Nature formed you to temper man— We had been brutes without you — ; There’s in you ali that we desire of heaven ! Amazing brightness, purity and truth, Eternal joy ! St everlasting love!” From the Lady's Miscellany. The foregoing was sent to us j some tune sit.ee, but in advertent- \ ly mislaid. It is, we are inform- I ed, the production of a young lady. \ Tbe'sertimeitts art? honorable to her feelings. Description of Hell. A future ttaie was believed and taught among the Danes and Saxons, prior to the intro duction of Chriftianiiy into the hie of Britain. They called the place of punishment Nif theim, or the abode of evil, where Hela dwelt j w hofc pa lace was anguish; her table, famine j her waiters, cxpectati. on and delay ; the threshold of her door, precipice ; her bed, ieannefs ; and her looks, terror. LOVE. Love does not awaken in the heart of a virtuos woman thole violent feelings which are the offspring of a delirious imagi nation. It does not at once occupy her (oul; it Reals into if. It is not like a devouring fire; but as the genial warmth of spring, it animates and fera tilifes. It is so timid and un a{Turning, that it appears abash. ed ; it is so generous that it re sembles friendfhip. WOMAN. Her elegant and delicate figure charms the eye while it awakens desire, and the bolom of this new Hebe, agitated with a sentiment which ihe cannot define, fills the foul with invo luntary perturbation. Tell me what art is capable of embel- Itfhing this ceicflial perfection p : Would you cover it with dia_ I monds ? Would you load it with parafitical luxury ? Oh no ; every ornament would conceal a grace, would rob it of a charm. A iirnpie Sc light robe, coinplaifantly accommo dating itfelf to her ravishing form, hair turned up with tafle or flowing gracefully ; a single role—and you will behold one of thole elegant Sc airy nymphs with which Aibani has embd lifhed his lovely couipofitious. Striking instance or Mon tesquieu’s Benevolence. (•SWA an act enhances the value ivhich every real republican has for the character oj the excellent author of the Spirit of La~ssi] A gentleman, being at Mar seilles, hired a boat, with an in tention oi failing for pleasure ; he entered into conveifation with the two young rnen who owned the vefTel, and learned that they were not watermen by trade, but lilver-fmitbs; and that when they could be spared from their usual busi ness, they employed thein felves in that way to encreale their earnings. On expressing his furprize at their condud, and imputing it to an avaii cions difpolition, ‘ Oh ! Sir,” laid ihe young men, “ if you knew our reasons, you would aferibeit to a beiter motive. Our father, anxious to alhll his family, la aped together ail lie was worth ; purchased a veil'd for the purpose of trading to the coalt of Barbarv, but was unfortunately taken by a pi rate, carried to Tripoli, and fold for a Have.—He writes word, that he has luckily fal len into the hands of a mailer who treats him with great hu manity ; but that the lum de. tnanded for his ransom is so exorbitant, that it will be im polhble for him ever to raise it ; he adds, that we mull therefore relinquilh ail hopes of ever fee ing him, and be contented, that he has as many comforts as his iituation will admit. With the hopes of relloiing to his fami ly a beloved father, we are driving by every honest means in our power to coMefl the lum neceflary for his ranlbm, and we are not alhamed to em ploy ourselves in the occupa tion of watermen.” The gen tleman was llruck with this ac count, and on his departure, made them a hand so me pre sent. “Some months afterwards the young men being at woik in their {hop, were greatly fur. prised at the sudden arrival of their father, wl o threw him felf into their arms exclaiming at the fame time, that he was fearful they had taken foine un just mathod to raise the money for his ransom, for it was too great a sum for them to have gained by their ordinary occu pation. They profclled their ignorance of the whole affair, and could only fufpehl they owed their father’s release to that stranger, to whole genero sity they had been before so much obliged. “ After Montesquieu’s death an account of this affair was found among his papers, and ihe sum actually remitted to Tripoli for the old man’s ran lom. It is a piealure to hear offuenanabi of benevolence performed even by a person totally unknown to us; but the piealure is infinitely encrealed when it proves the union of virtue and talents in an author so renowned as Montesquieu.” SS A’ A /'y / v V Sheriff’s Sales.
