WOMAN.

The heart of restless man to chase his cafs'
And charm existence By thy loneliness;
Bright as the sunbeam, as the morning iar'

Flowers sr,ng and shed their roscats blossoms there
Shroudine the thorns that IN thy path may rise'
And scatterirr o'er il bues Of Paradise!
Thy voice Of love is music to the ear,
Soothing AMI soft, and gentle as stream
Is mutelv eloquent; thy smile a beam
OF lipht ineff,ble. so sweet. so dear,
Il wakes the neart from sorrows darkest dream,
Shedding ahalowed lustre DER our ate,
And when 1t beams, not desolae'
No! no when woman smiles, we feel charm
Thrown bright around us, binding us to earth;
Her tender accent, breathing forth the balm
or pure affection, give to transport birth;
Then lfe's wide sea is bllowless and cain'

she. A lawyer was absolutely sent for,
to draw up the articles Of separation

loving, strife-queIling sort of man, he
begged to hear the particulars that led
them to come to such harsh cOnclu-
sion. He was ordered to proceed to
business but obstina,ely persevered in
his refusal. Addressing himself to the
husband, he said, 'Are you both fully

desist from his friendly interference, un-
ill he had the satisfaction to re-establisb

his friendly admonitions, this welded
couple grew more circumspect in their
words, less aggravating in their manners,
and, in short, quite left of wrangling,
and lived happy.

Fatal EFFECT OF MATERNAL Al

Fatal EFFECT OF MATERNAL AM
BITsoN.-Maria Theresa believed that
her daughters beauty would have proved
more powerful over France than her
own armies. Like Catharine ii. her en-
Wed cotemporary, she consulted no ties
ofnature in the disposal of her children.
When they grew up they became the
mere instruments Of her ambition. The
fate of one of them will show how their
mothers worldliness was rewarded. A
leading object Of Maria Theresa's poll
cy was the attainment of influence over
Italy: for this purpose she married one
ofthe Arcfduchesses 10 the imbecileDuke
Of Parma. Her second manuvre was to
contrive that Charles Ill. should seek
the Archduchess Josepha for his young
er son, the King of Naples. When eve
ry thing had been settled, and the cremo-
ny, by proxy, had taken place, it was
thought proper to sound the princess, as
to how far she felt inclined to aid her
mothers designs in the Court of Naples,
"Scripture says" was her reply" that
when a woman is married, she belongs
to the country of her husband" But
the "policy of the state J" exclaimed
Maria Theresa. "Is that above relig-
ion?'cried the princess. This unexpected
answer of the Archduchess was so totally
opposite to the views of the Empress,
that she was for considerable time un-
decided whether she would allow her
daughter to depart, till, worn out by per-
plexities, she at last consented, but bade
the Archduchess, previous to her setting
off for this much desired country of her
new husband, to 60 down to the .tombs,
and, in the vaults of her ancestors, offer
up to heaven fervent prayer for the
depa rted souls of those she was about to
leave. Only few days before that, a
Princess had been buried in the vaults---
| think Joseph lis second wife, who
had died Of the small pox. The Arch
duchess Josepha obeyed her imperial
mothers cruel commands, took leave Of
all her friends and relations, as if con-
scious of the result, caught the same
disease, and in few days died.

THE TEAR OF GRATITUDE.

There is a gem more pearly bright,
More dear to Mercy's eye.
Than Loves sweet star, whose mellow light
First cheers the evening sky:
A liquid pearl, that glitters where
No sorrows now intrude;
A richer gem than monarchs wear
The Tear Of Gratitude.
But ne'er shall narrow love Of self
Invite this tribute forth,
Nor cau the sordid slave Of pelf
Appreciate its worth;
But ye who sooths the widows woe,
And give the orphan food,
For you this liquid pearl shall aow--
The Tear of Gratitude,
Ye, who but slake an infants thirst,
In heavenly Mercys nome,
Or offer Penury crust
This sweet reward may claim.
"Then, while you rove life's sunny banks,
With sweetest fow'rets strew'd,
Still may you claim the widop's thanks,
The orphans gratitude"

SONG OF THE GRECIAN AMAZON.

And in my maiden flower and pride,

And wonder stands my fiery .teed,
That paws the ground and neighs to CO.
My charger of the Arab breed,

My mirror Is the mountain spring,
At which dres. my ruffled hair;
My dimmed and dusty arms bring,
And wash away the blood stains there.

This cheek, whose virgin rose has has aed,

But they who slew him--unaware
or coward murderers lurking nigh

And many 40 OF SDsn dame, in tears,

pITY,S TEAR.

What falls so sweet on summers flowers
As soft, refreshing, tepid showers
What bids The buds its sweets exhale,
Like evenings mildly whispering gale
Yet sweeter, more delicious far,
And brighter than the brightest star,
Decking the intellectual sphere
Is PHYS meek and balmy tear
What bids despair her sorrows hide?
What checks sfiliction's torturing tide
What heals the wound Of mental pain,
And soothes the fev'rish throbbing brain,
And bids the repding soul ,ubside!
Lulling to rest dis.rust and fear
Soft PHYS kind and holy tear!
Yet not that Pity, formed to give
A papg which bids sfHiction live;
Not Pity, that can tauEting show
Superior pride untouch'd by woe;
Not Pity, that with naughty smile
Consoles--and murders all the while;
But Pity, which is lorm'd to prove
The bond Of faith--the test Of love!

