POE7RY.

A MAN OF SORROWS.
(From the Conameretal Attire?, a Nee Volk raier '

A man of sorrows and of woe—
'Twas thus, Of old, the prophet sung,
Who felt the words of Heave. flow
In inspiration from his tongue:
Well might the prophet's words be 10,th
To all beueath the golden nun,
But be it mine to paint their truth
In the dark destiny of ONE.

Ktod Nature gave him feelings stroilg,
Lofty, impetuous, and sincere,
Rut Envy, Peridy, aad Wrong,
Coaspired to lay those feelings sear—.
Deceived, deserted, and betrayed,
BAaasy a shaft of fate pursued,
The earl bias became s shade,
A oselsieboly solitude.

He knelt at many an idol's shrine,
But found eoagenial warmth is none;
Aud every wreath his bode could twine
Was smirk!, blighu,d aid undone.
And then be bowed beneath the woe
That brooded o'er life's little span :
He bent bin to Affliction's blow—
He bent—but bore it like a loan.

le proud and uncomplaining grief,
He walk'd upon his lonely way;
But have ye marked the yellow leaf,
Consuming on the broke% spray?
lie loved its dying beauty well &
To him it had a warning lose,
And, when its bloom to ruin fell,
It seemed an emblem of his own.

He loved to watch the setting sun
Go down beneath the crimson we<t ;
And wish'd his own were run,
That he might also be at rest.
Hs thought the sod would lighter press,
Thee Lire's accumulated woe;
He thought the wave of cold Distress,
Perchance could there forget to it w:

There one a lime, what boots it now
On spectres or the past to call
For will it cool his hurtling brow--
Or will it gild his spirit's pal'
Bat yet there was a joyous time,
Mee youthful Hope delighted sung,
Awl o'er his bright sad golden prime,
The sunny sky of Forums ►ung.
His heart was thus in freshest play,
,40101 In its fair unclouded swift;
AAii blithesome was his roundels),
Like that of wild birds on the win:
Oh ! for that soul-eitchauting song
Which citarm'd his boyhood's rosy heart
Wks being's current swept sloog
A shore of verdure and of dowers.

When freely How'd Life's fountain wave
la waters of the purest blur,
Red every scene existence gave
Was fresh, was beautiful, was new:
When front the holy faue of thought
His mind derived supreme delight,
A sd eery Oat that Fancy caught
Was fair, sail glorious, and bright.
' -

W all Cielition's ample space
adore him spread her bosom fair,
Arid Gratitude would fondly trace
A hitt. Creator's bounty there;
When ell his grand majestic march
The Son pistoled liar glad career,
And Heaven operated it's smiling archa
For Day's respleudent charioteer !
When Midnight spreads her milder veil
ppow the soil aid dewy sky,
And the fair Moon was seen to sail
In pensive loveliness on high;
Awls followed by the evening star,
With silver clouds &rotted 4cr rurl'J,
Danced no the mountain height afar.
A cheering beacon to the world!
When on the mighty thunder storm,
The bow of Promise bent its spas;
Like Mercy, bending o'er the form
Of erring, but repentant, man;
Aed wreathed its belt sreaud the air,
Where the black Tempest hung his shroud,
Glowing is mingled colours there,
The Almighty's banner on the cloud!

Oh! when bill heart was in its prime,
These 'tenet were revelry to him,
E're the unsparing band of Time
Around them hung infinite dim—.
F're each emotion felt the chill,
The blight, the scathe, the withering.
Thedeep and agonizing thrill
Of a cold world's empuisourd sting.
His earthly idols—where are they ?
Aye—let the voice of Memory sell?
Sprang there one blesslog on his way
There the untimely mildew fell'
Was 'brie ewe Hosier aria his pails
There the but blast of Ruin biers,

To scar and scorch its bonny hue!

pofpos'e of making an arrangement with his printer.
to kndlice hilit to give up the unsold capita of
" Queen ,Vub." The Delendant now put in an
affidavit, and produced twenty-five copies of the
work, as all which remained in the printer's bends.
Mr. GERRIT said he felt it to be his dety to

Defendant, us it appeared from his schedule, filed
in the Insolvent Debtors: Court, that at that time
there were 529 copies in the printer's hands ; either,
therefore, there had been a very extensive sale since,
Or, what was more probable, some of the copies
were kept back. The Court would Olio observe,
that by the Defendaiit's withholding the printer's
name, it airs 'impossible to have his affidavit as to
the copies unsold.
The Judges conferred together roe some time,
when
air. Justice BAYLEY proceeded to pass the son-
' fence of the Court. His Lordship observed, that
from the recommendstion of the Jury and the De-
fending's subsequent conduct, the Court had been
inclined to +hew • very eatruoniiiinry degree of
lenity towards him, but as he had chosen (from
motives which the Court had no Eight to censure)

sod accordingly he handed them over to the Aolicitor
