But this he saw was not possible, to be
done, without the Kings consent. He
then, in the humblest and most cunning
manner wrote to Frederic to obtain his
permission, alleging that both his health
and affairs required his departure
But the more crafty King, who probably
saw through the design, returned this
short, but a0ectionate answer: My

EXEMPLARY PUNISHMENT.

The Earl Of Derby, in the reign Of

the better sort of farmers, and would of.

for fools and wan,on women for wise

One day his lordship coming TO cour,
in plain riding coat, he was, by one Of
the Scottish attendants, denied entrance
into the privy chamber, who said to him,
" CATER, this is no place for you the
king has no occasion for ploughmen
none come here but men of quality; and
gentlemen with rich habits" To which
the Earl replied" that he had OIL such
clothes as he always used to wear, and
fthe Scots were to do so, they would
make but mean figure in the English
court in their Scotch plaids and blue
bonnets." The king hearing dispute
at the chamber door, stepped forward,
and asked what was the occasion ? To
whom the Earl replied, " nothing, my
liege, but your countrymen, having left
their rags and manners behind them in
Scotland, neither know themselves nor
their betters." The king being angry
at the affront offered to so great man,
said, My good Lord Derby, am sor.

want; and, to make your lordship satis-

That love which was my own.

Or see the briny waters gush

With an eye Of dark lusre, that flashes with light,

In Emily's eye read an answer in light.

EDWARD HOWARD.

There are few persons who do not feel
pleasure in looking back to the days
Of childhood-it is a beautiful season of
delight. The young heart .t peace with
itself, and with the world, and as passion
less as the calm waters Of the sunny
stream, is gay and happy in its youthful
simplicity; and it would be well if the
impressions we have of human nature and
of life, as it is presented to our glowing
imagination, were indelibly stamped
but then comes the season, when the judg-
ment is mature, the mind more reflect
ing. We are introduced to nearer ac-
quaiDtance with the world, and our ideas
become changed;-deceit, treachery and
selfshness, are found to exist, where we
dreamed all was fair, and the heart is now
taught to look OH life with suspicious
eye. This is the period for the vivid
,ints OF fancy to (ade-for the bright and
treasured anticipations to vanish before

and having no relatives, and but few
friends there, he was led 10 adopt those,

ceitful. Edward loved with all the en-
lhusias,ic feelings of his nature, an ariless
and lovely girl; and he was happy in the
idea, that il was so ardently returned 81

Go, my Son, said the eastern sage
Muza, to young Talmor, go forth to the
world ; be wise in the pursuit of knowl-
edge-be wise in the accumulation Of
riches-be wise in the choice of friends :;
yet little will this avail thee, if thou choo.
sest not wisely the wife of thy bosom.
When the rulers of the people echo
thy sayings, and the trumpet Of fame
sends thy name abroad among the ma
tions; more beautiful will the sun ofthy
glory set, If o..e bright cloud reflects its
brightness, and sullIed for ever will be
splendor of thy rays, if like a dark spot
she crosses its surface,
Consider this then, my son, and look
we'll to her ways whom thou wouldest
love for little will all else avail thee if
thou choosest not wisely the companion
ofthy bosom. See yonder, the maidens
of Tinge. They deck themselve with
the gems Of Goldconda and the rose of
Observation-Disclosures more brilliant
and beautiful but ah /? take them not
to thy bosom (; for the gem will grow
din, and the rose wither, and nought
will remain to thee of all thou didst WOO
and win.
Neither turn thyself to the proud one
who vaunts herself on having scanned
the pages Of Vedas, and fathomed the
mysteries of the holy temple. Woman
was not born to WELD the sceptre, or d.
rect the council to reveal the mandates
OF Brama, or expound the sacred verses
OF Menu. Rather be it hers to support
thee in grief and sooth thee in sickness ;
to hide thy faults and forgive thy weak
nesses to rejoice in thy prosperity and
cling to thee in adversely. Reflect then
MY SON, ere thou choosest, and look to
her ways whom thou wouldst make the
wife of thy bosom.
A wife what a sacred name, what a
responsible Office She mus, be the un-
spotted sanctuary to which wearied man
may flee from the crimes of the world,
and feel that no sin dare enter there. A
"A wife she must be as pure as spirits
around the everlasting Throne, that man
may kneelto her even in adora,ion. and
feel no abasement. a wife she must
be the guardian angel of his footsteps on
earth and guide them to heaven: so firm
in virtue that should he for a moment
waver, she can yield him support and re-
place him upon its firm foundation so
happy III conscious innocence, that when
from perpexities of the world he returns
to his home, he may never find frown
where he sought smile, Such, MY SON
thou seekest in wife; and reflect well
ere thou choosest.
Open not thy bosom to the trifers !:
repose not thy head on the breast which
nurseth envy; and folly, and vanity
Hope not for obedience where passions
are untamed; and expect not honor from
her who honoreth not the God that made
her.
Though thy.place be next to the
throne of princes, and the countenapce

IT'S midnight Through the dusky pines
The uight wind family sighs-the dew
Just twinkled on the leaf as shines
The starlight from its home Of blue -
Around how calm .--above how clear -
No murmur wakes an echo here.
The broad deep river noseless flows,
The ripple on the shore expires
Without a sound-its bosom glows,
Another sky with all its fires.
Aud glasses purely deeply down
Nights raven brow and starry crown.
Far down the winding silent bay,
Where wave aud sky uniting sweep
In darker hnes-a trembling ray
Comes cleaning DER the mirrord deep.
Bright-bright amid the horizons gloom,
Il CLOVIS, like Hope above the tomb.
Through many a wild and stormy night,
Amid the tempests gathering war
AMI Kissing wrsth-that cresset's light
Above the surge has beamed-a star
To cheer the seam,n's eye-when dark
And dsships pillows smote his barque.
But thus--when heaven and earth are still,
Aud cen yon snowy wild swans cry
is hushed-no echo from the hill
And wiads are sleeping in the sky
How pure that midnight beacon gows,
The brooding Spirit of Repose.
But see yon eastern blooj-red streak.,
Deepening along Nights starry band. -
Slow rising DER the wood crowned peaks,
Whose shadows sweep the distant strand,
Peers forth the Queen of Nisht-but now
The crown is fading on her brow.
Her slrnce is on the deep-so dim
And joyless Ger the blue wave bending,
You scarce may mark, on Oceans brm,
Yon white sail with the sea-mist blending
Away !-how pale its white wing dies,
Like some pure spirit Of the skies.
Lone, lovely Night in hours like this,
TO Heaven first rose my raptured eye,
And pictured forms, in dreams oi bliss,
Came floating through thy shadowy sky:
Gay dreams Of youth they could not stay,
But ded like yon lone sail away,
Pure, placid Night with thee deem
My spirit fresher AS thy dews
Awake the wither ing fowers--and CLEAN
Upon their fading leaflets hues-
Thy starlight, DER my spirits gloom,
Sends )wn beam OF former bloom.
In vain the flowers Of earth may fade,
And smile once more beneath thy dew;
But Joy, and Hope, and Love decayd,
No blushins tints Of youth renew:
The drops ofheaven descend in vain
The witherd heart ne'er blooms again. Brow.
