SAPPHO.
Sappho, the most celebrated for her
genius of id I the females of antiquit}',
was born at Mitylenc, a city of the island
ol'Lcshoa, situate in the iligean Sea. 'IT.e
precise lime of her birth is uncertain.—
Herodotus and Snidft*informs us, that the;
mme of her lather was Scantamlronymiift,

or Olois. According to .Sttidus, ll c poet

Sappho was so much esteemed by the
'inhabitants of her native place, Mitylene,
that they paid her divine honors after
her death, erected temple* and altars to
her memory and even stamped her image
upon thuir money.
Notwithstanding the amatory dispose
lion of Sappho, there is every reason to
believe that she was not favored by na
iure with any remarkable beauty of per
non. Some, indeed, infer that she posses
sed great personal aHraotions, from an ex
pression of Pluto, who, in his phatdms,
puts i o the mouth of Socrates the phrase,
>• the beautiful Sappho.” Out tliis may
veil he supposed to relate rather to tin
superiority ot her genius than 10 the beau*
y< of her person. Ovid confirms this

TIMES PA^T.
From llie Loiulon Moodily Maguzin?,
O i, for tlic days that are gone !
the gulden age of cocked hats; the.
Augustan era of country-dance ; the
apothesis of minuet! How well do I
jemember the first night ! venTured'
upon the latter genuine relic ol the
old French court. , VVJiat an awful
recollection have I of the trying mo
ment, when with a slow and graceful
curve of my arts, I Hist deposited
the t: iaugular beaver upon my pow -
dered l icks, pressing it down upon
my forehead, with a firm determina
tion to look fierce and fascinating,
ami yet w ith a tender and sympathe
tic regard for the economy of my e
la borate curls; somewhat in JLhe,stile,
recommended by old Isaac W alton,
ivhen instructing y«j to impale a
worm for angling; he bids you han
dle him tended > withal, and treat
him like a friend. The scented pul
vilio, which.the untwisted hairs rtv*
pioachfuily eifused, still seems to
salute my nose, and ilutter between
my eyes, and the dipping and swing
ing figure of my partner. With what
pride 1 led her to her scat, and what
a bewitching bow I Haltered myself
I hail made, when site blushed into
her diair ! In those happy days,
the next operation was a regular and
preset ving set,to,at the genuine old
Knglbh runntry dance; and the a
musements of the nights were invari
ably wound up by the Boulanger, or
Sir linger dc Coverlcy. One of my
nieces played me those exploded
(tines a few days ago, and what u
flash of rosy recollections did they
conjure up! Their music seemed to
penetrate Into the quiet caves and
groitoesof memory, awakening ideas
that had long slumbered umlisturb-.
ed. Meihought they issued from,
their recesses like so many embodied
spirits; and, fastoning their flowery .
wreaths to the spokes of Time’s great
wheel, they dragged it rapidly back
ward until tilt*, days of my youth be
came evolved before me in ail the fi
delity and vividness of their .first ex
istence. Then did I again behold
the rich Miss ii— , the sugar ba
ker’s daughter, whom my parents in
variably urged me to engage for the
supper dances, with many a shrewd
hint (hat a partner at a ball often be
came a partner for life; —mor was
her corpulent mother omitted, who
carried vanity as far as even to af
fect a slight degree of palsy, that (he
motion of her head might give a more
dazzling lustre to the magnificent
diamonds, with which it was thickly
studded. I see Iter now, at tier old
place in the card room, shaking and
sparkling like an aspen tree in the
sunshine of a white frost. 1 behold,
also, the bustling little old man her
father, receiving the tickets of ad
mission in ail the pomp of office,
with his snuff colored suit and the
powdered and pomatumed peak coin
ing to a point in the centre of his
bald head, 1 hear him boasting at
I » • "
Hie same tune of his wealth and his
drudgery, and declaring that with
ail th hundreds he had spent upon
ids hot houses and plantations at
Hackney, he had never seen them
except hy candle light. As for the
daughter, thank Heaven, I never
darned with tier but once, and my
mind’s oje still beholds her webby
feet paddling down (he middle, with
the llnuntering poi pus like fling she
gave at. Hie end. only rtcciropbshed
by bearing half her weight upon her
partner, and invariably out of lime.
Often have I wondered at the pati
ence of the musicians, in wasting ro
mii anil (a gut upon her timeless
sprawls- f lie was obtuse in all her
percepti ms, and essentially vulgar
in her appearance ; in the conscious
ness of her wealth she sometimes
strode to look haughty, but her fea
tures obstinately refused to assume
■my expression beyond that of inflex
ible stupidity. iVlmcover, she had
thick ancles, pudding hands, with
short broad nails, and in laiighin"*
»he showed her gums! She wav too
opulent., accord.ng to the sapient
i at. illations of the world, tu mam
any but a rich man ; and she sue
eroded, at length, in realizing her
most ambitious dream*. Her" I.US- ’i
band is a yellow I.(tie.nabob, rolling
in wealth, and half suffocated with
ode. Site lias three rickety children,
" bom she is ashamed to produce.—
With no more car than a fish, .she has.
a box at the Op**ra, and gives poivatr
concerts, in short, there is no lux
ury she i<> inevitable of rel shing.
which her fortune does not enable
her to command ; and no enjoyment
really adapted to hxr taste, in Which
her imagined gentility does not de
ter her from indulging.
\\ hat a contrast was the accom
plish d, the fascinating Fanny .
with her lovely features irradiated
with innocent hillarity, yet temper
ed with sentiment, and deep (cel
ing. She was all intelligence—spi
ritual— etherial ; at least, i often
thought so, as her sylph-like form

