[From the New York Mirror.] WHAT IS LIFE? Say, what is life ?—a feeble flower, Declining as it blooms ; Which bears at heart the withering power, The canker that consumes ! A w’intry cloud, an April beam, A stage for empty strife, A waking thought, a troubled dream — Ab, such is life ! A web of checker’d hopes and fears, A bubble on the wave— A shade, composed of smiles and tears, A pilgrim to the grave ! A bark upon the waters tost, (The sport of storm and strife,) Her rudder gone, her anchor lost— Ah, such is life '. And what is deatli ?—u dreaded doom To pleasure’s silken slave; Who fears to sleep amid the gloom That wraps the silent grave. To quit this scene of earthly joys, Oh '. who would yield his breath ? Resign ambition’s gilded toys, To welcome death ? The soul that feels affliction's pang, To life's dark 'ills a prey, Soars to the source from whence it sprang, And spurns the cumbrous clay. No more may terrors shake my breast, Or waste my feeble breath ; Death rocks the cradle of our rest, Then welcome death ! MISCELLAIV V. THE GRAND DUKE AND THE JEW. A ROM AN C OF REAL LIKE. The following singular story, which tvas current among the English residents in St. Petersburgh, at the coronation of the*present Emperor of Russia, has been narrated to us by a person newly arrived from that part of the continent. In the early part of the year 1820, an English gentleman, from Akmctcht in the Crimea, having occasion to travel to France on business of importance, di rected his course by way of Warsaw, in Poland. About an hour after his arrival in that city, lie quitted the tavern in which lie had been taking refreshment, to take a walk through the streets. While saun tering in front of one of the public build ings, he met with on elderly gentleman of a grave aspect and courteous demeanor. After a # mutual exchange of civilities, they got into a conversation, during which, with the characteristic frankness of an English man he told the stranger who he was, where from, and whither he was going. The other, in the most friendly manner invit ed him to share the hospitalities of his house, till such time as he found it con venient to resume his journey—adding, with a smile, that it was not improbable hut he might visit the Crimea himself in the course of that year, when perhaps, he might require a similar return. The in vitation was accepted, and he was con ducted to a splendid mansion, elegant without, and rich and commodious within. Unbounded liberality on the part of the l’ole, produced unbounded confidence on the part of the Englishman. The latter had a small box of jewels of great value, which he had carried about his persou from the time of his leaving home—find ing that mode of conveyance both hazard ous and inconvenient in a town, he reques ted his munificent host to deposit it in a place of security till he should be ready to go away. At the expiration of three days, he prepared for his departure, and on asking for his box, how was he amaz ed when the old gentleman, with a coun tenance exhibiting the utmost surprise, replied, “What box?’’ “Why, the small box of jewels which I gave you to keep for me?” “My dear sir, you must surely be mistaken: I never really, saw nor heard of such a box.” The Englishman was petrified. After recovering himself a lit tle, he requested he would call his wife, she having been present when lie received it. She came, and on being questioned, answered in exact union with her husband —expressed the same surprise—and be nevolently endeavored to persuade her dis tracted guest that it was a mere hallucina tion. With mingled feelings of horror, astonishment, and dispair, he walked out of the house and went to the tavern at which he had put up on his arrival at Warsaw. There he related his mysterious story, and learned that his iniquitious host was the richest Jew in Poland. He was advised, without delay, to state the case to the Grand Duke, who fortunately hap pened at that time to be in Warsaw. He accordingly waited on him, and with little ceremony, was admitted to an audience. Ho briefly laid down the case, and Constantine, “with a greedy ear devoured up his discourse.” Constantine expressed iiia astonishment—told him lie knew the Jew, having had exteusive money transactions with he had always I been respectable, and of an unblemished character. “However,” he added, “I will use every legitimate means to unveil the mystery.” So saying, ho called on some gentlemen who were to dine with him that day, despatched a messenger with a note to the Jew, requesting his presence. Aaron obeyed the summons. “Have you no recollection of having received a box of jewels from the hand of this gentleman?” said the Duke. “Nover, my lord,” was the reply. “Strange, indeed. Are you perfectly conscious,” turning to the En glishman, “that you gave the box as stat ed?” “Quite certain, my lord.” Then addressing himself to the Jew—“ This is a very singular case, and I feci it my duty to use singular means to ascertain the truth—is your wife at home?” “Yes, my lord.” “Then,” continued Constan tine, “Here is a sheet of paper, and here is a pen, proceed to write a note to your wife in such terms as I shall dictate.”