Alone on the deep, as the moon in the sky,
A phantom of beauty-could deem, with sigh,
That so lovely thing is the mansion sin,
And souls that s1ntten lie bursting Within
Who-as he watches her silently gliding
Remembers that wave after wave, is dividing,
Bosoms that sorrow and guilt could not sever,
Hearts which are parted and broken forever;
Or deems that he watches, ahoat on the wave,
The death-bcd Of hope, or the young spirits
gravei
IT'S thus with our life, while it passes along,
Like vessel at sea, amid sun shine and song!
Gaily we glide, in the gaze of the world,
With streamers anoat, and with canvass unfllrl'd,
All gladness and glory, to wandering eyes,
Yet chartered by sorrow, and freighten with
signs.
Fading and false is the aspect it wears,
As the smiles we put on, just to cover our tears;
And the whitening thoughts which the world
cannot know,
Like hcart-broken cxiles, lie burning below;
Whilst the vessel drives on to that desolatc shore
Where the dreams of our childhood are van.

the desire of rescuing his family from the
horrors of famine, the hopes of recovering
child, whose loss he had long bewailed,
supported his courage, and animated him
to continue his journey.
He enters the capital and repairs to the
palace of Mourat Bev. He presents him.
self to the Princes attendants and des-
sires permission to speak to him. He urges,
he ardently solicits an audience; his dress
and his whole appearance, which bespoke
poverty and misfortune, were not calcula-
ted to obtain what he sought for; but his
age that age so much respected in the East
pleaded i'll his favour.
One of the officers informed Mourat Bey,
that wretched old man desired to speak to
him. 'sLet him enter," says he. The peas
ent advances with trembling steps on the
rich carpet which covered the hall of the
divan, and approaches the bey, who was
reclining on sofa embroidered with silk
and gold. The various feelings which OPP
pressed his mind deprived him of utterance.
Recollectng at length the child that had
been stolen from him, and the voice of ma
ture getting the better of his fears, he throws
himself at his feet, and EN- bracing his knees,
he cries out, "You are my child" The Bey
raised him up, endeavors to recollect him,
and on a further explanation finding him to
be his father, he seats him by his side and
loads him with caresses.
After the tenderest illusions of the heart,
the old man painted to him the deplorable
situation in which he had left his mother
and his brethren. The prince proposed to
him to send for them to Egypt and make
them partake of his riches and his power,
provided they would embrace Mahome-
tism.
The generous old christian had foreseen
this proposal, and fearing lest young people
might be dazzled with it, had not suffered
one of his children to accompany him. He
steadfastly rejected therefore this offer Of
his son, and had courage enough to remon-
strate with him on his change of religion.
Mourat Boy seeing that his father remain
ed innexible, and that the distress his fami-
! " was in, demanded immediate succour, or
dered him large sum Of money, and sent
him back to Syria with small vessel laden
with corn.
The happy countryman returned as soon
as possible to the plains Of, Damascus. His
arrival banished misery and tears from his
rural dwelling, and restored joy, comfort and
happiness.

TIE Singular History Of q
PEASANT OF SYRIA.

A Peasant, near Damascus, in the year
that the locusts covered the plains of Syria,
to supply the urgent necessities of his family,
was daily obliged to sell his implements of
labour. Whilst he was cheapning some
corn, he heard tell of the successes of Mourat
Bcy, who after vanquishing his enemies, had
entered Grand Cairo i'll triumph. They
painted the size, character and origin of this
warrior. they related the manner in which
he had risen from the state of slavery to his
present greatness.
The astonshed coutryman knew him to
be one of his sons, carried off from him at
eleven years old. A ray of hope revived in
his breast. He lost no time in conveying to
his family the provisions he had purchased,
recounts what he had learned, and deter
mines to set out for Egypt. His wife and
children bathed him with their tears. offer
ing up their vows for his safe return. lie

embarked and landed at Damietta.

forefathers to embrace Mahometism, and
who saw himself encirclcd with all the

I likely he will acknowledge him? This hung

THE TRIUMPH OF LEARNING.

