tags arc holding, would take you for a pleasan
fellow. and esteem you guilty OF some Occur
hunour when you call that a woman
certairly behold some Tapping rags Of SILK
Why sir. can she utter PLAIN, artlculate sound
labor under some apprehension when she tne'
to speak for her eye has no part IN 1t, and he
tongue, well drilled though it be, suffers unde
some con9ulsion. ] marvel how many painful
months trying at mirror have to answer fo
that easy posture Those frozen syllabes flowco
never from warm and beating heart. Tha
chilly icc.glcam is no smile. | wonder if thi:
creature thinks or feels. Ha !. ha
| tell you saw girl lifting water from the
well in her woodcii can erewhilc and her eyes
were deep and geamy as the spring, ard change
able as its moving light. Her check was "r rosy
glowing rcd," like the heart of the apple blossom
for its blood came up there, bounding from the
heart Of innocence. IF you heard her singing
early in the fields, they would be stfangc tones tc
ring over that barren heart of yours; for they are
such as the lark sings when he shakes his wings
from the dew; and she springs on her step like a
gruc let loose on the mountain. And yet they
smoke around her all the evening long. II IS
rcorth a miles '1alk, only 10 hare her hand you q
| coal 10 yOur pipe. Those gancing eyes OF hers
rcrcr turn up into a frigid stare when young
Frank Avere brings out his GuGheen; ltnd, by
my faith, sir, think Frank has a better bargain
of it in that bosom, warm with all the blooming
affections of humanity, than you have, making
a holy show' of yourself for the entertainment
Of the ladies'.
The Ladies Man talks to him of Nature where
upon he receives what follows for an answer:
NATuNE.-Oh! it is melancholy merry to hear
the sacred name of nature in fools mouth
Hence with your cap and bells, srrah; | can en-
dure the ciat.cr no inorc, If nature gave not to
MEN the brains to think, the faculty to coilimrn-
cate and hands to execute the thought what
miserable shinlul of bubbles vert thou, poor DOLL
for whom the great mother thou blasphelnest pitt
fl Of thine nfirmity, hath provided, out of her
al undancc, from the fruit of poor mems toll ;
within whose breasts, as tlte5 dclye the soil or
fling the shuttle, live such thoughts as 0iic Of
them, being divided, were sufficient to inspire
with something holy an hundred such as thou,
end make thee worthy the sacred air thou breath:
est. OF those brains and hands sprung pipes,
and nature gave tobacco. Hence, with thy
starch and jet, and pray to that familiar demon,
whose office it is 10 make show of thee openly
under the sum- for a space to 1orcgo his pranklng.
Then mayhap, thine eyes shall open, and thou
shalt see revelations. For such as thou there is
no hope short Of miracles. | do repent me that
| hare spent so Jnucl, breath on thee; but thou
art of seed that have plagtted me Ike hornets
Flee away and nib pen console thee with a
copy of verses, written on Il pcrfumcd paper OF
ccrule hue To young lady who had lost her
parasol," and wc shall hear what a 4" dear"
doat ;" divine little fellows thcu art, from those
same ladies you wot of.
TIE SUMMuM BoNUM.-Some have thought all
good IN knowledge, and gone mad-solnc melan-
choly-somc blustrous IN the sea-ch. Some have
laid plots and plans, and horoscopes, and search
cd for it in vain with long telescopes among the
stars. Others have diggcd for it in the bowels OF
the earth, and melted ores painfully IN cruci5lcs,
and died raying about the philosophers stone,
(Which take to be tomb-stonc.) come lew
calm men have called it VIRTUE, and gone down
unnoticed to tic grave, pointing with tfic hand
of death triunphantlv to heaven; Most men;
and women too, as far as can see, call ;t MONEY,
and make wonderful world of care, and cruelty,
and broken hearts about them, as they drive the
poor and the oppressed, and the hoH1cless, and
the fatherless children and widows oiit 6f their
way to grasp it. OF truth, it mustF.bc good
for precious is the life and soul that Is spilled Tor
it, bartcrcd for it, day by day. Innocence lays
down its angel crown for it and all tlic glorious
havings OF humanity ftilow--snd. the holy one,
peace, spreads out her wings and fees away
Now, have secret notion OF my own about
this good. | believe it is good not to meddc
with my neighbours plough. Let HIM farm his
own reasons. believe it is good to believe all
things good, for so Wisdom uttcrs. l~bellcve II
is good to look oh the sunny yslde of mems souls,
for there is darkness cnow about my own. l
wish no man offence through tobacco, nor shall >
receive it at his hands-so Of my duty to my
neighbor.
But for myself | call calm thoughts, serene
contemplations, portion Of that celestial herl-
tage for which we mol below. Under mine own
trees | sit and find them the wind moves them
like the leaves around me- and my pipe sends up
an incense which good spirits refuse not II offer
cd with an humble heart.
| call friendship = part Of it and by many a
glen and hill, how many friend have | with
whom to meet and smoke Is suppng with the
gods.
Is memory nothing All these shades that
throng around me in the silent hour, aboshlng
the gra3e-to call back chidhood-to restore al!
youth-to realize an inward world invisible, full
of all Love, and Hope, and Faiths thus not
good To evaporatc Sorrow, to consume Tue
consumer, to gather the clouds about you and DC
apart-is all this nothing
But cur space is gone and not tlthe ol the
beauties of this article are cued, to say nothing
of the Others which the magazine contains, Of
which fine criticism on Keats and hls Poetry,
"Withercd Hopcs-a Drcamcr's Tale" and
"I.aura Willoughby" are the best. "lrelane
Sixty Years A go is q racy paper, and the "lrlsi
