ISAAC'S CHOICE.

A song by Isaac, introduced in Mr. sheridan's
opera, called "The Duenna," is extremely lively
and characteristic. The allusion to the dell and
dmple is delightfully."- arch and Isaac's indifference
to the colour, though solicitous for the DUAL num-
Der of the eyes of his mistress, is truly laughable
Give Isaac the nymph, who no beauty can boast,
But health and good humor to make her his toast,
If straight don't mind whether slender or fat,
And six feet or four we'll nc'er quarrel for that
Whate'er her complexion-I vow don't care,
If brown it is lasting-more pleasing, if fair;
And though in her cheeks no dimples could see,
Let her smile, and each dell is dimple to- me.
Let her locks be the reddest that ever were seen,
And her eyes, they may be any colour-but green;
For in eyes Though various the lusre and hue
l swear Pve no choce-only let her have two.
IT'S true I'd dispense with throne on her back,
And white teeth own are genteeler than black,
A little round chin toos beauty Tve heard.
| only desire she may mt have beard.

THE SPIRIT OF BEAUTY.

THE SPIRIT OF BEAUTY.
The Spirit of Beauty unfurls her light,
And wheels her course in Joyous fight;
know her track through the balmy arr,
BY the blossoms that cluster and whiten there
She leaves the tops of the mountains green,
And gems the valley with chrystal sheen.
At morn know where she rested at night,
For the roses are gushing with dewy delight;
Then she mounts again, and around her filings
A shower of light from her purple wings,
Till the Spirit is drunk with the music on high,
That silently fills it with ecstacy
At noon, she HES to cool retreat
Where towering elms over waters meet;
She dimples the wave where the green leaves dip,
And smiles as it curls like maden's lip,
When her tremuous bosom would hide, in vain,
From her lover, the hope that she loves again.
At eve she hangs DER the western sky
Dark clouds for glorious canopy;
And round the skirts of each sweeping fold,
She paints border of crimson and gold,
Where the lingering sunbeams love to stay,
When their god in his glory has passed away.

She hovers around US at twilight hour,
When her presence is felt with the deepest power;
She mellows the landscape, and crowds the stream
ith shadows that fit like fairy dreams
Still wheeling her fight through the gladstone air,
The Spirit Of Beauty is every where ID.

her eys fixed by strong effort she had
succeeded in REFRESHING her agitation,
and seemed prepared to go through the
ceremony with statue-like composure-
She was very young, and looked as tho
she had sorrowed much; yet wreck of
her beauty rem aimed, to show how bright
it might have been. She was richly
dressed but the pains Of her drew oman
had been thrown away; Tor at every con-
vulsive movement, which, in spite Of her
attempts at calmness, shook her frame,
some plat or bow was disad justed, and
the feathers in her bonnet had been bro
ken, probably in leaning her throbbing
head against the side Of the carriage.-
Upon the entrance of the bridegroom,
tall, stout man, about forty, all her strug
giles gave way, and she burst forth into
such an agony Of grief, that it appeared
rs if soul and body were parting. And,
Oh, what dark brow scowled upon her,
IN the man who now sought TO compel
her reluctant hand to yield to his odious
grasp The father, apparently fearful
that he would turn back and drive away
in his fine equipage, took him by the
arm, and they walked up and down the
aisle together, whilst the clergy an liter
ally stood aghast, and all the rest Of US
gave our best assistance to restore the la
dy: l had seen weeping and fainting be-
fore, bnt never any thing like this. Al
length the reverend gentleman who Off
ciated felt called upon, through mere
compassion, TO interfere he motioned
the mother aside, and conyersed earnest
ly with her for few moments; but she
broke away from him impatiently, and
then spoke short sentence in a low, yet
decided voice to her daughter. Reused
by the remonstrance, and hastily swal-
lowing large glass Of water, hitherto
held vainly to her lips, the poor girl, all
unconscious Of what she was about, wip-
ed her eyes with her superb lace veil till
it was literally wet through, and obliged
TO be taken off; and leaning on the arm
of sister, staggered to the altar. There
she stood, picture Of deep wo, enough
10 melt the m ost callous heart. Her lips
moved, but they uttered no sound, and
the bridegroom's hard, harsh counte-
nance grew more black and gloomy, as
his logged, abrupt sentences met no re-
ply. At last the priest pronounced the
blessing, and she started, drew one long
gasping sigh, and quietly surrendered
herself 10 his care. She attempted to
write her name in the book, but the cha
racters were illegible. She wept no more;
but her lips quivered, and short thick
sobs came fast from her burthened heart,
as her husband, now en- loving a sort of

their gay dresses, and all rejoicing at
the success which at one time had ap-
peared so doubtful. 1t was very shocking,
and turned loathing from the hearuess
set.

