Freedom's consecrated dower, Casket of a priceless gem 1 Nobler heritage of power Than imperial diadem ! Corner stone in which was reared Liberty's triumphant dome, When the glorious form appeared 'Midst our own g i reen mountain home Purchased by as noble blood As in mortal veins e're run, By the toil of those who stood At the side of WASIIINGTON- By the hearts that met the foe On their native battle plain, Where the arm that deals the blow Never needs to strike again ! Guard it, freemen, guard it well ! Spotless as your maiden's fame ! Never let your children tell Of your weakness—of your shame ; That their fathers basely sold • What was bought with blood and toil; That you bartered right for gold Hero on Freedom's soil ! Let your eagle's quenchless eye, Fixed, unerring, sleepless, bright, Watch, when danger hovers nigh, From his lofty mountain height ; While the stars and stripes shall wave O'er this treasure,_pure and free, The land's Palladium, it shall save The home and shrine of Liberty. 33tautp, Gni anV Mit First began the handsome man, Peeping proudly o'er her fan, Red his lips and white his skin, • Could such beauty fail to win ? Then stepp'd forth the man of gold, Cash he counted, coin he told ; Wealth, the burthen of the tale, Could such golden projects fail ? Then the man of wit and sense, Woo'd her with his eloquence, Now she heard him with a sigh ; Then she blush'd scarce knowing why, Then she mini to hear him speak, Then a tear was on her cheek ; Beauty vanish, gold depart, Wit hath won the widow's heart. ar A gentleman informs us, and we have no reason to doubt his veracity, that ten years ago he bought a piece of enameled cloth for a table cover, on *hick there was at that time, and had been ever since, a small bunch, apparen tly in the make of the cloth. A day or two since a child of his scraped with a knife the "bunch, when out crawled a bed bug, as lively and happy as ever. ,“ew days ago an Englishmart came in to a grocery to make a few pur chases, but was not suited with prices, so he broke out with :---"What a bloody country ! I could get more for twopence .home, than I can 'ere, for 'ad a crown." "Why the dence , didn'tyou stay at 'ome ?" said the angry grocesyman. "I'll tell you," repliecl John Bull, "I couldn't get the two-pence." SIRE "Why does the operation of hang ing kill a man 1" inquired Dr. .Whately. A:physiologist replied, "Because inspi ration is checked, circulation stopped,' ,and blood suffuses and congests the .brain." "Bosh," replied' His • Grace, "itis because the rope is not long enough ,to let his feet touch the ground." tar "How far is it to Taunton 1" asked a countryman, who was walking exactly the ' wrong way to reach that town. "'Bout twenty-four thousand miles," said the lad he, asked, 4 .'1( you,g9 the ;way Yott`are•going now ; 1 ,40ut a mile if you turn arouud." Vr,tz Ballot Box Mr. and Mrs. Rose's Party The Roses were very nice people. They lived in a beautiful place of their own, and were one of the oldest families in England ; indeed, I could not tell how Mani , generations of Roses had lived and 'flourished in the very same spot. Centuries ago, the "Wars of the Roses" occupied a prominent place in history ; but in these peaceful times there was no call to arms, and the fami- ly bad settled down as ornaments and blessings to the country The present Mrs. Rose was as much admired, and quite as popular, as any of her predecessors, and although many younger and gayer beauties had appear ed in the neighb,orhood, she always kept her place. If she bad some sharp points n her character, she very seldom showed them, so that many enthusiastic ad mirers considered her perfect, and did homage to her as a sort of queen. Her portrait had been painted times without number, and almost every poet had praised the extreme sweetness of her sigh. Her husband was said to be a cousin of her 'own, one of the Moss Roses ; his features bore , a striking re semblance to those of his wife; only he wore whiskers and a moustache, which gave him quite a military air. One lovely summer's evening Mrs. Rose had invited a number...l)f her friends and acquaintances to a party—a Bert of garden fete, which 'she thought the young folks at least would enjoy. .1. hap pened to pay her a chance visit on the evening in question, and found her in full-blown beauty, fresh from Venus's looking-glass, waiting the arrival of her guests. She entreated •me to remain by her side, as Mr. Rose had planted himself in another part of the grounds ; and, indeed, I found it impossible to re sist the fascination of her society. The company soon began to assemble, and among 'the earlier arrivals were the Misses Campanula, from a