Look at this, Americans. and learn wisdom. Lord Wilton in a speech re- gently delivered at Manchester, regret ted in the most pathetic strains that the principal gentry and nobility of England are not so much THOUGHT of, by the eona- mon people, as they were formerly.' For this lamentablc change, his lofdship as signed very proper reason. He said, sthe means of Edtteati0n arc becoming too genera, and aseessibleto the people, and 10 this cause he ascribed the morti. lying alteration in their department to- wards gentry and nobility
 There are men in this country who oppose q liberal system of education, from the same feeling as that experience ed by his lordship in this case. They fear that if the body of the people are well informed, less respect will be paid 10 Hemselves: and that their chance of duping the people for political purposes will be greatly lessened, as in truth 1t would be.-An.ef. Manufaeturer.

Female soeiety.-Efthereis any reere- ation, which more than all others tends 10 preserve the moral senses from poliu- lion, the affections from being corrupt
 ed, the social feelings from going to de- cay-to raise the manners and improve the heart,' it is in the frequent inter course with sensible and well educated females. l do not mean now that these advantages arc to be sought for or ex- pected in the crowded ballroom oFin fashionable parties. These are too of ten the hotbeds where the rank weeds of dissipation shoot up in their deadly lux uriance and wither the seeds of virtue. It is ratherin the exchange of thought in the hours of social intercourse, that the influence Of woman delights, cheers, and improves. Here there is no artif- eial excitement to lend q false glory to her cheek, or a deceitful volubility to her tongue. l value far higher. ono hour passed in the society of an intelli- gent, accomplished female, than all the giddy scenes fthc Theatre or Ballroom

There were witnesses to the bargain, sir, believe yon will be holden to let me have my choice at the price agreed on. Well 1 suppose you must; but Il seems hard
 Milyus' mind was so bewildered by tlc visions Of butter and cheese, thathe entirely disregarded the testimony ofhis senses respecting his purchase, and drove off Brindle with ali the pleasure attendant on the consciousness of having made q good bargain.
 As the farmer returned 10 tho house, he was accosted By his wife, Well, which COW did the Squire take? Q he took Brindlc." Lack q day;I guess he'll have 10 buy butter now, for that COW hasn't afforded q pound this whole summer.'

Farewell to those hopes, which so fondIy cherished. 0fgaining your hand, would sooner have perished; Than believed for one moment, there lnrck- ed II that breast, One wish to deceive me and ruin my rest. But, when beauty descends to such p:tiful arts, To ensnare unsuspicious, aTectionate hearts, What what can she promise herselfin the end, But, with the loss of her lover, tine loss of a friend For what man is possessed of, such mean ness of heart, As to suffer his feelings one moment to smart Who wonld not feel indignant at once, and forget, That his hopes had been blasted, by such a Coquette.
