THE CARRIAGE SCENE. 

 [bv montgomhrv.] 

 ■'• Young, chasle, and lovely— pleased, yd half afraid, 

 Before yon alter droops a pligliiec! maid. 

 Clad in her bridal robe ol taintless while. 

 Dumb with the scene ami trepid with delight; 

 Around hftr hymeneal guardians stani'., 

 Each with a lender look and feeliug bland j 

 And oil she turns her beauty-beaming eye, 

 Dinim'd with a (earol'happir.esj gont- by ! 

 Then coyly views, in youth's commanding pride, 

 Herown adored one paniing by her side ; 

 Like lilies bending from the noon tide blaje, 

 IIci- bashlhl eye-lids drnoj) beneath his gaze ; 

 While love and homage blend their blissful power. 



And shed a halo roum) his man iage hour; 



What though his chance abounding hie ordain 



A path ol anguish and precarious pain ; 



1 .y wane or woe, where'er coinpell'd he rove, 



A rot's a palace by the light of love! 



There beats one heart which, until death, will be 



A gushing, glowing fount of sympathy ; 



One frownle.ss eye to kindle with his own, 



One changeless friejidv.hen other friends are flown 3 



O ! sanction Thou the love-united pair, 



Fountain of love ! for Tiiou art present there.'' 



1 ritsliiiig like a mighty torrent from tlie liills down 



1 upon tlie abodes of peace — broke open the plan- 



tift''s door — separated the weejiing mother from 



her screeching infant — and took away my client's 



ifie, gentlemen of the jury, for which we charge 



\jifieen dollars. 



The wise man has his foUies no less than the 

 fool : but it has been said, that herein Ues the dif- 

 ference, the follies of the fool are known to the 

 world, but are hidden from himself; the follies of 

 the wise man are known to himself, but hidden 

 froiri the world. A harmless hilarity, and a buoy- 

 ant clieerfuUiess are not unfrequeut concomitants 

 of genius ; and we are never more deceived, than 

 when we mistake gravity for greatness, solemnity 

 for science, and pomposity for erudition. 



Society indeed has its great men and it.s little 

 men, as the earth has its mountains and its val- 

 leys. But the inequalities of intellect, hkn the in- 

 equalities of the sm'face of our globe, bear so 

 small a proportion to the mass, that, in calculating 

 its great revolutions, they may safely be neglect- 

 ed. The sun illuminates the hills, while it is still 

 below the horizon ; and truth is discovered by the 

 highest minds a little before it becomes manifest 

 to the multitude. This i.s the extent of their su- 

 periority. They are the first to catch and reflect 

 a light, which, without their assistance, must iu a 

 short time be visible to those who lie far beneath 

 them.

potent appetite of the learned Doctor, Garrick in-

 the great amusement of the company — the Doc- 

 ti'i c.-iccpled ; who, when the laugh had subsided, 

 thus addressed the party : "Gentlemen, you must 

 doiibtles.s suppose, from the e.vtreme famiUarity 

 with which ]\Ir. Garrick iias thought fit to treat 

 me, that I am an acquaintance of liis ; but I can 

 assure you, that till 1 met him here I never saw 

 him but once before, and then I paid five shillings 

 for the sight," Roseius was silent. 



A dotvnnght Appeal — not a Hint We have 



seen a paragraph, taken from a Southern paper, 

 aii.l which is now travelling itself to death as fast 

 as it can, stating that a gentleman late!}' deceased 

 in Carolina, had never permitted his subscription 

 to the newspaper to be liehiud, and that as the 

 same could be said of so few men, is worth record- 

 ing on his tomb stone. Verily, we say amen to 

 this. This man stands next to him who returned 

 a borrowoil umbrella ! What higher praise can 

 there be, than have your printer say, '-You always 

 })am me." How cfear, tcb, must be the man's con- 

 science who reads a paper he knov/s he has paid 

 for. With what enviable satisfaction does he un- 

 fold the damp sheet ! He feels him.sclf under no 

 obligation, that the printer is absolutely beholden 

 to him. *Tli!s is the very feeling we would have 

 all our subscibers experience — that we are in debt 

 to them for a year's jiaper — not that they are in 

 debt to us. Now tliinlc not, gentle leadcrs — you 

 that have ))a!iently followed usthu.? far — that there 

 is any hint in tliis — not any. It is too plain for a 

 liint — it is a downright appeal— but whether to 

 your pity or your pockets, we shall wait an answer 

 by the return of mail Truth-Teller.
