How sweet and fair she seems to be.
Tell her that's young,
And shuns TO have her graces spicd;
That had she sprung
In deserts where no men abide,
She must have uncommcnded died.

That are SO wondrous, sweet nnd fair.

HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD HUSBAND.


When you see a young man Of modest,
respectful, retiring manners, not given to
pride, to vanity or flattery, he will make a
good husband for he will be the same
kind man towards his wife, after marriage,
that he was before it.
When you see young man of frugal
and industrious habits, no "fortune hunt
er," but who would take wife for the va
lue of herself, and not for the sake Of her
wealth, that man will make good hus-
band, for his affection will not decrease,
neither will he bring himself or his partner
to poverty and want.
When you see young man, whose man
ners are of the boisterous and disgusting
kind, with "brass" enough to carry him
any where, and vanity enough to make
him think every one inferior to himself,
don't marry HIM, gmls, he will not make a
good husband.
When you see young man, who is US
ing his best endeavors to raise himself
from obscurity to credit, character, and af-
fluence, by his own merits, marry him he
will make good husband, and one worth
having.
When you see young man depending
solely for his reputation and standing in So
ciety, upon the wealth of mis- rich father or
other relations, don't marry him, for good
ness's sake he will make poor husband.
When you see young man, one halt of
his time employed in adorning his person,
or riding through the streets in gigs, who
leaves his debts unpaid, although frequent
ly demanded never, never, do you marry
him for he will in every respect make
bad husband.
When you see young man, who never
engages IN any alfrays or quarrels by day,
nor loilies by night, and whose general
conduct Is not OF so mean character as
to make him wish to conceal his name (;
who does not keep low company, gamble,
nor break the Sabbath, nor use profane
language-but whose face is seen regular
ly at Church, where he ought to be-he
will certainly make good husband
When young man, who is below you
in wealth, offers you marriage, don't deem
it a disgrace, but look into his character /;
and ifyou find it correspond with these di-
rections, take him, and you will get good
husband.
Never make money an object of mar
rage lor II you 40, oepend upon II, as
balance for the good, you will get bad
husband.
When you see young man, who is at
tentive and kind to his sisters, or aged
mother who is not ashamed to be seen in
the streets with the woman who gave him
birth and nursed him, supporting her weak
and tottering frame upon his arm. and who
will attend to all her little wants with filial
love, affection and tenderness, take him,
girls, who can get him no matter what
his circumstances in life he is truly worth
the winning aid having, and will in cer-
tainty make good husband.
Lastly, always examine into character,
conduct and motives, and when you find
these good qualities in young man, then
may you be sure he will make good hus-
band.

LUCRETIA GREENVILLE.


Francis, Duke of Buckingham, at the time
that he fell in battle by the hand OF Crom-
well himself, and upon receiving Intelli-
gence of the melancholy event, she swors
to avenge his death on the murderer
During the three succeeding years, she
exercised herself with pistols in firing at
portrait of Cromwell, which she had select
ed as a mark, that she might not be awed
by the sight of the original and as soon as
she found herself perfect, she sought an
opportunity to crafty her revenge. But
Cromwell seldom appeared in public, and
when he did, it was with such precaution,
that but few could approach his person.
An occasion at length occurred :---Ihe
city Of London resolved to give magnifi-
cent banquet in honor ofthe Protector who,
either from vanity, or with political view,
determined to make his entrance into Lon
don in the splendour of royalty. Upon this
being made public, the curiosity of all ranks
was excited and Lucretia Creenville re-
solved not to lose SO favourable an oppor-
tunity. Fortune herself seemed to second
her purpose: for it so happened, that the
procession was appointed TO proceed thro'
the very street in which she resided, and
full scope for putting her long premeditated
design into effect.
On the appointed day she seated herself,
with several other female companions in
the balcony, having on this occasion, for
the first time since her lovers death, cast
off her mourning, and attired herself in tho
most sumptuous apparel. 1t was not with.
out great eXertion that she concealed the
violent emotion under which she labored
and when the increasing pressure OF the
crowd indicated the approach Of Cromwell,
it became SO strong that she nearly tainted,
but, however, recovered just as the Usurper
arrived within few PAGES Of The balcony.
Hastily drawing the pistols from under
her garments, she fearlessy took her aiu
and fired but a sudden start which the
lady who sat next to her made, on behold
ing the weapon, gave it different direc-
ton than was intended, and the ball stri-
king the horse rode by Henry, the Protec-
tors son, it was laid dead at his feet
The circumstance Immediately arrested
the progress of the cavalcaGe and Crom-
well, at the same time that he cast fierce
look at the balcony beheld singular spec
tacle. About twenty females were on
their knees, imploring his mercy with up
lifted hands, whilst one only stood undaun-
ted in the midst of them, and looking down
contemptuously on the Usurper, exclaim-
ed, "Tyrant it was who dealt the blow
nor should be satisfied with killing a
horse instead of tiger, we're not con-
vinced that before another twelve month
has elapsed, Heaven will grant another that
success which it has denied to me r'
The multitude, actuated more by fear
than by love, was prepared to level the
house to the ground, when Cromwell cried
aloud, with the most ar.ful sang Goid,
"Desist, my friends alas, poor woman,
she knows not what she does" and pur-
sued his Course; but afterwards caused
Lucretia to be arrested and confined in a
mad-house.

