Napoleon renarktd d, that The northern
people required the bottle to develope
their ideas; that the English appear in
general to prefer the bottle to the ladies,
as was eXemplitied by our allowing them
to 60 away from tables, and remaining
tor hours to drink and intoxicate our,
selves. ! replied, that although we did
sit sometimes for hours after the ladies
withdrew, It was more for the sake Of
conversation than for wine, Of which last
there was not so much drunk as former
ly; that moreover, it was optional to re-
tire Immediately after the ladies, or re-
main. lie appeared TO doubt this, and
made me repeatit. After which he said.
that were be in England, he would al
ways live with the ladies. 1t appears to
me, said he, that you do not pay regard
enough to the ladies. If your object is
70 converse instead of to drink, why not
allow them to be present. Surely CON
TcTsatlon is never so lively or so witty as
when ladies take part in it, If | were
an Englishwoman should feel very dis
contented at being turned out by men, to
wait for two or three hours while they
were guzzling their wine.--Now in France,
society is nothing unless ladies are pre-
sent. They are the life Of conversation

Q, where's the fair angelic gill,
Whose blue eyes beam with love and brigltnc>
And tiaxen locks that sweetly curl
Upon neck of SNOWY whtencss
Whose blushing checks disclose the ply
OF each pure passion as it rises,
Whose dear enchanting smile can sway
Our hearts, and make them willing prizes
Yes-I have knelt at BEAUTY 5 shrine,
Where such a deity presided,
And thought that happiness was mine
But found too late that fate denied it.
The dark brunette may sometimes please.
But can her charms compare with these
Although the deeper flush that dyes
The face whose hue can dare the Sun,
May have its charms in other eyes,
Yet would rather gaze upon
The clear, transparent, POLISHED skin,
Where you may trace the crimson glow
OF each small vein that runs within,
Like purple ris DER mountain snow.
/ like to see the blood mount high,
When pride or passion calls it up,
And listen to the tender sigh
Breathd from pure, an uncorrupt,
And guiltless heart. Give me the far
And lovely girl with faxen hair FL HASA

CHILD.
So long ago Dost thou remember him
FATHER.
Mo- but I've heard my fathers father tell
Full many time his tale He knew him well.
When first he left his own delightful France
TO fight our battles. Yes, my daughter, then,
Though less than twenty summer suns had shed
Their light upon his brow-though he was young
Though Fortune smld upon his noble birth
Though Pleasure wood him to her richest bowers;
And Love It's Establishments around him flung;
Still, whenhe heard that, in our native land,
Our fathers then, brave and injured race,
Were STRIVING hard against the oppressors power
And pouring out their blood at Freedoms shrine
When he heard this, he left his home, the scenes
Where he had danced LIES golden hours away,
And came to aid them. Then our nations arm
Was almost pasicd by the weight it bore,
Her voice yet trembling between hope and fear.
Greeted with Joy the hero. His bright sword,
Held by a hand already ncry'd for fight,
And guided by soul that fea1'd no i'll
hat man could threaten, pointed out the way
10 death or triumph. And before he went
TO cross again the stormy wave that rolls
lts vast dark tide beyond us, and to meet
