"a pretty plaything,
Dear deceit -

We honor the chivalrous Difference which is
paid in our land to women. 1t proves that our
men know how to respect virtue and pure affec-
ton, and our women are worthy of such re-
spect. Yet women should be something more
than mere women, to win us to their society,"
To be our companions, they should be fitted to
be our friends to rule our hearts, they should
be deserving the appreciation Of our minds
There are many such, and that there are not
more, is rather the fault of our sex, than their
own; and despite all the unmanly scandals that
have been thrown upon them in prose or verse,
they would rather share in the rational CONVEX
sation of men of sense than silly compliments
of fools; and man dishonors them, as well as
disgraces himself, when he seeks their circle fol
idle pastime, and not for the improvement Of his
mind.

THE DEATH OF A DEBToT

The turnkey led the way in SILENCE, and gently

olate room, with number of stump beadsteads
made of iron, in one of which lay the shadow of
man, pale and CHASTITY His breath was hard
and thick; and he moaned painfully as it came
and went AT the bed side sat short old man
in cobler's apron, who by the aid of pair OF
horn spectacles, was reading from the bible aloud
1t was the fortunate legatee--the sick man laid
his hand on his attendants arm, and motioned
him TO stop. He closed the book and laid it on
the bed. ''Open the window" said the sick
man. He did So The noise of carriages and
carts, the rattle of wheels, the cries of men and
boys, all the busy sounds of mighty multitude
instinct with life and occupation, blended in one
deep murmur, floated into the room. Above the
hoarse loud hum rose from time TO time bois-
ferrous laugh or a scrap Of song, shouted forth by
one of the giddy crowd, would strike on the ear
for an instant, and then be lost, amid the of
voices, and the tramp of footsteps the breaking
of the pillows of the restless sea of life that rolled
heavily on without These are melancholy
sounds to quiet listener at any time but how
melancholy to the watcher by the bed of death !
"There is air here !" said the sick man family.

my friend, in this hideous grave. My heart broke
when my child died, and did not even kiss him
in his little coffin. My loneliness since then in
all this noise and riot has been very dreadful.
My god forgive me! He has seen my solitary
lingering death. He folded his hands and muir
muring something more that they could not hear,
fell into sleeps only sleep at first, for they
saw him smile They whispered together for a
little while, and the turnkey STOPPING over the
pillow, drew hastily back 'sHe has got his dis

A PORTRAIT.

On, she was passing fair 1.-THE wildings bloom
Piay'd gambos ON her cheek--her downcast eve
Had stolen lis color from the noon day sky
The fresh-blown cowslip lent her breath perfume
The hair the spacious earth can find no room
For semblance-'twas the peerless golden dye
Of evening Clouds when sweetest sunheams lie
On their bright places, mnging into gloom
The heart was gentle yet her soul had fire
OF that pure essence rarely found below
But soon she left this vale Of low desire.
The scene of want of tyranny and wo,
For happier worlds, where heaven born minds aspire
And through eternal mansions wandering go
