WEDDINGS.
BY A PARISH Clerk

1t is seldom that have been more touch
ed and affected than by scene which
took place al our church very few years
ago: 1t was a rough, stormy morning Iii
the month Of March, the wind ratified
every pane of glass in the windows, and
sheets of rain came pouring against them;
a sad day for bridal festivities, and re-
curing much internal sunshine to dissl-
pate the melancholy feelings which the
warfare of the elements is calculated to
produce. The bride, accompanied by her
father and mother, and two or three other
near relations, arrived in hired carriage,
Just as the clock struck the canonical
hour of eight; the bridegroom, quarter

Syracuse, owed the good usage they met with to

THE ILL CONSEQUENCES OF PRIDE.

A young lady of rank and fortune went out to
walk in her fathers woods. "Pray madam" said
the gray-headed steward, "may humbly entreat
that you will not go far from home you may meet
with strangers who are ignorant Of your quality
" Give your advice" said she, "when you are de-
sired, admit of no instructions from servants.'-
She walked on with satisfaction, enjoying clear
sky and cool breeze. Fatigue seized her, regard
less of high life, and she sat down on smooth spot
by the side of high road, expecting some equi-
page to pass, the of which would be proud to
convey her home. After long waiting. the first
thing she saw an empty chaise, conducted by
one who had formerly served her father as a post-
lion. "You are far from home, madam, will you
give me leave to set you down at my old master's"'
" Prithee, fellow, be not offcious" The night was
fast approaching, when she was asked by country
man on horseback, Mistress, will you get up be-
hind me Dobbin is sure footed you shall be set
way" Mistress !" exclaimed she, show dare you
presume" emo offence" said the young man,
and rode away, humming 81 loue Sue 1t was
night the clouds gathered, the leaves of the
rustled and the young woman terrified with

SPANISH CUSTOMS.

About noon, the ladies are at home, employed in
their needle work, or some other occupation for
must do the Spanish ladies the justice to say,
that though the gentlemen seldom set them an
example, they never idle; for even when visit
ing their friends they carry their work in their re-
ticules. This being the time when they receive
the morning calls of their acquaintance, the gen.
temen drop in to entertain the ladies with their
conversation; often bringing those friends who
have Just arrived in town, and to whom the lady
and gentleman of the house never fail to make
an offer of it, and of every thing contains. The
facility with which stranger gains admission into
any house renders society the more varied, and
manners the more open and lively. After such an
offer as have alluded to, the party is expected to
go often as he pleases.
In the afternoon, about sunset in the summer,
and at three in the winter, the ladies and gentle
men all repair to the Alamedas, or shaded walks
generally by the side of the rivers or to the Ia
pas, walks along the city walls, that are shelter
ed from the cold winds, and enlvened by the sun
shine; the choice of these depends on the particu-
lar of the year. After the promenade, all
retire to 6ottiter to drink ices, go home take
their chocolates and in the evening they so either
to the theatre else to the tertulia.

MODERN POETRY.

According to the definition of Lord Bacon, poe
sy is kind of learning, in words restrained, in mat
ter loose and licensed and again he says, poesy is
as it were dream of knowledge, sweet pleasing
thing, full of variations. All the parts of this def
milton agree well with the practice of our modern
poets, except the first They have dreams, or, as
Jeremy Taylor would call them, squddtes OF
dream and variations, and licence, and smatter
loose and sweet pleasing things in abundance
but for using words restrained, this is part OF
the art for which they to entertain very little
respect. The besettng sins of our contemporary po-
cts are eccentricty and haste, vehement desire
to think and talk nobody thought and talked
before and to make the largest drafts on the bounty
of the Muse in the shortest space of time. 1t is deem
ed much more remarkable feat to say strange
than true thing and to draw startling images, than
to paint after 1t is not enough to write po
etry in the good old way, Virgil, and Milton, and
Dryden and Pope, have written it, but there must
be some and extravagant conceit, either in Ian
guage, measure, or sentiment, some high 'magin-
ngs' and adventures of deep thought that shall as
tonsh and confound, if they do not charm and bear
away the reader. Hence. untrod paths are daily
sought out on the sides of Parnassus, and many
painful struggle is Intellectually made in attempting
to climb upward against obstacles, which no human
art can overcome.-[ North .4merican Reu;ezv.

MUSICAL THRUSH OF BRAZIL.

We first observed in these woods the notes of
greyish brown bird, probably thrush, which fire.
quents the bushes and ground in damp low woods,
and sings with numerous repettions through the
musical scale, from H to A 2 (of the German
scae,) so regularly, that not single note is want
ing. 1t commonly sings each note four or five times
over, and then proceeds imperceptiby to the fol-
lowing quarter tone. 1t is usual to deny to the
songsers of the American forest all melody and ex-
splendour OF p'umage. But if, in general the
pretty natives of the torrid zone more dstin-
guished by the beauty of their colours than by full

SELECT SENTENCES.

Women are like books malice and envy will ca
silly lead you to detection of their faults but their
beauties good judgment only can discover and
good nature relish.
Compliment is the varnsh of complete man.
Beneuolence is the light and JOY of good mind
1T is better to give than to receive
Despse not the meanest of mankind wasp
may sting giant.

TEEE CLEANER,
SENTIMENT.

There is most noble sentiment in the play of Pr
zarro, when the sentinel who had refused bribe,
is vanquished by his own feelings and allows Roa
to enter into the cell of Alonzo. Oh holy nature,
thou dost never plead in vain. There is not of our
earth creature bearing form and life, human or
savage native of the forest the air. around whose
parent bosom thou hast not a cord entvined, of
power to tie them to their osprng's claims, and at
thy will to draw them back to thee. On iron pin
ions borne, the odstaned vuure cleaves the
storm, yet is the plumage closest to his heart soft
the cygnets down, and DER her un1edged brood the
murrnurng ring dove sits not more gently.
Pleasure, says Dr. Johnson, is seldom found when
it is sought. Our brightest bazes Of gladness are
commonly kindled by unexpected sparks The
flowers which scatter their odours, from time to
time in the paths of kfe, grow up without culture,
from seeds scattered by chance.
