“ The Female Cmrvicfs fltldress to her Infant.
Ob sleep not, my babe, for the morn ofto-m_ot't‘0w
Shall soothe me to slumber more tranquil than
thine ;
The dark grave shall shield me fi'om shame and
from sorrow, _
Though the deeds and the doom of the guilty
are mine. i
Not long shall the arm of affection enfold thee, -
Not long shalt thou hang on thy mother’s fond
breast .;
And who with the eye ofdelight shall behold thee,
And watcpli thee, and guard thee, when I am at
rest.
And yet doth it grieve me to wake thee my dear-'
est, ‘ ‘C
The pangs of thy desolate mother to see : _
Thou wilt weep when the clttnk of my cold Cham
thou hearest,
And none but the guilty should mourn over
me.
And yet I must wake thee-—for while thou art
weeping, _
To calm thee I stifie my tears fora while ;
But thou smil’st in thy dreams, while thus pla-
cidly sleeping,
And oh! how it wounds me to gaze on thy
smile '
Alas! my sweet babe, with what pride hadI
pres‘, thee
To the bosom that now throbs with t.error and
shame,
If the pure “tie of virtuous affection had blest
thee, . .
And hailed thee the heir of thy fathei"s high
name !
But no\v——with remorse that avails not-—I mourn
thee,
librsakeii and fricndless as soon thou wilt be,
In a tvorld,"if it cannot betray, it will scorn thee,
Avenging the guilt of thy mother on thee.
And when the dark thought of my fate shall awa-
ken
The deep blush of shame on thy innoctm
cheek,
VVhen by all, but the God of the orphan forsaken,
A home and a father in vain thou shalt seek:
I know that tlie- base world will seek to deceive
thee
W/ith falsehood like that which thy mother he-
guflklt
Desertecl and helpless——t0 M10111 C3" 1 leave

abroad amongst the professed friends of Christ,
and observe the spiritless and timid manner in
which many of them hold and pretend to vindi-
cate those cardinal principles which distinguish-
ed and were the glory of the reformation in the
days of Luther, and compare the conduct of these
modern professors, with the noble spirit which
characterized the faithful martyrs, who bled in
defence ofthose trtiths which were dearer to them
than life-we. pause in amazement at the melan-
clioly contrast, and are ready to inquire-—if re-
ligion and its distinguishing principles were an-
ciently more precious to its friends than life and
all its blandishments, why unless its nature is to-
tally cliaiigetl, are its professed friends so frigid
and intlifferent in its vindication i Is it the cause
for which Jesus gave his precious life, and for
which his itnmediate disciples ‘ suffered the loss
of all things,’ and endured prosecution. banish-
ment anti death ? Beware then, ye real friends of
Jesus, how you feel and act in this matter and be-
tray uot the cause that fills heaven with eternal
anthems of praise !—--Tlie fotindation ofthis cause

Vi/hen ’.‘~’Iodestus, the (_i0Vt:!‘IlOl' under Valens,

severity. Dost thou not fear this power that I
have? _iVhy should I fear? The other answer-
ed, the loss of‘ thy estate, l'>ai'iishri:e-nt, torment
and death: But threaten us with something else
if thou canst, (said Basil) for none of these things
can reach us: confiscation ofestate cannot hurt
him that has nothing to lose, tinless thou want-
ést these tattered anti threadbare garments, and
a few books, wherein all my estate lies : nor can
I be properly banished, who am not tied to any
‘place; wherever I am it will be my country, the

being able to hold otit beyond the first stroke ;
anti as for death it will be akindness to me, forit
will be but so much the sooner sending me unto
God, for whose sake I live, and am indeed in a
greatmeasure already dead,towards which I have
been a’ long time hastening. And there is n-opca.
son to wonder at this freedom of speech ,- in oth-
er things we are meek and yielding: when the
cause of God and religionis concerned, overlook-
ing all other tliirlffs,-.tve direct our thoughts only
en ten thousand times worse than all this. V
The Governor was strangely surprised with
the spirit and resolution of the man, and went and
told the Emperor that one poor Bishop was too
hard for them all.’ And indeed so big were their
spirits with audesire to assert and propogate the
ti ue faith, that they would not hide their heads to
avoid the greatest danger.

