TO TiiYRZ-V —from Byron.
Oirr. struggle more, and I am free
From pangs that renu my heart in twain ;
One last long sigh to love and thee.
Then back to busy life again.
It units me well to mingle now
With things that never pleas'd before!
'Though every joy is fled bfclow,
What future grief can touch me more I
r. ' \
Then bring me wine, the baronet bring;
Man Was not form’d to live alone:
l’ll : be that light unmeaning thing
: That smiles with all, and weeps with none. .
It was not thus in days more dear, -
It never would have been, but thou
H.ist fled, and left me lonely here;
Thoui’t nothing, all are nothing now.
In vain my lyre would lightly breathe?
The smile that sorrow fain would wear
But ipocks the woe that lurks beneath,
Like roses o’er a sepulchre.
1 Though gay companions o’er tire bowl
Dispel a while the sense of ill:
Though pleasure fires the Imd.l’ning soul;
The heart—the heart is lonely siUl!
On many a lone and lovely night
1 1 sooth’d to gaze upon th. sky :
For then I deem’d the heavenly light
Shone sweetly on thy pensive eye:
And of; I thought at Cynthia’s noon,
Wh'.n sailing o’er the iEgean wave,
‘ r Now Thyrza gazes on that moon—”
A.us, it gleam’d upon her grave!
When stretch’d on fever’s sleepless bed.
And sickness shrunk my throbbing veins,
“’Tis comfort still,” I faintly said,
“ That Thvrza cannot know mj' pains ;
Like freedom to the time-worn slave,
A boon Ms idle then to give;
Relenting nature vainly gave, '
My lilc, when Thyrza ceas’d to live-*
My Thyrzu’s pledge in better days,
When love and life alike were new !
How different now thou mte.'st my gaze!
How ting’d by time with sorrow’s hue!
The heart that gave itself with thee
Is silent—ah, were mine as still!
Though c I I as e’en the dead can be,
It feels, it sickens with the chill.
Thou bitter pledge; thou mournful token!
Though painful, welcome to my breast! .
Still, s> ill preserve that love unbroken,
Or break »he heart to which thou’rt pres'! x
Time tempers love, but not removes,
More hallow’d when its hope is fled;
Oh! What h thousand living loves
To that which canned quit the dead?
FROM THE RICHMOND COMPILER.
A Grinneri, —Having been confin
ed for the greater part of my life to
the country, I had a great desire to
visit Richmond. And having after a
deal of persuasion prevailed on my
father, who is an honest old farmer,
to give me caih enough to sport f>r a
month, I set out whit 4 heart of joy.
Soon after my arrival iu town, 1 look
care to deliver the introductory let
ters with which my father had pro
vided me: for I began to feel more
lonesome than I ever was in my life.
Being made known to several, thro*
the medium of the aforesaid letters, I
was, received with great politeness
and attention by the gentlemen (mj
father being a stockholder of jiomc
importance in one of the banks,) and
(by the ladies equally flattering, and I
am afraid for the same reason too,
notwithstanding a whisper of vanity,
bids me set it down to the credit of
my personal attractions, which to do
myself justice, are not so inconsider
able.
After I bad circulated some time in
Richmond,! received an invitation to
spend an evening at Mr. where
there was a collection of gentlemen
and lailrs, which collection as nobo
dy has given it a name 1 here christen
and name Grinncry —so called from
the quantity of teeth exhibited there
by all those who have any Welt* af
ter I had dressed myself as handsome
ly as a countryman can well do, I
started at six o’clock for the Grinne
ry, with a ruffle so deep, and so much
starched that I was veered about by
the wind like a weathercock. 1 was
received at the door by a servant,
which I thought very uugenteel, till 1
heard it was the fashion, and hv him
(alier J disposed of bat and surtout,)
was about to be ushered in a room
where 1 at first thought the ladies
were, dressing; seeing they had not en
ough eloalhes, 1 hung back aid told
the servant he was carrying me into
the wrong room. « No, no sir,” said
j he, “ that’s Ihe room.” Dont you
j see, you sir, I cried, that they are not
| dressed, this must be their chamber’
The fellow thrust his tongue into his
ja\v ; and blew up info the most instil
ling laugh that ever assailed my ears,
and then run off into the next room,
where I heard him giggling whh the
rest of his fellow servants. After
standing some time (for not knowing
the fashionable hour, 1 had gone 100
soon) several gentlemen passed on in
to the room which 1 mistook for the
chamber—] then followed them. Mr.
