COWLE3. MACON, (Ga.) SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 16, 1838. POETRY. He quiet— di» ! I’H call my Mother ! As I was sittin in a wood, Under an oak tree’s leafy cover, Musing in pleasant solitude, Who should come by but John, my lover ? Ke pressed my hand and kissed my cheek ; Then warmer growing, kissed the other ; While I exclaimed, and tried to shriek, “Be quiet—do 1 I’ll call my mother !” Ke saw my anger was sincere, Arid lovingly began to chide me; And wiping from my cheek the tear, He sat hun on the grass beside me. He feigned such pretty plaintive woe, Breathed such sweet vow s one after other, I could but smile while whispering low, “ Be quiet—do! I’ll call my mother 1” He talked so long, and talked so w ell, And swore he meant not to deceive ms ; I fi. it more grief than I can tell, When wish a kiss he rose to leave me. “ Oh, John !’’ saiu I, “and must thou go i I love thee better than all other! There is no need to hurry so, 1 never meant to cull my Mother /” m—l cai-fc-a 'unit——— MiSCEL LANEOUS. From the Madisonian. “And study’d affectation came, Each limb and feature out of frame, While Ignorance, with brain of lead ». R'leu: hovering o'er each _/< male head.” Ti e absurdity displayed by some ladies to attract notice, and elicit atte. ton, is only equalled by their excessive vanity. Theie are various kinds of affectation, and they are equally reprehensible; but to me, t e most petty, disgusting affectation, is that of assum ing airs and graces, which is practised by those who wish to appear pretty, and displays the miserable vanity and nothingness of its prac titioners. If it succeeds in winning admirers, it is onlv among those who arc equally ridicu lous, while it never fails in gaining the eon tom| tof the truly cstimalle. Those who are “practised to lisp and hang the liead aside,” are seldom “practised” to do any tiling else ; the Lydia Languish manner of extreme apa thy they assume, does tiiem little credit, as persons born (or some wire purpose or real good ; and were I ever disposed to question the utility of the Almighty’s works, the only being l could select, would be a lisping, minc ing, artificial show, as sluggish and indolent as the snail, “ by some y’clcj ed a modern lady” There is not less affectation among men than women, but I despise it in tiie one, and p,ty it in the other. But the truly tedious affectation is that which pretends to sway the tone ot conversa tion, and in compliance with its rules, you must laugh when there is nothing to laugh at, and profess to think your companions very wittv, when, in all probability, they are stupidi ty personified. There is a certain fastidious ness of conversation quite prevalent, which bids defiance to good sense, and wages wai wth all instruction. I have known young la kes to emplifv an hour upon the end of their boa, or the feathers of their fan. who are realh ncapable of conversing seriously five minutes : md if a sensible subject be started in theii presence, it casts a damp upon their circle, and s the signal for immediate separation. Instead of carefully attending to persons of food sense, they amuse themselves with theii mpolished manner, their quaint pronunciation »r contrive to find something which, in their >pinion, condemns them as vulgar, illiterate oople. Did they listen to their remarks, they vould gain instruction ; but either their out vurd appearance, or some little singularity of vinner, render them at first sight despicable. External appearance should have somi weight; but when we go so far as to examine the texture of the cloth worn by an individual, as to the test of their good understanding, it is giving to wealth rather too much importance. Lie best plain common sense, the happiest ules of self government, and the least acquir d manners, are seldom found in the highest anks of society, but among the active classes, .nioiig those who e own industry and talent save raised them from poverty to independ ence, or among those who despise riches, ex •Cj t o far as they conduce to tbe comforts of fc, :ud whose dr vs is the lust object of their thought or care. \\ th what supreme contempt must the mentally great, regard such paltry distinctions those who like Robert Burns, “ Tent-leas, and want-leas Their roomy fire-side; But hanker and canker, To see their cursed pride.” M rv a slovenly Johnson, who though he may never write tlie “Lives of the Poets,” could write U tters to these modern Chester fieldians, which might rutile their self-compla cency not a little. But it is not the mutter w ith which the find fault, not having depth enough to comprehend that, they employ themselves in ridiculingtlve manner; they are either so conceit* and as not to attribute it to ig !no ranee, if they do not understand plain sen- I sible people, or so malicious, as to hope to con jeeal their ignorance, by throwing contempt | upon intellectual worth. The unrefined and harsh treatment bestow ied upon moral excellence, if it happen to be clad in a homely garb, it is not always confin ed to tlie foolish vain and effected. It is sometimes discoverable in superior understand ings, among tliore who have enjoyed tbe ad vantages of a polished education, and where we should be prone to look for sagacity, be nevo'ence and lenity, among those w hose ear ly instruction should have taught them to make allowances for those whose advantages in ear- Iv years were limited, and not to take excep tion at little conventional dc ficiencies in eti quette. or petty blemishes which arise from in attention. But among the truly good, as well as great, among those whose acquaintance is w’orth the profession, those who feel that “ The heart aye’s the part aye, That makes