A CHAPTER ON FOOLS.
I saw a man somo . roars ago,
Who built his house upon
The frozen bosom of a lako
lk Heath a winter's sun,
Thought I, that man's a noble fool,
But greater fool is he
Who puts his faith in woman's love,
And lauds hor constancy.
I saw :a yotcth onto take a spade,
And labour all • tho day
In throwingsunshinct in thci shads
Upon a stack °fluty,
Thought I, that youth's a noble fool; . 64
But greater fool is ho
Who thinks he'll do his stomach good
By drinking constantly.
A man; I've often heard it told,
%Vhon I stood on boy's legs,
Once killed a noble goose to get
At all her golden eggs.
Thought I, ho was a monstrous fool.
But greater fool is be
Who stakes his little all for one
Chance in a lottery.
I saw a maid 'once put her thumb
Upon a red hot coal,
To• see if it would burn or no,
It did—upon my soul!'
Thought I, that maid's a noble fool,
But greater fool is she
Who once could think of marrying
So groat a fool as me. •
THE REPOSITORY.
REMORSE--A FRAGMENT.
Noweapon can such deadly wounds impart
As conscience, roused, inflicts upon the heart
"PosTniox," _dried a feeble but SNWCOt. voice,
"turn to your right when you have ascended the
hill, and etop, as I intend to'walk up the lane."
The postilion obeyed the command, and with
more gentleness than is often to be mot with in his
station, opened the chaise door, and, having first
given his hand to her female attendant to alight,
assisted a pale and languid, but still eminently
beauiiful wonnirOvliose trembling limbs seemed
scarcely equal to the task of supporting her atten
uated frame.
"Bo so good As to remain here until I return,"
said the lady, who leaning on the arm of her at
tendant, proceeded through the leafy lane, the
branches of whose verdant boundaries were ani
mate by a thousand - warbling birds sondi4ig forth
their notes of joy. But ill did those gay notes ac
cord with-the feolings of her who traced this rural
walk, every turn of which recalled bitter remem
brances.
On reaching the gate that opened into the plea
sure-grounds of Clairville. the stranger was oblig
ed to pause and take breath, in order to regain
some degree of composure before she could enter it.
There are some Objects and incidents, which,
though comparatively trilling, have a powerful -*-
fbct on the feelings, and this the unknown e. ',e
rieneed when pressing the secret spring, of to
gate, which readily yVded to her touch, wi i a
hurried but tottering pace,she entered the grounds.
Here, feeling the presence of her attendant a re
straint—who, though an Italian utterly ignorant
of English, as also of the early history of her mis
tress,was yet observant of her visible emotion, and
affectionately axious to soothe it—she desired her
to remain at the gate until her return. In vain
Francesca urged that the languid frame of her dear
lacil c was unequal to support the exertion of walk
ing itithout the assistance of her arm; with a firm
but lc ind.manner her mistress declared her inten
tion of proceeding alone.
It
_was ten years since the feet of the wanderer
had pressed the velvet turf over which they now
slowly bent their course. She was then glolving
with youth and health; happy, and dispensing
happiness around; but alas! Love, guilty Love !
spread his bandage over her eyes, blinded her to
the fatal realitiee of the . abyss into which he was'
about to plungenti, in honied accents,
whispered in her infatuated ear a thousand bland
promises of blis's to come. How wore those pre:
liaises performed? and what was she now?—She
riaturnicTfo this once cherished spot with a mind
torn by remorse; and a form bowed eltiwn by dia.
ease. She returned wit the internal conviction
that death had laid his icy grasp on her heart, and
that a few days at Most, if not a few hours, must
terminate her existence. But this conviction, far
from giving her pain, was regarded by her as a
source of consolation; and this last earthly indul
gence—that ofviewing the abode of her children
—she did not feel herself worthy of enjoying, un.
til conscious that her hours were numbered.
She proceeded through the beautiful grounds,
every mazy path and graceful bend of which was
familiar to her, as if seen the day before. Many
of the improvements suggested by, hor taste, and
preserved with cafe, broil& back heartsick
ening recollections of love and confidence, repaid
with deception and• ingratitude; anil though sup
ported by the consolations of religion, which led
her humbly to hope that her remorse and penitenCe
had been accepted by Him: who has promised mer
cy to the repentant sinner; yet her heart shrunk
within her, as memory presented her with the re
view Ocher transgressions, and she almost feared
to hope for pardon.
When she had reached a point of the grounds
that commanded a pfospect. of the house, how
wore her feelings excited by a view of that well
known, well remembered scene! Every • thing
worn the same appearance as when that mansion
owned her for its mistress; the house had still the
same aspect of substantial grandure • and repose,
and the level lawn the same velvet texture, and
the trees, shrubs, and flowers, the same blooming
freshness, as when she daily beheld their beauties.
She, she alone was. changed. Timer_ was, that .
those doors would have been opened wide to re.
ceive her, and that her presence would have dis.,
pensod joy and pleasure to every individual
noath that roof; while now, - her very name would
exoite :only painful emotions, and its sounds must
be there heard no more. Aniiiiier bora the title
she once was proud to bear, supplying the place
she had abandoned, and worthily discharging the
duties ste had left uhperformed..
She gazetren the windows of the apartment in
which she first became , a mother, and all the tide
of tenderness bpi* 4uiart now
cgme•bacit.to her, peisoriml._ with the bitter eon
seiousness ofhow she had.futfilgil a Mother's part.
Thole ehildmi dearer to her than the liki-drops

