"‘Vith sweetest tlow•ers divided.

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,

She Inucht thorn all, like herself to toil,

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

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.

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•

put to death more quickly a multitude of
men and women at once and without trial,

An honest Creole of St. Domingo, who

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

courage, tenderness and energy. 11 hen he
was dragged from the bosom of his fitmily,

arms tied: already the satelites of death ad•

0 happiness! 0 sentiment! what power is

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

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.

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.

Ne has refused to let his only blink eyed
Joe, put more than six grains of coffee to

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

He has kept tip in our beds and bedsteads,

herself, by feeding our horses with broom

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.

Is it proper for parents to suffer their
children Mtn the solemnization of every
mart iage,to infest the s!reets and annoy the

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!
