" HIGHWAYS AND BYE WAYS.o

We are all on journey. The world
through which we are passing is in some
respects like a turnpike-all along which
Vice and Folly have erected tol-gates, for
the accommodation Of those who choose to
call in as they go--and there are very few
of all the host Of travellers who do not stop
at some or another of them-and conse-
quently pay more or less to the toll gather
ers. Pay more or less, say, because there
is great variety, as well in the amount as
in the kind Of toll eXacted at the different
stopping places.
Pride and Fashion take heavy tolls Of the
purse-many man has become beggar
by paying at their gates--the ordinary fees
they charge are heavy, and the road that
way is none of the best.
Pleasure offers very smooth, delightful
road in the outset, she tempts the traveller
with many fair promises, and wins thousands
but she taxes without mercy-like an
artful robber, she allures till she gets her
victim in her power, and then strips him of
health and money and turns him off, a mis-
cradle object, into the wolst and most rug
ged road of life.
Intemperance plays the part of a sturdy
villain He's the very worst toll-gather on
the road-lor he not only gets from his Gus
toners their money and their health, but he
robs them of their very brains.-The men
you meet in the road, ragged and ruined in
fame and fortune are his visitors.
And so | might go on enumerating many
others who gather toll of the unwary.
Accidents sometimes happen, it is true,
along the road, but those who do moi get
through at least tolerably well, you may be
sure to have been stopping by the way at
some of these places. The plain common
sense men, who travel straight forward,
get through the journey without much diff
Guilty.
This being the state Of things it be-
comes every one, in the outset, if he intends
to make comfortable journey, to take care
what kind of company he gets in with
We are apt to do good deal as our COM
panions do--stop where they stop-and pay
toll where they pay Ten chances to one,
then, but our choice in this particular de-
cides our fate

The following limos were writtcn by Lord Byron,
in the Lvre des Estranger, of the Union Hotel at
Chamouni. They are highly indicative of the eccen-
trio muse of the greatest Of modern bards, and
the perusal of them will afford the reader a rich
,reat.-In one part Of them, Byron very happily
alludes to Jeffrey and Clifford; those unsparng crit
les, at whose hands, his earlier poems met with a
rude and unmanly reception.
How many numbered, and how few agreed
In age, in cline, in character or creed
Here wandering Genius leaves an unknown name
And folly wrtes-for Others do the same;
Italian treachery and English pride,
Dntch craft and German dulness side by side
The hardy Russian halls congenal snow;
The Spaniard shivers as the breezes blow.
Knew we the objects Of this varied crew
TO stare how many and to feel how few
Here natures child, ecststc from her school,
And travelling problems that admire by rule
The tmorous poet woos his modest Muse,
And thanks his stars he's safe from all Reviews;
The pedant drags from out his motley store
line some hundred hills have heard before:
Hero critics too (for where's the happy spot
So blessed by nature az to have them not y
soit their vile SANDER DER some simple phrase
OF foolish wonder or Of honest praise
Some pompous hint, some comment on mine host,
Some dreadful failure, or some empty boast;
Not blacker spleen could Gil these furious men
n Jeffery's soul bad perched on Ciford's pen!
Here envy, hatred, and the fool Of fame,
Joined n one act Of wonder when they came;

POEERY.

The stanzas which will be found below, are
from the pen Of Mrs. HARRIET MUzzy, former
~ Miss Harriet Godfrey, of this town. Mrs.
MuzzY, we learn, has migrated TO Philadelphia,
and has been engaged, rs regular contributor to
the Album, a very interesting, and ably conduct
cd literary paper, published and edited by Thomas
c. Clarke, Esq. formerly of Newport, gentle
man of very handsome literary attainmonts, and a
very respectable poet. We congratulate Mr.
Clarke, on the circumstance Of his having secur-
ed the talents Of so gifted contributor Mrs.
Mnzy, and feel confident, that he Will realize
much benefit from her labodrs.
Mrs Muzzy, has been, by one Of the most pop
uar critics of the times, pronounced quite equal
TO Mrs. Hemans. a writer, and we think that
the stanzas wo7 now copy, are among the happi-
est of her efforts. We hope most sincerely that
her talents will find a richer reward IN Pbladcl-
phia than was bestowed upon them in NewYorh.
Thou waning moon, thou waning moon,
Why must thy doar light fade so soon
Long thou shin'st an orb again,
My transient Joy, like thee, must wapo;
But not, like thee, will hopes OF n1iae,
With renovated lustre shine
How many hour. ofjoy and pain
How many fond sishs, brcsthed ia vain
How many a hope, decay d too coon,
Thy beams have witness'd, wani. g moon!
And ere thy crescent form appears.
New hopes may perish, drown'd IN tears
Fair moon thy pale light softly beam,
Upon the wood, the hills, AMI streams,
OF that calm home, Nhat seat of truth)
OF those loved in early youth;
That love which grew TIL lifc's bright noon
Fades not, like thee, thou waning moon
The parting hour, the sad farewell
The paug which language cannot tell:
With weeping friendships fruitless boon
" Think of me, by yon midnight moon
Rush 20 my heart, and fill my eye,
A thy pale lustre leaves the sky.
Thou waning moon, thou waning moon.
Why mus! thy dear light fade so soon.

The following poetical elfusion, we find IN the
confession of j. o. Beauchamp, executed Tor the ac-
kaowledsed murder of the seducer of his wife, Col
Solomon p. Sharp, of Frankord, Kentucky. liinr-

THE DEATH SCENE.
A death scene rushes DER my sight
My heated brain recalls IT back,
IN horrid vision of the night,
eft retrace my bloody track!
| see appear the hated form,
Whose coward heart doomed to bleed;
Quick flashes DER my mind the storm,
Which drives me to the BLOODY deed.
Igla-p him with an iron hand.
Appalld he struggles in amaze!
But when unmasked, he sees me stand
lie sees his death torch instant blaze!
Painting he kneel5 for life in vain,
He knew not PHYS sotest glow,
He could the heart Of virtue gain,
And break it with dishonours blow.
pause--but short as lghtnings CLEAN,
The flash ofpity's through my soul;
For quick the ioaming vengeful stream,
Pervades my heart with dire control.
Then hurling round in sportive wrath,
dashed his coward trembling form,
And plung'd the poisoned shaft of death,
Which calmed my hearts black vengeiul storm.
For raising high the deep dyed steel,
With friendly laugh nock'd his sroan,
AMI bid him writing, dying feel,
The retribute OF virtues moan.
When ceased the raging fire to burn.
Which passing time had only anni,
And to my grateful wife returned,
In triumph, in her just command.
Well satisfied we dare our fate,
Content to meet its dlres spite,
And bow us TO the good and great,
The fount of justice life and light.

SODOM AND COMORRAU

DIR. Daubeny, in his late published work
on volcanoes, endoavours to show, from the
description of Moses, and from the present
aspect of the country, thai Sodom and Go
morrah were destroyed by avocanic erup-
ton, which the Deity used in executing his
will against those guilty cities He suppos-
os that Lots wife was overtaken by stream
oflava, which deprived her oilile, encrusted
her where she stood, and rendered her an
admonitory example to future generations.

The reason why some women do not wish

The reason why some women do not wish
to admire St. Paul'S writings, | suppose,
are these: His being, as it is usually thought,
bachelor; his advising people not to
marry in troub'eous times; his commanding
wives to submit to their husbands; his not al
lowing women to speak in public; his un-
willingness that they should broider their
hair, or wear trinkets; his charging the fall
upon Eve; his disregard of old wives fables;
and his saving that young widows became
tattlcrs and busy-bodies.