carried me up and Introduced
me to his wife, who was sitting j n
state; after which 1 joined a kuot ot
fellows w|to having no where to sis
were standing in the middle of (he

floof>. It warriglit c'old t remember,
but m£ mistakes and confusion made
the dew beads stand cm uiy
like rain upon Albeit, 1
burrowed into (be middle of they;roup
yet even there for my soul of me I
could not venture for some time to
look at the girls for fear they would
think I was looking at their naked bo
soms; and when 1 did, 1 dodged doivn
my head as soon as they turned their
heads towards me. After 1 bad been
in the room' some time, I observed
that the girls did not appear to be so
jmehsy at their situation as 1 was
lirst led tp think, from what 1 then
thought AVcre their blushes; which
discjbvefy made me feel much more at
my lease. Being a bashful stranger,
1 was very much of a spectator, and
while I looked on I observed several
beaux, after standing some time si
lent, go up ta jhe ladies and say some
thing which 1 could not distinctly
hear* at which the girls set up a most
gracious grin. The beaux would
tiien retreat to their silent stand for
the purpose, as 1 afterwards found out
of obtaining a, reinforcement of ideas.
They would then ever and anon sally
out from the group aiid keep up a re
treating lire till their ammunition was
entirely exhausted. Among other
things, my attention was particularly
attracted by the manner in which the
girls undressed themselves to go to (his
grinuery. The busomsof their dress
es are cut infinitely too low.
1 observed too that their dresses
were as much too short below as above
Indeed the approximation of the bosom
and (he tail of their dresses is very a
(arming. For if they become nearer
neighbours than they are, old mother
Eve’s dress will become the fashion
of the day. They likewise lace to
such a degree, that they wreathe with
a wormlike grace, and grin for some
other reason besides that of diversion.
From the scene which was exhibit
ed on (his occasion, and the feelings
it. produecd in me, I draw this con
clusion for the benefit of the girls,
that fancy U more friendly to them
than the naked eye; for when (heir
hCanlies arc concealed from (he gaze
of Monsieur Eye, Madam Fancy will
make them out twenty times as pret
ty as they really are. This idea re
minds me of my dear Sally who lives
in the country. 1 was walking with
her last spring in the evening of one
of the sweetest days that ever invited
the ross from its germ; I culled every
(lower lliateaught lier eye, presented
them with trembling hand and palpi
tating heart—She thanked me with
a smile as grateful as the day beam,
I fiat breaks on the long night of the
Laplander.
As I was presenting her with a rose
hud which 1 thought emblematic of
herself, the breeze lifted the thin veil
from her neck to give me one transi
ent glance of her breast of snow.—
Believe me girls! that stolen glance
was far more divine than if she had
obtruded her beauties upon my view,
and the blush that mantled her check
kindled my fancy to such a degree,
that it painted her an angel. Girls!
if you would dress and be modest like
my Sally in the country, although
you would not. have so many fops dang
about you, you will have twenty real
admirers where you have one now.

CURRAN’s SPEECH.
Freemason's Tavern . —A party of
Gentlemen, advocates for a Reform
in Parliament, dined together on Fri
day in furtherance of the object they
have in view. ,
I he cloth was removed and several
loyal toasts drank.
The Chairman (Mr. Lucas) called
the attention of the meeting to the
business on which they were assemb
led; The object of their meeting was
to devise means for reducing the ex
penditure of the country by introduc
ing a system of economy in place of
that extravagance which now prevail
ed. This could only be effected a re
form in parliament, and the immedi
ate object in view was to give a safe
andsteady direction to the great work
now in progress.
Mr. Thorp (late sheriff of London)
briefly set forth the importance of
giving the people that weight in the
great councils of the country to which
(hey were entitled, and enforced the
necessity of proceeding with the most
perfect order in the prosecution of the
design they had formed. He then
read a series of resolutions which
were unanimously carried without
discu s om
The health of Mr. Waithman, the
the steady, and consistent friend
to reform was next drank with shouts

thanks, proposed—“ The immortal |
memory of CJUarlss Jssiss Fox.”—
This was done honor to, upstanding
and .in silence.
