The night was lonr, and the murmuring train
Of slumber stole along i
And softly whispering o'er the main,
Was borne the sen-boy * song.
He sung of home, and the simple charm*

Be song of the joy a mother s army
And he sung the maiden true.

But eie the lamp* of heaven grew dun,
That Hag should deck her grave
The FnsiAJ.e watched the bcaiitious slur,
Aj o'er the blue waste it shone;
And busy memory strayed afar,
And fancy sigbevl alone.
She thought of bliss, and fnh'y homo,
And affection's smiling stnre ;
But ah ! fund love, and a husband’s dome,
That bosom should know no more.
For the pirate crew in revelry,
Had drunk to the dreadful deed ;
And the murderers ■Avorc, right jovially,
The innocent heart should bleed !
At the midnight hour was heard the cry,
The shriek of fell -rspair;
At dawn was hushed the billowy sigh;
And the pale moon glimmered fair.
But the wing-god saw the deed of hell,
Wiion the bends forsook the deck ;
He suw the barque, u< it slowly iell,
Till it sunk—a viewless wreck.
At midnight hour, when die sea-boy’s song

He heals sweet music steal along—
’Tis the moan of the hapless dead !
WOMAN.
Ye are stars of the nigh!, ye ore gems of the morn.
Ye arc dew-drops whose lustre illumines the
thorn;
And rayless that night is, that morning unblest,
When no beam from your eye lights up peace in
the breast.
And the sharp thorn of sorrer- sinks deep in the
heurt,
Till the sweet lip of woman assuages the smart;
Tis bar's o’er the couch of misfortune to beinl,
In fondness a lover, in firmness a friend.
And prosperity's hour, be it ever contest,
From woman receives both refinement and z"st;
And adorn’d by tne bays, or euwl'eath'd wilh the

Her smile is our meed, and her bosom ourpillow!

“Not the pure,open, prosperous love,
That, pledg'd on earth ami seal’d above,
Grows in the world’s approving eyes,
In friendship's smile und home’s curess,
Collecting all the heart’s sweet ties
Into one knot of happiness!’’
L.illa Rooan
Messrs. Editors : If I were compelled “ to
-give a reason upon compulsion,” for devoting
five present essay to the following subject, l
would say, that the frequency of an event is
not only a sufficient justification for anyone
to enquire into certain circumstances that,
may grow out of it; but to a philanthropist
like myself, it is an imperious duty. Who
are married, and who are going to be mar
ried. make up at least two thirds of the com
mon place conversation of this “signal Me
tropolis.” Indeed so frequent are" nuptial
celebrations, that conversation among social
parties as laturally turns oil matrimony as it
does on war and taxes among politicians, or
the rate of exchange among brokers. So
str lugly does this pleasant current set in this
quarter, that I very much hope L will bear
oft’every old maid and batchelor. Although,
as yet, 1 have not. worn the “joyful chain,”
still in my thoughts there is a “ huge liking”
to the good old institution. Whilstenioying,
therefore, the pleasure of my friemh~unly in
the more than “ feast of roses,” I would not
be neglectful of their future well being, by
forewarning, not only them, but all my un
married readers of some of the causes-of ma
trimonial infelicity.
Our illustrious countryman Fra:

married state, whose happiiosl ,
most part, made up hy the recij
charge of kind olH.-es; which, till
ill themselves, ull'ord a world oWpleasure
■when performed with that peculiar aflTection
which should always exist in tins intimate
connection. Hence, we at once see tipi in
dispensable necessity that a pure, generous,
and reciprocal attachment should he the
leading motive to connections of this kind.
It would seem that between persons thus u-
nited, no difference could exist or unhappi
ness arise: and indeed, 1 believe it is very
seldom the case. Why comes it then that
so many “souls are chained to eternal strifg?”
