HERE came to the beach a poor Exile of Erin;
The dew on his thia robe was heavy and chill,
For his country heSgh'd, when at twilight repair
ing,
To wander alone by the wind fa'en hill.
But the day ft?r attracted his eye's fad devotion.
Por it role on bis own native ide of the ocean ;
Where once in the glow of his youthful emotion,
He faug the bold anthem of " Erin go Brah."*
Ob ! fad is my fete,ftid rhe heart broken Granger,
The wild-deer and wolf to 2 covert can £y ;
But I, have no refuge from famine and danger
A home and , coumiy remain not for me /
Ah never again in the green funny bowers,
Where my forefathers liv'd fall I spend the sweet
hours; 1
Or cover my harp with the wild-woven flowers,
And Rrike to the numbers of " Erin go BrabP
Erie, my country ? tho' fad and forfalien,
In dreams I revisit thy fa-beaten Ihorc ;
But alas !in a far foreign land I awaken, ,
And sigh for the friends who tin meet me ho
more ;
Oh cruel face, wilt thott never replace me.
hi a mention of „i<s, where no peril can chafe me ?
flh never again fiali my brothers embrace me 1
they died to defend, nr live to deplore /
TAREa tiew of the ruins es Antiquity, and
remember, 6 man, the frail slate of thy
mortality ! —Art thou rich and great ;is thy napth
known throughout the world ; and do they lofty
'buildings aspire to the clouds ? yet a little while,
and thou (halt fink in dust / Thy edifices and thy
monuments too, must at length decay and leave
no traces behind them /
Where now is Babylon ? Where is the feat of
Solomon 1 Where is wife Athens ? and where
ancient Rome, the mistress cf the world ? Where
are those mighty cities,or.ee so famous upon earth 1
Os some there is not left even a done upon a Rune,
and others are remembered only iu their ruins.
E'en as an unfubfiantial pageant faded
The cloud-cap tcw'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itfeif !
Yea, all which itinherit, (hall dissolve
And, like the baseless fabric of a viflon,
Leave not a wreck behind.
Be assured then, 6 man, who glorleft in th,
hrength and might, that there is nothing solid but
peace of mind, nothing permanent but Virtue; the
alone (hall last through the ages,and grow brigh
ter through the cndlefs succession of Eternity.

Infance of Sagacity in a Do,.
In creffing the mountain St. Gothard, near
Aircla, the chevalier Gaspard de Brandenberg
and his servant were buried by an avalanche; his
dog, who escaped the heap oftnow, did rot quit
the piece where be had loft his mailer; this was
fortunately not far from the convent; the. anuria!
howled, ran to the convent frequently, and then
returned ; struck by his perseverance, the next
morning the people from the house followed him;
he lea them dirc&ly to the fpsr.fcratched the (now,
and after thirty-fix hours puffed beneath it, the
chevalier and his own domeflic were taken out

foe howling of the dog a#, 1 riiftowfe of theft de

Sefs of this creature he owed his life, the gcutle

COOK, the celebrated Circumnavigator, when
a boy, wjs apprenticed in the ball town of
Steers, in Yprkiboe, to what is term da general
(hop-keeper.— It happened one day, th^t a young
woman purchased an article at this (hop, and in
payment offered a new (billing. The matter of
the fhvp, having fcen the girl pay this new Kil

accused young Cook of purloining his property,
bur young hero, indignant at this charge upon his
probity, hid it was lalfr; that the new (hilling
certainly was in his pocket, hue that he had repla
