Sources or Moral Strength

What is radically false can give no
strength. Women have a great deal OF
modestS delicacy, and feminine refinement,
but they are not taught the principles from
which these ought to spring as natural fruits.
Certain qualities are praised, but il is like
children who make a garden by sticking
full-blown flowers into the ground and ex-
pecting them to keep their bloom. Those
who Instruct them do not go to the real
principle which shall teach them 10 discern
right from wrong. nor give them any strong
truths BY which TO guide their steps amones:
the tsmPtationz and 'delusions which BEST
them; therefore we find that ell the talk
they have heard about graceful modesty'
and "Iemale delicacy" does not enable them
to stand against the stern realities Of strong
temptation; propriey carmot swallow up
passioa.-The Hal. Sissers.

Prof Ssnylh was waiting one morning
FOR him IN his anle-loom, and happened TO
cast his eyes ON table that stood IN the
middle OF the room, covered with manu-.
scripts, plays, pamphlets, and papers oil
every description. As he proceeded to tun-
bic them over and look at their subscrip-
ions, he observed thai most OF the letters
were unopened, and that some Of them had
.coronets on the seal. He remarked 10 Mr..
Wesley, the treasurer Of DIury Lane, who
was sitting by the FIRE. having also for
long time danced attendance, that Mr..
Sheridan treated all alike, wafer or coronet,
pauper or peer, the letters seemed equally
unopened. "Just so. was the treasurer's
reply: "indeed, lasf winter was occupy
ing myself much as you are doing, and for
the same reason, and what should see
among these letters but one from myself.

history, sir, was, that had received a note
from Mr.. Sheridan, dated Bath, and head

the meantime, | suppose some one had Civ

my letter, and would have continued TO lie,

down stairs, telling the story to his valet
Edwards, suggesting TO him to lock after the
letters; to which,he rsplied-"What can

OsfynlK Music.

In accompanying these songs, and also
on the occasion Of the religious solemnities,
which shall be more particularly mentioned
lower down, the Ostyaks make use of two
kinds OF stringed instruments, invented by
themselves at some remote period. One OF
these is shaped like a boat with five strings,
and is called dombra; which furnishes
another remarkable proof Of the relation
ship of the Ostyaks to the Maiars, for the
latter have at the present day precisely
similar instrument, 10 which they give the
name Of tombora. The other Ostyak in
strument, which is larger than the dombra,
and has eight strings, bears the name ntir,l.,
ista y'lih khotuing-an expression which
the Russians interpret. not improperly, by
the word lebed, "a swan, iorsueh, in fact,
is the meaning Of the last term OF the Os-
yak denomination. 1t is obvious that In
this instance, the Ostyaks have had in view
the well.known story of the singing Of the
swan, which is by no means without foun.
dation, for the notes occasionally uttered by
the cygnus olor, when in state OF freedom.
and particularly during the spring, are in
fact most beautifully clear and loud; and
that this bird, when wounded, pours forth
its last breath in such notes, is now known
for certain. The popular songs of the Rus

/ is even likely that the name OF one of the

rom the word gus, (goose,) in a name,

A burning sky is Ger me,
The sands beneath me glow,
Asonward. onward YEARLY,
In the saltry morn 1 60.
From the dusty path there opens,
Eastward, an unknown way;
Above its winnings, pleasantly,
The woodland branches play.
A silvery brook comes stealing
From the shadow Of its trees,
Where slender herbs of the forest stOoP
Before the entering breeze.
Along those pleasant windings

Where the shade is cool, and the dew Of
night
Is not yet dried away.

Oh, whittier dost thou lead,
Wandering by grassy orchard grounds
Or by the open mesdf
Goest thou by nesting cottage1
Goest thou by stately hall,
Where the broad elm droops. leafy dome,
And woodbines faunt the WALL
By sleeps where children gather
Flowers Of the yet fresh year,
By lonely walks where lovers stray
Till the tender star appear
OR haply dOst thou linger
On barren plains and bare;
Or chamber the bold mountain side,
Into the thinner ART
Where they who journey upward
Walk in weary track,
And of upon the shady vale
With longing eyes look back

And, listening 10 the sound,

Breasting the pebbly bound.
