DEscRlPTIoN OF LovE.-Love is like
the devil, because it torments US like
heaven, because it wraps the soul in
bliss j; like salt, because it is relishing
like pepper, because it sets one often
on fire like sugar, because it is sweet
like rope, because it is often the death
of man: like prison, because it makes
one miserable; like wine, because it
makes us happy; like man, because
it is here to day and gone tomorrow
like woman, because there is no get
ting rid of it; like beacon, because ii
guides one to the wished for port; like
a will o'th'wisp, becaHse it often leads
one into bog; like fierce courser,
because it often runs away with one ;
like a little poney, because it ambles
nicely with one; like the bite OF mad
deg, or like the kiss of a pretty woman,
because they both make man run mad ;
like goose, because it is silly; Ike a
rabbit, because there is nothing like it.
In word, it is like ghost, because it
it is like every thing, and like nothing
often talked about, but never seen,
touched, or understood.

of the Deacons, after the Psalm had
been read from the pulpit, to repeat it
line by line. 1t often happened that
the deacon made as bad, work in read
ing as the Choir did in performing, and
and sometimes worse. This defect con-
tributed powerfully to do away the Gus
tom, and to introduce the present style
of performing Church Music. But like
every innovation upon the good way,
sometimes merely because that was the
old Gay, it was regarded as. q species of
heresy, and almost a departure from the
true faith. One of the first CIergymen
in the County of W, Mass. lost
his parish, in consequence of difficulties
which had their origin in his exertions
to introduce the ne7g mode of performing
Church Music. The Deacon was te-
nacious of the honor of reading the
Psalm in an audible voice, as he had
done for 90 years before and no one
had the nerve to undertake either to
convince him Of taiIings, incident to the
limited education of Iaymen, generally,
at that period, or to alter habits SO firm
" fixed One of the deviatiens from
correct reading is well redolIected.
The Parson read a Psalm from Sternhold
and Hopkins, containing this srnza-

1t is altogether possible. the deacon's
book was badly Observation-Disclosures

1t was too much. The Parson set about
correcting the procedure, and succeed
ed-with no other loss, on his part, than
being compelled to ask dismission from
his pastoral charge. n. II. Sentinel.

The Monks and Priors of st. Swithn
threw themselves one day PROSTATE on
the ground, and in the mire before
Henry the Second, complaining with
many tears and much doleful lamenta-

cut off three dishes from their table.

1t is reported that his r. II. as soon
as he arrived before Cadiz, sent flag

arrangement between the beligerent

EGClff vs. bEAuTF.-A very beautiful
Countess went to a morose, surly judges
chamber, to proposes him in favour of Il We
ry unrlghteous cause, and to solicit for colo
mel against a fradesman that sued him. This
tradesman happened that very moment to be
in bis lordship's closet, who found his cause to
be So just and clear, that he could not fcrbear
to promise him to take care he should carry
the day.
The words were no sooner out of bis mouth,
but oiir charming countess appeared in the an
ti-chaimber.-I'he judge Immediately ran a.
fast as his equity legs wonld give him leave, to
meet her lady ship her eyes, air and grace
full department, the sound other voice, so ma
ny charms, in short, pleaded so powerfully in
her favour, that at the first moment he found
the man too powerful for the judge, and prom
ised our countess the colonel should gain his
cause. Thus you see the poor judge engaged
on both sides. When he came back to his
closet he found the tradesman reduced to the
last despair saw her, cries the fellow, al
most out of his wits | saw the lady that scli-
cts against me, and, Lord, what charming
creature she is ! | am undone, my lord, my
cause is lost and ruined. Why, saws the Judge,
not yet recovered from his confusion, imagine
yourself In my place, and tell me if 'tis possible
for frail man to refuse any thing so beautiful a
lady asks ? As he spoke these words, he pull
ed a hundred pistolcs out OF his pocket, which
amounted to the sum the tradesmau sued for,
and gave them to him. By some means or
other, the countess came to the knowledge of
it, and as she was virtuous even to a cripple,
she was afraid of being too much obliged by
so generous a judge, and Immediately sent
him hundred pistoles. The colonel, full as
gallant as the countess, was scrupulous, and
paid her the sum aforesaid and thus, every
one did as he ought to do. The judge was a
fraid of being unjust, the countess feared to be
too much obliged, the colonel paid, and the
tradesman was satisfied or according to an

