An arrival at Baltimore brings English dates
as late as the gath March. A part of the ex-
tracts which we have copied from the Ameri-
can, are deeply interesting. The Duke Of Wei
lington has been successful in his mission to
the Russian Court, and the immediate deli
very of Greece from the Ottoman grasp, will,
II is said, be the certain result of it. The
FIVE most powerful States of Christendom have
united 10 accomplish the great work. The
Regency of Portugal is to be taken under the
guardianship Of England and France, in order
to protect it from the Queens, or revolutions
ry party. A British Fleet had already arrived
in the Tagus.

Why walk by the lonely strand,
He comes uot with the tide,
RN home IS in Distant land,
The stranger is his bride;
The stranger on whose lofty brow
The circling diamonds shine,
Is now his love, whose earliest vow
And pledge oihope were mine.
They tell me'In. ny cheek is pale.
That youths gay smile is gone,
That Drawing thus the ocean gale,
Has chilled my heart TO stone;
And friendshi p asks. what secret care
There is TO work me wo;
But vaiuly seeks griefto share,
Which none shall ever know.
Ye waves thai heard the false one swear,
But saw him not return,
Yen not betray me. j: a tear
Should start in spite of scorn;
Yet no. wounded spirits pride,
Though PASSIONS pangs are deep,
Shall dash the trait'rous drop aside
From eyes that must not weep.
In vain, alas. have no power
To quit this lonely Strand,
From whence, at the wild parting hour,

Though he has ta'en stranger bride;
My love cannot depart,

THE EPITAPH.

There is nothing in which greater, or
more useless ostentation is exhibited than
in the decorations of the tomb As if the
spirits OF the dead, though divested Of the
dross and impertections Of the body, still
delighted in that vain and empty pageantry
which once gratited their animal appetites;
as ii the condition of the soul, once arrived
at its final destination, were affected by the
humility of its torsaken tenement on earth,
and regarded with satisfaction the feeble
efforts that are making to rescue its relin-
pushed epithet from oblivion-the sculp-
tor has reared the ornamental marble, and
the poet has furnished the elaborate in
scriptIon, to perpetuate the memory Of the
departed dead--"to grace this transitory
spell with trophied show"
| know not but that this veneration for
the dead, and this religious care with which
we cherish their remains, il perfectly nat
ural. There is something dreadful in the
idea that the foot of the stranger shall
tread heedlessly on the turf which covers
the relics of one we love, when no sculp-
tured stone shall mark the spot where they
lie, and the heaving earth shall bear no
longer a memorial Of its doposite and yet
how manifest Is human frailty in all this
empty show--this gaudy decoration Of the
gloomy sepulchre.
"As freely will the unincumbered sod
Be cleft ssunder at the trumpet'ssound
As sroyalty's magnificent abode ...
As free its inmate rise and stand before "'
God.'
These reflections remind me Oh an al
fecting example Of ofremarkahle simplicity In

USEFUL ADVICE
TO sUNDRY SORTS OF PEOPLE.

10 SUNDRf SORTS OF PEOfLEs
I. When you are i9 pduced to stranges
be sure to ask and find out all his business,
and pump as much out of him as you can
because questions are the very keys Of
knowledge.
9. You should always look ahead:-there-
fore never do that to day, which you can
do tomorrow.
Always avoid selfshness: and therefore
never do that yourself, which you can pro-
cure any one else to do
4. If secret be communicated to you,
be very careful to keep it; and to make
sure work of it, get two or three persons to
help you.
5. If you are an unmarried man, and in
love, take to writing verses: nothing sooner
gives patient in such circumstances re.
lief and comfort.
6. If your mistress be cruel, make some
verses, and ask her pardon on your knees,
and kiss her hand through her glove.
7. When you have become tired of her,
excuse yourself for leaving her by saying
her company is so good, that little answers
your purpose.
8. Ifyou are married man, give short
answers to your wife: for least said is soon
est mended.
8. Ifyou are not fond of her, look as
cross as you feel.--Nothing charms like
sincerity.
10. If you are fond of her, let the world
knowit, by kissing her hand---talking ten
der to her and looking sweetly at her, in
company.
II. When your wife is in passion, re-
member to fly into one yourself The way
to stop fire in the woods or grass ground,
is to kindle another to meet it and thus ex.
tinguish the whole.
IL. Always mind and have the last word
because man of business should never
leave it unfinished.
l3. Spend your evenings at the tavern:
and then your wife will be delighted to see
you on your return.
IA. Whenyou walk out with her---keep
few PAGES before her, by way of emi-
nence.
Is. Whenyou ride in chaise with her,
look well to the right and talk principally
to your horse---this will preserve family
peace.
Is. Tell her of her faults before folks:
and then they will have the benefit of
your advice as well as she.
IL. Never praise her for her virtues.
lest It should make her vain and assu-
ming.

