IN the shape of freckle or pimpIe.
But not one OF these calamities can appal
him who is wise, or her who is lovely on
lyin conceit. None can dispute with him,
none can shine with her AS his wisdom
IS not actually existent, it is not open to
any common mode OF attack; and as no
arguments can have weight with fool,
his system, be it ever SO absurd, is impen-

1t is well known that queen Elizabeth
was a great admirer Of the immortal
Shakespeare, and used frequently, Gas was
the custom with people Of great rank in
those days to appear upon the stage be-
fore the audience, and to sit delighted be-
hind the scenes while the plays Of the
bard were performed. Onecvening Shak-
speare performed the part Of the king
probably Henry tie Fourth y the au-
dience knew Of her majesty's being in the
house. She crossed the stage while Shak-
speare was performing his part, and, on
receiving the accustomed greeting from
tie audience, moved politely to the poet,
but he did not notice it when be-
hind the scenes she caught his eye and
moved again, but still he would not
throw off bis character to notice her;
this made her majesty think Of some
means 10 know grhe.her he 7.ould, or not,
depart from lie dignity Of his eharae-
'e'', ~sh''e on the 9trge. Accordingly, as
ne was about to make his exit, she step
ped before him, dropped her glove, and re-
crossed the stage, which Shakespeare mo-
ticing, took up withthese words $50 i'm
mediately after Flushing his speech, that
they seemed as belonging to it,
.'Andtho' now bent on this high embassy,
''Yet stoob we to take up our cousins glove ~
He then walked off the stage, and pre-
scented the glove to the queen, who was
highly pleased with his behaviour, and
conplimented him on its propriely.

POETRY.

4 VIZ u = -
1t is subject of serious regret, that the finest
genus has often been prostituted to the vest pur-
poses. To no one will this remark be more appli-
cable than to the celebrated Thomas PAINE, who,
in his truly rational moments exhibited talents
which would have immortalized him, but for the
infidely of his religious opinions. The following
effuson of his fancy cannot fail to please though
in copying it. we hope the inference will not be
drawn, thatwe countenance in any shape, his heter-
odoX views of religion.
"Mr. PAINE coTespondcd with lady, and dated
his letters from The Castle in .Hr, while she adj
dressed hers from The Little Corner Of the II oyM
For reasons which he knew not, their intercourse
suddenly suspended, and for some time he be-
heved his fair friend in obscurty and distress. MANY
years afterwards, however, he met her xpected-
lyat Paris in the most affluent circumstances, and
married to Sir Robert Smith,
FROM THE CASTLE IN AIR,
TO
LITTLE CORNER OF TIE WORLD.
In the region of clouds, where the whirlwinds arise
My castle of fancy was built;
The turrets reflected the blue of the skies,
And the windows with n-beanls were gilt.
The rainbow, sometimes, in its beautiful state,
Enamcli'd the mansion around,
And the figures that fancy in clouds can create
Supplied me with gardens and ground
had grottos and fountains and orange tree groves,
had all that enchantnent has told
had sweet shady walks for the gods and their oNcs,
had mountains of coral and gold
But storm, that felt not, had risen and roll'd
While WRAPPED in a sumber lay;
And when lookd out in the morning, behold
My castle WAS carried away.
