'IoNARY VERSES TO YOUTH OF BOTH sen
My little dears who learn to read,
Pray early learn to shnn,
That very silly tang indeed,
Which people call pun.
Read En- ks rules, and twill! be found
How simple an offence,
Il is to make the self.sainc sound
Afford double sense
Tor ins,arce, ale may make you all,
Your aint an an ma, kin,
fnu II yale may bny r'eit,
And sN nav pay the 5iR
Or IT France In,r bark you steer,
At nnv,r it may be,
A beer Gpte0gS uprn he fier,
Hho, bind still goes 70 sea.
Thus one nigh say, When 10 treat
Good friends acce II our greeting,
'Tis 1aeet that men who NEE: TO eat,
Should eat itelr niea. when meeting.
Blawn on tie Jonrds no bore indeed,
Although f,orn bear nenared;
Nor can the fri on which we feed,
fota feeding be declared.
Thus one ripe fruit may he pear,
And yet be pcyea agar,
And still be one which seemeth rare,
Until we d, explain.
1t therefore should be all your aim
To sreak with simple care;
For who, however f nd of game,
Would choose to swallow hatrs
A fat mans gait NAV make us smile,
Who has no gate to close!
The farmer sii'ng on his style.
No stylish person knows.
Perfumers men of scents must be,
Some Sicily men are bright;
A brown man oft deep read we see,
A black wicked wight.
Most wealthy men good manners have,
However vulgar they;
And actors still the harder slave,
The oftener they play.
So poets can the ba,ze obtain,
Unless their tailors choose;
While grooms and coachmen not in vein
Each evening seek the News.
The dyer, who by dying lives,
A dire life maintains;
The glazier, it is known, receives
His profits from his panes
BY gardeners thyme is tied, tits true,
When spring IS in its prime;
But time or tied wont wait for you
Ifyou are tied to time
Then now you see, my little dears,
The way to make pun;
A trick which you, through coming years,
Should sedulousy shun
The fault admits Of no defence;
For whcnso'er tits found,
You sacrifice the soundtor sease.
The sense is never soand.
So let your word and actions too.
One single meaning prove
And, Just in all you say or do.
You'll gain esteem and love.
In mrth and play no harm you'll know,
When dnty's task is done;

not BIZ too much to SAY, that more OF human lille is
wasted in Turkey, and less brought into existence,
than in any other country in the known word. IL
IS thus that the gifts of bountifu nature are thrown
away upon this people. 1t is in vain that God mas
issued his great law, Be fruitful and multiply. and
replenish the earth, and has conferred on them eV.
|ery means Of fulfilling it,-comey persons, robust
constitutions, mild climate. fertile soil, and sur.
passingly beautiful country, when their own perverse
propensties, and antsocial habits, counteract the
blessings of Heaven. We see every day light go
ling out, almost to extinction, in the farest portion
lof Europe; and the human race melting away IN the
very eye of the behoder. And this spectacle seen
in soil and climate capable of supporting the mose
abundant population.
The important question therefore is, what will be-
the result of few months, unless the Russians shall
be stopped by the submission Of the Turks? We can-
not Join in the speculation OF some OF the French pa
pers that ConstantinOpe itself will be able to afioro
any resistance. 1t is by means an impresnaole SIT
uaton 1t is by nature strong, but art mas contri-
buted no Notifications. The neighborhood OF Con.
stantinople is like that of Madrid,-a lonely and
unnhabted desert its ortresses are few, and those
who have the charge of them are incapable OF de-
Tending them with the most ordinary military SCI
ence. Upon the whole, we have not the doubt OF q
moment but that the Russians are at this time dye
ing the Danube with blood, and that they Will meet
with no elfectua opposition to their progress up 10
the very gates of the metropolis. We have before
said, that it is in vain to struggle to preserve coun"
\ try which seems to have reached the natural term
of its destiny, and to have abandoned itself. No
foresight in our Ministry can prevent tue gradual
progress of events. We cannot proons the limits
Of the Turkish Empire when the natural period has

deed, what Power on the Continent is interested in
