ADDRESS TO THE STARS.
[From the Afete Monthly Magarint.]
Ye re fair—ye are fair—and your pensive ray*
Steal down like the light of parted day* ;
But have tin and torrow ne’er wandered o’er
The green abode* of each sonny shore ?
Hath no frost been there, and no withering blast,
Cold—cold o’er the flower and the foreat past ?
Does the playful leaf never fall nor fJe,
The rose ne’er drop in the *ilent shade ?
Say, coates there no clood oh your morning beam,
On your night of beauty no troubled dream ?
Hava ye no tear* the eye to annoy,
Jto grief to shadow its light of joy ?
No bleeding breasts that are doomed to part,
Mo blighted bower and no broken heart ?
Hath death ne’er saddened your scenes of bloom,
Your suns ne’er shone on the silent tomb ?
Did their sportive radiance never fall
Ou the cypress tree or the ruined wall ?
‘Tw*re vain to guess, for no eye hath seen
O’er the gulf eternally fixed between.
We hear not the song of your early honrs;
We hear not the hymn of your evening bowers.
The strains that gladden each radiaut sphere
Ne’er poured their sweets on a mortal ear,
Though such I could deem on the evening’s sigh,
The air-harp’s earthly melody.
Farewell! farewell! I go to mv rest,
For the shades are passing into the west ;
And inn beacon pales in his lonely height —
Isles of the blest—good night! —good night!
THE GRIEF OF JUDAH.
By the Her. William Muller.
Hush’d is the voice of Judah's mirth—
And Judah's minstrels, too, are gone;
The harps that told Messiah’s birth
Are hung on Heaven’s eternal throne.
Fled is the bright and shining throng
That sweird on earth the welcome strain,
And lost in air the choral song
That floated wild on David’s plaiß.
For dark and sad is Bethlehem’s fate,
Her v allies gush with huraau blood ;
Despair sits mourning at her gate,
And murder stalks in frantick mood.
At morn the mother’s heart was light,
Her infaut btboni’d noon her breast ;
At eve ’twas pale and wither’d quite,
And gone to its eternal rest.
Weep on, ye childless mothers, weep—
Your babes are hush’d in one cold grave ;
In Joidan’s streams their spirits sleep,
Their blood is mingled with the wave.