paid her his address, won her affec
tions, -changed his m.nd, and mar
ried another—the scoundrel! her
pride might have borne the insult,
but her lever could not be recalled
her heart was broken. Her fine
mind began to prey upon itself—lilt

frame gradually faded away, and a
rapid decline at length released leer

Ii u it.
Df.c-isiox, iti the sense .in which
I intend to use the term, denotes an
intellectual quality, it is that per
severance, ny which the mind is wrg
cd forward with constaiitancy ami
vigour in the pursuit of some valua
ble object. It is a preser.veiience so
resolute as to be uninti undated by
imaginary dangers, and -unchecked
by ordinary difficulties.
It is not a fluctuating and uncer
tain impulse, hive the sudden and
trancicnt, emotions of our animal
nature ; hut a regular and uniform
principle of conduct. It gives a
steadiness to the views .and feelings,
determination and pursuits, that cun
neither be overpowered by the
winds of fortune, nor diverted from
Us course by the rough worms of
adversity.
A man ol decisive character can
not long doubt the general direction
of bis aims, arid have once fixed his
plans and formed his icstdutioii, is
determined and unshaken.— because
decision i» always directed in its
operations by reason. It tak« s a
prospective view ol Hie ground be
fore it, surveys witii accuracy tue
difficulties in toe way, and decides
on, that course winch reason dictates,
I‘ersevereiice in :ny course not
sane- ioned by reason deserves not
Hie name of decision. For in*wpin
io‘n it is nothing but obstinacy,; in
conduct it is only rashness
a man of decision will always'
yield to the authority of truth, where
ever it is perceived. Vet In* cor
rect and unbiassed judgement deter
mines what sentiments are true, and
what course his duly requires him
to pursue. And in matters of im
pm tatice he will not, without com
pulsion, resign the office ol judging
ultimately for hmselt.— ih:s oilier
tiie author ol Ins being has assigned
him as in* prerogative, and enjoined
on him as ids duty.
The importance of deiision is e
vident from the nature of man, and
the man lest design of his creation.
Such is the indolence of man his in
disposition to vigorous exertion, Ids
vis Jueartias, that be always sinks
into coinpaiative inaction; unless'
decision in a greater or Jess de-rec
counteracts tins general .tendenev
ol Ids Halui c, and brings his various
powers into the proper employment
In .connection with that remark, 1
; observe also, that man was made for
action. The highest exertion of his
powers is necessary in every sphere
vii lite* lor the accomplishment of any
valuable purpose. From the con
stitution and situation of man, we
learn the will of Ids Creator, and tus
imperious duty. We may there
fore clearly iriVr the indispensable
necessity ot decision, to give Uni
term if y and steadiness, dignity and
brilliancy to his character; and to
enable hiuiito pursue with undevi
atiog intention, the career ad' duty
mid hotter that lies before him.
Ot the qualities which constitute
intellectual greatness, none there
fore is more essential than decision, j
I hough it cannot supply die want of!
intellect, its use cannot be supersed
ed b\ splendid abolitions or extefl
sive acquisitions. VV ithuut it, gen
ius itself ran make no considerable '
efforts, nor perforin any important
achievements.
We seldom, how ever, discover this
quality iu its mqst eminent degree.
15ut it is only in the instances vhere
i‘ oxi•At', iu tm* decree, that its effica
cy is the most illustrious. A more
•nodei ate share of it may enable men
. •« the interior stallnos ol life to
discharge the ordinary duties with
tul'-ralrtc success. But «vhere a
great amt difficult object is to be'a
chieved by human energies,an yn.de
viating steadiness of purpose is ne
ccssar, in its prose, utiun. History
furnishes Ulustraliou of the (ruth of
this remark tie,the irnprovemefits es
fected by able politicians, and in the
successful enterprise of renowned
generals.
It sei'ins unnecessary Ho pruye that
decision is essential to the character
ol the statesman and warrior, aiul
constitulVu Uie gi outness ol the hero,
and that if is requisite »t>• jytl tin* ar
duous tmp'oyments and splendid ;t
--ehieveuieols ofjnankiod. Let us a.
few moments consider its use to per
sons engaged in the private and hum
bie employ meats,ofstudi-ousr -esearvli.
.VUuly suppose, that of all men, die
student has tae feast occasion for the
exorcise ol a decisive, character.*—
They imagine that as lie has only
one unvaried course to pursue, no in
cident cun occur to awaken resolu
tion, no obstacles can exist to render
it necessary. 'l'his supposition is,
however, erroneous. The fef.me cir
cumstances that call for the mgii de
ne ace of decision is the, public em- 1
plnyments of life, equally require its
influence in the pursuits of the scho
lar. lie has before him an object'
th.it requires Ids .count ant pursuit, ids
undivided attention. He has difficul
ties to be surmounted that require
his highest resolution Persevering
industry urged on by a decided and
steady p,i pose, is therefore to him
essentially requisite. If he is not
called to decide on events that in
volve the happiness of others, he is
constantly deciding such as concern
his own dertiny. Tlve difference,
therefore, between his situation in
this respect and that of most others',
is, that in them a desisive character
is to be exercised oo particular occa
sions ; in him its influence must be
constant and unabated. If he once
heroines irresolute, he immediately
yields to inaefon. From the nature
of the difficulties (hataltend his pro
gress, it is certain, that if he does
not foriq wise plans, or if-lie fails to
execute them ; if he is variable in
his purposes or inconstant in his pur
suit; he may indeed frequent the
palhs of literature, but will fail of
gathering her choicest flowers ; he
may still traverse the fields of sci
ence, but will be little benefitted by
her abundant harvest.
In addition to this, the tim'd mind
does, and ever will see difficulties in
prospect, which are only phantoms;
and these imaginary difficulties often
have an equal influence on the resolu
tion to that of the most insurmounta
ble obstructions. Many promising
geniuses have been intimidated and
disheartened by these ideal forms,
and induced to give over the pursuit,
or to follow it with reluctant steps
and ineffectual efforts.
C ERVIN US,
GOOD HUMOR.
In a warm season, it cannot be in
.appropriate to recommend coolness
ot temper, and calmness of deport
ment. It is not the easterly breeze,
fresh from the pure surface of the
Atlantic • it is not the sweet luxury
ol the ice-housc—-nor any, nor ail
the safeguards against external heat,
that can arrest the fever of pas. ion,
and suppress the blustering efterves
ecu be of anger.
Anger is weakness, and injures
the strong. It is folly, and disgrac
es the wise. It is rashness, and de
feats the skilful. It is deformity,
and mars the lovely. It is excusable
in children—but a man in a passion
is still a child. If you must de an
gry, if the heat of your bosom must
evaporate in exclamations and curses
and the harmony of your features be
disturbed by frowns and distortions,
shut yourself up iu your chamber un
til the process is over. I ( you would
go through (his world withany thing
of composure, take things as you
find them. Yield your sympathies
to the deserving, your compassion to
the unfortunate, but your temper to
no one. Conceal your mortificat’on,
the display of which serves only to
gladden your enemy. The servant,
who excites your ansjer, is so far
your master. The adveisary who
draws down your imprecations has
conquered you. You yield to him
the cortroul which God originally
gave to yourself.
If you are an Author, above all
tilings, keep cool and good natured.
If you write in a passion, you cannot
expect your readers to be also in a
passion, and an angry writer is of ail
things the most ridiculous ; for while
words soon lose their heat, and die
i away of (heir own exhaustion, writ
-1 ings strive to contiiu* their asperity
in spite of time and better feelings.
II you are a Lawyer, and lose a
cause, .never be angry. The defeat
ol your client becomes your own,
when your temper is thereby milled.
If you are young, be *.ot angry —for

