life and strong in DEATH as she breathes her
last sigh in a prayer for the welfare of her
children.
Remembrance hovers over every incident,
in those calm and blissful days, when her
presence gave life its charm THAT aftec-
ton which turned aside the arrows of misfor
tune; that gentleness which alleviated the
pangs of distress; that tenderness which
smoothed the pillow Of sickness; that hand
which held the aching head in pain; that pi-
ETY. and that sanctity which kindled in our
heart the pure fame of devotion; those
smiles which beamed upon us, and ever the
brightest when the world was frowning; and
that unaltcrable love which supported us
amidst it's unkindness and ingratitude, can
these ever be forgotten? Can we call to
mind without deep emotion the scenes OF the
death chamber, the beloved tace fast fading
at the touch of dissolution; and the fond fare
we'll; the fervent prayer for us which ceased
but with parting life? Callous and hardened
must be the heart of that child, who can be-
hold without powerful emotion the memori-
ais of deceased parent. No. the heart
must swell, and the eye must weep, when
we visit that closet where we corversed with
God together, and find the abcde OF solitude
and desolation Of heart; when we look OH
| the DAYS that are to come, and behold the
dark current of existence strewed with the
wreck Of cur broken hopes and ruined
schemes: and feel that we must travel N
Loneliness along the pathway OF being, be,
rcft of those who, by sharing, heightened
our pleasure, and who, by dividing, alleviat
cd our SORROWS"

EI.ECTIONEERING.

A gentleman in the state OF hentucky'ln
letter to his friend in New-England, gives
the following specimen of clectioneering in
the west.
In one Of the neig boring counties, very
resnectable man, Gas is sometimes the case)
came out as a Representative for the Legis-
lature. His opponent was well ted rustic,
Who had to recommend him not only great
corporeal strength, but also the reputation OF
beinr a good fiddler. TO make the best use
of his qualifications he gave the people TO
understand that they might have dances as
eften as they pleased, and he would fiddle
for them gratis. The other candidate, a
Mr.. Mason, soon found that the current OF
nonularity was setting so strong in favor OF
thr msty fiddler, that his chance of success
w,s hepcless. unless he could devise some
.nlan to change the current. The fiddler gave
= Grand bali, (or at least his services,) tc
which all were invited. Mason was present
,monr the rest, and in the midst of their HI
IaritvS he observed that the fiddler played
With his left hand. He directly whispered
into the ear of one ofthe country danes, that
the fiddler was imposing upon the company
When he is in town, said Mason, ne pia!S
with his right hand, but he thinks that lett
hand music is good enough for country folAs
The bali was soon in an uproar, and SO eA-
asperated were they with the insulting lid
dler. that he had no other alternative thar
to give right-hand music, or leave the Hall
To comply with the former he could not
and with the latter, he was enabled to, b.
the assistance of his auditors. The conse
uence was that he lost his election.

MENTAL CAPABILITIES OF FEMALE

MENTAL CAPABILITIES OF FEMALES.
Every impartial rcasoner will allow with

every respect to man though it may, and
often does, lie under partial neglect, 1t by
no means implies that women have not ade-

credit on his feelings-he views the subject
las he should, and reasons justly-yet, not
all from his own ideas; he adopts the opin"
ions OF eminent philosophers, and the tradi-
tion OF ages. The positions he advances are
supported by indisputable arguments. Fe-

Bolivar was destroyed, and Rodil was then
to rush into the city with his troops.

which we went. The building is any thing
but palace in appearance it originally
could have had no beauty of architecture,
aud is now, as you may suppose, in great de-
cay, having been built and inhabited by Pi-
zarro. Since the commencement of the Re-
volution, it has been stripped of every thing
valuable, by every party which entreed AL

them nor is at it all surprising, that females
seldom shone very conspicuously on the
stage of life, while man withheld from them
that rank and influence, which their sex
demanded, and which nature intended. The
times are gone when it was thought sin or
a shame for female to write letter !
The times are gone too, when it was Thought
impossible for woman to learn Latin or
Greek; this supposition has often been de-
monstrated to be false, for women have not
only approved themselves proficicntsi in Lat
in and Greek, but also in Hebrew.
We find, on reference to the page OF his
tory, that women have displayed more mem
tai exertion, and real intrepidity, than are
often found in the opposite sex. Females
have governed states--presided at councils
adjusted disputes; they have headed ar
mics, and endured the toll of body and ia
tigue of mind, which are inseparable from
protracted and arduous campaigns.
In the literary world, the rank which te-
male writer's hold, is far from being incon-
siderable. Dramatic compositions are just
" considered the highest, and in this spe-
cies of writing they have obtained a conspic-
uous place nay, even in the more obstrnsc
departments of science, philosophy and the
mathematics they have excelled. The female
mind has been found capable ofreasoning or
the hypothesis Of Locke--of commenting on
the various positions of Reid--and of expa-
tiating on a proposition Of Euclid, by tht
most subtle and mathematical reasoning O