neighboring cathedral town. They wore very large crinolines. and double skirts of lilac and white—tail, showy girls; Mrs. Rose said they were generally called the Can terbury belles. Miss Polly Anthus came next, in ruby velvet, edged with gold. She looked very nice, although her figuw seemed a little stiff and short beside the other ladies. Then entered Miss Ann Tirrhinnm, very gay, in . a crimson and white striped silk. Her appearance was striking and fashionable, but I noticed she had an ugly habit of opening her mouth on the slightest pinch. Mrs. Rose received with marked re spect Mrs. Mary Gold, an• elderly En glish lady, who brought her two nieces from foreign countries, and as they had both the same name she introduced them as African Mary and French Mary They were all dressed in yellow satin, I thought the girls looked rather brown, but Mrs. Rose said people considered them worth cultivating, as they were very rich. Lady Saxifrage and her daughters swept in with a great air, in rosettes and feathers. Mrs. Rose just whispered "London pride," but advanced to meet them with her ueual grace and sweetness, taking especial notice of Pretty Nancy. An old lady (with a curious name, which I forget) was dressed in something that looked like white cotton velvet I Mrs. Rose said that she was always peculiar, and she really believed her flowers were Everlasting. Then followed Miss B. Larkspur, Miss C. Pink, May and P. Blossom, and a whole' family of Asters ; but really the arrivals became so numerous, and ibe ladies browded in so fast, I could no longer distinguish • individuals ; but I caught now and then very sweet names, as "Rosemary," "Lily," "Violet," "Mar guerite," &c., and felt certain the owners of them were all lovely and interesting. Among the gentlemen, Mr. Auricula, tlaough no Dandy, was decidedly the Lion of the evening. He was splendidly got up in a court-twit of purple velvet,_ and wore powder. % I though his man ners were exceedingly stiff; he seemed as if he could not bend to any one; but Mrs. Rose told me. he,was nearly related to the Grand Turk, and we must make some allowance. Major Convolvulus was quite different; he was so fond of waltzing,-and twirled round every one he, could lay hold of; he even - attacked old Mrs. Scabious, the wideVi`; but she was as stifras-a Pincushion,'rind looked so black, that he 'went- off to another quarter. " •,Bvery one remarked-Mr. Wallflower's appearance ;,-he looked really ?Add and dreadfully seedy. Good Mrs:.Rose made an'apology for him alio, and. said !it was so late in the season, he was quite used -up with being so much "out." "But oh r cried she, "here comes little Mr. Box, as trim arid neat as possible. Come away, Mr. Box; I declare you're an Evergreen !" "Ah, madam, May we not say the same of Yew 1" "Capital, Mr. Box. Now, edge along, and see if yon can manage to keep my young folks in order. What a plain lit tle dwarf he is !" continued she, looking after him ; "and yet he is exceedingly useful at times, particularly in putting one's little plots and designs into shape. Many people have got quite tired of him ; but, for my part, I never cast out 'an old friend; even altbough he does re- quire keeping down, and is not ornainen- DB 1 The music, by an admirable arrange- ment, seemed to proceed ; from the neighboring trees, and was all vocal ; the choristers uniting their voices in the most exquisite harmony, while the beautiful lamps of heaven twinkled through the foliage. As the evening advanced, the young people got into capital spirits, and had lots of Hops and Capers ; indeed all formality seemed to wear off. ..T.'heard prim little Polly An thus calling her partner Sweet William, and Tom. Ato really proposed to one of the Canterbury belles "Would she ac cept of a Love Apple ?" Even Mr. Auricula condescended to act the Dusty Miller in a charade. Major Conrolvul us asked Miss Mimosa to take a turn down the walk, but she said she was sure the "Nightshade was Deadly, and she was so much afraid of seeing the Devil-in-a-Bush ;" whereupon he whis pered she was a little Sensitive Plant, and that no one should touch her. Captain Heath had chosen Lily (of the Valley) for his partner. I heard him expatiating on the delights of living on the mountains of Scotland', among the grouse ;'of climbing up rocks, and hang. ing on the edge of a precipice; and he wished to . goodness he could trans Plant her there, thebelles in his country were so.unpleasantlY blue. Upoia which she hung down her pretty . head, and said she preferred the, shade ; but if there was any little glen where she could live near him, she thought she should like it 'very much. Everybody seemed happy but Miss Amaranth, who only drooped the whole evening. Nor did I wonder, after over hearing a conversation between her . and Violet, under the shade of a beautiful Virgin's Bower. Her dearest friend had met with a dreadful accident—had been blown down in a hurricane, and .was so fearfully hurt, she was sure he could never stand upright any more ; and he had been so straight, and bad such a beautiful bead—and though he was only her cousin, and they called him a Cox comb, she never could have Heart's Ease again. His last words had been Forget-me-not! "Oh," cried she, "my poor Love lies Bleeding !"