FEMALE POLTRY In painting the milder affection« «ut nature, the poetesses of all age* have been eminently suc cessful. Love, friendship, and filial »flection, dÀtf wear a more beautiful garb than when ornament«; by. a female hand. It la not the province of woman to aurmAunt the craggy mountain, and to delight in the terrors which »he views from its brow, or to traverse the pathless ocean, and to rejoice in its dan gerous sublimity; but it is her pleasant employ lo walk amid beds of flower« and there to gather tbo sweetest, the tenderest; and the most beautifuf. These remarks are parliculatly applicable to » work, hastily noticed in our Inst number—wo allude to the poems of Mil* H. F. Gould. Thete is something m the poetry of this lady, which speaks moat earnestly from the heart, and which teaches us a mild sod lovely wisdom. It doe* not terrify, but wins to goo&u-xs—it is placid and afflectionate, and earnest-hearnd. Take for instance the follow tag piece «^illustrative of our rtfaarke: THE PLAVT.llNfjS Oh! mother, here's the very top, That brother used lo spin ; The vaseVtlh seeds I've scop him drop Tocalbwur robin tu; ' . x Tlie line that held his pretty kite, His bow, hia cap, and brill, The slate on which ho learned to write, Ilia feather, cap, and .all! * * My dear, Pd put the things away • Just where they were Imfore; -Go, Anna, take bitu out to play, And ahnt the closet door, 8weot innocent! lie Ihtle thinks The «lightest thought expressed Of him that's lost, how deep it fink» Within a mother's breast. -IV.

Thus tin sympathy which works of fiction excite, though it baa ill it something tender and romantic, by no mesas in volves real feeling. The young verted in romances will, no doubt, acquire the lan guage of teatiment. She wilt have a a'gh, and s tear lor every occasion,—a languishing look, and a palpitation;' she. will condole with every woman who >■ nervous tale of distress, and be exuberant, at least in her proférerons of sympathy. She will oven imagine it pretty and picturesque to appear in a cottage, to drop a guinea on a poor man's table and to receive, with blinking uiqdeaty. *"• Uviab thanks. But when the efibet is reully made, wbon site finds that charity involves self denial and exertion, thst Bhe must nsc from the luxuriant couch, aud sod tier silken sandals, and encounter, perhaps rudenew and ingratitude from the object of har relief; and all that, ia to bo dono without observation orap plause; that there is no one to Overhear her silver voice, or to watch her gliding footsteps, or lo trace lier fairy form as she passes dhwn the village street ; then tier philanthropic ardor cools,she shrinks from the painful duly, and discovers that what is very in teresting and poetic in description, is very dull and "irksome it) practice. Tho very morbidpess of lier sensibility is'a bar to the real exorcisa of benevo lence: she cannot bear to look upon pain; there is so much that is offensive in human misery, tnd un romantic in its detail; there ia so much that i* ap palling In scenes of misery, and sickness, and death, I hat she recoils from tho mere observation of such calamities, and shuts lier eyes and closes hor ears to genuine distrore, from the same feeling» that cause her to scream at the approar.lv of a spidor, or faint at the sight of blood. Yet she delights to imaginary griefs, to live in an ideal world, ind so «»pamper her fancy, and excite lier senat •■ility, that they alone become lo her prolific sources of unhappiness.— Mrs. Sanford's VVgmun in her Social and Domestic Character. nurse Cherry ripe.—One of tho gay wniter* of the days • if Charles tho 2d, describing the beauties ol Hamp ton Court, thus speaks of Lady Castleman's eyes and lipa.—"Castlerosn*» eyes and lips wore haugh ty and lafitping, not so handsome a* her month, which liowr vet waa a little pouting.

However, the lips were as hesutiful, as health, plumpness, and a smiling outline could make them. They irrre so red, that when the sun shone upon them, ' they absolutely seemed to sparkle like cher ries. ... A Cure for Gallantry.—A young officer of the National Guard, lias >u*t received a check which Will .probably cure him of gallantry for life. He had tormented the preljy wife of a dyer some time, with letters of «omplimcnls, fol lowed her about lixe a shadow, and, nt last, became terribly importunate; (lust she revealed the affair to her husband, who desired her to give him an sp poiiflmetii.—Hardly had tho conference began, when the dyer and several of Ins workmen appear ed, and seizing the unhappy lover, gave him a goon sousing in a tub of indigo. Then, in order that ihe dye might lie solid nnd durable, they made him stand before i large fironill lie was entirely dry. Unfortunately he was obliged to attend parade next day, and in consequence ro fnade such a plentiful iiso of soap and Eau Je Cologne, that trie tint of indigo disappeared, hut it was to give place to a beautiful sky blue.— Court Journal. • • » so .
