282 jtfluCcsu To A U T U M N. OWFET Autumn! how thy melancholy O grace Steals on my heart, as through these fhadcs I wind : Sooth’d by thy breathing figb, I fondly trace Each lonely image of tli* pensive mind. Lov’d Genes, lov’d friends, long lofl ! around me rile, And wake the melting thought, the tender tear : That tear, that thought, which, more than mirth, 1 prize ; Sweet as the gradual tint that paints thy year! Thy farewell smile, with fond regret I view, Thy beaming lights, Jolt gliding o’er the woods j Thy diflant tandfeape. touch’d with yellow hue, While falls the lengthen’d gleam, thy wind ing floods. Now veil’d in fliade, save where the fkiff’s white fails Swell to the breez*, and catch thy dreaming ™y. But -now, e’en now, the partial vision fails, And the wave Indies, a lwccps the cloud away : Emblem of lif e ! thus chequer’d in its plan : Thus joy fuccecds to grief ; thus 1 miles the varied man.

We are told that the ladies arc now beginning to extend the length of their waists, and to fix the zone in a temperate region, equally removed from the ex tremes. it is fortunate that the female lhape is so pliable as to yield to every mo dification of elegance which falhion may determine, and to please in a form which a few months ago would have been iineer ed at as vulgar, and again to captivate with case in a dress which woulda-t pre sent be as much ridiculed in a polite af femblyas the purapharnalia of a female Hot t. mot. Thole Pigeon hearted lovers whom a smile is fgincient to enfiave, or a glance to captivate, mult be utterly overpower ed when, in addition to these long-tried weapons, they are assailed by the new in vented artillery of love—the irrefiltible force of a fair iad y’selbozvs. On lh: Propoftion of the Fngljk Minjler , to lay a Tax ufon Breeches. “ This Tax on our Breeches,” fays a thrifty old C it, “ Pray how do you rclifh, friend Sly ?” u Very well,” cries t’other—The Miniller’s bit : “ My Wife wears the Breeches, not ■. . , 1 IIT mmmm t L Taken up, On the :6th inffimt, at Sedgclicld, on the south fide of Great Ogechee, two miles and an halt iron) the Bridge : Two Red OXEN, MARKED R.