a sepulchral Inscription, which regard as
infinitely more eloquent than all the effu-
sions Of flattery which have ever tinselled
the monuments of the great, and deserves
more to be admired than all the studied or-
naments Of pride and ostentation. On an
obscure and humble slab are carved the So
litary words, MY MOTHER y This simple
epitaph contains at once history OF the
dead, her eulogy history of the living,
their lamentations. We read, and fancy
portrays all the cndearing relations of mo-
thcr and child we behold her in all the
affecting attitudes of love ; we see her
rearing the infant intellect, and imparting
to the docility Of the youthful heart princi-
pies of virtue ; we see her supporting their
precarious steps in the season Of infancy
and imbecility, and conducting them
throug h the devious wanderings ofyouthiul
imprudence, securely to manhood. In the
midst of these scenes of domestic endear-
ment, and these offices of heavenly kind
ness, we see her arrested by the hand of
Death, and hurried to the tomb. Then,
for the first time, the smile which was wont
to beam on the features Of childhood, is
sulied by tear; then first the gaiety Of
youth and innocence is interrupted--the
orphan shrieks disconsoate. can imag-
inc hear the little innocent exclaiming, in
all the tenderness Of flial affection, and all
the anxiety of deserted helplessness my
Mother % When tread on the conse-
Grated ground which entombs the ashes Of
the parent, maternal solicitude seems to

Il was in this dreadful moment that our
daughter, with her last breath, by the most
solemn abjurations, exacted and obtained
promise from Don Juan not to expose her
parents to public execution by disclosing
what had passed. Alas alas we see too
plainly how he kept his word; behold, he
dies martyr to honor! your internal tor
lures have destroyed him."
No sooner had the monk pronounced
these words, in loud and furions tone, than
the wretchedD Don Juan drew sigh; sec
ond would have followed, but heaven no
longer could tolerate the agonies Of inno-
cence, and stopped his heart forever.
The monk had fixed his eyes upon him
ghastly with terror; and as he stretched
out his mangled limbs at life's last grasp;
"accursed Monsters" he exclaimed, "may
God requite his murder on your souls at
the great day Of judgment! His blood is
on your heads, We ministers of darkness !!
For me, if heavenly vengeance is not yet
appeased by my contrition, in the midst Of
flames my aggrived soul will find some con-
ISOLATION in the thought, that you partake its
torments.
Having uttered this in voice scarce hu-
man, he plunged knife to his heart, and,
whilst his blood spouted on the pavement,
dropped dead upon the body of Don Juan
and expired without groan.

Endeavor to make peace among thy
neighbors. 1t is worthy and reputable
action, and will bring greater and juster
commentators to thee, and more benefit
to those with whom thou conversest, than
wit or learning, or any ofthose SO much ad-
mired accomplishments. A peace-maker,
if sincere in his profession, is very useful
member of society.

FORGETFULNEss OF THE DEAD.


