The attempt which few desperate individuals are now
making, to organize party, for the avowed purpose OF
frustrating AMI defeating every of the present
result of the prooundes WISDOM and calculated to

OF all the brightest and dearest hopes which the lhantro

the lasting success of freedom over tyranny and arbitrary
power. FATAL indeed, is the influence which that has
gained over society, when its members prepared

Deep and foul is the depravy which such project ma nj

SONG---A SERENADE.
IT'S silent eve---all natures still,
The silver moon rolls clear,
The brook it whrls with native rill
Then list to me, my fair.
Whilst by this cot and ripping stream,
I'll CHEEKY sing to thee,
Tho Love has come and artful seem'd,
MY post ne'er will flee.
Whilst on those cragsI rest my head,
I'll CHEEKY sing to thee,
And virtue smiles Oh this cold bed:
They are as plumes to me.
Then lovely Sue, why wilt thou dwell
Ipray thee haste with me,
And from this lawn and lonely dell
I'll safely moor thee free. l. v. a,

COLOUR OF CLOTHS OF THE ROMANS


The common colour of cloths was white. twas
also the most honorable, independent of the Dig
mites which where denoted by the purple. When
the ladies began to wear various colours they
chose those which they thought became them best
1t was precept given them by Ovid
"Try every one, what best becomes you wear,
For no comp lexion all alike can bear;
If fair the skin, black may become IT best,
In black the lovely fair Brisels dressed
If brown the nymph, let her be cloth'd IN white,
Andromeda so charmd the wond'rlng sight"
The same poet, SO far from reducing the whole
art of dying to the colour of purple, speaks Of
blue, which resembles the sky when 1t IS uncloud-
ed of a sea-green which he believes to be the
dress of the nymphs of the colour which tlnctures
the apparel of Aurora of that which initiates the
myrtle of Paphos and in short, of many others, as
numerous, he says, as the flowers of the spring.

of fortitude, but religion alone empowers us to ex-

AN ENGLISH LANDSCAPE.

AN EN0LiSh LANDSCATE.
The ordinary constituents OF an Engllsh
landscape may be summed up IN few
words. A gently undulating and smooth
surface is divided into small fields by
Indigenous, at this season clothed IN
verdure, and blooming with flowers. For
est trees of moderate size, sometimes IN
copses, but more frequently apart, like an
orchard. Extensive tracts, waving with
yellow harvests, and studded in this way
with emerald, present succession OF
pretty views. A winding stream, rus
tic bridge, a village with its tapering
spire, hocks and herds grazing in the pas
lures, sometimes vary the landscape; but
in the general features Of the country,
there is great uniformity, affording no.
thing of that variety and wildncss OF
rocks, woods, and waters, intermingled
with cultivated grounds, every where to
be met with in the United States.

THE BALL ROOM.
BY MRS. HEMANs. |

BY MRS. HEMANs
Ring Joyous chords yet ring again
A swifter STILL and wilder strain
They are here the fair face and the careless heart
And stars shall wane the mrthfui part
But met dimly mournful glance
In a sudden turn of the flying dance
l heard the tone of heavy sigh,
In pause of the thrilling melody;
And it is not we'll that W should breathe
On the bright spring flowers of the fatal wreath
Ye that to Thought or to Grief belong,
Leave, leave the Hall of Song
Ring Joyous chords yet again, again
But what dost THOU with the revel's train
svery voice through the soft air floats
But thou hast no part in the gladdening notes,
There are bright young faces that pass thee by,
But they fix glance of thy wandering eye
Away there's VOID in thy yearning breast,
Thou weary man, wilt THou here find rest
Away for thy thoughts from the scene have fled,
And the love Of thy spirit is with thee dead
Thou art but more lone midst the sounds OF mlrth;
Back to thy silent hearth
Ring Joyous chords yet again, again
swifter STILL and wilder strain
But THOU, though reckless mlen be thine,
And the cup be crown'd with the foaming wine,
BY the fitul bursts of thy laughter loud,
BY thine eyes quick fash thro' its troubled cloud,
know thee; it is but the wakeful fear
Of 4 haunted bosom that brings thee here
know thee thou fearest the lonely night
With piercing stars, and her deep winds might
There's tone III her voice which thou tam wouidst
shun,
For it asks what the secret soul hath done
And thou-thcre's dark weight on thlne-away
Back to thy home and pray
Ring joyous chords yet again, again
swifter still, and wilder strain
And bring new wreaths We will Danish all
Save the true in heart, from our festive hall.
On through the maze of the fleet dance, on!
But where are the young and the lovely gone
Where are the brows which the fresh rose crown'd?
And the floating forms which the bright zone bound,
And the waving locks and the flying feet,
That still should be where the mrthful meet;
They are gone-they are aed-they are parted all,
Alas the forsaken Hall

And yet thou art not
AS mind forlorn, or mother bereft,
For peace to thy gloomy path is left
An enved lot
And again thou shalt be
A garden of bright and bamy things,
When the lark to the listening Sun-God sings
Merrily merrily

CHURCH-YARD REVERE.

