Washington Irving has compared the en. dearments and cancellations of the other sex. in times of diversity and grief, to ti,c vine bending it's caressing tendrlls around the oak. This beautiful thought, by go means original with the author ol the Sketch Book, we find thus versihed in New Hampshire paper.

 .Buney Telegraph. When from the cloud the thunder driven And hurl'd upon the mountain oak, Its tall maj estic trunk, has riVeB.

 And all its towering branches broke; A Around that trunk, around those arms, The tender vine caressIng cings, A md wrcathipg there Its softest charms, New life and strength and beauty brings And when the thunderbolt of woe

 Has marked the sons of mortal olrth, And aiming at our bliss the blow,

 Has riven and broke Us to the earth T hen woman's love, vine more dear, As fondly wreaths its charms around, To soothe each pang, to dry each tear, And kindly bind mp every wound.
