VV hen a nympth at her toilet has spent the whole day, Array’d in her lute strings and feathers so gay, Her rival, the Butterfly, vain to excess, May be ju-tly more proud, if there’s in*, rit in dress: The pu> pie and gold in his plumage dis play'd. Than velvet’s more soft, and more gav than btorade. But, ot all this advantage of dress, you may see, That the Butterfly still is less lov’d than the B'-e. For the Bee, though he shines \yith no purple and gold, V et, provides a good lodging to fence from the cold. For his honey we love him, in spile of his sting, And despise the gay insects that flutter and sing From hence the coquettes this plain lesson may find, That lh** useful alone are the lov’d of mankind Let the foolish and vain at the toilet still Vl*, In a fruitless endeavor to rival a fly; V’ hen, if they succeed, like > fl y lor a day. Bj ImoL they’ll be p ay and with, and then throw ti ,twa>; But let ME, like the IV e, ev'ry moment nnpr* ve. And merit affection no time can remove. DELLv. AMERICAN FLAG.

JSCAA ES LYji n F.S c LYDIA GAM IXG HOUSE. “The Shark is there and the Shark's prey, The Spendthrift and the Le. ch That sucks him.” COWPER. ST. THOMAS. I will, according to your desire, g’veyou a description of one of the most destructive res >rts that ever was devised by the malignant genius of Satan. 1 The Saloon of “R'.gue et N ir,” is one of the most fatuous a m- og the numberless gambling shops of fire West Indies. On entering the apartment, the imagination is stunned b> tin* horror which bursts upon the eye—the terriftic laugh of the wins n rs, the hellish shrieks of the utilor t tin i te, and the half suppressed moan ings of the utterly desperate, give me Bit idea of an assembl-gc ot demons celebrating some dreadful triumph over human misery. There isobserv ed a Spanish Don, whiskered and mustachioed like ‘ancient Pistol,’and exhibiting the picture of avarice, re 'cage, arid every wi< ked passion fer metiting in his bosom—near him is some stranger, Heceed of his last tl-mblooii, and tortured with the pangs of unavailing’ repentance. A third group is formed of the lookers-on, who have formed most manful resolu ti .ns to resist the golden temptations around them, but who gradually yield td the irresistible fascinations of the pi.es of geld, so splendidly spread out on the long green tables. A marble covered sideboard is set off with a variety of dell mus liquors, whose stimul tting qualities are enhan ed by some m diemal preparation, which * fires the young blood,’ and hurries the deluded vis till! to destruction. A few evenings ago, 1 was pacing through the saloon with a friend, who was an ail. pt in all the mysteries of the gaming establishment; we bad walked round the t ircuit tables, when our attention was arrested by the moans of some figure, stretched out on a sofa in a dark corner. The lurid gleam which now and then llasned from a lamp on the features ol this unfortunate, presented one ot the most awful pictures of despair that ever convulsed the human counte nance. The ghastly paleness of his face was fearlessly contrasted by the jetty blackness of his locks, which were clustered about his brow. The sight was appalling—but we were fix ed to the spot by the interest which the hapless victim excited. We, at length overcome by our feelings, walked away, and as we were turn ing down the dark steps which led to a Solitary lane, we observed an object gliding by us in the greatest agitation. It was the wretched man whom we had just been contemplating. He stopt short, and exclaimed—‘young gentlemen, if you will be ruled by my dreadful experience, never again tn ter that infernal door—l have tins night lost the last particle of an im inetice fortune, and nothing now re mains for me but death*—There was something peculiarly impressive in the tones of his voice— ‘Whose sound though I should linger out more years, Than wretch e’er told can never leave my ears.