POETICAL. mox th >: omon. “THERE’S NOTHING .HUE RUT HEAVEN.” When yon bright orb beneath the went, Descends in shades of even ; When all is hushed in peaceful rest, Tl.e soul aspires to regions blest, It finds repose in Heaven. ’Tis then all fleeting joys below, A while to mortals given ; Seem but the pageant of a show, * lie veil that hales a latent wo— And false '.—compared with Heaven. ’Tis then all cares, and sorrows hero, By which frail man is driven, As eveli.ng shadows disappear, And all within is calm and clear. Illum'd with rays from Heaven. Freed from this earth my soul Would share, The joys to angels given ; In br.ght celestial mansions where Blest virtue beams divinely fair, The glorious dawn of Heaven. OH, WEEP NO 1 FOR THOSE, &c. Oh, weep not for tliose, who have surd: to their rest, In the blaze of their martial renown ! Whose spirits have fled to the realms of the blest— Whom the laurels of martyrdom crown; Oh, weep not for those, who have fled to the bourne . Where the dust of their forefathers sleep 1 ■Whose relics repose in the rude lettered urn, Or bleach on the shores of the deep. Weep not for the tiead—the dead cannot hear— They feel not the sting of neglect j Their spirits have soared to their own native sphere— They need not the tears of respect. Weep not for the dead, but weep for the brave Who wander, forlofn and distressed, Whose sun has declined to the verge of the grave Who freeze on ixuiutitudf.’s breast! ?ROM HOLBORn’s DROLLERY. 1673. A scholar newly entered college life, Following-his study did offend his wife, Because when she his company expected, By bookish business she was still neglected. Coming into his study, (Cord, quoth she) Can papers make you love them more tlian me f 1 wish I were transformed into a book, That your affection might upon me look. But in my wish, with all, be it decreed, 1 would he such a book you love to read. Husband (quoth she) which book’s form should I take ? Marie (quoth he) ’Uvere best an almanack. The reason wherefore I do wish thee so, Is, every year we have a new, you know. MISCELLANY. “ to deceive the tedious time, And steal unfelt the sultry hours away.” GUESS W ORK. Now ye fair adventurers t*> the temple of Hyincu,ye who have bound around the hearts of men the silken cords affection weaves, ye who plucked the apple from the accursed tree, ye who first expelled the whole race of Adam from the garden of Paradise, and doomed them to eternal slavery, listen a moment to a few guesses from old Will, and attribute not to him a want of respect for teavingyou to the last; for, believe me, al though last you are not leusi in my estima tion. Put by your work, and rub up your spectacles, and read with care and delibera tion, and meditate with cautious circumspec tion, and if none of th* following guesses suit your case, look around and see if they apply to any of your neighbors; if not, then 1 hope none will be offended. When Isoe a wife-contradict her husband with the fire of indignation beaming in her eye, I guess she is ignorant of the marriage covenant, and destitute of love or even com mon respect for him. When I see a wife gossipping about from houso to house, spreading false and scanda lous reports about her neighbors, I guess she is a curse to the peace and happiness of so ciety,and will bring down her husband’s grey hairs with sorrow to the grave. When I see a wife fond of tyrannizing o- •er her servants anti domestics, I guess sli j 'estitute of the refined feelings which are v ,i greatest ornaments to her sex ; and would make a more suitable match for an Algerine slave-driver, than for a man of common sensibility. When I see a wife more fond of decora'- .ing her person with ribands and curls and trinkets, than of attending to her domestic affairs, 1 guess she is an unprofitable rib, and the heart of her husband will not rejoice in tier. When I see a wife so over nice as to he eternally scolding and fretting and watching lest her white floor, her clean hearth or her ch gant carpet should get a speck of dirt on them, 1 guess she is a continual thorn in tin side of her husband, and is no great comfort to herself. When 1 sec a Wife on the other hand, win can quietly sit down in the midst of dirt and confusion, with her own clothes half put on. qliftehod, with a hole in Iter stocking am. her hair like a crow’s nest, I guess she is an easy, can less, good natured, good fur no thing, sluttish sort of wife, and her husband Cannot praise her. When I see a wife and a mother fly into ; passion and beat her children, at one time for trifling or accidental offences, and at an other suffer them to make the most obstinate and provoking resistance without correction. I guess she is not fit to manage herself, much {css her offspring. When I see a wife always gadding abroad and never contented at home, 1 guess she i not a very domestic w ife, and cares but vein Jittle abort hcv husband and family.- 1 flinch in flic kettle, as a gallon of milk, be sides all 1 spilt. Notwithstanding the master’s argument, and, as lie thought, proof respecting the ket tle he was told, that as there was no one pres ent who saw the transaction what he hail now said did not amount to proof. The servant, who had been listening to the tale, and just noticed the observation ol the Magistrate, suddenly exclaimed, “ by my ghoul it is true, myself it was that saw ii done, and sold the same mil* afterwards. * The quantity of milk being thus ascertained there was no longer a diiliculty in giving judgment.—JVew-Fou ndla nd paper.