1 answer, 1st,-because they have been led to
■wear it by improper motives, the principh
of which in the present age, is wealth. So
prevalent is the love of money among, the
piejeut generation, that, in matrimony, it is
almost a sine qua non. Every body mils u-
gaiust it, but “ each likes a snack ;is well as
-his neighbor.” Lake fashion, it has the ma-
gic power ol rendering deformity beautiful;
of making old age and decrepitude assume
•the charms & vivacity of youth, and even co
vering vice wuh the celestial mantle of vir
tue. The feeble rays of intrinsic worth and
§ enms are eclipsed hy the splendor of its ra-
ience “ and mammon wins his way where
eeraphs might despair!” Nay, like charit v
“it will cover a multitude of sins.” This all
powerful principle of attraction, whilst it
brings and hinds together, minds of the most
discordant sentiments and dispositions, cor
rupts dud vitiates the taste and passions, and
renders a refined and happy union the more
impossible. If ,we were certain of the per-
J ietuity of its possession the gross und eartli-
y enjoymeut it aHbrds, might give some in
demnity for the sacrifice made in obtaining
it; but how uncertain is the tenure by which
{be rich man bolds all bis soul adores! how
often docs fortune, with all tlie apparent mat*
lice of a da'nion se.ein to exalt us, only to
delight in our fall!
Nearly allied to this are those motives of
interest or expedience which drug many to
the ultar, who are utterly destitute of e'erv
thing like a generous affection. It will be
perceived that in all convictions of this kind,
little or no attention is paid to the different
taste, disposition, habits, Etc., of the parties ;
those numerous springs from w Inch »’ow all
the happiness or misery of the married life.
As well might a mariner expect to reach a fo
reign port without compass or helm as a man
or woman to expect happiness who marries
from the preceding motives. The misera
ble dupes who arc thus united, may for a
time feel an unmeaning' happiness, but soon-
r or later succeeds indifference ; next, dis
gust, and finally among the more vulgar, o-
pen quarrelling and separation. What mise
ry on earth can he more exquisite than to
he thus closely united to a being, whose very
person and every action excites no other
utiment but abhorrence and detestation !—
It is hard to determine who are most fre
quently influenced by these motives, men >r
women. After a certain age, I believe in
stances in females are decidedly the most
numerous. It requires more philosophy than
falls to tlie lot of many women to act dis
creetly and disinterestedly oil a proposition
of marriage, when she is forever haunted by
the hideous spectres which perpetually fill
before the. disquieted imaginations of old
maids. When therefore 1 see an animal thus
guided hy the yoke of Hymen, I most gene-
ally think she is only doing penance fur the
sins and omissions ol her youth.
2d. The next cause of matrimonial infeli
city which we shall consider, is disappoint-
incut, originating from enormous views re
lative to tlic happiness and circumstances ol
this state. Persons who have formed their
notions of matrimonial felicity from the o-
verwraught pictures to he found in novels
nd romances, may not only expect to be
disappointed, but will most certainly fail to
lize tlie illusive scenes ofhliss therein por
trayed. Hence the unfriendly influence of
this species of writing ill this respect, parti
cularly with females, who, possessing the
reasoning faculties in a less degree than
males, are move apt to take for .granted
whatever they read, especially about love.—
The mind that can delight itself with such
love sick trash, is unworthy the dignity of a
human being. There is no situation in life
but Ins its peculiar troubles—even the most
happy estate of matrimony is not exempt
from them. Those therefore who enter this
state with expectations of a perpetual spring
of rapturous delight, are but illy prepared to
meet the bleak winter of disappointment, to
which all are as certainly liable as they cxi
Tho romantic passions of such persons, Ulus
unexpectedly arrested in their wild career;
like an undisciplined army suddenly assail
ed by an ambushed enemy, give way, arc
thrown into disorder, anil are often overcome
by a very trivial force. Do not therefore
look open your companions as angels or
godde scs, nor expect from them the perfec
tion ol’such superior beings ; nor as the he
roes and heroines of story, which exist no
where hut in the distempered imaginations
of their authors; but as beings like your
selves, subject to the. like infirmities of frail
human nature. You will then he prepared
to bear with their errors, pardon their faults,
and teuderly pity and support their weak
ness.
t)d. Though the parties may have been so
fortunate as to escape all th* preceding, they
are still liable to another and very frequent
cause of connubial misery, viz. u great dis
similarity in the taste, sentiment, disposition
and amusements of the parties. Were I ask
ed what I would most anxiously desire in
husband I would answer a taste of sentiment,
and whose objects of amusement were ex
actly similar to my own; whose disposition
was exactly the counterpoise of mine ; that
is, where mine possessed a bad trait, his
should posses*®l equivalent good one, capa
ble of averting its unhappy effect: for I am
persuaded thattliere are dispositions exactly
similar that would not agree well together.
