RARA AVIS.

Hearing the other day of rare and
beautiful bird, says the Commercial,
which was seen one morning last week
in the garden of William Shaw, Esq.
at the corner of Prince and M'Dougall
streets, we addressed note to that
gentleman, soliciting description OF
the gay stranger from him. The fol-
lowing is the reply
Gentlemen-In reply to your note
of Yesterday, requesting to be informed
respecting a singular bird which took
its flight from my garden, and was
supposed to be the bird Of Paradise, l
answer, that in my usual rounds yes
terday before sunrise, | surprised this
bird in some long grass at the loot OF
nv earden.-It perched in lilac hedge
and so astonished me with its slngu-
lar appearance, that suddenly halted,
and silently admired for few mo-
ments its uncommonly beautiful plu-
mage, which it seemed at much pains
to adjust. Itulned round cautiously,
and fastened to the house, to awake
nv family, to see it; but before any OF
them got out, and shortly after resum-
ing my station in the grass, II reached,
by several efforts, the top OF a weep
ing willow which grew near the hedge,
and prepared for flight. The sun had
Just risen, and had but minutes
time to admire the changing hues OF
green, blue and gold, which alternate
" adorned this lovely visitant. In hop
ping up the tree, it seemed exceeding
iy cautious of its plumage, particular
" of its tail, about which there ap-
peared something awkward, but when
| it took flight, there was a perfect SYM
metry of parts and an elegant arrange
ment of piumage, sufficient to float a
bird of ten times its size. / have not
language to describe the graceiuIness
and sublimity of its flight; but what
we might conceive of angelic motion
| in reading Millions movements OF the
Heavenly messengers; is the best idea
can suggest.
! | am intimate with the appearance
Of most of the tropical birds Of the
western hemisphere, but have neveF-
seen any to resemble this. Were 1t
possible Tor so delicate a creature TO
reach us by fight from the eastern
world, should be bold to pronounce
il the Bird of Paradise. Perhaps IL
might have escaped from some ship
at, or passing Sandy Hook, Of which 9
little time will inform US.

ply. He sat down at some distance,
but ii was not long before he again in
terrupted his busy mother. "Mamma,'
said he, "my papa is so good and
kind, what is the reason God won't
give him fine houses, and gardens, and
carriage, like DR.. NJ? The mother,
though a good woman in some respects,
now gave vent to an envious, heart
burning hatred which she had long
felt for the family of DR.. NJ. and pro-
ceeded in an animated strain, not so
much to satisfy her son as her own en-
nifty. She said that wealth was every
thing in this world; that it mattered
not who was wisest or best, that rich
es was all that was regarded" This
mother was ignorant She was not a.
acare of the fatal poison she was admi-
nistering. What fit opportunity was
this to recommend him to the practice
of virtue and integrity, which would
crown his throbbing brow with laurels
more verdant than e'er were culled
from the golden regions of Plutus.-
Had she been woman of reading, her
memory would have furnished her with
many examples of virtue rising from
obscurity. The ardent boy went off to
bed with look which might make an
gels weep with pity; and with aprinci-
pie in his bosom, which in its maturi-
ty, would make him hate himself, the
world, and ,coyse than all, his Creator.

MISCELLANY.
WOMAN.

What compound Of good and bad
is Woman In all ages she has been
the subject Of extravagant eulogies
and censures. The plain truth very
seldom reaches her ears. Poets and
Lovers make them all goddesses ;
while, on the other hand, there is a
class of much more unpleasing and
discourteous knights, who tell over
and simplify their many failings, until
hyperbole loses its meaning; but who,
in the end, by a sort of generosity
which must be accidental, dissolve
them from all moral censure or obi
cation, by sa, ing in plain English, that
"Woman has no Soul" How then
can the prosecuted creature act right
amidst the confusion of opinion! But
there have been some, who amidst
this clashing of different sentiments,
which, it seems, might deafen her to
the voice of her own sense and reason,
have gone on, needless Of the Glamour
about them in the path of dignity, vir
tue, and propriety. eve all have err
red and gone astray" and there is not
one of the race of humanity, who has
not done evil" no not one"-but sure
ly the annals of the world will present
us with some instances of female mer-
it.
This subject has been so often dis
cussed, that any thing in the didactick
strain, about females, or female educa-
ton, is generally received with yawn,
and that expression SO appalling in our

GEN. LAFAYETTE.

