manner they arrived at Stamford, & passed through
the town without stopping, till they came to the
entrance oil Burleigh Park, which is on the outside
of it, The gates flew open, the chaise entered, and
drove down the long avenues OF trees that lead up
to the front OF this fine old mansion. As they drew
nearer to 1t. and she seemed little surprised where
they were going he said, swell my dear. this is

bring yop to, and YOU are the Countess Of Exetern..

RELIGTO.N IN YOUTH.

THE recommendation of Religion you'll is highly
cessary, and oentmes is attended with the most benef
cia effects. 1t regulates the PASSIONS improves the tenn
pei and prepares for the vcssdes either of grief Of
joy to which life is constantly subjected]
THE rapid tide of youth will soon be Ger,
And years shall land thee on Liie's busy shore,
There with applause wouldst thou perform Thy part,
With Virtues precepts no,c enrich thy heart.
First at Religions shrine devoutly bend;
And early make her guardian God thy friend;
Shr'l safely guide thee through the of youth,
And fix thy wav'rng steps in paths of truth.
Not in garb severe, with awful frown,
DOES Virtue sit on her respondent throne.
Benign her form--gentle and mild her sway,
Thrice happy those who her best laws obey.
Should dark affections cloud thy early days,
Thy sinking mind she'll ease support, and raise,
Sweeten The bitter draught Of human woe,
And teach thy angush'd heart resgn'd to bow.
Long may her sacred voice thy soul inspire,
Ard gently chasten ev'ry vain desire,
Calm e~'ry troubled thought, and sweety show
The placid Joys that IRON her counsels 6ow.
Kept by he hand OF her unerring pow'r,
In safety shalt thou pass each dang ous hour,
And when thine carly days their course have sped,
And all the heeng dreams Of youth are fed,
In age mature, thy breast will calmly glow
Win peaceful JOY, and all the hopes that flow
From conscious rectitude, from Wisdom's ways,
A life devoted to thy Makers praise
Then-when the sands OF life are fairly run,
Shall calm Reflection gild thy setting Sun,
Chase the dark gloom of hoary age away
And light thy path to Heav'n's eternal day!

TIE TURF SHALL BE MY FRAGRANT SRRINl
THE turf shall be my fragrant shrine,
My temple, Lord that arch of thine;
My censer's breath the mountain airs,
And silent thoughts my only prayers
My choir shall be the moonlight waves,
When murmuring homeward TO their caves,
Or when the stiffness OF the sea,
Even more than music, breathes of thee
I'll seek by day, some glade unknown,
All light and silence like thy throne!
Aud the pale stars shall be, at night,
The only eyes that watch my rite.
Thy Heaven, on which It's bliss to look,
Shall be my pure and shining book,
Whete shall read, in words OF flame,
The glories of thy wonderous name.
I'll read thy anger in the rack
That clouds awhile the day beams track;
Thy mercy in the azure hue
OF sunny brightness breaking through
There's nothing bright. above. below,
From flowers that bloom TO stars that glow,
Blu; in its light my soul can see
Some feature of thy Deity
There's nothing dark, below, above,
But in its gloom / trace thy love,
And meekly wait that moment, when
Thy touch shall turn all bright again
