often keeping his mother waiting until one or
two o'clock. Her advice, given in the mildest
manner had no effect upon hin, and his reslo-
ration TO regular and virtuous habi,s.was only
effected by the following singular occurrence.
One night, rather earlier than his hour of re-
turning home, his mother heard the footsteps
Of person running up the stairs, whom she
supposed 10 be her son. AS usual she went 10

side, and made his escape before the screams

found his mother in most distressing state
Of fear and indisposi'ion. During subse>

Der resembled in his general appearance a
young companion of her son, who had often
called 10 see him. The son was much surpris-

Der the smooth azure of the starry way;
And from thy heavenly height
Thou seest how systems rise and pass away

Cast off its mould of clay,
And with the wise and good,
Make wings unto itself, and flee away,
That, with thy bright array,
We might look down upon this world of WOO

Looks on the restless ocean flow,
And eyes the fighting waves that pant and foam below

Thou lovely mischief !-Gentlest of Gods creatures;
And worst of furies; flower of Paradise,
And rank, foul weed, with deadest poison fraught
Top of all virtue, extract of all vice;
Above all value, yet cheaply bought;
Source of all good and fountain of all evil;
Mans heaven and hell, his angel and his devil;
Gods favorte, and Gods denominations
Our curse and blessing, saviour and damnation;
The rock on which mans shipwrecked hopes are lost
The haven where his bark in peace reposes,
The sea of troubles where his soul is toss'd
The spirit that DER his life calm diflses;
Earth's deepest stain, creations brightest spot
Tell me. what art thou, and what art thou not?
1t grieves me, ladies, to the heart, to say
Things harsh as these, but tits a covert way
To fatter you, for still the Muses. deal
In fiction, so pray you take the good

False as the despots oaths the DEVILS wies,