He who has lived long enough to see his own
opinions oftentimes prove erroneous, and can yet
find no apology for the failings of his fellow be-
ings, or who does not consider that he himself
is alike subject to them ; has lived too long to
be charitable, as is too selfish to be virtuous. A-
hove all, he that can look abroad over humanity
and into his own heart ; and that can go down to
the grave with embittered animosities and preju-
dices, has a head thatis seldom right, and a heart
that was never noble. ’
Carzscierzce. W'hatever thou dost hazard or lose,
keep the integrity of thy conscience, both before
troubles come, and under them. It is ajewel
that will make thee rich in the midst of poverty ;
a sun that will give thee light in the midst of
tlatkness ; a fortress that will keep thee safe in the
greatest danger ; and which can never be taken
from thee, unless thou thyself betray it, and de-
liver it up.
Zeno, of all virtues, made choice of silence ;

Dmn S=zv;'/2’.s cure jbr 1"o7‘g‘elfz1lnc’ss.—A shoe-
maker of Dublin bad a longing desire to work for
Dean Swift, he was recommended by Mr. "James
Swift, the b.tiiker, and Mr. Sicun. a merchant...
The dean gave him an order for a pair of boots,
adding, ~ when shall I have them ?’ ‘On Satur-
day next,’ said the shoemaker. ‘I hate disap-
pointments,’ rejoined the prelate, ‘nor would
have you disappoint others ; set your own time.
but keep to it.’ ‘I thank your reverence,’ said
Bamerick, for that was his name, ‘I desire no
longer time than Saturday St'li’lligl‘lt, when you
will be sure to have them without lull.’
They parted, and the boots were finished to the
time; but through the hurry of business, Mr.
Bamerick forgot to carry them home until Mon-
day evening. VVhcn the Dean drew his boots on,
and found them to his mind, he said, ‘ Mr. Bam-
erick, you have answered the commendation of
your friends, but you have disappointed me, for
I was to have been at Sir Arthur Aclieson’s in
the county of Armagh, on this day.’ ‘Indeed!
sir, said Bamerick, the boots were finished to the
time, but I forgot to bring them home.’
The dean then gave him one of his stern looks,’
and after a pause asked him whether be under-
ick answered ‘ no sir, but I have seen very fine
gardens in England.’ ‘ Come, said the Dean, in
a good humored tone, I will show you improve-
ments I have made in the deanery garclen.’
They walked througli the garden to the fur-
ther end, when the dean started, as if recollect-
ing something,‘ I must step in,’ ‘ stay here till I
come back 5’ then be rtin out of the garden, lock-
ed the door, and put the key in his pocket. Bam-
erick walked about until it grew dark, and not
seeing the dean, he at last ventured to follow him,
btit found the door lockcd_: he kiiocked, and cal-
led several times, but to no purpose. and at length
perceived himself confined between high walls,
the night dark and cold in‘ the month of March.
However, he had not the least suspicion of his
being intentionally confined. '
The deanery servants went to bed at the usual
hour, and the dean remained in his study until
two in the morning. He then went into the hall
and drew the charge out of a bluiitlerbuss, and
other lire arms; then returned and rung his bell
and was immediately attended by one of his ser-
vants. ‘ Robert (said he,) I have been disturbed
with noise on the garden side, I fear some robbers
have broken in; give me a laiithorn, and call up
Saunders. ' The dean then took the lanthorn, and
staid by the arms until the men returned. ‘Arm
yourselves,’ said he, and ‘follow me.’ He led
them into the garden, where the light soon at-
tracted poor Bamerick, who came running up to
them. Upon his approach, the dean roared out,
‘there’s the robber, shoot him, shoot him.’-
Saunders presented, and Bamerick terrified to
death, fell on his knees and begged his life. The
dean held the lanthorn to the man’s face, and then
exclaimed, ‘ mercy on us I Mr. Bamerick, how
come you here ?’ ‘ Lord, sir, (said Bamerick,)
don’t you remember leaving me here in the eve-
ning !’ ‘Ah, true I my friend,»(said the denu.) but
[forgot it as you did the boots ;’
round to Robert, who was butler, he added, ‘ give
the man some warm wine, and see him safe
home.’

