“Fuss: iife’s ru-le tempests are husb’d into peace,
. And we sail on our course with a smooth gentle
breeze: ' _
\Vhen to galcs that so oft our canvass must lill,
The sweet voice of mercy cries, ‘Peace be ye

Like the dove that plays out when the sky is se-

But flies to her home when the tempest is seen ;
The weakest ofmortuls, the faintest of heart,
"May rise into notice and act well their part—--
But the roan of true worth can only be known_
In life’s darker scenes, in advere~'ity’s frown :
Like the oak which remains rooted firm in the

VVhile its leaves by the tempest are sc2ttter’d

In the loss of his friends, and ofever_v thing dear,

He disdains to complain while he sl_nart's neath

And refuses to bow unto aught but his God.

FEMALE ACCOMPL'lSl{EIEI
. [BY MISS HANNAH Mooi.u=..]
A young lady may excel in speaking
Frrnch and Italian; may repeat a l'etv pas-
sages from a volume of extracts; play like
a professor, and sing like a syrcn : "have liet‘
dressing-room decorated with her own draw-
ings, tables, stands, flower-pots screens and
cabinets; nay, she may (lance like Scmpro-
nia ltersclf--and yet we shall insist, that she
may have been very badly cducutctl. I am
far from meaning to set no value whatever
on any of these qualifications: they are all
of them elegant, and maiiy of them properly
tend to the perfecting of a polite education.
Tlisrse things, in their measure and (lt‘g‘l‘t".C.‘,
may be done; but there are others, which
should not be left undone. l’t'.ttif.—' things
are becoming, but “ one thing is nccdful.”
Beskles, as the world sectns to be fully ap-
prizcd of the value of wltatevrr tends to cm-
bellish life, there is less occasion here to in-
sist on its im'pot'tancc.
But tltough :2 well-bred young lady may
lawfully learn most of the fashionable arts;
yet, let me. ask, does it set-.-in to be the true
end of etltzcatioti, to make womrn oi‘ fasliion
dancers, singers, players, pz=.intr=.s, actress-
cs, sculptors, gildt-rs, varnishcrs-_. cngravers
and embroidcr_er's ?—-«Most men are common-
ly tlcstiiied to some profession, and their
minds are consrquently turned each to its
respective object. W-oultl it not be strange,
‘if they were called out to exercise their pro-
fession, or to set up their trade, with only a
little general knowledge of the trades? and
professions of all other men, and without :1-
ny previous defmate application to their own
peculiar calling? Tlic profcssionvof ladies.

