1t NAV not perhaps be necessary to assign any fur

sued few persons, if any, anticipated in the least the
late panic in the money market which has almost para
yzed every kind of business and has caused such SIM
gular and unprecedented stagnation in trade The
distress of capitalists and monied institutions has not
been confined to any single state in confederacy

THE CONSCIENTIOUS KNIGHT.

An old German knight, in the first half of the Sc
venteenth century, when enormous goblets were a
mong the chief ornaments of the rooms and tables
of the nobility, sat once at table next his young
wife, in numerous company, where the bottle
went continually round, and large goblet was to
be emptied each time, or else be discountenanced
asa false brother by the guests, who were strict
this point. The wife, who had received a more
polished education, whispered to her husband,
when it came to his turn to empty an enormous
glass, to pour the wine secretly under the table
" The others will see it., said he His wife, there
fore just as he was raising his glass to his mouth,
snuffed out the candle, and repeated her request
Instead of complying, ne said with kind of subj.
nifty, q" My conscience will upbraid me-" and again
ne swallowed the contents of the goblet.

ON SLEEP.

Sir Thomas Brown informs us in his Religio Me-
dici, that although he was of most saturnine COM
plexion, he frequently composed comedies in his
sleep, and laughed himself at the tests of them. He
adds, that such was his opinion of the peculiar pow
or and vigor of the soul in sleep, that if he could
command her operations in such moments, he would
choose them for his devotons, and for all bis inpor-
tant undertakings

Heaven shed her precious dew upon thy tomb,
And happy spirits watch thy halowed bed
May flowers of sweetest scent and farest bloom,
Adorn the spot where thou art lowly laid
Oft shall thy friend review thy lonely grave,
When the soft twilight glimmers in the sky,
And hear the solemn lesson thou canst give,

FOR THE LADIES' GARLAND.
ELEGIAC STANZAS,

On the death Of THOMAS g. RUSSELL, who died in
Baltimore, October, 1924.
How sad, how dreary, seems the world to me,
How fast its hopes and pleasures pass away,
Fen friendships pure enjoyments quickly flee;
All what is life : IT'S like the morning flower,
That droops before the rising orb of day
IT'S like the dew-drop, and the vernal shower,
That melt and vanish III the sunny ray.
Breathe not the name Of him who is no more
For who can bear to breathe name SO dear;
Let silent sorrow long his loss depore,
And oft embalm his memory with tear.
For in his bosom kind affection dwet
And glowing friendship, ardent and sincere
A love for every quality he felt,
That can adorn the man, Or can endear.-
His mind was stored with many useful thought
And vlrtuous sentiment inspired his breast,
And lofty principle, which stopped to nought
That lowered the noble nature he possessed
But who would mourn for one that takes his fight
10 the pure mansion Of ETERNAL DAY?
Who would recall him from the fields of light,
Where every tear of wo is wiped away
Sweet be thy sleep, beloved, larnented friend.
Sweet be thy sleep, and peaceful thy repose;
The scenes OF earth for thee have now an end.
Alike to thee her pleasures and her woes
Long, long in memory shall thy name remain.
Ger many an early scene shall fancy stray,
And oft shall fond remembrance wake again
Those dear delights that blessed our youthful day.
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1826-01-07
LOVES LANGUAGE.

There's language that's mute, there's silence
that speaks,
There is something that cannot be told,
There words that can only read in the cheeks,
And thoughts but the eyes unfold.
There's look so expressive, so timid, so kind,
So conscious SO quick to impart;
Though dumb in an instant it speaks out the mind,
And strikes in an instant the heart.
This eloquent silence, this converse of soul,
In vain we attempt to SUPPRESS
More prompt it appears from the wish to control,
More apt the fond truth to express.
And oh the delights in the features that shine,
The raptures the bosom that melt,
When blest with each other this converse divine
Is mutually spoken and felt. 60

FEMALE FORGIVENESS.

FEMALE FORGIVENESS.
The subsequent stanzas are founded on the fol
lowing circumstance.
During an engagement Of the Greeks and Turks,
the former were compelled to fly from the field in
the utmost confusion AS they expected no quar-
ter, the boats were soon filled and pushed off from
the land The wife of Creek on board of one of
the boats,-a young woman of uncommon lowell
ness,-seeing her husband departing, stood on the
shore, stretching out her arms towards the boats,
imploring in the most moving terms to be taken on
board. The husband saw it, and with grief found
he could not relieve her. She in a swoon sunk up.
on the sand, and was passed unnoticed by the ene-
my. Bewidered, she roved among the mountains,
and, when she met her husband (who had diligent-
ly sought her, after the enemy had retired mad
ness had changed her love to aversion. She re-
fused to see, or forgive him, till the moment of dis
solution.
After she had been conducted to her home, her
relatives and friends, while surrounding her couch
mplored in tears of pity the forgiveness of her hus
band she waved her hand for him to be gone
But when the last pang of death was passing over
her, she raised look of forgiveness to him-paced
her hand in his, and expired
STANZAS.
Contending armies fill the field
The din of battles heard afar -
The struggling hosts are 10th to yield,
For we'll they know the savage war
Long might their furious conflicts last
The ground with blood is crimson'd DER;
But murmurs lingering on the blast,
Proclaim the battle is no more
The Greeks are hurried from the plains,
(Whlle Freedom's genius mourns the day y
Each yawl is flPd-there still remains
female doom'd Turkish prey.
She stretched her hands in widest grief
Implord in pity, aid to save;
The husband could not give relief
But wept at every look he gave.
"Say not, my love-" she loud EXCLAIMED,
'You'N leave me here to weep and die;
"Stay, end my life-the soul unchain'd,
"Shall safety seek beyond the sky"
The sail was set-the oars were mann'd-
The breeze was fair--he wav'd adeu;
In grief she sunk upon the sand,
And reason from its empire few
Her form UNDECIDED by the foe,
Was past--she WANDERED far and wide;
Through midnight mists she oft would CO.
And loudly shriek-"Pm Amos BRIDE"
