Suicide' Excuse Life all sorrow and puin.
Why will man lire to heave the sigh
Why bear his heavy lod!
It it a crime to dare to die,
To die, and meet thy God?
Tis nought but sorrow hre on earth
Tis nought but pain and woe;
Man's destin'd, from his early birth,
To mia'ry here below.
His Says are few, his sorrows great,
Hi joya are not secure (
How weak, how vain hi mortal state,
Hi hope and blisa impure.
Hi it-pa beet with arlful wile,
Dark danger on each hand
Ilia word bctray'd by treach'rou .milei,
Hi thought are boely cann'd.
Ilia actions trumpeted aloud,
By envy and by spite ;
The jet, the scorn of every crowd,
To earth a hateful eight.
To trust hia friendship is a crime,
Fur Viat he ne'er docs prove
And loathsome is the weary time
When man will speak of love.
His love is feigu'd his oaths are lies--
His friendship but a snare;
.ilia reckless honor haa no ties,
Gut interest or self-care.
In vilest form man is conceived,
To answer any will :
Deceives his friend, himself deceived,
His purpose to fulfil.
Oh! why endure this earthly strife
Say, why endure this pain?
' Til God thatare man's hateful life,
And God ahall have again!

Tn'e utmost splendor and variety of decora

Sudden as a whirlwind it came over the
proudest of rising cities founded on the
sea that had defied and escaped the ven
geance of the Roman and the Goth, and
was now bearded in its temples and palaces
by a band of desperate adventurers by rob
bers and pirates. The spouse of the sea,

which announced the superiority or good
fortune of the people. To give this more
marked distinction, Audrea held his youthful
bride in jbne arm, in the other the head of
thp nirate chief; and shouts rent the air
which proclaimed the victory throughout the
wide seigniory of Venice. Not a pirate es
caped it was the triumph of fidelity in the
ica;t 01. a bold and simple people.
Had it not been for the speedy death of
me roDoer cniei, aii usy, tne contest would
have been rnore prolonged. It was a blow
to the pride of the lords as w'ell as the pi
rates, when the heads of the latter exhibi
ted at the prows of the vessels, counted more
than two for one in the boats of the common
sailors and fishermen of the thousand isles.
Not a pirate boat escaped which they at
tacked; they complete their work before
the patricians; for, with a noble and mag
nanimous hdclity which evinced the love of
their order, instead of assisting the grandees
they attacked the violators of their own
loves, and were the first, amidst the shouts
of the entire city, to boar them back to their
nuptial homes. The Doge had the noble
ness and good tact to honor the precedence
thus won by the commons; crowned with
laurel wreaths and garlands, the same with
which they had thrown themselves on their
bridal prowess, they now marshalled their
way back with their young wives and the
heads of their too daring ravishers, to their
hap'py frien'ds and relatives. Young Andrea
and bis bride were received with the accla
mations of everr rank; for all feelings
jealously were' for the moment lost, and the
dance and revelry were renewed.
The bodies of the pirates were, by order
of tho Doge, thrown into the sea, while their
heads remained tho trophies of their con-
querors. I he little gate by which they
returned from the pursuit was named the

were glad to do so of every thing else, being
a remarkably exact and mercantile people.
With their eye upon tho property tif other
states as well as their own. Twelve of the
higher ranks were headed by the Doge, the
council and its attendants in state; and it
was customary for the whole procession first
to enter the church in the little island of
Olivolo, where they awaited their bride
grooms, surrounded by throngs of spectators,
and heard tho mass, followed by a discourse
upon reciprocal duties, which we had rather
leave to the imagination of our fair readers,

Throwing himself into one of the first boats,
the Doge had but one order upon his lips,

breeze rose brisker as they strained every
