GARRICK AND PREVILLE.
When Garrick was in France, he made
a short excursion from the capital with the
celebrated Parisian performer, Preville.

his horse in a summers evening to go
to his box in the country.” He immediate-

intoxication. He called to his servant, that
the sun and the fields were turning round
him ; whipped and spirred his horse until
the animal reared and wheeled in every di-

feet seemed incapable of resting in the stir-
rups; the bridle dropped from his hand ;
and he appeared to have lost the use of his
faculties. Finally he fell from his horse in
such a death-like manner, that Preville gave
an involuntary cry of hotrour, and his ter-
rour greatly increased when he found that
his friend made no answer to his questions.

his usual demeanour, the French actor ex-

to embrace his master, and thank him for

THE HONEY MOON:
A Song.
When Mary first my love inspired,
1 thought her smiles the height of bliss,
:
So tender was my Mary's love,
For me was every gentle care ;
And pure the joy to me would prove,
Reflected from my charming fair.
And though four weeks had swiftly past,
Each gave improvement to the last,
And mutual love called down a boon
¥rom Heaven—a second Hower-Moon.
My Marv long has blcst my arms,
As good as gentle, and as kind,
Her cheek retains its wonted charms,
"And richer beauties grace her mind.
Kind heaven! O grant my fervent prayer,
These blessings unimpaired to share ;
‘While harmony’s unvaried tune,
Makes every month a Howgr-Moox,

laird of Cockpen, called by the nicknaming
manners of those times, ¢ Biythe Cockpen’.
He followed Charles to the Hague, and by
his skill in playing Scoteh tunes and his sa-
gacity and wit, much delighted his merry
monarch, Charles’ favorite tune was ‘Brose

went to bed and he w's awaked in the

wrote to court, but his letters were not re-
garded. Wearied and incensed he travel-
ied to London, and placed himself in all pub
lic places, thinking that the eye of his ma-
jesty might reach him. But he was never
noticed, and his mean garb did not suit the
rich laced and embroidered doublets of
court ; so ne was insulted and pushed from
the king’€ presence.
At length he attempted by cunning what
he could not accomplish by plain dealing.
He ingratiated himself with the king’s or-
ganist, who was so enraptured with Cock-
‘pen’s wit and powers of music, that he con-
sented to his request of playing on the or-
gan before the king at divine service. He
accordingly played with exquisite skill,yet
never attracted his majesty’s eye. But at
the close of service, instead of playing the
common tune used,he played up, ‘Brose and

REPUTATION.
Reputation cannot be too inviolably guar.
ded. The world is naturally censorious.
Even to claims on its approbation the most
dignified and deserving, it yields a reluctant
sanction ; and consigns to a rash infamy the
name which chance or imprudence has ren-
dered questionable. Nor is the prejudice
of character afrail or fugitive impression.
It is the foster child of envy ; It finds advoe
‘tates in all the jealousies of emulation, and
§s nourished into maturity by the self con-
soling fiend of undetected crime.
They certainly mistake the character of
mankind widely, who trust in after-profes-
sions of reformation, as passports to the for-
feited confidence of society. A theusand
deeds of honor and of justice ; a thousand
protestations of penitence, canscarce oblite-
rate the memory of a single crime. Extra-
vagant professions naturally induce suspi-
cion of incincerity. Repentance, to be gen-
uine, must be secluded. Mankind, there-
fore, view the crime inits utmost enormity
and extent; magnified by ignorance, and
exaggerated by envy ; but they witness not
the secret tears of expiation, nor listen to
the sighs of agonizing remorse B.
