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.

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

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-

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

while the gentlemen indulged in. Part 7

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."

to the, following rhyming conclusion :
"Oh, I wouldn't live forever,
