Cfh * Ron of Sharon and the Lilly of the
Follies. —Solomon's Song, chap. ii. 1.
>, Warriour, pluck the laurel hough,
And bind it round thy reeking brow ;
r Ye sons of Pleasure ! blithely-twine
h chaplet of the purple vine ;
And Beauty, cull each biuahing flower,
That ever deck’d the sylvan bower;
No wreath is bright, no garland fair,
iUnless sweet Sharon’s Rose be there.
,r The laurel branch will droop and die,
The vine its purple fruit deny,
The wreath that smiling beauty twin’d,
Will leave no lingering bud behind;
For beauty’s wreath and beauty’s bloom,
In vain would shuti the withering tomb,
W here naught is bright and naught is fair,
Unless sweet Sharon’s Rose be there.
Bright Blossom! of immortal bloom,
Os fadt less hue and sweet perfume,
’ r Far in the desert’s dreary waste,
• In 1 ne neglected beauty plac’d,
Let others seek the blushing bower,
And cull the frail and fading flower ;
But I’ll to drearest wilds repair,
If Sharou’s deathless Rosa be there.
W'hen nature’s hand with running care,
No more the opening hud shall rear,
But hurl’d by heaven’s avenging Sire
Descends the earth-consuming tire ;
And desolation's hurrying blast,
O’er all the sadden'd scene has pass’d.
There is a clime, forever fair,
And Sharon's Rose shall flourish there.

LETTERS FROM A DISTINGUISHED
PERSONAGE,
CETTER n.
&>,
In my last letter I pointed out a few of
the distinguishing marks by which mv fol
lowers will be able, in future, to trace in
one another’s features and conduct, their
mutual relation to me, from their subservi
ency to the purposes I am supposed to have
#n view. This I did from no motives of
vanity, (though few princes can boast of
subjects so nuDrerous a those who own my
■wav) as I am aware that the multitude of
my disciples is best increased by the influ
ence of gilent, unostentatious example. But
in the present state of society, I have no
fear that either reason or ridicule will ma
terially lessen the number of those who
act <m JOJLiiiincuiles; mVfen^ytyjfy*js ;
or religion threaten. Besides, the display
of preponderating force often supersedes
the actual trial of streng*h: and though I
should not decline the contest, yet perhaps
the le>s that is said about the principles
of those who oppose mp, thp better for mv
cause.
Though from vonr intercourse with the .
world. Mr Editor, you must have been long
ago convinced, even though the clergy
had been -ilent or> my exploits, of the vast
influence I possess over tbp minds and bo-;
dies of your race, yet perhaps it never en-j
tered into your mind ov°r what immeasu- *
Table spaces, and bv what countless millions i
lam adored a? a Divinity. Amongtbe fol
lowers of Mahomet, and even in Europe,
scow few are there who conscientiously
foll-'w the tenets of the Koran, or the infi
nitely more important doctrines of the Bi
ble! How few in comparison of those who
bow their heads at mv diversified shrinks.
Although no temples rise in your country
?n honour of my name, yet even there, nev
er was Divinity so extensively worshipped ;
and the number of my followers in (he very
city of London, has proved to a certainty
that the essentials of my worship anav he
Continued, from age to age, without the
formality of legal establishment, or the
sanction of a bench o*'bishops. Wherever
human habitations exif, I am venerated
and adored in a thousand forms. From In
dia ,o Iceland, —from America to Europe
my votaries appear >n numbers which al
most darken conception. My rites are so
simple, the duties I exact so accommodat
ing to all that man fancies of pleasure, that
in my system there is no need for bridles
upon conduct nor restraints upon character.
The European worships me in his exclu
sive pursuit of selfish and temporary inter
ests; and the Indian “sees me in the whirl
wind,’ and recognises mp in the storm.
How many myriads daily approach me in
the temples of l \tnity, bow down before
me at the altar of Ambition , and confess mv
power in the receptacles for the enjoyment
of unhallowed Pleasure! By millions I am
figured and revered as the goddess of For
tune; sought eagerly by crowds in the
shape of Fame ; and in all the courts of law
in the world, i am pictured with balances
tinder the form of Justice.
It i very well known that I am the pat
ron of all those who hold opinions which
tend to represent man as an automaton, anil
the world as a machine ; but is it not equal
ly notorious, that I give the chief impulse
to those bodies, so numerous in evrry coun
try, who substitute hy my means, their
own morbid feelings for the simple pre
cepts of what yon call your Sacred Writ
ings. Ito them make melancholy and au
sterity appear the indubitable marks of de
votion; animal feelings the substitute for
reason; and the dreams of a distempered
imagination the test of infallible truth. I
prompt the spiritual delirium of those who
■Mert that they re heffc'.ed by m*ted I
dictate all those discourses which teach the
doctrine (my own doctrine certainly) that
faith and feeling are superiour to reason
and revelation. In one word, bigotry and
intolerance are mine, “Whether they pro
ceed from the establishment that raises the
cry of “ no popery,” or the poor uneducat
ed arid blinded Catholick, who trust* to the
vicegerent of St. Peter for admission into
the eternal happiness of an immortal spirit.
