Sparkling with Light. BV J. H: AIRMAN. Sparkling with light is the water bright. That flows from the gurgling fountain ; Clear in its stream as the rosy beam Os the sun that gilds the mountain. Chorus. % Then drink your fill of the grateful till, And leave the cup of sorrow; Tho’ it shine to-night in itsgleamy light, 'Twill sting thee on the morrow. Sweet is each drop as it gushes up From the bed ol'the cool spring flowing; It will not stay, but goes its way, Health, wealth, and joy bestowing, Chorus. —Then drink your fill, &c. Touch not the wine tho’ it brightly shine, When nature to man has given A gift so sweet his wants to meet, A bev’rage that flows from heav’n, Chorus. —Then drink your fill, &c. From the Baltimore Clipper. I am Free. lam free, I am free, I have broken the chain Which bound me to Bacchus and fettered my soul; Oil! never, no never shall I e’er again Indulge in the dark dreary dreams oft he bowl, Tho demon hath fallen, his power is pass'd, My heart feels no longer the anguish of hell; I have loved, I have lifted the goblet the last, And no more with the demon my spirit shall dwell. To the bosom of beauty I now can look up, 1 With a heart all unstairfd by the curse of the cup; At her leet I can bow with a bliss never felt, When in love and in liquor united I lrtielt. Oh! would that the dream from my spirit were past, For I’ve lov’d and I’ve lifted the goblet the last ; No more to my lip shall love’s wine-cup repair, For it left on my lip a dark cloud of despair. Sweet woman, thy pray’rs have not been all in vain, Thoul’t restore me to virtue and gladness again ; To my soul a sweet solace thy spirit has given, And thy ’suasion has changed my heart’s hell into Heaven. 1 have lov’d thee in smiles, and I’ve lov'd thee in tears, Oh! how beautiful now the bright vision appears! ’Tis a dream of the heart that can ne’er decay, ’Tis a light of the soul that can ne’er pass away. I am free, I am free, I have conquered at last, The curse of the world from my spirit has pass’d; 1 have dashed from iny lips the damnation 1 knew, And the bowl hath no longer a bliss in my view. From the grave I have risen to live my life o’er, But the bowl shall ne’er blast as it blasted before, I crushed it, I've curßed it, I’ve cast it away, And a new sun now shines on my heart’s happy day. How my mother will smile when she hears that her' son With the curse of the world jp forevernow done; Dear mother, bow down, let thy pray’r be for me. For I never again shall give sorrow to thee. Oh ! virtue, how bright are thy bowers I tread, How brilliant thy roses that bloom o’er my head! How peaceful thy pathway through which I have pass’d— -1 am free, I am free, I have conquered at last. MILFORD BAUD. A little word in kindness spoken, A motion or a tear, Has often healed the heart that's broken, And made a friend sincere. A word—a look—has crushed to earth Full many a budding flower, Which, had a smile but owned its birth, Would bless life’s darkest hour. Then deem it not an idle thing, A pleasant word to speak ; • The face you wear, the thoughts you bring, A heart may heal or break. * My dear sir,’ said a gentleman to a hard drink er, I do stop topping so, or you will wear out the coats of your stomach.’ ‘ Then let the stomach work in Us shirt sleeves!’ was the reply. Cousiuiug. AN AMUSING STAGE CoACH ADVENTURE. A short time ago a gentleman went into the , coach office at Utica, and booked himself fora I residence near Oswego. In the coach office was a beautiful girl. The gentleman thought of all ! persons in the world he should like her tor a trav -1 elling companion. To his great delight, as the coach drove up to the door, he found that she was a passenger. Upon being asked where she would like to sit, she said “ by this gentleman,” alluding to our hero. He lclt much flattered, and thanked heaven that his personal appearance had captivated so | charming a female, i Smack went the whip, round went the wheels, j The gentleman conversed with thelady, he found I her free and easy, and from her agreeable man j ner felt as if he had known her all his life. — : Evening closed in upon them. With evening ; came l\\ ilight and very shortly afterwards ilark j ness. On rumbled rile coach, jolting and jerking in a most remarkable manner. It was an act of politeness doubtless on the part of the gentleman, to encircle the waist of his fair companion with his arm, just to keep her free from the jolting to which she might otherwise be subjected, lie did this with some timidity. To his surprise no objection was made to it. Encouraged by the ; freedom allowed, as darkness had spread her sa ble veil over that portion of the earth on which the coach was running, he drew her to him and imprinted a kiss on her ncctarian lips. 