MISCELLANY.
EAY CARRYING.
BY MISS MILFORD.

At one end Of the cluster of cottages,
or cottage-iike houses, which formed
the little street of Hilton Cross-a pret-
ty but secluded village in the north Of
Hampshire stood tue shop Of judith
Kent, widow, "Licensed," as the legal
imported, to vend tea, coffee, iobac-
co and snuff" These articles, form
ed, however, but a small part Of the
multifarious merchandise Of Mrs. Kent,
whose shop, the only repository Of the
hamlet, might have seemed all epitome
of the wants and iuxuries Of humble life.
In her window, candles, bacon, sugar,
mustard and soap, nourished amidst cal
icoes, oranges, dolls, ribbons and gngc.-
bread. Crockery ware was piled On
one side of her doorway, Dutch cheese
and Irish butter encountered the other;
brooms and brushes A,stcd against the
wall; and ropes Of onions and punches
OF red herring hung from the ceiling
She sold bread, butchers meat and gar
den stuff, on commission; and engrossed
ut word, the whole trade Of Hilton
Cross.
Notwithstanding this monopoly, the
world went i'll with poor Judith. She
was mild pleasant looking, niddle-aged
woman, with heart too soft for her call
ing. She could not say No to the poor
creatures who came to her on a Satur-
day night, to seek bread for their chill
dren, however deep they might already
be in her debt, or however certain il
was that their husbands were, at that
moment, spending at the Checker, or
the -Four Horse Shoes, the money that
should have supported their wives and
families, for, in this vilage,as in others,
there were two fourlshlng alc-houses,
although but one i'll. accustomed shop
I" but one half penny-worth Of bread to
this intolerable deal Of sack!" She could
not say no! as prudent woman might
have said; and accordingly, half the
poor people in the parish might be found
on her books; whilst herself was gradu-
ally getting in arrears with her baker, her
grocer, and her landlord.
Her family consisted of two children
Mary, q pretty, fair-haircd, smiling lass
of twelve or thirteen-and Robert, a fine
youth, nearly ten years older, who work
ed in the gardens Of a neighbouring
gentleman. Robert, conscious that his

CORNELIA.

There has recently been issued from the
London Press very interesting publication,
entitled " Evenings in Greece" From copy
obligingly furnished us by friend, we extract
the following lines, which will, We think, be
very acceptable to our literary readers. We
think they possess many, and peculiar beauties.
"I saw, from yonder silent cave,
Two fountains running side by side,
Tho one was Mem'ry's limpid wave,
Tho other cold oblivion's tide.
sOh Lover said I, in thoughtless dream,

And brought the past all back again;

From the signature attached TO the poem
below, which we copy from the United States
Literary Gazette for March, We are inclined
to think it was written by the accomplished
Bryant, poet who ranks irst among the sous
Of modern song. II is worthy Of his pen, and
is peculiarly applicable TO the season.
STRING IN TOWN.
The country ever has tagging Spring,
Waiting for May to call It's vioets forth,
Aud June its roses. Showers and sunshine
bring
Slowly the deepening verdure DER the earth,
To put their foliage out the woods are slack,
And one by one the singing birds come back.
Within the city's bounds the time OF flowers
Come earlier Let a mild and sunny day,
Such as full often, for a few bright hours,
Breathes through the sky Of March the airs
of May,
Shine on our roofs, and chase the wintry gloom
And, 10, our borders glow with sudden bloom.
For the wide side walks of Broadway are then,
Gorgeous as are the rivuiei' banks IN June,
That, Ovcrhung with blossoms. through ITS glen,
Slides soft away beneath the sunny noon;
And they that search the untrodden wood Tor
flowers
Meet in its depths no oveler ones than ours.
For here are eye. tina. shame the violet.
Or the dark drop that on the pansy hes;
And foreheads white as when in clusters set,
The anemones by forest fountains rise;
And the spring beauty boasts no ienderer streak
Than the soft red OH many a youthful cheek.
And thick about those lovely temples lie
Locks that the lucky Vgnardonne has
cnIled--
Thrice happy man! whose trade il - 10 buy
And bake and braid those love-nets OF the
world!
Who curIs Of every glossy color keepest,
And sellest, it is said, the biackest cheapest!
And well thou mayst; for Iialy's brown maids
Send the dark locks with which their brows
are drest;
And Tuscan lasses from their letty braids
Crop hale, 10 buy a ribbon for the rest;
But the fresh Norman girls their rnglets spare,
And the Dutch damsel keeps her aaNen hair.
Then henceforih let no maid or matron gricve
To see her locks Of an unlovely hue,
Frowzv or thin; for Vgnardonne shall give
Such piles of curls as nature never knew:
Eve, with her veil. Of tresses, at the sight
Had bushed outdone, and owned herself
fright.
Sof' voices and light laughter wake the street
Like notes of wood-birds, and where 'er the
eve
Threads the long way, pIumes wave, and twink
ling feet
Fall light, AZ hastes that crowd OF beauty by;
The ostrich, marrying DER the desert space,
Scarce bore those tossing plumcs with iieeter
pace.
No swimming Juno gait, of languor born,
Is theirs, but light step of irccst grace,
Light as Camnla's DER the unbent corn.--
A step that speaks the spirit Of the place,
Since Quiet, meek old dame, was driven away
To Singsng and the shores dTappan bay.
Ye that dash by in chariots, who will care
For steeds and footmen nowi Ye cannot
show
Fair face and dazzling dress and graceful air,
And last edition Of the shape! All no,
These sights are for the earth and open sky,
And your loud wheels unhceded rattle by.

