DISAPPOINTMENT. When the shades
Of solitude have encompassed a man
when the voice of passion is silent, and
the song of pleasure has ceased 10 vi
brate on his ear; when reason is re-
stored TO the throne, and every ave.
u is open to reflection; then, If ever
in his days of boyhood he was betray-
ed into some folly of which he has in
vain repented, or led into some error
whose consequences he must forever
deplore, the remembrances Of those
days, will rush upon his mind; those
scenes will be reacted before his eyes;
memory will only add intenseness to
the pang Of guilt. Disappointment is
in itself bitter; but when the remen-
brance of past folIies is added to the
scene of present suffering, it fills up
the cup Of agony. But the medicine,
though bitter is salutary, and should
be drank without a murmur. lfthou
hast lost the hope most dear to thy
heart, seek not to overp Iwer the voice
of conscience by the noise Of the
worlds folly, or to drown the memo
ny of thy disappointment in the tide
of dissipation; but ponder the vanity
Of earthly pursuits, and il may be
that thy disappointmen,s will lead thee
to him, who chasteneth whom he low
eth. For he, who has lost his hopes
Of happiness here, must feel that il is
elsewhere to be sought. There is
something in disappointment that for
chilly leads the mind to reflect on the
delusive nature Of earthly pleasures,
and the necessity of fixing its hopes
of happiness on a firmer basis than
the vanities of this world. While the
first burst Of grief continues, We may
be tempted to murmur against the
hand that has smitten us. But when
time has removed the p~oignancy Of
sorrow; when we can look around
with calmness and resignation, and

the certain proof Of his indifference.
Another year passed away; and EN-
ma lay by her parents in the village
church-yard. That year had also
brought a change to Horace Melville;
he had married, and was deserted by
his wife, whose wealth had been her
only recommendation. Capricious
fortune too had forsaken him, success
sive failures, sudden as ruinous 10 his
aspiring hopes, deprived him of the
distinctions he had coveted; illness at
tackled him, and his heart was made
to feel the want Of sympathy and ten
derness. will Co. he said, to En-
ma! | will sue for her forgiveness! !
will implore her to pity me! | will re-
nounce, forever, fortuue, ambition, all
but love-her gentle nature will SYM
Pathise in my misery, my disappoint-
ments will only endear mt to that
guileless, noble heart. will despise
the crowd, who smile only on the for
tune; and leave forever, the scene Of
my aspiring hopes and ruined pros
pects.' He went to Berkeley, and flew
TO the house of Emma's aunt
She is dead, answered the afflicted re.
~la,ive, to his eager enquiries ask
your own heart why she died-Hor-
ace Melville! you have destroyed my
cbild!-if you are pcniten,, | forgive
you; but you won her art|ess affection
only to destroy her, regardless of her
peace, and for the qualification Of a
culpabIe vanity, you sought to renew
the feelings of preference which your
first visit but too successfully awaken
ed, yet remOrsely left your victim to
all the agonies of disappointed love,
and outraged sensibilily. Emma low
ed you to the last moment, while !,
had it not have been for her tender
circumstances, could have cursed you;
but ] see you are penitent, you are at
last sensible what a treasure you have
cast from you, and | feel that to know
Emma and to lose her, is indeed ter
rible."
Horace listened in speeches. ago.
ny to this burst Of indignant feeling
and deep regret-those reproaches
which he felt were but too we'll meri-
ted, he answered only by signs SO
deep and agonizing, that the heart Of
Mrs. lrby was touched by his distress
We will go, said she to the grave Of
Emma. You are worthy now to Wis
it the grave Of that departed angel, we
will mingle our tears together OH the
turf that covers it; and perhaps her
gentle spirit lowering near, may shed
peace on the hearts that are breaking
for her loss. Horace frequently visi-
ted the hallowed spot, where rested
the remains of loneliness and truth;
completely weaned from vain illusions
and selfish views; he spent his future
lie, which was not a long one, in
p%enitence; and in administering conso-
la,ion to the declining years Of her,
who had been "a parent to his Emma,
he found some consolation for his own
misery. But nothing ever had pow
err to erase from his mind the image
Of Emma the victim of selfishness
and pride. MT

THE UNKNOWN GOD.
[BY 1Rs BARB,ULD.1
To Learned Atheo., led by lame,
As oice the man Of Tassus came,
With pity and surprise,
Mids Idol affairs as ne stood,
Ger sculptured marble, brass and wood,
lie rolled his awful eyea.
But one, apart, his notice caught,
That seemed with higher meaning fraught,
Graved on the wounled stone;
Nor form nor name ives there expressed;
Deep reverence filed the musins breast,
Perusing, Z" To the God unknown"
Age after uge has 70, led away,
Affairs and thrones have felt decay,
Sa; es and SAINTS have risen;
And, like a giant reused from sleep!
Man has * plnred the painless deep,
And l,shtnings snatched from heaven.
AL many a shrine in dust is laid,
Where knceling nations homage paid,
By rock, or souni, or grove;
Ephesisn Dian sees no more
Her workmen fuse the silver ore,
Nor Capitolian Joye.
Fen Sale MS hallowed courts have ceased
With Solemn pomps her tribes TO feast.
No nose the victim 5leeJs;
To censers filed with rare perfumes,
And ve.tments from Egyptian looms,
A purer rite succeeds.
Yet still, where'er presumptuous man
Ills Maker. esseuce strives TO scan,
And lifts his feeble hands,
Though saint and sage their powers unite,
To fathom that abyss OF light,
All. still that altar lands.

