have often had occasion To remark the for
titude with which women sustain the most over
whelming reycrses of fortitude. Those disasters
which break down the spirit of man, and pros
trate him in the dust, seem to call forth all the
energies of the softer sex, and give such intre-
pidity and elevation TO their character, that at
times it approaches to sublimity Nothing can
be more touching, than to behold soft and ten
der female, who had been all weakness and de-
pendenee, and alive to- every trivial roughness,
while treading the prosperous paths of life, sud
denly rising in mental force to be the comforter
and supporter of her husband under misfortunes,
and abiding, with unshrinking frmness, the bitter
est blasts of adversely.
AS the vine, which has long twined IFS grace
ful foliage abont the oak, and been lifted by il
into sunshine, will, when the hardy giant is rifed
by the thunderbot, cling round it with its caressing
tendrils, and bind up its shattered boughs; so is
it beautifully ordered by Providence, that woma n,
who is the mere dependent and ornament of ma II
in his happier hours, should be his stay and So
lace when smitten with sudden calamity; win
ding herself into the rugged recesses Of his ma
ture, tenderly supporting the dropping head, and
binding up the broken heart
Twas once congratulating friend, who had
around HIM blooming family, knit together in
the strongest affection. 4 can wish you no bet
ter lot said he with enthusiasm, 'than to have a
wife and children. If you are prosperous, there
they are 10 share your prosperity; if otherwise,
they are there TO comfort you.'-And, indeed, |
have observed that married man falling into
misfortune, is more apt to retrieve his situation
in the world than single one; partly, because
he is more stimulated to exertion by the neces-
sites ofthe helpless and beloved beings who de-
pend upon him for subsistence; but chiefly, be-
cause his spirits are soothed and relieved by do
mestic endearments, and his sclErcspect kept a.
live by finding, that though all abroad is darkness
and humiliation, yet there is still a lttlo world
Of love at home, of which he is the monarch
Whereas, single man is apt to run to waste and
selfnoglect; 10 fancy himself lonely and aban-
ed, and his heart TO fall to ruin, like some dcser-
fed mansion, for want Of an inhabitant.
These observations call to mind domestic
story, of which was witness. My intimate
friend, Leslie, had married beautiful and ac-
complished girl, who had been brought up in the
midst of fashionable life She had, tits true, no
fortune, but that Of my friend was ample; and he
delighted in the anticipation Of indugng her in

The Princeton.

The Princeton.
The Princeton sailed;--
twas with joyous crowd:
But, oh that ship returning,
Was filed with wailing loud.
Toll for the dead!
The talented and brave!
Who rose up from the banquet
To step into the grave.
The laugh went round;
The wine was on the lip;
Another guest was coming
Stern Death was on the ship.
The cry was, ''Now
A gun for Washington!
One to our matchless chieftain !'-
And all stood round the gun.
Twas fred-oh, Cob!
Thick darkness fell on all;
And great Jehovah's thunder
Seem'd on the deck to fall.
The gun had burst
In fragments round had flown,
And Death, with blood was stated;
1t ran in torrents down.
Toll for the dead!
Crush'd by the whirling brand,
The loved the best the bravest
The flow'r of all the land!
Toll for the dead!
They laid them side by side
And spread the flag above them
For which they lived and died.
Land of the great,
Hang down thy wilow'd head;
Your Upshur-Gi -Gilmer--Kennon--
Were Numbered with the dead
Mourn for the lost,
Snatch'd thus from friends away;
And for the heart of woman,
So bruis'd that dreadful day.
Bathed with the blood
Ofhusband, friend and sire;
She's walking through the furnace,
The seven times heated fire.
Weep, woman! weep!
But on the lord take hold;
He'll bring you from the burning
AS were the Three ofold.
Pause, nation! pause!
And cease your bitter strife;
In death we all are standing,
Though in the midst of life.