struction that it should have been her blissful task
to have given them, and never, and never must
she hope 10 clasp them to her agonized heart. •
At this moment she saw the door of the house
open, and a lady leaning on Ihe arms of a gentle
man crossed the lawn ; ho pressed the hand that
reposed on his arm gently between his and raised
it to his lips, while his fair companion placed her
other hand on his with all the tender confidenep of
affection. « In this apparently happy couple the
agonized unknown recognized him whom she once
joyed to call husband, the father of her chihfren,
the partner whom. she had betrayed and deserted;
and her, whom he had chosen for • her successor,
who now bore the name she once answered to, and
who was now discharging the duties she had vie.
la tale , Religion and repentance had- in her so
conquered the selfishness of human nature, that
after the first pang, and it was a bitter one, had
passed away, she returned thanks with heartfelt
fervour to the Author of good, that it was permit
• ted her to sea him, whose repose she feared she
had fOr ever destroyed, enjoying the-happiness he
so well merited; and ardent was the prayer she
offered up, that a long continuance of it might be
his lot, arid that his present partner might repay
him for all the_pain caused by he.r misconduct.
She now turned into a shady walk, anxious to
regain the support of her attendant's .arm, which
she felt her exhausted frame required, when the
sounds of approaching voices warned her to con.
evil herself. Scarcely had she - retired behind the
shade of a luxuriant mass of laurels, when a youth
fill group drew near, the very sight of whom agi
tated her almost to filinting, and sent the blood
back to or heart with a violouce that threatened
instant annihilation. -
The group consisted of two lovely girls, their
governess, and a bloc:truing youth, on whom the
two . girls leant. Every turn of their healthful and
beautiful countenances was expressive ofjoy and
health ; and their elastic and buoyant steps scorn
ed scarcely to touch the turf, as, arm linked in
arm, they passed along. The youngest, a rosy
checked girl of eleven. years old, begged her com
panions to pause while she examined a bird's nest
which she said she feared the parent-bird had for
saken ; and this gave the heart-stricken mother,
for those were the children oftho unknown, an
opportunity ofregarding the treasures her soul
yearned to embrace. How did her bosom thr ')
at beholding those dear faces—so often presented
to her in her:troubled dreams!—Alas! they were
now near her—she might, by extending her hand,
touch them—she could almost feel their balmy
breath fan her feverish cheek. and yet it was denied
her to approach them. All the pangs of matern
al affection struck on her heart; her brain grow
giddy, her respiration became oppressed, and, urg
ed by all the frenzy of a' distracted mother, she
was on the point of rushing from her conceal
ment, and prostrating herself before her children.
But this natural though selfish impulse was quick.
ly subdued, when a moment's reflection whisper
ed to her, will you purchase your own ternfirrifaTy
gratification at the expense of those dear beings
whom. you have so deeply injured? Will you
plant in their innocent breasts an, impression bit.
ter, and indelible? The Mother triumphed over
the Woman, and, trernblini with emotion, she
prayed that those cherished object' might pass
from her view, while yet she had strength and
courage to enable her to preserve in her self:denial.
This moment the little girl exclaimed, "Ah!
y fears were too true, the cruel bird has desert.
ed her nest, and hero are the poor little ones near
ly dead! What shall wo do with thorn?"
"Let us carry them to our dear mamma," said
the elder girl; "she will be sure to take care of
them, as she says we should always pity and pro
tect the helpless and forsaken."
The words of the children struck daggers to the
heart of their wretched mother. For a moment
she struggled against the blow, and, making a last
effort, tried to roach the spot whore she had left
her attendant ; but nature was exhausted, and she
had only tottered a few paces, when, uttering a
groan of anguish, she fell to the earth bereft of
life, just as Francesca arrived to see her unhappy
, mistress breathe her last sigh.

