MORAL MAXIMS,


Be it rather your ambition to acquit
yourself well in your proper station,
than 10 rise above it.
Despise not small honest gains, nor
risk what you have OH the 'delusive
prospect of sudden riches. If you are
in a comfortable thriving way, keep in
it, and abide in your own calling rath.
err than run the chance of another.
In a word-mind to "use the world
as not abusing it," and probably you
will find as much comfort in it as is
most fit for a frail being, who is merely
iourneying thro' it toward an immor-
tai abode.
To suppose that any man should
think as do, is to suppose that man
organized as | am; that he has received
the sal.ie temperament, the same nu-
triment, the same education, and( which
includes ally the same modification,
with me, in every instant of his dura-
ton; in one word, it is to suppose that
he is what lam. Why not expect from
him a conformity of features, as well as
a conformity ofopinlons, with miner
the former, as it would seem, being
just as much in his power as the latter.

ANEcDorE OF


When Lord Howe commanded al
Gibraltar a party of officers were a
masing themselves with whiting fish
ing, at the back of the rocks; but were
disturbed and Obliged to shift their
ground, from being pelted from above,
they gained d station where they caught
plenty of fish. At this time the drums
beat to arms or some unexpected ooca-
sion, and the officers rowed their boat
ashore and left it high and dry upon
the beach, h%urrying where their duty
called them.
"On their return, their surprise vas
excessive to find their boat beached not
half SO high as they ~leftit, and at some
little distance from its former position.
Their amazement was increased on eX-
aiming their tackle, TO find some hooks
baited which had been left bare, and to
see the disposition of many things al
tered. The cause was afterwards ex-
planned. An officer Of the I1%anoverian
grenadiers, who was amusing himself
with a solitary walk, happened to be a
close observer Of animal and vegetable
nature. This man, hearing the chatter
ofmonkeys, stole upon a partyof young
ones, who were pelting the fishers from
behind SOME rocks. While they were
so employed, two or three old ones ar
rived, who drove the youngsters away,
and tuen remained behind, secretly OBJ
serving the proceedings of the whiting
fishers
"The fishers having beached their
boat and retired, the monkeys appa-
rently deemed the time was come for
turning their observations to account
They according launched the boat and
put to sea, baited their hooks, and pro-
Gee led to work. Their sport was small
as might be anticipated, from the i'm
patient nature Of the animals: but what
few they caught, were hauled up with
infinite e~xultation. When they were
tired, they landed, placed the boat tas
nearly as they could) in her old posi-
ton, L. the friendly spirit which have
before remarked, and went up the rock
| with their game"

ANEcporE OF MR.. suMMERFIELp.

Immediately on his arrival at one Of
our principal cities, Mr.. Summerfeld
was waited upon by a number Of gen.
tlemen Of the Protestant Episcopal
church, expressing their desire that he
would preach in one Of their houses.
With this request he stated his Wiling
ness to comply, provided the consent
Of the bishop be procured The bish-
op was consulted, but declined acqui-
escing, stating that he greatly regarded
Mr.. Summerfeld as a man, & esteemed
him as a minister, but that t canon of
the church prevented his cousent, how
ever much he might be pleased to hear
the young man preach. Being inform
ed ofthis, Mr.. S. pleasantly replied,
"Well, it matters not, but | have always
thought it was usual to spike The cannon

POETRY.
From the London Literary Gazette.
THE ESCAPED CONVICT.

THE ESCAPED CONVICT.
He trod his native land,
The bright land ofthe free;
His forehead wore a sacred brand
Impress of infamy!
His brow-where youth and beauty met
Yes, there the seal of guilt was set.
He gaz'dupon the vale,
Where spring-tide fow'rets slept,
Rock'd by the whispers of the gale:
lie saw it-and he wept;
Like drops presaging storms they came,
Tears born in agony and shame.
Morn sat upon the hills,
But she look'd cold and dim;
Clouds, like a pail which death conceals,
Hung frowning there on him;
All cen his lov'd, his mother land,
Scowrd on his forehead, and the brand.
My sire! my sire! he groan'd;
My home! my lovely one!-
What SIRE l have my child disown'd;-
What home!-for ! have none;
! hear all curse-I see all shun;-
Yet curse not you! not you-your son,
| saw her struck, whose cheek
Did myriad sweets disclose;
Whose eyes, whose form, but wherefore speak
/ saw!-my heart blood rose;
She lov'd me--she was sworn my bride;
| stabb'd the Striker, and he died!
For this-the record lies,
Fest'ring upon my brow;
For this-the rabble mock'd my cries;
For this-shame haunts me now;
For this-half rotted I must be,
Ere my dead brow from stains is free.
My own, my beauteous land,
Land of the brave-the high;
I ask'd but this, of fate's stern hand
To see thee, and to die!
O, yes, my country, let me be,
In my last hour-in death-with thee.
The Moon look'd on the vale,
Wearing her starry wreath;
And set displayed a form, that, pale,
Lay there alone-with death;
The Zepbyrs drew a length'ned sigh,
And slow the Convict's corpse pass'd by.
Twas said, that lovely night,
A Spirit Youth was seen;
Gliding among the fow'rets bright,
The trees and meadows green;
And chiefly by a cot; and there
1t wept, and melted into air.
