MONKS.

It's certainly to solitary Monks that we owe the
preservation OF the most precious remains of ar
Gent literature. We must consider Their silent
mansions as having afforded the only retreat to sci
ence and literature in ages when universal g
norance threatened to Danish from Europe every
species OF learning. The sublime productions of
the greatest genuses of Athens, and Rome found a
secure as5 ium in the retreats of religion The
church, which has adopted the Greek and Latin
languages, always employ ed them. and without this
circumstance an universal ignorance would proba
by have prevailed Men were wanted. wbc. ST.

and by the same zeal; living in common under the
same regulations, and who were wiling to elnnlov
the leisure Of their solitude to the laborous occuna
ton OF endless transcription. 1t is fortunate for let
tiers that this body subsiseed; no individuals whose
minds would have been di,sipated BY public mat.
tefs could have given themselves up to such long
and painful lsbours; and this is one of the great adj
vantages which we derive from those industrious

night and have been clear down to Mrs.
Ciossip's. to see if she knew of any other

Mrs. A.-Worse and worse: l don't be-

had the impudence this morning to try to
coax the cook away, and offered to give her
dollar month more wages. wish with

MIR. A.--Wcll, my dear. it is bad enough
to be sure But your repentance has come
altogether too late. These things should
have been thought OF before. AS it is. we
must endure the evils, get the house in or

We can for day or two, and perhaps can
prevail upon old Beeswax to let Cesar, or
Mark Antony, or what's his name, come and
do the white washing for you.
The foregoing is no ideal picture. Every

the same situation as that OF poor Mr.. Art

to live in more fashionable streets; some
from love Of change; some in reality to
lessen their expenses; and some TO increase
them; and hundreds and thousands 40 no'
