TRIFLE NOT WITH WOMAN's LOVE

is the only true happiness allotted to man
= In their sweet society, the sorrow and
i gloom of the world disappears, and the
/ sunshine of true delight sheds d pleasing
halo around the circle; in such society
man torgets his cares transported beyond
the vulgar precincts of the world, he moves
in a paradise of celestial charms-from such
4 q circle and from such society man selects
the. partner of his future life; that alone
his object, his eye and heart, can easily
distinguish the being-that lovely, kind,
attentive being, who follows man through
evil and through good report--that being
whose bosom contains every virtue calcula-
ted to render man happy and contented
| being.-Any other motive than this reduces
man to the level of the brute creation
or like satan in the garden of Eden, he
creeps into the paradise, to pluck and de-
YOUR its blooming flowers. ~
The man who can deliberately win the
/ atnasction of female and as deliberately
leave her to the reflection of his own base
| ness, is less than brute-aye, more insig-
| nificant and Dc based than the meanest rep
tile that crawls the earts::.
A females heart is the seat of warm and
pure affection. 1t can be tanned into a
blaze of love and yield up its power----aSc.
even itself to the man, whose arts stole II
gradually away. ss .
Love is a feeling which reciprocal growth
will render part of our nature, and like the
wine twining itself around the mighty oak.
| will, in time, become inseperable-and
who is he what is he that will endeay-
our to gain the affections of an unsuspect-
ing female-win her to his love by oaths
and protestations-get her blusl,ing con-
sent to be his--his on the face of heaven
and earth, and then leave herr Leave
her in the midst of her dreams of future
happiness-leave herin the pleasing antici-
pations of a long life devoted to him she
adoreS-leave her victim to her credulity.
and perhaps victim to the power of love
that love she unknowingly cast on
wretch. Where is he who dare unbIush
ingly avow this, and this alone to be his
object Where is the man who can look
in the face of virtue and build in his own
heart fabric for its destruction? Show
me that man, and will show you the verb
life on earth's bright surface.--Show me
that man, and / will point out the seducer
of females in the garb of foul fend---one
bereft of every feeling-destitute of every
virtue, and like the angel of darkness prow-
ling about the earth seeking whom he may
| devour. Frail, puny man--view for mo-
| ment the desolation of broken heart
the humiliation of every pleasing dream
| and, alas the maniac being of his delu-
| Sive and villainous arts, and then ask, is
this my works am the cause of such dis
tress and misery? @
The few short years of that mans life,
will be filled with retributive justice--and
as he moves on, the Kisses of serpents, the
| mothers curse, will reach his ear, and wild
distraction claim the last remnants of vices
| wretciaed wreck. This ends the life Of
him who "trifles with woman's love-
hers more wretched in mental distraction,
his awful in human destruction, clinging to
the remnants of his days, like the poor
mariner to the frail plank in the whirlwind
of the ocean. PETER SINGLE.
A Truc Story.-The following has
been communicated to US as s. fact-mat-
ter % %
In neighboring county, widower
who had acted the part of a brute and a
tyrant to his wife, went shortly after the
demise Of his spouse to pay his respects
to a buxom widow, who, like her snitor,
had not the best reputation for suavity of
manners and meekness of temper. The
| following dialogue ensued: a t5,.ns
| He-Well, Madam am come TO see you.
Her-Well, you may just clear out again,
for I'll have nothing to do with you. You
needn't think to get me.--Y You abused and
whipped your FIRST wife-and know what
kind of fellow you are. 81, a.tsts.Ee