us right or w rang.” V7e shall find that charitable extenuation, that honest benevolence which seeks and finds the merits, that more than over-balance tlie petty defects and trifling deviations flora cus tom. R* A HOLT TACK OF CARDS. One Richard M.duleton, a soldier, attending div ine service with the rest of the regiment, in a Ciiurch in Glasgow, instead of pulling out a Bible to find the parson’s text, he spread a pack of curds before him. This behaviour was observed by tlie clergyman and sergeant of the company to which be belonged. Ti e latter ordered h,m to put up tbe cards, and on his refusal, conducted him after service, before the M yor, and preferred a formal complaint of Richard’s indecent behaviour. Well, soldier, said the Mayor, vviiat excuse have you to of !er? If you can make an apology, it is well. ,f not, you shall lie severely punished. Since! vour honor is so good, replied Richard, as to permit me to speak for myself, an’t please your worship, I have been eight days oil the inarch, with the bare allowance of sixpense •cr day, and consequently could not have a inbleor any other good book. On saying this, Richard dies' out his pack of cards, and presenting otic oft the accs to the Mayor, continued his address to the mag. istrate as follows :—When I see an ace, may ,t please your honor, it reminds me that there is but one God ; and when I look upon a two or three, the former puts me in mind of the Father and Son, and the latter of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; a four of the four Evan gelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John ; n ive, the wise five virgins who were ordered to rim their lamps, (there were ten indeed, but ive. vour worship may remember, were wise, md five foolish;) a six, that in six days Go< ’.rented heaven and earth, a seven, that on the oventh day he rested from all that he had made; an eighth, of the eight righteous per sons who were saved from tlie deluge, viz: ' Noah and his wife, and three sons and their j wives ; a nine, of the leper* cleansed by our; C. R. I IAN LETTER, PRINTER. Saviour ; (there weie ten, but only one offered tis tribute of thanks ;) end a tan, of the tea commandments. Richard then took the knave, placed it bo. side him, and passed on to the queen, on which he observed as follows:—The queen remind* me of the queen of Sheba, who came from the uttermost parts of U»e earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, as her companion the king doe* of the great King of Heaven, and of King George the Second. Well, returned tlie Mayor, you have given me a good description of all the cards except the knave. If your honor w ill not be angry with me, returned Richard, I cau give you the same satisfaction on that as on any in the pack. No, said the M ivor. Well returned the sol. dier, the greatest knave I know, is the sergeant who brought me before you. i don’t know, replied tlie Mayor, whether he be tbe greatest knave or not; but lam sure he is the greatest fool. Tlie ! oldier then continued as follows. When I eouut the number of dots in a pack of cards, there are 305—50 many days are there in a year. The cards in a pack are 52—s« many weeks are there in a year; when I reck, on how many tricks there are in a pack, I find there are 12—so many month? arc in a year. So that a pack of cards is both bible, almanaa and prater book to me. The Mayor called bis servants, ordered them to entertain thesoU drer well, gave him a piece of money, and said he was the cleverest fellow he ever heard iu aU his life. sam weller’s similes. “ I voulun’t make too sure o’ that, sir,** urged Mr. Weller, shaking his head. “If you know’d who was near, sir, I ray the r think you’d change your note; as the hawk remark, ed to himself with a cheerful laugh, ven he heerd tlie robin red-breast a singin’ round the 'coroner.” “ Don’t say nothin’ wotever about it. nia’abi/* replied Sam. “ I only assisted natur, ina’am; as the Doctor said to tlie boy s mother, arter he’d bled hitn to death.” “ Sorry to do any thin.’ as may cause an in« terruption to such werrj pleasant proceeding/ as the King said ven he dissolved the parlia ment.” “ Wotever is, is right, as the young noble, man sweetly remarked, ven they put him down in the pension list ’cos his mother’s uncle’e vise’s grandfather vunce lit the King’s pipe vith a portable tinder box.” “Not a bad notion that, Sam,” said Mr. Bob Sawyer, approvingly. “Just wot tiie young nobleman said ev’ry quarter-day, arterwards for the rest of his life,” replied Mr. Weller. “ Hows’ever,” said Sam, putting the letter in his pocket, with a gentle sigh, “it was to be —and wos, as the old lady said arter she’d married the footman, can’t be helped now, can it, Mary ?” “ Never mind—it’s all for my own good; vicli is the reflection vith vich the penitent school boy comforted his fcelin’s ven they flog.' ged him,” rejoined the old gentleman. “ In shori, Sammy, I feel that 1 ain’t safe any veres but on the box.” “How are you safer there than any verse else ?” interrupted Sam. “ ’Cos a coachman’s a privileged individu al,” replied Mr. Weller, looking fixedly at his son. “ ’Cos a coachman may do vithout sus picion wot other men may not; ’cos a coach man may be on the very amicablest terms with eighty miles o’ females, and yet nobody think that he ever means to marry any vun among ’em. And wot other man can say the same, Sammy?” A RARE CHAMCE? A western paper advertises for a gtiod practical printer, who would take the charge of the mechanical department of a printing office, read proof, make selections, scribble a aaragraph when necessary, reck the cradle, lig potatoes, cut wood, and go with the gals to singing school, and neighborhood quilt ings !!!