-I heard sobs, I saw Lover's Tears, and hurried away, unwilling to intrude longer on their privacy: The supper was quite beautiful. ' Mrs. Thrift the housekeeper, Sage the cook, and Kingcups the butler, had exerted themselves to the very utmost; and the footmen in handsome new liveries, were perfect Scarlet Runners. The ladies sipped Jelly-flowers and Ambrosia— Mrs. Scabious remarking that the Pekoe tea was the very Pink of perfection.; while the gentlemen indulged in. Part 7 ridge eggs, Buttercups, and a little Shrub. At last, the company began to disperse, and it was time, for poor Mrs : Rose was looking very tired, and many: of the musicians had fallen asleep. waited till the last of the guests had de parted, and it was quite amusing to talk it all over.

XI.--NO. 11. Connubialities Noce is the epitome of our whole duty, and all the endearments of society, so long as they are lawful and honest, are not only consistent with, hut parts and expressions of it. Marriage enlarges the scene of our happiness or misery, the marriage of I )ve is pleasant, the marriage of interest easy, and a marriage where both meet happy. Men go further in love than women, but women outstrip them iu friendship. :Valor was assigned to men, and chas tity to women, as their principal virtues, because they are the most difficult to practice. A. women that has but one lover thinks herself to be no coquet ; she that has several, concludes herself no more than a coquett. The face of her we love is the fairest of sights, and her voice the sweetest har mony in the world. A maa is more reserved on his friend's concerns than his own ; a woman, on the contrary keeps her own secrets better than another's. A woman will think herself slighted if she is not courted, yet pretends to know herself too well to believe your flattery. Absence is to love, what fasting is to the body; a little stimulates it, but a long abstinence is fatal. The greatest pleasure of life is love, the greatest treasure. contentment ; the greatest possession, health ; the greatest ease, is sleep, and the greatest medicine, a true friend. Alcibiades beirig astonished at Socra tes' patience, asked him how he could endure the perpetual scolding of his wife ? "Why" said he, "as they who are accustomed to the ordinary mode of wheels to gliaw water." In marriage'preTer the person before wealth, virtue before beauty,. and tho mind before the body ; then you have a wife, a friend and a companion. r . In an old paper, printed in New London 'early a century ago, we find the owing on matrimony: "Oh, matrimony ! thou are like To Jeremiah's figs ; The good is very good ; the bad Too sour to give the pigs. I never dreamed of such a fate, When I a—lass was courted— Wife, mother, nurse, seamstress, cook, housekeeper, chambermaid, laundress, dairywoman, and scrub generally, doing the work of six, For the sake of - being supported." ear Politeness is shown by passing over the faults and foibles of those whom you meet.. Cultivate this especially to wards relatives. The world is severe in its judgments of those who expose the faults of kindred, no matter what the provocation may be.-,--Vulgar families are almost always at feud. It is not po lite to detail , injuries which you may haVe received from any one, unless there exists some urgent necessity for so TRUE PEELOSOPEY.-A country poet, after looking about over life, has comp to the, following rhyming conclusion : "Oh, I wouldn't live forever, I wouldo if I could ; l3ut I needn't fret about it, Far 1 couldn't if I would." Cr The following dialogue between hostile`-pickets is decidedly good : Yauk.—"You fellows,are awful ragged, but I swom you all fight like gitout." Reb.—"Ragged b fight I I reckon we do-. But you - just wait till we get na ked—that's all." ar Dr. Franklin, speaking of educa tion, siys : "If a man• empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away fromhim. An investment of knowledge always pays the best interest." .Good-nature, like the little busy bee, collects' sweetness from every herb ; while ill:nature, like the spider, collects poison from honeyed flowers.
