JULIA.

And now the moon had dimmed, with dewy
ray,
The few fine Pushes of departing day;
Der the wide waters deep serene she hung,
And her broad lights on every mountain flung;
When 10! sudden blast the vessel blew,
And to the surge consigned its title crew.
All, all escaped-but ere the lover bore
His faint and faded JULIA to the shore,
Her sense had fcd!--exhausted by the storm,
A fatal trance hung DER her pallied form;
Her closing eye trembling lustre fired;
Twas life's last spark--it fluttered and expired

Charity should begin at home, &C
cording to the old adage, and SO should
all other good qualities. Let the do
nestle circle feel the influence of the
better feelings ofour nature, and those
who are beyond it will in due time ex-
pericncc the benefits of them. AS for
those who display their excellencics
before the eye of the void, and keep
them hidden from such as are bound TO
hem by the ties of relationship and af-
tini.y, there is reason TO fear that tn If
noble actions originate in love of os-
tentation rather than in any innate
love of doing good. Show US kind
father, husband, son or brother, and
we will show you in ninety-ninc cases
out Of the hundred a good citizen.

GRATITUDE.

A very poor aged man, busted in
planting and grating apple trees, was
rudely interrupted by this interroga-
tion:-"Why do YOU plant trees. who
cannot cat the fruit Of them!" He
raised himself up, and leaning upon
his spade, replied, "Somc one planted
trees for me before ] was born, and |
have eaten the fruit; now plant for
others, that the moral Of gratitude may
exist when am dead and gone.

THE VIOLET.

by SIR WALTER SCOTT.
The Violet in her green wood bower,
Where birchen boughs with hazcls nlingle,
MAY boast itself the fairest flower
In glen, or copsc, or forest dingle.
Though fair her gems of azure,
Beneath the dcw-drop's weight reclining,
I've seen an eye of loyelier blue,
More sweet through wat'ry lustro shining
The summer sun that dew shall dry,
Ere yet the day be past its morrow;
Nor longer in my false loves eye
Remain the tear of parting sorrow

daughters of the Duke of Marlborough
Written at Tunbridge, Wells
ODE.
Fair nymph ascend to beauty's throne,
And rule that radiant world alone;
Let favorite3 tai Nthe loioer spheres
No monarchs are thy rivals here
The court of beauty built sublime,
Dcies all power, but Heaven, and time;
Envy, that clouds the hero's sky,
Aims, but in vain, her shafts SO high
No BLenaeims field, nor Listers flood,
Nor standards, dy in Gallic blood,
Torn from the foe, add nober grace
To Churchill's house, than Spencer's face.
The warikc thunder Of hlS arms
Is lesa commanding than her charms;-
His lightning strikes with less surprise
Than sudden Chances from her eyes:-
HIS captycs feel their limbs confined
In ircn--she cnslayes the mind
We follow, with pleasing pair,
And bless the conqueror, and the chain.
The muse, which dares in numbers do
What paint and pencil never knew,
Faints al her presence-in dispair,
And owns the inmitabie there.
"0n the sight Of these beautiful lines, certain
divine composed the following, in which it is
difficult to say, whether he has paid greater
compliment to the author or TO the lady he
had celebrated:-
"Whi!e numerous bards have sounded Spencer
name,
And made her beauties heirs to lasting fame,
Her memory still to their united lays
Stand less indebted than to Watts praise.
"What wond'rous charms must to that tar
be given,
Who ,nou'd mind that dioet 50 near TO Hed-
uen!"

THE "VALE OF TEARS"
There is land Of which write,
Where trouble fills the breast;
: For mortal man, twas ne'cr design'd,
To be place Of rest;
'ris filId with cares, that doth perplex,
With many doubts and fears;
II is the land in which we dwell,
1t is this "vale of tears" Hla.
Along ife's path fair roses bloom,
All beaut'ous to the eye;
But if we tempt to take the fiow'r,
We find thorn is nigh,
The heart to wound, 'twould pleasure take,
In what so fair appears;
There's nought on earth to cheer our path,
Along this ''vale of tears"
Religions Star IS the only guide
To cheer US through this vale;
ga cloud by day, fire by night"
Twill not the Christian fail;
Who follows it, will ever find
A guide, that never veers;
II points unto place of rest,
Beyond this "vale of tears"
Mount Zion, through the glass of faith,
Bursts full upon our sight;
Its atmosphere is ever pure,
Its skies are ever bright;
High, far above theNhings of earth,
Its nfty summit reaukt
There stands the New Jerusalem,
Above this "vale of tears"
"Whene'er the silver cord be loosl,"
"The golden bowl be broke'';
When Death, commissioned for the act,
Shall strike the fatal stroke;
Then may quit the things Of earth,
RELIEVED from doubts and fears;
Triumphant rise and join the blest,
Above this 'svale of tears.'' JUNIus.

out indignantly, no. Again we ask you, why h'
cannot! If he cannot, and there is no law excu
ding him in such cases from the exercise OF the
right, we boldly affirm, that there Is no such
right. We affirm it from the principles of the So
cial compact--from the long and well-es,ablished
rules of jurisprudence, that if right exists at all,
it exists in its most unlimited extent unless re-
strained, and limited by the positive enactment Of
the Legislature, or the well-establshed common
law based upon the authoritative decisions OF
courts. We may be met by the answer, that pub
lie policy forbds such an exercise Of it--that pub
lie policy thus defines and limits it-but we do
not admit that courts are TO make laws founded
on their opinion, Of public policy, and political
expediency. We hold that Courts are to espound
laws, the Legislature to judge of their policy and
And we are only surprised that the
Legislature should so long have neglected to de-
termne what would be polite and expedient.
