FEMALE COURAGE.-A half ideot en-
ployed by grocer residing at Wood
stock or Whitney, was told, on the MORN
ing of the 5th of November, to go to a,
Golfer where the gunpowder was kept,
and bring some down and put it in the
drawer, to supply the consumption ofthe
evening. The fellow forgot the order
till it grew dusk, when he took lighted
candle in his hand, which he inserted in
the loose powder and filling the meas
ure, walked away. He could not speak
inteligibly, although he understood what
was said to him ; he made his meaning
known by signs. Scarcely had be emp
tied the powder into the drawer, when,
recolecting what he had done, the terri
fed creature made the most terrible
noise, displaying every mark of horror
and dismay; and soon made his master
and family clearly understand that he
had left a burning candle fixed in the
powder. The danger was so appalling
that most of the inmates fed !; but SER
want girl entreated her master not to
alarm his sick wife 4; and going to the
chamber as gently as possible, she ap-
preached the burning candle. Closing
the fingers of both hands, she formed a
kind of candlestick, and lifting the can.
die safely out of the powder, returned
with it TO her master, fainting away the
moment she reached the shop.

What has become Of those whose
youthful hands we pressed with youthful
ardor-around whose necks our arm was
fondly thrown--whose mirth, whose pains
we shared, whose wrongs we were ever
ready to avenge-in whom We confded
for the influence of the dark spirit OF
suspicion was then unfelt9 Some OF
them have been gathered to the man
sions of death, in the spring of their days,
while they dreamed Of many NOR
row gay'-some upon whose devoted
heads the storms Of misfortune have pit
ilessIy pelted, have sought far from their
homes a foreign grave--some have
qualled the cup which smiling pleasure
ofered-they are now treading with has
ty footsteps the broad road whose end
is ruin-some have been marked by
melancholy for her own,' and move
through life in hopeless, brokenness of
hearr-some are far away, tossed on the
stormy ocean, or pursuing fortune, in
other climes, exposed to death from the
roaring wave, or inhaling the pestilen-
tial breeze. OF how few can it be said
their path has always been prosper
Gus ? Those may be considered as for
tunate, and should be contented, who
can say, we float along the stream of
time-it is now gentle and calm-now
rough and turbulent-its banks are Of
ten adorned with gay and beau,eous
landScapes-though our prospects are
sometimes bounded by dark and barren
rocks-aS we advance we are still greet
ed with smiling spots of verdure, but
long tracts of cherries sterility too fire.
quently meet our gaze. Happy is he
whose bosom is swayed, and whose ac-
tons are directed by the expectation Of
haven Of unimitable felicity.
The mind, like the body, requires ex-
ercise inaction produces similar effects
in both. The individual who INDUCES
in sloth and indolence-who, hour after
hour, Tolls in listless stupidity upon his
easy chair, or lounges all day upon the
couch of laziness, must inevitably be-
come enervated and ensfaved. The
blood creeps reluctantly through its
wonted channels, and the fountains of
life, powerless and without excitement,
seem to
Cream and mantle as a standing pool
So with the mind: its latent energies
must be aroused-its resources explored
and its faculties brought into active
operation. Without these efforts, the
human intellect lies wholly torpid-a
prey TO ignorance and weakness
like some bed-ridden bypochondriac, a
fit subject to be wrought upon by knaves
and imposters.

The ladies of the Persian haram, when

POETRY Y.

Whoever has read the poetical works Of SIR
Walter Scott, will recognize in the stanzas, which
will be found below that rich vein of poetry which
ever distinguishes the works Of that celebrated
bard a cotemporary, introducing it 10 his col
unns, prefaccs it with the following very opposite
remarks-" II is so true to nature, that rs beau
ties are palpablc to the most ordinary intellect
The compliment TO the bravery of the Scotch
Highandcrs is very fine, and introduced, appa-
rently, so much by accident, that one does not
perceive the least lattcry in it."l
NORA'S VOW.
Hear what Highland Nora said
." The Erc's son l will not wed,
Should all the race of nature die,
And none be left but he and |;
For all the gold, for all the gear,
For all the lands, both far and noar,
That ever va!ou lost or won,
I would not wed the Erc's SON
" A maiden's vows, - old Callum spoke,
Are lightly made, and lightly broke:
The heather the mountains height,
Begins to bloom in purple light;
The frost-wind soon shall sweep away
That ustre deep from glen and brae;
Yet Nora ere its bloom be gono,
May blithcly wed the Erlic's SON
"Thc swan" ..le said, " the lakes clear breast,
May barter for the eagles nest:
The Awe's fierce stream may backward turn;
Ben-C Cruaihan fall and crush Kilchurn;
our killed clans, when blood is high,
Before their foes may turn and fly;
But |. were all these marvcls done,
Would never wed the Erllc's son.
Still in the water-lle's shade,
Her wonted nest the wild swan made;
Ben-Cruaihan stands as fast as ever;
Still downward foams the Awc's hcrce river;
To shun the clash Of foeman's steel,
No Highland brogue has turn'd the heel;
But Nora 5 heart is lost and won,
Shes welded TO the Erlie's son.

sympathy of the world, and therefore re.
tired from its gaze. She did not even
wear the habil ments Of mourning; she
could not put them on as his domestic,
and to have worn them in any other
character, she thought would have been
assuming an equality With thedead OBJ
ject Of her sorrow, from which she
shrank, with the sensitiveness Of native
delicacy, while he was living. She
mourned for him; yet not as they who
sorrow without hope"-she looked
forward with confidence, but in patience,
TO meeting in that blessed region,
where the distinctions Of this world are
heard of no more.
