A EARLE.


A gadding Bee, being delighted with
a web which a spider was finishing, re-
quested him to weave her a cloak of the
same texture, and proposed paying him
in honey. The Spider consented ; the
cloak was made, and two of the hive
were sent loaded with honey to bring il.
The fancy took with most of the bees,
they must barter with the Spiders, they
mus, all have cloaks, particularly those
who were fondcr of gadding than of
making honey. 4 few of the industrious;
dissatisfied with the measure, urged the
following argument. Many of our la
bouring hands, said they, will be taken
off to traffic with the spiders ; others in
visiting to show their fimsy finery ; the
industrious must do double labour !; our
stock will be reduced /; and the hive will
want that honey which you are sporting
away for cob-web garments. This ar
gument had no effect ; the trade was pur-
sued through the summer, the stock was
exhausted in the fall ; they slept as usual
through the winter, and in the spring
were without supplies.

TO L.

] do confess thou'rt smooth and fair
And | might have gone near to love thee,
Had | not found the slightest prayer
That lips could speak, had power TO move thee
But ] can let thee now alone
As worthy to be loved by none.
| DO confess thou'rt sweet, yet find
Thee such an unthrlit OF thy sweets
Thy f.. ours are bat like the wind
That klsseth every thing il meets,
And SINCE thou canst with more than ono,
Thoa'rt worthy TO be kissed by none.
The morning rose, that untouched stands,
Armed with her briars how swectly smells!
But piucked and strained through ruder hands,
Her sweet no longer with her dwe!ls,
But scent and beauty both are gone,
And leaves fall from her, one by one.
Such fate ere long, will thee betidc,
When thou hast handled been awhile,
Like scar flowers to be thrown aside,
And 1 shall sigh while some will smile,
To see thy love for more than one
Hath brought thee to be loved by none.

POETRY.

Sir ROBERT AYTos, Secretary Of State to the Scot
fish Queens, Mary and Anne, enjoyed a high reputation
as a Poet, and was probably one of the %baPpiest bards oil
those times, as he lived in the full enjoyment of the con-
hdence Of their Maesiics, and what is rare for a Poet
also possessed an abundance Of the goods Of this world.
There was always a vein Of rich and refined sarcasm
running through his numbers but he sometimes melted
into tenderness and love, and on those occasions, has
muse emitted strains of plaintiye and moody melancholy,
which the noblest Of British bards have rarely equalied.
The following hines, extracted from an old English edi-
ton Of his poems, were addressed to a fair Letltia, by
SIR Robert, in a moment OF Indignation, and had the
salutary efec, of redeeming her from coquettry, and OF
ultimately restoring her to the bosom Of the signing and
much injured Poet. We select them, because they are,
IN our opinion, the best the author ever wrote, and be-
cause other Poets have attempted to initiate them
without success. Burns did this in his stanzas COM
mencins
81 do confess thou art so fair,
wad been DER the Tugs IN love-"
and although IN has attempt was somewhat more sue
csssfIl ia. II his cotemporaries, they fell ir behind the
example.

HOPE

Hope. wha, is hope! A magic flower,
Sprung up TO c~aptiyate the sense
That by It's fascinating power,
Can lull the soul TO sweet suspense;
Invites tn approach, aud blooms moro fair,
While gazing on it with the eye;
But at the touch, its look and air,
Transformed, shrink back, and fade and die
Say, what is Hope ! That reeting light,
Which on the travellers lonely way,
Sheds a delusive CLEAN by night,
To lead his doubtful steps astray,
Hope! what is Hope 7 An Iris ray;
Whose hues surprising human art,
Glow brightest in the falling spray
But vanish when they We won the heart!
Say, wha, is Hope ! An aerial sound,
Which Oft transports the soul to Heaven,
To range Elyslum's endless round
In Iancy's dream-thence 10 be be driven
I've sought thee, and have eyed Thy COURSE
Have followed through each changing scene
Once looked upon thee US the source
Ofearthly ~!oy--of bliss supreme
And oft, when lowering tempests irowncd
Upon my path, and cast IL gloom
On every hand, I've thought | found
Thy freshness in u~nfadlng bloom.
y! shall ! ever ascertain
Thy Proteus character through life,
Who now am suffered to remain
In twilight, torn by bosom strife
Perchance that time may break the charm,
Disclose thee, and extract the sting
III wait-nor dare conjecture harm
Of thee, thou dear bewitching thing
III wait awhile-the sun may rise,
Though now the horizon be o'ercast
TIL blaze OF day dispense the guise,
And tranquillze my soul at last /!

II, instead of wandering after the me-
teors Of philosophy, which fill the world
with splendor for a while, and then sink
and are forgotten; the candidates of learn
ing fixed their eyes upon the permanent
l"stre Of moral and religious truth, they
would fnd a more certain direction 10
happiness. A little plausibility of dis
course, and acquaintance with mnecessa-
ny specuIations, is dearly purchased,
when it excludes those instructions which
forti(y the heart with resolution, and ex-
alt the spirit to independence.

