ny JAMES q PERcIvAL, ESQ.

When the woodlands are coyer'd with leaves and
with flowers,
IN the ,ovest lime Of the year;
When the sky is now clear. and now cheiur'd with
showers.
And life ramh!es on through the warm sunny hours,
tpdnm'd with shade or a tear,
y! sweet are the feelings, that kindle and burp,
As we gaze on the flowers and the sky;
But to higher snd purer devotion they turn,
As water takes tint from the hue OF its uru,
When they burn in the light Of thine eye.
And when. in the calm Of roonshiny night.
A serenade seals DER the bay
AZ il cur,s in the smile Of her mellowcst light,
or lies in it's beauty, MS silent and bright,
As il slept in the sunshine ofday-
q! sweet is the clear and the si'very tone.
As it softly coues over my ear;
But sweet AS il bresthes, when bear IL alone,
Il breathcs like Hute by wind spirit blown,
When know. thou art listening oesr.
o, the music and beauty of life lose their worth.
When oac heart only joys in their smile:
But the union OF hearts gives that pleasure lie birth,
Which beams on the darkest aud cclGest OF Earth,
Like the sun on his own chosen isle;
n gives 70 the ire side Of winter the light,
The glow and The glitter Of Spring
o.! sweet are the hours when two fond hearts unite,
And softly they glide. in their innocent Hight.
Away on the motionless wing.

PRISON BREAKING.

One of the most astonishing feats
Of prison breaking upon record was
that of Jack Sheppard, the celebrated
burglar. who twice escaped from
Nrwgate. The second time was the
extraordinary thing, as on account
Of the former nne, he was heavily
ironed and vigilantly watched. In
the night, after his keeper had exam
ined his irons and locked him in his
cell. he get off his handouts. and
with crooked nail, opened the great
paddock which fastened HIM to the
floor. His feet locks he could not
get rid of, but tied them up with his
carriers. lie then went up the chin
ney, after removing an iron bar in
it All inch square, into a room over
his own and thence by the help Of
the bar and a great nail he broke
through several strong doors, all
bolted aud barred. passing through
the chapel. and arrived at the leads
Of the gal. Them in order to de-.
scend. he went back and fetched his
blanket. and also wrenchcd an IRON
spike from the chapel door, with
which he made fast the blanket to
the wall, aud let himself down upon
turner's house adjoining. The
garnet door on the leads was open,
through which he entered; and af-
ter remaining till the people were
gone to bed, he descended the stairs
and weat nut at the street door. A
preacher Of that day, when the story
was ripe. made the following appli-
cation of Jacks adroitness 80 Let
me- exhort We, then, to open the lock s
of your hearts with the nail of repen-
lance {; burst asunder the letters of
your beloved lust; mount the chin
.ney of hope; take from thence the
bar Of good resolution; break thro'
the stone wall of despair, and all the
strung holds in the dark entry of the
valley of tn, shadow of death raise
Yourselves to the leads of divine medi-
tation. Fix the blanket Of faith with
rhe spike of the church. Let your
selves down to the turner's house of
resignation, and descend the stairs of
humility; SO shall you come to the
door of deiiverance from the prison
of iniquity. aud escape the clutches
of that old executioner. the devil,
who goeth about like roaring lion,
seeking whom he may deyour.'

SAYINGS OF THE ANCiENTS.

From tho Salem ObSerUer.
SAYI> GS OF THE ANClENTS.
In all probability the ladies Of an
cient times we're far inferior to the
moderu, in every feminine grace and
virtue. For. in our times, every man
seems happy aud pleasant in the mar
riage state, and considers his wife a
pattern; but if We listen to the COM
plants and precepts of ancient sages,
matrimony with them was but trial,
and wife an affection and plague.
1t was remark of Metullus, the
Numidian, that if We could live with
nut wives. we should be free from
trouble but alas it was so ordered
by nature, that we could not live
comfortably with them, and without
them could not exist at all.
Socrates, being asked by young
:. an, whether it were better to mar
~ or to live single, replied, do
which please, you will be sorry for
it, intimating that the choice was not
between, good and evil: but between
two evils.
The same person often said. that
he had suffered three evils: the learn
ing ofgrammar. poverty, and bad
wife. He had at last escaped from
the twofnrmer. but there was no get
ting I'D Of a bad wife.
The same person said ratrimony
was net; the fishes when they are
out, wish to get in; when they are in,
they wish to gel out.
Pratogoras being asked for what
reason he had given his daughter in
marriage 10 his enemy. replied. that
he had nothing worse to give him.
Ii is reported of the Legislator
Phuroneus, that being SIN bis d,a,h
bed, he whispered to bis brOther, if |
had only lived single, nothing would
have been wanting to my felicity.
Xan,ippe's want Of tenderness to-
wards Socrates was a source Of un-
easiness to his friends. Alcibiades
in particular once asked him how he
could endure so cross and sulky a
wife. Socrates replied, have been
so long accustomed to her mise, that
] mind it no more than the cresking
of the wheel at the well.
Diogenes was Of a turn of mind
very different from Socrates. For
happening to see woman. Who had
hung herself, suspended on an olive
tree. he said he wished other trees
bore such fruit.