INFANCY. Infancy is perhaps the finest
and most perfect illustration of simplicity.
II is state of genuine nature throughout.
The feelings Of children are under no re-
straint, but pure as the fire free as the
winds; honest and open as the face of
heaven. Their joys necessarily flow in the
thlckest succession and their griefs only,
seem fleeting and evanescent.
This has been considered, in all ages, as
one of the first and most captivating orna-
ments Of the sex. The savage, the plebe-
ian, the man of the world, and the courtier,
are agreed in stamping it with a .prefe-
renee to every other female excellence.
Nature only is lovely, and nothing unnar
tural can ever be amiable. Wherever sim
ce,ity prevails, and is felt, all the smiling
and benevolent virtues flourish most, DIS
close their sweetest lustre, and difTuse their
richest fragrance.
Heaven has not finer or more perfect
emblem on earth, than woman of gem
uine simplicity. She affects no gracea
which are not inspired by sincerity Her
opinions result not from passion and fan
cy, but from reason and experience. Ma
'ure, not art, is the great standard Of her
manners, and her exterior wears no var
nish or establishment, which is not the &C.
nuine signature Of an open, undesigning
and benevolent mind. Without simplicity
woman is a coquotts and hypocrie,

The funeral knel that walked US from our
dreams-the slow and gloomy march that
brought us to this fane-anG those solemn
sounds of prayer and anthem, still lingering in
our ears-tell US, my fellow-citizens, that a
melancholy occurrence-great and calamltous
has called US together. An occurrence, more
interesting in its character, and more universal
in its impression upon the public feeling, than
anv that has attracted our attention, since the
beloved Washington was removed from the
scenes of his earthly glory.
When a renowned statesman,a worthy pa
triot, or gallant soldier, sinks into the silent
tomb, we give vent to our wonted How OF pa
triotism, and exclaim in the fulness OF our
heartily great man has fallen in Israel
But if such be the strain of panegyric on ordi-
nary occasions,-when the departed worthy
leaves many an equal, and many superior be-
hind him.---where shall find language to DIS
charge that sacred duty, which your kindness
and misplaced confidence have imposed upon
me.
No ordinary men were they whom now we
mourn. In all the yitissitudes OF life, and III
their peaceful communion with death, they
were truly great. Great in the mtultVe pow
ers ofmind, and great in knowledge ana WIS
dom. In virtue, in patriotism, IN Phllanthro-
nv. and in every quality that exalts and adorns
our nature, they were great ina pre-eminen'
degree. But, alas! where are they now
Gone TO "that undiscovered country, from

disposer Of events, to summon INTO his august
rresence. those iHustrious and venerated Ia
theirs ofthe Republic--JEFFERSON and AID
ANS And impelled by an all-oervading gra-

nav the last sad tribute of atfectionate regard
TO their memories; to offer up the homage OF

our fervent prisons to heaven, with feeble and
unworthy eulogies Of the lsmented dead.
Surely, may say---thc beauty of our lsraelis

thew have fallen, full Of years and full OF honors;
and the blessings Of emancipated millions have
followed their spirits to those regions where
life is without end, and where sorrow never en-
,ers. We mourn their fall as becomes be-
reaved and grateful children, and yet, we find a
h.lu, in the reflection, that they had risen to
the most elevated height in the love and vene-
ration Of mankind, and that the feicitous ter
,n;nation of their mortal career trlamPhantly
paralyzed the sting of DEATH, and denied TO int

One little anecdote, however, which gave
relief TO the tragic tale, so much amused me that
cannot forbear TO repeat it. In their flight through
Germany, the femsle pant of the Generals family
were obliged to assume the guise OF English trav-
ellers, in order to eude the vigilance OF their enc
mics. As they had some knowledge OF the Ian
guage, to which was added similarity Of ma
tional dress, they succeeded iolerably we'll among
strangers Al length they were thrown in contact
with an English wa ting maid, who had emgrated

OF detection were here apprehendsl. But the poor

dess,anding them; and as they were supposed to
have left her native country at a much later period
than herself, she to the melancholy conclu-
sion, that by long residence abroad she had lost
her mother tongue
In the midst OF walks, conv ersations, and en-
Ioyments like these. the hour of dinner again came
