A CHAT WITH READERS, CoRRE.PoN- |
DENTS, &c.-The two poetlcal compost
tons in this weeks paper. are sweet and
beautiful, and from them alone, one would
know the writers possessed good hearts as
well as good minds. We are thankful to
our friends for them, and hope 10 hear
from them often.
UOn the last page there is poetical
article, and an interesting account OF
geographical phenomenon. The first page
is filled, we fancy, with well selected ar
ticles.
Bad Penmamship.-
81 once did hold it as our statists do,
A baseness to write fair.'-Hamltt.
Judging from some Of the manuscript
on our table, we have those IN the
present day, who hold the same notion
Hamlet did. There is among some per-
sons an impression, that great men write
miserable scrawls, and they affect to mi
tate them in this particular. bu. fail
to do so in anything else. Fudge! Gen
tlemen; great men write well and plainly,
and you will be considerably greater, in
our opinion at least, If you do the same.
HrA communication from Sassafras
Neck, will appear next week.
T'Woman Her Position andSphere.'
Under the above title we have received
an excellent Essay, which will be printed
mex, week. The ladies will find in the

THE CouNrRy.-A brave struggle the
Spring has had, with the retiring forces Of
Winter, and at last it has obtained the
mastery. 1t has sat on its throne uneaslly,
for the frosts have harassed it till its reign
is well-nIgh ended; still, it has found OPP
portunry to throw around over field and
forest, meadow and hill, rich robes of TO
liage and sweet and beautiful flowers, and
to the Summer it will bequeath its usual
glorious legacy.
Good Reader Of The Wing! do your
duties confine you in the house, the store,
the workshop, the office, within doors in
any capacity make haste to gain an hour
to wander by the way-sde, by the river,
IN the field or the wood, there among
budding boughs, and sprlnging grass, and
birds and bloom, and fresh and dallying
breezes, health will come, and buoyancy
of spirit, and pleasant thoughts, and thank
tulness to God, and life will seem to be
renewed. Go forth at the rising OF the
sun, and be happy for the day; or be dill
gent and find leisure IN the calm evening
to steal away on quiet stroll from con-
finemcnt or toll.

seclusion, awaiting for the warm weather.
The Robin troupe are giving matinee scre-
nades with much success. The beautiful
