Beauty and Venas de Mediei.-Moral- ists have sufficiently acclaimed against beauty. love to lookat woman, whose face is all harmony, and her eye all intelli- gence. Where is the evil My percep- lions are those ofinnocent pleasure. l am formed to take delight in the delicate glow of the rose, in the thick, green foliage of the myrtle, in the pleasant duskiness of twilight, and in the song of the morning bird. Shall look cold on the animated beauty oft woman? I am not to be bla- med if l express my ardent admiration of exquisit proportion; of skin, delecate in its fibres, soft in the touch, and coloured beyond all power of painting. If the Vc- nus de Medicis in the Louvre attracts all eyes and entrances all hearts what being should l be, to look unmoved at one, su- perior to the Venus, because animation gives charm, which the sculptor could not impart, and intelligence is not to be found in the statue.

From The Ncy YORK Commercial .4dvertiser.

THE late Reid John Sammeyfeld.-- friends
of this extraordinary young Clergyman, who was so
early cut off in the pride of youth and beauty, and
in the dawn OF what was fondly hoped would have
been long and brilliant of usefulness in the
Christian world, will he pleased to learn that ar
engagements have at length been completed for the
publication of biographical sketch of his life, to
embrace. we believe, some selections OF his re-
mains. His life was short, but brilliant mete-
or and on the thousands and tens of thousands who
hung with rapture upon the thrilling accents of his
tongue, while the sweet messages OF heavens mer-
CIV were distilling from his lips, an impression was
made that time cannot obliterate. We we're appriz-
ed some considerable time since, that the relations
and more immediate friends of Mr. s., both here
and in England, had united in request to Mr.. James
Montgomery, the poet, to become his biographer.
The idea of employing the distinguished author OF
g The World Before the Flood" upon this subject,
was happy one. His prose is equally telicitous,
and perhaps more vigorous than his verse and
he would have brought to the task, mind richly
cultivated, and refined by all the christian graces
imbued with the purest principles; and in all res
pects fitted to appreciate and portray the character
of the deceased. And though it is matter of re.
gret, that, thus peculiarly qualified, Mr.. Montgom.
ery was himself unable to undertake the work, yet
Inf is source of no little satisfaction that the work
is to be executed by friend selected for that pur
pose by Mr. nj. and under his immediate superinten-
deuce and direction. The arrangements that have
been made will more fully appear from the follow
inp extracts which we have been permitted to make
from the letters of Mr.. Montgomery himself.

THE FEAST OF LIFE.
az bid thee to my mystic feast,
Each one thou lowest is gathered there;
Yet put thoNNon mourning robe,
And bind the cypress in thy HAIR.
The hall is vast, and cold and drcar;
Tie bo ard with faded flowers is spread:
Shadows of beauty Hit around,
But beauty from which bloom is fled.
Blu music echoes from the walls,
But music with dirge like sound;
And pale and silent are the guests,
And every eye is on the ground
Here, take this cup, though dark it seem,
Aud drink TO human hopes and fears;
''ris from their native element
The cup is iillcd-it is Of tears.
What turn'st thou with averted brow!
Thou soonest this poor feast of mine,
And askest for a purple robe,
Light words, glad smiles, and sunny wine.
In vain, the veil has left thine eyes,
Or such these would have seemed to theei
Before thee is the Feast of Life,
But life in its reality !"

NATURE. The Empress Josephine used
to send from Paris bales of toys, playthings,
puppets, &C., to her grand children among
others, Napoleon, the little son Of Louis,
used to receive an ample share while at the
Hague. One new years day, the queen
Hortense received an immense case full of
the most ingenious toys that the invention
of Grancher ard Giroux could devise
Young Napoleon was sitting looking out of
window into the park, and appeared to
receive with Indifference all the presents
spread before him; he still persevered in
gazing down the long avenue that led from
his window. The queen, disappointed at
not seeing him so happy as she had expect
ed, asked him if he was not grateful to his
grandmamma for having taken such pains
to procure him all the pretty things before
him? ooh! yes, mamma, am very CRATE
ful !" "but do not all these pretty play
things amusc you z" "Yes, mamma, but"
"But what P" Z" | want very much-some-
thing also" "Tell me what it is; prom
Use it to you, my boy" ooh mamma, but
you would not, am sure" :" Is it money
for the poor ?" "Papa gave me that this
morning, and it is already distributed; it
is" "Come, speak out, you know how
much | love you, so you may be sure that |
would begin the new year with something
you would like; come then, my dear darl-
ing, what is it you want?" "Mamma, |
want to walk in that pretty mud, which l
see out at the window that would amuse
me more than any thing else"

APOLOGIZE.

My little girl, the other day,
Three years of age month ago,
Wounded her finger while at play,
And saw the crimson current flow.
With pleading optics, raining tears,
She sought my aid, in terror wild;
/ smiling said" dismiss your fears,
And all shall soon he well, my child"
Her little bosom ceased to swell,
While she replied, with calmcr brow,
know that you can make it well,
But how, papa? / don't see how"
Our children oft entreat US thus,
For succour or for recompense
They lcok with confidence to US,
As we should look to Providence.
For each infantile doubt and fear,
And every little childish grief,
Is uttered to a parents ear,
With full assurance of relief.
A grateful sense of favors past,
Incites them to petition now,
With faith in succour to the last,
Although they can't imagine how.
And shall doubtingly repine,
When clouds of dark affection lower |?
A tender father still is mine,
OF greater mercy, love, and power:
He clothes the lily, feeds the dove,
The meanest insect feels his care;
And shall not man confess his love,
Man, his offspring and his heir?
Yes, though he Stay, I'll trust him still,
And still with resignation bow.
He may relieve, he can, he will
Although cannot vet see how.

RULEs ron PRESERVING THE SIGHT.
The preservation Of the sight is an object
of so much Importance TO every individual,
whatever may be his profession or rank in
society, that we have thought a few hints in
relation to this subject, might be productive
Of beneficial effects.
1t is well known to the physician, that
nothing more certainly impairs the sense Of
vision than debauchery, and excess of every
kind. The individual, therefore, who would
preserve his sight unimpaired, must avoid,
carefully, every species of intemperance.
This is an al-important rule, a neglect OF
which will render every other of but little
avail.
A long continuance in absolute darkness,
or frequent and protracted exposure to n
blaze of light, equally INJURIES the sense OF
vision.
Persons who live almost constantly in dark
caverns or chambers, workers in mines, and
prisoners who have been long confined in
gloomy dungeons, become incapable of see
ing objects distinctly, excepting in deep
shade, or in the dusk of the evening. While,
on the other hand, in various parts of the
world, in which the light is constantly re-
Elected from soil of dazzling whiteness, or
from mountains and plains covered with al
most perpetual snow, the sight of the inhab-
itants is perfect only in broad day light and
at noon.
Those, also, who are much exposed Ia
bright fires, as blacksmiths, glassmen, forg.
ers, and others engaged in similar employ.
ments, are considered, by the hest authori.
ties, as most subject TO loss of sight from
cataract.
