THE love OF v1RTUoUS WIFE.
ny NEos L'EScLos
Were l mnn aud had the fortune to win
heart, with whit parsimony would | use my
advanagel How many gradations you'd
oblige myself 10 pass through successfully
and slowly! How many delicate pleasures,
unknown TO the generality Of men, would /, as
il were, create 10 myself! Like the miser,
would necessarily contemplate my treasure
relcicc in the richness If il be conscious that
il constituted my highest facility; place my
whole scheme Of happiness in the possession
Of il; in looking upon it as my own peculiar
property. in being the absolute disposer of IL;
and strengthen myself in the resolution not 10
lessen il By use. What transports to read in
the eyes OF lovely woman the dominion you
have over her, to observe in all her actions re-
lative TO you, still increasing tenderness, to
perceive her voice assume a softer tone, when
ever she speaks 10 you; 10 view her bushes,
even upon compliment OF course; and TO
triumph in her confusion upon any particular
dress Can there be situation on enrth more
nattering than that Of a lover, conscious OF a
reciprocal flame And what surer proof can
be required than instances like these? How
charming to be expected with an impotence
that her whole prudence cannot conceal; to be
received with a welcome, which charms the
more by the endeavors which she makes, in
part, to hide her transport She has dressed
herself 10 suit your taste /; takes the very
mien, the accent, the whole air of a person
that is known 10 be most agreeable to you.
Before, she used to adorn herself to charm
your sex in general; at present her toilet is
spread for you alone, for you these jewels,
al. a.
the sole object Of her whole attire; you are
become her second self, she loves you over
again in her own image!
Caste amongst .vatire charlottesville
Madras papers afford two additional instances
of the force Of the prejudices Of caste amongst
native Christians. A dispute has arisen be-
tween two castles in native village, which
has formed the subject Of judicial inquiry, and
has been carried with great pertinaclty through
all the stages OF Judicial appeal, and is now
under the investigation Of the Sudder Dewan-
ny Adawiut, whose decision will be sure to
:. make one party ungratelnl, and the other
d'contented.' The second case refers to the
General Assembly's School at that presidency
which was rapidly rising to an equality in
point Of usefulness with the older institution
by disputes about caste. The higher castles
have refused to sit on the same form with the
Pariah, or the lowest grade OF native society;
and much discussion has been carried on TO
devise remedy for the evil. The objection
TO any association among the castles, even in
SO simple a matter as receiving instructions,
appears to be so strong that il is seriously pro-
posed to establish distinct school for the
poor outcasts, that their Brahmin fellow coun-
trymen may not be contaminated by any in
tercourse with them" --.Asiatic Journal.
Pleasure is a shadow; wealth is vanity, and
power pageant; but KNOWLEDGE is extactic
in enjoyment; perennial in fame unlimited in
space and infinite in duration. In the per-
Torrance of its sacred office, it fears no
danger spares no expense; omits no exer-
ton. 1t scales the mountain looks into the
volcano; dives into the ocean; perforates
the earth; enriches the globe explores sea
and land contemplates the distant; ascends
10 the sublime no place too remote for its
grasp: no heavens too exalted for its reach.
