Madly it bursts along-even as a river
That gathers strength in its most fierce career;
The black and lofty pines a moment quiver
Before its breath,-but as it draws more near,
Crash-and are seen no more! Fleet-footed fear,
Pale as that whiterobed minister of wrath,

Written near la Croix de la Flegere, in the Vale In silent wilderment her face doth rear, of Chamouni. *

The four great masters of the rima' ottava,

Whom I regard with very great respect;
I hope you'll not imagine that I have a

Contempt, an undervaluing, a neglect
Of their superior names, if I should crave a
Like share of rhyming tact with those select
Princes of this Italian kind of strain-
But bards, and even rhymesters, will be vain.

I wrote the first verse on this fine calm day,
Standing and musing on this lovely shore,
Where, 'gainst the coast of a romantic bay,

Th' Atlantic waves dash in perpetual roar;

Close by my side the little village lay,

To give its name in verse will be a job-
Nestling near rocks whence eagles love to soar,
(But here I go to try)-Ballidehob.

I to this place some days ago came down,
Partly to lounge, partly to 'scape a duel,
A practice which I don't admire, I own,

As being somewhat dangerous and cruel;

Which Valour kindles;-they may say their

And now, as on the freshening grass I lay,
Just as oblivious as a dandy lord,
Forgetful of the duel, or the fray,

The opprobrious name, the pistol, or the
sword,

Finding that I had versified away,

Not thinking I composed a single word, Says I, I'll send my verses light and airy, To the Gazette surnamed the Literary.

I like that journal well. But then perchance,
Lines without title, meaning, or connection,
May not delight the editorial glance

Of him, whose name there is no need to men-

PARODY.

"Tis the last glass of Claret, Left sparkling alone,

All its rosy companions

Are clean'd out and gone. No wine of her kindred, No Red Port is nigh,

To reflect back her blushes.

And gladden my eye.

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
This desert to crown:

As the bowls are all einpty,

Thou too shalt float down.

Thus kindly I drink up
Each drop of pure red,
And fling the bright goblet
Clean over my head.

So soon may dame Fortune
Fling me o'er her head,
When I quit brimming glasses,
And bundle to bed.
When Champaigne is exhausted,
And Burgundy's gone,
Who would leave even Claret,
To perish alone.

[blocks in formation]

To distant skies that hurricane has rolled.
But oh! the wreck it left! Could tongue unfold
The matchless horrors of those cumbered plains,

'Twould chill the current in a warrior's veins.
And yet, that field of anguish, brief as keen,
Was but the centre of the one wide scene
Of human misery. Oh! who shall say
How many wounded spirits, far away,
Are left to groan thro' long, chill bitter years,
Beneath the woe that nothing earthly cheers?
Shall Glory be the widowed bride's relief?
She feels it but a mockery of grief.
Shall Glory dry the childless mother's tears?
Harsh grate the notes of Fame upon her ears!
Thine are no Spartan matrons, favoured isle!
Gentle as fair! The sunshine of their smile,
Where the proud victor loves to bask, is set.
With sorrow's dew the loveliest cheeks are wet.

Throughout the land is gone a mourning voice;

A village on the southern coast of the county of Cork, most romantically situated. The surrounding country is very beautiful, and abounding in mineral productions. Several mines are worked there by Colonel Hall.

And broken are the hearts that should rejoice.
Dimly as yet the Crown of Victory shines;
Where cypress with the blood-stained laurel
twines.

But there shall Time the brightest verdure
breathe,

And pluck the gloomy foliage from her wreath,
Then proudly shall Posterity retrace,

First in the deathless honors of their race,
That giant fight: which crushed Napoleon's
power,

And saved the world. Far distant is the hour,
Unheard of, yet, the deed our sons must do,
That shall eclipse thy glory, Waterloo!

Cambridge Chron.

Verse from "Alis and Alexis.”
En lui toute fleur de jeunesse
Apparoissoit;

Mais longue barbe, air de tristesse,
La ternissoit:

Si de jeunesse on doit attendre
Beau coloris,

Paleur, qui marque une ame tendre,
A bien son prix.

ATTEMPTED.

In him each flower of manly grace,
Each youthful charm appeared;
Though tarnished by a sorrowing face,
And by a length of beard.

If we expect that youth impart
Colours of lovely hue,
Paleness, that marks the feeling heart,
Has its attractions too.

THE DRAMA.

theatrical distress, she drops her mask, and their union crowns the whole.

Harley has a very whimsical character of gastronomical humour; a number of the jests and allusions in which to the noble science of eating, produce much laughter. There is also a very fair Polonius, of a minor court, a tolerable politician. These, with Miss Kelly (the Princess), conspire suffici ently against the mind of the audience, to ensure a favourable reception for the opera; which, being shortened, will, we think, be long relished. The comic songs are very far from being dull, as the generality of modern comic songs are; and the music is pretty, and the acting good.

Miss Macauley's Entertainments. This lady closed the series of entertainments which she has been giving at the Argyle Rooms, on Wednesday, and seemed to have acquired strength from success, as she certainly evinced greater powers than even her friends gave her credit for. Some of her recitations were powerfully affecting; and in a few instances she gave startling proofs of her skill to command the higher emotions. Unprepared for so vigorous an effect, the company were inclined to smile at the surprize which had overtaken them; but it must be confessed that such electrical strokes are evidence of a very singular combination of judgement and energy. Dress, action, and other concomitants, heightened this treat, for such it was; and we, so sceptical heretofore, are bound to say, that Miss M. displayed abilities of a very superior order.

VARIETIES.

Inside Observations.-An ancient philosopher wished for a window to the human breast: the following is the nearest approach to actual acquaintance with the inward structure that we know of.-Dr. Laennec, of Paris, has invented a machine for investigating diseases in the organs of the chest. It is a cylinder about a foot long, and 14 inch in diameter, pierced lengthwise by a hole threeeights of an inch wide, and widened at one end in the form of a funnel the whole diameter of the cylinder. It acts partly as a prolongation of the external ear, partly by magnifying the sounds within the chest, and is well calculated to improve the knowledge of several important and obscure disorders.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. Woman's Will, a Riddle-A three-act opera, under this title, from the pen of Mr. E. T. Swift, was produced, on Thursday, at the ancient Lyceum. With the blemish of being a full hour too long, it is otherwise a pleasing and amusing drama. Not looking for perfect plot or nature in such pieces, we freely grant the author the liberty he has taken, of founding his play on an utter improbability, and carrying it on by means of circumstances, to find reasons for which would puzzle better guessers than his hero. A certain duchess of Mantua, or Mantua duchess, is at the head of this musical world; (nea Mantua Cremona fecit, quoth Mr. Davy, the composer) and she takes it into her head to order the head of one Casario to be cut off, unless he solves the riddle of what is a Woman's Will? He disliking this proposed Cæsarean operation, runs away, and the princess, old Mantua's daughter, being in love with him, runs after him. Withheld for some cause or other, from telling him the solution of the question, she Double Musical Performance.-Mr. James assumes various disguises, and tries to hint Watson, a blind musician of Dundee, in him up to it.

Method of Preserving Vessels.—An American ship now at Cowes, built with spruce and white oak, sixteen years ago, has all her original timbers and planks in the most perfect state of preservation and soundness, owing to her having been, while on the stocks, filled up between the timbers with salt; and whenever she has been opened for examination filled up again.
