WINTER EVENING.

/ like TO sill in my study in a winter
evening, when the wind blows clear ,and
the fire burns Lright. ii ! am alone,
sometimes love to muse loosely on a
thousand fits oi the imagination---to re-
mark the gentle agitatons OF the flame
to eye the mouse, that listens at his
knot hole and then runs quick across
the hearth-or dwell long on the singing
of the wood, when the heat drives out
the sap. believe that such revere
softens the heart, while it rclaxes the
body, for thus the senses are gral'hed IN
miniature. In the fire have the soitest
colors, and the sweetest and most various
undulations, and in the gentle music OF
the green stick there is melody for fair
les. No sense is particularly excited by
my silver grey, silkcn-footed, and crunlb-
nibLling animal, but perhaps he might
teach me lesson of prudence not to set
out on journey, until l have inquired
the dangers and difficulties Of the way.
While am in this state OF lonely musing
sometimes relapse unknowingly into
gricf-for my guardians are dead, and
my friends arc far from me, my years
arc Fastening away, "and evening with
its hollow blast murmurs of pleasures
never TO return" But this state l do
not like to indulge for sorrow grows by
musing-I therefore rouse myself from
fears that dishearten, to studies that
strengthen or exhilarate me-nnd when
have lighted cigar, and put on more
wood, track Park to the banks OF the
Niger, or mount the walls Of Rome
with " Bourbon and revenge" and close
the evening with an act from Shakespeare
the best Of poets and the wiscst of wri
tcrs.

under the pretext Of playing piquct, the
Marquis de Mascarillc, as Combiac had
created himself for this occasion, said
so many agreeable things, and played
lis part SO well, that the widow was per-
lecily delighted.
The idea Of having made conquest
of SD great a man, (ior titles must make
great men,) induced her TO treat. him
with the greatest aflability; and in a
short time, the marquis had made such
an impression, that he was admitted to
the house on the most intimate terms.
At length he told the old lady that he
! could no longer resist so many attrac-
tions, and that his life depended on her
returning his love. The widow blushed,
and the marquis went on to tell her that
he should not have hesitated so long IN
making his proposals, but that, being OF
an extremely jealous disposition, and as
madam had a marriagcabIc daug hter, he
should he always alarmed lest those who
came to ray their attentions TO her,
might be smit.en with the superior at
fractions of her mamma. "Thcrelore,
madam" he added, 81 beg you will
marry her without delay-and after that,
we shall live in a state of perfect bliss. "
Gross as this was, the old lady swa!-
lowed it; her extreme desire to be made
q marchioness, made her then regret, for
the first time, that she had refused her
daughters hand to Pastourd. She gra-
ciousIy accepted the marquis offer, and
told him that his wishes respecting Nj
chon should be complied with. On the
same day she sent for the chev aler, aud
told him that she would consent TO his
immediate marriage with her daughter.
Pastourd, who was Of course acquainted
with the plot, agreed to every thing
and in twelve hours afterwards was uni-
ted to Nichon
The day after the marriage, and as
the widow was expecting visit from
her marquis, she received from him the
following letter:
"I am extremely gricved, madam,
that business Of importance compels me
TO 90 into Gascony, from whence | have
received letters, stating that the greater
part of my property Gncluding my pa
tent of nobility, which had been prcscrv-
ed by my i!ustrious anceslors with the
greatest care, from the time of the del
uge) has been destroyed by fire. All
that remains to console me under this
loss and disappointment, (for, without
fortune or title, how can pretend to the
honor of your handy is, that | have
been the instrument of bringing about
your daughters marriage; and, in bid
ding you farewell forever, permit me to
advise you, in case you should receive
any more offers of marriage, TO inquire
n little more cautiously after the gentle
man than you did respecting your
MAsCARILLE."
1t is Of course impossible to describe
the lady's Indignation at being thus
grossly deceived and affronted, for she
now saw through the whole affair. She
went into the country, and declared she
would never return. Time, however,
changed this determination; and the
apologies and forbearance Of her SON.
In-law, and the affectionate attentions of
her daughter, induced her to forgive
them, and to abandon that silly vanity
which might have destroyed her happi-
ness.

POETRY.
DIRGE.