FORGETFULNESs OF THE DEAD.
The holy sanctitude Of the grave should
| not be disturbed but to give lectures to the
living. Once past its threshold, the dear
est friend of the heart cannot be recalled, !,
but consolation is not to be found IN forget
fulness. No. the greatest sOlace Is IN con-
temptation OF their virtues, bringing to mind
by easy and natural association, tender and
soothing images of the past thOugh we may
never hope to enjoy again the sweet hours
we have enjoyed in their society; in the
faithful memory they will be treasured up,
there they still live, and will live forever.
The hope tllving in the grateful recol-
lection OF our friends, when we shall have
put off this feshly tabernacle,' seems ali in
herent quality in every mind which is con-
scious that recollection will be of its virtues.
Will it not smooth the dying pillow OF the
faithful parent, to know that his memory
will live ever in the hearts Of those chill
dren he had nurtured, educated and pro-
tected, and is now leaving them name un-
sullied, and rich legacy in example p
Will not the consciousness that beloved
parent will long love and cherish his MEM
ory, extract pang from the bosom OF a
dying childs Think you tender wife, IN
her expiring moments, would cast look
of so much loveliness on the darling object
who has been her chiefest earthly good, if
she thought that object would soon cease
| to remember her tender assiduities to pro-
mote his comfort, her unwayering coiidence,
and above all, the love she had ever mani
tested! Orralher, if she thought her men,
ory would pass coldly by, and the recol-
lection of al she had been would cease al
most as soon as the kneIl that told the tomb
had closed over her remains, would not the
grateful affection of that last look be mar
red, and the cold ones ingratitude add a
new pang to the bitterness Of that hour.
But there are those with whom all the
recollections of the dead apparently soon
pass away. In the moment of severe trial
they may appear as though the loss they
had experienced would forever be fresh on
the mind but the cause seems soon for
gotten, the wound almost miraculously
will cicatrize, and the memory of the faith
tul one who loved them is lost in oblivion.
There is something revolving in the very
idea Of a person who treat the remem-
berance of a friend thus lightly--it disgusts
every nice sensibility, and no one will
choose such an associate--for ifthey have
so soon forgotten the dead, they will assu-
rcdly fail in their duties to the living
There is something so pure and holy in
the rememberance of those who are gone
from us forever, that no one is to be en-
We'd who can easily forget them. 1t comes
over the mind, breathing Of all our past en-
joyments in social affection, and infusing
that kind of pleasure which is the sweeter
because it is sad and pensive. The voice
which speaks to us from the grave is mel
ancholy indeed, but its whispers should not
be disrcgarded.

Pleasure is a fose, near which there ever
grows the thorn of evil. 1t is wisdom's
work so carefully to Gull the rose, as to
avoid the thorn, and let its rich perfume
exhale to heaven, in grateful alteration of
Him, who gave the rose to blow.

THE FRAIL ONE.

The night breeze gently sweeps the ground,
Der moon ,ht lawn and whispering tree
1t spreads re!reshment all around,
But brings no sleep, no rest to me!
My wailing babe! your eye is dim,
Your limbs are cold, your cries are few;
Your feeble accents call on him
Who thinks not, cares not, now for you.
Your parched and palld lip demands
Some food to ease that awing pain
Oh, raise not thus your wasted hands,
The breast is dry-you weep in vain.
HE sees me not; he thinks not now
Or all the thousand oaths he swore--
The piishted troth, the broken vow;
The fatal eight now depiore.
Fair was his forn,--a heavenly ray
Seemed DER his bright refulgence she'd;
And saint like radience seemed to play
Its halo round his holy head.
Kind were his words. and bright his smile,
But like the meteor light it played,
As cold-as brilliant to beguile
And lure to wo All artless maid.

When all around grew drear and dark,
And reason halfwithheld her ray
And hope but shed dying spark,
Which more misled my lonely way,
IN that deep midnight ofthe mind,
Aud that eternal strife OF heart,
When dreading to he deem'd too kind,
The weak despnir--the cold depart;
When fortune changed and love fed far,
And Hatred's shafts few thick aud last,
Thou vert the solitary star
Which rose and set not to the last.
Oh! blcst be thine uubroken light.
That watch'd me as serdph's eye.
And stood between mo and tho night,
Forever shining sweetly nigh.
And when the cloud upon us came,
Which strove 20 blacken DER thy ray
Then purer spread its gentle fame,
And dashed tho darkness all away.
Still may thy spirit dwell on mine,
And teach IL what to brave or brook
There's more in one soft word Of thine,
Than in the worlds Gefied rebuke
Thou stoo1st, rs stands lovely tree,
That still unhroke, though gently bent,
Still waves with fond fidelity
Its boughs above monument.
The winds might rpnd--the skies might pour,
But there thou vert and still would'stbe
Devoted in the storniest hour
To shed thy weeping leaves o'er me.
But thou and thine shalt know no blight,
WSatever tate on me may fall;
For heaven in sunshine will requite
The kind-and thee the most Of all.
Then let the ties ofbeffled love
Be broken--tbine viii never break;
Thy heart can frel--but will not move;
Thy soul, though soft, will never shake.
And these, when all was lost beside,
Were found AID still are fixed in thee
And bearing still breast so tried,
Earth IS no desert---even to me.
