CHOICE REFLECTIONS.
FROM LACON.

The great, perhaps the principal, cause
of that delight we receive from a fine compo-
sitior, whether it be in prose or in verse, |
conceive to be this; the marvellous and ma
gic powers it confers upon the reader en-
abling an inferior mind at one glance. and
almost without any effort to seize, to en-
brace, and to enjoy those remote comblna-
tions Of wit, melting harmonies OF sound and
vigorous condrnsations of sense, that cost a
superior mind so much perseverance, labour
and time. And ! think ! am supported in
this proposition by the fact that our admira =,
tion, will always be in proportion to its real
difficulty, and apparent ease. 1t is equally
corroborative Of my statement, that any
thing of confusion or obscurity, creative of
pause in the electric rapidity excited with
in rs BY genuine talent weakens, in some
sort, its influence, and impedes the full sue
cess of its power.
Patriotism, liberty, reform, and many
things have got a bad name by keeping bad
company for those who have ill inven-
tions, cannot afford 10 work With tools that
have i'll sounds. When IA hnave sailies torta to
deceive us, he dresses MP ms thoughts IN the
best words, AS naturally as his body IN his
best clothes; but they must expect Flemish
account that gave him credit either tor the
one or the other.
In proportion as nations get more corrupt
more disgrace will attach to poverty, and
more respect to wealth But there is two
questions that would completely reverse this
order of things; what keeps some persons
poor, and what has made somt others rich!
The true answers to these queries would of
ten make the poor man more proud OF his
poverty, than the rich man of his wealth /;
and the rich man more justly ashamed OF his
wealth, than the poor man, unjustly now is,
of his poverty.
Some praters are so full of their own CAB
bic, and 50 fond Of their own discord, that
they would not suspend their eternal mono
tonies, to hear the Wit of Sheridan, or the
point Of Swift; one might just as well at
tempt to stop the saw of a task working
stone cutter by the melodies OF an Eoiian
harp. Others again there arc, who hide
that ignorance in silent gravity, that these
expose by silly talk; but they are so coldly
correct, and so methodically dull, that any
attempt to raise the slumbering sparks Of
genius, by means of such Instruments, would
be to stir UP languishing fire with poker
of ice. There is Il third class, forming a
great majority, being heavy compound OF
the two furmer, and possessing many OF the
properties peculiar to each; thus they have
just ignorance enough to talk amongst fools,
and just sense enough to be silent amongst
wise men. They have no vlvacity in them
selves, nor relish for it in another; to at
tempt to keep up the ball OF conversation
with such partners, would be to play u game
Of fives against a bed OF feathers.

CARE.

u n hi~.
Care will dim the brightest eye,
While mournfully its tears are streaming,
And shadows round the brow will lie,
Where once the light of hope was beaming
Care will wither every rose,
That blushing blooms on beauty's check,
And chase away the smile which gows
On lips where Love home might seek.
Care will give mournfu tone <
TO voices that once spoke Of sadness,
And songs that breathed of JOY alone,
Are warbcd to the notes of sadness.
Care will haunt the youthful heart,
And give to gayest scenes gloom,
Till when as hope and peace depart,
Its victim finds All carly tomb.

than one place of worship. they seem to gal

And hopes awakened but to die

Lord Erskine-During the trial Of Horne
Tooke, Lord Erskiue felt himself aggrieved by
what he thought rudeness of manner on the
part of Lord Chief Justice Eyre, and IS said to
have taken the following method OF retaliation;
on one Of the DAYS in question, after the sitting
of the Court, Erskine being in room at the
Old Bailey, with the judges and Barristers as
sembled, for the purpose of dining together as
usual, the Chief Justice, upon dinner being an
nounced, took the lead, and was marching out
of the room in stately manner, when Ersklne
touched him gently on the arm, and preceded
him, saying, "Stop, my lord, you forget that
iere am entitled to precedence" alluding(to
ais privilege as an Earps son. The Chief JUS
dee submitted with visible modification. In
telling this story, Lord Erskine observed, that
aothing but strong provocation could have IN
Iuced him 10 take a step so repugnant to his
ceilings. He, at the same time, spoke hand
somely Of the Judges learning and talents.