But to return from this digression, which
may make many of my followers think I
am turned monk, or bigot, 1 may observe
“that one of my chief amusements is to pre
side over the ever varying fashions of fe
male attire. I taught the fairest part of your
creation, when excess had tarnished the
roses of their cheeks, to substitute, for tin
colour of health, artificial roses ; for be it
known, that rouge was first invented by me
to serve a few particular friends, who wer
anxious to retain the semblance of health
and modesty, when the substance has de
parted from their cheeks forever. I, i
concert with a few devoted admirers, load
ers of the fashions of Paris and London,
shortened the petticoat till it had almost
ceased to afford the shade of a fig-leal; and
it was I (with the best inl< niions in the
world von mav presume) who fiv-t hinted,
in an assembly of ladies, all my special ac
quaintances, that nature never meant their
lovely necks and bosoms, or even any pari
of their bodies to be concealed h> uunece*
sarv envelopes of silk, muslin, or lace ; and
1 succeeded in convincing them, & the thou
sands who have since followed their exam
ple, that they might as well shroud their
faces in handkerchiefs, as conceal a part
of their form upon which natifre had lavish
ed so much beauty. So kindly were my
hints taken, that, had it not been for the
affected modesty of the nth w sex, and sum
ill-directed effusions of popular feeling, the
ladies might, in spite of the climate, h tv
carried their dress, or rather their undress,
the length of complete nudity:
u * * * * * for lovehness
Needs not the foreign aid of ornament,
But is when unadorn’d, adorn’d the piost.”
In concert with a fashionable French
dress maker, I invented the gown with ar
tificial bosoms, for ladies who are deficient
in these becoming prominences ; —g-ave the
hint for cushions to assist the shape, for
those who required bulk in a lower direc
tion :—and invented a pad, which, had i’
been generally adopted, would have mad -
all the ladies in civilized Europe look as
“ladies wish to be who love their lords ’’
In short, all those pieces of dress which
make the fair seem other than they really
are, and are thus intended to deceive, are
the fruit of my ingenuity, and meant to for
ward my purposes; and l hope yon do .ml
think it illogical in me to c.onc’ule, tin*
those who adopt the deception assist nv in
my views. A plnrne of feathers at a m*' 1
night ball has waved more than on-’ pretty
lady into mv hands ; and ‘he anxiety to dis
- - - ‘HI - l*l-.
I need scarcely s av (hat (-.,r 0 the inven
tor.of all those delightful ami inier -ting
recreations, which mv enemies |, aV e nick
named gambling; that routs, and as
semblies, are mode- in which mv tv nr-hip
pers of a certain class pay ‘heir h image at
my altars; and that I am tlk ut disputed
patron of all those unprejudiced fair ones,
who, freed from the fetters with which vir
tue and religion have shackled their vota
ries, have, if your legend- were true, ruin
ed their present, and forfeited their future
happiness.
j The establishment of circulating libra
j ries was also a suggestion of nine ; and the
in:, r nation so liberally doled out to young
musters and misse* from these magazines
of instruction, is quite fr nay ta-te. The
imagination once inspired bv passion, an i
the heart melted by love, (and who won!*!
subscribe to a library that was not weii
stocked with tales of love ?) my business is
more than haffdnne. If a Damon want a
Phillis, I am not long in finding one to hi
mind ; and if a disconsolate damsel is soi/
ed with a sighing for a favourite knight, I
take care she shall not sigh in vain. In fact
I kooiv of no establishments where the
knowledge of good-and evil is more speedi
ly and practically acquired.
To conclude, I am the patron of all nurs
es, tutors, and gove'rnesses—that necessa
‘}’ aod useful class.o| people, whoso agree
ably relieve parents of the charge of su
perir.tending their offspring, and of forming
their minds for time and for eterni'v; for I
look down upon the sympathies of kindred
as a narrftw minded prejudice, and the re
lations of life, except in so far as self inter
cst and pleasure are concerned, as little
worthy of rigid observance. By the bye.
I am not aware that your antiquaries know
that the bear which suckled Romulus ur
really a woman, but metaphorically called
a bear, because she was only his nurse, not
his natural mother;—though I think 1 once
hinted this circumstance nearly thr>-e hun
dred years ago, to Henry Stephens tho
printer.
