In short, she vai o be omnipotent and eternal, rim, who was firever in ntotion, and never stands a moment in one place, could iiot endure to be without the society of iiis favorite child, and as soon as she grew un insisteil on her accompanying him ev ery where.

Proceedm'' oihyard,' resumed old Time, I came to Where trie people were 'fighting, and cutting throats and burning each othr on account of a dispute about a word which each parly interpreted dif ferently. I thought it a great pity they could not find out which was the right meaning But, said 1, my daughter is iust behind, and she will clear up, the matter, 1 have not a moment to tose.

As I travelled onward from thence. I came to a nation whiclrsacrificed human brings tca great snake, & left particular directions with the ' priests to stop you when vou came, and become convinced of their deplorable errors.' 4 I stopped ; but I grieve to say it was only to lament over their misfortunes. The day before I arrived they had all been exterminated by a people who came to convert them' Sluggard !'. exclaimed the old man, for he began to wax wroth. But he again resumed his narrative. A little while after, I came among a people who worshiped graven images, and w;s exceedingly angry at their, foolish idolatry, I could not stay to. argue the matter with them, and proclaimed aloud, as I passed, that my daughter was com in to set them ri:ht. Didst thou visit these ignorant people ?' I did but alas! father, the very day but one before I came, they had all been swallowed up by an inundation !' 'Out. upon thee!' cried Time, no lon ger able to restrain his impatience at the dilatory pace cf his daughter. Out up on thee! Of vyhat use is it that thou art gifted with the power to correct error and remedy the mischiefs " of calumny of what consequence is -it thou slialt ever prevail where thou comest, if thou art al wavs lagging behind the events which I bring about ? Better not tome at all than too late-' k Father,' replied the weeping daugh ter, it is not that lam too slow, but that thou art too swift.