Baltimore Weel. y Magazine. Led yard's Eulogy on Women.—I h a v< al ways remarked that Women in all countries are civil, obliging, tender and humane ; that they are ever inclined to be gay and cheer ful, tiinerous and modest; and that they do not hesitate, like men, to perform a generous action. Not haughty, arrogant or supercil ious, they are full of courtesy and fond of society ; more liable to err than men, bill generally more virtuous, and performing | more meritorious actions.—To a woman, ei ther civilized or savage, l never iwldressed myself in the language of decorum and friendship without receiving a docent and friendly answer—with men it has been other wise. In wandering over the barren plains of Denmark, through honest Sweden, and fro zen Lapland, rude and churlish Finland, un principled Russia, and the wide spreading regions of the wildering Tarter—if hungry, dry, cold, wet or sick, the women have been friendly to me, anil uniformly so ; and to this virtue, so worthy of the appellation of benevolence, these actions have been per formed in so free and so kind a manner, that if I was dry I drank the sweetest draught, and if hungry, I cat the coarsest morsel, with a double relish.

J\'cw way of guuging the milk kettle.—In the Court of Sessions, in this town (St. Johns,) an action was brought by a servant against his master, for monies due for wages. The facts were these.—The man claimed ten pounds—the master said that only eight were due, nlicdging that he had spilled sever al kettles of milk, for which he must pay. It appeared in evidence, that two or three kettles had been spilled by accident, without any fault on the part of the servant—the Court therefore adjudged, that for these lie was not accountable—-but that lie must pay for one kettle which had boen spilled through carelessness. A difficulty now arose as to the quantity of milk contained in (he kettle. The inaster(and his wife, who were, in court,) declared it held two gallons, while the ser vant insisted it would not hold more than fix quarts. Not having any evidence who could decide this point, the proceedings were at a stand for sonic minutes, when the mas ter looking significantly * his wife said, •‘Teg, suppose I was after telling the gentle man the story about the kettle.”—after a little hesitation, l’eg replied, “ well myself don't care—out wid it.” The master being thus authorised, began—« Iflase your hon ours, last fall some gentleman came, down our way fronting, and axed me if I could sell them some milk—Myself said Peg was out milking, and as soon as she came in tlicy could have some.' Presently Peg comes in wid the milk, hut it was blowing hard, and some loaves blovVcd into the milk, and when Peg was going to measure it, the gentlman said it was dirty, (saving your honors’ pres ence)—Peg was vexed, and said it was no thing but clanc leaves, and took souff out, but they would not have it, but one of deni, (a very funny man sure enough.) said if 1 .could take Peg and put her head in the ket tle, he would pay for the kettle of milk, and *.) he put two dollars on the table. Myself looked at the money, and so did Peg—says 1 Peg, shall I,and laughed—-myself don’t cave, said Peg, and taix I up wid her in my rtns, and dipt her head in the kettle, and <he gentleman gave us the money sure enough. Ye afterwards sold six quarts of milk out ■ f the kettle, and your honor, (saving your presence) knows Teg’s head would be as THE SUBSCRIBERS H AVING been appointed Commissioners for receiving Subscriptions to the “ Building and Insurance Bank of Georgia,” give notice, that Subscription Books will be opened at the Post Office on Tuesday next, at 10 o'clock, and will continue opui every day, (Sundays except ed) until the last day of June, at which time the Books will be sent to Savannah—Orders from the country promptly attended to, and receipts sent, by the same conveyance that brings the or der Augusta, May 23,1818.
