 WHAT IS WOLIAN? Like iiiss the Star rays that beam On the blush of the rose; Like the fancifui dream
 In the noon-tide's repose; Like the morn's mellow rays
 Or the red ciierryy2s hne; Like the dawn of the day
 To the mariners view Is the rich ruddy smile on the lips of the fair, The balm of the blest, and the nolace oi cares
 Like the gold tinted sky
 At the evenings close; Like the ruby-red dye
 Of the opening rose; Like the tulips beside
 The white lilies that bleach; Like the royal rich pride
 Of the opening peach zsbeauty's bright blush on the face of young love, The type of the virtue efangels above. Like the star meath the waves In perilous night; Like the violetthat laves
 In the dawn's deiyy light; Like the blue bell when hung
 With the drops of the shower; Like the chilly frost flung
 On the sensitive flower is the bright eye of woman dissolving in tears, Oh! then she most lovely and charming ap- pears!

something on this subject from the fre- qucnt complaints of our patrons that they are continually suffering from the sponging propebsiiies of tiieir neigh DOTS. We are pleased to hear that some degree of fondness is entertained for this55ea.lgliag of ours; butwe should De still better pleased if some mode of obtaining 1t were resorted to besides the .1asnlonable practice of abduction.
 Whatever you may think of it, gen. tlemen thieves, borrowers and beggars, 1t Is a fact that those who subscribe for q paperand pay for it, are apt to take it prodigiously amiss, that they cannot se- curely enjoy the fruits of that honesty and fair dealing which render quid pro quo. They complain that as soon as they lay down their papers, and even before they have had time to take them | up, some snatcher or borrower, or beg gar, gets possession of them, and they are seen no more.
 Now gentlemen spongers, we beg leave to say to you, in all sincerity el heart, that itis most yillainous trick of yours to be always getting your news paper reading without contributing a single sous Ill payment for the same. What would you think, thieves, borrow CTS and beggars as you are, of man, who should be in the habitual practice of coming into your shop and snatching up and pouring down gratis, your rum: whiskey and gin?-0f entering your store and borrowing a bandanna or twc?-Of going to your house and beg ging the milk you have bought for your coffee, or the meat you have purchased for your dinner!

Some caution is requisite iii passing our opinion upon strangers; a caution, however, which few of us adopt. At a public leyee of the court ofSt. James, a gentleman said to Lord Chesterfield pray, my Lord, who is that tall, awk- ward woman wonder? Thatlady, sir replied Lord Chesterfield, iS--my ysister. The gentleman reddened with confu- sion, and stamnlered out-no, no, my Lord, beg pardon: l mean that very ugly woman, hostands next the Queen.

Political Pisaires.-A Frenchman who had spent some time in the United States, was lately travelling in one of the western stages, and undertook to describe to a fellow passenger, an Eng lshman, who had just arrived in the country, the names and character of the different political parties. After run ming over the old list of Democrats, Federalists, Republicans, Quids, Buck tails, &c. &e. with a proper explana- ton to each: !" Then dare is de-de- de-vat you call-em-vat in England you call de leetle red Pismire; ha?n- "The little red Pismire2n replied the EngIIshman, ;" Why, we call them a1,ts." :" Begar dat is it-antis-de antis pony -de pismtre party.o This significant description and manner of refreshing his memory, excited the visibility of all the passengers but two, the honest French man, who was unconscious of having said any thing to laugh at, and re- nouncing anti-mason who thought 1t a personal allusion.-Hbaca Joar,aal.

 2" Li5erty ef tke Hand" ."-onc of the regular toasts at the Jefferson dinner, at Washington, was the following:
 "Liberty of the tongue; liberty of the press; liberty of the conscience; liberty oi the hand-the last net least"
 What "the last" means, nobody knows. Some say it means gougi,.g ; others imagine it to be a reflection on the President, for disniissing daetlists from the Navy. We guess it means the Nberty which John Randolph used, when he fogged his man Juba, to show him that the Missouri question had not dissolved the relation between master and slavc.-Boston Palladium.

4 Lorge Bonnet.-At Werllmeister's corner of Broadway and Pine-street, IS a caricature, representing lady with a bonnet 50 large that l2 men are mount ed on the crown and rim, and there is still room for more. Mostof these bon- net passengers are sitting at their ease; but one, more gallant or more curious than the rest, has got down upon his belly, and stretching his neck over the rim of the bonnet, is peeping into the lady's face. All this while, the lady is walking on regardless of these outside passengers and not seeming to know that she has aught on her head besides her bonnet.

influence, called upon the stranger, shot
with him, and invited him to his house.

active character Of IA clcrgyman's wife !;
but, the gentleman had no possessions
save his living, and as Mr.. l!ackman
could not, out OF life estate, supply Miss
Berc with fortune, it was judged pru-
dent under these pccunlary disabilities,
that she should decline the honor Of the
alliance.
