GESrlENES.-Allow me the pleasure OF encio'
sing YOU some unpublished lines Of distinguish
ed and popular English poet, written 10 the com
mon p.ace book Of fair countrywoman OF ours
some few yearssince, under the engraved portta'ts
of Lord and Lady Byron. They record the whole
history Of that unfortunate couple, and Will, no
doubt, find many admirers among the numerous
readers of the Mirror. foNilA'
Lines written after the perusal OF numerous esc
saws relative to the marriage and separation Of
scer,ain noble lord and lady, who, once upon
. time, we're paired, not matched.
She said she never would forgive,
And yet forgave him
She vow'd single life she'd live,
And never have HIM
She swore she never would repent,
And vet repented-
By Jove. she never would consent,
And vet consented!
Nasthis well done, or sensible, or witty.
And vet tits " oman like, ali, more's the pity
Well. then, she married him-of course they par

Within a twelvemonth from their wedding
day;
She sobbed and sighed-was nearly broken hear
He sought out foreign cmes, and wrote and
swore ~ ,
Whole books of nonsense bout his child and
wife,
And toy'd with pretty women BY the score,
And, not long after, breathed away his Lille.
TIE world, since then, has studied rather hard

S.re link the lady wrons'd. ant. some the bard,
And SOME in tears have DER their story bent:
Yet all agree, tits very, very odd
That nau and wife should cut up such Ca

But one i. resting 'uea,h the quiet sod,
The other wasting silently lies taper.
Now for the moral Of my fretful verse
Unlike the writings Of the man sing

Though it nor cash, nor critics praises BRING

The man whose hand they've once refused IN

Will rue the day thateve they were born!

FEMALE EDUcATIoN.-A1cr all that
has been written respecting the impor-
tance Of Female Education, and after all
has been planned for its improvement, II
il certain that the subject is neither un-
derstood nor appreciated, as its merits de-
serve.
Why is this? And what shall be done
70 arouse the people, of both sexes, from
the slumber Of agesi
Education will not be understood, nci-
ther will it be priced, so long rs t,iaes en-
gross the attention Of females, and so long
as men are pleased with female triners.
But what hopes is there that either
males or females will reform in this matter,
so long as education continues as il is, and
has been?
Here we find ourselves re, diving a
circle. To raise the tone of female edu-
cation, there is first needed, tho very quail
tiles for the existence Of which the exis-
tence Of the desired reform in education
must first be presupposed!
Here is indeed difficulty; and seri-
Gus one. But not single one.
A reformed press is indeed, to carry on
the work of moral reform but in order to
Its existence and support, that reform
must first be prc-supposcd to exist'
The difficulties in the way Of an i'm
provcment in female education, therefore,
are not singular. They are the same that
encompass every good cause. Therefore
they are net insuperable. Though VIC
cannot work wiihous instruments, yet we
may and must work with weak and feeble
ones.-.ddr