system. and introduced into their society many

of Stanchio, eagerly sought to marry her; but
his proposal was rejected. In consequence, be
destroyed himself by poison. The Turkish po-
lice arrested the father of the obd_urate fair, and
tried him for culpable homicide. ‘ Ifthe accus-
ed,’ argued they, with becoming gravity, ‘had
not had a daughter, the deceased would not have
fallen in love, consequently he would not have
swallowed poison, consequently he would not
have died——but he (the accused) had a daughter,
and the deceased had fallen in love,’ Stc. Upon
all these causes, he was called upon to pay the
price of the young man’s life; and this being fix-
ed at the sum of 80 piasters, was accordingly ex-
acted. .

at look ofnative simplicity, ‘but I donna like Cork-
cl sauce with it.’ A roar of laughter followed, in
which the Sergeant joined with his usual good
uumour.

GREAT I..Ol\'GEVI'I‘Y.-—-DiC(l‘,’ill Charleston,
9th inst. Mrs. Starr Barrett, after having com-
pleted 120 years of an active life. This lady
was born in the year 1699, about a year before
the death of Charles 2d, King of Sp.-,tin——to which
country her family had emigrated at an early pe-
riod of her life. She was born in one of the Bar-
bary states, which, could not be ascertained by
the writer, btit it is supposed, under the empire of
Morocco.
Mrs. Barrett possessed a constitution truly Ar-
abian-—she was seldom or never sick, and rather
withered away like some majestic tree which
gradually loses its moisture, but which the tem-
pest has always sprzred. A variety of circum-
stances formed her a great traveller, and she had
visited with no unobservant eye, the four quar-
ters of the globe. She spoke English, Spanish,
Italian, and French, with great fluency; wan
perfectly acquainted with the mixed Morisco or
Frank, as it is spoken by the traders albng the
southern shores of the Mediterranean ; was mis-
tress of the Hebrew, and wrote, spoke, and trans-
lated the pure Arabic, with ease and elegance.
Her memory was very tenacious of impressions.
made in early youth——but for the last half centu-
day to another. She recollected the public joy:
iii Spain, upon the important discovery of the’
Pllillippine Islands, by the Spanish navigators—
as well as the battle of Almanza, when the army
of.Phillip V. King of S'pain, obtained a complete
tictory over the imperialists under the Arch
Duke Charles. Both these events occurred in
1707, when the subject of this notice was only
eight years of age. She was near the scene of
action when Gibraltar was besieged by the Span-
iards, in 1727. Mrs. Barrett was of an easy and
cheerful disposition, even after her blindness,‘
which continued the last thirty years of her life.
Latterly, extreme debility had reduced her to
second infancy. She ate every thing within the
pale of the Hebrew rule (being a Jewess, and
strict in her religious duties ;) drank and slept
well anti was remarkably cleanly and particular
about her person. After dwelling 30 or 40 years
in London, she came to this country in 1780,
then in the 80th year of her age, and lived in this
city for the last 40 years. Her mortal sickness
did not last a fortnight ; when having completed
a truly Patriarchal age, she was gathered to her
athers, leaving behind her halfa dozen genera-
tions, to the fifth and sixth removal. She died,
esteemed by all who knew her; and greatly be-
loved by her family for her amiable qualities and
fervent piety. They were accustomed to look
upon her with a feeling approaching to religious
veneration ; nor could the reflecting mind regard
her person or face for a moment, without a sen-
timent that would thrill the heart and make the
countenance turn pale. Her great age beheld
the sons and daughters of men, fall before her
like the leaves in autumn ; and yet that life, ex-
tended as it was to the utmost span, must have
appeared to its possessor but as a troubled dream,
from which she was_at length awakened by the
hand of Death.
