WOMAN'S iLOVE.
A woman's love, deep iir thJe heart,
-.. Is like the vivid flower,
That lifts its modest head apart, .
In some sequestered bower.
And blest is he whofinds that bloom,
. Who sips its srentle sweets:
He heeds not life's oppressive
gloom,
Nor all the care he meets.
A woman's love is like the spring,
Amid the wild alone,
A burning w ild, o'er which, the wing
Of cloud is seldom thrown.
And blest is h e who meets that fount
Beneath the sultry day;
How gladly should his spirit mount!
Ho w pleasant be his way!
Awoman's love is like the reck
That every tempest braves,
And stands secure amid the shock
Of ocean's wildest waves
And blest is he who knows repose
Within its shade is given;
The world, with all its cares and
" woes,
Seems less like earth than heav'n.

THE MINIATURE.
William was holding in his hand
1 he likeness of his wife;
Twas drawn by some enchanted
wand.
It seem'd so much like life.
He almost thought it spoke he
gaz'd
Upon the picture still,
And was delighted and amazed
To view the painter's skill.
"This picture is just like thee, Jane,
Tis drawn to nature true;
I've kiss'd it o'er and o'er again
It is so much like you."
"And has it kiss'd thee back, my
dear?" .
"Ah no, my love," said he;
"Then, William, it is very clear,
It's not at all like me." '
WORLD.
ii the best world that wc
This
live in.
To lend, or to spend, or to give in;
cut to Deg, or to borrow, or to get
a man's own,
Tis the very worst world that ever
was known.

THOUGHTS OX .NOSES.
I have more than once in my
daybeen exceedingly pestered in ;
deciding to my own satisfaction
whether a man s nose, was on
the whole, advantageous to him.
It is doubtless desirable on ma-
ny accounts, rirst, necause it .
m&y amen uui iuuu lur me sen
ses. Secondly, because it brings
a man's head to a point. Third
ly because it is a decent reposi
tory for snuff when every other
cavity of a man's head is crow
ded with the Indian weed.
Fourthly, it is a firm pedestal
for that very fashionable orna
ment, glasses. Fifthly, be
cause it is of some use in keep
ing a man's eyes from quarrell
ing with each other. Sixthly,
because people have got into
such a habit of wearing them,
that they have become as it
were, necessary to their com
fort. If there are any other ad
vantages to be derived from
wearing a nose, I have never
teen able to nose them out!
ow the inconveniences and
botherations of a nose are neith
er few nor small. Let any man
pay attention to the subject, and
notice how often in the course
ota day his nose is in his own
way, or in that 0f some body
receiving
""' anftUi, and injury
puiiiiumug unagreeable and
mortifying through its int,-
mentality, and he- will be
vinced that the pleasure he has
ceiyecl thro' the same medi
ljm is far from being equal to it
in fact the bare trouble of keen
Vi Wowing and wipms:,
the inconvenience and disa
greeableness of carrying about,
and flourishing in every body's
gaze a filthy pocket-handkerchief
is enough to neutralize all
the pleasure and convenience
from it.
There is another thing which
sirus.es me, in wnicn a man s
nose is fruitful of much nain.
If you should have the misfor
tune to injure or displease a fel
low creature all his vensreance is
directed against vour nroboscis.
it is this leature which seems to
monopolize all his spite: and his
darling wish appears to be to de
molish it. 1 bus Mathews ex
claimed, in the character of an
enraged Frenchman, xoill
strike y an on dc noseV and it
is notorious that in those spar
ring matches which redound so
much to the honor of old Eng
land, the principal aim of the
combatants is to detach his an
tagonist's snuffer.
mi .i .i
mere is anotner ininsr in
which noses are fruitful of much
vexation their shape. The
snout of a man as well as that of i
a pig, has an overwhelming in
fluence in deciding the expres
sion or his countenance. It is
highly necessary to one who is
ambitious of obtaining the fa
vour of the ladies to have a re
spectable nose dangling from
his skull. In fact, he cannot
get along without it. If a man
have a nose like an elephant or
a guinea pig, he can never hope
to obtain the devotion of the
fair, although he should have
unlimited 'credit with every tai
lor and perfumer in the city.
