THE BOWL WE TIP. By T. Moore. . The bowl we tip, when love we sip, ' Contains both'sweet and sour: And those who drink must never think, T" escape the acid power. The bliss we sip from beauty's lip, Is gone as soon as tasted; And oft our time spent in our prime Of life, in love, is wasted. Tor though there flows from love's young rose, The sweetest sweets, there glitters 'Neath every leaf, the tear of grief, Of life the thorns and bitters. Then when you dip the trembling lip In Cupid's bowl, prepare. To leave behind your peace of mind, Ur never venture there. TO IANTHE, SLEEPING. Lady! dream, but not of love; Be thy vision far above Feverish hopes, and pining fears, Fleeting joys, and lingering tears. Love is an inconstant thing, Ever, ever on the wing, Flying most, when most pursued, Lightly lost, but dearly wooed. Let not words and looks cf art, Win thy young and happy heart; Let not beauty charm thine eye, The fairest flow'rs arc first to'die. Wit and learning cannot sav e, Valor finds an early grave. Let thy virgin beauties glow, Like the buds that bloom in snow, Like the gems that shine unseen, Where man the spoiler ne'er hath been. Like the flowers that wreathe their leaves Underneath the clear cold waves, Weaving many a garland fair, Such as sea nymphs love to wear, Far from mortal ear or eye, In their maiden revelry. Be thy glancing foot the fleetest, Be thy tuneful voice the sweetest, tin .1 nere tne gay and happy throng, lo weave the dance, and breathe ! u i . ? y thesong uiuuncibc most Just, clmractcnzcti as Pleasure,wit, and friendship, prove; ' But, Lady! listen not to love. ; 1 Old Bachelor's Lamentation, Pune "There is no luck." ' I'm an old bachelor, half wavdown, My life's declivity, Altho' the sweetest girls in town Once set their caps for me. No loving wife at home have I, No prattlers on my knee; And if I live, or if I die, None cares a groat for me. Yet I was once as blythe'and gay As sky-lark on the wing, Was all the ton in dance or play, To frolic or to siijfjr. But now an odd old put am I, . A stupid wretched thing, And might as well attempt to fly, As frolic, dance, or sing. Ye young men all, while in your prime, Ne'er let occasion slip, Before the withering hand of time The buds of pleasure nip. But on some fair one, in a trice, Bestow your heart and hand, Ere one is stone, the other ice, And love is contraband. 'from the Edinburg Review. AMERICA. The economy of America is a great and important object for our imitation. Ihc salary of Mr.Bagot, our late Ambassador, vas, we believe, rather higher than that of the president of the Umted States. The vice-president receives rather less than me second clerk of the house of commons; and all saiaries civi, and military, areunnn , scale; and yet no country is bet ter served than Amp.rio,! tw Hume has at last persu,i;Ti ' English people to look a little into their accounts, and to see how sadly they are plundered Aiut we ought to suspend our viucmpt lor America, and con S1ier whether we have not a v ry momentous lesson to learn lYrom this wise and cautious peo ple on the subject of economy. i A Won unon the importance of religions toleration, we are determined, it would seem,, not to learn, cither from .America, or from any other quarter of the rlobe. The hijrh sheriff of New-York, last year, was a Jew. It was with the utmost difficul ty that a bill was carried this year to allow the first duke of England to carry a gold stick before the King, because he was a catholic! and we think our selves entitled to indulge in im pertinent sneers at America, as it civilization did not depend more upon making wise laws for the promotion of human happiness, than in having inns, and post horses, and civil wai ters. The circumstances of the dissenters' marriage bill are such as would excite the con tempt of Choctaw or Cherokee, it he could be brought to undei stand them. A certain class of dissenters bcir thev may not be compelled to say that they mar ry in the name ol I nnity, be cause they do not believe in the lntKty. JNever mind, say the eoiTuptiomsts, you savins: you marry in the name of the Trinity, whether you believe in it or not. We know that such a protestation from you will be lalse; but unless you make it, your wives shall be concubines, and your childrc illegitimate. Is it possible to conceive a greater or more use less tyranny than this? In this particular, (religion toleration,) the Americans ar at the head of all the nations c the world; and at the same time they are, especially in the east cm and midland states, so far from beinjr indifferent on sub jects of religion, that they may a VCI7 religious people; but they are devout without being unjust (ihc srreat nrohlom in rplio-inn- an higher proof of civilization than printed tca-cuns. watnr- , , 17 proof leather or broad cloth at two guineas a yard. Though America is a con federation of republics, they are n many cases much more amal- ;amatedthan the various parts f Great Britain. If a citizen f the United States can make a hoc, he is at liberty to make a