I am, dear Sir,yours sincerely,
SATAN.
THE COSSACKS.
The following amusing anecdotes of this in
teresting people are derived from r. work recent
ly published, entitled “ Characteristiek Portraits
of the vanous tribes of Cossacks attached to the
Allied Armies in the Campaign of 1815, Taken
from life at Paris, and accompanied by historical
particulars,” Sic. Speaking of the period when
they were at Dresden, the writer thus proceeds :
It appears that these rude people are by no
means insensible to the charms of r.msick, for
which they manifest a strong predilection. A
party of them attracted by the solemn peal ofthe
organ, entered a church while it was playing, con
turned fixed in silent attention. Its tones ceased,
and the officiating Clergyman commenced his ser
mon. Phis address, in an unknown language,
soon began to excite symptoms of impatience in
the strangers ; one of whom stealing softly up the
pulpit, unobserved by the Minister, startled him
not a little by tapping him on the shoulder in the ,
184
midst of hi* bmngue,and invited him,ns well as he 1
could by signs, accompanied by all sorts oi gro
tesque gestures, to descend, and no longer inter
rupt the gratification which the Organist afforded
himself and his companions Notwithstanding
the solemnity tft the place, thegravity of the min
ister and hi* congregation were m t proof against ,
this.attack, and it was some time before the tor ,
mer could so far recover from its ludicrous etieot
as to resume his discourse, : 1
“ Their fondness for musick was displayed on
another occasion
“A yoinig lady, of a respectable family, “<* s ,
seated ‘at her piano-forte, playing anu singing.
She was heard by a Cossack who was under ner
window. A* if enchanted, he followed the melo
dious sounds, pursued his way up stairs, irom
room to room, and after traversing several apart
ments. discovered the right oue. lie entered and
stood listening behind the lovelyniusieiaii, who,
half dead with fear on perceiving the figure of
her martial visiter in a mirror, w onld naturally
have run away. He detained her, and, in an tin- ;
intelligible language, blit with triendjy gestures, j
btg’ged for a Ua capo ; and, without ceremony,
fetched his comrades out of the street. Ih# mu
sick soon relaxed the joints of, the bearded war
riouis, .out, in a few iiiomeuts they struck up a
charming Cossack dance in the bt st room in the
house. The trembling girl was obliged to summon
up all her courage an t strength, that tier fingers .
might not refuse to perform their office in this crit- |
it at juncture. She relumed sincere thunks to j
Heaven when the dance was over, and was not a j
little surprised when one of the delighted perform- j
its, with-the most cordial gestures, laid a piece of |
gdd on the piano forte. It was to no purpose (
that the young lady refused it; the donors retired,!
leaving behind them the piece of money, which j
the fair owner will doubtless preserve with care, \
a> a memorial of the lovers of dancing aud musick .
from the deserts of vein.
o The naivete of these people were (was) ex 1
pressed in a very different manner towards anoth- j
eryoung lady, likewise of a genteel family, who, ‘
out of economy, and supposing her guests to tie
so inured to hardship as to be proot against all
sorts of weather, ha t directed that no fire should
be made in the quaiii is destined It them
I'hou. h the almanack had for soniedays announ
ced the return, ol alt-reviving spring, the Cossacks
experienced none of ils enlivening eti'ects in their
uncomfortable quai'"-rs_ -1 ossatisfied with the
plat, they sell, a m in quest -f of a warmer
lodging. It was not long before they found one.
i'his was the apai'inetil of ihe young lady ot the
house, Ah! here toatin -heri paid—stay with,
.dimsell. So e ti-tg, the reconuoitering parly
took i strong position against the cold in Mam
sell's room ; tliilin r all their baggage w as also soon
transported Mamsetl, unless she had chosen to
turn <io.se K too, was obliged to relinquish her
apartniei.-’ tv her gallant guests, am.” to procure
in ano’hnr the climate that she l ad quitted.
‘- A s. want-maid, groaning under ‘he weight of
a h r.- basket cf damped linen, met a party of
(.'os- i.-ks. i hey tmk the basket from hel, con
vin.-cd.her, bv their gestures, that they intended
j oo haf’ ~ and intimated by signs to the poor girl,
t- how thru.) v hi. h way she was going. They
n only .irried the basket to the mangle, but
},, :oed to tern it for a whole hour; and when
<h, . h ..j done, desired nothing but a kiss for their
pains.
