this respect, the publishers have employed Mr.
Alger, than whom no one is pro5abiy more capa.

Anew new easy lessons and cuts have been adj.

chapter, have been newly arranged to suit the
views Of the Editor. Dissimilar letters of similar
sounds, have been so placed with their musical
associates, as to form new order in the columns

FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY. I
BLACKSTONE RIVER.

Thou beautiful river, that windest along
Through green fields, thy current so sunny
and clear,
Where, in spring time, the blackbird's and
wild robins song,
With the ham of thy waters, falls soft on
the ear
inou beautiful rIver-in youths joyous morn,
Full oft have | strayed by thy lone quiet
side,
Ire lile's rose-leaf, unfolding, discovered its
thorn,
Or the wild dreams of boyhood had faded
and died.
l have stood on thy banks, in the stiffness Of
night,
And gaz'd, with feeling that manhood
meier knew,
On the sky, with its thick stars of silvery
light,
Smiling down in thy deep, silent bosom of
blue.
have climb'd, too, the rocks where thv
swift torrent goes,*
Bounding on in its wild and impetuous
pride.
And mark'd the white pillars of spray that a.
rose,
And the snow wreaths of foam curling down
the darl: tide.
There are rude carvings there, which the In
dian made,
Ere the foot of the white man had been on
his shore,
When he rested, at noon, in the dark cedar,s
shade,
And mingled his song with the waterfalls
roar.
He walk'd on these rocks, with the tread of
the free,
He knelt to no power, save the Great spir-
it's, then,
And mighty and wild as the fetterless sea,
Were those uncutur'd clans of the red for
est men.
How chang'd are they now like their own
giant oak,
Crown'd with greenness and glory thew
knew not decay
They are now like that tree, when the red
lightning's stroke
Has scathed it, and swept all its beauty a.
way.
That stream which the Indian once redden,d
with blood,
Now reflects from its clear mirror beauty's
rich cur!s,
And those cliffs, where the dark-visaged hun
ter once stood,
Are pressed by the light steps of laughing
young girls. f..

We have noticed late frequent instanc-
es of children and others, being burned
TO death by their clothes accidentally
taking fire. At this season of peculiar
exposure TO such accidents, why do not
parents ampress il on the minds of their
children and domestics, By often repeated
caution, TO throw themselves PROSTATE
on the floor, and roll upon their clothes
the moment it is discovered they have
taken fire? This will effectually check
the progress of the flames, and prevent
the fatal result so common to accidents
OF this nature.

he pleases that one step out of the way of the

because they understand every thing too SOON Give

REMARKS ON BEAUTY AND DRESS.


BEAUTY has been with very pleasing similitute
called "a flower that fades and dies almost in the
very moment of its maturity : but there is kind
of beauty which escapes the general mortality, and
lives to old age. beauty that is not in the features
but that shines through them. 1t is not merely cor
poreal, or the object of mere sense, and is not easily
discovered except by persons of true taste and sem
tment There are strokes of sensbility and touches
OF dehcacy, which, like the master-tras in a fine
picture, are not to be discerned by vulgar ewes,
that only are captvated with vivid colours and gau
dy decorations These emanations of the mind
which, ike the vital spark of celestial fire, animate
the form Of beauty with living soul without this,
the most perfect symmetry in the bloom of youth
only reminds us of kneaded clod = and with
this, the features that Time itself has defaced have
a spirit, sensibility, and charm which those on
y do not admire who want faculties to perceive
BY dress, beauty is adorned, and want of that
attraction is rendered less unpleasiDg The rules
OF dress have been, not inaptly, compared those
OF composition. 1t must be properly adapted to
the person, as in writing the style must be suited
to the subject. A woman of quality should not an
pear in dqggreL, farmers wife in heroics. The
dress of a handsome female should be epic; modest,
noble, and free from tinsel and all the uxurances
Of tAncy~ To the pretty woman greater license
may be aliowed she may dress up to the flights
and fancles OF the sonnet and the madrigal One
whose personal charms reach no higher than gen
teeh should be epigrammattc in her dress,-neat,
clever and unadorned the whole merit and attrac-
ton lying in the sting. But the ugly woman should
by all means restrict her dress to plain humble rose
any attempt beyond that is mock heroic and can on
ly excite ridicule.

THE HONOR OF IRELAND.

Or the excellence Of its .4ncie1lt Police.
Under the Government of O'Brien, one of the old
Irish kings, such spirit justice. virtue and equity,
prevailed among the people, that person who car
RED valuable property about him, and even de-
tenceless female. might traverse the realm without
fear OF injury or moestaton. g young lady, (says
Dr.Warner) adorned with jewels and costly dress,
undertook journey alone, from one end of the
kingdom to another, with only wand in her hand,
at the top OF which was ring Of exceeding great
value; and such an impression had the laws and GO
vernment of this monarch made on the minds Of all
the people, that no attempt was made upon her no.
nor, nor was she robbed of her clothes or Jewels"
The incident is thus versifed in Moore's Melo-
dies, and it has furnished pleasing subject for the
exercise OF the talents of two most ingenious artists
Rich and rare were the gems she wore,
And bright gold ring on her wand she bore;
But, oh her beauty far beyond
The sparkling gems and white wand
Lady dost thou not fear to stray
50 lonely and lovely, through this bleak way
Are Erin's sons so good or so cold
AS not to be tempted by woman or gold
Sir Knight I feel not the least alarm
No son of Erin will offer me harm
For, though they love women and golden store
SIR Knight, they love honor and virtue more
On she went, and her maiden smile
In safety lighted her round the Green Isle;
And blessed for ever is she who relied
Upon Erln's honor and Erin's pride