— Aaron lifted the pen. “Now,” said this second Solomon, “commence by saying, ‘ All is discovered! There is no resource left but to deliver up the box. I have owned the fact in the presence of the Grand Duke.’” A tremor shook the frame of the Israelite, and the pen dropped from his fingers, but, instantly recovering himself, he exclaimed, “That is impossi ble, my lord. That would be directly im plicating myself.” “I give you my word of honor,” said Constantine, “in presence of every one in the room, that what you write shall never be used as an instrument against you, farther than the effect it pro duces on your wife. If you are innocent you have nothing to fear—but if you per sist in not writing it I will hold it as a proof of your guilt - ” With a trembling hand, the terrified Jew wrote out the note, folded it up, and as he was desired, soaled it with his own signet. Two officers were despatched with it to his house, and when Sarah glanced over its contents, she swooned and sunk to the ground. The box was delivered up and restored to its owner— and the Jew suffered the punishment his villainy deserved. He was sent to Siberia. Celibacy. —This disease is spreading to an alarming extent in our city; and un less checked in its progress, depopulation must certainly ensue. Multitudes, from the gray hairs of sixty down to the raven locks of twenty-five, with shame be it said, are living single, solitary and alone, much to the inconvenience of society and an noyance to the ladies. These misanthro pies seems to forget that there is such a be ing upon the stage of existence as woman, and that there is ‘one mould for every two designed.’ They tug along the pathway of life, beneath a ponderous pack of cu pidity and selfishness, casting their frowns upon all that is fair and beautiful, till tired, weary and exhausted, they sink by the wayside, without one to cheer, to aid, or sympathise. They then look upon them selves as having been mere cyphers in creation, of no nominal account while standing alone, but of tenfold value when united to one. An old bachelor may well be termed ‘the jest and riddle of the world;’ he shuns the society of the fair sex, through the fear of encountering such insinuations on the subject of matrimony, as may prove goads to bis sensitive feelings. lie performs bis daily avocations for the appearance of in dustry or business, without knowing the why or wherefore of his toil; he returns to his lonely abode at evening, but no smiles welcome him; ‘No children run to lisp their sire’s re turn;’ no wife to prepare his accustomed meals, and none to contribute to bis hap piness, comfort and convenience. lie looks upon the female kind as mere wild flowers of the forest, destined to bud, bloom and decay, unseen, unpluckcd, and unnoticed, while lie fosters iu bis own breast a lawless ambition, understood by none but himself, and wears a false ex cresecnr* of pride, equally mysterious. Iu short, he eats—he drinks—he sleeps— treads his solitary round of life, and drops into the grave without having accomplish ed that for which he was designed. ‘Who is there to morn for Logan?’ Not one. The evil should be averted, and meas ures ought to be taken accordingly. We recommend that every bachelor be subject to an annual tax (with the exception of edi tors, they being a separate and distinct species of human kind); and that the reve nue arising from such tax be distributed among single females over and above a certain age. If this plan were adopted, we feel confident that celibacy would exist but in a slight degree, and that many ol our young maidens who are now goinpelled to see themselves safe home (or somewhere else) perchance at midnight, would even tually become help-mates for inan, and ornaments to society.