THE 4UTUMN EVENING. Behold the western evening light! It melts in deepening, gloom : Bo calmly Christians sink awAy Descending to the tomb. Phe Winds breathe low—the withering Ifeaf Scarce wispera from the tree I So gently flows the parting breath When good men eeasp to be. How beautiful on all the hillk The crimson light is shed ! y ’Tis like the peace the Christian givCA To nldurnors round his bod. How mildly on the wandering cloud The sunset beam is cast! ’Tis like the memory loft behind When loved ones breathe their last. And no-W above the dews of night The yellow star appears! So faith springs in the hearts of those W h o s e e y e s are bathed in tears. But soon the morning’s happiet light Its glories shall restore ; And eyelids that are scaled in death Shall wake to close no more. [From Pinckney's Poems.—Just published.] A HEALTH. I fill this clip to on e m a d d 'S f tevelinfess a lone, A woman, of her gentle jfex the seeming paragon, To whom the better elements and kindly stars ha-lrc given, A form So fair,, that, like tho air, ’tis less of earth than Heaven. Her every tone is music’s own, like those of morning And something more than melody dwells ever in her , words i; The coinage of her heart are they, and from her lips each flows. As one may see the burthened bee forth issue from the Affections are as thoughts to her, the measures of her Her feelings have tho fragrancy, tho freshness, of young flowers; ^ d lovely passions, changing oft, so fill her, she ap- Tho image of tltemselvcs by turns,—the idol of past Ofher bright face one glance will trace a picture on the brain. And of her voice in echoing hearts a sound must long remain. But memory such as mino of her so very much endears. When death is nigh ray latest sigh will not be life’s but hers. I filled this cup to one made up of loveliness alone, A woman, of her gentle sex the seeming paragon,—i- Her health Jl and . ivould on earth there stood some more of such a frame, Then life might be all poetry, and weariness a name.* MX P jlT ilE a ’e AT THE ilELX . ’Twas when the sea with awful roar, A little bark assailed, And pallid Fear’s distracting power O’er each on board prevailed, Save one, tho captain’s darling child, W h o steadfast v iew e d tho storm ; And cheerful, with composure smiled At danger’s tlireatening form. “• Why sporting thus,” a seaman cried, “ While terrors overwhelm ?” Why yield to fear?” tho boy replied— “ •% /a/her’r cf£ the helm ON A LOCK OF HAIR.

He sat, oh the Sabbath, in .the synagogue, instructing the people. In the mean dme^ .death, who often aipis his poisonous shafts against the infant Breast, and spares the aged and infirm, did, py an unexpected stroke deprive the parents o f two goodly sons; both were of a handsoipe shape,—both by a fathers care, enlightened in the law. His partner looked at first on their bereav- ment wltli the feelings of a tender mother; but, soon iier piety shone prodominant, and in the duties of a wife, each selfish wish was buriedi Anxious to save her husband froiU those pangs which a.too sudden knowledge of his loss might create, she moved the bodies of her sons into her ^chamber; laid them on her bed, and with white drapery concealed them. , In the evening, Rabbi Meir returned, who with a father’s fond solicitude, inquired-^ “ where are my sons that I may give them a blessing.^” * They fire gone into the synagogue^” re plied his wife. . “ ilobked around while thbre, in expecta tion of their cOming, but saw them not,” re joined the Rabbi. ^ . She reached him a goblet with wine ; he praised the Lord at the hiding Of the Sab bath, drank and again asked, “ Where are roy sons that they may also drink and partake of my blessing They are not far,” she said, and Wish ing to change the objects o f h^s thoughts, with ready hand prepared their, evening meal. Of this he did partake^ and after giving thanks his wife thus spoke. . ; Rabbi, permit me to ask your judgment in a cause which much concerns me. .A few years since a person gave into my care some jewels f these I received with pleasure, watch ed their safety with an anxious mind, contem plated with pride their worth; and dared at length to view them as my own, when in ftn unexpected hour, a mes.«enger is sent, who, in his master’s natne, doth claim my valued charge; shall I restore these gems to him . Wy wife ought not first to inquire this,” said Rabbi Meir ; “ w it thou delay return ing to the owner each one that he hath le&t thee?” , . . . “ Oh no,” answered she, “ if it is unjust so to do :•—but I would not return them with out thy knowledge.” .. She then conducted him to tiie chamber, walked tovturd and removed from the dead bodies their covering. Oh my sons! my sons! cried the father, in the fullness of his grief—do I find you thus 9 I gave you life, 1 enlightened yoiir, fiiental eyes in the law, and looked upon you as the solace of my declining years,’ when, on a sudden, I find myself bOreft of you.” ’ . . . ShO turned from him, wishing to conceal the agitation of her mind, but roused^at length by the violence of his grief, slie seisE^d him by the hand and spoke, . , “ Rabbi# hast thou not taught ipe, tkat it is contrary to the morals as well as the re-j ligtous duties of men to refuse Restoring wdiat is entrusted to their care? Behold, the Lord hath givenj and the Lord bath ta ken away, blessed be the name of the Lord,” “ The name o f the Lord he praised,” re joined Rabbi Meir, conscious he had erred at repining at His will who is infalible j in murmuring at his mandate who is omniscient. It is truly said whosoever hath found a‘ virtuous wife has a greater treasure than the most costly pearl j she opens her mouth with, wisdom, and in her tongfre is the law df kindness.” TH E PO R T E R O H fW IT T E D . The Marquis Dela S'calas, an Italian nobleman, having invited the neigbourin^; gentry to a grand entertainment, whe^ a]l the delicacies of the season yver& provided, some o f the company arrived very early, for the purpose of paying their respects to his Excellehcy; soon afier which the mafo^ do- mo, entering the dining room in ammat hur^ ry, told the marquis there was a V l t won derful fisherman below, who had brought ohe of the finest fish in all Italy 5 for which, how ever, he demanded a most e:ltravagant p ice. “ Regdrd not his price, cried the m a r ^ is; “ pay him the money directly.” So 1 would ffiease your ^ h n e s s v but he'refuses id tabs money” **What then would the fellow have ?” An hundred strokes o f the stap- pado on his bare shouiders, my lord f he says he will not bate a. single i^trokc.” On this the whole Compahy ran down stairs to see so singular a mam “ A fine fish,” cried, the marquis# \ Whatds the demand iny friend?”, “ Hot a quatrini, my lord,” ansWettid* the dado on ray back j odierwise t shall apply elsewhere.*.

'*Now, my friend,” said the fisheirnidn, ‘^keep an exact account I *beseech:yqd I for 1 don’t desire a single stroke more than my due.” The whole company were astonished, at- the amazing fortitude with which the mau' sub mitted to the operation, tilLhe had received the fiftieth lash ^ when addressing himself to the servant, “ Hold my.friend,’’ cried#,the fisherman ; “ I have had. now, ray fall share of the price.” “ Your share 1” exclaimed the marquis; “ what is the meaning 6 f all this My lord,” returned the fisherman, I have a partner to whom my honour is engaged# he shall have his full half of whatever I re ceive for the fish f and you J dare venture to say, will by and By own that it would be a thousand pities to defraud himiof a single stroke.” “ And pray, honest friend,” said ilie marquis, “ who is this partner f” “ Your porter, my lord,” . answered the'’ fisherman, “ who keeps the Outer gate,-and refused to admit me# unless I would promise him' half what I should obtain fbj'the fish.” exclaimed the marquis, laughing very neart- ily^ « b y the blessing Of;fieaven, he shall have double his demand' in Hill tale ” !
