THE JlfANIAC. /'
Stay, stranger, if that starting tear
la caused by sympathy forme;
Stay, if a passing stranger’s ear
Can listen to a maniac’s plea.
Once I had friends, that wept for me
When first distraction seized my
mind:
They soothed my grief, and mourned to
see
•Marta wildered, crazed, confined.
Anxious, they watched each placid look,
That told returning reason’s power;
Hope cheered them now, and now for
sook;
It perished—it revives no -"ore.
Those cares were kind; those friends
were dear,
But, ;.h! those tender cares are flown,
And friendship’s sympathetic tear,
If shed for me, is shed unknown.
Hear you the wounded larrikin’* moan,
Th,- faithful shepherd’s pitying sigh?
Humanity incites alone—
Such are my friends, and such am I.
Grieve I the skill I had before
Is changed for some despised employ?
No, ’tis that friendship cheers no more—
That social thoughts are doomed to
die.
P tike me to some distant home,
Where I may find a race like me,
Ex cept from solitary gloom,
Where converse wild shall still be
free.
See vou that stream that gl des along,
With fl wry glades and forest near?

Though mingled are distinct and

PHILIPPE THE FIRST.
Louis Pliilipe 1st. king of France,
was early placed with his brothers
und«r the instruction of Madame de
Goniis. At the age of sev. ntoe i, lie
was withdrawn irorn her e«rc; .id
his father, who was immensely rich,
provided him a seperute and splendid
establishment ns a prince of the blood
royal. We should not judge the ed
ucation received in private at the
hands of a woman and the laxurious
& splendid attractions with which he
was afterwards surrounded,calculated
to form the soldier, the statesman, or
man of a stern and self denying char
acter. His instructress, however,
pursued a practical system of instruc
tion for the strengthening ot his mind,
and habituated lo despise effeminacy, I tion he has lived
to serve himself without assistance,
loi'ortio'ion by that best of all modes
of travelling, on foot: in that manner]
lie went to Hamburgh; explored Deo-1
mark. Sweden and Norway, penetrat- j
ed to the North Cape, and within thir
teen degrees of the Pole, wondered !
in Finland and returned lo Ham-i
burgh; mixing with all classes h-i gain
ed a large stock tvf knowledge of man
kind. In October. 1796, he came to
this country, in pursuance of a plan
lie bad entertained of becoming a cul
tivator of the soil, and in c onsequence
of stipulations with the Directory ’or
the i el ase of his brothers who had
been several years in prison. The
brothers here studied the constitution
an 1 government of the nation, and the
sci ml states. Hearing that tlieii
mother bad been obliged to leave
France and was living in Spain, they
left this country tor Spain to see her.
Owing to the war they were not al
lowed to land in that country, and
took up their residence in England
On n visit to Italy he married Prin
cess Amelia, daughter of Ferdinand
IV., whose life had been subject to
reverses like his own, in the year
1809..
Such has been the life of Louis
j Phillip ae; and with such qualifications.
Iso well proved, he ascends the
! French throne. Since the restora-
in France in quiet
retirement, devoting himself to the
to sleep on a wooden bed covered | education of his children, with the,
merely with a straw mat, lo expose ! aid of his wife, and by his simplicity
himself to all weathers, to accustom
himself to fatigue daily by violent
bodily exercise and long walks, under
her tuition he acquired many branch
es of useful knowledge, was qualified
for the business < f life, and* hardened
to great corporal endurance. Anec
dotes are told of him in his youth
which gave evidence of courage, phy
sical capacity, self denying benefic
ence, ardor for liberty, disinterested
ness, and fraternal affection. He
entered the national service with
a command of a regiment in 1791. In
a few days after joining bis regiment
he saved a drowning-man at theljhazard
of bis own life; and being rewarded
with a oivic erown for this instance
of his eourage and humanity, he sent
a leaf of it to Madame de Genlis, and
warmly thanked her for having oblig
ed him to swim. She had also
taught him and His brothers to dress
rounds by practice in the hospital.
' a same year he interposed be-
\o infuriated populace and a
\hom they wore on the point
ying for not conforming to
constitution, and rescued
ot manners acquiring esteem. It is
•ctrdly credible that such a king with
such a partner of Ins throne should
tarnish any reasonable cause ol offence
to his people. There has already
appeared, however, some evidence
of dissatisfaction; and it would require
the gift of prophecy founded on some
thing else than natural conclusions, to
conjecture what will be the history and
termination of his reign.

would assign her, hv sensuality or by

her joy, all her happiness, in the mer
ited approbation of the man sbe loves.
