THE NEWSPAPER.

A newspaper taken in family seems
to shed CLEAN OF intelligence around. 1t
gives the children taste for reading 1t
communicates all the important events
which are passing in the busy world; it
is never failing source of amusement;
and furnishes fund OF instruction which
will never be exhausted. Every family,
however poor, il they wish to hold
place in the rank of intelligent beings,
should take at least one newspaper. And
the man, who, possessed Of property suf-
ficient to make himself easy for life and
surrounded by children eager for kpowl-
edge. is instigated by the vile spirit OF
cupidity and neglects to subscribe to a,
newspaper. is deficient in the duties OF
parent or a good citizen. and is deser-
wing of The censure Of his Intelligent
neighbors.

BEAUTY AND TIME.
by MISS pARDoE.

by MISS PARDOE.
Beauty went out one summer day,
To rove in Pleasures bower;
And much she sporied in her way
With every opening flower.
AT length she reached a myrtle shade,
And through the branches peeping,
She saw, among the blossoms lain,
Time, most profoundly sleeping.
His head was pillowed on his wings,
For he had JuIl'd his pininns,
TO linger with the lovely lhngs
In Pleasures br ,ght dominions
HI. scythe and glass aside were cast,-
'ilOw softly he reposes 90
Cried Beauty, as che idly past,
Aud Cover'd him it'll roses.
Time woke-"Away ~ he kindly said
GO trifie with the Graces;
You know that was never made
To toy with pretty faces.
IT'S pleasant in so sweet. 4 cline
To rest while from duty;
I'll sleep little mare" said Time,
"No, do wake up said Beauty
lie rose-but he was grim and old;
She felt her roses wIlher,
III is scythe upon her heart was cold,
His hour-glass made her shiver!
Her young cheeks shrank, her hair turn ID
gray,
OF grace he had bereG her;
Aud when he saw her droOp away,
He spread lis wings, and left her.
And thus | point my simple rhyme
Ii is the Min strel's duty
Beauty should moi sport with Time,
Time always wirhers beauty!

the following anecdote from the Spirit of the
Times:
Wandering some time since, along the
shore OF Long Island, and not far from
Smilhtown, my attention was suddenly ar
rested ny the peculiar juxtaposilioh of fox
and flock OF wild geese that were laziIy
and confidently floating down the current a
long the verge of sedge which thickiy coated
the banks. Reynsrd, as soon as he observed
the approach of bis intended prey, betook
himself TO device worry OF Talleyrand. -
He seized upon !. large bunch of sedge grass
dropped quietly into the stream, and hav-
ing SWAN just so lar into the stream % 10 in>
tetcept his floating game, "marked time"
with all his body merged. except the tip end
OF his nose, capped with The aforesaid bunch
of sedge grass, until lie iound himseli in the
midst Of The unsusIeciing flock, when,
throwing off his disguise, be made dash al,
and secured two fine geese, which be bore
off triumrhantiy, having TO disposition to
interfere in so admirably conducted a speci-
mco Of his legitimate vocation