'I he couch did not travel very quickly, but the enamoured youth thought it flew, when ite found himself on the following day within a few rods ol his uncle’s house. He told his fair companion that they must shortly separate. Spoke of “here we meet to.) soon to part, and made use of many other romantic speeches, expressive of his deep regret at being compelled to sever so soon from one who had been as a bright and glorious sun i beam on his earthly pilgrimage, and whose mem ory would live forever, and aday after, in his bo [ j »<>«•• To his surprise, the young lady declared : he had been so exceedingly kind that she could ! not think of parting with him, that she would go with him to his uncle’s house. He told her that he dared not take such a liber ty. I hat he had been in Euro|>e for some years, i and that himself, a stranger comparatively, to his uncle, he could not introduce a lady, who * was a stranger to him and his relations. The lady evinced hysterical symptoms; his ; arm again encircled her waist and their Ups again owned a secret communion. The coach stopped | —the gentleman had arrived at the end of his journey. He bade the lady tareweil. It was no | go. She insisted on his protecting her. She got . out ot the coach with tout, and followed him to I his uncle’s house. ! He was in a dreadful state of mind. However j pleasant a kiss in the dark was on the previous night the incumbrance of a petticoat on the pre | sent occasion was any thing but satisfactory. 1 He walked into the parlor, and, with what he conceived to be unblushing impudence, the lady , billowed. \V hile he was thinking how he could j possibly explain the afiair, he was welcomed by j h's uncle, and the young lady was welcomed too, and kissed by alltlie family. She was his cousin On his entering the coach office at Utica, and booking his name and place of destination, she knew at once that he was her relative, ami resolv ed to have a laugh at his expense, and perhaps she did when she told the stage coach adventure, and the fright to which she put her cousin! What liberties they take ! The gentleman was laughed at pretty considerable; but let those laugh that win. lie won his cousin, and they are mw bone of one bone, and flesh of one flesfl. Anecdote of Washington. While Colonel Washington was on a visit to New York in 1773, it was boasted at thetable of the British Governor, that a regiment jurt larded from England, contained among itsoffierrs some of the finest specimens of martial elegance in his Majesty’s service—in fact, the most superb mili tary-looking lellows ever landed upon the shores of the new world. “ I wager vour Excellency a pair of gloves,” said a Mrs. Morris, an American lady, “that I will show you a finer man in the procession to morrow than your Excellency can select from your famous regiment." “Done, Madam,” replied the Governor. The morrow came (the 4th of June,) and the procession, in honor of the birth-day ofthe King, advanced through Broadway to the strains of military music. As the troop defiled before the Governor, he pointed out to the lady several offi cers by name claiming her admiration for their superior persons and brilliant equipner.ts. In the rear of the troop came a band of officers not I on duty, of colonial officers, and strangers of dis tinction. Immediately on their appetrance the attent ion of the Governor was seen tohe directed towards a tall and martial looking figure, that marched with grave and measured Itvad, appar ently indiferent to the scene around him. The lady now archly observed, “ I perceive that your Excellency’s eyes are turned to the rirht object; what say you to your wager now. sir T’ “Lost madam,” replied the gallant Governor; “ when I Hid my wager I was not ware that Colonel Washington was in New Ytrk.” So long ago as the vice-regal court a' Williams ™rß> “ th e day of Lord Bootecourt, Colonel Washington was remarkable for tis splendid person, the air with which he wore a small sword and his peculiar walk, that had the iight elastic tread acquired by his long service on the frontier and was a matter of much observation, especially to foreigners. ' r Deportment. To preservethe health ot'the human form is the , first object of consideration. With its health, we ; necessarily maintain its symmetry and improve its j beauty. The foundation of a just proposition in all parts . must be laid in infancy. A light dress, which . gi'es freedom to the functions of life and action, , is the best adapted to jx-rmit unobstrncted growth; , for thence the young fibres, uninterrupted by ob ! ! stacles of art, will shoot harmoniously into the | form which naturedrew. The garb ofcbildhood , should in all respec ts be easy ; not to impede its , movements by ligatures on the chest, tiie loins, the legs, or arms. By this liberty we shall sec the muscles ofthe limbs gradually assume the fine ; swell and insertion which only unconstrained ex . crcise can produce; the shape will sway graceful ly on the firmly pois« d waist; the chest will rise in noble and healthy