THE AU.TOCRAT'S PRAYER.*
Europe! hear the voice that rose
From the cliiefof Freedom's foes—-
Whon he bade war’s thunders roll
O’er the country of the Pole=-

'I‘o his Cossacks on parade

Thus the Calmuck robber said-—

" Mine the might, and mine the right,
Stir ye, spur ye to the fight——

, Bare the blade and strike the blow
To the heart's core of the foe-—
Slaugliter all the rebel bands
Found with weapons in their hand
On !—-the holy work of fate '
Russizi’s God will consecrate!

“ Tis decreed that they shall bleed
For their dark and trait’rous deed—
Poles! to us by conquest given!

Ye provoke the wrath of Heaven—-
Therefore purging sword and shot
Use we; just, and spare you not—- ._g_,g:§Ti3‘5‘,.,
Guardiianiof our Northern faith, "3
Guide us to thefield ofdeath !

“ E'er we've done, many a one
Shall weep they ever saw the sun-—
Rouse the noble in his hall

To a fiery festival-—

Dash the stubborn pe_asanl’s niirtjl,j--
Drown in blood his alien liearth-°‘-"J'
Babe, or mother. never falter-—
Spear the priest before the altar—-
Onward and avenge our wrong 2--
God is good and Russia strong."

POLITENESS.

In politeness, as in many other things con-
nected with the formation ofcliaractor, peo-
ple in general begin outside, when they should
begin inside ; instead of beginning with the
heart, and trusting that to form the manners,
they begin with the manners, and trust the
heart, to change influences. The golden rule
contains the very life and soul of politeness.
Children may be taught to make a graceful
courtesy, or a gentlemanly bow,--but,’ unless
they have likewise been taught to abhor what
isiselfish, and always prefer another’s comfort
and pleasure to their own, their politeness will
be entirely artificial, and be used only when
it is their interest to use it. On the other
hand, a truly benevolent, kind-hearted per-
son will always be distinguislierl for what is
called ‘ native politeness,’ though entirely ig-
norant ofthe conventional forms ofsociety.

I by no means think graceful manners of
small importance. They are the outward
form ofrefinement in the mind. and good af-
fections in the heart, and as such must be
lovely. But when the form exists without
the vital principle within,it is as cold and life-
less as flowers carved in marble.

Politeness, either offeeling or -of manner,
can never be taught by set maxiins. Every-
day influence, so unconsciously exerted, is all
important in forming the characters of chil-
dren : and in nothing more important than in
their manners. Ifyou are habitually polite,
your children will become so, by the more
force of imitation, without any specific direc-
tions on the subject. Your manners at home
should always be such as you wish your fami-
ly to have in company. Politeness will then
be natural to them , they will possess it with-
out thinking about it. But when ceitain out-
ward observances are urged in words as im-
portant only because they make us pleasing.
they assume an undue importance, and the
unwortbiness of the motive fosters selfishness.
Besides, if our own manners are not habitual-
ly consistent with the rules -we give, they will
he of'little avail ; they will in all probability
be misunderstood, and will certainly be for-

otten. I, at this moment, recollect an anec-

ote, which plainly shows that politeness can-
not be shuflled on at a moment’s warniiig,likc
‘a garment long out of use. A worthy, but
somewhat vulgar woman, residing in a seclu-
ded village, expected a visit from strangers of
some distinction. On the spur of the occa-
' sion,the called her children tog:-ther,and said,
" After I have dressed you up,’ you must sit
very still till the company comes; and then
‘you must be sure to get up and make your
.bows and courtesies , and you must mind and
say “ Yes, ma’am," and “ N o, ma'am"-—-
“Yes, sir," and “ No, sir. I thank you." ‘
The visitors arrived——and the children, seat-

 

'~cd together like ‘ four and twenty little dogs

all in a row," uprose at once, bobbed their
courtesies, and jabbered over, ‘ Yes, ma’am,
No, ma’am. Yes, sir, No, sir,I thank you--
There, mother, now we’ve done it !’

The idea that politeness would render so-
-cial life too stiff and restrained, springs from
8. false estimate of politeness.’ Truo polite-
mess is perfect ease and freedom. It simply
consists is treatin others just as you love to
be !.;°,ated yourse f. A person who acts from
this principle will always be said to have
*‘ sweet pretty ways with her.” It is of some
consequence that your daughter should I{n0\\
how to enter and leave a room gracefully ;
but it is of prodigioiusly more consequence
that she should be in the habit of avoiding
whatever is offensive or disgusting to others,
and of always preferring their pleasure to her
own. If she has the last, a very little inter-
course with the world will teach her the first.

