A BALLAD.
tlftoy c.:n 1 rot the new blown flower,
That decks my fair Eliza's breafl :
For ti.o’ it live but cne floort hour,
fi’ ho would not die to be Jo blefi.
Why am J not the gentle breeze
That Joftly gliding o’er her face,
h Jure my charming fair to pleaje ,
And to her color adds Jiuh gr ace.
Why am I not the plaintive bird,
Whoje Jong affords herJucb delight;
‘lhat white ha thrilling notes is heard
She thinks not of approaching night .
Why am I not the limpid wave,
In which each cheerful Jummer day $
Her lovely form jhe wont to lave ,
.And like a Jportive Naiad play.
THE FAIR SEX.
The benevolent Author of the Uni
verje cc>fulling only the bdppinefs of
his creatures, has appointed a varie
ty of means to promote the sweet union
of love. Probaby for this end alone
be has conjlituted the dfjercnce effaces.
And wb it has he not done for the fe
male of our own species to niake her
amiable in our eyes ? All the moft gen -
tie graces, the freed Joules of winning
beauty, the obedient blujh cf mo defy ,
the charming fear cf dependent weak
refs, and the lender apprehenftons cf
the ft Eng heart are for this purpife
:gpreprinted to the lovely fcx. By
what fine props? tiers, what nicely
r aided feat ures, what expreffvve eyes,
.what delicate complexions are maty
cf then dtfinguifaed ! But beamy
is the Fall of their praise, for their’s
is the flnejl ornaments of the mind,
ffe ethbellifhtd and humanized by an
habitual fftnefs of manners, and
hi: :yledge cold hied from the labors cf
the muss.
Their’s is the f raid Ice cf every mo
ral and fecial duty- Nil the virtues
that are founded in thefenjihuty of the
hu7} t are eminently their’s. Pity,
the attribute cf angels, and ft iendjhip,
the balm cf life, a slight to dwell in the
female breast. How for Em, what a
savage creature would man be without
bln hum.adzing offices of the gentleJex.
No w much ere the manners sos ened
by the delicate passion of love P Is it
net the hair of jell of his c.jfetiions that
he d nates all the elegant embellijhhig
graces ? Does he not imitate her po
lifted man net s, and acquire, as it
were byfymp at by, her tender and de
licate fniiments ? /ij ter the endear -
Eg union of their loves and interefs,
where mutual confidence has removed
even- ( i prehen ft on, what are the plea
fires which he may enjoy ! How ate
his cares.[oflined, his prefpells bright
ened his-delights enhanced bv comma
mention. i vg’ ateful then would he
be, fcould he reproach that amiable
sex, from whom he receives, in fme
merjure, both Lis virtue and bis bap

A LAPLAND V^EDDINC.
The following account cf the method
cf deciding cn a marri ge between
young persons in Lapland, is extrafted
from Fuller's Worthies cf England, a
work which for the generality of its
info) malian and entertainment, is not
So be excelled :—“ Here let me insert a
passage of a cuff cm in this barbarous
country, from the mouths cf credible
merchants, whrfe eyes have beheld it.
It is death in Lapland to many a
maid without her parent's consent ;
wherefore if cne bear a ffe ft ion for a
joung maid, upon tbs breaking there
of (fleer Jfixnds, the JaiJjion t r , ’ Y Tat
a day is appointed jor their friends to
meet, to behold the two youngtls
run a race together ’J he maid is al
lowed in fieri E g the advantage of a
third part of the race, Jo that it is im
pcffible, except willing of h erf elf, that
Jhe Jhould ever be overtaken. If the
maid over run her fuifer, the mutter
is ended, he mufl never have her, it
being penal for the man again to re
new his motion cf marric ge. hut if
the vi'girl had an ape ft ion for him,
though at frjl t tinning hard , to ity
the truth cf his love , she will (with
out Atlanta’s golden balls to retard
her speed) pretend feme casualty , and
make a voluntary halt before Jhe com
et h to the mark, or end cj the race.—
‘Jbus none are compelled to marry a
gair.f their will ; and this is ike cause
that in this poor country the married
peopleaarc' r c richer in their own content
ment, than in oiher lands where so
inary forcbed matches make feigned
love, and cause real unhappinef.”
Mr. If dikes and Dr Johnson, were
dining together one day at a fiend's
hotfe , when the former maintained in
couverfalien that there was no man
who was not fjceptible of flattery. —-
£< 1 cannot agree with you there, Mr.
ft ft lties ” sud the doctor, t£ ands think
so well of myfelf, that Ido not believe
that you would be able even (o flatter
me.” <4 Tou Jball acknowledge that
I can,” fa'id Mr. fHi Ikes ,£ before we
leave the table.” During the course
of the dinner, Mr. /Hikes fa fed a
number of com [llmen's upon the do ft or
—quotedfeme of lets best fentimehts —
repeated fame cf bis favorite poetry —
but the do ft or, ccnjlantly on his guard,
gave no fade of complacency, and ap
peared to be perfeft proof to all the at
t> mpfs of his epp nent. “ I muji con
fjs” at length exclaimed Wilkes “ that
I am mistaken. Tvu are indeed and c
tor.ftperior to flattery , but I mufl be
pern.itted to fay, you are the only man
that ever I five who was so.” A
few cf corf etuis pkafure andfuperi
ority spread over the countenance cf
Dr. Johnson at the lafl compliment,
but it was immediately checked by a
generalfailsfrem the company
the do ft or Jaw he wa* can ft, and
acknowledged that no man. if properly
ay ailed, was Juperior to flattery.
CN VANITY.—From Enso*.

one regards his p rfn \ that all his
