THE LADIES' FRIEND.

Calling upon young friend few days
since, / found her bathed in tears over
small volume she held open before her
Why Harriet, / exclaimed, what is the mat
ter? what disaster has befallen your 81 feel
ashamed" she answered, laying her book
down, ''but l have cried my eyes out over
the Sorrows OF Werter, l know you will
blame me, but the story dear madam is
founded on fact" And what do you cry for
Harriet? Is it for grief, that woman should
be SO weak, and a man so ridiculous? Or
do you weep over their merited sufferingsl
"Merited." exclaimed Harriet: ais not
Charlotte the most excellent of women, and
Werter the nobest and most amiable of
men," My young friend said | seriously, let
us analize their characters, and not be impos
ed upon by sentimental harangue. You know
am neither cynic nor a stoic.-Love and
friendship are the choicest blessings Of life,
and glory in the capablity feel of exert
ing both. But my dear, we should carefully
distinguish between those ennobling prin-
clples, and that fever of the brain, that
blind infatuation which is dignifed by their
names
We will pass over the ball scene, censura-
Die as it was, and begin after Charlotte be-
came the wife of Albert. You will readily
allow Harriet, that after woman is lawful
~ united to man, who was her own free
choice, whose character is unexceptonable,
and whose attachment has been long and
steady, she ought faithfully to perform her
marriage VOWS. What excuse then do you
make for Charlotte? You will say perhaps,
IN the true sentimental jargon, THAT love is
otlnd-that zve cannot resist the imhulse Of
me feehngs-that our affections are NOT in
our oaun hoyuer. &c. Mere words. my dear;
loye is not blind. (asking pardon of the po-
els;) we can resist the impulse of feelings;
, our affections are in our own power, Char
i,otte, and all presume to say, who like her
nave suffered affection to stray from de-
serving serving object, were actuated by vanity and
seli-iove. The sentimental rapture of Wer-
s Yer was soothing to her pride. Albert's love

It rains What lady loves rainy day
Not she who puts prunella on her feet,
zephyrs around her neck and silken socks
Upon graceful ancle-nor yet she
Who sports her tassePd parasol along
The walks, beau-crowhed on some sunny noon,
Or trips in muslin, in winter night
Or a cold sleigh ridc-to distant bali
She loves a rainy day who sweeps the hearth,
And threads the busy needle, or applies
The Scissors to the torn or thread-barc sleeve;
Who blesses God that she has friends and home;
who in the pelting of the storm, will think
of some poor neighbor that she can befriend;
Who trims the lamp at night and reads aloud
To young brother, tales he loves to hear,
Or ventures chcerfully abroad, to watch
The bedside of some sick and suffering friend,
Administering that best of medicine,
Kindness and tender care and cheering hope,
Such are not sad, cen on rainy day.

A SKETCH-RY CHARLES pISoLET

A SKETCH-RY CHARLES pIyGLET.
She knelt beside me, and mine eye once Glanced
Upon her form. Twas but glance-but meier
From my remembrance will it pass away.
Her arms were folded OH her breast--her head
Bowed down most mceky, as became the place;
And her dark eye brow, and still darker hair,
Shaded countenance, wherein was less
Of beauty than expression; it was pale
As the lily in the spring; ii bore
Some touches Of the frame and minds disease
Some marks Of hidden woe. Her half clos'd eye
Was bent to earth and shaded by lash,
Silken and shining as the ravens wingi
Her lip was motionless and it seemed
AS though her supriication sped at word,
Forth from lier poas bosom TO her God.
Ihcre was withered iowret on her breast--
Perciance an emblem of the hopes which there
Had blossometl-and there faded.
Ihavc viewed
Woman in many a scene-I have beheld
Her gay and glorious in the festive hall,
Eagre of conqucst--and too have marked
The winning anguish and seductive smile,
Both dear and dangerous to the youthful heart,
And have strayed with beauty by my side,
Tlro' the still glade at evenings penslve hour,
lIy the pale radiance Of the moon, whose beams
Hath syered DER her smiles, and she hath look'd
AS she had thrown her soul INTO her eyes:
Nav. have viewed her by the fevcrcd bed
Mscknsss, pillow the pale check, and battle
The fsnting brow, where like a form oflight
She whispered peace where else there had been
none.
Dut never by the side of woman yet
Such thrillings and unearth!y feelings stole
On my DER charged heart when saw
That pious maid communng with her God.

TIE DYING DAUGHTER TO HER FATHER.
My father, weep that my cheek has lost heahs rosy
glow,
And look not thus with fearful eye upon my wasted brow
lis hard die in YOUTH when hope fill every BREATH
But only when look thee, feel the sting OF death.
Long since knew would be thus-upon my sleeping ear
Came the stern voice Of DEATH in words Of terror and OF
fear,
And mid my waking visions too, within my lonely heart,
There we the secret consciousness that must soon de-
part
oh then how lovely seemed the world wheneer though
ON this
The very light and air of Heaven seemed redolent Of bliss
With how much rapture did gaze upon the earhs orsh'
When remembered would soon but be my burial place
All those sweet feelings, that within womans bosom dwell
And throw DER e's desert scene bright bewitch
ing spell,
Were in my heart-how could turn from all this light and
bloom,
Aud think upon the dark things hid beneath the silent omo
Nay weep not Father have learned to bow my stubborn
will;
The Power hat camsth swelling the rebel heart
Now could look with placid eye mine approaching fate'
But oh how can bear to die and leave thee desola

RESURRECTION IN COLOMBIA.

lNoO hhEC llON I'm COLOMBIA.
In the Mary Hobin, which arrived yesterday from
St. Thomas. came passenger Capt. r. Brooke,
Of the British army, on his way to England, with
dispatches from Sir Robert Ker Porter, British
Consul at Caracas, and the British Minister 10
Colombia, who was on board the frigate Galates
at Laguayra.
F,om this gentleman we learn that an nsurrec.
tion broke out at Valencia, "a town near Porto
Cayello,) on the 99h ult, the exact nature and OBJ.
ject Of which was not known, but it was reported
that the troops and Cabildos Of that city and Porto
Cayello had proclaimed General Paez the Chief Or
President Of Venezuela. This officer, to whom
the troops and people are said to be much attached,
had some time previously been recalled TO Boeo,a,
and Gen. ESQ aloha appointed his successor, bul he
with hi. staff in Valencia when the revolt took
place. Some lives were said to have been lost in
that city. General Marine was marching on Ca.
raccas at the head Of body oil troops, and expect
ed to enter on the 5h inst When Captain Brooke
left that place, the authorities did not intend to Offer
any opposition to the revolulIoniss but were pIepar.
ing to receive them. The merchants had been
called upon for supply of money, and had ad.
vanced 5000 dollars on securities of the Custom
house at La Guayra. 1t was feared this was only
the prelude to larger demands. An Embargo was
aid or all vessels at La Guayra on the 9TH inst
hut on that evening the Galaiea touched there on
her way to Carthagena. with the British Minister
on board, and at night the Embargo was taken of.
As some alarm existed among the merchants
was supposed that the frigae would remain until
confidence restored, and the object OF the re.
volt was deAnitively known-which vas generally
supposed to be the formation of Venezuela into
Federal State. .Merc. advertiser.