HpSsiaa Fy.-This destructive insect has
made great ravages among the wheat crops in
the south. Some farmers in Maryland it is
said, will not make as much grain as lhey seed
ed.
The Norristown Penn. Register states that
f,om accounts received from various quarters,
it is the prevailing opinion among the farmers,
that the crops of ,cheat which at ore time pre-
sented so pleasing and lattering prospect
of abundance, is now so much injured by that
destructive insect the Hessian fly, as not to
leave even a hope Of obtaining moderate crops.
The rye, in general, looks remarkably well,
which, it is hoped, will compensate the hus-
bandman in part for the loss Of his wheat.

DR.. JOHNSON

Was so eminent character in the literary world that
a description both of his body and mind cannot be un.
accepable in respects he was the most exraor-
dnary person of the times in which he lived he died
in 1884, in the 75th year of his age.
"lIis figure was large and well formed, and
his cOuntenance of the cast of an ancient statue,
yet his appearance was rendered strange and
somewhat uncouth, by cOnvulsive cramps, by
the scars of that distemper which it was once
imagined the royal couch would cure, and by a
sovenly mode of dress. He had the use only
of one eye, yet so much does mind govern and
even supply the deficiency of organs, that his
visual perceptions, as far as they extended,
were uncommonly quick and accurate; and so
morbid was his temperament, that he never
knew the natural JOY Of free and vigorous use
of his limbs; when he walked, it was like the
struggling gait OF one in fetters; when he rode,
he had no command or direction of his horse,
but was carried as if in balloon He was
prone to superstition but not to credulity.
Though his imagination might incline him to a
belief of the marvellous and mysterious, his vi
,gorous reason examined the evidence with jjea-
lousy. He was a sincere and jealous christian
of high church of England, and monarchial prn-
cipes, which he would not tamely suffer to be
questioned, and had, perhaps, at an early period,
narrowed his mind somewhat too much both as
to religion and politics. His being impressed
with the danger of extreme latitude, in either,
though he was of a very independent spirit, oc-
casioned his appearing somewhat unfavonrablc
to the prevalence of that noble freedom of sen.
timent which is the best possession of man
Nor can it be denied that he had many preju-
dces, which, however frequently suggested
many of his pointed sayings, that rather shew
ed paytuiness q fancy, than any settled ma
|. ignity."-Bos,ceH.

PROPERTY

~ an essential requisite to the female sex in every
con,tion and department of life; indeed nothing Can
compensate the want oft.
prop-ie'' is to woman, what the great Ro-
man crit u ays acticn is to an orator; it is the
first, the .aond, the third requisite. A woman
may be kh3wing, active. witty, and amusing ;
but without Froprety she cannot be amiable.
1t does not depend on any one perfection, but
it is the result of general excellence. 1t shows
itself by regular, orderly, undertaking course
and never starts from its sober orbit into any
splendid eccentricities for it would be asham-
ed of such praise as it might extort by any alb
berations from its proper path. When man
otsense comes to marry, it is a companion whom
he wants, and not an artist. 1t is not merely a
creatNGe who can paint and play, and dress,
and Rance; it is being who can comfort and
counsel him; one who can reason, and reflect
and feel, and judge, and act, and discourse, and
discriminate; one who can assist him in his af-
fairs tighten his cares, sootll his sorrows, puri
fly his joys, strengthen his principles, and edu-
gate his children .'--.Niss .Uore.

parents is inferior only to that which binds you