MISCELLANY.
From the Christian Register.
That “the house of mn'iroing is better!
than the house r,t feasting,” is a sentiment
remembered by all when the cold band of
sorts'!w is wringing the brow ; but the les
son is learned at the death-bed, and is apt
to lw? left at the grave. The voice that
should speak wisdom from the touib, i
drowned tn the closing of its portals; and
the coffin. B.id the monition descend alike!
into the darkness of forgetfulness. Death ;
is always clad in terrors, even when it is
the aged head that bows before him; but
there is something peculiarly melancholy
when his shaft strikes the young and the
beautiful, aod the happy.—lt w= not to be
expected that the ripe fruit should not fall,
that the full ear should not be gathered in
to the garner ; but not that the young and
tender bud, opening and blossoming amid
the sommer brepze, should shrink and
wither as before the blast of m!dew. It
was not to be expected, when the sear leaf i
of autumn is falling, and the foil blown rose
scattering its leaves, when the hoary grain
is gathering to the harvest, that the hoary
head too should not lie low.— But wheu the
arrows of the destroyer strike the young
m their youth, and the happy amid their
happiness, a nd those whom tte love in the
bloom of their loveliness; when the warm
tide of our affections as it swells purely up
from the fountains of the heart, is chilled
and chained in Us flow, how difficultly do
we realize that those whom we loved are
indeed but a the dust—how chilling the
feeling that the unotlered anJ unuttera
ble thoughts of our bosoms most seek re
fuge again in their silent sanctuary—that
our affections that rose pure as the exha
lation? of the river, like them before the
chill atmosphere,of death, must fall back
upon the heart in coldness and tears !
Such at least are the feelings with which
1 have lately revisited the grave of oue,
rendered equally dear by her virtues and
her suffering*. Jt is now between two and
three years since a young Englishman with
his sister, a beautiful and accomplished
girl ot sixteen, arrived in this country.
Having business to transact here,fc thinking
that a change of climate am) a air might
be beneficial to her delicate health, he had
brought her with hiur.; and having placed
her in a retired and beautiful situation, he
left her, to attend his bnsiness in another
part of the country.—But I soon learned]
that this interesting and beautiful female, ,
was the victim ot that disease which in its j
desolating march sweeps so many of the j
young and the beautiful to the grave. Con
sumption had fastened upon her delicate
frame; and though for a tune it appeared
to have been checked, it suddenly re-ap
peared with all the symptoms of rapid and
speedy dissolution. Her brother was im
mediately#nt for, but the letters did not
reach him till it was too late. I then learn
ed t 10 that she had a lover whose anxiety
for h>r health had induced him to leave
hi* country to follow her here, and that he
was now actually on his passage.
Her nit-nation was now truly distressing;
her brother absent, her lover not yet ar
rived, a stranger in a strange land, the hand
of death upon her nod conscious that it was 1
dealing wilh her—vet never did a tnur 1
mur escape her lips. I visited her con
stantly, till I thought her too ill to receive j
nae, when I reluctantly discontinued my
visits tilt informed that she bad eiprevsed {
regret at my absence. I immediately :
called lo see her. She was sitting in aj
chair, her head reclining on the back with
that unnatural but beautiful bloom so pe-,
culiar to the disease. Her eye kindled lor 1
a moment as 1 entered. “This is kind,”)
said she. I approached and took the hand
whose beauty was already wasted into the l
ghastly semblance of a skeleton. “ This i
n indeed kiod.”—“ I feel a stranger in j
yoor country, but I shall soon go borne.”
I could only reply by pressing the hand I
held—my heart whs too full for utter
ance. “I do uot fear death,” she continu
ed, “for I am in the hands of that mercitui
Providence which has ever been kind to
me; but I feel that I could meet it with
more composure, under the roof, and amid
the friends of my childhood.” “Those
trees,” and 9he pointed to some oaks that
were waving before the open window,
“ those trees are beautiful, but they are
no! the trees of England—of my home.”
“ I would now give more to see the elms
that stand before my father’s door, the
garden which I have so often played,
any thing that belonged to home, even to
the moss upon its roof, or the frost upon its
windows, than all your lakes, and cataracts,
and mountains.” I cautioned her forspeak
mg so much, fearing it would exhaust her.
“Oh no! she replied—if erer you area
stranger, dying in a strange land, you will
know liovt delightful it is to think, to speak
of home. ” —“You may receive every at
tention of skilful physicians, and kind
friends, but the heart will yearn for the
tenderness of a mother’s love—the look
(hat soothes the pain which medicines can
’ not reach—that arms the affections of na
ture against its sufferings.”—“You will
theu learn how different are the attentions
we owe to motives of kindness and duty,
from thoe which the heart offer, and the
heart receives.” After a pause she comm
ued—“ This dying among strangers is in
deed dying. If you could know bow the
hpart turns from all the attentions they of
fer, to all that they cannot bestow —from
the looks of pity that surround us, to the
looks oflove that are faraway; that have
watched and wept over our cradle, but may
not watch and weep over our tomb—to
feel the agony of those, who with mute
and anxious eye will watch in vain for our
return—to think how that eye will grow
dim, and that cheek pale at (he thought
that the conflict is indeed over, and the
rhihl has fallen, nnshielded by the buckler
of a mother’s love—to he denied in death,
the kind look of that only love that was
unchanged aud unchangeable through life
—to feel the ties of this world drawn clo
ser pound the heart, at the moment they
are to he severed forever—imagine all
j this, and you will still have but a faint idea
! of the feelings of a dying exile.”
The next morning 1 went early to visit
| her. ! found her still sitting in her chair
j but evidently more weak and exhausted.
| The bright eye and unnatural bloom were
[still there, but her countenance was more
sunk and hollow. She smiled when she
saw me enter, and motioning me to her,
told me in a voice much more feeble than
1 had before koowc it, that I had come to
bid her farewell ; and pointing to the sea
which was visible from the window near
which she satp, she added in a half playful
manner, “ I shall soon embark. I feel that
1 have seen the sun rise for the last time,
and have pleased myself with the thought
that it is the same sun that shines on home.
: 1 sit and watch the waters and the breeze,&
| the clouds that come from the east, as if
they could tell me of England and those I
love. It seems hard to our weak nature,
she resumed, after a pause, to be summoned
so early to leave this beautiful world, yet
I regret it more for my friends than for
myself. I desire to feel resigued to the
dealings of Providence in all my sufferings,
and trust I can Ray, “not my will but thine
O God be done.” Then giving to me a
small packet of letters she added, “you
will deliver this.” Then drawing me
nearer and lowering her voice, she contin
ued with some hesitation, “ There is on.p to
whom my affections were pledged, to whom
my hand should have been given. I fear mosl
for him. I dare ont think how he will re
ceive the tidings of my death, lie is al
ready on his passage to this country, and
will soon be here. Promise roe never to
part with this letter but into his hand.” 1
promised. “ One thing more,” she added,
and she showed me a small miniature por
trail of her lover. “It was his first gift,”
said she, “ and I promised never to part
with it. When I am dead lay it on my
heart, and let it he tmried with me. He
will visit my grave when becomes; then
tell him that I loved him to the last. Pro
mise this.” I promised. It is enough, she
said, “now place me <0 that I can see the
waters. He will come from thence ; tell
1 him that all my last thoughts which were
I not claimed by heaven were on home and
1 him.” In this situation she expired.
! I have since redeemed my pledge. The
j portrait of her lover was buried with her.
I visited her grave with him, and delivered
the message she had dictaled. But the
blow was fatal to one already labouring un
| der feeble health. The canker-worm too
was in hit heart, and the lover now sleeps
at the side of his mistress.

