Heigh-ho! for a husliand r—heigh ho!
There's danger in loner delay!
Shall I never again have a beau?
Will nobody marry 111, pray ?
I begin to feel strange, I deolare
With beauty my prospects wiil fade!
I'd give istysdi .gyp to despair
111 thought I should die an old maid!
I once cut the b,utix in a buff— •
I. thou;:ht it e sin and a shame '
'That no one had emu;;11
TO ask me to nit, r my name!
So I turned up my no at the short,
And rolled Up my , ey,r, at the tall ;
But tken I jt.st did it in sport,
And now I've no lover at all!
These men are the plague of my life!
'Tis hard from so many to choose!
Should one of them wish for a wife,
• Could I have the heart to refits,'
I don't know—for none have pr,

Ye sinews of a state,
Your nation's pride and boast,
Whose glory crowns the hills,
And guards her native coast,
You are her wealth in peace,
Her vital breath ye are,
And when the belts of death are burl'd
Ye are the shields in war!
By the eterfal sword,
'Postern browed Justice given;
By freedom's holy self,

Strong monuments crier;
In record of your praise ;
Transmitting down your names
To men of who' days.
Proclaim it to the world
Your us . ..fulness and woi tit ;
Speak cut with trumpet tongue,
Ye mighty men of earth!
Was not the soil ye tread
Won by your fathers' blood ?
Then on oppression's self,
Roll back oppression's flood!.

Old Birch who taught the village school,
Wedded a maid of homespun habit;
lle NV,S ,tubborn as a mule,
And she as playful as a rabbit.
Poor Kate had scarce become a wife,
Before her husband sought to make her
The pink of country-polished life,
And prim and formal as a quaker.
One day the tutor went abroad,
And simple Kitty sadly missed him ;
When he returned, behind her lord
She slowly stole mod fondly kiss',' him!
The husband's auger rose!—aud red
And white his face alternate grew!
"Less freedom, ma'am!"—Kate sighed and
said,
" Oh, dear I didn't know 'twos you f,"
There are kur things that affects a man's
spirits ; a dull day, an empty pis:ket, being

From the Stu. ay Mercury.
Short Patent Sea•anon.
At the rrquest of a subscriber to the
Sunday Mercury in Alabama, A. will
preach front this text :
I'o love is p iinful, that is true—
Not to love is p.ontul too ;
But oh! it gives the greatest pain
To lur e aura nut be loved again.
My hi , arers—l love to preach about
love; for love furies a rosy wreath for
the heart, in which the green leaves of
friendship, the flowers of affection, and
a few thorns of pain are entwined, just
fur the sake of variety. It is the pre
cement that ;inheres seal to sod—
the lbw] olangels iu heaven, and a stim
ulant to mortals on earth. It smoothes
down the asperities of human nature—
lilies the hrei,t with the velvet of svtupa•
thy—and gives a silken coating to the
rough exterior ef humanity. To love ar
dently, deeply, devotedly, I acknowedge
is sometimes painful; n,vertheleas it is
a pleasant pain, attended with some de—
li;Othul sensations. It is a hind of in
ward itching, which riqufres the continual
exercise of scratching, and yet the ireins
lion is never allayed. The more we
I scratch, the more we itch—and imthilig
hut matrinniny can servo as an effectual
remedy—an i'. t, hi too many instances,
is far worse • i.t,oa,e.
My friend,--el o painful.
To h.tec all your ft -. eebed lit
the dark sepulchre ef -, and our
hopes lust in the cold 1„:.. •hru
py, is about as let as b.
den,geon, to be fed with the fr4iwnts•l
critter follies. The light of love,
admitted through the windows of the
heart, warms and nourishes the soil of the
sutd—causes the buds of benevolence to
expand, and the capsules of charity to be
filled with the ripe seeds of sympathy.—
"Without the genial intim-nee of love the
bosom freezes, and becomes its barren as
a goose poster iu wintei. if a flower
chanzes to [demo, it is destitute of fra•
;ranee; or, it it have any, it Witql's its
sweetness• a. the :,Olf`t
sett air. To be without love is like being
and a sun at mid tiny. The heart that
never laves is as hard as a 'trick bar, as in
sensible as a pickled clam to all t h e finer
feelings, and a stranger to every delights
fill emotion. An old bachelor, my friends,
whose heart is never warmed with
tion, is a miserable nobody in the world.
lie is as cold blooded as a turtle, awl
limits as melancholy as a elem. His hopes
die as soon as they begin to pinfeather—
there is no more s.ntiment in his soul titan
there is illogic in it,,corn stalk
thoughts are wrapped up in the shroud of
self--he knows r,ot .the pleasures atten
dant on the sexual anialgainatien or souls
—his abode is fixed in the military wild of
celibacy, where all is cheer less;comfort-
I less and dreary. There he tires andl
I there he dies, unlionored and unwept; aid
1 when he is finally carried away by the
current of time, we can only say,'There
I goes another parcel of rubifish into the
I gulf of eternity!
My hearers—it is painful to love, and
painful not to love—painful anyhow you
can fix it; but oh! it is excruciating pain
to love and not have it reciprocated; To f
go to an extravagant outlay of affection, I
and 'then have it all wasted, or sent homel
as sour as swill, is enough to make a man
tear his shirt and tread on his own corns.
It's manslaughter for a girl to spurn a
youngohap's love, when she knows that
by so doing she will drive the pule. fellow
Ito destruction in a considerable of a hur
ry. It's murder in the first degree--it's
cruelty to helpless animals--it's worse
than skinning eels alive; and any female
guilty of such a wanton act, ought to be
courted by fiends during her liletime, and
wedded to the devil at last, When any
of you, my young male friends, get so tan
gled up with the object of your loves that
you don't hardly know to wh . ch gender
you belong:, you know very well that yon
care a precious little who, what or how
you are so long as you remain io such a
happy, pleasing perplexity ; but let the
least breeze or jealousy, doubt or disap
lointinept blow, you straighten right out,
ike a dead frog. Yen:• bosoms till up
with buttermilk and bitter meditations--
your stomachs with bile, and your hoods
with suicidal ideas. You grow saturnine
—get sick—neglect your business—and
that perhaps, to wind up the whole, ad
mit the coatimin atmosphere into your
gizzards with a dirk knife, or ventilate
your brains' cells with a pistol. Oh! an•
reciprocated love has led the jaws ill Death
with many a precious 'num.l or humanity;
and Cupid's arrow, which issaidlo tickle
while it Wounds, sometimes tickles pretty
(mint:tided hard. Its head is often
pfd in poison, and wo betake the poor .;
victim it pierces: I dim't know, myself,
,xactly how a fellow feels when he loves •
almost to destruction, and then suddenly • i
sees his adored one flirting with, or wed-I
dad to another; but I suppose Its lads at I