“ \ f’os=ack, surrounded by a legion of boys,
w’ om be sometime* look by the hand, and some
times set a running, by throwing his cap for them
to bring back again, met a lad selling cakes. He
immediately laid an embargo on the whole stock
of tile itinerant trader, which he divided among
his merry companions, reserving for himself about
l a doze:’ cakes which he put into the pockets of
l his wide breeches. Whilst occupied in housing
| then;, he spied an elegant lady coming towards
—* ’ •!•’ r””*> arc
cakes, three at a tune, out of his magazine, and
■ offered them to the lady, half dead with fright.
; Mamsell, good !—Dobre,Mamsell ! said he, with
I a friendly smile. When, however, neither kind
wor i nor gestures could prevail on Jttamsell to
j accept the cakes, he thrust them into her reticule,
and respectfully kissed her fair hand, in spite of
j her endeavours to disengage them from his grasp.
The lady made a precipitate retreat, and the Cos
j * ack watfhed as long as she was in sight, with a
! look of concern.
“ The booksellers shops, where representations
of all the Russian nations were to be seen in the
windows, were always beset with crowds of Cos
sacks, who manifested the greatest joy in discov
ering themselves among them.
The Cossack Colonel, Prince G n , was
quartered with a lady of rank. The footman of
the latter, going out of the house one evening
about nine o’clock, observed a Cossack before
the door, holding two hoises. To his utter aston
ishment he soon discovered that it was no other
than Prince G. his mistress’s guest. ‘Good
God !’ said he, ‘ is your highness holding horses ?’
Yes; a Cossack who did not know me. just r.s I
was coining out of the house, asked me to hold
them for a moment. I did not like to refuse him ;
but the fellow stays rather too long. I have been
standing here almost an hour.’ ‘ Let me take the
bridle: I will hold she horses.’ ‘No; I rnut
keep the promise which I have given the Cossack.
A Cossack never breaks his word.’ Wtfilst the
servant was expressing his surprise at this kind
of observance of the word of and prince, the Cosack
came op, recognized the illustrious horse-holder
and threw himself at the feet of his Colonel, who
mildly said, as he went away—‘Another time
don’t stay so.long.”

From a late London paper.
Oi.d Bailf.v, Dec. 18.
William Walford, an elderly man, whose dress
was the remnant of better days, stood at the bar
of this court upon an indictment charging him
with a robbery. The poor man seemed to he no
common thief, and to fed keenly Ins situation.
The charge was investigated, and the wr< tohe
man by incontrovert hie evidence, proved to be
entity. He was called upon for his defence,
when he delivere 1 the following narrative, which
created a deep sympathy and compassioff tor the
wretched delinquent, who was himself overpow
ered by the recital of his sufferings. He stated
that he was a few years ago possessed of friends,
fortune and independence ; tint by an unfortu
nate speculation, he lost all that he possessed.
. His property was sold to pay his creditors, and
1 after some time, instead of being with a beloved
j wife and seven children in a mansion elegantly
1 furnished, surrounded by friends, with all that
| was necessary to gratify the most unbounded de
sires, he found himself in an. obscure lodging with
j his family entirely dependant upon him for sup
i port. He procured a situation, as clerk in a
■ mercantile house, and kept his family as decentl)
as he could: but his wife was unable to support
; the .sudden transition from splendour, and she
j eloped with a man who professed to be his friend
when he was in a state of prosperity.
The house iu which he had procured a situation
failed, and he was left with his children, and
withont friends or the means of procuring even
sufficient to eratify the cravings of nalure of him
self and children. In an agonizing moment,
when his little ones were crjii)*; for bread, he took
an article belonging to the landlady of the house
in which he lived (furnished lodgings,) and pledg
ed it for 3s. r I his trifle purchased food, and was
a temporary relief. Two davs elapsed, and he
i found himself and children in the state before de-
I scribed ; he took another article, and pledged
that for half a crown ; and at different periods
continued the same practice, till he had pledged
.property to the amount of two or three pounds
His land-lady discovered ihe robbery, and he was
j apprehended ; but he begged the Court to hear in
mind that he was not a thief in principle; no
i thing but dire distress would ever have driven him
to the commission of aiMinlawfui act. He could
not bear to see his children starving, and he should
be adding to his offence if he were to attempt to
deny that with which he stood charged.
The. witnesses were called up again by the
Common Sergeant, and interrogated as to the
truth of she prisoner’s statement, and they con
firmed it ; the pawnbroker with whom the prop
erty was pledged, said that he knew the prisoner
when he was in a state of opulence, and kept his
carriage and hi? country seat.
The Common Sergeant told the prisoner he
might rely that his case would meet the most se
rious attention, and the greatest lenity would be
shown him that was consistent with justice, when
he should be brought up to receive hissenteuce.

genial to the constitution of the stranger and so

our country must become great and powerful, and

under the belief that a well conducted Press is
one of the most powerful auxiliaries, not only to