On taste in female dress.--Personal ncatness
may almost be classed with the cardinal vir-
tues. It was" an observation of Lavater,
that persons habitually attentive to dress,
display the same regularity in the domestic '
alfairs. “ Young women” says he, “ who
neglect their toilette, and n1an’ifcstlittle.con-
cern about dress, indicate, in this very par-
. ticular, a dist-egardto order, a mind but ill
adapted to the details of house-keeping~;a
deficiency of taste and the qualities that in-
spire love: they will be careles in every
thing. The girl of cighteein who desires
not to please, will be a. slut and a shrew at
twenty-five. Pay attention. young man, to
this sign. It never yet was known to de-
ceive.” Husbands, as well aslovers, are
gratified and delighted in seeing their part-
ners handsomely adorned 5 and I am well
convinced, that many a heart now roving in
quest ol'varic’r.y, might be detained in willing
captivity at home, by the silken chains of
personal decoration. It is one of the moral
duties of every married woman, always to
appear well dressed in the presence of her
husband; to effect this, expcnsivr.ucss'nl' at-
tire is by no means requisite. The simplest
robe may evince the weart-.r’s taste as nobly
as the most gorgeous brocade.
__<.e-,1--in-—_.
The following, taken from Le Belle ./lsscmblce,
is a ‘ curious account of a dead Monk’s rc-
animation.’ I, .
It is a well known fact, that tlirougliotit
all the monasteries of Sicily, the dead bodies
of the Monks are (tried and made to stand 0-
rect in niches placed round a kind of sepal-
clitlal chamber, where one of the brothers of
the holy uI‘tii.‘1‘ take it in turn to watch for
two hours every night, to put tltem in ZT.I}.‘:\—
stant mind of the last and awful clt:.:r.gc that
every one is destined to undergo’.
A Monk of Palermo, was passing part of
the night in the manner above mentioned,
when in the interval of his devotional exerci-
ses, he fancied he lteai'tl~every now and then
It very unusual noise ; and lool~:in_:z; stcdt‘astly-
atthat part of the room from \Vllt‘.ll(?(‘ it pro-‘
ceeded, he perceived one of the (load Monks
nod to him; he held up his lamp, and tilt-
ljicatl nodded again: be instantly hastened
up stairs to the convent. to acquaint tltr
bretliren with the fearful omen. 'J'hr Iii oaks
laughed at his fears and porsuadcdhir..1 it
was a more illusion of his imaginatimi ; he
tliercfore summoned courage . to return, but
took care to go to a dill‘ercnt part of tl‘:cut~
extensive galleries, where he reinained a
while in anxious suspense. Finding all still
and motionless, he began to think -he must
have been deceived by his iinaginalion, anti
tlicrtfcre he returnetl to his former staEi'.<.n_-
and fixed his eyes on the same dead monk.
He again saw the head move and nod at lrnn.
Away he ran, and declared that all the saints
in the calendar should not persuade him to go
down again : he was now so positive of the
fact: he had witnessed, that considerable a-
larm prevailed in the convent. The Monks
were called together, and rialtt or ten de-
scended into the apartment with candles and
holy watc1'.——-Tlicy were brought opposite
the ileatl body in question, but just as tlzey
drew up a nod of the head put them all to
flight. When the superior was informed of
it, he was extremely angry, and declared;
some English lteretic had got in and played
this trick; he therefore went down himself
with a party. As they desccruled to the gal-
leries. their courageiu some dc_2'rco abated ;
and after advancing cautiously to the place,
the Superior held up his lamp to the Monk.
It was no il’lusion ; life. had, indeed, once
more entered this frail tenement of mortali-
ty! At that very moment the head shook vi-
olently and fell from, the body when out flew
——-not the soul of a Monk, but a living rat,
which had made its nest in the skull.
This is a. fact which happened lately, and
is well known and authenticated at Paler-
mo.

At the commencement of the revolution,
when the. French nation appeared inclined
to take part in the contestin favor of Amer-
ica, Sir Josiah Yorke, the Ambassador from
England to the United Netherlands, inset-Eng
the French Ambassador at the Hague, cen-
sured his court, for interfering in the dis-
pute, and taking so ungenerous apart. 5 You
have been guilty of a dishonorttble act, (said
he) that is unpardonab1e——no less than that
‘of disturbihg our daughtcr.’—--‘ I am s.--rry
(replied the French Ambassador) that yruzr
excellency should put such a severe construc-
tion upon the mattcr ; she made the first ad-
vanccs, and absolutely threw herself into our
arms ; but rather than forfeit your friend-
ship, if matrimony will make any atone-
mcnt, we are ready to act honorably, anti
marry her.’ ' ,;
Spirited reply./.——-A minister of Louis XIV.-
said reproachfully to a colonel of the S_wiss_
Guards--‘ that’ if he could add together all
the money which the Swiss troops had remo-
ved from France, it would‘ pave the high
road frotn Paris’ to Berne.’—* Perhaps it
‘would,’ replied the soldier, ‘ and were you
to ‘recollect all the blood which they luive
-shed in your scrvicoit would till a canal ex-
tending. the same distance.’ A
A person was joked by his friends because
at an advanced age, he married a young wo-
man. The old.beau replied, 6‘ that he would
rather have his heart pierced by a new and
shining blade, than by a rusty nail.”
Many years ago, in Connecticut, a cer-
tain Justice was called to a jail, to liberate
a worthless debtor, by receiving - his oath
that be was not worth five pounds. ‘ Well,
Johnny,’ said the justice, as he entered, ‘ can
you swear you are not wortlt five pounds,
and never will be 2’, 6 VVhy’-—-answered the
other, rather chagrin'cd at the question, ‘ I
swear I’m not worth that sum at present.’
‘ \Vell, well,’ returned the justice, ‘ I can
swear“ to the rest; so step forward, J olmny.’

