LE VIEUX FAUIEUIL,

Ce vieux fauteuil, je I'aime, oh I oui je l'aime
Qui pourrait me blamer d'aitner ce vieux fauteuil F
Il pose devant moi comme un divin enbleme
Embaume de soupirs, mouille de pleurs de deuil;
Mille lien, ferment la chain,
Qui le rive a mon coeur, a mon atm l'enchaine.
Ma mere, dans son temps, lui faisait bon accueil,
Voila pourquoi mon culte est a ce vieux fauteuil.

Je me renais dans lea jours de I'enfance
Pres de ce vieux fauteuil toujours I'oreille au guet,
Et cette bonne mere en sa douce eloquence
A vivre, a bien mourir m'emeignait tout d'un jet;
" Jamais to n'auras en partage
La honte," disait-elle, "avec Dieu pour otage!"
Et moi d'humilior alors mon jeune orgneil,
De prier ia, genoux pros de ce vieux fauteuil.
Combien de fois je la veillai ma mere,
Quand son coil se ternit SOUS ses beaux cheveux gris;
Oh ! que je I'adorais quand apres sa priere
Elle me beni sait moi son enfant soumis I
Le temps passe vite et bien vita
Emportant mon bonheur, et ma mere it sa suite ;
Ce tut lora que j'appris les souffrances d'un deuil
Quand jo la via mourir las I dans ce vieux fauteuil!
C 'est paste I mai. je le regarde en core

Le coour pros de ,oupi.s, et le front plein d'emoi :
Rle me soignait la, je me le ren ernore,
C'est ia rnourut, me lah•sant seule moi.
Nommcz cela de la faiblesse,
Lorsque des pleurs brMants ra'inondent de tristesse;
Mais je l'aime, je l'aime, G doux objet de deuil
Lui quo ma mere aimait. lui mon bon vieux fauteuil I

Hardly so 'elicitous in vs way, as a translation of
the music of the original, as the preceding extract is
of the Hebrew melody of Byron—the version last
given will at least be acceptable as a yet sufficiently
accurate echo in French of a Home Song of the
Affection dear to the hearts, and ever welcome to
the tearful eyes of the English People, who know
it and love it. Often as the Chevalier de Chatelain
has afforded the English and French public before
now evidence of his facile clr.city as a national
translator from English into French, he
has never before now given such un-
mistakeable proof of its scope as in this
singularly varied collection. Chaucer he has turned

nto French, Longfe]low he has done the like good
service to, Lay, he has even tried his bold but TOT'
rent hand in the same way upon one of the great
tragic masterpieces (Macbeth) of Shakspere —bat
here, in these " Beautes de la Pcsie Anglaise," be
has, so to speak, cried " Have at you all !" And
has daringly, and in many instances very success-
fully, " gone in" at the Poets of England if not from
A to Z, at any rate, as one may express it, by sa ort
of echoing parody upon a familiar line—
From Gray to Gay, from Lovelace to Shakspere
Or, putting it alphabetically, from Addison to
NVordsworth.

Sandford and Merton. By Thomas Day. Square

18mo. Pp. 203, Longman and Co.
Oh, the dear little book—Sandford and Merton I
Welcome to us always, in whatever shape it coulee
to us—it is thrice welcome in its present shaP°'
as it is just now issued from the press by the
great house of the Messrs. Longman ! A
leviathan among publishing houses, the
capacity of which is seemingly as various in its
range as that either of the elephant's trunk or of
the steam engine. As the one is capable of rentheg
an oak or picking up a pin, as the other can dace
a giant pile under the ponderous beat of the steeni
hammer, or crack a nut without disturbing the
glossy completeness of the kernel—so the Orest
House of the Row, that has in its time given to the
world (of letters) giant works, in their sever!l
ways, like Macaulay's History of England and
Rises's (nearly fifty volumed) Eneydopodia, is nely
bringing out in quarterly volumes, or rather
volumettes, a shilling edition of darling little book.,
most of which we know already by heart pretty
well ! And yet as they come forth now in this allnr.
ing guise, we read them greedily all over again as
though we were once more a schoolboy ! A serles
of darling little books, world-famous most of then:
and here called, with the strictest truth 11

their new form, " The Entertaining .
rary." Sandford and Merton is the latest
of the series yet pubiishef. It has been preceded'
just to begin with, in a lump, or all three tore'
tiler, by a choice gathering together of Cheistlna
Tales, by Gulliver's Travels (of course an elll!
gated edition of that wonderful Cynical Sat°
upon Men and Things), and by Robinson Catiol;
The mere enumeration of these titles to three of the
four volumes—. Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Tray° ;
Sandford and Merton—will explain better thaid
any words of a prospectus or of a criticism CO,a
possibly do the nature of this " Shilling Entertain'

collection. "'!'here be pippins and cbeeseto

Because the old Lud• Gate, which stood across the

the inhabitants of London, in 1760, and we are not
willing to go back in taste and public spirit more than 100
years.

- Because London is quite ugly enough already.
Because the old company, having aband ned this part of
their project to a new company, and being confessedly un-
able to carry it out without now powers from Parliament,
the whole subject is now brought again before the Legisla-
ture, as fully as if no bid had ever been passed.

From the moment of her conviction she expressed her
determination not to eat anything whilst she was pri •
son. On her arrival at headii.g Gaol she had been for
three days without food. Day after day passed, and her de-
termination continued still unchanged. The officers of the
ROI,