other professions, and to receive an equivalent for
their labours.
[lf a General Convention were lobe held of nil
: the proprietors of Publick Journals in the United

resolutions which would make their labours at
once more useful to the publitk and to then selves.
As the vocation now stands, the situation of u
; publisher of a newspaper, except a few cases in
: the commercial cities, is one of pain ami depen-
I dence, instead of being one of ease and indepen

j thing, as they are required to pay at short credits
j and punctually, for all the materials they use, for
wages, and for their own maintenance, to exact
payment from others a* rigidly. But this is uo

TRAIT OF CHARACTER.
The following, from the latest London papers,
exhibits a truly characteristick truit of Lafayette :
The committee of the Association for the re
lief of the French Refugees, had a meeting at
Guildhall, London, March the 4th, at which a
letter from Gen. Lafayette, dated Washington,
Jan. 8, was read. It was written in French, the
translation of which is as follows:
‘ My proscribed fellow citizens, who are form
ed into a committee to assist each other, and who
have often received the expression of my best
wishes, will now, 1 trust, allow me to profit by
the first opportunity, in which 1 can add some
thing to the tributes of friendship which have al
ready reached them. My personal friend, Mr.
Rush, will receive $2,000 which 1 have requested
the hank of tie U. States to transmit to triin, to
be handed o er to those of my fellorw citizens
who are r ntru-ted with the relief of the proscribed
natives ofFratce, and I fully reiy upon the judi
cious disposal of the amount. 1 beg of them all
to accept the assurances of my best wishes and
of uiy friendship. 4 LAFAYETTE.’
This letter is addressed—“ .2 Messieurs du
Comite Francois pour les affaires des Patriots
proscrils hors de leux pais.” In a subsequent
letter it was announced that the venerable gen
eral had transmitted S2OO for the relief of the
Spanish, and 200 for the Italian refugees.
HABIT.
To illustrate the force of habit, an old story
is told of the inhabitants of a certain town, who
had long been accustomed to carry, in pailfuls, all
the water necessary for dnmestick use, from a
river a quarter of a miie distant, and w ho, after
the water bad been brought into the town by
means of an aqueduct, still continued to bring
their pailfuls from the river. Anew story told
in a late number of the Quarterly Review,is equal
ly striking and more credible. The practice
which the negroes of Jamaica had of carrying
their burdens on their heads, was thought to be
injurious to their jeonstitutions, and to save the
health of their slaves, many of the planters used
wheelbarrows. Some of the negroes used these
vehicles in the proper manner; but so stroug
was the force of habit, others placed the loaded
wheelbarrow on their heads.
“Sir Henry Saville,” says old Aubrey, “ could
not abide witts; when a young scholar was re
commended to him for a good witt—Out upon
him, I’ll have nothing to do with him ; give me
the plodding student. If I would look for witts,
I would goe to Newgate—there be the witts.”

GRAMMATICAL TAUTOLOGY.
I’ll prove the word that 1 haTe made my theme,
Is that that may be doubled without blame ;
And that that that , thus trebled I may use,
And that that that that criticks may abuse,
May be correct. Farther—the done to bother—
Five thats may closely follow one another!
For be it known, that we may safely write,
Or say, that that that that that that follow’d
Through six repeats, the Grammar’s rule has
hallow’d ;
And that that that (that that that that began)
Repeated seven times is right—Deuy’t who can.