If then thou wou WJst only slack- en thy speed a little, I might always keep up with; thee and- Ph'aw!' exclaimed the old man, tes tily, Vl have not a moment to waste in hearing -you talk.' So saying, he spread his wings, shook liis hour glass at her in anger, and vault ed forth on another iournev- round the Hvorld. His (laughter ran after him as fast as she could," and entreated he would stop, but though she has ever since been trvin", she has never been able to over- best, Iiowever, affirm that she will tin dmihfpfllv catch him at last, for 'Truth is great and must prevail' LORD M ANSFIELD. The following extract from Lord Mansfield's no bTe burst of indignunt eloquence, in the cele brated case of the King againit John Wilkes, is familiar to many of bur readers. The pop ularity of which be speaks, is the only popu larity that a Judge,' or indeed any good man, should sek to win.;'; When Judges shall aim at populaT applause ot executive favor -by other means than an upright and fearlesj dis charge of their duty,' they will deserve to for feit the one as well as the other. We trust, that in this country, the d;iy is distant when threats shail influence even the timid in the administration cf the laws. No man is fit to be a judge, whose conscious integrity, whose moral courage, 'and whose well stored resour ces of mind do. not elevate him above all sin ister influences. Loro Mansfield. " But here let me pause! ' vM: - - . ' i " It is fit to take : some notice of the various terrors hung out ; the numerous crowtls which have attended and now at tend in and about the hall, out of all reach of hearipg vyhat passes, in court ; and the tumults which, in other places, have shamefully insulted all order and government. Audacious "addresses in print, dictate to us, from those they' call the people, the Judgment 'to be given now? and afterward upon the conviction. Reasons of policy are urged, from danger to the kingdom, by commotions anil gene ral confusion. -I " Give me leave to take the opportuni ty of th'i3 great and respectable audience, to let the whole world know, all such at tempts are vain. Unless we have been able to find an error which will beanus out, to reverse the outlawry, itmust be; affirm ed. Hie constitution does notallow rea sons of state to influence our judgment : God forbid it should I e must not re gard political consequences, how formida ble soever they might be : if rebellion was thecertat nconseqtience, we are bound to say 1 Fiat juslitia, mat cadum? The constitution trusts the king with reasons of state and policy : he may stop prose cutions ; he may pardon offence it is his to judge whether' the law or the ct imi nal should yield. We have no election; none of us encouraged or approved the commission of either of the crimes of which the defendant is convicted ; none of us had any hand in his be'iug prosecuted. As to myself, I took no part, (in another place,) in the addresses for that prosecu tion. We did not advise or assist the de fendant to fly from justice it was his oioa act, and he must take the consequen ces. None of us have been consulted, or had anv tiling to do with the present pro secution. It is not in our power to stop it ; it was not in our power to bring it on. We cannot pardon. We are to say, what we fake the law to be ; if we do not speak our real opi'nions we prevaricate witiruod and our own consciences. ".I. pass over many anonymous letters I have received : -thoe in print are pub lic ; and some of them have been brought judicially before the court. Whoever the writers are,, they take the ivrong way : I will do my duty unawed. What am I to fear? That mendax infamia from the .1-1 r l ! press, wTTich daily coins jaisc jaas arm false motives ? The lies of calumny car ry no terror to me. 1 trust that my tem per of mind, and the colour and conduct of my life, have given me a suit of armour against these arrows. It during this king's reign, I have ever supported his government, and assisted his measures, I have done it without any other reward,, than the consciousness of doing what thought right. If I have ever opposed, I have done it upon the. points theiuselves, without mixing in party, or faction, and wit'ioTlt any collattral views. 1 honour the king, and respect the people ; but, many things acquired by the favour of ci ther, are, in my account, objects nor worth ambition. I wish popularity r but it is that popularity which foHoivs, not that which is run ajtrr : it is that, popularity which, sooner or later, never fails to do do justice to the pursuit of noble ends by noble means. I will not do lhat which -my conscience tells me is wrong, upon this oc casion, to gain the huz.7,as of thousands, or the daily praise of all the papers which come trom the press : i wui nor avc.ia do ing fRat 1 think is right, though it should draw on me the whole artillery of libels ; all that falsehood an'd malice could in vent, or the credulity of a deluded popu lace can swallow. I can say, with a great magistrate," upon an occasion anjd under circumstances not unlike, ' Ego dwe ani mo semper fui, ut invidiam virtutepartam, g'oriam, non invidiam putarem.' ' "The threats' go- further' thdn ahuse : personal violence is denounced. I do not believe -it''; it is not the genius of the worst men of this country, in the worst of times. But I have set my'rmndat rest. The last end that can happen- to any man never comes too soon, if he falls in support of the 'law and liberty of his country; (tor liberty is synonymous with law und government.) Such a shock, too, might be productive of public good : it mightavake the better part of the kingdom out of that lethargy which seems to have benumbed themv and bring the mad part back to their senses, as men in toxicated are semetimes stunned into so briety. " Once for all, let it be understood, ' that w4 endeavours of this kind will in fluence any man whi at present sits here.' If they hail any effect, it would b? con trary to their intent: ..leaning against their impresssion, iniht give a. bias the other way. But I hope, and I know, that I have fortitude enough to resist even that weakness. No libels, no threats,' nothing that has happened, nothing that cati bap pen, will weigh a feather against allowing the defendant upon this and every other question, not only the whole advantage he is entitled to from substantial law and justice, but. every benefit from the most critical-nicety of form, which any other defendant could claim underthe like ob jection. The only effect I feel is an anx iety to be able to explain the grounds up on "which we proceed ; so -as to satisfy all mankind ' that a flaw of form given way to in this case, should not have been got over in any other.9 "Jour, oj Law. ON WATCHING THE WEATHER. tie that observed! the wind shall jio sow, and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.' It always look.3 to me very suspicious, when I see a farmer ,turhing his eye fre quently to the clouds and watching sed ulously the actions of the wimjg.. It ap- pears as though he wanted an excuse to get rid of labor, arid is willing to 'throw the blame of his own idle and do-nothing disposition upon the weather. " The wind is very high to day, and it won't dd to sow at all ; all the., grain will blow away, tiere won't a kernel of it light invthe furrows ; it will ati be whistled away to the moon, or carried away into yonder swamp, where I shall never see it again. Heigh o! it will never do to sow in thissweather, I'm persuaded. Jose, you may unyoke the oxen, we shad have no use for 'them to-day. " uSuch were the observations of Mr. Lackadaisy, one fine morning, after wet ting his finger in his mouth, and holding it up to ee which way the wind was. j He couljl not sow, poor man, because the wind was so high ; it would blow all the grain away, and he. should lose his labor and the grain into the bargain. But the truth of it was, he had no disposition to sow, and was &riad even for a bad excuse, of putting it off, And this he cjntinued to do from dav to day,' though the weath er was as favorable for putting the seed into to the ground as the most carelul farmer c uld desire. At length, however, the grain vvas sown, thouirh so late in the season as not to produce above half a crop. But when the time of harvest came, there vvas the same disinclination to put- in the sickle, that there had formerly been to put in the seed. Pour Mr. Lackadaisy could never make up his m'r.nl to commence reaping, because he was so intently watch ing the clouds. - O this weather! this weather !? he would exclaim ' I shall never-be able to secure my grain it bents all I never a.w surh weather in my life 'Constantly cloudy! cloudy!'' . And so, turning up his eyes to the heavens and shaking his head, though there was scarcely a cloud to be seen, he would hang up his sickle, shoulder his angling rod, and go fishing. Even when the sky vvas perfectly clear, he would riot think of reaping. But alas! casting a dubious eye over the whole blue cauopv, he would say "This is the weather breeder we shall soon have a storm I never knew it fail when the sky was without a cloud ! It will never do to think of reaping with such a prospect; the grain vvili all be spoilt, it will sprout in the gravel ; it will mould in the sheaf. No ; I'd much rather have it standing than cut in such weather." ' So saying, Mr. Lackadaisy would again shoulder his angling rod and post oft' two or three miles a fishing. He seldom caught any thing ; but then he sometimes had someVorious nibbles, &. oven these he considered as better than reaping, with the 'signs of a storm coming on. lhus, from dav to day, hekeptanxiotislv watch- in" the weather, and wondered how his neighbours could be so rash, so blind to their own interest, as to think of cutting i tlieir grain with such a prospect before - - - I their eyes. Uuf, thank heaven!" said he, I understand the signs of the weather better than that comes,to." : r- Tu this manner, the harvest of Mr. Lackadaisy was put off until liis grain was mildewed, broken down, and shelled out to 'such a degree, as to be hardly worth reaping, lie did, however, cut it at last, but with the- loss of a great part of his half crop. TU strange !"'said he ''very strange ! how other people' tiash on, ami sow with out regarding the wind, and reap without paying any attention to the clouds, and yet they get good crops excellent crops : "while I, who spend nearly all the time in watching the winds and the clouds, scarcely raise enough to keep a hen from 'itarvitiP-! ' Tisverv strange, as I said j j '7 - before, but this is just my luck! Some how or other, it seems as if I never was made to prosper, notwithstanding all., the care I take in the management ot my business. If I were to pay no more re gard to the Weather than farmer Active and others do, 1 should be wholly ruined ; for as it is, I can scarcely kteep my head above the, water. But, thisj as I said before, is just my luck. . So reasoned and so acted Mr. Lacka daisy ; and so thousands of other idle, irresolute, donot.hing persons reason and act. They are glad of any i-xcme to put off the discharge of their duties ; to get rid of immediate labor ; to postpone till to-morrow what should be done to-day. And whfen they fail of success in business; when they do not reap where they have neglected t sow ; when they do not make money which they have not labour ed for, when they find themselves house less, supperless, and in rag ;,they throw all the blame upon their ill luck, and wonder how it happen that other people are more prosperous than tuemselves Ta.

