throughout the female part of the rational creation, if, by an inverse ratio, the premises are to be inferred from the conclusion; for it would appear now to be considered as an indispensable branch of female tuition, from the young lady of rank down to the huckster's daughter. Hence it naturally follows, that there must be a great increase in the number of labourers, where the harvest is so abundant. (By the way, I would suggest, that a certain class of these pupils be consigned over to the care of the journeymen pianoforte makers, to be taught to set the stops agoing, as coming more immediately within their mechanical department.) Among this mass of teachers, there must be comparatively few who will, or indeed can be expected to exert much extra labour, unless where the pupil shews a decided genius, and seems to derive pleasure from it; and the more especially where, perhaps in nine cases out of ten, there is little risk of either the teacher's defects, or the pupil's want of capacity, being detected by her relatives.

TRANSLATION OF THE LA

THE hour is come, replete with woes,
Nicé, my love, adieu,

No ray of bless the future shows,

"Tis darkness to my view.

Can I enjoy the balm of rest,

If distant far from thee?

What boding fears alarm my breast
Thou wilt not think of me!

Though peace is banish'd from my mind,
And hope's gay joys are flown;
Still would my thoughts these phantoms
find,

Where thou art found alone:
Ah! let them stray, by fancy led,

In vision's paths with thee; But yet, alas! how much I dread

Thou wilt not think of me!

The sea's lone shore my grief shall know,
I'll mourn like widow'd dove,
I'll ask the rocks, with ceaseless woe,
Ah! tell me where's my love?
Each morning's beams my voice shall hear,
That voice which calls on thee;
But yet, alas! how much I fear
Thou wilt not think of me!

I'll visit oft each flowery vale,

Each scene to me once dear,
Where joy was breath'd by every gale,
When thou, my love, wast near;

nence, I am aware, has often an invidious and disagreeable duty to perform, when he discovers in his pupil (which he will very soon do,) that the soil is all barren; he will naturally shrink from the ungracious task of communicating this to the young lady's parents or friends, and representing to them that it is a fruitless expenditure of their money and of her time, both which might be more profitably employed on other branches of instruction. And indeed were he to do so, he will not always receive the thanks to which his candour surely would justly entitle him. Rather than encounter this, it were not to be wondered at, if he should persevere for a time, with much trouble and little complacency; and the reading and fingering being surmounted, he may, by mechanical rules, (for he can do it in no other way,) possibly make her, in a tolerable degree, mistress of a certain collection of fashionable airs, to be exhibited as occasion may occur. The former of these two alternatives, however, has, I believe, been conscientiously and honourably adopted in many instances. J. S.

PARTENZA OF METASTASIO.
Remembrance sad, in every part,
My torment now must be ;
What fears, alas! distract my heart
Thou wilt not think of me!

This stream, I'll say, with crystal wave, Was witness to my pain

To see her frown; but then she gave

Her hand in peace again; "Twas here I oft have seen the smile,

'Twas here I sigh'd for thee; But will e'er hope again beguile? Say, wilt thou think of me ?

How many swains, with love sincere,
And hearts to thee most true-
How many scenes of hope and feat

Thy new abode will view!

While each fond breast its homage shows,

And pours its griefs to thee, Who knows, my love, alas! who knows If thou wilt think of me?

Remember oft, when once we part,

My deep, yet pleasing wound, Remember oft, Phileno's heart Was ever constant found: Remember oft this sad farewell Which now I give to thee,

Oh! think, my love-but who can tell If thou wilt think of me?