—[N. Y. Whig. The Indiana Sun says that when a traveller stops at a hotel in that State, his horse is weighed and when taken out is weighed again uu<i the bill is charged according' >* “BOARDING ROUND.” Annexed is a humorous description of the country pedagogue “boarding round” with each individual in his district, as wan the general custom in bygone days, and we believe this usage still prevails iu some portions of the country. Monday —Went to board at Mr. B—’s; had a baked goose for dinner; supposed from its size, the thickness of its skin j and other venerable appearances, to | have been one of the first settlers of Vermont made a slight impression on the patriarch’s breast. Supper cold goose and potatoes; family consist ing of the man, good wife, daughter Peggy, four hoys, i’ompcy the dog, and a brace of cats, fire built iu the square room about nine o’clock, and a pile of wood laid by the fireplace; saw l’cggy scratch her fingers, ami could'ut take the hint— felt squeamish about the stomach; anJ | talked about going to bed; Peggy looked sullen; and put out the fire in the square room; went to bed, and dreamed of having eaten a quantity of stone wall. Tuesday. —Cold gander for breakfast, swamp tea and some nut cakes; the latter some consolation. Dinner The legs, &c. of the gander done up warm, one nearly despatched. Supper —The other leg, &,c. cold; went to bed as Peggy was carrying the fire to the square room, dreamed I was a mud turtle, — and got on my back and could not get over again. Wednesday. —Cold gander for break fast, complained of sickness, and cat noth ing. Dinner. —Wings, &.c. of the gander warmed up; did my best to destroy them for fear they should be left for supper, did not succeed; dreaded supper all the after noon. Supper Hot Indian Johnny cakes, and no goose, felt greatly relieved, thought I had got clear of the gander, and went to bed for a good night’s rest; disap pointed; very cold night, and could’nt keep warm in hod; got up, and stopped the broken windows with iny coat and vest; no use; froze my nose before morning. Thursday. —Breakfast! cold gander a gain; felt very much discouraged to see the gander not half gone; went a visiting for dinner and supper; slept abroad, and had pleasant dreams. Friday. —Breakfast abroad. Dinner at Mr. B ’s; cold gander and hot pota toes; last very good; cat three, and went to school quite contented. Supper —Cold gander, and no potatoes; bread heavy and dry; had the head-achc and could’nt cat; Peggy much concerned; had a fire built in the square room, and thought, she said, I had better sit there out of the noise; went to bed early. I’eggy thought too much sleep had for the hcad-ache. Saturday. —Breakfast, cold gander and hot Indian Johnny-cake; did very well; glad to come off so. Dinner —Cold gan der again; did’nt keep school this after noon; weighed, and found I had lost six pounds tho past week; grew alarmed; had a talk with Mr. B. who concluded I had boarded out his share. Not Slow. —As a train of cars was passing along one of the railroads a few days since, under full headway, the en gineer observed an old woman running towards the train front a house he was about passing, waving her hands and ex hibiting great anxiety lest the train should go by without stopping. Supposing that her errand was important, he checked the locomotive, and moved slowly along un til the old woman—who had run herself nearly out of breath—gradually approach ed within hailing distance. “Well inarm,” cried the conductor, “what do you warn?” “I want,” replied tho dame, screeching at the top of her voice, “I want to know if you want to buy any squashes?” The way the steam was put oh the locomotives for the next five miles was a caution to land turtles.—[Boston Transcript. G aming. —Of all the passions, gaming is the most dangerous and inexcusable. — A gamester attempts to enrich himself with the spoils of those he. calls his friends. But how many armies are in arms against him? Behold the mother! her tears reproach him with tho ruin of her only son! That father prenounces his, name with horror and contempt to his j children!—Pursued by hatred, overwhelm ed with calumny, lie feels himself con demned by reason and humanity; and, af ter wandering long in the mazes of vice, lie finds nothing before his eyes but ruin and remorse. All in the Family.