Music exalts each j y, allays each grief,: Kxpeb disease, softens every pain, Subdues the rage of poison, and of plagued They undoubtedly entertain a very mean and degrading opinion of the polite arts who consider them merely as subservient to! amusement, or, at tnot to that cultiva tion of mind which cmulUt moras, necsinit esseferos The history of the world evin ces tfiat they have ajl a much higher and more beneficial influence upon the dispo sitions and happiness of man. .

We are not prepared to credit all that some of the ancients have affirmed rer specting the moral . irifluence of music t not that, . Things inanimate have moved, And, 'as-with living souls have been informed Bv maiic numbers and persuasive sounds We do not expect it to quiet a mob, V- . r .. , , i - ai y more man to unite a oroKen none,.

Canus, a musician at Rhodes; when Ap- pollonius inquired what "be could effect bv the means of music, replica, that he courd make, a melancholy man merry, a merry man mad, a lover more enamored, and a religious man more deyout. That it can soothe grief, and exhiiirate the depressed spirit, who that has an ear for melody, or heart to feel, has not experienced ? That it enlivens what was gay before, and can make even buffoonery tolerable, who that has listened to it amid the festival, or du ring a pantomime, will venture to deny, j To its martial eff-cts the annals of war fully testify, and few are found so low in sc; lit as not to have felt a kind of inspi ration of courage from the sound o: a inarch or tlie notes of a patriotic air. Tlie powerful influence of national 'or domestic music over the mind, is strik ingly evinced in the instance of the Scot- tishhi:rhlanders and the natives of Swit- zerland ; certain tunes, associated with their homes and country, being played in their hearing, causes so violent a desire to revisit them as to induce the deepest we cannot deny that they are important Excuses for not attending-public Worship, auxiliaries to the worship of the Deity, fWw -f 1- v i.i i ' i ,, J Overslept myself; could nf dress in time. and that. they assumes tha most attractive Too co'dToo hotJ! w;.j-rrtViX melancholy even terminating in death '1 he valley is surrounded by high, steep when circumstances prevent their desire a'd craggy mountains, which form a no from being accompl ished.
