THE GARLAND.
SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1824.
The length of the selected articles for this number, has excluded some communications. But we think the reader will find remuneration in a perusal of the tale which is continued, and other matters which diversify our columns. We trust we have no gossips among our readers ; but if we have, we venture to say, a peep into "The Minron," will in some measure prove of service to them. The mortification which Miss Polly Gaw experienced, by indulging in her news-bearing propensity, may be saved to many, if they will only take the trouble to hear accurately before they speak. Zeno said-- "For this reason we have two ears, and but one tongue--that we should hear much and speak but little."
The following beautiful description is from an article in Knight's Quarterly Magazine, a London periodical publication, which is graced by the compositions of the celebrated Thomas Moore :
"The most beautiful object in the world, it will be allowed, is a beautiful woman. But who that can analyze his feelings, is not sensible that she owes her fascination less to grace of outline and delicacy of color, than to a thousand associations which, often unperceived by ourselves, connect those qualities with the source of our existence, with the nourishment of our infancy, with the passions of our youth, with the hopes of our age, with elegance, with vivacity, with tenderness, with the strongest of natural instincts, with the dearest of social ties?"
