LOVE’S WANDERINGS.
Lore knocked one nigftt at the merchant’* door,
' ■ ho sat with his ledger spread before him,
And told the tale he had told of yore—
How the wiotrv wind did wildly roar,
And the pit’iles' rain was -tresmino o'er him ;
And h« begged for rert and a quiet homo.
Where the wind and rain could never catno.
The merchant oared on the bea* toons hoy.
Half smiling at his piteous pleading'-
Anil he said “ thonl’t anit not my employ,
Thv wild sports nhonld my peace annoy
\n el.l— -r-o a utan thou fin needing—
Thon wpoldst blot mv hooks .V confuse my brain,
Seek other shelter from the rain.”
So the urchin sf raved to the lawyers dome,
Where *he toil'd midst parchments scattered—
And swain he bew.red for a quint hotno—
And. weeping. said it as hsrd to roam,
Hr the wind and rain sog'-relv battered—
And ho said “ an able c’eik I’ll he.
The art of pleading I’ll teach to thee !’*
The lawyer mounted his glasses green.
Through which he erod the pleading child,
And he raid “ thine eye is wond’rous kpon—
Theu’lt suit not me—l d : s’ list tljy tnnin,
In spite of thy tears and a "cents mild.
Thou carat plead, no doubt, but as for law
For that, Lve never cared a straw 1”
’Tis strange thought Love, ns he flow aw#y-
That Law and Trafic should both dony
Th» simple boon so- which I pray—
But T’ll he tevenged on some future day—
The lawyer shall plead, the merchant sigh,
I’ve sued to them, nnd soon we’ll see
What a figure they’ll mako when they sue to mo •
So off he flew to an nttic near by,
Whence the pale la op abed a feeble gleam,'
There, tired with his musing*, grave and high,
The student tat with half shut eye,
Absorbed in fancy’s witching dream,
‘Twas j'st the time for love to come,
And dwell in tho lonely students home.
So the hoy prepared his wonted theme.
With all his naive pathos drest;—
And the student knew by the lamps pale gleam,
Tho seraph that haunted his midnight dream—
And ho clasped tho pleader to his breast -.
9o ’he bond was formod, and from that hour,
Love dwells in the lonely student's bower

