The Standard Spelling Book,
OR THE SCHOLARS GUIDE


To an accurate Pronunciation of the English
Language accompanied with easy, familiar
and progressive Reading Lessons. Designed
as an introduction to the use of Walkers Crit
cal Pronouncing Dictionary of the English
Language. Compiled for the use of Schools
BY JAMES Fl. SEARS.
As Walker is now almost universally consid-
cred the Standard of correct pronunciation. ii
is important that a work so much used as the
Spelling Book, should conform to it. This
work was undertaken and completed with par
tIcular reference to this object, and in this re-
spect will be found to be greatly improved
But this is not the only Improvement it can
boast Another, and perhaps equally impor-
tant is to be found in the simplicity and ex-
oeIlent adaptation of the reading lessons to the
minds of children.

Genuine Love.-A worthy member of
the bachelors club of this city, in giving
a description in the Ladies' .Atb,us, OF
the splendid ball, which recently took
place at the Norfolk House in Roxbury,
thus Jeelingly speaks of a young damsel,
whose charms made a seuere impression
upon his heart. His case is truly dis
tressing. A mustard poultice applied to
the soles of his feet would probably re-
lieve him.
81 still see her winning smile, and
feel the consuming power of her dark
blue eye. l feel that could l call her
mine, heaven and earth might be dissolv-
ed into their elements, the vast globe be
convulsed and shattered by earthquake
and thunder, and desolation and ruin
stalk through the world, by me unheeded
and uncared for; that to promote her hap
piness | could lie down on bed of slow
ly consuming fire, and unmindful of pain,
bless the agonies which contribute to her
pleasure"
How romantic! But the writer is too
dilfident to thrive in New England-be-
sides he smells of birthstone, and leaves
much too much, as Mrs. Ramsay says to
DR. Truckle, to our sympathetic imag-
inatlon. "-BoStOn Gazette.

OF war, and shook the nations. France unroll d
Her lilied flag, and England in the breeze
Waved her dead lion banner. Then the cot,
The palace, sent its children forth, to fall
by thousands, at Ambitions startling voice,
And man his brother man infuriate met
In the h-grapple-shedding Of his blood
Unmark' d in battle fields, that but to few
Give e'en the dear-bought recompcnse to live
In stories Of their future!
From the arms
OF sweet aflccton-from the dear caress-
The agonizing and endearing clasp
OF homes beloved circle-forth they came
The inseparable brethren, soon to prove
Far other scenes than in the rural shade
Had bless'd their rare existence. Soon amid
The shock Of combat, side by side they stood,
That matchless pair-thc beautiful, the brave
Winning all hearts: and, as the two of old
"Loyely and pleasant in their lives''-they
were
"In death not separated" for they met
$50 II should beg one common fate, and sank
Together to soldiers grave.

The Bar will be constantly supplied with the

WHAT IS REALTY 1-How various

WHAT is BEAUTY ?-How various,
and even opposite, are the mott ons
which the natives of different countries
entertain of personal beauty? Yet
there can be no doubt that the express
ion of the soft emotions of benevolence,
pity, and love, as shown in the female
face, is pleasing to all the world. The
different opinions of beauty entertain
ed in various countries, relate to COL
our and TO form and these opinions
arise from national customs, or certain
prejudices widely extended, which al
ter the natural taste. In China, the
chief beauty of woman is thought to
consist in the smallness of their feet;
as soon as girls are born, the nurses
conline their feet with the tighlest lig-
atures, to prevent their growth. The
women of Arabia colour their eye
brows with black pow der, and draw
black line under their eyes, to make
them appear more prominent and ex-
pressive. In the time of the old court,
the faces Of the Partisan ladies were
spotted with patches; and plastered
with rouge. Lord Chesterfield, when
at Paris, was asked by Voltaire if he
did not think some French ladies, then
in company, whose cheeks were fash
ionably tinted, very beautiful. "Ex-
cuse me-" said Lord Chesterfield,
"irom giving an opinion-for am no
judge of paintings" A well-looking
EngIishman, as he was travelling
among the Alps, attracted much no
tice; but the natives thought his per-
son deficient in one important point,
which they dattered themselves was Il
local beauty. "How completely hand
Some," they said, "this Englishman
would be, ifhe had, like us, swelling
under his throat!'

THE CHILDS DESTINY.