Days, months and years does she sit as you now be-

of complaint, cares not what passes around her, and

Disguised with a country where my beloved

In ACCOMPLISHED woman never can

An accomplished oma never can
become an object Of neglect ; she must
always remain an, object of distinction
among her acquaintance. When she
was young she might please more |; but
as even then she pleased chiefly by her
mind, she will therefore continue to
please still. The discerning few, at least
will discover in her beauties, which
neither the inroads of age, nor the rava-
ges of sickness can deface. When, "de-
clined into the vale ofyears," she will
still from the superiority of her %cllarac-
ter, stand forth an exalted figure. Sense
and capacity, joined to worth and sweet
ness, are exempted from the condition OF
all things which are { 0 lose their innu-
ence when they lose their novelty. "The
ornament of grace which wisdom shall
give to thy hand" will not appear with
less ~luslre, when inirmity shall cause
that head to shake. The crown of glory
which she shall deliver to thee, will in
reasons eye, receive new dignity from
grey hairs ; or rather, according t o our
inspired author, those "grey hairs are'
themselves ga crown OF glory, being
found in the way Of righteousness"
Do you know a woman far advanced
in life but yet in virtue and understand
ing, who with mild ~insinuation, employs
them to render wise and happy those
about her, especially the young ; who
for such in particular, makes every kind
allowance, not forgetting those early
days, when she too stood in need of in.
diligence ; who, when her health will
permit, takes pleasure in seeing herself
surrounded by a circle Of youth inno-
Gently gay, condescending ever to mix

As daily experience makes it evident
that misfortunes are uuavoidably incident
to human life, that calamity will neither
be repealed by fortitude nor escaped by
flight /; neither awed by greatness, nor
eluded by obscurity +; philosophers have
endeavoured to reconcile us to that con-
dition which they cannot teach us to
mend, by persauding us that most of our
evils are made affective only by igno-
rance or perverseness, and that nature
has annexed to every vicissitude Of ex-
ternal circumstances, some advantage
sufficient to overbalancs all it convenien-
ces.

in their little sports, and by a graceful
complacency Of look, and pleasing re-
mainder of ancient humor, to encourage
and promote their harmless amusement ?
Do you know such a woman |? Then
speak your opinion freely. Will this
youthful circle be in any danger of des-
pising, because she is old? On the con-
trary, will they not contend with one
another, who shall pay her most venera-
ton, who shall stand highest in her af-
lection? Can you conceive a character
more respectable, and at the same time
more amiable /! What is there good or
excellent, TO which she will not have it
in her power to give them?
In truth, most of the grievances com
planned Of by mortals, are selfcreated.
They proceed from that fondness of fan
cy which gives CONSCIENCE to triAes, or
from those gusts Of passion which pro-
duce agitation without a cause. But,
next to the power of religion, can you
imagine any means of avoiding both, so
probable as the wise and calm pursuits
10 which l would not persuade you
Permit me, my beloved hearers, to- sue
coed. Defer not, by the cultivation of
your m;nds, as well as hearts, to lay in
a store Of enjoyment and comfort, such
as you can repair to in secret, when all
abroad is unsolacing and insipid.
Every thirg external is Mastering to
change and dissolution. You yourselves
are gliding inScnsibly down the current
of time. You are on your passage to
eternity and can you bear the thoughts
of resigning a passage as important as it
is short, to the blind impulse of chance,
caprice, and ignorance? Or, suppose
you are SO careful of consequences as to
secure a safe %arrival. /; can you, like H.
~litcrate and injurious mariners, sailing
by some beautiful coast, be satisfied to
hurry along without attending to the va
rions prospects and numerous objects
which nature and art have spread out
before you or, without taking advan-
tase of the best assistance you can find
on your voyage, to improve in whatever
is instructive, ornamental, and praise
worthy? Have you forgotten that, when
landed on the blissful shore. your felici-
ty will bear no inconsiderable proper
ton to your present %a,tainments in know
ledge; that the most enlarged underta-
kings, where the dispositions have been
of a piece, will be rewarded by the no
blest discoveries-in short, that they who
shine now with the fairest lights Of wis
dom, shall, like the more distinguished
stars of heaven, be crowned hereafter
with superior splendor?

Tpeyh Night
It was on one of those intensely warm days in
August, wnen the sun poured forth his scorchins
rays, and overcame the traveller with his repelling
influences, that accompanied by Emma, as
cended TIE rugged heights of the Cumberland,
which tower their submits to the skies, AMI i'm
pedc the progress of the clouds.
Fatisued with a tedious journey over the vast
chain Of the Alleghanies, and sinking beneath the
rays of a midday sun, we slowly wendell our way
up the mountain, and wished a thousand times that
it had pleased nature, when she formed the world,
to have made it one vast and level plain. Emma,
absorbed in meditation spoke not, and her express
sive countenance, which on most occasions dimpled
a sweet smile Of complacency and joy, now wore the
gloon of silent sadness, discomfort and anxiety. As
our horses dragged themselves up the sides Of the
majestic height, | watched her htently, and ever
and anon could discover the tear drop glitter in
her soft blue eye, that expressive index Of her soul
which to ne had so often expressed the soitest Ian
guage OF friendship and Of love. " Pray Emma said
], why this sadness, Z" why this unintelliglble apathy
and gloom Why wears TINT lovely face the aspect
of deep rooted grief? Tell me dearest girl, the
cause of thy 'u ierinss and thy sorrows-let me par
ticicLte with thee in thy afllctions-if | can soften
thy distresse..' As | spoke she turned toward me
with an affected smile, aud replied-'tis nothing tbs
Of no consequence, but, | never can cross this pass,
but what undergo unpleasant feelings, for it was
here on this rude mountain, that we first found a
secure retreat, after our flight from our pursuers -

But let's hasten up the mountain, for ! fear night
will oyertske us ere we reach a human habitation.
