... GAZEL. 1. See see the laughing morn advances O'er the jocund mead, His careering steed— Wreathed and pressing the rose bed prances; On the morning wine, Divine, oh! divine,- Friends of my soul, the wine fill up, Till red as life's blood is the stream in your cup. The trickling dew on that tulip's cheek, The tears of the morn, For the joung day born,- Wept at its birth by its mother meek, W ...

... I am a sexagenarian, living among the hills of ancient Siluria, and have not been an inattentive observer of the great changes which are swelling, like a tide, around us. I have not been borne away upon its surface; nor shall it, if I can help it, run up my mountain. I am one of the school, contemptuously called the old, and I deem it right not to be silent, when I hear that school assailed ...

SrR,—In the course of the inquiries which took place on Mon- day last, before our town magistrates, relative to the charge of breaking Mrs. Lorimer's window, on the night of the 26th of October last, I believe it was very strongly insinuated, on the part of the defence, that Elizabeth Hoskins, the principal witness for the complainant, was influenced in giving her evidence, in expectation of ...

... Some of the following brief accounts of the closing scenes of men of genius may tend to show how far a predominant passion, or favourite pursuit, may influence the mind even at the latest hour of life. In nearly every instance, the ruling passion strong in death, is found to be displayed. Rousseau, when dying, ordered his attendants to place him before the window, that he might once more ...

... What is to become of the sons and the daughters ? No man likes that his son should fall, or his daughter marry, into a circle much inferior to his own especially in England, where this sort of degradation, like absolute poverty, is disgraceful if not criminal. Every Englishman of property, moreover, likes that his eldest son should inherit nearly the whole of his property. What then, when ...