A decent nose is indispensable
in all affairs of gallantry; Cupid
never yet shot his deadly ar
rows from behind an ill-favoured
snout. Let all parrot-nosed
gentlemen remember this and
not suffer their vanity to betray
them.
Aitnouirh all noses are re
markably troublesome to their
owners, yet there are some more
so than others. I knew a poor
devil, ruck Snuffer bv name.
i who died of nothing under hea-
jven but his nose. It is a new
! complaint 1 allow, "but it's a
fact " Nick inhoritr.d from n;
ture a proboscis of most uncom
mou dimensions. It was not
so very stout and lanre, but it
was remarkably long, and the
end of it curled in towards his
chops in a most singular man-
ner. It was said that his mo
therwas frightened some months
before he was born, at seeing an
elephant pass through the town
on its way to the metropolis for
exhibition, and the consequence
was, that Nick was born with
the animal's nose. Be this as
t may, his smeller has much the
air of an elephant's trunk, and
its size was not less remarkable
than its shape. His relations.
1 - 7
however, consoled themselves
with the hope, that as their
calves and lambs had as larrc
s when they were born as
they ever had, so Nick's nose
might remain as it was, until his
imbs and body should grow in
to something like Christian-like
proportions. Uut, alas!
they
were disappointed. To be sure
his nose but barely kent pace
with his body for some three or
lour years, but no sooner did the
unlucky Master Snuffer berin
to use his legs, than his snout
gan to outstrip its rivals
From that time till the day of
his death, his nose was eternal
ly in his way. If he tumbled
down he was sure to go whack
upon his nose; if he ever look
ed for his hat in thf dark. hr
was sure to run his nose against
something; if he ever undertook
to "split up oven wood." a lor
JJ.as sure to fly up and salute
; 4 wu venose, ifheevcrquar
reueo, vviin any oi the bovs. he s
was sure to get a horrible bruis-
ne in the nose: if he ever
caught cold it was sure to settle
in his nose; and moreover, that
unfortunate member was con
tinually studded with warts,
biles, and carbuncles, like an
old-fashioned knee-buckle. But
still Nick kept up a good heart.
As his nose was not so hand
some as some others, his olfac
tories were of the first water:
and moreover from the uncom
mon size and shape, his snout af
forded him great facility in pick
ing apples and cherries, inas
much as he could h?.nc: by.it
upon a branch, and pick with
both hands, thus Nick conti
nued to thrust his nose through
the world with considerable
eclat until he arrived at the
susceptible age of twenty-seven;
when his heart was most cruel
ly wounded by the goggle eyes
ot Miss Deborah Peeper; who
(notwithstanding her venerable
beard, declared herself but
twenty-five,' though it was noto
ious that her mother had been
dead thirty-four years. Mis
tress Deborah, too, had a plenti
ful nose of her own, but it was
essentially different from Mr.
Hers, beins: turned up so
abruptly, that her nostrils ran
parallel with her mouth. It
seemed as if nature had designed
that the snouts of this lovely
couple should be hooked togeth
er in matrimony; and lor a time
every body thought it would
beeflected. Mr. Snuffer visited
the amiable Mrs. Peeper every
Sunday night in his go-to-meeting
clothes, and the village
folks talked about the match in
cessantly, for about six months,
when all at once the affair was
blown up, nobody knew for
what; Miss Peeper joined the
church and went a lectur
ing eight nights a week. Poor
Nick Snuffer drew his nose af
ter him to his paternal home,
and brooded over his disappoint
ment. It was his "first love,"
and he was sensible he should
not survive the stroke. And
in fact from that time, his nose
was observed to change gradual
ly to a more purple hue, and to
increase amazingly in size, until
at last it was somewhat difficult
to distinguish his original head
from his snout, it having much
the appearance of a double-headed
shot. His nose now became
too much for him. He could
not hold up his head under it;
and continued to decline away,
notwithstanding he daily des
patched two quarts of New-En
gland to keep the "cold ice of
despair' from striking into his
stomach, until at last nothing
was left of him but his nose,
when giving a most obstrepo
rous sneeze, he was silent for
ever! There were various opinion's
as usual, among the meddling
villagers, concerning the cause
of his death. Some imputed it
to the cruelty of Mrs. Deborah
Peeper; others laid it to the
emetics of Dr. Pthubard; others
to the "beer barrel;" but I have
not the least hesitation in ascri
bing it to his nose. X.E.