under his shirt, and his bosom ready to
collapse. Ile most endure the torment;
of . the damned, for a titne at least , utp4
the only way in It inch he can heal his
wounds, is to plaster them over with the
salve or forgetfulness, and swallow this

PAy dear friends-11 you were all to
love one another, in a moderate hot sin
cere chi istianlike way, von mi;llit be sure
of being loved, not only by y•our sister,
woman and your brother, inan, but also
by your Father, God. Then would
peace, harmony, and happiness prevail up
on earth, and joy ainotig the angels of
heaven. Then would our thorn covered
ways be turned to flowery lawns—then
would the rank weeds of hatred put forth
the sweet blossoms of friendship—and
then might we all partake of die pleasures
of love unpoisoned by p So mute it
be: Dow,
2itly or Compensation.
A. certain writer, (we have fin'g,•ottcn
who,) has said, that there is a niwistrous
inequality in the wages of the different
occupations in society. Ile is right.—
There is ton touch difrerence in the a
mount or payment received ler the differ
ent kinds of labor, which mankind perform
for one another. It is not graduated
right, and it ls• one great cause of ih e
evils which arise from the unequal distri
bution of this world's g00d , ,, !lich we

evils, some knevolent people have !Teem
mended a uentounity of goods. or Focie•
lies in winch all the property, mid all the
frui4 and profits of labor sfiould be coin

if the rates of payment for labor conlit Ite
equal. A into comes into your

worthy yeung woman, ol gond talents and
education, prudent, discre e t, Ni l
one in vrhom all have confidence, is em
ployed to teach a school for children.
Parents are anxious to put their children
under her care. She earns lint twelve
~dollars per month and •board. She toils
constantly and faithfully and receives no
particulars honors, nor any further Ml
sideration than payment of wages.
Fanny Eisler, a French girl, c-u nes into
the country :Ind proclaims her unrivalled
feats in dancing. Site dresses indecently
and kicks up her list is drearlial agony
The people are thrown into e i ,i'M e y.
call her divine, and consider it ait hotior •
to pull the horses out of th.t cat and
put themselves into the liaru,s—a
team of (taws. She is honored and ca
cussed. She leaves the country in a year
or two, with twenty thousand dollars in
her purse.
Here is an inequality midi a vengeance.

winds and loaded with i fiches.
Nor is the inequality any the less antom:
those of the same callin; and occumoiim.
We have noticed this rartieularly in th ,
ministerial profession. o r , in:in
settled in a parish where the peopk!
rich and luxurious. lie preaches each
Sunday to a full fed, sleepy congregation,
and they pay him a fat salary and keep
him above the privations of poverty or the
fear - of beggary. Another, of equally
good talents is settled in another parish,
where the people are not so rich, where,
in addition to the pulpit duties, he haw to
be on the alert to prevent as well as cote
moral evils, where he has to act as advi
ser, comforter, friend, fuller end protec
tor; and yet receives hardly enough to
feed and clothe himself and faintly de.
cently. AVG might follow the same com
parison throughout the walks of lila.—
There appears to be something wrong in
these things ;—we mention them at facts,
and end as me began. There is a coon
strolls inequality of emnpens,,tion received
for the same amount of la',or among man