Ibelieve nothing tends to make people so
awkward as too much anxiety to please oth-
ers. Nature is graceful; and affecting, with
all her art, can never produce anything half
so pleasing. The very perfection of elegance
is to imitate nature as closely as possible ; and
how much better it is to have the reality than
the imitation. I shall probably be reminded
that the best and most unaffected people are
often constrained and awkward in company to
which they are unaccustomed. I answer,
the reason is, they do not act tliemselves-—
they are afraid they shall not do right, and
that very fear makes them do wrong. Anxi-

~ety about the opinions of others fetters the

freedom of nature. At home, where they act
from withinthemselves, they would appear a
thousand times better. All would appear
‘(€11.15 they never tried to assunie what they
did not possess.--Everybody is respectable
and pleasing so long as he is perfectly natu-
ral. Iwill made no exception——Nature is
always graceful. The most secluded and the
most ignorant have some charm about them
so lopf as they affect uothirig-—so long as they
Sg§a_ and act from the impulse of their own
llollesfliearta, without any an iety what oth-
'-.€“.lllm.k Ofih Coarseuess it d vulgarity are
thoveffeots of education and habit , they can-
notbe charged upon ‘nature. True polite-

‘ FRIENDSHIP;

What a strange~commodit.y 3 How hard to
purchase, yet how prodigally wasted !- How
much the ofispringjjofcaprice, yet how long in
growth! How from interest ! How
weak when divided with many ! How ardent
when young in heart! How cooled by distance,

, and yet how much more vivid with some,wlien

distance drives it from the heart to the imagi-
nation. and memory kindles the embers that
were ab_gut_ expiring lg‘; How icy when inter-
est cali_tul"tés its degrees! How consuming
wbentlf , _i_ti‘l_ses of a warm heart count the
days aid *’%.'y',e‘n years of its existence as mere

 

ininuted _" wow, the soul sickens and shrinks
__s’pla‘_c‘ed ! How the heart bounds

edness from a brighter world, or a recovered
jewel restored to a rifled casket! Friendship !
lost we know not how, and yet perhaps not
more inexplicable than at first obtained ;—-
lnst,wc know how, but marvel wliy, since they
who refuse it daily press to their bosoms, and
knit to their heart-stiings, or bind to their iii-
terests, less worthy objects in the"hearl‘s esti-
mate, less devoted, and less faithful in the mat-
ters which concern the calculations of the
world, the estranged themselves being judges.
Friendship! which neither time nor distance,
nor fault, nor foible, nor frailty, nor even
crime can dissolve. Friendship ! thata whis-
per scatters-—a word caiiceis—-a minute makes
old. Friendship! dead. buried, and forgotten.
Friendship ! re-created, new-risen, lasting as
life itself. Thou elixir of life to those who en-
joy thee, poison ofpeace to those who have
lost thce—-—vagabond! angel! Who can tell
thy value? \Vho covets thee not, yet who
appreciates ? Who will answer ?

Hangingqf IVindow Bfind.r.—-A correspon-
dent of the National Intelligencer says ;—-“ It
is aurprising to me that the mode of hanging
window blinds universally practised inFrance,
should not have been introduced in our hot
and sunny climate. There, the blind is hung
by hinges at the top,and opens by being push-
ed out from below to any distance agreeable,
instead of being hung on the sides and open-
ing perpendicularly. By our present mode,
the blinds cannot be opened witliout admitting
the sun‘: but by the French mode, the blind
may be opened, the air admitted, and the sun
at the same time excluded-—the window being
still shaded, though the blind be open. Leta-
ny one try this plan on a southern" exposure,
and he will find its superiority. Another ad-
vantage is, that the blind is more easily and
quickly opened and shut; and a further
superiority is, you can have your blinds open
without losing the pleasure ofprivacy in your
apartment. We take, unfortunately, all our
fashions from England, and if England had a-

- dopted the French mode of hanging window

blinds. we should long ago have copied it.--—
But the English climate, requiring the admis-
sion of all the little sunshine nature gives it,
forbids the adoption of the French mode, and
we, therefore, have rejected it, although our
climate renders it more desirable than even in
France itself. I pray our buildersto consider
the subject."

‘A SAtLon’s ‘sVi'r.—-When his Majesty’s
carriage drove into the stable yard at St.
Jai_nes’s on Wednesday, a jolly tar saluted
him with a characteristic cheer, “I-Iuzza for
King William.’ the Reform Bill forever!” It
is said his Majesty was highly gratified at this
hoincly and familiar pun upon his name.