expanse; and ihe human fig . ure will start toward at the blooming age of vouth maturing into the full perfection of unsophistica j* ted nature. The lovely form of woman, thus educated, or rather, thus left to the true bias of its original , mould, puts on a variety of interesting characters. . In one youthful figure, we seethe lineaments of a , wood-nvmph; a form slight and elastic in all its . parts. The shape, “small by degrees and beau tifully less, from the soft bosom to tbe slender waist!” a foot, light as that of her whose flying step scarcely brushed the ‘ unbending cornand limbs, whose agile grace moved in gay harmony with the turns of her swan-like neck and spark ling eyes. Another fair one appears with the chastened dignity of a \ estal. tier proportions arc of a less ®rial outline. As she draws near, we perceive that the contour of her figure is on a broader, a , less flexible scale, than that of her more ethereal sister. Euphrosyne speaks in the one, Melpo mene in the other. Between these two lie the whole range of fe male character in form. And in proportion as the figure approaches the one extreme or ttie other wc call it giave or gay, majestic or graceful. Not but that the same person may, by a happy combination of charms, unite these qualities iii different degrees, as we sometimes see graceful majesty and majestic grace. And, certainly, with out the commanding figure softens the amplitude ot its contour with a gentle elegance, it may pm sess a sort of regal consequence, but it will be that ofa heavy and harsh importance. But, un less the sli ht and airy form, full of youth and animal spirits, superadds to these attractions the grace of a restraining dignity, her vivacity will be deemed levity, and her activity the romping of a wild hoyden. >oung women must, therefore, when they pre sent themselves to the world, not implicitly fash ion their demeanors according to Ihe levelling rules ofthe generality of school-governesses; but considering the character of their figures, allow their deportment, and select their dress, to follow the bias of nature. Blushing. We love to seethe rosy hue mounting over the neck and face of a beautiful woman; it shadows forth delicately and softly the gentle feeling of her soul. It is the evidence of timidity, which is lovely only to women. Out upon your masculine mind : out upon vour rough sturdy genius ! we prefer the reed to the ash—the ivy to the oak Woman’s natural element is retirement- her home, the domestic circle. Unfit by nature to buffet with the world s waves, or nujigle in its strife; she lives dependent upon a stronger spirit, and repays in kindness and gentleness, that which she conceives in protection and support. * \V e cannot bear a woman who never blushes ; the steady, cold, calm eye has no charm for us ; there is a beauty and a gent eness in the down east look, starting tear, and warm blush that de fies comparison even with the loveliest ofthe haughty. Those who endeavor to curb and re strain this feeling, thinking it a weakness, err strangely in their ideas; let it alone, there is no deformity in the indulgence. Benevolouce. “ Not for ourselves, but for others,” is the grand law of nature inscribed by the hand of God on every part of creation. Not tor itself, but others, does the sun dispense its beam; not for themselves but others, do the clouds distill odors, does the earth unlock her treasures; not for them selves, but others, do the trees produce their fruit or flowers diffus their fragrance and display their hues. So, not for himself, but others, are tbe blessings ot heaven lestowed on man. He who lives only for himself, consumes the bounty of heaven upon his lusts or consecrates it to the demon of avarice, is a barren rock in a ferti'e plain—he is a thorny bramble in a fruitful vine yard, he is the grave of God’s blessings—he is the very Arabia desert ofthe moral world. Titles. Several years ago there was a young English nobleman figuring away at Washington. e He had not much brains, but a vast number of titles which have the effects of tickling the ears of some amazingly. Several voung ladies were in debate, going over the iist--he is Lord Viscount so and so. Baron ot such a county, &c., “My fair triends,” exclaimed tbegallant'Lirut. N. “one of his titles you appear to have forgotten.” l Ah exclaimed they eagerly, ‘ what is tEat V “He is Barren of Intellect,” was the reply. A good book and a good woman are excellent tpmgs for those who know justly howto appre ciate their value—There are men however, who judge both from the beauty of the covexing. Idleness.—A shilling a day is better than no- ! thing. The very act of being at work will i procure employ by-and-by at a fair rate. Men avoid him who is judged unfit for any thing ami may die for want of employ. . The Boston Transcript tells of a merchant in ' that city, who spells the word ‘usually,’ yourz- j youally.
