Why am 1 net the gentle breeze That Joftly gliding o'er her face, Is Jure my charming fair to pleafe, And to her color adds Juch grace. Why am I not the plaintive bird , Whofe Jong affords her Juch delight ; ‘lhat whits his thrilling notes is heard She thinks not ofapproaching night. Why am I not the limpid wave , In which each cheerful fummer day $ Her lovely form fhe wont to lave, And like a Jportive Naiad play. THE FAIR SEX. The benevolent Author of the Uni verfe co>fulling only the bdppinefs of his creatures, has appointed a varie ty of means to promote the fweet union of love. Probably for this end alone be has conflituted ike difference effexes. And wh.it has he not done for the fe male of our own fpecies to make her amiable in our eyes ? All the mofi gen tle graces, tbeftveet ftniles of winning beamy, the obedient blufb of medejiy , the charming fear of dependent weak r.efs, and the tender agpnhenfions <f the feeling heart are for this purpffe appropriated to the lovely Jcx. By what fine proportions, what nicely r uddel features, what expreftivc eyes , what delicate complexions are inary cf then dtftinguifhed ! But beamy is .he leali of their prafe, for their's is the fineft ornaments cf the mind, fetje embellifhtd and humanized !y an habitual Joftnefs of manners, and km•: fledge coddled from the labors of the mufe-s.

Pity, the cl tribute of angels, and /; iendfhip , the halm cf life, delight to dwell in the female hi raft. How fot lorn’, what a favage creature would man be without lb • humanizing offices of the gentle fix. flow much are the manners J'ojiened Oj the delicate paffton of love I Is it net the lair cljett of his affetlions that he /Indies all the elegant embellijhtng graces ? Does he not imitate her po tijhed manne> s, and acquire, as it were byfympathy, her lender and de licate ft ailments ? After the endear ing union cf their loves and inter efts, where mutual confidence has removed evc ry at preherfion, what are the plea - fires which he may enjy ! Flozv are his cares, fofitned, his prtfpetts bright ened his delights enhanced by commu nication. L rg'ateful then would be be, fhould he reproach that amiable fex, from whom be receives, in ft me meafure, both his virtue and his hap pirefts ! A LAPLAND WED DING. The following account cf the method cf deciding on a marri ge between young perfons in Lapland, is extra tied from Fuller's Worthies of England\ a work which for the generality of its informatian and entertainment , is not So be excelled: — tf Here let me infer t a peffage of a cuftcvi in this barbarous country, from the mouths of credible merchants, whrfe eyes have beheld it. It is death in Lapland to many a maid without her parent's confent ; wherefore if one bear a fell ion for a young maid, upon the breaking there of if ter J funds, ThTJdWfoh t<, ~tsaT a day is appointed jor their friends to meet, to kebolH the two young tbs run a race together Jhe maid is al lowed in filartit gti e advantage cf a third part of the race, Jo that it is im peffibie, except willing of bcrfelf, that fhe fhould ever be overtaken. If the maid over run her J.utter, the matter is ended, he mufl never have her, it being penal for the man again to re new bis motion cf marric ge. But if the virgin had an aft At ion for him, though at firft running hard, to try the truth cf his love, fee will (with out Atalanta's golden balls to retard herfpeed) pretend feme cofualty, and make a voluntary halt before Jhe com eth to the mark, or end cj the race.- I hits none are compelled to marry a gair.ft their will ; and this is the caufe that in this pGor country the married people am richer in their own content ment, than in oiher lands where fo inary forcbed matches make feigned love, and caufe real unbappinefy.” Mr. ID Ikes and Dr Johnfon, were dining together one day at a friend's houfe, when the former maintained in converfation that there was no man who was not fufceptible of flattery. — “ 1 cannot agree with yeti there, Mr. Wilkes /’ Jaul the dottor, lc and I think fo well of myfelf, that ldo not believe that you would be able even to fatter ms.” “ lou ft:all acknowledge that I cun,” Jaid Mr. Wiikcs “ before we leave the table.” During the courfe of the dinner, Mr. Wilkes pa fed a number of compliments upon the doctor —quoted feme of his beft Jcnt merits— repeated feme cf bis favorite poetry— but the dottor, ccnflantly on his guard, gave no fmile oi complacency, and ap peared to be per feel proof to all the at h mpts of his epp nent. “Jmu ft con fejs” at length exclaimed Wilkes “ that I am mijtuken. Tou are indeed and c tor, Japerior to flattery, but 1 mu ft be permitted to fay, you are the only man that ever I Jaw who was fo.” A g'ow of coifctcus fleafure andfuperi ority fp.read over the countenance of Dr. fchrifon at the laft compliment, but it was immediately checked by a generalfmile from the comp any Fhe dottor Jaw he waj can ft, and acknowledged that no man. if properly aft at led, was japerior to flattery.