And none did love hm-not his lemsns dear
Bur pomp and power alone are womans care;
And where these are, light Eros finds feere.
BYRON
No mistress of the hidden skill,
No wizard gaunt or grim,
Went up by night to heath or hill,
To read the stars for him;
Tho merriest girl in all the land,
OF vine encmcled France,
Bestowed upon his brow and hand
Her philosophic glance;
"I bind thee with SPELL" said she,
"r sign thee with sign;
No woman's love shall light on thee,
No woman's heart be thine!
And trust me, tits not that thy cheek
Il. colorless and cold;
Nor that thine eye is slow TO speak
What only eyes have told;
For many cheek Of paler white
Hath blush'd with passions kiss:
And many an eye Of lesser light
Hath caught its fire from bliss;
Yet, while the rivers seek the sea,
And while the young stars shine,
No woman's heart be thine!

one, whose high sense ofhonour, noble
principles, and refined feelings, would
insure her happiness. The unfortu-

disappointment only render her more

Shrinks from the iorcc or from tho fraud
Which Beauty loves so well;
For thou hast learn'd to watch ard wake,
And swear by earth aid sky;
And thou art very bold 10 take
What we must still deny;
cannot tell; the charm was wrought
BY other threads than mine,
The lips are lightly begged or bought,
The heart may not be thine!
"Yct thine the brightest smiles shall be,
That ever Beauty wore,
And confidence from two or three,
And compliments from more;
And one shall giye,-perchancc hath giv'n-
What only is not love;
Friendship, oh! such as saints in heav'n
Rain on us from above.
II she shall meet thee in the bower,
Or name thee in the shrine,
Oh! wear the ring, and guard the fowl
Her heart may not be thine!
"Go set thy boat before the blast,
Thy breast before the gum
Tho haven shall be reached at last,
The battle shall be won:
Or muse upon thy country's laws,
Or strike thy country's lutte;
And patriot bands shall shout applause,
And lovely lips be mute;
Go. dig the diamond from the wave,
The treasure from the mine:
Enjoy the wreath, the gold, the grave,--
No woman's heart is thine!
"I charm thee from the agony
Which others feel or fcign;
From anger, and from jealousy,
From doubt and from disdNn;
bid thee wear the scorn Of years
Upon the cheek Of youth,
And curl the lip at passions tears,
And shake the head at truth;
While Eiere is bliss in revelry,
Forgctfulness in wine,
BE thou from woman's love as tree,
AS woman is from thinep'

with the emanatioDs Of his muse:
THE GHOST.
It's about twenty years since ABEL Law,
A short, round favourcd, merry
Old soldier Of the Revolutionary
War,
Was wcdd d to
A most abominable shrew-
The temper Of Shakspearc's Catharine
Could no more be compared with heJ's,
Than mine
With Lucfer's;
Her eye was like weazlc's;
She had harsh
Face, like q cranberry marsh,
All spread
With spots Of white and red,
AS if she had the measles:
With hair Of the colour Of a wisp Of straw,
And disposition like cross cut saw.
The appellation Of this lovely dame,
Was Ann, or Nancy-'don't forget the name.
Her brother, David, was tall
Good looking chap, and Tint was all:
One Of your Great-B g-.Nothings, az we say
Here in Rhode-Island, picking up old jokes,
And cracking them on other folks.
Well, David undertook one night 10 play
Tho Ghost, and frighten Abel, whom he knew
Would be returning from journey through
A grove of forest wood,
Inat $1,000
Below
Tho house some distance-hali mile or SO.
With long taper
Just made to cover
A wig, nearly as large over
As n corn basket and sheet
With both ends made TO meet
Across his breast,
(The way in which ghosts are always dress'd)
He took
His station ncNr
a huge oak tree,
Whence he could overlook the road, and sec
Whatever might appear
II happened, that, about an hour before friend
Abel
Had left the table
Of an nm, where he had made a halt
With his horse and wagon,
To taste flason
OF malt
Liquor, ,'and-so-forth; which being done,
lie went on,
Caring no more for twenty ghosts,
Than if they were so many posts;
David was nearly tired Of waiting
His patience was abating:
At length he heard the careless tones
OF his kinsman's voice;
And then, the noise
OF the wagon wheels among the stones.
Abel was quite elated, and was roaring
With all his might, and pouring
Out in grent confusion,
Scraps Of old songs, made in " the revolution. y
Ills head was full of Bunker Hill and Trenton
And still he went on,
Soaring the Whp-poor-wls among the trees,
With rhymes like these
"S See the Yankees
Leave the hill
With baggernets declining,
With lopp'd down hats
And rusty guns,
And leather aprons shining"
"Sec tho Yankecs-whoa why what is that"
Said Abel, staring like cat,
As slowly on the fearful figure strobe
Into the middle Of the road.
My conscience! what suit Of clothes!
Some crazy fellow, ! suppose
Halo, friend, what's name; by the powers OF
gin,
That's strange dress to travel in.''
"Bc mt, Abel, for now have come
To read your doom:
Then, , earken, while your fate now declare
I am u spirit'-"I suppose you arc;
But you'll not hurt me, and I'll tell you why,
Here is a fact which you cannot deny;
All spirits must be either good or bad
That's understood;
And, be you good or evil, am sure,
If good spirit, I am safe; If eri,,
And don't know but you may be Devil
II that's the case, you'll recollect, fancy,
That II am married to your sister NANCY"
