"‘Vith sweetest tlow•ers divided. From carious gardens eiiii'd with care." (*.There is a b?nntifnl moral in the followinz ettu si on from the ev,r sweet muse of Mr 4. Siciount4r.T: Cil Ss I,AIVIIUG Al I) TIRE ANT. l'he Lady •litur at in the rose's heart, And smiled with pride and scorn, As ski sine a plain Brest Ant go by, tVith a heavy grain of corn,— So she drew the curtains of damask round, And adjmded her silken rest, Making her ;crass of a drop of dew That lay in the rose's breast. Then she laugh'd No loud that the Ant look'd up, And seeing her haughty face, Took nn more notice, lint Ira vell'd on At the Same imhr trims parer-- But a sudden blast of autumn came, And rudely swept the ground, And down the rose with the Lady Bug bent, And scatter'd its leaves around. Then the homeless Lady was much amaz'd, For she knew not where to go, And hoarse November's blast Had browrht with it rain nail snow: Her wings were chill'd and her feet were cold, And she wish'd for the Ant's warm cell, And what the did, in the wintry storm, Pm sure I cannot tell. But the careful Ant was in her Twat, \\ • iih her little ones 1., her Pule, She Inucht thorn all, like herself to toil, Nor mind the sneer of pride:— And I thoncht, AP I %Mint the close of day, Eating toy breiol mid It was IV kit, to WO! k null iniiiimre my time, Than he idle and t in <ilk EPOS! TO Y 'l' II I: THE B rit/IYL.I"D. rpon a stoma' and unfrequented hill side, grew R solitary rose tree. By it stole a 111H7.V pathway anionir myrtles and violets, which ti e straiiiier's footsteps had never pressed. It was in the strength of its matu rity, when a single hod burst Drum its top st branoh. This bud the summer beam wooed with daily firl lily , and the lice loved to nestle among its petals. The I rk stoop• ed his airy wing in passing it by day, and the mehtingale Snug to it ills S'ArPPtrt. nark, on the nearest brain•le, by night. But pride entered wit the heart of this queen of flowers. It shed a perfume alike on the fragrant blossom and the scentless her h.— It bowed over a homely violet, and smiled upon the unpretending, modest daisy. Thus the charity and benifyience ()la lovely ferrule are difiltsed alike on the humble and the high, the poor and the rich. The west wind was lilvt he to blow around it. But it turned aside from his dalliance, heeding not his whispers or his wooings.-- Other flowrets listened to his lures, and flut• tered to his giftha- They were wafted firs from the protecting spray, danced in gaiety for an hour, then flung, unsheltered, on the cold earth. Rememher, maiden, that the heart or her who heeds the flatterer's breath, shall be thus gaily wafted, wrung, withered, and tossed aside! Proudly the parent stem summoned all its energies to lift the head or its cherished ofrqpring, that it might partake bountifully of the benignant light, and the invigorating air—that it mi , ht be seen and admired.— The rose repaid this fondness with dutiful affection. Often at morning, did it distil the fragrant tear of grin itude, and at evening it rested its fair head on the stem, as a prat. tier's round cheek reposes on a parent's bo. 90111. The fame of its beauty attracted it son of pleasure. It won his admiration. Regard. Tess of the agony ofseverance, he snapped it from the stalk. While its bl , auty lasted, he proudly displayed it to the giddy and the heartless, who envied its possession. But allir from the nourishing stem, its form lan guished in one fleeting day, and its colour faded. Then it was cast, like a loathsome weed, beneath the feet of the multitude, to wither and perish there. Licentious profligate! that rose was my only beloved Lina! I cull the solitary,broken, bleeding stem! Beautiful Trait in a Young Girl. Some time after the horrible massacre which signalized the commencement of the French Rev,'lat ion, the contagerius example propagated nulrder and destruction even to the new world. One cannot remember with• out shuddering with horror that in order to put to death more quickly a multitude of men and women at once and without trial, they collected them in groups and fired up. on them several cannon loaded with cannon shot. An honest Creole of St. Domingo, who r kid committed no other crime than that 0 1 preserving the heritage of his flit hers, and of being rich, was of consequence inscribed upon the list of proscription; the wretches who decorated themselves with the names of patriots, in imbruing their hands in the blood of the most innocent citizen,denounced him as an enemy to the public welfare, and he was condemned to perish together with a number of the unfortunate. Happily tbr the old colonist, he was a fath er, and above all, of a little daughter, full of courage, tenderness and energy. 11 hen he was dragged from the bosom of his fitmily, his child resolutely followed him, and ro solved to share his destinies, however dread.' fill they might be. Placed on the first among the victims whom they were going to sacrifice, already the Creole had his eyes blindfolded and his arms tied: already the satelites of death ad• jested their murderous arms upon the unror. tunate, deprived of hope and ready to die. 0 happiness! 