The following beautiful Poem is from Croy's An
gel of the Word-It is rich poesy indeed.
The weeper raised the wells ruby lip
First dawnd then glow'd the young checks deep
er hue,
Yet delicate as roses when they dip
Their odorous blossoms in the morning dew.
Then beam'd the eyes-twin stars of living blue,
Half shaded by the curs of glossy hair,
That turn'd to golden as the light wind threw
Their clusters in the western golden glare;
Yet was her blue eye dim, for tears were gushing
there.
He look'd upon her, and her hurried gaze
Was at his look droppd instant on the ground
But Ger her cheek of beauty rush'd a blaze,
Her bosom heav'd above its silken bound,
AS if the soul had felt some sudden wound.
He LOOKED again-the cheek was deadly pale,
The bosom sunk with one long sigh profound,
Yet still one lily hand upheld her veil,
And one still pressd her heart-that sigh told all
its tale
Beauty, what art thou, that thy slightest gaze
Can make the spirit from the centre roll,
Its whole long course, sad and shadowy maze,
Thou midnight or thou noontide of the soul
One glorious vision lighting up the whole
OF the wide world one deep wild desire,
By day and night consuming sad and sole;
Till hope, pride, genius, nay, till loves own fire
Desert the weary heart, cold and Wondering pyre.

BY DIR. PERCIyAL.


When the woodlands are covered with leaves and
with flowers,
In the loyeliest time of the years
When the sky is now clear, and cheguered
with showers,
And life rambles through the warm sunny hours,
Undimmd with shade or a tear
o sweet are the feelings, that kndle and burn,
AS we gaze on the flowers and the sky;
But to higher and purer devotion they turn,
AS water takes tint from the hue of its urn,
When they burn in the light of thine eye.
And when, in the calm of moonshiny night
serenade steals DER the bay;
As it curls in the smile of her mellowest light,
Or lies in its beauty, silent and bright
AS it slept in the sunshine of day
o sweet is the clear and the silvery tone,
AS it softly comes overny ear;
But sweet as it breathes, when hear it alone,
1t breathes like flute by wind-spirit blown,
When | know thou art listening near.
O the music and beauty of life lose their worth,
When he heart only joys in their smile;
But the union of hearts gives that pleasure its birth,
Which beams on the darkest and coolest of earth,
Like the on his own chosen isle;
1t gives to the fre-side of winter the light,
The glow and the glitter of SPRING
o sweet are the hours when two fond hearts unite,
And softly they glide, in their innocent flight,
Away on the motioness wing.
The following lines were addressed to officer
in the British army, by lady who had heard him
more than violate the cacred in junction to
swear not at al' 1t is satisfactory to add that the
strength and manner OF the reproof were productive
Of all the good intended.
o that the Muse might call, without offence,
The gallant soldier back to his good sense
His temporal field so cautious not to lose.
10 careless quite OF his eternal foes
Soldier SO tender of thy Princes fame,
Why profuse of superior name ?
For the Kings sake the brunt of battles bear;
But for the KING of Kings sake-do not s1veay

LETTERS TO MY AGENT IN AMERICA.

Richm0ad, pi;sinin, Hay2d, 1924:
DEAN Sin-lt becomes me at this time, to
express to Cod my gratitude for the means he
had made use Of in restoring my long lost
health, by the use of a medicine called Poid-
deipaiS or L'dia Extract. For the last FIVE
years have been so grievously afflicted witt,
rheumatism, that | have at times almost wished
for death to relieve me from nv suffering
seeing this medicine advertised, sent for q
box, and do declare, that since have began
TO use it have never felt pain, and am sure
that by continuing to use it for short time,
shall again enjoy my usual health, and be
able to support my family, as heretofore. In
closed, send you three dollars, for two box
es, which you will please to pack UP carefully,
and Mr.. Bcrncy will bring it safe to me. You
may tell the world it ismy opinion, that the
Poiadeiphis is the only medicine in the world,
that will cure the rheumatism. With Joy and
gladness. Yours, WIN. G. MEYER.