ADDRESSED TO
FRIENDS BOARDING. SCHOOL,
In WILalN6ToN.
When on Columbia's frec-born shore,
Fair LEARNING rose, beauteous, lovely maid;
She sighed for something which she might
adore,
And rnInsDsHIp sprans beneath her how'ry
shade.
United, happy, were the heaven-born pair,
And Admiration blessed each sylvan name:
While Fancy sported in her waving hair,
And fx'dupon her seal of gold, her name.
The goddess Learning, with celestial eye,
Gaz'd DER Columbia's wide and 1ow'ry waste;
Then raisd her piercing glance beyond the sky,
And calld her son, and nam'd the nrchin
Still not contented in her blissful grove,
Where rural Loves enchanted ev'ry hcart
She how'd her knee in penitence to Jove,
And down the skies, GU wings sald beaute-
GUS Art.
These happy youths in Virtues school were
And Friendship long had nurs'd their tender
Each bosom glow'd, with heavily science
fraught
And heav'n-born rapture mingled in their tears
HumiHty here, found safe retreat
From pois'nous Envy, and Ambitions rage:
Foul Av'rce here was hurl'd on pinions feet;
And gorgeous Grandeur tumbled from her
stage.
Here Beauty throng'd with many lovely maid,
To seek instruction at the noon-tide hour:
Here Loves and Graces wantond in her shade,
And Fancy led them thro' tn ambroslal bow'r,
Here FRIENDSHIP join'd each heart, by Virtues
tic,
And waking Rapture wav'd his Fairy hand;
Sweet Transport, here, oft warbled to the sky,
And shed enchantment DER smiling land
TRUTH held the golden sceptre in the scene,
And fair-hair'd MoDEsTY sat by his side;
But dark Revenge meier rear'd his CORY mien,
Nor here did faunt the gaudy robes of PRIDE.
Ills not the pomp of splendor, can illume
Fames carG'd achievements, and the marble
bust;
But LEARNING trumphs DER the sable tomb,
And shines Respondent DER the mould'rng
dust.
| Unwept--upitied, shall Rle rage of Pow'r,
with Grandeur tott'ring,) tumble to the earth
But LgARsIsG's worth shall triumph in that hour
And give to BEAUTY an eternal birth!
Columbias Muse where Dclaware's silver stream
Majestic rolls her proudest waves along,
Shall shed on LEARNING her devoted beam,
And celebrate her glories in her song.

EVILS OF TIGHT LACING.

IF intemperance, that vice which destroys
the morals and brings ruin upon so many FAM
lilies, be almost peculiar to men, women are
chargeabe with fault, which, from its con-
sequence to them and to their children, is
hardly less to be deplored. There was
time-it was in the days of our respected
grandmothers-- when the frame of the fair
was unconhned by whalebone and bodice,
their minds untainted by the mania for suf-
foe ating themselves with stay-tape and buck
ram, and a long life of heath and beauty
richly compensated the wealthy and the
wise for their wisdom and independence.
But alas those halcyon days we fear have
departed for ever and but few beauties are
now found for alteration and love. but such
as resemble the baked monks OF St. Bernard.
Palpitations of the heart from other causes
than love; short breathing without amorous
signs; consumptions without colds; rcketty
| children without attention, and funerals
without number, are the daily results of the
prevailing habits of following the mlliner's
contracted patterns, and bowling at the
shrine of fashion. The cook braces her
waist with a leather strap, and the chamber
maid wears busk to be genteel; the latter
apes the manners of her mistress daughters,
whose mother girts them up in brocaded
stomachcrs to keep them in shape; and
madam wears all sorts OF anti-respiratory
machinery. for the sake Of being in fash
ion.
The degree of i'll health, bodily distortion,
and untimely death among females, solely
originating in tight lacing, is incalculabe;
and still the custom is pursued with the most
unaccountable pertinacity; but when re-
volving fashion and the good sense of that
most Interesting portion of society, begin to
consult propriety and bodily ease, young
women may entertain hopes they cannot
now indulge, of living to good old age,
bringing up family of healthy children,
and being blest with "angels' visits" from
their physicians.