What circumstance could interrupt, the hap
piness of hearts united as above r 1 Hut can
any real happiness exist where there is a to
tal difference in all these principles, united to
a perverse, unyielding disposition ? So far
from it that I very much doubt whether
there can exist any real affection. There
may be a considerable difference in one or
more of these principles, yet if the dispositi
on be mild and y ielding, the. parties may live
happily together. Witherspoon, who paid
much attention to this subject, has said that
there is a greater prospectof happiness m the
connexion of a woman of superior taste,- kc.
to a man of inferior, than where the contra
ry obtains. That women more easily ac
commodate their habits to those of their hus
bands than men do to those <>f their wives
This remark I thicik will be most generally
verified by every impartial observer. From
a.review of what has been said on this part
of the subject, we find that much depends
on the disposition. Tlie intimate union of
thought find feeling, which should exist m
the. married state, to produce all that happi
ness which it is capable of affording, must
produce something like an assimulation.—
This should be effected hy an entire yield
ing of one party in some instances, and by a
mutual giving up in others. Hence we at
once see that a forward, obstinate, mulish
disposition is of all others the most fruitful
source of matrimonial infelicity. In fact it
is the master evil spirit, which, like an impe
rial tyrant, whero.it exist, compels all the o-
tlier .passions to wear its livery. Most of the
other modifications and grades of what is
termed ill nature, are bearable, producing
only temporary inconvenience whilst the
heat of passion last; but wherever this ac
cursed trait is found, an angel might almost
despair ol enjoyment. This unhappy dispo
sition is very frequently the offspring or ac-
coinpanymcnt of mental imbecility, which
coders the situation of its hapless possessor
the more deplorable, as there is less prospect
of reformation Gentle reader! if you are
tied to such an one, from my soul 1 pity you.
Though there be little hope of a radical
change, yet something may he done, l.ike
a prudent and skijful damon, you may in
some degree elude the force of .4, storm if
you -possess a good disposition and discreti
on yourself. In order to which, much good
sense., patience aard prudence on your partis
necessary. I would reprove the conduct of
such an one gently by precept, and forcibly
hy ftKiunple. From this, as a general direc
tion, circumstance^ ana your own judgment
wijl teaeh you when and how much to de-
via,c. Be certain of one thing, never let the
conduct of your companion throw you into
a passion. Whenever resentment and
monstrance is necessary, tiu it firmly; but
without ill nature.
To conclude. To the unmarried I would
say, let not money or expedience iniluence
your choice. Study thoroughly, and make
yourself intimately acquainted with the taste,
I &tc. of the individual you wish or design to
marry. To the mameii, l would say, ifyou
have been led fo your connexion b) the al-1 box ; but smelling slightly to the deli-
ing objects of wealth or interest alone, I cious mixture, lie ■exclaimed, wilh dis
your prospects of enjoyment are very small
Ifyou (inu happiness, 1 shrill lie glad of it—
f not, your fate will he a just punishment
for your cupidity. To those who, from
wrong conceptions of the married state; and
to those who from cureless observation on
an artful concealment, have been disappoint
ed, 1 would say, though you are not now as
formerly the sole arbiters of your own for
tune, y t you may evade many of its impen
ding evils. Consider that human being; arc
ever subject in this life to human frailty .—
Make amends therefore for your disappoint
ment hy a studious attempt to please in the
discharge of all your relative duties with
promptness and affw’lion. Thus, unless your
companion he a monster indeed, you will
secure his or her esteem and kind regard ;
overcome the opposing difference of senti
ment, See. and Lisle those refined sweets that
this diviticinstitution was intended to afford.
OCTAV1A.
FROM THE HERMIT IN LONDON.
HIGHLAND HOSPITALITY.
With gold gems if Chilian mountains glow ,
If hlcitk uniWiarren Scotia’s hill arise ;
There; plague and poison,last and rapino grow;
Here, peaceful are the vales and pure the skies,
d trc.edom fires the soul ami sparkles in the
eyes. Beattie.
