dcrmcnt is excited by the result. To busy-bo-
some can love woman SO plain-that a woman
so young can marry man so old, OF that any
two people so extremely poor could think OF mar
riagc at all. These and other remarks, e.
ur,ally sensible and edifying, arc sure to be
made If gentleman is seen twice escorting
LADY, TO church--and if one or more of the jun

their curiosity, happen to detect the unfortunate
culprits twice spending the evening together, it
is enough-if they do not marry, nothing less
than an action Tor breach of promise ought TO

with pisnteousness.--PsAIS l45, verse TO-
Summers coming, summers coming,
O,er the long imprisoned earth.
uues Of paradise are peeping,
Where the red buds late were sleepingi-
Young birds feel their feathered birth;--
Honey bees are softly hu aIning,
"suinmer's coming, summers coming
Summers coming, msr's coming'
On the lazy pacing clouds
Swallows in the soft air sailing,
Twitter to the light wind wang;-
Butterflies forsake their shrouds;
Tardy beetles thus are booming,
"Summer's coming, summers coming
Summers coming, summers coming,
Where old ocean heaves his head.
Sunny snakes from broad Savannahs,
Seek the lily's opening banners
Rising from the rivers bed.
Earth, sky, sea, say through the cleaning,
Summers coming, summers coming"

DR.. Nath. Hodgers, in his very interesting
work ON the Plauge, which visited London
in the year 1865, that memorable period OF
human suffering, when this disease, with all
;ts attendant horrors, ragged with unprecc-
.dented violence, sweeping off whole families
in a single day; speaking of the nurses who
attended the sick, he adds,
"rhese wretches, out of greediness to
plunder the dead, would stranSle their pa
tients, and charge it to the distemper in their
.hroats: others would secretly convey the
nestilential taint from sores of the infected
to those who we're we'll. The case of a
worthy citizen, was very remarkable, who
being suspected dying by his nurse, was be-
iorehand stripped by her; but recovering a
Gain. he came a second time into the world
Naked
On Thursday last, the fine Frigate built
ship BALTIMORE, was launched from the
shipyard of Mr.. James Bcacham, Baltimore
The day was pleasant, and the vast CON
course Of citizens assembled on the occa-
sion is computed at forty thousand persons
Tile passage of the ship from the stocks to
her destined element, was said to be su-
blimc spectacle The Baltimore is frig-
ate of the largest class; IS pierced for for
ty-four guns, but will carry sixty. Her mod
el is beautiful, and the materials Of winch
she is composed, are Of the very best quail
ty. 1t is said this ship is intended for the
Mexican service.

The editor of the National Gazette says
he has before him, letters from Rio Janeifo,
written by intelligent observers, and dated
at the end of January. in which the situation
of Don Pedro is represented as very preca-

from the Earrings ofparty and political serife.
to the welcome and auspiclous harmony OF
nature.-Now when the zeplvrs are tanning
with their wings the fragrant air-when the
birds are carroiing their songs OF gladhess-
when the green earth is putting forth ITS
f'owery perfume, and its vegetable harvests
when the painted insects OF the atmos-
phere revel in their wonted sweets, and a
smiling and a gracious sky looks down, as II
to bless this beautiful devciopement OF the
Creators goodness, what all opportu ity OF
calm contemplation, and of peaceful repose,
is afforded to him, who, loving as he may,
with the pure philanthropy, the institutions
of men, perc1ives with melancholy their
inevitable impcrfectons and resorts tor
truth, and beauty, and order, to the harmo-
NOUS design of the Universe. Here is, in
deed constitution that requires no amend
ment. Here is theme that admits OF no
party dssentions. The Universe, without ex-
cep.ion, is loyal to its Maker. 1t obeys his
mandates without murmuring-it produces
and reproduces as he has ordered 1t exults
in the glorious livery of heaven. And all
these beautiful results why were they design
ed, except for the happ mess OF man. Al
the productions of earth have been placed
gratuitously within his reach, and, invested
with rich and radiant forms and colours, to
allure his pursuit and to gladen his ENJOY

tude to the Almighty, and OF gratulation a
