Brighter than polished silver. more valu-
able than Peruvian ore, more precious than
the pearl of the sea, than the diamonds in
the bowels of the earth, or all the shining
treasures of the mines of Potosi, is re/iuta-
fion to a woman.
As the time that is past is gone for ever,
as the word that escapeth thylips, returneth
not again; so is the name OF woman when
it goeth from her.
Art thou as beautiful as the morning, art
thou comely as the evening. do strangers
speak thy praise, and thy acquaintance pour
their encomiums on theei yet thy way is
narrow path, from which if thou strayest,
thou wilt never more find it out, thy praises
will be turned INTO railngs, and thy encom-
iums into keen reproach.
Art thou placed on an eminence among
the daughters of women, dost sit at the head
Of the boards, do crowds of admirers bow

sudden breath of indiscretion, or the strong
blast of envy, may cast thee down; so shall
tiny fall be that of the falling meteor; thou
shall be despised in the dust, and gazed at
on high no more.
Wouldst thou preserve this jewel of high
price, let not the boaster, nor the professed
betrayer, come near thine house.
Encourage not train of admirers least
their envy and jealousy of each other cast
an odium on thy conduct.
As the way of a man on the ridge OF a
house, is the fame of woman among a
crowd of fools, but tine coquettc is light OF
hcar,, aud danceth along, no wonder, there
| fore, She falleth.
Yet affect not to despise temptation; the
prude loscth her good name by the means
She tdketh to prevent it.

for the show of "a crime may be as fatal tc
thy reputation as the reality OF a transgres-
sion.

THE STORM.

On the lone cliff, that hides its savage brow
Within the brow of each threatening cloud,
I listen'd for the ship-bel's sound,
The merry seamen's laugh, the lahonring oars
Hook for Wales, with blooming lowrets crown'd;
But all were fed. The wind blew cold and
loud;
No foot step mark'd wandcrer on the shore;
The waves with anger rent the rock below.
Shiv'ring saw the tumhlinc bark wreck,
Sink midst the fury of the boiling waves,
Poor hapless sailors cold untimely graves,
Their knell the sea-bird's melancholy shrek.
Perhaps some female, at this very hour,
child bv the grasp of fear, uphraiis the wind,
And racks with busy thought the hroodng mind
As on the window beats the midnight shown.
but half the weld unknown to thought or care
Secure in costly domcs, lie hid in sleep,
Deaf to the meanings Of the troubled air,
Or shricks of death that issue from the deep.
