FROM THE NEW YORK MIRROR.
HUMAN NATURE.

WRITTEN BY MATILDA MURRAY OF NEW YORK, FOR
THE PREMIUM OF FIFTY DOLLARS.
The human mind is like fitting field,
Where two contendng parties scorn to yield.
Reason and Passon-each III turn prevails,
Just as the owner regulates the scales
If wisely he on Reasons side declare,
Passion must yield, and happiness be there;
But it, alas, to PASSIONS side he lean,
Disorder reigns, and dcsolates the scene.
When Kemble was Kissed by an exasperated au-
dience, in consequence Of rudeness previously Of
fcred to female favorte, he could not have chosen
a more plausible excuse than the one which gained
him universal applause. 4" Human nature,' said the
great tragedan, in his high shril, peculiar voice
"Human nature-Human nature!" 1t was elo
ouent in the extreme. The ingenuity ofthe world
could not have devised wiser pretext than the
frailties and inconsistencies of human nature. Good
and evil are strangely conmingled together. Opt
Mons always fuctuatng, and passions counterfeit
ing each other, whirl the mind into a delirlum OF
contending emotions and man is singularly con-
structed, that he is ever regretting losses conse-
quent on his own folly, or mserably disappointed
in the accomplishments of his brightest hopes. In
all the ardor Of virtuous meditation he is eager to
acknowledge the impossibilty of a combination be-
tween happiness and vice and yet, unallured by
true glory, and unabashed by shame, he sacrifices
integrity to earthly pursuits he abandons an en-
dearing Protector and everlasting Of joy, for
paltry treasure, which are at any moment liable to
be destroyed by the tickle sport Of chance.
Fame, that comes and goes on the wings Of the
wind-peasures, which flash and disappear like
electricity in the summer cloud and wealth, which
gldes rresistbly from the tenacious grasp-are
subjects that monopolze the attention Of the learn
ed, and arrest the steps of the gay
The philosopher in bis closet, and the soldier in
the field, Though the former processes to teach the
emptiness of glory, and the latter to stem the cur
rent of unjust power,) weary the slowly rolling