RELIGION.
Man ill whatever «t itp ho mnv ho con
sidered, as well in every period and virisgi
tnde of life, experiences in religion an effi
cacious antidote against the ills which on
press him, n shield that hlunts the darts of
his enemies, and an asylum into which they
nevoy enter In eveiy event of fortune n
excites in his -oul a sublimity of ideas, bv
pointing out to hi ntb ju t judge, who,as
an attentive spectator of his conflicts- is a
bout to reward him with his inestimable ap
probation. Religion also, in her darkest
tempest, appe ns to man as the iris of ponce,
dissipating the dark and angry storm, re
stores the wi-.hed-f.ir calm, and brings him
to the port of safety.
PR' DE.
The proud hoart is the first to sink be
fore contempt—it feels the wound more
keenly than any other can. Oh, thero is
nothing in language that can express the
deep humiliation of being received with
coldness when kindness is expected —of see
ing the look, but half concealed, of strong
disapprobation from such as we have cause
to feel beneath us, not alone in vigor of
mind and spirit, but even in virtue and truth.
The weak, the base, the hypocrite, are the
first to turn with indignation from their fel
low-mortals in disgrace; and, whilst the
really chaste and pure suspect with coition,
and censme with mildness, these traffickers
in petty sins, who plume th-mselvcs upon
their immaculate conduct, sound the alarm
bell at the approach of guilt, and clamor
their anthernas upon their unwary and cow
ering prey.
LIBERTY or THE PRESS. -
Give me but the liberty of the prpss, and
I will give to the minister a venal house of
peers I will give him a corrupt and servile
house of commons—l will give him a full
swing of the pationage of his office—l will
give him the whole host of ministerial h. flu*
ence—■ ! trill give him all (he power that
place can confer upon him t • purchase up
submission, and overawe resistance ; and
yet armed with the liberty of the press, I
wll go forth to meet him undismayed ; l
will attack with that mi diPer engine ih»
miglny fabrfc l»e has raised; I will shake
down ‘from its height corruption, and bury
it beneath the ruin of tho abuses it was meant
to shelter.—sheridan.
MIND
The mind which, like the delicate leaves
of the mimosa, shrinks from every touch, is
ill calculated to solicit the assist inco of the
powerful, or to gain the favour of the great
Tile very looks of the prosperous it con
strues into arrogance; nnd it is «qually i
wounded by the civility which appears to
condescend,and by the insolence which
*»*cars tho form of contempt.
HAIR CUTTING
From the Confessions of a Footman in Black
wood's M*aa7i»e.
You may recollect, pet naps Mr. Editor,
that a number ofyeats af* certain Or
ders of Council (issued timing the War)
shut out the Birmingham manufactures, for
4 time, from tho American market. 1 iie
joy which pervaded my native town, when
tlirse Ordets were taken <!!, was bound
less. S >nte people i'.lum n hud their hous
es ; others blow ihcn.selves up with gm
pow 1(1 ; balls, routs, and concerts night
after night, were given by every family of
any eeutiljty ; and the six hackney coach
es . f Birmingham were bespoke for full
dress panic, sixteen deep. But, if it san
ill wind that blows nobody good, I am sure
I may say, that's a good wind witir.li blows
nobody evil; it happened, on one of these
evenings of general rejoicing, that a travel
ler, who was staying at the “lien and
Chickens” hotel, took .i fancy to require
til.- assistance of a hair-dresser
Fair niy sins not a single fisliion'iblc bar
ber waste be met with ! Mr. F.izzlewig’s
people were all engaged for tho next week.
M . T ttlcomb was sen; to; but lie “could
not come in less than two hours.’ At last,
the witter (who was to bring a hither,
whether he could get one or no’) bethought
him of us, and rau down with tho gentle*
mati’s commands.
Mr N ittkin’s, intimation prodneed an
immense sensation in our back parlour.
My master hau met with an accident tho
day before—he tv .s the real b üb. r ol
whom the stoiy is told, that cot ins own
thumb through the cheek * f Ins customer.
Our big ’pieiiii'-e was gouo out lot all the
afternoon, to deroiate tho young ladies, by
contract, <•! “Holl .baloo (1 ns* ’ boarding
school, i —the enfant perdu of the sets,
g.ars—was tho only Uispos-itlle fotce ! But
great exigences must be met with app-o
prinluexeritions of daring. An tutroduc
tion at the “ Hen and Chickens ’ was n
npprotunity not to be neglected* John
Blow-bell<-ws, tho blacksmith, who had
been grumbling because 1 was going to
shave him, was now infurtned that lie could
not be shaved all; and, wiih instructions >o
“ cut gentle,” and “ to charge at least half
a crown,” I was hurried oir to “ tho gen
tlemen at the inn. ’
The fort sight of my now patient set my
neiVi'S danciuy in all directions—Hu was
it huge, tall, brawny, red-hot Irishman,
with a head of hair bright orange, and as
curly as that of a uegiu. “ Cut my hair,
poy,’’he said, in a voice like the grating
of a wagon-whells ; “ and, you spalpeen,
bo handy, for it’s these tweuiy-fuur hours
that I’m waiting for you. ’
I had cut two descrip ions of hair in my
mm ; but Mi. M’Booth’s was neither of
these. In the smooth, straight lock, I suc
ceeded pretty well; fur could cut ao inch
or no off all round, and tell by my eye
when all was even. And in the close crop
of the charity-school, I was at homo to fa