hoc anv where between Lake Ontario and New-Orleans he may sole on the Mississippi, leel on the Missouri measure Mr. Birkbeck on the Little Wa bash, or take (which our best politicians do not find an easv matter,) the length of Mr. Mon roe's foot on the banks of the Potomac. But woe to the cob bler, who, having made Hessian boots for the alderman of New castle, should venture to invent with these coriaceous integu ments, the leg of a liege sub ject at York. A yellow ant in a nest of red ants a butcher's 02 in a lox kennel a mouse . n a bec-hive all leel the ef fects of untimely intrusion: but lar preterable their late to that of the misguided artisan, who, misled by sixpenny histories of England, and conceiving his country to have been tmited at tne heptarchy, goes forth irom his native town to stitch ireely within the sea-girt limit of Al bion. Him the mayor, him the aldermen, him the recorder, liim the quarter-sessions would worry, liim tne lustices be fore trial would long to get in to the tread-mill, and would much lament that by a recent act, they could not do so, even with the intruding tradesman s consent; but the moment he was tried, they would push him in with redoubled energy, and eave him to tread himself into conviction of. the barbarous in stitutions of his corporation-di- lcied country. Too much prriise cannot be iven to the Americans, for their great attention to the subject of education. All the nub he ands are surveyed according to the direction of Congress. Thev are divided into townships of six miles square, by lines run ning with the cardinal points. and consequently crossing each other at right angles. Every township is divided into thirty- six quarter sections, each a mile square, and containing G40 a cres. One section in each town ship is reserved, and siven in perpetuity lor the benefit of common schools. In addition to this, the states of Tennessee and Ohio have received grants for the support of Colleges and Axademies. 1 he appropriation generally, in the' new states, for seminaries of the higher orders, amount to one-fifth of those for common schools. It appears, from Seybert's Statistical annals, that the lands in the states and territories on the east side of the Mississippi, in which appropriations have been made, amounts to 237,300 acres; and according to the ra tio above mentioned, the asrre gate on the cast side of the Mis sissippi, is 7,000,000. The same system of atmronriation applied to the west, will make, for schools and colleges, 0,000, 000; and the total appropriation for literary purposes, in the new states and territories, 14,500,000 acres, which, at two f dollars per acre, would be 29,000,000 dollars. These facts arc very properly quoted by Mr. Hodgson; and it is impossible to speak too high ly of their value and importance. They put into the back ground every thing which has been done in the did world for the im provement of the lower orders, and confer, deservedly, upon the Americans, the character ot a wise, a rcflectinsr, and a virtu ous people. Lawyers. There are at pre sent, six law schools in the Uni ted States. When we reflect upon the number of young men at these schools and under the tuition of private gentleman, if we do not know that one half must ultimately want success, we should exclaim with him of old, "of strife there is no end." So numerous is the profession, at this time, and so great is the competition, that a young law yer's prospect is well compared to a contingent remainder, re quiring a particular estate to support it. In this city, we have, it is estimated from three to five hundred lawyers, and the greater part, particularly the most honorable and celebrated, are most genteely poor. Ta king the profession as a body, i ' . 1 '.there is nn mil in cr in lhr nwn munity, in which the exnendi turcs bear so great a proportion to the receipts. No man ac quainted with the situation of the profession would take the receips and the expenditures for thousands of dollars. Hut it is the broad road to destruction, in which many, very many, go down to the sates of death, be fore attainining the objects of tneir juvenile ambition. New-York Statesman. How to catch and how to cure a cold. At this time of the year colds are easily caught, and difficult to cure. The'fol lowing will be found effectual: After a quick walk in the even ing, sit in the draft to cool; the consequence will be a sover cold, attended with cough; the next day hoarseness, short uicduj, anu mucn expectoration: in the even i nor of enron rrr in t U iU i t . ,. own, & "V weil-lreauented tivprn. nnd annK three or four classes of strong punch, or stiff rum and water: stay till eleven, walk home cosey, and o to bed: you neea not get up next day, but send for the apothecary, the fol lowing day for the nhvsieian. and the third day your friends will send for the undertaker. You will never feel the effect of an autumnal cold afterwards. LEATHER. mHE Subscribe JL ceived a handsome assortment ot upper and sole LEATHER, wnicn tney oiler for sale on ac commodating terms.
