The art Of being Agreeable.

The true art of being agreeable is to appear
we'll pleased with all the company, and rather to
seem we'll entertained with them than to bring
entertainment to them. A man thus disposed,
perhaps, may not have much learning, nor any
wit but if he has common sense and something
friendly in his behavior, it concliates mems minds
more than the brightest parts without disposition
and when man of such a turn comes to old
agehc is always sure to be treated with respect 1t
is true indeed that we should not dissemblc and
flaUor company-but man may be very ogree'
able, strictly consistent with truth and sincerity.
by prudent silence, whence cannot really con-
cur, and pleasing assent where he can. Now
and then you meet with a person so exactly
formed to please that he will gain upon every
one that hears or bcholds him. This disposition
is not merely the gift Of nature, but frequently
the effect of much knowledge of the world, and
command over the passions.

isle Of Beauty, fare thee wen!

BY THOMAS II. BAYLEY, ESQ.
Shades of ev'ning, close not DER us,
Leave our lonely bark while!
Morn, alas! will not restore us
Yonder dim and distant Isle
Still my fancy can discover
Sunny, spots where friends may dwell;
Darker shadows round US hover,
Isle of Beauty, fare thee well!
IT'S the hour when happy faces
Smile around the taper's light;
Who will fill our vacant places?
Who will sing our songs tonight?
Thro' the mist that floats above US
Family sounds the vesper bell,
Like voice from those who love us,
Breathing fondly Fare thee wellr'
When the waves are round me breaking,
AS pace the deck alone,
And my eye in vain is seeking
Some green leaf TO rest upon:
What would not give to wander
Where my old companions dwell;
Abscnse makes the heart grow londer,
Isle of Beauty, fare thee well!

then hurried of to priest, and thence in com
pany with this functionary, to the house of the
lady, who was Numbered up in the same way;
and ere her eyes were fairly opened, or her dis
hablle half arranged, the twain were one flesh.
The clergyman attested the execution ofthe SEN
tence, and abruptly departed with the officers,
leaving the astounded couple to get over their
confusion, consider what ought to be done next
and finish their broken slumber at their leisure.
This is condensed from translation of the
DIARY Of traveller in Russia in 1S43."

MISCELLANEOUS.
A Night with BURNS,

In Ainsworth's Magazine there is an account
of"A Night with Burns" by DR.. Shelton Mack
ensie; which although too much concocted af-
ter fashion that is the vice of magazines, is char
acteristic and entertaining.--Our Andrew Hor-
ner, resident in Carlisle, went to Glasgow to
publish volume of poems, much admired by him
self. Oddly enough, on his way home, he stray
ed out of the direct road into Ayr, where he met
with Burns at public house, and some boon
companions set the poet errant and the poet res
ident (whose fame was then unmade) to try their
strength in match of verse making. Gan cpl
gram" was the subject chosen, because as An
drew internally argued, '"it is the shortest of all
POEMS" In compliment 10 him, the company re-
solved thathis own merits shouldsupply the theme.
He commenced
sin seventeen hundred threty nine;"
but beyond this, after repeated attempts he was
unable to advance. The second line was the
Rubicon he could not pass. AT last when An
drew Horner reluctantly admitted that he was
not quite in the vein, the pen, ink, and paper
were handed to his antagonist. BY him they
were rejected, for he instantly gave the follow
ing uirG Uoce--
sin seventeen hundred thretty nine,
The dell gat stuff to maxi swine,
And put it in a corner;
But shortly after changed his plan,
Made it to something like man,
And called it Andrew Hornern
The subject of this singing stanza had the good
sense not to be offended with its satire, cheer
fully paid the wager, set to for nights revelry
with his new friends and thrust his poems be-
tween the bars the gate, when "the sma' hours
came on to four In the morning. As his poetic
rival then kindly rolled up the hearth-rug in a
quiet cornerof the room, to serve as pillow for
for the vanquished rhymester--then literally a
carpet knight-the old man, better prophet than
poet, exclaimed, "Hoot, man, but yen be grea
poet yetw'

Fashion rules the world, and a most tyrannical
mistress she is-compelling people to submit TO
the most inconvenient things imaginable for fash
ions sake.
She pnches ourfeet withtight shoes, or clothes
us with tight neck handkerchief, Or squeezes
the breath outofour body by tight lacing.
She makes people sit up by night, when they
ought to be in bed, and keeps them in bed in the
morning when they ought to be up and doing.
She makes it vulgar to wait on ones self,
and gentecl TO live idle and useless.
She makes people visit when they would drather
stay at home, eat when they are not hungry, and
drink when they are not thirsty
She evades our pleasures and interrupts our
business.