— A few miles from Derby, England, and but a short time ago, two brothers of a respectable family, married two sisters—a third broth er, feeling disappointed that there was not another sister determined not to mar ry out of the family, and took the mother to wife. A celebrated toper, intending to go to j a masked ball, consulted an acquaintance j in what character lie should disguise him self. “Go Sober,” replied his friend, | “and your most intimate friend will not 1 know you.” LTERMS «,3 IN ADVANCE. NUMBER 39. Novel Reading. From Dr. Hum phrey’s “Thoughts on Education,” in the New York Observer. Absolutely to proscribe all fiction, would, perhaps, be going too far. I think I could select a dozen volumes, besides Robinson Crusoe, which I should be will ing to have my children read in their mi nority. But nothing is more to he de precated, in a family, than a morbid appe tite for novels; and all expcrienco proves, how difficult it is, to keep it from becom ing absolutely ravenous, if it is indulg ed at all. Reading one work of fiction, is almost certain to create in the young and susceptible mind, a more eager, de mand for another; and the demand rises at every step of the progress, till it is pre pared to break over all bounds, and to devour whatever comes in its way, how ever it may inflame the passions, pollute the imagination, or corrupt the heart. One grand objection against putting pop ular works of fiction into the hands of our youtli of both sexes is, that the world of romance differs* so entirely from the rough, stormy, and matter-of-fact world in which they are to live and be happy if they can; and certainly to suffer, what ever pains they may take to shun it.— Suppose your blooming daughter of fif teen, could be transported into some par adise of perpetual spring and spicy breezes —of odoriferous flowers, and feather* and harmony, and gushing marble fountains and banyan shades, and everlasting suii sliinfc—what kind of preparation would she be making in such bowers of unmin gled delights, for reluming, at the end of five or ten years, to spend her life iu this cold region where sh« was born, up on which the curse of God has so heavi ly fallen? But far worse than this must it be for her to dwell the same number of years in the fairy lands of romance, and then come down to the dull, husky prose and discordant elements—the thou sand inconveniences, and enres ami toils and diappoiutinents of real life. When the novelist can plant and water and il luminate sonic terrestial paradise; and shut out sorrow and pain and sin, and give our children a life-lease of it, it will be time enough to introduce them to his acquaintance; but till then, the less thej have to do with this class of writers the better. In Bosina, India, according to the Rev. Mr. Walpole, any man of the place who may be inclined to matrimony, if he happen to be pleased with any of the girls whom he sees in passing, throws an em broidered handkerchief on her head and neck; the girl is then obliged to return home, regard herself as betrothed, and appear no more in public! Loud Bacon’s Essay on Adversity. It was a high speech of Seneca, (after the manner of the stoics) that the good thiugs which belong to prosperity are to be wished, but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired: “ Bo na veruin sccundarum optabilin, adver sarutn mirabilia.” Certainly, if mira cles be the command over nature, they appear most in adversity. It is .jet a higher speech of his than tins other, ! (much too high fora heathen.) “It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man, nndthe security of a God.” “Vere magnum habere fragilitatem, hominis sc curitatem Dei.” This would have done better in poesy, where transcendencies are more allowed; and the poets, indeed, have been busy with it; for it is in elfcet that strange thing which is figured in that strange fiction of the ancient poets, which seemetli not to to be without mys tery; nay, and to have some approach to the state of a Christian, “that Hercules, when he went to uubind Prometheus, (by whom human nature is represented,) sail ed the length of the great ocean in an earthen pot or pitcher, lively describing cliristiaq resolution that saileth in the frail bark of the flesh through the wpvesofthu world.” But to speak in a mean, the vir tue of prosperity is temperance, tbe virtue of adversity is fortitude, which in morals ,is the more heroical virtue. Prosperity is | the blessing of the Old Testament, adver sity is the blessing of the Haw, which carrieth the greater benediction, and the clearer revelation of God's faVor. Yet even in theOtd Testament, if 7°** to David’s harp, you shall hear as many hearse like airs as carols; and the pencil of the Holy Ghost hath labored more in describing the affliction of Job than the felicities of Solomon. Prosperity is not without many fears, and distaste; cud ad versity is not without comforts hopes. Wc see in needle-work and it is more pleasing to on a sad and solemn groun%ffi|n to 6*ve a dark and melancholy «mt|npsl^l%bt urc of the the eye. Certainly virtue is like precious odors; most fragrant where they are inceisMfti or crushed; for -prosperity doth best dL covcr vice, but adversity doth best disco ver virtue.
