POETRY
SONG—74e D^ Hill of Life.
IN the down-hill of life, when I find I'm de
coining,
May my fate rt less fortunate be,
Thana snug elbow chair can afford for reclining,
And a cot that o'erl,y±s the wide sea;
With an ambling pad poncy to pace o'er the
lawn,
While I carole away idle sorrow,
And blithe as the lark that each day hails the
dawn,
Look forward with hspe for to-morrow.
With a porch at my door, both for (belter and
{hade too,
As the sunshine or rain may prevail ;
And a final! spot of ground for the life of the
spade too,
And a barn for the use of the flail :
A row for my dairy, a dog for my game;
Anda putfe when myfriend wants to borrow :
I'll envy no nabob his riches or fame,
Nor the honours that wait him to-morrow.
From the bleak northern blast may my cot be
completely
Secur'd by a neighboring hill;
And at night may repofc steal on me more
fwectly
By the found of a murmuring rill;
And while peace and plenty I find at my board,
With a heart free from sickness or sorrow;
With my friends will I share what to-day may
afford,
And let them spread the table to-morrow.
And when I at last must throw off this frail
cov ring
Which I've worn for three score years & ten,
On the verge of tte grave I'd not feck to keep
hov'ring,
Nor my thread with to spin o'er again ;
But my face in the glass I'll serenely survey,
Nor repine at each wrinkle and furrow,
As this old worn-out fluff, which is thread-bare
to-day.
May become etcrlafting to-morrow.
A BEAU or THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY
Conceive to yonrfelves a Quixotic figure of a
man with long-pointed Ihoes fattened to his
knees with gold chains : those of one colour on
one leg, and of another colour on the other ;
short breeches of a remarkably thin texture,
which hardly reached the middle of his thighs;
a long beard, of which, it seems, they were par
ticularly careful, having, at a much later pe
riod, buckram cases to preserve them from be
ing tumbled in their sleeps ; a silk hood button
ed under his chin, embroidered with grotesque
figures of animals dancing dogs, &c and some
times ornamented with goldand precious ftoncs:
this dress was the top of the mode, in the reign
of Edward lll.—What a contrast to the bucks
of the present day !

took down an old French gun, levelled it at