0 sentiment! what power is yours!. You anticipate the years of uncom mon persons won't) you animate with your divine fire! you lend them the foresight of the wise and the strength of men in their infancy. At the precise moment of the signal for the discharge of the artillery, n little girl comes running crying "My father, oh my father!" Vainly they tried to take her away from danger—vainly they threatened her— nothing ships her—nothing idtinudates her. She rushes towards her father; she attaches herself in his body, which she presses close ly with her little arms and waits a moment to perish with the author of her days. "0 my daughter, dear child, only sweet hope of thy wi eping mother," said her fa. ther, tremblin:z and melting into tears, "re. tire I entreat thee, I order thee." Oh! what an empire has virtue over souls most ferocious. This unexpected incident disconcerts thin commander of the massacre. Without doubt he was a father also. The voice of admiration, the cry of pity rose sud denly from his heart! Lle alleges a special pretext for delivering the Creole from death, and can:es him to he reconducted to prison with his child. A moment of delay is sonic times precious. The face of nfnirs having shortly changed the good father was relents. ad; since that happy day, he ceased not to relate,with the tenderest emotion the heroic action of his daughter, aged then only ten years. FnOM `..SI.TSrit , TIT N. C. WATCHSIAN II 000 D STORY. One of the I stories we know of. .ega. s I that of the Round Robins, as it in famil. is rly called in the lower circuits of North 1 1 Carolina, and owes its humor to the very fertile and cultivated mind of a lawyer who : iS still alive, hut in a distant IVestern State. All the lanye.s attrliding Court about the year 1810, boarded at the house of Mr. S—, who at the beginning of his life, as a publican, was assiduous, and provident,but riches multiplaal. and Itoniface became la• zy, crusty and parsimonious. His accom modations, as they are u ualiv called, from being the very best had by degrees genera. ted into the very worst in the whole coun try. This was borne with mutterings from time to time, until in n fit of desperation the w hole fratr?iaiity of lawyersot ft er mature de• liberation in (7 - ongress assembled, resolved to quit the house and go to another in the same village. The duty of anaouncing the separation was devolved upon the gentleman above specified; wlif,,heing somewhat struck with the mock importance the affair had as. sumed, wrote the following, and sent it to the' Landlord, signed with the names of all the decidents in a round ring below. A. DECLARATION. "When in the - course of human r:ronte becomes neeessary fl,r il half hungry, half fed, imposed on set of men, to dissolve the bands of Landlord and - hoarder, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind, requir• ed that they should declare the cause which have impelled thorn to the separation. We hold those truths to be self evident; that all men are created with mouths and bellies; and they are endowed by their crea tor with certain unalienable rights, among which is that no man shall be compelled to starve, out of mere compliance to a Land lord; and that every man has a right to fill his belly and wet his whistle with the best that's going. The history of the present Landlord of the Vi'hite Lion, is n history of repeated in. sults, exactions and injuries, all haying in direct object the establishment of absolute tyranny over their stomachs end throats.— To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. tie has refused to keep any thing to think but bull-fit.2,ed whiskey. Ile has refused to set upon his table for ditmer,any thing but turnip soup with a little hull beef and sourcrout, which are not wholesome and necessary for the public good. Ne has refused to let his only blink eyed Joe, put more than six grains of coffee to one gallon of water. Ile has turned loose a multitude of flies and swarms of bed hugs, to assail us in the peaceable hours ofthe night and eat out our substance. He has kept tip in our beds and bedsteads, standing armies of these merciless savages, with their scalping knives and tomahawks, whose rule of warfare is undistinguished do. st ruction. Ile has excited domestic insurrection a• mong 119, by getting drunk before breakfast and making his wife and servant so before dinner, whereby, there is often the devil to Pay• lie has waged cruel ‘vnr against nature herself, by feeding our horses with broom straw, and carrying them offto drink whore swine refused to wallow. He has protected ono eyed Joe in his vil lany, in the robbery of our jugs, by pretend• ing to give him a mock of trial,afier sharing wits] him the spoil. Ho has cut ol our trade with- foreign ports, and brought in his own bald-faced whiskey, when we had sent him to buy bet ter liquor abroad, and with a perfidy scarce ly paralleled in the most barbarous ages, he has been known to drink our foreign spirits, and fill up our bottles with his own dire po tions. Ile has imposed taxes upon us.to an enor mous amount against our consent, and with out any rule but hls own arbitrary will and pleasure. A landlord whose character is thus mark ed by every act which may define a tyrant and miser, is unfit to keep a boarding house for Cherokee Indians. Nor have we been wanting in our atten. lion to MN. 8., and Miss Sally. We have appealed to their native justice and magna nimity, we have conjured them to alter a state of things which would inevitably inter- rupt our connection and correspondence.