What wohd'rous links the human feelings bind
How strong the ferret fympathics of mind!
As fancy's pidlur'd forms around us move,
We hope, or fear, rejoice, detest, or love :
Nor heaves the sigh for sflfish woes alone,
Congenial sorrows mingle with our-own ;
Hence, as the poet's raptur'd eye-balls roll,
The fond delirium seizes all his foul;
And,whilft his pulse concordant meafurcs keeps,
He fn iles in transport, or in anguish weeps.
But, ah, lamented (hade, not thine to know
The anguish only of imagin'd woe !
, Defliu'd o'er life's substantial ills to mourn,
~ And fond parental ties untimely torn#!
}Then whilst thy bosom, lab'ring with its grief,
From fabled sorrows fought a short relief,
I The FANCIED woes, too true to nature's tone,
Burst the flight barrier, and became thy own ;
• Ip-mingled tides the swelling passions ran,
.Abforb'd the adlor, and overwhelm'd the man !
Martyr of sympathy, more sadly true
Than ever FANCY feign'd, or POET drew !
• Say why, by heav'n's acknowledg'd hand
impreft,
Such keen sensations acuate all the bread ?
Why throbs the heart for joys that long have
fled?
I Why lingers hope around the silent dead ?
[ Why spurns the spirit its incumbering clay,
I And longs to four to happier realms away ?
I} Does heav'n, unjust, the fond desire inflill,
1) To add to mortal woes another ill ?
I ^ h there, through all the intellectual frame,
,No kindred mind that prompts the nightly
Idream;
Or in lone matings of remembrance fwect,
' infos the secret wifh.once more to meet ?
# There is ; for not b J more determin'd laws
The sympathetic ftcel tbp magnet draws,
„ Than the ft ecd spirit adls, with strong controul,
On its refponliva fympathics of foul;
—O—
Thursday morning bl appeared ratter
dejeaed, ill all tbe effort: of bis friends were scarce-
I, capable of roufiag Lim from tbefate of melancholy
in which be seemed to have funk. In tbe evening of
that da, be appeared in tbe character of tbe Stran
ger, in tbe new play of that name, and in tbe two
jirf alls exerted bimfelf with great effia: in tbe
third be aifplayed evident marks of depreffon, and
as be was about to reply to tbe quflion of Baron
Steinfort, relative to bis children, be was unufuall,
agitated. He endeavoured to proceed, but bis feel
ings evidently overcame him, and when be came to
tbefe lines,
God ! God !
,1 here is another, and a better world !"
Tbe band of Jeatb arrfed bis progress, and be in
fant/, fell upon bis back, heaved a convufive JWL
and expired immediate/,, without a groan. Tbe
audience fuppofedfos the moment that bis fall was
nothing mo, e than a fudied addition to the part, but
on feeing him carried off in deadly fiffnefs, tbe utmof
afonifement and terror became depicted in every
countenance.
" Hammerton, Callan, and Mara, were tbe perform
who conveyed tbe lifclefs corpfefram tbef age into
tbe fene-room. Medical affanee was immediate
ly procured; bis veins were opened, but they yield
,i not afugle drop of blood, and every means of re
fofcitation was bad recourse to without effed, Tbe
Gentlemen of tbe faculty finding ever, means inef
fectual, formal!, announced bis death). Tbe piercing
frieks of tbe women, tbe heavy Jigbs of tbe men,
which succeeded this melancholy annunciation, ex
ceeded the power of language to describe. Tbefcr
gical operations upon tbe body continued about an
hour, after which all hopes of recovery having van
ijbed, be was carried home to bis lodgings on a bier.
Mr.Aickin, the manager, came on tbef age to an
nounce tbe melancholy event to the audience, but
teas fa completely overcome with grief as to be in
capable of uttering a sentence, and was at Ir oth
forced to retire without being able to make bim/etf
underwood; be was bathed in tears, and for tbe mo
ment funk under tbe feelings of bis manly nature.
Incledon then cameforward, and muf ercd fefficient
refutation to communicate tbe dreadful circumflance.
Tbe boufe was infant!, evacuated in mournful Ji.
lence,and tbe people forming themselves into parties,
contemplated tbe fatal occurrence in tbe openfquare
till tbe next morning.
" Drs, MitebeU and Corr, gave it as tbeir opinion,
that be certainly died of a broken heart, in conse
quence of tbe family offiflions which be bad lately
experienced.
" Mr. Palmer was in tbesytb year of bis age. Be
ing involved, for some years pef, in pecuniary cm
barroffmentf, bis creditors, not long face, injured
'Lis life, at Blackfriars, for 20001. which sum
they are of course entitled to by bis much lamented
death.-— — His damf is misfortunes deeply affixed
bis mind, and be once said to bis friend Mr. Hurst,
'' I fear, my dear friend, that my own ajfli&ions
[alluding to tbe recent loss of bis wife, and favorite
son) will very Jbortly bring me to my grave."
" AJlone is to be placed nt the bead of tbe grave with
tbe following lines inferibed, which were tbe soft
words hefyoke :-—
•'Oh ! God ! God !
" There is another, and a better world !"
Mr. Palmer having left behind him eight children,a
benefit ires given for the four youngeJl of them at
tbe Opera boufe, and nue are bappy to fay, that
tbe receipts of tbe boufe amounted to upwards of
,001. On this benevolent occafon tbe Heir at
Law, ord tbe Children in the Wood, were re
prefcnted,and performed with uncommon animation.
An address, written by Mr. Colman, and alluding to
tbe deieofe of Palmer, teas put into tbe bands of
Mr. Robert Palmer to he recited. But this gen
tleman was overcome by Lis feelings,for after
uttering a few lines, be was obliged to retire :
Forgive this falling tear,
“ Alas ! I fal 1 am no aftor here."
The boufe was elegantly illuminated, and lent on th,
occasion, free of expence, by Mr. Taylor. Mr.
Colman's Company volunteered their exertions with
a generally which merits high commendation.
At Liverpool, also, a free benefit was given to tbe
children of tbe late Mr, f. Palmer : tbe theatre
was crowded, and tbe following incomparable ad
dress, written by Mr. Roscoe, was delivered by
Mr. Holman to tbe audience : —
Y _o—
E airy sprites, who, oft as fancy calls,
Sport'midft the precindls of these haunted walls!
Light forms, that float in mirth's tumultuous
throng,
And frolic dance, and revelry, and song,
Fold your gay wings, repress your wonted fire,
And from your fav'rite feats awhile retire !
And thou, whose pow'rs fublimcr tho'ts impart,
Queen of the fpriogs that move the human heart
With change alternate ; at whofc magic call
The swelling tides of passion rife or fall ;
Thou,too, withdraw ; for'midfl thy lov'd abode,
With step more stern a mightier pow'r has trod ;
Here, on this spot, to ev'ry eye corfeft,
Enrob'd with terrors flood the kingly guest ;
Here on this [pat,Death wav'd th' unnerifig dart,
And ftruek —his noblest prize—an monfst
heart !

[The DEATH OF PALMER.
'And tells, in charafttrs of truth unfurl'd,
" There is another end a BETTER world !
Yet, whilst we farrowing tread this earthly
ball,
For human woes a human tear will fall.
Bleft be that tear-; who gives it doubly blelty
That heals with balm the orphan's wounded
breast !
Net all that breathes in morning's genial dew
Revives the parent plant where once it grew ;
Yet may those dews with timely nurture aid
The infant flowerets drooping in the shade;
While long experienced worth and manners
mild,
A father's met its....ft ill protests his child.
