|ses this Coibis. Mem 10 the chastity oil
woman, nothing is hung upon SO slight
a thread as the towering reputation ol
the living, and no one is mere subject
to the fears, hopes and admonitory cau-
tious incident to human nature, than
him whose brow is garlanded with lau-
rel. We all remember the eastern apo
loguc Of the peasant who wishoA to as
sumo the honOurs and be subject 10 the
feelings Of king. When invested with
the supreme authority, and incident to
The same causes of dissatisfaction and
infelicity, his only aspiration was to re-
vert back into his humble obscurity, and
he again the untutored tender of sheep
fold. 1t would be thus in every situa-
lion OF life, generally speaking. The
harrassing duties Of the politician, when
exchanged for those of the habitual day
labourer, would be an intolerable burden
to the latter, and one that would in many
cases drive him to desperation and even
to death. Possession Immediately de-
creases the value and detracts from the
pieasurable worth of any object, howev-
er long and eagerly It may have been
sought; just as the rattle ceases to paci-
fy child, when Injured to the novelty Of
Its sound. Yet envy is bitter feeling
and one that chils the finer sympathies
OF many young heart, and kills its no
BILE impulses in their very infancy. He
that envies the geaius ofhis friend seldom
will remain true friend long-de-
traction will steal in among his convcr-
will be detected in his
own snare and flung away with the
spirit of scornful and plying disdain.
But he that permits his admiration Of his
intellect to crush the hydra
Of envy in its first attempt to poison and
defame, will be cherished as faithful
counsellor, and one to whom the soul's
secrets may be confidently unfolded.-|
Envy soon blasts friendship and quench-
es love, even as the sun drinks W the
dew it would seem to gild. For a man
% envy another his personal attractions,
IS to acknowledge himself inferior ia
mental qualifications, for the man of un-
1erstanding, never considers personal
beauty Of sufficient importance to excite
4 feeling of rivalry. With woman, en-
w Of this description is more frequent,
and it would be miserable compliment
% women if we should say, at this en-
ightened day, that they would deem per-
'onal charms preferable to mental-Ibid.

WOMEN.

fit were no easy matter TO describe
the women Of a small neighbourhood-
or Of single parish, set apart in one Of
the Isles Of the sea, from all the rest of
the earth. How much more difficult to
describe those of large country, by a
few general remarks. 1t is not so with
tho men. They may be hi: off in the
lump. They are the herbagc, not the
blossom Of country. They are all of
hue thoy are not like the flowers
that blow under the pressure OF the foot,
and fade away before you have time to
trace the perfume oftheir dying breath
to the trodden and crushed root you
have SCARED with your heel as you hur-
ried by. They are not like women-as
changeable as light, and as fuctua,ing
as the shadow Of summer-sea. They
are moro like the substantialities that
you see about you, heavy, and rocky,
and steadfast.
Men are the realities, women the po.
etry Of this world. Men arc the trees
women the fruitage and flower. The
former delight in rude soil--they strike
their roots downward with a perpetual
effort, and heave their proud branches
upward, in perpetual strife. Are they
to be removed?-you must tear up the
very earth with their roots, rock, and
ore, and impurity, or they perish. They
cannot be translated with safety. Some
thing Of their homes little Of their ma
tive soil must cling TO them for ever, or
they die. Not so with women-give
her but air and sky enough, and she will
seek no nourishment Of the earth strike
no roots downward-urge no sceptre
upward-but content herself with she'd
ding light and cheerfuIness on every
side Of her-fowers and perfume on
every thing she touches. Would you
remove her-you have but to unclasp a
few green delicate fbres, to scatter a
few blossoms, and to shake off few
large drops-like the rain-drops Of q
summer shower-and 10! she is ready to
depart with you withersoever you may
steer. She does not cling to the soil,
she does not yearn for native earth
all that she needs any where is some
thing to grow to. Her vitality is un-
'touched-her sympathies unhurt, by the
influences Of a new sky or strange air.
1t may be, that in her youth, her BIOS
soming was about the doorway of cot
tage-it may be that she is now trans
planted to a palace; made to breathe
the hot and crowded air, to bask in the
artificial sunshine of city-in shadow,
and smoke, and most exaggerating
atmosphere. But even there she is
happy-she carries her home with her;
and though what she clings to may sick
en- at the heart and perish at the roots,
for lack of its native air, she will put
forth her beauty, and scatter her per.
fumc as before.-I6id.