I once resolved to leave London for a
little time, merely on the principle tha !
‘ short absence urges sweet return;”
ind as t-t'iin, tlie famous epicure, hud
suiil that lie would go down to Land's
End to eat a John Dory fresli out of the
water, so did I determine to set off for the
.Moors, that 1 might see the game which
they produce dressed in tlie highest per
fection.
“ Put up half a dozen changes of lin-
,” said I to my servant, •• six waist
coats, same number of stockings and em
its, two pair of bools, and two pair of
slices, one strong and tho other half
dress, w ith one coat, as I shall travel in
my great coat and shooting jacket.”—
l’lius equipped, l put my dogs in under
my gig, took my servant and gun by the
ide of me; and set olf. 1 will say no
thing of my lour until I came to Perth,
l'here l was delighted with its localities,
with tlie urbanity of its inhabitants, and
with the easy, unembarrassed, uncere
monious hospitality of its vicinity. I
then started for tlie Moors in right ear
nest, loaded with all sorts of sporting
tackle.
1 remarked at the very worst road
side inns, built by government for the
accommodation of travellers, a degree of
unobtrusive civility and attention, of
kindness and of anxiety to please, high
ly contrasted to the officious impertin
ence of our London landlords and wai
ters,—the former full of consequence,
the*latter apeing the higher puppies on
whom they wait. We bad no “ Coming
Sir,” and “ Yes, my Lord ; allow me to
recommend the old hock, or hermitage,”
no obtrusive praises of tlie cellar, nor
scraping and capering like that of the
frosty-faced waiter at Long’s ; neither
bad we the bills as long in proportion
However humble the fare, the wine wit:
always excellent, and the charge reason
able.
I should have had pretty good sport
the first day, but 1 lost my way on the
moors, and got wet to the skin ; my strong
shoes gave way like brown paper ; and
I came back to the inn almost barefoot
ed. I called for some spirits to rub the
eoles of my feet with ; and sat down by
the kitchen fire, in order to change a
part of my apparel and to dry the rest.
In one corner of the huge fireplace
sat Jeannette, the grandmother of the
family, spinning, and singing an old mar
tial ballad, which sounded to me more
wooden and monotonous than the noise
of her reel. In another corner was
little ragged boy, reading Latin!! ! (for
education is every tiling in Scotland ;)
and in the third corner, a venerable-
looking, ruddy, silver-haired highlander,
in the garb of old Gaul, with a thick staff,
reclining on one arm, and a cutty pipe
(i. e. a short pipe) in his mouth. He
very urbanely raised his bonnet from his
head, and asked tne if his smoking was
offensive ? A courtier could not have
done it better. 1 answered in the ne
gative. As I pulled off my ragged shoes,
tic looked at them with an air of pity,
and exclaimed, “Heigh! heigh) Sirs,
what sort o’dancing shoon to cross our
muirs wi! Nile wonder an ye’ll hue
your feet sair I”
I notv.procced to rub the soles of mv
feet with a mixture, sis I imagined, ol'
gunpowder, sulphur, and other combos
tibles, which thdy culled Fairntcsh. Tlie
aged highlanc'er was indignant at this.
“ Fie, fie !” cr ied he, “ Lad, tak it i’your
mou ; it will be soon enough down at
your heels, without wasting and abusing
the liquor saea” I was going to comply
with his advice, hut the liquid nearly
choked me. It had all the smell of a
turf-cabin under conflagration, and was
as hot as the llanr. He laughed immo
derately at seeing me spit it out ; and,
taking two bumpeij s, in order to encour
age tne, and to pro ve that it was not poi
son, and tapping n, e goodnaturedfy on
the shoulder, he im brined me that it was
mother's milk to hi n ; that he always
took a bumper fasti la . and that a bottle
o't would nae frighten him any day. 1
saked his age.-—about I eighty. Had lie
always liveirso ? “ lY uch aboon it.” 1
now found that he win the grandfather ;
and that he often usee ’ to dance all the
night, with four and tne ntv children and
grand-children.