The sinless soul of the cherub child, that dies
its mothers breast, wingsits way to heaven, unco
scious of the Joys it might share here, as well as the
many, many miseries of which it might be partaker.
This can hardly be called DEATH. 1t is but the
calm, soft ebbing of the gentle tide of lite, to How
no more in the troubled ocean OF existence; 1t IS
bnt the removal of fair creature" too pure tor
earthly stay'-to make one of that bright band of
cherubims which encompasses i'll glory and in JOY
the throne of the living God
But glorious as the change may be, 1t is hard
thing for the mother to part thus early with her lit
tie one.
IT'S hard to lay her darling
Deep in the cold damp earth
His empty CRIB to see,
His silent nursery,
Once gladstone with his mrth.
To meet again in slumber
His small mouths rosy kiss
Then wakend with start
By her own throbbng heart,
His twining arms to MISS ;.
To feel (half conscious why)
A dull, art-sinking weight,
Till memry on her soul
Flashes the painful whole,
That she is desolate
And then to lie and weep,
And think the long night
Breeding her own distress
With accurate greedness)
Of every past delight -
Of all his winning ways,
His pretty, playful smiles,
His Joy, his ecstacy.
His tricks, his mimickry,
And all his little wiles
Oh these are recollections
Round mothers hearts that cling
That mnge with the tears
And smiles of after years,
With oft awakening

splendours Of Fancy, without obscuring
them. 1t does not extlngush the pas
slons, but teaches to regulate them.

There is no temper SO generally indul-
gent as Hope. Other passions operate
by starts on particular occasions, or in
certain parts Of life; but Hope begins
with the first power of comparing our
actual with our Possible state, and attends
us through every stage and period, al
ways urging US forward to new acquisi-
lions, and holding out some distant bless
ing to our view, promising us either re-
lief from pain or increase OF happiness.
WOMEN are like books; malice and en-
w will easily lead you to detection OF
their faults, but their beauties, good judg-
ment only can discover, and good nature
relish.

FROM THE LONDON LITERARY GAZETTE.
TO MY GARDEN IN WINTER.
Beauty was thine
And many brilliant summer-hour
I've sat in the cool green shade ofthy bower,
O'erwreath'd with the vine.
Youth too was thine
The youth of fresh buds as they drew their birth,
From the lovely spring-and smiled like mrth,
In the clear sunshine
And to thee did belong
Soft music's spell--for the windharp lay
On thy gladstone blending its voice all day,
With the wild bees song
And JOY was thine
Sweet Joy! las the light from the deep blue skies,
Tinted thy blossoms with rainbow-dyes;
A glorious sign
Wealth too, Was thine
For thy trees were with golden fruitage stored,
Which back to the dazzling sunbeam poured
A ray divine
But thou art noro
AS a mother, whose blossoms of love are dead
AS mind whose light of hope is fed
Sad and wild art thou

Gentlemen: The standing of this Body in public
estimation, and the character it has to sustain can
never fail to ensure to your Presiding officers an
exemption from much OF those difficulties and en-
baTrassrneuts that sometimes to be encountered

FEMALES OF TARTARY.

Some OF the Tartar women wear long snow-white
wells, which conceal not only the face, but the
whole of the head and upper part of the body and
as if wells were insufficient to protect them from OBJ
servatIon, they sooner behold man than they
hang their heads and endeavor to escape notice bv
fight An English servant, observing this practice,
deemed it to be act of rudeness on his part to
give them the trouble of hiding their faces, and of
running away on his account; therefore, whenever
he encountered them, he covered his face and took
to his hees,n order to hide hmsefin the first place
he could find. This passed unnotced for some
time at length, the Tartar women, struck by the
Singularity Of seeing man always avoiding them,
let fall portion Of their wells when they next met
him, but this only caused him to run faster than be-
fore Such conduct excited their curiosity more
than ever, and at last they fairly hunted him after
following him in parties to his hiding place with
their wells off, they resolved to see man, who for
the first time concealed his face at the approach of
q woman; and, having caught him, they actually
demanded an explanation of his unaccountable be-
haviour.

repetition OF the dinner; and thus be subsists for

rous luxurles, tea, both in the morning and even
ing, and piece of roast meat in addition to their
soup at dinner. Ifa traveller can be content with
such fare, he may make his way through Siberia,
forma bauperis, without money. Not that we are
to suppose the peasants Of this country insensbJe
to the value of money; for as there is brandy
shop in every village, to which they are fond Of
paying their devotions, and as the door of its sane
t'''a sa''ctornm is only unlocked BY money, thew
are quite alive to the advantages Of possessing this
indispensable masterkey.

ladies and gentlemen, and Russian prince, with
his daughter whose singular beauty attracted gene
raj attention. Ayoung French marquis attempted,
tor the amusement Of the ladies, to display his wit
on the miraculous doctor but the latter, though
not much acquainted with the French language,
answered pertinently, that the marquis had not