A MIRACLE OF HoNEsTY.--At party
the other evening, several gentlemen
contested the honour of having done the
most extraordinary thing. A reverend
d. d. was appointed to be the sole judge
of their respective pretensions. One
produced his toilor's bill, with receipt
attached to it; buz went through the
room that this would not be outdone,
when second proved that he had ar
rested his tailor for money lent him.
The palm is his, was the universal cry ;
when third observed, " Gentlemen, !

my predecessors, but have returned to
the owners two umbrellas that they
had left at my house." "Pll hear no

DUELLING.

As the propensity to duelling has be-
come so very fashionable in this moral
land, we deem it an act of kindness to
seconds and surgeons to put them on
their guard against accident. The fol-
lowing story, which, though apocryphai,
is yet probable, will furnish them vita a
useful hint. Two citizen blades quar-
relied, not hundred years ago, on a
question of precedence. One was the
son of shoemaker, the other the pro-
geny of tailor. The dispute was,
which was tho. most respectable. He
of the shears asserted, that, as the
"human form divine" was covered by
his sire, his sire's calling was the most
noble while he of the last insisted,
that his father covered the feet, without
which the human form must reeds fall
they being the main support, the sup
porter was more worthy than the sup
ported. High words ensucd, and the
man Of needles challenged the man Of
pegs. They met, and, at the first fire,
the son Of st. Cripsin winged-not
his antagonist, but his second. Mat
ters were suspended few days, until
the parties improved themselves by prac-
ticeing. They procured new seconds,
who, by way of being secure, perched
thcmsoI in apple-trees, after measur-
ing the distance, &c. Unavai!ing pre-
caution the word was given, and Girls
pins second came down, like a robin,
from his sheltoring bough. Here was
a dying fall, and dead stand to all fur
ther proceeding. The affair was post
poned to an indefinite period, and both
parties bid fair to die natural death.

MURETUs.-The celebrated scholar
Muretus was taken i'll upon the road, as
he was travelling from Paris to Lyons;
and, as his appearance was not much in
his favor, he was carried to hospital.
Two physicians attended him, and his
disease not being a very common one,
they thought it right to try something
new, and out of the usual road of prac-
tice, upon him. One Of them, not know
ing that their patient knew Latin, said in
that language to the other, We may
surely venture to try an experiment up
on the body Of so mean man as our pa
tient is" "Mean! sir'" replied Mure-
tus, in Latin, to their astonishment; "can
you pretend to call any man so, sir, for
whom the Saviour Of the world did not
think it beneath him to die"

This sweet and pioas little poem, IS from
pen of Bernard Barton the Quaker Poet, as
has been called 1t would be superfluous to s
any thing to recommend it to the attention
the reader:]
THE LORDS PRAYER.
Father of all! who dwell'st above,
Thy name be hallowed here;
As in those realms Of peace and love,
Where saints that name revere.
Thy kingdom come; thy will, alone,
Be done by man below;
AS spirits round thy glorious throne,
Their pure obedience show.
Give us this day our daily bread;
Nor merely outward food,
But that whereon the soul is fed,
The source Of heavenly good. a.
Forgive our trespasses, as we
In pardoning love abide;
Since none forgiveness win from thee,
Who pardon have denied.
And lead us from temptation far;
From evil, Lord, restore;
For thine the power, the kingdom, are,
The glory evermore!

[In a late number Of the United States
Literary Gazette, we end the following extra ct
from an unfinished poem, which.we recommend
10 our readers, as an effdsion, which, whilst il
broathes an air of piety, par,akes largely of the
ggee.er strains Of legitimate poesy:l
THE PARTING.
"with mas.s that in the fresh wind stoop
Pss, flies the vessel DER the sea;
Bat on the shore a little group
Are gazing on her earnestly-
Grave elders, bent with toll and age,
And maidens coy, and matrons sage,
And children, whose gay restless eyes
Are bright with innocent surprise,
To see that wonder walk the main,
And from whose lisping lips alone.

Utter poverty often kills the affections;
but deep, constant, and common feel
ing of this worlds hardships, and equal
participation in oil those struggles by
which they may be sofened, unite hus-
band and wife, parents and children,
brothers and sisters, in thoughtful and
subdued tenderness, making them hap
py indeed while the circle round the
fire is unbroken, and yet preparing them
every day to bear the separation, when
some one or other is taken slowly or
suddenly away. Their souls are not
moved by fits and starts, although, in
deed, nature sometimes wrestles With
necessity; and there is a wise moder-
alton both in the Joy and in the grief Of
the intelligent poor, which keeps lasting
trouble away from their earthly lot, and
prepares them silently and unconscious
ly for heaven.

nan heart; had she been guided by that

man heart; had she been guided by thar

Before whose dear, discerning eye,
The visionary shadows fly,
OF folly's painted show; 49,.
Who sees through every fair disguise,
That all, but virtue solid joys,
Is vanity and woe;"
had she been taught that we must live

TO prevent girls from reading every
novel extant, is now nearly impossible.
But it should he the business of those
who instruct to fortify their minds against
the attacks they invariably make upon
virtue by pointing out their defects, and
by impressing this truth upon the mind,
that they are the offspring of imagina-
ton, and afford no pictures of real life,
no rules that can guide them through
rough and hard-judging world.
