SORROWS.

What arc the sorrows of the young
Their glowing minds soon close above
the wound; their elastic spirits soon rise
beneath the PRESSURE; their green and
ductile affections soon Irvine around new
objects. But the sorrows Of the poor,
who have no outward appliances to soct'le
the sorrows Of the aged, with whom life
at best IS but a wintry day, and VINO car
look for no after growth Of joy; the sor-
rows of a widow, aged, solitary, destitute
mourning over an only son, the last SOL
ace other years; these arc the sorrows,
which make US feel the impotcncy o.

UGLINESS.

Perhaps no lady was'eyer better re-
conciIed to positive ugliness in her own
person than the Duchess Of Orleans, the
mother ofthe Rcgen, G'Orlcans who gov
erncd France during the minority Of
Louis XIV. Thus she speaks other own
appearance and manners: From my
earliest years l was aware how ordinary
my appearance was, and did not like that
people should look at me attentively.
never paid any attention 10 dress, be-
cause diamonds and dress were sure to
attract attention. My husband, on the
other hand, loved TO cover himself with
Jewels, and was well satisfied at my dis
like ofthem, as it saved all disputes for
the possession Of them. On great days
he used to make me rouge, which did
greatly against my will, as | hate every
thing that incommodes me. One day |
made the Countess Of Scissor laugh
heartily. She asked me why l never
turned 10y head whenever | passed u
mirror-every body else did? | answer

bear the sight Of my own ugliness. l
must have been very ugly in my youth.
| had no sort Of features: with little
twinkling eyes, a short snub nose, and
long thick lips, the whole Of my physi-
ognomy was far from attractive. My
lace was large, with fat cheeks, and yet
my figure was short and lumpy; in short
| was a very homeIy sort Of person.
Exccp, for the goodness of my disposit-
ion, no one would have endured me. Ii
was impossible to discover any thing
like intelligence in my eyes, except with
a microscope. Perhaps there was no.
on the face Of the earth such another
pair of ugly hands as mine. Tho King
often told me so, and set me laughing
about it; for as | was quite sure of be-
ing very ugly, made up my mind to be
always the first to laugh at it. This sue
ceeded very well, though must confess
it furnished me with a good stock Of
materials for laughter.

WOMAN.

As the vine which has long twisted its
grateful foliage around the oak, ana
been lifted by it, into sunshine, will,
when the hardy plant is rifted by the
tbunderbolt cling around it with its ca.
ressing tendrils, and bind up its scattered
boughs; SO it is beautifully ordered by
Providence, that woman, who is
the mere dependant and ornament
of man in his happier hours, should
be his stay and solace when smitten
with sudden calamity, winding hcrselfin-
to the rugged recesses of his nature,
Icnderly supporting tho dropping head,
and binding up the broken heart

Such is loves heritage!

mined him TO seek her tina, very day,and
ho only waited her departure from the
castle to follow her home aud renew his
suit. II was not his intention to startlc
her as he had done, but she was so bent
in searching the corner where he had
concealed himself, that there was no
escape. No harm was done: she soon
recovered sufficiently to send tho chill
dren down, and to follow with no other
support than the arm of her lover.
Her fond mother has again been glad
dened by her merry laugh; and her father
is often heard to appeal to Mary's judg-
mep', whether, of all the sports that eve
were invented, there is one that can
compare with Hide and Seek.

FOOD.

Nature delights in the most plain and
simple diet. Every animal but man
keeps to one dish. Herbs are the food
of this species-ish of that, and flesh OF
a third. Man falls upon every thing that
comes in his way; not the smallest fruit,
or cxcrescence of the earth, scarce a
berry or a mushroom, a escape him.
As to his meats, they are so disguised by
cooking, that neither the eye or the taste
can discern the quality, compound, or
name Of many fashionable dishes, sup
piled by professed restorateurs.

FRIENDSHIP.

True friends are the whole world to
each othcr-that is, a friend to himself,
is also a friend to mankind. There is
no relish in the possession of any thing
without a partner.
Cicero used to say, that it was no less
an evil for q man to be without a friend,
than to have the heavens without a sun
and Socrates thought friendship the
sweetest possession, and that no piece
Of ground yielded more, OF pleasanter
fruit than a true friend.
1t was ever my opinion, says Horace,
that a cheerful, good natured friend, is
so great a blessing that it admits of no
comparison.

MISCELLANY.
HIDE AND SEEK.

Among the innumcrable lovers Of the
scenery Of Devonshiro, there are many
who have never seen or heard Of the
Castle OF Berry Pomeroy. Its situation
is So retired, so undiscoveraLlo without
q guide, that il is no wonder il many a
party Of tourists have passed its worry on
trance without being aware that an OBJ
jsct 80 well worthy their attention was
At hand. The situation Of the ruin is as
singular as it Is beautiful. At a short
distance from Torness, a narrow lane
dlverges from the main road, at the ex-
tremity Of which is n gate nnd palisa1e,
80 high, as TO prevent the visitor from
forming any idea Of what is to be seen
beyond. Entrance being afforded by
The gate keeper, the traveller desccnds
a stccp path, which winds between two
wooded hills, till he finds himself at the
burtom OF a deep dell, circular as a basin,
the sides Of which are feathorcd with
cvcry variety of foliage up 20 their very

In the complicated and marvellous
machinery of circumstances, it is abso-
lutely impossible to decide what would
have happened, a. TO some events, if the
slightest disturbance had taken place, IN
the march Of those who proceeded Them
We may observe a little dirty wheel OF
brass, spinning round upon its greasy
axle, and the result is, that IN another
apartment, many yards distant from it, a
beautiful piece Of silk issues from the
loom, riyalllng in its hues the tinls Of the
rainbow; there are myriads of events in
our lives, the distance between which
was much greater than that between this
wheel, and the ribbon, but where the
connexion has been much more close. If
u private country gentleman in Cheshire,
about seventeen hundred and thirty, had
not been overturned in his carriage, it is
extremely probable that America, instead
Of being a free republic at this moment,
would have continued a dependent colo
ny Of England. This country gentle
man happened to be Augustus Washing
ton, Esquire, who was thus accidentally
Mrown into the company Of a lady who
afterwards became his wife, who emigra-
ted with him to America, and in the year
seventeen hundred and thirty two, at
Virginia, became the envied mother OF
George Washington the Great.