* He rushed into the darkest part ol Hie long avenue, and soon afterwards Hie explosion of a pistol told us idcfi mile of lus tragic tale. SEE HIM. There he s'amis! The mouth of the drunkard, you may observe, on tracts a singularly sensitive appear ance—seemingly red and rawish; and lie. is perpetually li king or smacking Ins lips, as if his palate were dry and adust. His is a thirst that water will not quench. He might as well drink air. His whole being burns for a drain. The whole world is contrasted into a calker. What a snout he turns up to the morning air, inflamed, pimpled, snubby, and dirty, and with a nob at the end on’t, like one carved out of a stii k by the kmte of a school boy—rough and hot to the very eye, a nose which rather than pull, you would submit even to be in some degree insulted. A perpetual cough harasses and exhausts him, and a perpetual expectoration flow his hand trembles! It is an effort even to sign his name; one of his sides is cer tainly not by any means as sound as the other; there has been a touch of palsy there; and the next hint will draw down his chin to his collar bone, I and convert him, a month before dis solution, into a slavering idiot. A j dram-drinker—faugh! faugh! Look over—lean over that stile where a pig lies wallowing in mire.—and a voice, faint, and feeble, and far off, as if it came from some dim and remote world within your lost soul, will cry. that of the two beasts, that bristly one, a grunter in sensual sleep, with its snout snoring across the husk-1 trough, is as a physical, moral ami intellectual being, superior to you, late, Major in his Majesty’s regi ment of foot, now dram drinker, drunkard, ami dotard, and self-doom ed to a disgraceful aud disgusting death ere you shall have completed your thirtieth year. What a chang ed thing since that day when you car ried the colours, and were found, the bravest of the brave, and the most beautiful, with the glorious tatters wrapped round your body all drench ed iu blood! Your father and your mother saw your name in the ‘Great Lor(IV desp uh; and it was as much as he could do to keep her from ful ling to thi’ floor, for ‘her j ty was like a de* psi igh !’ Both are dead now; and better so, for Hie sight of that blotched face and those gLzed eyes, now and then glittering in ti tul tren zc, would have killed them both, uor, r-fter such a spectacle, could their old bones have rested io the grave. Blackwood's Mag. J 1 TRUE FISH STORY. A grand b:\tile was fought last week in Harps well river, Maine, be twe* n a shoal offish, some ot them 30 or 40 fi-et long, and 70 or 80 inhabi tants, armed wi'li muskets, harpoons and hatchets, and many other kinds of weapons. The fish were driven in to a shallow cove, and 76 were killed and taken. Many laughable inci dents grew nut of Hie contest. A Mr. Curtiss singled out one of the largest of the fish, and made a regular as sault. upon him. Armed with a broau a\e he threw himself from his boat astride a monster 22 feet in length and rode him a number of rods (..il the while cutting in him with tin greatest industry) before he despatch ed him. Classic story tells us of Avi on who was carried ashore on the back of a porpoise —but Harpswell is a true story & will long boast of their Representative, who rode ashore on the bark of a Grampus. This reminds us of an incident somewhat similar, winch occurred several years since, in our own Con iiecticut. Formerly great numbers of sturgeon, and many of them oi monstrous size, were‘taken at our sli.-td fisheries along the river. A few | miles below this city, at a fishing! place of considerable celebrity* an immense number of suad were ericios ed at a draft of the seine, and among, them were observed several sturgeon of great size. As they appro.* hed the shore, an honest Put, one of the fishermen was directed to go without the net, and endeavor to prevent the I sturgeon from breaking out. The: fish were now so near the shore that each sturgeon was pi vinly tone distin guished. Pat picked out the largest among them, and throwing himself astride him, plat ed Ins hands within his gdls. and attempted to urge him to dry land. But this was t.iking a liberty whi ti lus fish ship could not tolerate. He closed his gills firmly upon Pat’s flippers, and shaping lus course in a different direction burst through the seine and carried his iu voluritary rider, sometimes above the | surface of tiie water, and sometimes beneath, about thirty rods. After lie; had reached the shore which he waV able to do through the assistance of a boat, one of the fishermen asked him how he was pleased with his jaunt. ‘•O h!*’ replied the submarine na vigator, * what, a divil of a horse lit is for a fish—by the blessed Saint Pat- j ri< k, if it wan‘t for the name of riding I should rather go a-fut. !