The health of John PhilpotCurran,
Esq. was the next toast..
Mr. Curran then rose , and spoke
to this effect,
Mr. Chairman, and you, (Gentle
men, be pleased to accept my most
respectful thanks for the honor you
have done me; an honor peculiarly
great on an occasion awful as the pre*
sent. On ordinary occasions superfi
cial civility is sufficiently rewarded
by an insolvent bow. And something
more is necessary in return for the
introduction of my name, at a moment
when the liberty of England is in
question. 1 come from a country
which has no liberty to be proud of,
and iff go back to it, it will be as to
the waters of Babylon—to weep.—
You have been pleased, however to
give one toast—the eaitae of civil and
religious liberty all world over.
When you drank that toast 1 felt my
heart embrace the negro—l felt also
that it sympathized with my own poor
country. Ireland, if It bad that toast,
would bless that generous prospect of
your’s from which alone can grow
our human existence— ( applause.) —
I am enthusiastic for my countrymen,
hut tny enthusiasm for them is not
surprising: My youth has been spent
1 amongst them—-my sympathy has
been stretched for them—l might
1 have sold myself at the market of
corruption, and grown into pride and
‘ wealth,and remorce,at (heirexpense,
’ but 1 preferred to stay below with
them in their humiliation—to mourn
their condition—to defend them if I
could—to chide & rebuke them when
a bold friend ought to do so. On their
behalf 1 (hank you for the gra
cious sympathy which has dictated
that toast. You will not find them
unworthy coadjutors in the vineyard
of liberty— (applause.) —l might he
disposed, perhaps, to trespass too
much on your indulgence, on a sub
-1 ject towards which my lieart will ne
ver freeze—the subject which brought
you together; but the sentiments I
entertain have been so much better
i j expressed by the member who spoke
i last, my old friend, if he will allow
11 me to call him so (Mr. Waithmats,)
1 that 1 shall only deface them if I at
tempt to pub them over. They are
I sentiments which a longer life than
• he has yet passed has rivetted more
i fir mly on my judgment. The awful
• subject of our meeting is that policy
s which, by its melancholy results, we
1 perceived has approached a crisis. Jt
i is written in tears in this country—it
has been written abroad in blood (ap
-1 plause.) —l remember the American
■ wap—l am not sorry that 1 am old
■ enough to have witnessed its crime*
' and follies, because 1 shall soon be
i removed from these scenes altogether.
. I saw then the graceless contempt of
human rights. 1 heard the assertion
> that men were represented when they
! were not represented; (hey behaved
s to a nat ion as a petty solicitor to a man
i when he enters his appearance in a
court, in order that judgment may
' proceed against him —fapplause J
(he admonition of Providence, (he ad
monition of the waves, which she had
interposed was of no avail. We dis
played our antic force and mimic fe
rocity; we kindled the fire of liberty
in America, and at that blaze was the
spirit of France kindled. Let no man
dare to say when he waves his w r eh of
policy—hush, (here is no God ! Yes,
there is—and by his law the crimes of
man generate in their own consequen
ces. their own punishment, (applause)
The French revolution begun—the
French would have been at peace
with us—as a man from them was on
his knees in (his country (Chauveiin)
he was kicked out. It will he tedious
to read & Clinical lecture on the pro
gress of (his disease—we have brought
it to an end—hut how ? As the most
ignorant quack might have done it,
we have buttled up the infection, (ap
plause).—Have we done any more ?
What have we done? The most glo
rious circumstance for (his country
took place at wir revolution. When
we decided, that in the time of na
tional calamity, the monarch should
not cling for defence to the base and
scurvy tie of legitimacy, (applause.)
Youraneestors saw what the monarch
would be, if he could only commit
crimes with impunity. They repeal
ed that odious law. The last war
was to repeal that repeal, to establish
(lie principle that the nation has no
power to judge of right or wrong;
that their decisions shall be set aside
by a gang of despots who have restor
ed a iadvd—no! not an exhausted—
a bloated, exuravasated dynasty—
