BURNS AND BYRON.
A CONTRAST.

With the former we climb the ruggid cliff to
procure a more expanded view of all the works
of nature. ON which mind, not determined to
be unhappy, delights to dwell. In our ascent, we
see the poets eye glanc,ng from earth 70 heaven,
from heaven to earth; we see bright gem ot
sympathy upon the humble daisy which his foot.
unheedingly, has troddcn in the dust and when
we have reached the summit, he does not, de-
mon-like, invite us 10 look down the dizzy height,
and, with him, leap into the roaring abyss be-
i,eah! No. BuItss while Ire whispers to the
spirit of his a. Highland Mary iif's his humid
eye to the world OF peace, and permits the light
ofreligion's sun to shine on that da kness which,
for time, had clouded the heaven oihis heart.
With the latter, we are urged to climb 10
the summit only to mingle our groans with the
roaring of the dark waves below, until despon-
|dency seizes the soul, and hurls it into the vor-
tex of destruction. We walk with BYRON as we
would with furious maniac forever our
guard, lest he grasp us. unawsres, and in his mad
ambition, seek to immortalize lis with himself by
pungng both in the yawnng gulf of atheism and
despair. No daisy is enbslmed with ByRoS's tears

Swiftly is the moon.tide heeting,
On my willing muse III call,
For the sun is now retreating
To his golden southern hall;
Mornings crowds are all departed
from the thickly- y-peopled street;
All the city's walls deserted,
Shady solitudes to greet.
But by thee I'll not be driven,
Fiercely shining lamp on high
Messurer of our days from heaven
Year disposer-glorious eye;

Day-prolonger--summer's mate;
Beast-annoyer--vssage burner,
Fair ones spoiler-mailen's hate;
Cloud-dispcrser-darkness-bresker,

FREDERICK SCHILLER.

The replyoi Porus 10 the Interrogation Of Alex1
ander, how he wished 70 be treated, and the re-
buke Of Caesar to the mariner for his timiditys
when he carried him and his fortunes, have been
ofIen quoted BY authors, as striking illustrations
OF that nrepidity Of character and heroism OF
soul, which is distinguished by the appellaton OF
moral sublimty. We do not recollect, however,
to have seen more forcible instance OF this fear
lessness Of heart, than what is contained in the
following snecdo,e respecting frederick Schicrs
the celebrated author of the :. Robbers."
Young Schiller was about 7 years old, when
black clouds one day announced an approaching
thunder storm. Flashes of lightning began to
dart through the atmosphere. Inquiry was made
for the boy, but he was no where to be found.
The tempest meanwhile came nearer and nearer;
the thunder rolled awfuly, the lightings burst
from the bosom of the murky clouds. The anxie4
| " of the parents increased with every clap; the
whole family was employed in seeking him. He
was at length found, just at the moment Of de-
seeming from the top Of very tall lime tree 1eaf
the house. "ror Gods sake" cried his father.
in the greatest alarm, "'where have you been"
81 only wanted TO see,, replied the fearless and
inqu si.ive boy, "wherc all that fire came from"
In his maturer years, one OF Shiller's fayorte
recreations was, to go in boat on the majestic
Ebe, especially in thunder storm, when its sur.
face was curled into foaming waves, and all the
elements of nature seemed TO be in conflict When
the loudes bursts of thunder rolled in the mcun-
tam, and the tempest lashed the stream into lofty
pillows. lie was transported, that he would otter
shout applauding Brar0! TO the grandeur Of na
ture.