We soon got quite fam iliar and intim
ate. As 1 was proceedim ; in my toilette,
lie took out ids mull, atm! offered me a
pinch of snuff; but if. wa%\ not to be en
dured : 1 would just as soitn have taken
burning touchwood pulveri, ied. 1 there
fore literally let it slip tlm\ >ugli my fin
gers ; and taking out my gor’d snuff-box,
in which there was the hupp v mixture of
Etrcnnes, burean, macauba. land a Ton
kin bean, I presented it to tin ■ Caledoni
an. lie was tiagzied a iiuJi with tlic
(lain, “ It’s only lit for lasses.” liut,
recovering himself, and repressing «
blush, which "ns partly tinged with u
contempt of wbat hie severe and athletic
habits deemed ellcminucy, und deeper
crimsoned Crum n generous fear that lie
had offended me, he added,—“ hut I’m
Tthe same oblceged to ye ; wedinna un
derstand the nirk-mikeries o’thc toun.”
I made an excellent dinner on some
nmirfowl and a iiiutlon-bani, and di auk
my bottle of wine, with my highlander
by mv side (for 1 thought the old man an
original, and asked him to dinnei). He
iing me some warsongs, with the voice
ofaStcntor. I hey wore unintelligible
to me, being in Gaelic ; but lie explain
ed to me that they weic anout war and
love ; and as these two passions brought
impressive remembrances to his mind,
his colour went and came, und a jewel
of the first water glistened in his eye. In
the course of conversation, he told uie
that lie had been oot wi’ Chairlie in tin'
forty-fit e. Here he heaved a sigh “ for
the days of lang syne*” and, for a mo
ment, ids manly features assumed a con
templative expression of reminiscence,
n liich would not have disgraced the Ro
man pencil, nor tlie lire i in rliisi 1.
We parted good friends at night; and
the next morning, it was agreed that lie
sfio..Id lend me a pair of brogues for
shooting, and that I should both hunt and
fish, as shooting is called liuntin„ in his
wild country, and not without reason,
since a man hunts for game as well as
shoots. It was moreover settled that
jiis boy, meaning his son, a man nearly
sixty, snould be my guide, and that, in
return for the honour I did tlie old man
in asking him to dine, I should pass the
night at his cabin, on my way to other
nioors. The old man was to wake me
to prepare my welcome.
He came at day-break; and finding
my belt on the chair by my Uedside, ran
off as if ho was hit hy a mad dog “Do
nald, Rone, Moggie,” 1 heard him cry,
whilst he held the belt in his hand,
“shoot me, if we ha’na gotten a worn-
man (making two strongly accepted syl
lables of it) in bed instead ofa man. Nae
wonder that the pair thingy should be
sau worn out yestreen, an’ could nae
drink thewhuskey t” 1 confess that this
mortified me a little ; but i called out
lustily to. him for my belt, and assured
him that all people of fashion wore them
in town. For a moment, he looked con
tempt ; but, changing to an air of paterni
ty and kindness, he said, “ Sae, sue !
wonders will never cease. That 1 should
live to see a man wear stays 1 Wcel a
weel, Sirs ; but (turning to me,) my dear,
dinna wear the nasty things ; you n
weel made enough without them, and
ye’ll never climb oor hills ai’ sic whale
bone vagaries.” To please uiy old man,
l dressed myself without them, und it
proved pretty clear in tlie sequel that
they would have somewhat encumbered
tne in hill-climbing.
When I had paid my reckoning, and
received a thousand blessings ami good
wishes, to none of which 1 was insensi
ble, as they seemed to proceed from the
heart, I set forward with tlie boy of six
ty, who certainly was a boy to me in his
activity and resistance against fatigue.
My good hostess put in some cold moor-
fowl and a flagon of old brandy, for nei ■
tlier of which she would take payment,
observing, “ Thct my guidness to her
faether merited any kindness which, in
their humble way, they could shew me ;
and besides that, kindness to strangers
and travellers was as much their duty and
pleasure as their interest.” 1 heartily
shook my landlady by tlie hand, and pro
ceeded on my way, a little boy begging
to lighten me of my gun, until l came to
the first likely place for game
All this, though humbly and simply de
monstrated, is, the very essence of hos
pitality; the recollection of which warms
my heart whilst 1 am writing these lines
