Alas how much worse off are too ma
ny of our betters Who can be called
rich, whatever may be his rent roll, who
has exhausted life, principal and interest +;
whose association with housebreakers,
panders, jockeys, pimps, and blackegs has
compelled him to forego the society, as he
breads the superiority, of men of genius
and learning; who, in the contemplation
Of public prohigacy, has lost all belief in,
and respect for public honesty and manly
virtues who in intercourse with the aban-
doned and unfortunate OF the other sext
has long since learned to deride and con-
tenn, save in his own exclusive clique, the
nobility of virtue in woman Who can be
called happy whose fate exempts him from
the necessity of labor, yet fails to provide
him with resources against idleness who
must fly to the gaming-table, or the bowl,
for oblivion Of intruding thoughts who
languidly lives on without hope or aim,
installing pleasure for business, dlssipa-
ton for enjoyment; who, reversing the or
binary course Of life, begins where others
end, and has no more TO do than to preci-
plate his own decIine-prosperous without
excrtion, rich without enjoyment, misera-
bic without misfortune.

THE ENCHANTED MOUNTAIN IN TEXAS.

his singular mountain or hill, is situa-
ted on the head waters of the Sandy--a
small tributary Of the Colorado, about
miles from Bassrop, in north-westerly d.
rectlon. 1t is about three hundred feet
high, and appears to be an enormous oval
rock partly embedded in the earth. When
the sun shines, the light is reflected from
It's polished surface as from an immense
mirror, and the whole mountain glows with
such dazzling radiance, that the behold
er who views it at the distance Of four or
five miles, is unable TO gaze upon it without
experiencing painful sensation, similar
to that which is felt when looking upon the
rising sun. The ascent Of the hill! is so
very gradual, that persons can easily walk
up TO the top; but the rock is so smooth
and slippery. that those who make the at
tempt, are compelled to wear mocasins or
stockings instead of shoes. This fact to-
gether with the name Of the place, d" Holy
Mountain" remind the visitant very forci-
bly, of the command made TO Moses at
Mount Horeb. "Put off thy shoes from oil
thy feet" &c. The .Camanches regard
this hill with religious veneration, and the
Indian pilgrims frequently assemble from
the remotest borders of this tribe, to per-
form their Paynim rites upon its summit.

without aflectation, and in as simple and

the intrinsic aid of trappings from the pro-
auctions of others.

Piled to every period and state Of society,

Introducing classic phrases, or of aluding
on all occasions to heather deites, is GER
tainly now much less common than during
former age, when pedantry was frequent
ly accepted as proof Of refinement; still
they are TOO frequently INDUCED in The
puerlle and fictitious transactions Of Ho-
mer's heroes and heroines arc a source Of
particular annoyance: we feel convinced
that if any man would purge our literature
OF illusions TO the "shield of AJAX" he
would deserve a reward for his great pub
lie service. Surely our own noble and ex-
p:essive language is sufficient for every
useful and ornamental purpose in every
kind Of composition calculated for popu-
larlty. Away, then, with the paltry prac-
tice of interlarding English writing either
with foreign words, or what are styled
classic illusions, which are injurious to
good writing, Of no value whatever to that
which is bad, and in almost every case
thoroughly useless Edinburgh Journal
