EROS AND ANTEROS,
A PLATONISTIC ROMANCE.

" He who from out their fountain dwellings raised
Eros and Anteros at liadara."—Loan Ihriox's Masji.egt.
Eumolpus and Eucharis were a youth and virgin of
Grecian des:ent, whose Farents dwelt in Palestine, an the
city of Tiberias. Eucharis was the fairest of the maidens,
and Eumolpus the most beautiful of the youths. They
were born in contiguous houses, and in infancy had
played together on the terraced roofs. Together they had
amused themselves with the mimicry of labour amidst the
festivities of the vintage; or, while Eucharis sat nestling
in the bowers foamed by the low and spreading vines, Eu-
molpou wandered among the rows, to cull the richest
clusters for her little basket. He wove garlands of vine-
leaves for her hair, and twined for her a little thyrsus ;
and then, with shouts and laughter, they sported like the
Bacchanals, whom Eucharia had seen embossed upon her
father's wine-cups. Hand-in-hand the children wandered
along the shore of the smooth and limpid lake ; and
Eumolpus picked up the little twisted shells, and strung
tlum into necklaces and bracelets for his beautiful coin-
pinion. Their parents delighted to see them dance toge-
thee in the evening; and when Eucharis had braided her
long raven hair, and stained with crimson dye the nails of
her hands and naked snow-white feet, she twined round
her ancles the chains of shells which Eumolpus had given
her, and listened with childish pleasure as their ringing
kept time to her light and graceful motions. Eueharis was
still a child, when Eumolpus had almost passed the age of
boyhood. He was distinguished by his grace and agility
in the exercises of the Grecian Pallestra ; but he had ac-
quired also the accomplishments of Eastern countries.
With a slight bridle he could manage the most fiery horse,
and suddenly stop or turn him in the midst of his impe-
tnotra career. At full speed he could hurl the javelin with
unerring certainty; and his delight was to astonish Eu-
cheris by the strength with which he drew the bow, and
the ease with which his arrows overtopped the highest
palms. His thirst of knowledge was insatiable : be mu-
tered with facility all that could be taught him by the
sagest instructors of Tiberias; and he came home in the
evening to amuse his little wondering play-fellow with
Plato's golden dreams of the Elysian Fields, the Atlantic
I Island, or the Music of the Spheres. His tutors pre-
dicted that he would be a great philosopher; and that so
promising a genius might not want cultivation, his parents
resolved that he sh:uld receive the instructions of wisdom
im the schools of Antioch.

Eight years had passed since Eneharis wept at his depar-
ture; and they had changed the little playful girl into a
woman of majestic beauty. Her forehead was high and
thoughtful ; her laughing eyes were saddened into a look of
sweet austerity ; the habitual expression of her delicately-
formed mouth seemed calm and pensive silence; her figure
was tall and stately • and every step and action was full of
graceful dignity. Upon him also eight years had worked
their changes. lie was no longer the beautiful youth, who,
in the wantonness of boyish frolic, had assumed a female
garb, and mingled undiscovered in the choral dances of the
11 grove of Daphne. His cheek was pale, his brow bronzed ;
and his vigils and his wanderings had left on it the traces of
thought and suffering. His figure was moulded with all
the firmness and precision of manly strength. His short
black beard curled strongly round his haughty lips; and
there was a restless flashing in his dark and overshadowed
eyes,betokening thoughts which beheld not in common with
other men. Eucharis had dwelt in his memory only as the
play-thing of his boyish fondness ; from her mind, amidst
the habitual intercourse of domestic affection, the remem-
brance of the beautiful youth had been almost obliterated.
They met with even mete than the strangeness of strangers ;
and parted with a coldness that formed a painful contrast
to their last farewell. But Euinolputs was determined to
love; and soon began to trace in the beautiful woman a
resemblance to the girl whose image had remained im-
prssaesl upon his mind. All the lineaments of that image,
to which there was no longer an answering reality, became
fainter and fainter in his fancy; and he thought of
Eucharis only as he now saw her, in all the loveliness of
womanly beauty and reserve. He (lid not indeed forget
their childish fondues,; but he loved her with all the
passionate ardour of his enthusiastic temper. Ludwig