his disquiet.
Affairs were in this posture when a
new parsonage arrived at Hilton Cross.
In addition to her other ways and
means Mrs. Kent tried to lessen her rent,
by letting lodgings; and the neat, quiet,
elderly gentlewOman, the widow of
long deceased rector, who had occupi-
ed her rooms ever since Robert was born,
being at last gathered to her fathers, an
advertisement Of pleasant apartments
to let in the airy village Of Hilton
Cross" appeared in the county paper.
This announcement was true as if it had
not formed an advertisement in county
paper. Very airy was the pretty village
Of Hilton Cross, with its breezy upland,
and open common, dotted, as it we're,
with cottages and clumps of trees; and
very pleasant were Mrs. Kent's apart
ments, for those who had sufficient time
to appreciate their rustic simplicity, and
sufficient humility to overlook their small
ness. The little chamber, gllttering
with Witness; its snowy dimity bed, and
a." fresh sheets smelling Of lavender"
the sitting-room carpeted with India
mating, its shining cane chairs, and
its easement wreathed, on the one side,
by luxuriant jessamine, on the other,
by the tall cluster musk rose, Chat rose
Of which Titania talks) sending i's
branches Of odorous blossoms into the
very window; the little flower court un-
derneath full Of holly oaks, cloves, and
dablias; and the large sloping meadow

CONGRESS.-Both Houses of Congress ad-
journeI on Saturday evening last. They have
been in session for the las. three months, and have
done as little business as it was possible 10 do and
keep up the appearance of doing any at ali. The
Bankrupt Bill, the claims Of the few survivors Of
the Revolution, and the Wooilen Bill, have all
gone to rect for tho present The first named pro-
badly for years, the majority was so large against
IT, that would be folly for the friends Of the meas
ure to attempt to C Ill it up again.
The relief which the friends of the few remaining
come late at best. and if Congress to i've
10 them what justly their due, 1t is to be hoped it
will be done at the next session.
The Woolien Bill will undoubtedly be called up
aga at the next session. with redoubled vigour by
its i,iends, and we doubt not the relief which they
ask for will be extended to them. Their claims
upon the protection Of tine government are. well
founded, that they cannot, for any length OF time
be resisted, even by those who are disposed never
again t. vote for measure, which will be OF bene-
fit to the country at large to any class of the
munlty.
IHe ieopie win NC Teduy w nsk what nus Sou-
gress been doiug' The question be easily
swered-.Nothing. Long speeches in opposition to
the Administration of Mr.. Adams, has occupied
nearly the whose session. Perhaps there was
formed in any country since the creation Of the
warld, a more unprncipal opposition to the meas
ure. OF a government. than the one which now ex-
lists in the Congress Of the United States, to the ad
muistration of Mr.. Adams. The members who
compose this faction .ame into Congress the last
session, with fixed determination that nothing
should be done which hs recommended, and that
they have succeeded TO their entire satisfaction,
ona will doubt, who has paid the least attention to
their course of conduct
The members from the New England States, with
Two ur three exceptions, have done their duty 10
their constituents, and rendered all the support in
their power to the constituted authorities OF the
country. Mr.. Bsylies from Bristol District, Mass.
has voted against the administration every occa-
sion as has Mr.. Woodbury., Of the Senate, from
New Hampshire.
Among the last acts of the Senate, was the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Duff Green, as printer to that
body. which alone is sufficient TO show that the
claims of talent and industry to be disregarded
by the opposition members, when they wish to sup
port at the expense OF 60, ernmen, ol their own
tools.
