POETRY. i 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 MINNA. 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.

It may be obse ved. that the legislature of Georgia are in the constant practice of repealing, alteiing, or amending laws passed a* their previous sessions, <o that without such a dieost, r.r compilation c<f them, as is now respectfully offered to the pot lie,it actually re quires a lawyer, or a pers. n who has devoted much time to the exanimate n and comparison oi , the ditf rent enactments of each succeeding ses 1 sion of the leg slature. to be acquainted wi.h a.l . the lavs whicharc offeree.

I have attentively examined a Digest of the Laws of Georgia, from I —JO t * 1820 inclusive, and find tho work is executed with much judg ment nnd accuracy, by A Foster, esq. of t'oluin bii county,. 1 have no doubt tho work will prove valuable to every oiti '.eu who fools desir ous to become informed of the statutes now of f >rce in tho state, and would recommend all jus tices of the interior court, jus'ices of tho peace, cle ks, sheriffs, i, c. to p. ssess themselves of the work as soon as published.

Sir—As far as l have yet had an opportunity of examining the manuscript copy of your digest, o‘ tho laws of tho state < f Georgia, 1 highly ap prove both of its plan nnd execution. The vol ume cannot fail to answer well the purpose for 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 work, as a mean (in the hands of the justices ci' the peace, justices of the inferior courts, clerk , sheriff;, voting pra. tilioners of tho law, and oth ers) in drying the above named laws into effect with greater facility. 1 am sir your ohodiout servant, PiERaON PETIT.
