THE ASHE FAMILY.—A want of due encou-
ragement at Bath recently induced the Head of
this accomplished Family to relinquish his Con-
certs in that city ; but, in consideration of what it
would suffer by the loss of such a combination of
talents, several of the Nobility and Gentry, who
frequent that region of pleasure and repose, and of
the chief of the inhabitants, have it seems tempted
him to resume them next season,

POETRY.

On being :hewn tome beautiful SPECIMENS of ORNAMENTAL
PORCELAIN.

Since to clay we must turn, 'tis consoling to know
That to objects as lovely as these they can mould us ;
And wherever this frame may be destined to go,
In its relics our friends need not fear to behold us.

This rose we may fancy, its delicate hues
So faithful to nature, when living composed
The bosom of beauty adored by the Muse
Where tenderness sigh'd or affection reposed.
The form that so gracefully plays with the dart
Which the blind little god in his archery uses,
Was one of those nymphs who imagine the heart
May be play'd with unhurt 'till the moment she chooses.

Yon shell was a poet ; but where is his fame ?
The verses he destined to live are unknown ;
Yet he dreamt in his time he was leaving a name,
And as idly are dreaming the bards of our own.
The gardener smilingly gazing on flowers
Which seem as if breathing their odours around,
Was a lover of nature that dwelt in her bowers,
And rear'd her young sweets as they sprung from the
ground.

For me, when I've pass'd through the change that gives birth
To a substance like this, and again see the light;
May the artist thus gracefully form from my earth
The lamp that some nymph loves to read by at night :
For then I may watch the emotion that plays
In her eyes, as the lines of the minstrel they trace—
And receive, ere in slumber she closes their rays,
The last parting beams of expression and grace.
