Why is to them the bright ETHEREAL ray

and canst thou think
That virtues, which exat the soul, can sink
The outward charms Must Knowledge give Of
fence,
And are the graces all at with sense"
L1nERAL1ry of opinion, and freedom of ex-
preston, are now spreading themselves more
and more widely among mankind the theories
of ages, the accumulated errors of thousand
wears now totter at the touch of reason, and
hoary prejudice hides its wrnkled countenance,
while the scru,inizlng genius of modern times,
squirting its drspotc influence, endeavors to at
tract the attention of an enlightened world
Notwithstanding this general diffusion of libe-
raj sentiment. however, am aware, that dis
QUESTION on the abilities Of woman will expose
the author to ridicule; and although he may
not draw down the thunders of an attorney se-
neral, Bisotry will frown, and Folly-thrice hap
py Folly! will jung her bells, and laugh at the
attempt.
In treating this subject, it will be necessary
to have recourse to particular characters, IN
support of the opinion that the mind knows no
difference Of sex and here shall anticipate an
objection tc this mode Of procedure. viz: that
these particular characters form rather excep-
tions than general rule. g History (says the
ele giant Fitzosborne, in one of his etters,) il
must be owned. will supply some few female in
stances of all the most masculine virtues; but
appearances of that extraordinary nature are
too uncommon TO support he notion Of gene
raj equality in the natural powers of their
minds" These few Instances, however, are
sufficient to demo stratr the possibility that
such " masculine virtues n,oy exist in the female
mind and if such examples be not frequent, it
is not TO the infecundty Of the soil we are to at
tribute the barrenness or immaturi,y, but to the
want of that rpening power, deprived Of whose
kind assistance the most vigorous of mental
plants soon fade away-the power Of education.

Bones Of the Soldiers at Watcrloo. IL
Is well known that The bones of animals make
an excellent manure for enricbinr The SOIL and
accordingly are very much sought for BY gar
deners and agriculturists in the neighborhood
Of large cities, as London and Paris. When
thus used, they are frs, broken, then ground by
means Of a steam engine, and the powder sown
upon the land.
After the battle of Waterloo, the boces were
FIRST searched over for money, trinkets and
clothes. Then came the purveyors Of human
hair, for the supply o: the makers Of false hair
wigs, carls and ftizettes; then came another
class who extracted from the dead bodies, all
the sou nd teeth, for The supply of the dentists;
and lastly, when the flesh had purified, the
collectors of bones for manure searched :he
fields for their harvest. This looks like bar

Its own sweet song OF ecstacy;
An answer came from leaty trees,
And waking birds, and wandering bees,
And waye,ets on the waters brim-
The matiu hymn-the matin hymn!
Iasked the Noon for music then,
II echoed forth the hum Of men,
The sounds of labour on the wind;
The loud voiced eloquence OF mind;
The heart, the sous sublime pulsatons-
The song--the shout--the shock OF nations
fastened from the restless throng,
To soothe me with the Evening song;
The darkening leaves were vocal still,
I heard the music ofthe rill-
The home bound beetle vesper bell
The cicade and phiiomel;
Thou Omnipotent Harmony!
Shades. streams and stars are full OF thee;
On every wing-n every sound
Thine all-pervading power is found.
Some chord TO touch-some tale to tell
Deep-deep within the spirits cell.