Gluttony. Capt Cochrane,
in his Narrative of a Pedestrian
Journey through Russia and Si
berian Tartary, recently pub
lished, rclates'as follows:
"At Tabalak I had a pretty
good specimen of the appetite
of a child, whose age (as I un
derstood from the steersman,
who spoke some English and
less French) did not exceed five
years. I had observed the child
crawling on the floor, and
scraping up with its thumb the
tallow grease which fell from a
lighted candle, and I inquired in
urprise .wherher it proceeded
from hunger or liking of the fat.
was told from neither, but sim-
bly from the habit in.both Ya-
kuti and I onions! nf catmsr
whenever there is food, &: never
permitting any thing that can
be eaten to be lost. I gave the
child a candle made of the most
impure tallow, a second, -and
third, and all were devoured
with avidity. The steersman
then gave him several pounds
of sour frozen butter; this also
he immediately consumed; last
ly, a large piece of yellow soap.
all went the same road; but as I
was now convinced that the
child would continue to gorge
as long as it could receive any
thing, I begged my companion
to desist.
"As to the statement of what
a man can or will eat, either as
to quality or quantity, I am a
Iraid it would be quite incredi
ble; in fact, there is nothing in
the way of fish or meat, from
whatever animal, however pu
trid or unwholesome, but they
will devour with impunity, and
the quantity only varies from
what they have, to what they
in get. I have repeatedly seen
Yagut or a Tongouse devour
forty pounds of meat in a day.
The effect is verv observe hlr
upon, them, for from thin and
meagre-looking men, they will
become perfectly pot-bellied.
Their stomachs must be differ
ently formed to ours, or it would
be impossible for them to drink
off at a draught, as they readily
do, their tea and soup scalding
hot, (so hot, at least, that an
European would have difficulty
in even sipping at it,) without
the least inconvenience. I have
seen these gluttons consume a
rein-dcer at one meal; nor are
they nice as to the choice of
parts; nothing being lost, not
even the contents of the bowels,
which, with the aid of fat and
blood, are converted into black
puddings."

REWARD.
UN AWAY, or was stolen from
the Subscriber, on the nie-lit r.f
the 8th instant, a bright mulatto
woman (slave) and her child, tl girl
of about four years eld. This wo
man ran away from the Subscriber
executor of John Hunt, deceased,'
in the summer of 1808, ami passed
as a free woman, by the name of
PATSEY YOUNG, until about
the first of June last, when she was
apprehended as a runaway. On
the sixth of the same month 1 ob
tained possession of her in the town
of Halifax, since which time she
and her child ELIZA have, in
compliance with an order of the
county court of Franklin, been sold,
when the Subscriber became the
purchaser. She spent the greater
part of the time she was runaway
(say about sixteen years) i:i the
neighborhood of, and in the town cf
Halifax, one or two summers at
Rocklanding, where I am informed
she cooked for the hands employed
to work on the canal; she also
spent some of her time in Ply
mouth, her occupation while there
not known. At the above named
places she has many acquaintances
and friends. She is a tall, spare
woman, thin face and lips, long
sharp nose, her fore teeth in a state
of decay. She is an excellent seam
stress, can make gentlemen's and
ladies' dresses, is a good cock and
weaver, and I am informed is a
good cake baker and brewer, &c.
by which occupations she princi
pally gained her living. Seme time
during last summer she married a
free man of color, named Achratl
Johnson, who had been living in
and about Plymouth, and followed
boating on the Roanoke. Sincehis
marriage he leased a farm of Mr.
James Cotton, of Scotland Neck,
(Halifax county) where he was liv
ing, together "with this woman,
when she was taken up as a runa
way slave in June last. I have but
little doubt that Johnson has con
trived to seduce or steal her and
child out of my possession, and will
attempt to get them cut of the state
and pass as free persons. Should
this be the case, 1 will give Sixty
Five Dollars for his detection and
conviction before the proper tribu
nal in any part of this state. 1 will
