CHWwer'kimjiyiu*’ VViien Fortune puninf by flint wiy* ..SKSCTTJidfSS-"— “ If l ow frm> to Wkit, •< Alu!” «rW Low. **r** •»* yeffcuud A presentable dish 5 Bet here are »w«*#,a/«m*r see, Aad several lutle/<X fish. * My leek of late has been eo bad, That I, who caught so mnny, Now think myself supremely blew, That I have netted any." * ' “|Ti» even «bf” replied the nymph, . •• book ntthy broken tackle; No fish hut tprati and Jloundert, boy, Will find thy not n shackle : Tbv atm has lost its wonted strength, Net* needest thou be told, Thy net is much too slight for use, Unless its links were gold.” The sod look’d grave“ come now,” cri’d she, “Til weave thy net afresh, And sea if any living thinij, Resists my golden mnskr-7 Depend upon it, fish will bile. In spite of wind or weather, If thou will only throw in nets Which I have wove together." And so-it prov’d—Love fish’d away, At ebb and flow of tide. And user drew a plenteous store, When Fortune’s nets were ply’d; Rut if by chance, through vanity, He chose his own light red, The fish would nibble, break away, And disappoint the god. GENIUS—TALENT—CLEVE&JWM, Genius rushes like a whirlwind—Talent Marches like a cavalcade of heavy men and heavy horse*—Cleverness skims like a swallow in a summer evening, with a sharp note and a sudden turning. The man of goaius dwells with nature; the man of ta lent in h>» study; but the clever man dances here and there, and every where, like a butterfly in a hurricane, striking eve tty thing and enjoying nothing, but too fight to be dashed to pieces. The man oi talent will attack theories—the clever to an will assail the individual and slander pri vate character. But the man of genius despiseth both, he heeds none, hollars none, and walks forth an example1, that " eagles fly alone,—they are but sheep that herd together.” It is true, that should a poisonous worm crose'liis path, he may tread it under his foot; should a cur snarl at him he may chastise it; but he will not, cannot attack the privacy of an other. Clever men write verses, men of talent write prose, but men of genius write poetry.— Wilson’s Lectures on Poetry. Fetch the Doctor.—The late lamented Dr. Baillie was allowed to be the most at tentive man to his patients in the profes sion ; but nothing annoyed him so much as to be sent for to attend to trifles or fan cied illness. He was called one evening *to attend Lady H-: he immediately repaired to the house and found the Lady in apparent good health. The doctor, however, prescribed a gentle opiate, evi dently endeavoring to conceal his chagrin, and then made his rotreat; but he had scarcely reached the bottom of the stairs when Miss H—— called from above, " Dr. Baillio, pray may mamma eat oys ters for supper l” “ O dear, yes, Miss,” was the reply, “ shells and all, if she pleas es.” — The First Oath*— My lads, said a cap* thin, when reading his orders to the crew ' on the quarter deck, to take the command ' of a ship, there is one law 1 am deter* $£■ mined to make and I shall insist upoti its being kept j indeed it is a favor which I f nsk of you, and which, as a British officer, I expect will be granted by a crew of Brit ish seamen. What say you, my lads, are you willing to grant your new captain one favor 1 Aye, aye, cried all hands, let’s know what it is, sir. Well, my lads, said the captain, it is this; that you must allow me to swear the first oath in this ship.— No man on board must swear an oath be foro I do} I am determined to have the privilege of swearing the first oath on board. What say you my lads, will you grant me this favor 1 The men stared, and stood for a moment quite at a loss what to say. They were taken, says one, ' all a-hsck.' They were brought up, says another * all standing.' The captain reit erated : Now, my fine fellows what do you say s am I to have the privilege of swear the captain so kind and prepossessiog, that a general burst from the ship’s company announced, Aye, aye, sir, with their ac customed three cheers. The effect was good—swearing was wholly abolished in the ship.—English pa.

We consider Dr. Webster ns eminently qualified to prepare a work of this kind.

This certifies, that I have perused “ A History nf the United States,” written by Noah Webster, LL. D. It is well calculated to benefit the rising generation. It gives an intuitive and correct view ol the most im portant events unending the discovery and history uf North Amerien. It is adapted to the wants, capacity and taste of youth. 1 hope it may find a place ia eve nt library, and especially in our High and Common Schools. The purity of ns.style, and the correctness of its facts, must plouse every patron of science, and every friend of virlne and humanity. DocL Webster was the first man who succeeded ia uiieatptiog to an alyse or parse the English language. Ha has dona more to explain its true principles, to investigate its peculiar idioms, to trace iM etymology, and banish its corruptions, than any othsr|tPrson that ever livetL— His name ought to be revered, and his philological writings ought to be studied, by every classical scho lar, and more especially by every American, who ia disposed 10 pnirunixe learning, or encourage religion. sept. 3,1033.