MONTREAL MARKET.--IMPQRTANT.—
Wo havo been favOrini with the
\ axtrerot of a h lttor from *oiler*. 'dalos
to their correspondent in this city, dated Montreal,
16th inst. It is &Oper to add, that if the infon
mation which it conveys is of great proispective
importance to grain, and our growers and dealers
in this state, it comes from a honk) enjoying un
doubted sources of information.—Bolt. l'at.
"Wo expect to witness and have.some little
share of the largest year's business ever done in
Montreal. Wo soon expect to hear that a new
act, by the British Parliament, will 'edinit United
States's wheat and other grains, rye flour &.corn
meal, into Canada, for consumption, and export to
any quarter, free of duty; and also U. States wheat
flour lin export to the British West Indies, free.
of duty. And indeed we should not be surprised,
and such a thing is intimated as not improbable,
that all the above named articles, including wheat
flour will be admitted free, not only for consump
tion, but for exportation to all quarters, .even to
England, as colonial, and on the same terms as if
onr own and manullictured in the colonies. If
this should prove correct, you will not, we appre
hend, have gained so much by getting the British
West India ports opened to yon direct, and the re
venue of your great western canal will somewhat
suffer."

M.I.,NGOLD WURZEL.
The advantages of mangold wurzel are
these:
It is more sure to plant, being very
liable to the fly or grub; it will prod - . •
'weight; it is ofF the land earlier;
as a change of fallow crop, whe 'he land
is tired of turnips; it.will grow on land where
turnips cannot be raised; it is better spring
food. On the other Land, in fiivor of Swe
'dish turnips it may be - Vid, that the weed
ing and singling out are less expensive; there
is rather- more time for fallowing in the
spring; the succeeding crop is better than
after mtngold wurzel. Perhaps cattle feed
best on Swedish turnips when they are used
alone. It must, however, lie remarked,
that these last two evidences in favor of
Swedish turnips is not fully proved, and on
ly partially supported. In conclusion, per
haps two observations may be of use. 'First,
that the very early season at which man
gold vvurzel should be sown renders it highly
expedient that the land should be made as
clean as possible in the autumn, so that a
few days` inthe spring may be sufficient to
get it in a proper state for the reception of
the seed. Secondly, that wet seasons d 6
not.suit nuingold wurzel so well as dry: and,
consequently, for the last two years, the
Swedish turnips have been the more valua
ble-- crop of the two.

`_____ We learnthat i he-Maryland-Cominission

evening last from their mission to Harris
burg. As they - have to make a - report of
their proceedings to the Legislature of Ma

get any thing authentic and formal from
them—but we understand that the Commis
sioners have stated in their conversation,'
that they relied chiefly in their negotiation
upon the compact existing between th.
states in relation toThe free navigation ofthe
Susquehanna, and referred to the correspon
dence between the two State goverrnents,
subsequent to that time, to illustrate the
views entertained by both States.
We hear that the Committee ofPentisyl

against which the Commissioners intend a

. The period at which the',Cointriissioners
arrived at Harrisburg, being noir the close
of the Session, was in some degree adverse
to a full investigation of the subject, although
it Was hardly to be expected that there

on the part of Pennsylvania, except in the

"DISTRESSING .—We were informed
a few days since, by a gentleman traveller,
from the west that during tlie severe weath
er, a_man about 45 years of ago, his.wik;
six children, and four horses, were frozen
to death on the great prairie,, in
When discovered, the-mother lay—teith — er .
small child in her arms—jive other children
around her—the father, ivith an axe and
flint in his hands, as if he had been trying
to strilce , •fire—aTart of his' wagon was cut
into small .pieces for kindliiig, and all the
horses in a heep f stiff in their. harness. The
tame of the unfortunate family, or where
they, were from, was not ascertained when
our informant passed along." •
All men .feel—there is not a heart that
God has formed, that does not melt M . the
contemplatioti of such a scene as the one
abovo recorded. But where is the father
or mother who looks out upon the group in
the great prairie, and does not feel a swell
ing of the heart, to Iyhich tears are but a
momentary relief. 'There is no gift of poe.
heighten that scene—fancy can lend no
or to the picture—nature, truth, the dread
realities, have - done more than ingenuity
would have dared to invent or record.
The MOTHER—and let those whose hearts
have almostbutit while watching the expir,
inn anguish of a child—who have•seen the
convulsion of death distort the lip of the lit ,
tle one, and felt that life had lost its charms--
let them send their thoughts to the prairie of
the west, and see the mother gazing with .
unutterable despair,-as one by one, the five
children around her ceased to breathe—let
them imagine the anguish with which
she_ turned from the distortion of the visage
upon which the cold bad fixed with indeli.
able . impress, the last working of deaths
agony. Ono tie yet bound her to hope and
she pressed the infant to her bosom, haply
one of all might be saved in such a covert:
but the source whence the nursling was to
draw its heat, was cold, the "sympathetic
fount," whence had issued the streams ofite
nourishment, was frozen, and the little one's
life chilled away. Yet, even in death the
mother was evident—the' infarct wns yet on

orhis flock. In peril and distress, the whole
had gathered for sympathy around the me-
ther; and father had sought in vain to elicit
one spark-from the steel, to bring to life his
expiring family: but the power to effect it had
failed, even a husband's and father's love
could not call up the departed energies, and

the beasts of burthen, ceased to exist, dt lay