Host, by placing it it cocks iti ß ,

ger in Corn shrivelling, mam™)
this way, than pulling you,Slat
and taking the tops in the 0 „
mode. My com is husked m t
held arid the cocks doubled, and
they stand until fed awav during t
wi.rter aud spring—
eed lor your stock is mure than do
bled, and the manure more think
bled—the w hole is carried out in
pnl and May, on ray tobacco lam
and ploughed in ami the crop mu
improved by it. My mode ol fee
mg is to draw in as much into (
horseyard as will last the horses I
the night—in the morning the cat
go in, and aie feeding ihrougli t
day, nui ch of the stalk is eaten-tl
is continued ag long as thcfodi
lasts, and then we toed our hay
the top. Straw -ought not to be
ven to your stock in the sunn-va
—it will prevent the stalks from 1
iug cut fine by your stock.
My corn loft is fourteen fed
width—will hold about 450 barre

moulded and injured in it—lplac
a ventilator through (he middle;
since then I have never seen an

the old way of securing their kill

hear ricking or putting in largebi
in a house—it will injure ineitl
way—let it stand in the field a
feetd it away in the manner mentit
ed. If your cocks are kept on th
buts the foikier will not injure
speak from experience. Those «
will go on in the old track ought r
to let the dew fall on their tops
the field, but take them out as th
are cut, and thmch the same iti
leaving each end of their house op
that the air may circulate feoiv—
doing so they will cure quitegre