Remo!pus prostrated himself on the turf; then took
born each of the fountains a little water in the hollow of
his hand ; and, muttering an incantation, flung it in the air.
Presently from each fountain a mist seemed to rise, and
the vapour gradually shaped itself into a dim and shadowy
resemblance of two beautiful children. Eucharis shrieked
with terror ; and clinging almost convulsively to Eumolpus,
yet turned to gaze upon the vision. The phantoms slowly
approached each other ; and when they embraced, sud-
denly their lineaments became more distinct, and their
hues more vivid • awl they stood before them two beau-
tiful boys, their Cheeks glowing, their eyes sparkling, and
their hair waving, with all the reality of life. They
stood entwined in a close embrace, the arms of each locked
round the other. They were naked, and their tender
limbs shone with all the radiance of youthful health.
They were crowned with jasmine, but their auburn
ringlets flowed over their shoulders in intermingled curls.
One setmed a little younger than the other, and clung
half fearfully so the caress of his companion ; sad they
gazed upon each other as if they lived only in one anthers
eyes. They spoke not, they moved nott---and Eucharis
half recovered from her terror, as the looked upon so
lovely a sight. Eumolpus beckoned them to approach ;
and Eucharis pressed his arm more strongly, but did not
tremble, although they stood close before her. Eumolpus
bent and kissed the forehead of the elder boy, and smiled,
and bade Eucharis do the same. Ilalf afraid, yet en-
couraged by his example, she stooped, and drew back,'

It was for a purse of 510 sovereigns, and a trial worth 100.
Coopr led at going off, in fine gay fighting, for six rounds,.
he red Reid in the first round, but in the latter part of
the battle be was pinked in every round by his adversary's
right hand; and at the expiration of 28 minutes be west
obliged to yield the palm of victory to a better man.
Cooper has a fault is not looking after the doling of
blows.

The proposal of Mr. Iluskisson to permit the foreigtt
wheat now under bond to be converted tutu flour, upon t►r
placing 1961b5. of flour for every sin bushels of wheat op
removed, cannot fail to have a material influence upon do
price of British wheat ; for, as the flour produced from
the foreign wheat is only allowed to be exported, it nut s%
satilv follows that an equal quantity of British limn wilt
be hinised ; and thus an increased value given to MB&
wheat by the increased demand for it, which will be eete•
aioned by the exchange. The quantity of wheat 14 the

TH a Lonor To or.—The discovery of the longitude
remains a desideratum, although science has
made near approaches to it. In 1593, InlroefiNgst
offered • hundred thousand crowns ; and the States er
Holland, at the beginning of the 17th century, proposed a
reward of thirty thousand florins to the person who should
be fortunate enough to solve this difficult and importnnj
problem. In 1675, Charles 11. erected the ObservatorT at
Woolwich, and appointed Mr. Flainstead his astrononuesd
observer, with the express command that he should
himself with the utmost care and diligence to the
ing the table of the motions of the heavens, and the Omen
of the fixed stars, in order to find out the so-much-4440
longitude at sea, for perfecting the art of navigation. le
was in the year lilt that the Parliament of Great Bassin
first began to consider this question as an object of national
concern, their attention having been more particuielly
drawn to the subject by the loss of Sir ('loudesley Sheverja
fleet. An Act was accordingly passed in that year, ofterhig
rewards to the person who should discover the longitodp
at sea, proportioned to the degree of accuracy that might
be attained by such method, viz.: a reward of 10,0001. if
it determines the same longitude to one degree of a great
circle, or sixty geographical miles; 13,0001. if it determines
the same to two-thirds of that distance; and Sio,oool. if
determines it to half that distance. Commissioners were
appointed to examine the denim of persons, sod formed
the object of the Act. In 1774, all the Acts concerning dta
longitude at sea were re;realed, except what relates to
Commissioners, and it was enacted, that any person who
should discover any method for finding the loanknele
means of a time-keeper, should be entitled to Legged. it
3,0u01. for d-rennining the longitude to, or within, one de-
gree ; 7,50 0 for determining the same to forty
cal miles; and 10,0001. for a determination of ri711117111
a degree. Mr. Harrison had previously received the law
est reward offered by the tint Act, 00,0001. far his nsia-
brated time-keeper ; in addition to which, the gcatuitiosof

of others, contributed to augment the whole sum to *bout
