refund female. III failed in accomplish
ing my purpose, it must be attributed t
inability of mind, not to any malicious de
sign. l do disavow any intention t
hcerate the feelings or injure the reputa
tion of any individual, more especially
female, in any production that has hith
erto emanated from my pen; but in thi,
that l am o writing, every sentence
has a direct application, which cannot BE-
misunderstood, and is intended for a Sc
of contentibie upstarts, for whose opin-
len / care nothing, and whose good will
l spurn. If any feel themselves ag-
grieved they know to whom to apply for
redress. Opportunities, at least, shall
not be wanting.
The editors of the Radical" have had
the kindness to direct my attention TO the
illusions of some lying b~lackguard, who
signs himself some of your patrons" So
far as my W name is Immediately as
ISOLATED with that of a female, 1 would
forbear, in any event, from feelings of
delicy, either to deny or palliate the Of
fences that are attributed TO me. / will
appeal however, to the observation Of
many cognizant to the circumstances al
luded to as being only necessary TO give
the lie to every charge,-and as his own
story proves him to be a finished knare
or a consumate fool, l shall leave him to
grope along in that notifying neglect to
which his murdered English and puerile
publications will soon consign him. The
idea that my attentions were either full
sum or rebuked by orders to absent my
selffrom her presence will appear ridicu-
low TO those whe witnessed the progress
of the affair.
The base insinuation that l was the
author of an anonymous letter often al
luded 10, constitutes in itself, a base I'M
founded lie, and adds another link TO the
long chain of falsehoods which he has
attempted to palm off upon the world as
truths. As 10 the commission ofmurder
and the preparation of such horrible
outrages against all law, both human and
divine, l shall only say, that though very
susceptible, it would require a d~ulcenia
Of different name 10 reduce me TO such
a state Of desperation.
We are not surprised at the reluctance
manifested by this barefaced slanderer
and s~oulless poltron, in giving his name,
for it is a production of which the veri-
est Ounce might be ashamed, and whose
unblushing inconsistencies and reckless
disregard of truth, should call the blush
TO the cheek Of one less vile and debas-
ed.
In M instance he has acknowledged
that / stated some truths, yet his state
ment accords in no one particular with
mine. But if the publication which l
gave TO the world was purely the work
of my own brain, and differed so widely
from truth why does he presume to make
the application.
In conclusion however l viii say that
every line Of the above has "palpable
application" The world can now see
upon whom will rest the imputation of
'cowardice," and it can be discovered by
experiment that one trait Of my character
It least "does not defy analysis" |.

That love unbidden came one day,
And while we nothing fear'd, alas!
Did steal our silly hearts away.

The bold presuming, saucy eli,
Without so much as by your leave
Walked in and introduced himself.
We thought twas strange that he shouldcome;
sOne whom we scarcely knew by sight
And make himself so much at home,
AS though he meant to spend the night.
But ali !! while felt we no alarm,
Nor ever for a moment thought
His visit BODIED ANY harm,
Dur hptteIing, trembling hearts were caught.
For they, itseems, were out at play
With Fancy in her realms of air,
Where Love deserted his truant prey.
And made them easy captixes there.

A FANCY SKETCH.

A FANCY SKETCH.
A maiden at her easement stood,
Musing on things long since gone by.
She wiped away a pcarly tear,
And family heaved a gentle sigh.
The moon poured forth her silv'ry beams,
And as the lovely fair one sat.
She raised her sweet meIodious voice.
And sang-"Its all around my hat"
| saw that bcauteous girl once more:
The smile had left her sunny brow;
Shed lost her pleasant cheertulness--
Her looks betoken sorrow now.
Her countenance was pale with grief;
Her heart was faall-she could not speak;
And as the tear-drops trickled down,
They washed the paint from off her cheek!
when once again j saw that form,
Her eyes shone bright with brilliant fire /;
Her quiTering lips and s~cornful glance
Nese tokens of her vengeful ire. flushed
Her looks were wild-her cheeks were
With hue more crimson than the rose -
She raised her hand, and with her fist
She crack'd her sister Ger the nose!

When the breezes
Amidst the treeses
Wheezes,-
And the little naked urchins the squalling
geeses leases!
And when the cowses
Released from the plougbses,
Around The houses,
Browses-
And when old grandpa's spouse
With spectacles on nose is
Quietly darning the old mans clotheses,
Taking long stitches
In the seat of his breeches-
While the young one nearer bitches,
And with desperate switches
Every now and then the thread from grandma
