FIRST LOVE- FRAGMENT.


Talk of first love as the world may, We never ex-
pencnce in second any thing half 50 sweet. The
object beloved a second time may be more arniabe
may be more deserving Of affection, but in the
first place there is a novelty Of circumstance and
tein8-an untasted cup Of JOY, which in a repeti-
ton falls short of its original favor. We ore, in
second affection, going over path already troddcn;
n the first, explore new track covered with
Wldroses and spontaneous uxurances, that dIffuse
odours, which lose much of their freshness on being
eAhaed. We always know are in love second
Tine, from our former experience. The first time
We are nQvces, and receive our maiden impressions
5ided by brighter hopes and haowed by sancti-
IN that cast almost religious holiness over them
hepetitons Of love grow more and more sensual
i Is IN youths first affection only that love like
hat OF angels, is xchanged--ethereal, untainted,
lcld with heavenly purity First love is like youth,
ful Of generous impulses and exalted feeling
In successive yistatons it becomes corrupted. as
u advancing years we grow more and more the
creatures Of circumstances, interest, and the worlds
custom Youth is infinitely nearer the optimism
contemplated by moralsts and philosophers than
manhood. Love, too it has been observed wise
y, is always nearer allied to melancholy than to
loiI'ty or mirth.' The instances recorded Of the
Pures and most exalted passion, are among the Sc
date temperaments. The souls that teed upon
themselves, that keep back from the multitude,

Free from afeotatlon and void Of every thing like
discrimination, she was modest without pride, and
beautiful without ostentation ITervoce was perfect
melody and sweeter than music to my ear. The re
phyr sporting on the rose leaf-the stream flterng
through the rock, each drop Of which reflects the
brilliant rays Of light, are less beautiful less pure
than her. Heaven had surely placed her on earth
asa link between mortas and angels, for if she was
TOO fra to be called an angel, she was too fair to
be called mortal. With this adorable and angelic
creature my whole soul was capt,vated and sweety
charmed away, | made haste to communicate to
her my sincere attachment, and while told her how
much loved and adored her, her whole frame be-
came agitated, and she tremblngy promised to be
mine.

me- But, alas the morning awakened me

a few hours terminated her existence. She died,

FEMALE HEROtSM AND VIRTUE.
PA~THEA, queen of Susiana, became captive in
the Assyran war to Cyrus, who, when informed
that Asia had never produced beauty comparable
to her, refused to her, alleging that as motive
why he should avoid her, adding that were he to
see her once he should wish to see her again, and
should be in danger Of forgetting in her company
the care Of his fame and future prospects, lie there
fore confded the custody of the queen to his friend
Araspes who, being enamoured of her charms, de-
ciared his passion, but was Indignantly rejected
Araspes was then sent by Cyrus on an expedition
to the Assyran camp. Panthea, informed of his alb
sence, communicated to Cyrus that she could pro-
cure him friend who would be more faithful and
useful than Araspes. The friend she meant was
Abradaes, her husband, whom she detached from
the service of the king of Assyria subsequently,
when her husband was about to proceed to battle,
Panthea brought him suit Of armour, to which
were attached the jewels that had orffamen.ed her
person. and when she saw him CAKE the reins Of his
