CHIVALRY REVIVED,
In Amasius und C:issius two young knight
crrants, supposed to have sprung from
the allies of the okl redoubtable Don
Quixotte, alias Knight of the Wind
mills. The sublime effusions of these
young knights remind me of that beau
tiful llower of composition which Don
Quixotte addressed to his beautiful
Donna Dulcinea del Toboio, when he
first sallied out from his own habita
tion on his admirable love adventures,
armed cap-a-pie and mounted on his
celebrated charger, the matchless Ro
zinante, (to wit:) "The reason of the
unreasonable usage my reason has met
vith, so unreasons my reason that I
have reason to complain of your beau
tv. Tlie hiirh liea en of your divinity,
beauty and renders you meritorious of
that merit, which by your highness is
merited." !

wire,
Some maid unknown their 'witching
strains inspire;
And when they twain?, (like Orpheus'
melting lute,)
The' lull the winds und even "hold echo
mute."
Anvasius, chief of these two bards sub
lime. First woo'd the maid and stitch'd her up
in rhyme;
A plaintive lay to her this poet sung,
A sweeter strain ne'er flow'd from laure
ate's tongue.
She heeds him not to her he sings
again,
Another plaintive and bewitching strain: .
Oh love! pure love thvouehcut each sen- 1
terce mi l'
tence rung,
Oh love more pure ne'er came from lov
er's tongue.
This in Cassiu-. roused a jealous ire,
He arms himself and tunes his golden
lyre;
Upon its chords a war-like strain doth
thumb,
And bids Amasius to the combat come.
Thus opposed these knights with lance
in rest,
Don Quixotte like, with targets on their
breast,
For their Dulcinea enter now the field,
Kesolv'd tod.e, determm'd ne'er to yield.
No, ne'er to yield so fair so rich a prize,
Till fate decrees that one cr tVthcr dies
Oh fate! eh fate! withhold your dread
decree,
And let these knights their shameful er
ror see.
Oh! knights forbear, for ye will fight hi
vain, " J
The maid, 'tis said, your conduct does
disdain;
Forbear, therefore, throw down the
lance and shield,
Declare a truce, and quit the battle field.
Forbear! O Cussius, forgive Amarus'
crime,
That both may live to 'witch the world
"with rhyme;
Forbear, O bards, for should ye fight and
die,
'Twill make Apollo and the muses cry.
Minerva wailing fcr so dire a loss,
VM 'loud exclaim "the world is new
mere dross;"
And "her owl will hoot in so loud a stvle,"
That one may hear the grieving bird 'a
mile.
Therefore forbear, and stay the grief,
That would ensue were two such bards
to die;
The Gods would "mope for days in bus'-
ness slack,
"And like a hearse" the world would
"hang m black."

Mother of Washington.
The citizens of Kredricksburi:,

peopleofthe United States for
aid towards erecting a suitable
monument and tomb for the re
mains of Mrs. M.iuv Washing

man whoso memory Americans
will never cease to venerate.
P is stated that the deceased
was for many years an inhabit
ant of that town; that she died
there, and was buried in a field
ined for agricultural purposes,
wherein the plough and harrow
may ere long obliterate every
trace of her humble grave. A
new church is to be erected in
the town, and it is suggested
that a near and permanent me

Scents in a City. On Sun
day morning, an inquest was
le ld in the Alms-House on the
body nf a female who died in
Bridewell. It appeared in evi
dence that slit? was found lying
in one of the streets in the
course ot the inghr, in a state
...
oi gross intoxication. lu
was carried to the watch-house,
and from thence to Bridewell,
where she died soon after. On
an examination of the body it
was determined that intemper
ance was the cause of her death.
The name of t he deceased was
Mary Ann Bailey.
About 12 o'clock on Sunday
night, the Coroner was called
to hold an inquest on the body
of a woman who resided in
Greenwich street, and who it
was imagined, was killed by
her husband. On the examin
ation of witnesses, it appeared
that the deceased and her hus
band were both seen drunk a
bout 1 o'clock in the afternoon,
lying on the floor of their
wretched dwelling; after they
had partially recovered, they a
gain became intoxicated and
little more was known of them
until the female was discover
ed dead, between 10 and 11 o'
clock. On an examination of
the body, no marks of violence
could be discovered; nor was
there any testimony that the
husband had beaten her since
He first of May. The Jury,
ihcrofore, returned a verdict of
"death from intemperance."

Spots on the Siui. writer
in the lallimore American
says: '-There are now two large
spots close togtther on the Sun's
disc, a little west of its centre,
If the observation be correct
which the writer has made on
these phenomena, of so fro
cpient occurrence for several
years, we may expect during
the ensuing season considera
ble alteration of great heat and
cool weal her." It is certain,
that in the memorable year
1816, when, as well as we can
recollect, there was frost every
month in the year, there were
some singularly large spots on
the dhic of the sun.
Economy rf a Family.
I here is nothing which hk:s o
far towards placing young peo
ple beyond tin? reach of pnvertv
as economy in the management
of their domestic allairs.i It is
as much impossible to get a
ship across the Atlantic with
half a dozen butts started, or so
many holes in her bottom, as to
little or much for his family, if
there is a continual leakage in
the kitchen or in the parlor, it
runs away, he knows not how;
and that demon waste, cries
more, like the horse leach's
daughter, until he that provides
has no more to give. It is the
husband s dlltv tohrimr iiitfiflio
j in,
house, and it is the duty of the
wife to see that nothing goes
wrongfully out of it; and the
least article however unimpor
tant in itself, for it establishes
a precedent, not under any pre
tence, for it opens the door for
ruin to stalk in, and he seldom
leaves an opportunity unimpro
ved. A man gets'a wife to
look after his affairs, to assist
him in his journey through life,
and not to dissipate his property.
The husband's interest
should be his wife's care, and
iier ambition should carry her
no further than his welfam nn.i
happiness togeth with that of
ner children. Thjs should be
her sole aim, and the theatre of
her exploits is in the bosom of
her family, where she may do
as much towards making a for
tune as he can in the counting
room or the work shop. It is
I,otT l,,G money earned that
makes a man wealthy; it is what