A lady in Philadelphia, perceiving her
maid, a raw Irish girl, who had arrived
only few weeks before from her own
swate land, throwing the end Of rope
into the cistern, and moving it to and
fro, went into the yard to inquire the
cause, and found that she had lost the
pail and was trying to recover it. The
lady told her to take the cistern pole,
and she would soon get it. "Och, Ma
dam," said she, 81 know better nor all

country, Pat Dougherty fell overheard,
and sure they did nothing at all at all,
but jist throw the end of rope to him,

church-yard. The first one that met
my view, was that Of an aged veteran,
who had passed through the soul-trying
scenes of our revolution. Many win
ter evening had he sat beside our cheer
ful fire, and beguied the tedious hours,
recounting the adventures of bis youth
l dropped tear to the memory of his
worth. Turning, with slow step from
the grave Of the soldier, my attention
was next directed to one in corner Of
a yard, beneath the dropping branches
of willow. STOPPING TO push back
the profusion Of wild roses, which some
friend had planted round, the following
inscription met my eye" IN MEMORY
OF JULIA STANLEY" Had thunder
clap burst in upon me at that moment, l
could not have been more startled. /
had entirely forgotten her in the lapse Of
time, but now the recollection Of the
scenes we had enjoyed together in for
mer days, rushed upon my mind with
overwhelming violence. lnquiring Of
an aged woman who was standing near
me, the fate of this amiable young girl,
she made the following reply. "Miss
Stanley was just on the eve of being mar
ried to an elegant young man of the
south. Great preparations were making
to celebrate the approaching nuptials-
the bridal dress was ready--the compa-
ny were all invited, and some who re-
sided at distance, were ready at Mr..
Stanley's. The wedding morning ar
rived; breakfast time came, and the
bride had not left her room. The SER
want maid went into the room and called
her, but received no answer; she called
again, but without effect; she is in
deep sleep thought the maid, and going
up to the bed side, put out her hand to
shake her, but started back with scream
of terror, when she beheld her young
mistress cold in the arms of death -
The noise soon brought the whole fami-
ly into the room, and as they stood in
all the agony of grief around the fair
stricken flower, the cries of her tender
mother were truly distressing. The be-
reaved bridegroom, in the wildness of
frenzed sorrow, imprinted burning
kiss on the marble lips of the lifeless
Julia, and hastily leaving the room de-
parted, no one knew whittier. 1t was
afterwards ascertained that he embark
in a packet boat for Georgia, which was
wrecked on her passage, and he and Sc
veral others perished in the waves "
The affecting recital drew tears from
the eyes of the old lady, and when she
concluded, felt that l never heard such
a tale Of sorrow. Even at the present
time, when surrounded with the liveliest
company, and in my gayest mood, if a
single thought Of the melancholy fate Of
this interesting girl fit across my mind,
it never fails to fill me with reflections Of
gloom and sadness.

with single guide, ! wili say wor.,
by the way, about the comparative value
of these very different partners.
Love looks only to the honeymoon.
He's near-sighted little mink; doesn't
see two inches beyond his nose; yet de-
pends altogether upon his eye sight,
and thinks he has wonderfully clear
vision. He is not able to discover any
defects, and, therefore, most soberly con-
cludes there are none. Consequences
always lie utterly beyon his ken--you
might as we'll tell him the moon was
made of green cheese, as that matrimo-
nv had dash of trouble in its compost
ton. All this is the natural consequence
Of his blindness.
Reason is TO Love, what a pair specta-
cles is to near sighted man, it enables
the blind little fellow to look beyond
the fair cheek and blue eye-the pretty
form and pretty features Of his mistress;
beyond the wedding ceremony and the
wedding supper-and the thousand things
that cluster around the very idea Of
marriage. He enables the boy, 1 say,
to look beyond all these, to the domestic
fire-side-to the kitchen comforts ofwed-
ded life--to the larder and the ledger.
to the pudding and the purse-to the
ways and means Of living-as well as to
the very simple business of loving.
look at these things in a very sober
light-for | have no lot or part in the
matter. But / do not distrust myjudg-
lnent the more on that account. People
more deeply interested are apt to take
a one sided view of the case.
"Marry the lass that has the cow"
was the advice Of nm old gentleman TO
a laddie who consulted him on the SUBJ
ject of choice betw cen girl with cow,
and one that had nothing but a pretty
face-"so far as beauty is considered,
there is not the difference of cow be-
tween any two girls in Chris,endom."
This is not my notion however, though
there is something in it. But marry the
girl who will manage your domestic
concerns to advantage, who is prudent,
sensible, economical-got good dispo-
sition-an accomplished mind with it,
will be all the belter-and beauty, if you
find it united with all these, will complete
the tout ensemble.>
Do not marry for money merely, there
is neither love nor reason in that. 1t may
buy many fine things, but it WON'T buy
happiness, and without that man is a
poor creature. Moneyis no objection
it may be, indeed, an important object
but every other consideration bends to
the point Of being MATCHED as well as
PAIREB. Love and reason join hands.

The very source Of tears is dry!
And wha,-when hope is lost for aye
Awaits the prayer Of agony!
A dark cloud lowers before mine eye

I cannot pierce that cloudy sky.
While with resstle.s pangs strive,
As never guilty wretch hath striven;
A voice, whene'er shrek "Forgive"

That voice Of vengeance comes and came

In characters Of living flame.

pledged my forfeit soul to share;
Where are your false illusions now?
Your evsnescent transports, who're

For which dared my heaven resign,
Are death, and darkness, and despair
And these accursed fruits are mine!

And snatch me from eternity,
And save me from the threatening tomb

Ere hopes last ray, in endless gloom

Alas! while youth and joy were high,
Untouched by love, by fear unawed.

The boon thy grace had then bestowed--
There is no mercy in the grave.