We are continually hearing of the
generosity and noble spirit of this in
teresting man. We have been reques-
ted to mention the following
The Marquis de Lafayette, when a.
bout to take his final leave of this coun-
try, in Dec. 1884, after having expen-
ded large sums of his private property
in its defence, learned, by an extraordi-
nary concurrence Of circumstances, I'M
necessary to be detailed here, the arri
val of young Irishman, with whom
he had formerly been slightly acquain-
ted in Paris, and who had been driven
from his native country by political
persecution produced by an ardent,
perhaps an imprudent zeal, in defence
of that country. The Marquis sent
for him, and having ascertained that
the persecution he had undergone had
left him bare of resources, he, without
the least intimation OF such intention
in the interview. sent him next NOR
ming 400 dollars in North America
bank notes, in letter, in which, from
motives of delicacy, there was no men-
ton made Of the contents. When the
Irishman went to the Marquis's lodg-
ings to tender his grtitude, he found
his benefactor had taken his departure
for New Jersey, where congress then
sat. Is it an undue appreciation of mer-
it, TO say, that there is probably no o.
Their single act Of this most exalted
and illustrious mans life, chequered as
it has been with every species OF vir-
tue, which reflects more honor on his
character?
The person alluded TO above, we UNI
derstand, is MATTHEW CAREY, Esqr. an
eminent bookseller, of Philadelphia,
who has retired from business, under
very easy circumstances; and there is
no doubt that the ground work OF his
fortune was laid by GEN. LAFAYETTE.

POETRY.

The following beautiful ana affecting line
taken from the last Farmers's Museum, a
particularly inserted for the benefit of our Il
readers. They were written by an unhapl
girl to her faithless seducer, and accompanl'
the return of watch, which he had former
presented her, in the first ardour ofbls attac
ment. Ne,o- York EUen. Post, 1905.
When you implord, and believ'd,
This golden bauble receiv'd.
'Look, look, my love, (you fondly cried)
How fast the little minutes glide;
sLet us the precious hours improve,
sAnd wing each feeting day with love,
s'Till awful death, my beauteous friend,
sYour loyer with the earth shall blend.
sTime meier, my darling girl, shall see
! sHoratio love maid but thee
Then rapture sparkled in your eye,
Then roses breath'd in every sigh;
Then resting on your beating breast,
Each thought thy artless soul expressed;
And trusting in your generous mind,
My honor and my peace resgn'd!
Since then, alas, what magic pow'rs
Can charm to rest my anxious hours'
For guilt is painted on my check,
Confusion checks me when speak.
No more unconscious and serene,
1 gaze upon this bright machine;
Its still reproaches wake my signs, ~
And call the tears that dim my eyes
where are those happy minutes fled,
sWhere innocence her radiance she'd
sWhen, pure as mornings orient dews,
Health gave her soft celestial hues!'
Ii seems to say All me! no more
'In future tines exhaustless storey
Shall you, sad maid, such moments zee,
AS ere you first accepted me-
Then take, o take it from my view,
valu'd alone while you were true.
Alas! how oft, with eager love,
I've watch'd its sparkling finger move,
And touch'd tn appointed hour at last,
When every care and danger past,
While the still orb of midnight shone,
To every eye but love unknown,
You sought repose on Delia's breast,
a charming, dangerous, faithless guest'
My views of bliss forever gone
Deceiv'd, deserted, lost, undone!
ALI what have with time to do,
Since he can never bring back YOU
Then, busy Monitor, depart
Return to him who pierc'd my heart;
Remind him of those coming hours,
When youth no more his roses show'rs;
When on Reflections pillow laid,
The image of pale ey'd maid
Shall chase the timid powers of sleep,
While sad Compunction's ranking dart
Works at his late repenting heart.
Yet, alb! he knows my tender mind,
| Which Loves soft laws must ever blind;
| lie knows cannot wish him woe;
For genuine love till death will glow.
Ifstill the worlds gay charms invite
lfstlll he lives to young delight
If no remorse dsforrns the scene
If allis cloudess and serene
So let his moments ever fly;
LET HIM BE RLEsT-and will die.

in the river. The means adopted for
the discovery of his body, by the peo-