rolates the following story of himself: “ I
was once (says he) so poor, that 1 had not
wherctvith to buy a pair of shoes, and was
obliged to go barefooted‘. However patient
I had been till then,I was become very dissat-
isfied with my lot, and ciitered the Temple of
C-ulfa extremely melancholy and discontent-
ed. 1 there saw a man who had no legs;
reflectingon his condition, I no longer com-
plained of wanting shoes, but gave God
thanks, from the bottom of my heart, that I
could still walk though barefooted.--How
much better is it thought] to be without shoes
than witliout legs! If this poor man could

A black in an was lately purchased in Louis-
ville, by one of those legalized robbe1's—-—call-
cd (or that ought to be called) men-dealers,
to be taken down to New<t)rlcans. The
man had a wife and several children, front
whom he was now to be torn without mer-
cy, and rather than to endure the horrors
of separation from all be held dear on earth,
be terminated his «existence, by drowning
himself in the river.-—-Ohio paper.
Milly, the Prophet Francis’ daughter who
saved the life of Duncan M’Rimmon, a Geor-
gia militiaman, while a prisoner with the In-
dians, has declined the offer of M’Rimmon’s
in marriage: she says she did no more for
him than she would have done for any other
white person, in the same situation. ,The
people of Georgia have made her many pre-
seuts.

‘ The sleep of the laboring man is sweet,’
and surely nothing is so delightful, as, after
a day spent in the peaceful. eigercise of some
honest calling, to sink upon our pillows, con-
Scions of well meant endeavors, and confi-
ding in that God, who has promised to ac-
cept them. Fatigue of this kind never in-
jures the animal frame; it is repaired by
rest and rcfwsliment; and the morning
which rt-fucws the demand for exertion, re-
vives tbe power of cpmpliance. But the V0-
tary of pleasure rises unrefreshed, and a
listlessyawning morning is tltc pcnalty,which
he must pay to nature l'or having forced her
beyond her ability.

Caution.-—A gentleman not long since,
when riding on horseback, came ‘very near
losing his life in consequence of the bit break-
ing, which leftliitn entirely at the mercy of
the horse, .wbo finding himself without a
guide, gallopcd home, and would in all prob-
ability havc dashed his 1-id<=.r’s brains out,
had not the stable door very fortunately been
shut, which brought the horse to a stand, and
gave the rider an opportunity to escape un-
hurt. On e:~:amination, it was found that
the bit-which had thus hazartled the 1-iziei-’s
.}gf,,_. was made of cast iron, and so brittle
tlt;tt,py' 11 strain of the hand it was broken.
'5‘heicircumstance is statetl as a. caution lit‘;
those who hire horses or purcltase hits, as
lzwgo quantities of these cast iron "bits and
'stirt-ups have been lately imported, plated in
a handsome manner, and not easily discov-
ered by the eye, but made fol’ sale, and lin-
ished to’ resemble the wrought irotrplatcd
ware.
England for the sole purpose of selling them
clieap, and are imported by houses in this
city, who would take great care not to use
them tliemsolvcs, because they know them
better, but by vending them_ cheap, they are
scattered over the country, and many an in-
noccnt man from his ignorance of the artic-
le, may lose alifo or break a limb, by using
the cast iron bit and stirrup-—-the brittle na-
ture of which is well known to those in the
1'
secret.
