upon the coffin that contained all that his heart
held dear. The tears coursed one another

grave filled up, then mournfully bent his steps

THE HOUSE OF A Welded PAIR.

There is place on the earth where pure
joys are unknown-from which polteness is
banished, and has given place to selfshness,
contradiction and halfveiled insults"-from
which the attention is diverted thro associa-
tons that are prejudicial to fidelity and The
tenderest Affections where remorse and in
quiet, like furies that are never weary of as
sailing, torment the inhabitants This place
is the house of welded pair who have no mri-
tual love, nor even esteem There is place
on the earth to which vice has no entrance
where the gloomy passions have no empire
where pleasure and innocence live constantly
together-where cares and labors are delightful
where every pain is forgotten in reciprocal
tenderness-where there is an equal enjoyment
Of the past, the present and the future. It j.

ENGLISH LADIES.

Mr. Carter, in one of bis late letters from
London, speaks of the English females in the
following terms
eve met lady Salisbury in her coach, with
two positions, and brace of out-riders, all IN
livery. She is said to be second Diana Yer
non in Workmanship, riding full speed and leap
ing the most formidable barriers at the stag
hunts, in which she is peculiarly fond of partic-
pating. The English ladies generally ride Oh
horseback with boldness, dexterity, and grace
fulness, Their beaver hats exactly resembling
those of the other sex; their high collars and
black cravats, tied before in the style of a ia
shionable gentleman, with the appendage Of a
long whip, give them somewhat Of masculine
appearance. One of the causes, however, of ro-
sy cheeks and healthy compilations may be found
in these equestrian exercises, and in the habit
Of walking much more than is common in our
country"

DIVERSITY OF TASTE.

One man marries a woman because she looks
well when she dances-she never dances after
wards. Another man marries because the lady
has handsome foot and ANGLE, which, after
marriage, he never takes the trouble to admire.
A third marries for love, which soon wanes-
fourth marres for money, and finds that his
wife does not choose to die, to complete his S.
tslaction. And fifth, being old in wisdom as
in years, marres young woman, who soon be-
comes a suitable match for him, by growing old

others have done the same before them, upon
the grand principles that many BLACKS make
WHITE. Many embrace opinions different from

FEMALE BIOGRAPHY.
THE EMPRESS MATILDA,

Mother Of King Henry H. and daughter Of Henry
MATILDA was the greatest lady that Europe had
ever seen Empress of Germany by her first mar
rage Countess of Anjou, Toulane, and Maine,
by her second; and, by the will of her father con-
firning her claim from hereditary right, Duchess
Of Normandy and Queen of England. Yet she was
truly great in the latter part Of her life when
she acted only as subject under the reign of her
son, than at the time when she behed King Stephen
her prisoner, and England at her feet The vo-
lence of her temper and pride lnfamed by success,
had then dshonored her character and made her
appear to her friends as well as to her enemies, I'M
worthy of the dominion to which she was exalted
but from the instructions of adversely, age and
Election, she learned the virtues she most wanted
moderation and mildness. These, joined to the
elevation and vigour of her mind. wherein she had
always surpassed her sex, enabled her to become
most useful counsellor and minister to her son, in
the affairs of his government, which for some time
past had been her sole ambition.
There is not, in all history, another example Of
woman who had possessed such high digntes and
encountered such perls for the sake of maintaining
her power, being afterwards content to give it up,
and, without forsaking the world, to live quietly in
it; neither mixing in cabals against the state,
aspiring to rule beyond that limited province which
Such conduct was mertorious in the highest de
gree and more than atoned for all the errors of her
former behaviour. Lord Littieten.

THE COQUET7'E.

Corinna, aged forty-hve,
Did not ofmarriagc yet despair,
Though she her charms had kept alive
a dozen years by art and care.
Full oft she many generous youth
Had Tick d, and treated with disdain,
But now she wished in earnest truth,
To add link TO Hymens chain.

Dad heretofore sincerely WOO,
She condescended thus to write,
you've conquered, sir, yield TO YOU
Strephon, whose mind sweet peace possessed,
Who long had ceased to love and sigh,
Gave quick for answer, thus ADDRESSED
'Read it, Corinna, aud apply
Tho rising sun I've oft admired,
TiN pleasure has TO rapture grown,
HIS noon-tide beams my breast have fired
With glowing bliss, to worlds unknown.
But Sol, so bright, at eve declines;
w hen all men see his course is run,
With ruddy face, still, still he shines:
But an. his heat and beams are gone'
She read-she paused-rehcction's glass,
Quick as the forkd lightning dart,
Show'd her with painted haggard face:
y sad conviction to her heart.
No more at balls or routes she seen;
N" more each borrowed art she tries;
a victim now 10 hips and spleen,
All day she hides, all night she signs.
Then let not slip, ye low ly fair,

Lest you should meet Corinna's fate.

And they may say thy long dark hail.

Is like the ravens plumagc there,
Yelling the moonlgh, brow!
The roseate flush that dies the check,
All bright with beauty's glow,
Is ike the radieut crimson streak
Of sunset DER the snow.
There is charm more bright for me-
Thy soul Of SenSi5ihty.
And they may say thy soft blue eye,
When raisd its living shroud.
Cutshines the diamond gem on high,
That lights yon azuie cloud!
Thy lips, as plants of coral red,
In bloom, where pearl drops shine!
Thy breath, like heavenly incense shed
From virtues hottest shrine!
There IS 4 charm more rich to me-
Thy hearts long proceed SINCERITY.
And they may say thy light step, where
They wake the graceful dance,
Is like a seraph's motion there,
Or wild birds swift winged glance,
And lingering yet thy form of love
Is like Il dream of heaven.
Thy voice, like music breath'd above,
Among the clouds of even,
There is charm more dear to me
Thy SPIRITS Spotiess purity.