cility ; for it was only tunning iho comb a*
long close to tho scalp, and against' the
grain, and cuiting .iff every thing that ap
peared abov it.— But tne stranger's h.ur
was neither in the lanky, uor tne close
hogged mood. It was of a bright red col
our as J have said before stiff as wire—
of au inveterate tight round cuil—and
bushy to f ightlulness, from excess of lux
uriant growth. 110 had started from Lon
don with it rather too long; worn it, um
romhed, on a three months journey through
Wales; and waited till be reached Bir
mingham, that ho might have it cut in the
fashion.
“Cut my hair, I say, you devil’s b ri ber,”
repeated tins kniglii o! the appalling cho
velure, imbibing a huge draught from „
tumbler of brandy and water, winch lie
was consuming while no diussed and rec
onmiiMKing, in a hor'ible voice, to sing
“ The Lads of Shillelagh, a Siicasuie
whieh my entiance had tor the moment to
terrupted. I• *b yed, tut with a triimdiug
hand ; the very fust sight of his head hah
discomposed ad my fuulties. I plunged
into the operation ot adjusting 11 as miu a
voyage over the sc«, without tudder or
compass. I cut a bit hen , and a bn then ,
taking veiy little offal a time, for four of
losing my way; but the detestable round
curl, rolling i selfop at the inomtui llt go
tile end, defeated every hope, every chance,
of regularity.
“ Thin tno rest,” blasphemed the fuffer
er, “and so leave it,foi I’ll not wait.”
This command put the finishing stroke to
my perp'exiiy. Thinning was a process!
entiiely past my skill; but a fresh t xe- i
cration, interrupting “ The Ladsol Shilie- !
lagh,” left me no longer any power of
thought. I hid seen toe business of “thin
ning" performed, although 1 did not at all
cotnpiehend it ; I knew that the scissors
were to be run through toe hair from one
side to the other wilh a sort s os snip—snip
—all the way, so 1 dashed on—snip—snip
thro’ the close round curls, quiie sur
prised at my own dexterity, for about a
minute and a half; and then, taking up my
comb to collect the proceeds of tho opt ra
tion, three-fourths of the mans hair came
offat ouce iu my baud!
What followed I h ve never exactly
beeu clear to. Mi. M’Boot, 1 think f, ft !
the sudden chill occasioned by the depai
ureof his head-gear: ..tall even s, lie put
Ins hand to his head and motioned to rise.
1 made a rush to the door, muttering some
tiling übout “ heating irons ;" but, as 1 turn
ec round, 1 saw discovery iu bis eye. 1
see him even now, with a countenance
more iu amaz ment than iu anger, standing
paralyzed beside the chair upon which In
bad been sitting, and rubbing bis head with
the left hand, as doubting if the right had
misinformed him ; but at tho moment who i
the thing occured, 1 thought only of my
escape 1 made but one su-pto t arb flight
of staus ; clung to the basket of a Loudon
coach which happene' to be starting at
the moment, and in live minutes, with the
“thinning scissors,’ still hanging to my fin
gets, lost sight of Birmingham— perhaps
for ever *
“My nativalaud,good night !'*
_ Libia. .
The following beautiful illustration of Li»e i,
from the celebrated Bishop Hebei ’s K rewetl
Sermon, delivered upon the, eve ol his depait
ure for India, to his pari-hioners at Hodnet,
in England.
“Life bears us on like the stream of a
mighty river. Oftir boa', at first, glides gen
tly do« n Ihe natrow cb.mm ! through the
playlul murmuring* li*’ Its brook anil
die winding of its grassy bmdtr. The
dees shed their blossoms over our young
heads; the fl avers on the brink seem to
eff-r themselves to our young m.r.ds ; we
are happy ill hope noil we grasp eagerly at
the beauties around us; but the s're am
hurries us on uud still our hanus are
empty.
“ Our course in youth and manhood is a
lone, wider and deeper flood, nod amid oh- .
jects more striking and magriifi* i< tit. We
are animated try the moving picture of en- j
jiyment and industry, which p issi and hi f .re j
us, we are excited by short-lived success, t r
depressed and rendeie 1 miserable by some
> qn.diy short lived disoppnioinieii'. Bui
our energy and our depeiid-mce are both
in vain. The stream bears us on, our |uy,
a,id our griefs alike ate left behind us ;we
m ly be ship wret ked bui we cannot audio.;
our voyage tnv be hastened but it ennm t

ate lifted up around u- and the earth looses
sight <.f us, and we take our hist leave of
earth and its inhabitants and of om blither
voyage there is no witness but the liiflnif
ami EternM !
“And do wt take so much thought lor the
futuie days, when the days which ire gon<
by iiavesirangly and unitor m!y deceived u I
C-.n we still so set uu iieart on the crea
tures of God when we film by so a exiiiri

ing inheritance but in homo of a better
world, and to whom even that vioild would
bo worse tiiah hopeless, if it were not foi
our L ird Jesus Christ, and the interest
which we have obtained iu bis imrcies ?”
It is doubtless hard to die; butl t is agree
able to hope we shall not live here for ever
and that a better life wdl put an end Hi the
troubles of this. If we were offend im

that the legislature of Georgia are in the constant

prove both of its plan nnd execution. The vol

which it was intended. In the appendix there
are a number of precedents or forms, which ap
pear to have been modeled with accuracy, and in
stticl conformity to the digested statues tiom
which they were drawn; and with ut doubt will
add much to the value and usefulness of the
