ADJUSTMENTS. The prevalent opinion,
that, in withdrawing young people from gay
amusements, we deprive them of that to
which their age entities them, finds too many
advocates. There is great justice in the
remark ola late practical writer, that ''young
people stand in much less need, than is gen
orally supposed, of any amusement, proper
ly so called. Their cares are light, their
sorrows few, and their occupations rarely
very fatigueng to the mind" Allowing,
however, that amusements are essential to
the happiness of our children, we are bound
to select for them such and only such, as are
innocent; and those cannot he so, which
drown reflection, corrupt the morals, or inn
pair the health.

EFFECTS OF RIDING IN CONSUMPTION.
I" The cure am going to mention, was of a
gentleman who is related to the doctor, and
is now living at Dorsetshire, who was
brought so low by Consumption that there
seemed to be no possibility of recovery
either by medicine or exercise +; but, it be-
ing too late for the first to do any good, all
that was to be done was to be expected
from the latter, though the doctor did not
think that even riding would then do. How
ever, the poor gentleman, seeing there was
no other hopes left, was resolved to attempt
to ride in the country but was so extreme
ly far gone, that, at his setting out of town
he was forced to be held up on his horse by
two porters; and when he got to Brentiord
or Hounslow the people of the Inn into
which he put were unwilling to receive him
as thinking he would die there, and they
should have the trouble of funeral. Not
withstanding, he persisted in his riding by
small journeys to Exeter; and got so much
strength by the way, that though one day
his horse as he was drinking, laid down
with him in the water, and he was forced tc
ride part of the days journey in that wei
condition, yet he sustained no harm by it
but came to the above mentioned place con.
siderably recovered; when, thinking he hac
then gained his point he neglected to ride
any more for some time. Bat afterwards find.
inghimselfrelapsing, he remembered the eau
ton which DIR. Sydenham had given him
at his setting out, that if he should be sc
happy as to begin to recover, he would mo-
leave off riding too soon; for he would in
fallibly relapse and die, if he did not carr,
on that measure long enough so he betoOi
himself to his horse again, and rode till he
obtained a perfect recovery"

MARCH OF INTELLECT A gentleman Of
landed property in the county of S. being
lately on the outside of stage coach, had
sworn several oaths, within few minutes
after taking his seat. Addressing Minis
ter, stranger to him, he remarked, awe
hear, sir, great deal about the march of
intellect are You, sir, believer in the
march OF intellect? believe these S. clod
hopPers know nothing of the march ofintel-
lect." The minister replied, "Ihave OBJ
served, sir, that there is not so much profane
swearing among the peasantry as there used
to be. consider that one decisive proof OF
their intellectual improvement" The gen.
tleman appeared as if he felt the reproof,
but had too much good sense to manifest
any dlspeasure. In his subsequent con-
versatlon, which proved him to be an intel
lectual person of high order, he showed him
Incapable Of going forward in the march
of improvement, as he swore no more dur
ing the fifty miles journey.

THE LOST STARRY Miss LANDoN
A light is gone from yonder sky,
A star has left its sphere;
The beautiful-and do they die
In yon bright world as here
Will that star leave a lonely Place,
A darkness on the night
No! few will miss its lovely face,
And none think heaven less bright!
What vert thou star of? vanished one ?
What mystery was thine
Thy beauty from the east is gone
What was thy sway and sign
Vert thou the star of opening youth ?
And is it then for thee,
It's frank glad thoughts, its stainless truth,
So early cease to be?
OF hope land was it to express
How soon hope'sinks in shade;
Or else of human loneliness,
In sign how it will fade
How was thy dying like the sons,
In music to the last,
An echo flung the winds among,
And then forever past
Or didst thou sink as stars whose light
The fair moon renders vain
The rest shine forth the next dark night,
Thou didst not shine again.
Didst thou fade gradual from the time
The first great curse was hurled,
Till lost in sorrow and in crime,
Star of our early world
Forgotten and departed star
A thousand glories shine
Round the blue midnights regal car,
Who then remembers thine
Save when some mournful bard like me
Dreams over beauty gone,
And in the fate that waited thee,
Reads what will be his own.
