Mon'hy's Rational lntelligencer con
sisisis a poem called " Midnight," evidently
written withﬂdt the light of Apollo. The
asidmizsion of it gives us no proof of the li
terary tasxe of th: editor of that paper.
" And sctnsy's empire reigns in dreams."
ss 'How cmpz're can feign We confess we do
" Such is the award of heaven,
Modest merit bllﬀCl'd here ;
Whilst remctrd to vice is given,

That this earth is earthly is & matter of
fact: and, as a master o_/'sact part, our
rhymemakrr has much merit That it is
law admits of some doubtsi it being, hid!
thexime a; least, what our bard would call P
athis midnight, dbove the sun. RCWiU'dSss

These are the best lines in the poem, and
thxsc are not worth reading. A trackless
wave means something which the author
mighzhave understood, buc—which cludes
m; invcszigation of common sense.

Formcrly i; was csisiustomary to say here