--• They too have been deat to the voice jus tice. are therefore constrained to hold all three of theso parties alike inimical to our well being and regardlessofear comfort. We therefore, make this Solemn declara- tion of our final separation from our former landlord, and east our defiance into his teeth. FROM TUE NEW-BERLIN BTA To whom it allay C Some things are, but perhai 114 they ought to be. We there the following queries, and whom the shoe may chance to fit, is permitted to wear Is it becom'tig or honorable in any person to go to the sacred sanctuary, and after be ing comfbrtablv seated, draws out his knife or pencil and either cut or write his name upon the bench? A fool, who can lint writ() n scrawl Will write his name upon the %van Where is the advantage to be gained, by either male or female, who go to church,set down and sleep from the beginning to the end of the sermon? Is it supposed that a per• son may in this will, get religion by inspira• tion, or merely for the purpse of shelving how nodders can nod? Every sleep and every nod Further wings your soul from God. Is it proper for parents to suffer their children Mtn the solemnization of every mart iage,to infest the s!reets and annoy the people with the clamor ufbells and the sound of horns? Such a custrun Inn place, Brings upon it just disgrace FIRST tiTnes.—The anxiety of accumu• lating something for their children--rif.not enough for their entire support, at least enough to set them well aflriat in life—is very common among parents. This is injudicious, and arises from parental weakness. Edti cute your children well, and you have•done enough for them; teach them to depend on their own strength—and this can only be done by putting them upon their own re• . sources—in no other way can they acquire strength. In truth, setting a young man afloat on the wealth accumulated by his falter, is like tying bladders under the arms of a swimmer, or rather one that cannot swim; tell chances to one he will lose his bladders, and his solo dependence, and then where is he? Teach him while young to swim a Hide with 11;41 own 'Aro ng th, and then he will be prepared to enter the stream of life; and take cure of himself without any extraneous helps. Under such cireurnstnn ces, ho will be likely to butßit the waves with fur more success. LOOK TO TOE END —Consider well the end in every thing you do—the end, not the immediate results 7 -thrinomentary gratifi- cation—the apparent gnlrn or advantage for the timer-but the end elan your course of conduct. Look on into the future until you clearly see it—and not imagine the conse. (ponces nre to terminate in an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year, or even an age.— The end—the end is far beyond, in eternity. Few, indeed, are the faults or fillies of mon which meet with no retribution here—suffer ing comes with every vice, as its inseparable companion. But the end, I repeat, is not now—and it is the end I pray you to con. sider. EnticATlox.—Education is a companion which no tnisfortime can depress—no clime destrdy—no enemy alienate—no despotism enslave. At home a friend—abroad an in troduction—in solitude a solace—in society an ornament. It shortens vice--it guides virtue--it giyes at once grace and govern ment to genius. Without it what is man? A splendid slave! a reasoning savage! vacil lating between the dignity of an intelli g e n c e derived from God, and the degradation of brutal passion. CA.Nnotin.-- T Wo are so used to disguise ourselves to others, that at last we become disguised even to ourselves. Were we to take as much pains to he what we ought, ns we do to disguise what we are, we might op. pear like ourselves, without being at the trouble of any disguise at all: RELIGIOUS DISPUTATIOZM—That age of the church which was most fertile in nice questions, was most barren in religion; for it makes people think religion to be only rt matter of wit hi tying and untying of knots. Pious WomuN.—They are the women who bless, dignify, and truly adorn society. Thi, painter, indeed, does not make his fir• tune by their sitting to him; the jeweller is neither brou , ht into vogue, by furnishing their diamonds, nor undone by not being paid for them; the prosperity of the milliner does not depend on affixing their name to a cap or collar; the poet does not celebrate hem, the novelist does not dictate to them —but they possess the affection of their bus bands, the attachment of their children, the esteem of the wise and good; and above all, they possess Ilis favour whom to know is life eternal!
