POETRY.

ON SEEING A TOMB ADORNED WITH ANGELS
WEEPING.
Though sculptors, with mistaken art,
Place weeping angels round the tomb ;
Yet when the good and great depart,
These shout to bear their conquerors home.

Glad they survey their labours o'er,
And hail them to their native skies ;
Attend their passage to the shore,
And with their mounting spirits rise.

Britain may mourn her Patriot dead,
And pour her sorrows o'er his dust ;
But streaming eyes and drooping head,
11l suit those guardians of the just.

Parents may shed a tender tear,
And friends indulge a parting groan ;
If these in mimic form appear,
Such pious grief becomes the stone.

But if the wounded marble bear
Celestial forms to grace the urn,
Let triumph in their eyes appear—
Nor dare to make an angel mourn.

SPORTING MATCH.
The great sweepstakes trotting match of twenty miles be-
tween Captain Forrester's brown mare, Mr. Farquhar-
son's gelding Glory, and Mr. llunter's Grey Gelding, took
place on Saturday, over a four mile piece of ground, in Lut-
terel Park, Oxon, for fifty sovereigns a-side. Glory was
matched to do fifteen miles in one hour in November, and win-
ning it easy, he was backed at nearly even upon this occasion
against the other two. The horses went off at not more than at
the rate of twelve miles an hour, the mare leading. The first
four miles were done in nineteen minutes, fourteen seconds.
The second in twenty-two minutes, two seconds. Third in
23 minutes, 18 seconds. In the seventeenth the grey gelding
was too far behind to have a chance of winning, and the rider
pulled him up. The race became a neck-and-neck one be-
tween the mare and Mr. Farquharson) gelding, and the last
four miles were done by the mare in twenty-four minutes and
forty seconds, beating the gelding by about a hundred yards,
she having done the ground in one hour, twenty-eight minutes,
and four seconds. The mare was fretful and broke into a can-
ter thrice during the race,
