THE pROyINcE OF WOMEN.


As some fair violet, love'est of the glade,
Sheds It's mild fragrance on the lonely shade,
Withdraws its modest head from pubic sight,
Nor courts The sun, nor seeks the giire OF flight;
Should soHae rude hand prufsneIy dare intrude,
And bear its beauties from its native wood,
Expos'd abroaS, It's isnguid colours hy,
Its firm DECAYS, and all its odours die,
SO Wonai, born TO dignity retreat,
Unkno~n 10 flourish. and unseen be great;
To give domestic life its sweetest chsra,;
With ~softness polish, aud with virtue warm;
Fearful Of fame, unwilling to be known,
Should seek put heavens applauses and ier own
Should dread no blame but that which crimes
impart
The seusurss Of a self.condemning heart,
Heavens m'nistring angel, she should seek the
cell.
Where modest want and silent anguish dwell;
Raise the weak head, sustain the feeble knees,
Cheer the cold heart, md chase the dire disease,
The splendid deeds which only seek a name,
Are paid their Just reward in present fame,
But no-ihe awful all disclosing day,
The long arrear of secret worth shall paw;
Applauding saints shall hear with fond regard,
And he who witnessed here-shall there reward

by any selfish views but that your zeal Tor her
welfare has been 10 promote the general

communicate to you the following Tact, with a
view that you may let your townsInen know 1t,
in time for the meeting If the Stockholders OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company on
the 10th inst; when and where every share
owned by Alexandria should be represented, as,
in my opinion, her vital interest Is involved IN
the acts Of that meeting.
Being pre- seht at a conversation between GER
tain persons, respecting The contemplated ex-
tension Of the Canal through Georgetown to
Rock Creek, the question was ask DIV hat
will Alexandria say to this arrangement; for IL
does appear TO me that she will be effectually
Gu, off" The reply was-"We are not to con-
slider Alexandra in the matler-she must take
care Of herself: the great object is TO reconcile
Washington and Georgelo"n.-it is time
enough when She objects; and then George
town and Washington, united, an take care OF
them,elve." Such was the question and re.
ply in words to the above, in effect, if no: the
very words.
The plan is to extend the Canal from the old
locks, al tbs head of tide navigation, 10 a basin
at the mouth of Rock Creek. The water in the
