SLEEP AFTER MEALS.

1t is disputed point, whether short sleep alter
dinner be not useful for promoting digestion and
in several countries it certainly is INDUCED with i'm.
punity, if not with evident advantage; besides that
it seems be consistent with the instinct of nature.
1t is however, only among class that the practice
be used with propriety; and whoever adopts it,
ought to confne the indulgence to short sleep Of
few minutes. For, if it be continued longer,
there arises more loss from the increase of nsen-
sble perspiration, than can be compensated by all
the advantages supposed to accrue to digestion.
Those who ues such custom, which may be al.
lowable to the aged and delicate, ought 10 place

FROM THE LONDON LITERARY GAZETTE.
If t'were not for the splendid light
That trembes from yon beauteous star,
How dark would be the form of night,
Careering in her dusky car.
Ills thus enlivening woman cheers
Mans gloomiest hour with fond carcss,
When nought Of kindred life appears
10 sooth the pangs of deep distress.
And yet how oft his reckless heart
Neglec,s her in her reign of bliss.
IT'S only in affliction's smart,
We truly know what woman is.
Then wherefore, man, forget that friend
When fortunes brighter planets shine
Remember. when their beauties end,
How dark the night that must be thine.
Butthou art like the thoughtless roe,
That sports around the fountains brink,
Nor heetls the rill that glides below,
Nor cares its limpid wave to drink.
Not so when mid the deserts heat
She feels the pains of thirst begin
oh then the bitterest draughts were sweet
To Stake the fire that burns within.
So when with grief and cares opprest,
How soon we fly to woman's arms.
And, suppliant round her generous breast,
Forget our woes for beautys charms.

SERIOUS aEFLECTxoNs.

Listen, We ardent and ambitious in the
pursuit of earthly good. Boast not your
selves of tomorrow; for ye know not what
day may bring forth; yc are careful and
troubled about many things; but one thing is
needful. Oh, seize the present moment to
choose, and to seek that good part which
cannot be taken from you. Listen ye aged;
younger than yourselves is gone down to
the grave.-Your remaining time cannot be
long; the almond tree begins to flourish, you
are ripening for the tomb; be We also ready.
I.istenye, whose morning smiles illume
the happy circle Of your triends.-Listcn ye,
whose noon of life is Frightened by the
beams of filial, conjugal, fraternal orpar-
entail affection from surrounding eyes. Re-
member that comforts arc but lent to cheer
YOU in your pilgrimage towards heaven; ere
long YOU must resign them to the hand from
which they came. Dwell with these friends,
therefore, as mortal beings, and place your
hopes on higher, nobler, more enduring
state. How soon the present circle of our
acquaintance may be broken up; how soon
one and another of our brethren and friends
may be missed from the field Of his indus
try, and the bed of his rcposc, from his sta
tion at the board, and his seat in the sane
tuary, we know not. Who next shall be
called hence to be here no more, or ho"
long it shall be with any of us, before WI
shall go to our long home, and the mourner'
go about the streets, we know not; but thi
we know, with all of us the time is short, VIZ
calculate life by years, soon. very soon, i
may be reckoned in months, days, minutes
30 that men were wise, that they under
stood this, that they would consider thei
latter end''

TRUE POLITENESS.

Polteness is just medium between tor-
mality and rudeness: it is in fact good ma
turc regulated by quick discernment, which
proportions itself to every situation, and ev-
cry character; it is restraint laid by rea-
son and benevolence on every irregularity
of temper, Of appetite and passion. 1t ac-
commodities itself to the fanatic laws of GUS
tom and fashion, as long as they are not
inconsistent with the higher obligations OF
virtue and religion.
To give efficacy and grace to poltcness,
! it must be accompanied with some degree
of taste as well as delicacy; and although its
foundation must be rooted in the heart, it is
not perfect without a knowledge of the
world.
In society it is the happy medium which
blends the most discordant natures, 1t Inn
poses silence ON the loquaciuus, and incline!
the most reserved to furnish their share o
conversation; it reprcsses the despicable
but common ambition of being the mos
prominent character in the scene; it increas-
es the general desire ofbeing mutually agree
able; takes off the offensive edge OF ralllery
and gives dclicacy to wit; it preserves sub
ordination, and reconciies ease with propri-
ETY., like other valuable qualities, its value i
best estimated when it is absent.
No greatness can awe 1t into servllity, III
Intimacy can sink it into coarse familiar
ity; to superiors, it is respectful freedom
to interiors, it is unassuming good nature; II
equals, every thing thatis charming; study
ing, anticipating, and attending to all things
yet at the same time apparently disensag
ed and careless.
Such is true polteness: by people
wrong heads and unworthy hearts disgracet
in its two extremes: and by the generalit.
of mankind confined within the marrow
bounds of mere good breeding, which is onl.
one branch oft.

THE HUNTERS BRIDE.


will 60 to the land where the hunters dwell,
And build me a hut in slvan dell
And my home shall be by that tranquil lake
Which none but tho hunters paddles break
Where the Indian boy, in his bark canoe,
Like dolphin ccayc the waters blue;
And beneath the moon of summer sky,
i,asks in the light ofhis lov'd ones eye;
For | long to rove on the mountain side,
To hunt the deer as 4 hunters bride.
Though coarse and rude is the mountains fair,
Vet pure is the breath Of the mountain air
And rugged the path in the hunters way,
Vet sweet are his dreams at the close of the day.
Though toll and trouble his course pursue,
Health tinges his cheek with dusky hue;
And in heetness he rivals the wild gazellc--
That long to rove on the mo,Inan side,
And wear the garb of hunters bride.
NV 10Y shall be by the silent shore
10 watch the return of his flashing oar
And view on the breast of that lmpid lake
The ed,lics around it in murmurs break
And ripple, and sparkle, and curl away,
In the soothing beam of the silver ray;
And his heart shall gladden. to hear my song
swell on the car as he paddles along;
And nc'cr will depart from that mountain side
But share the fate OF u hunters bride.