but every bed was engaged. l dined
with Lord Farnham, took my wine mer-
rily, and adjourned to the inn, determin-
ed 10 set up all that night at the kitchen
fire. / found every one of my brethren
in bed, the maid-servant full of good
liquor, and the man and woman quite as

clared she could not think Of permitting
my honor 20 sit up; and if | would ac-
cept Of their little snug cupboard bed,
by the fire-side, should be warm and
comfortable. This arrangement l
thought most agreeable one; tho bed
was let down from the niche, into which
it had been folded up, and in few min
utes | was in comfortable slumber.
My first sensation in the morning was,
however, one which it is not in my pow
er to describe now, because | could not
do SO five minutes after it was over; sul-
flee it to say, l found myself in a state
of suffocation, with my head down, and
my feet upwards! l had neither time
nor power for reflection; the agonies of
death, suppose were coming on me,
and some convulsve effort gave me a
supernatural strength, that probably
saved mo from most inglorious and
whimsical departure. On a sudden, l
felt my position change; and, with
crash, sounding to me like thunder, down
came the bed, and came upon the floor.

and cried out murder!'
with as much vehemence as was able.
The man, woman and maid, by this time
all sober, came running into the room
together. The woman joined me in cry
ing ont murder; the maid alone knew
the cause of my disaster, and ran as fast
as she could for the apo,hecary, to bleed
me. had, however, recovered, after
largo draughts of cold water, and obtain
ed sense enough TO guess at my situa-
ton.
The maid having been drunk when l
went to bed, on awake ming just at break
Of day, began 10 set all matters to rights,
and perceiving her master and mistress
already up, had totally forgotten the
counsellor! and having stronger arms of
her own than any barrister of the home
circuit, in order to clear the kitchen,
had hoisted up the bed in its proper
niche, and turned tho button at tho ton |
that kept it in its place; in consequence |
of which, down went my head and up |
went ny heels! and as air is an article !
lndlspensably necessary to existence,
death would very soon have ended tho |
argument, had not my violent struggles
caused the button to give way, and so
brought me once more out ofthe position
OF the Antipodes. The poor woman was
as much alarmed as was!
- felt no Inconvenience afterwards.
But what has happened once may chance
10 occ,:r again; and only wonder that
he same accident does not frequently

IRISH INNS.

An Irish Inn has been an eternal sub
ject of ridicule to every writer upon the
habits and appearances Of my native
country. 1t is true that, in the early pc
riod OF my life, most of the inns 10 Ire
land were nearly of the same quality; a
composition Of siovenliness, bad meat,
worse cooking, and few vegetables---save
the royal Irish potato-but plenty Of fine
eggs, smoked bacon, often excellent
chickens, and occasionally, the hen as
soon as she had done Matching them-if
you could chew her. They generally
had capital ciaret, and plenty Of civility
ia all its ramifications.
The poor people did their best to en-
terrain their guests, but did not UNDER
stand their trade, and even had it been
otherwise, they had neither furniture,
nor money nor credit, nor cattle, nor
customers, enough to keep things going
we'll together.-There were then no
post-horses nor carriages-consequent-
ly, very little travelling in Ireland; and
if there had been, the ruts and holes
would have rendered thirty miles day
good journey. Yet verify believe, on
the whole, that the people in general
were happier, at least they appeared
vastly more coI,tenteG, than at present.
| certainly never met with SO bad thing
in Ireland, as the cred Cow" in John
Bull: for, whatever might have been the
quality, there was plenty Of something
or other always to be had at the inns to
assuage hunger and thirst.
The best description ever rccollect
to have heard Of an Irish inn, its Incl
dents and appurtenances, was in a sort
OF medley sung and spoken by the pres
ent Sir Charles Vernon, when he had
some place in the Lord Lleutenant's
establishment at Dublin Castle; it was
delivered by him to amuse the company
after supper, and was an excellent piece
Of mimicry. He took off ducks, geese,
pigs, chickens,--the cook and the land
lady,-the guests, &c. to the greatest
possible perfection.
One anecdotc respecting an Irish inn,
may, with notifications, give some idea
OF others at that period. A Mrs. Nell
Harding kept the natest inn at Balyman,
close to my fathers house. l recollect
to have heard a passenger (they are
very scarce there) telling her, that his
sheets had not been aired" With great
civility Mol Harding begged his honor's
pardon, and said" they certainly were,
and must have been peH aired, for there
was not gentleman came to the house
the last fortnight that had not slept in
them"
Another incident which occurred in
an Irish inn, is, for good reasons, much
more firmly impressed on my recollec.
lion, and may give hint worth having
to some curious travellers in their pere-
grinations to Kerry, Killarney, &c.
The late Earl Farnham had a most
beautiful demesne at village called
Newton Barry, county Wexford. 1t is
a choice spot, and his lordship resided
IN a very small house in the village.
He was always SO obliging as to make
mo dine with him on my circuit journey;
and l slept at the little inn-in those
days very poor one indeed.
The day Of my arrival was, on one
occasion, wet, and very large assem-
bI,ge Of bsrristers were necessitated to
