THE LOVE OF GLORY.

How should we shrink from the prospect, if the hearts of those who pant for what the world terms glory, were unfolded to our eyes?

TO CORRESPONDENTS. THE ORDEAL contains no rude instruments of torture, but measures merit by the standard of truth. Genius will rest unhurt; but dullnes, ignorance and folly must expect that the ploughshare of criticism will pass so thoroughly over the soil as to clear it of its weeds.

The Theatrical censors of New-York and Philadelphia have been exceeding ly popular in design and interesting in execution, and we confidently rely on the taste, judgment and information of our valuable correspondent to give equal celebrity to this departmnt of our

rhyme is within the reach of the most ordinary writer. Some examples however will shew that Mr. Whitwell is not very happy in his versification, and that we can see nothing in his numbers upon which we can felicitate the author "that he can so sweetly tune his lyre" or "sing such harmonious strains."

We solicit future communications

from the writer.

CELERITAS is very leisurely dull for "a man in a hurry:" we remind him of the adage "Festina lente."

We agree with a subscriber "that familiar proverbs would make good themes for dissertations" and we shall be happy to receive any he will send us.

OPINIATOR must "ruminate" rather longer before he attempts the amusement of the public.