The following Dirge is supposed 10 have Deer
upg, by the Mohican Indians, over the body o
heir chief u UScAs, slain in an encounter with tn
Iiurons.*
Its very pretty little poem, and was we be
love, frs, published in Buffalo paper 1t
certainly worth reading and preserving.
Suns shall sci and moons shall rise,
Amber twilight paint the skies,
Rock and glen and mountain ring
With the fret sweet voice Of sprisg,
Torrent rage. and whirlwind roar
lie shall never know them more.
He, the uniorgotttn dead,
Ne'er shall see the sun To bed,
Nor the rising moon on high,
Igh. her watch. tower in the sky,
Nor :he coy Savannah glide
Like snake in steaithy prile,
Nor the deep woods echo shr;ii
To tho hunter on the hill
lie is gone, the young; the gay,
. Thus the mighty Ia.away!
lie wa. true Of heart and limb,
Grace and manhood met in him;
a. lid in peace. but fcrcer far,
Than the spotted Lynx, in war;
When the din Of arms was loud,
Crash ON crash like thunder cloud,
When the bullets, fierce and fast,
Spoke ofmurder as they past.
lie was there amid the strife,
Scourge OF many Huron wife;
Awful rs a god he stood,
Ruthless rs a mountain food;
Death with voice Of sinnt roar,
Moved 5c:i'le him, yelled in gore;
Destiny, with lightning glance
Lit his radiant countenance
But 'tis done, his hour is past,
Anl his pride is bowel at last;
Fast beside his home he lies;
Mute his voice, and closed his eyes:
Shall he burst his slumbers? Never!
Ills, the sleep that lasts forever.
Hark, the thunder! tits his call,
From his fathers airy hall;
Loud the whirwind roars on high,
'Tis his spirit passing by
TrAmble now, ye IIlrons, sorrow
Waits yolr war-tri5c on the morrow;
He, the murdered, he, The brave,
Rising bloody from his grave,
Claims revenge, his bier to grace.
On your doomed and recreant race
BY your falling streams and floods,
BY your deep-dyed waving woods,
by your rocks, whi:h dark and rude,
Frown ia spectral solitude;
Know, n spirit ha gone forth.
Like u wllrlwin, from the North,
Neyer-never to repose,
Till its destined Huron foes,
Warrior brave, and prophet lonc,t
Child and parent;-all are gone.

FAIR INES.

FAIR INES.
40 saw ye not fair Ines?
She's gone into the West,
To dszzle when the sun is down,
AMI rob the world Of rest:
She took our daylight with her:
The smiles that we love best,
With morning bushes on her check,
And pearls upon her breast.
. o turn again fair Ines,
Before the fall Of night,
For fear the moon should shine alone,
And stars unrivalled bright;
And blessed will the lover be
That walks bene.Sl their light,
AMI breathe, the love against Thy check
dare rot even write!
WouidI had been, fair lues,
That gallant cavalier,
Who rode so gaily by thy side,
And whispered thee so near!
Were tnere no bonny DANES a; home,
Or no true lovers here,
That he should cross the seas % win
The dearest Of the DEAR
Isiw thee lovely Ines
Descend along the shore,
With bands Of noble gentlemen,
Aud banners waved before.
And gentle youth and maidHa. gay,
And snowy plumes they wore,
1t would have been b aauteous dream
Ifh had been no more.
Alas, alas! fair Ines,
She went away with song,
With music waiting on her steps,
And shoutings Of the throng;
But some were sad and folt no mirth,
Bat only Music's wroIc,
Ia SQUADS that saag farewell, farewell!
To her you've loved so long.
Farewell, farewell fair Ihes.
That vessel never bore
So fair lady on its deck,
Nor danced so light before.
Alas Tor pleasure on the sea,
And sorrow on the shore!
The smile that blest one lovers heart
H,th broken many more"

rest on the unbroken testimony, mol
merely Of friends, but also o acute and
inveterate enemies.
z. Lastly, the infdelis still impeded
by toe most ~perplexing difficulties, il
from the external he directs his atten
| ton to the internal evidence of Chris
%tianity. In the case Of all acknowl
edged im~postures, their leading char
acteristics constitute that v J internal
evidence, by which they are the most
strongly and individually evinced be
impostures. But the leading charac
teristics of Christianity, in respect
both of its author and ofitseIf, are the
precise opposites Of the leading char
acterislics of all false religions. There
fore. by the rule Of conirarles, II the
leading characteristics of false religions
demonstrate their ~laisehood; the lead
ing characteristics Of Christianity mus
demonstrate its tuth. Unless this be
admitted, we maintain ~ effect; thai
directly opposite premises may bring
on, precisely the same conclusion. TIC
such a position the theory of the infde.
will be found inevitably to conduct
him. Let him disguise his reasoning
as he may, it truly and ultimately a.
mounts to this: that Two men and two
religious systems, though respectively
marked by characteristics in all points
dramatically opposite to each other ,are
vet to be viewed as mutually possess
ing precisely the same character.
Hence results the plain conclusion
that, since Mfdeliiy IS sneumbered By
more and greater difficulties than Chris
tianity, to adopt the Lnfdsf system euince
more creduIiiy than to adopt the Chris
tian system.