THE WIFE.

How sweet to the soul Of man (says HI
erocles) is the society of beloved wife!
When wearied and broken down by the la
bours of the day, her endcarments sooth, her
tender cares restore him. The solicitudes
and anxieties, and the heaviest misfortunes
of life, are hardly to be borne by him who
has tha weight of business and domestic cares
at the same time to contend with. But how
much lighter do they seem, when, after his
nessessary avocations are over, he returns to
his home, and finds there partner of all his
griefs and troubles, who takes for his sake

her share of domestic labour upon her, and
soothes the anguish of his anticipation. A
wife is not, as She is falsely represented and
esteemed by some, burden or sorrow to
a man. No; she shares his burdens, and
she allevates his sorrows: for there is no
difficulty so heavy or insupportable in life
but it may be surrounded by the mutual la
bours and the affectionate concord of that
holy partnership.

THE CONVICT SHIP.
Morn on the waters and, purple and bright.
Bursts on the pillows the flushing Of light,
oor the glad waves, like child of the sun,
See the tall vessel goes gallantly on;
run to the breeze, she unbosons her sail,
And her pennon streams onward, like hope, in
the gale.
The winds come around her, in murmur and
song,
And the surges rejoice, as they bear her along;
See! she looks up to the golden-edged clouds,
And the sailor sings gaily, aloft in the shrouds
Inward she glides, amid ripple and spray,
+ Over the waters-away-far away!
Bright as the visions youth, ere they part,
Passing away, like dream of the hcartf
Who-as the beautiful pageant sweeps by,
Music around her, and sunshine on high;
pauses to think, amid glitter and glow,
OH there be hearts that are reeking below
Night on the waves!-and the moon is on high
Hung, like gem, on the brow Of the sky,
reading its depths in the power of her might
and turning the clouds, as they pass her.

Look to the waters-aseep on their breast,

AXE heart cherished home, OH some desolate
plain!

pfeadlns her wings on the bosom of night,

THE SKIES


Aye, glorously thou standest there,
Beautiful, boun less armament
That swelling vide DER earth and air,
And round the horizon lent,
With thai bright vault and sapphire wall,
Dost overhang and circle all.
Far, far below thee, tall gray trees
Arise, and piles butt up OF old,
And hills, whose ancient SUBMITS freeze
In the fierce light and cold
The eagle scars his utmost height
Yet far thou stretchest DER his fi,gat.
thou hast thy frowAs-with thee, on high,
The storm has m de his airy seat.
Beyond thy soft blue curtain lie
His stores OF hail aud sleet:
Thence the consuming lightnings break.
There the strong hurricanes awake.
Yet art thou prodigal of smiles
Smiles sweeter than thy irowns are stern:
Earth sends from all her thousand isles,
A song at their return:
The glory that comes down from thee
Battles in deep joy the land and sea.
The sun, the gorgeous sun, is thiue,
The pomp that brings and shuts the dav.
The clouds that round him change and shine
The airs that fan his way,
Thence look the thongAtfnl stars, and there
The meek moon walks the silent air.
The sunny Italy may boast
Ihe beauteous tints that flush her skies,
And lovely, round the Greciaa coast,
May thy blue pillar rise =
only know how fair they stand,
About my own beloved land.
And they are fair,-a charm is theirs
That earth-the proud green earth-has not
"lta all the hues, and forms, and airs,
That haunt her sweetest spot;-
We gaze upon thy calm pure sphere,
And read OF Heavens eternal year.
On, when, amid the throng OF men,
The heart grows sick of hollow mirth,
How Willingly we turn US then
Away rom this COLI earth,
And Look into thy azure breast
tor seats of innocence and rest.

When she gave her fair form to the breast Of