THE TRANCE OF LOVE.
rpn,f MIR 1TAI1A1

FROM THE ITALIAN.
Love in a hrowsy mood, one day
Reclin'd with all his nymphs around him,
Ills feathel'd darts neglected lay,
And f.led were the flowers that crown'd him
Young Hope, with eyes of light, in vain
led smiling Beauty 10 implore him,
while Genius pour'd her sweetest strain,
And Pleasure shook her roses DER him.
A, length stranger sought the grove.
And fiery Vengeance seem'd to guide him;
He rudcIv tore the wreaths of Love,
And broke the darts that lay beside him:
The little god now wakeful grew,
And angry at The bold endeavor.
lie rose, and wove his wreaths anew,
And strung his bow more rirm than ever.
When 10 th' invader cried, FAREWELL"
My skill, bright nymphs, this lesson teaches;
While Love is sprghtly, bind him well
With songs, and smiles, and honied speeches.;
But should dull languor seize the god,
Recall me on my friendly mission;
For know, when Love begins to nod,
Ills suTest spur is is.opposition.

l am from their heat protected
BY my shelserng linden.roos T.
When my Dog-star, frat appearing,
Casts around his scorching eye,
Here, no more his anger fearing,
Him | call. and him defy.
Yes let all the mists, exhalng
From the marshes, meet and blend;
Let them all, at once asssing,
In one giant mass descend.
Still at rest, and uncompiaining,
Nor ofaught that falls afraid,
Cool in heat, and when 'tis raining
Dry beneath my linden shade.
Sun and flocks have homeward wendcd,
Wrapt in shades is every bough:
Dews and darkness have descended,
Maiden charms are equal now.
Equal are all cheeks in fushes,
Eyes alike in beauty share;
Equal is each lip in bushes,
Every mouth is just as far.

YOUTH.

In the midst o! y0uth, health, ana aDnn-
dance, the world is apt to appear in We
~ gay and pleasing scene; it engages
our desires; aud in some degree satisfies
them also. But it is wisdom to consider,
that a time will come when youth, health
and fortune, will all fail us /; and if disap-
pointment and vexat0n do not sour our
taste for pleasure, at least sickness and in
firmities will destroy it. In these gloomy
seasons, and above all at the approach of
death, what will become of US without re-
Iigion? When this world fails, whittier
shall we flee if we expect no refuge in
anothera Without holy hope in God. re-
sgnation to his will, and trust in him for
deliverance, what is there that can secure
us against the evils of lfe9
Youth is the season to form religious
habits; the earliest principles are gene
rally the most lasting; and those of re-
ligious cast are seldom wholly lost. Tho
the temptations of the world may now and
then draw the well@principied youth aside
yet his principles being continually at war
with his practice, there is hope, that in the
end the better part may overcome ths
worse, and bring on reformation: where
as he who has suffered habits of vice tt
get possession of his youth, has little
chance of being brought back to sense
of religion. Some calamity must rouse
him. He must be awakened by storm
or sleep forever. How much better is it
then, to make that easy to us which we
know is best and to form those habit.
now, which hereafter we shall wish we had
formed
Iouth is Introductory to manhood, tc
which it is, properly speaking, state O
preparation. During this season we mus
qualify ourselves for the parts we are tt
act hereafter. In manhood we bear the
fruit which has in youth been planted. l
we have sauntered away our youth, We
must expect to be ignorant men. II indo
lence and inattention have taken an early
possession of US, they will probably in
crease as we advance in life, and make u
a burden to ourselves, and useless to so
cety. If, again, we suffer ourselves to b.
misled by vicious inclinations, they vii
daily get new strength, and end in disso-
lutte lives.
But if we cultivate our minds in youth
attain habits of attention and industry, o
virtue and sobriety, we shall find our
selves we'll prepared to act our future part
in life; and what above all things ough
to be our care, by gaining this comman'
over ourselves, we shall be more able, a
we get forward in the world, to resist eve
ry new temptation as soon as it appears.

made TO Congress after Mr.. E. had departed
from this city on his way home. This is not
true. The Report of the Secretary Of the
Treasury was sent to the House of Represen-
tatives, and publicly read IN that House, some
days before Mr.. Edwards left the city of
Washington. Indeed, it is absurd 10 suppose
that Mr.. Edwards could have prepared his

mat he had time to draw it mp in short time
after he arrived at that place. TIb.

OF the country, which will inevitably and seri-
