HEART.
BY THOMAS CAMPBELL.
,__ll hold it a religious duty,
, 'TO love and worship children's beauty ;
They've least the taint of earthly clod—
They're freshest from the hand o t God.
With heavenly looks they make us sure
The heaven that made them must be pure.
NW love them not in earthly fashion,
I3et with a beatific passion.
„ I chane'd to, yesterday, behold
maiden child of beauty's mould ;
'Twas near (more sacred was the scene)
'Re palace of our patriot Queen.
The little charmer, .to my v:ew,
Was sculpture brought to life anew :
tier ey had a poetic glow—
klet nuting mouth was Cupid's bow,
And through her frock I could descry,
tier peek and shoulders' symmetry.
'Twas obvious, from her walk and gait,
Her limbs were beautifully straight.
stept tit' enchantress, and was told,
'though tall, she was but four years old-
-11%. guide so grave an aspect wore
I Could not ask a question more—
nut followed her. The little one
Threw backward ever and anon
Her lovely neck, as if to say,
I know you love me, Mister Grey.
Por by its instinct childhood's eye
Is shrewd in physiognomy ;
,*ey well distinguish fawning art.
From sterling fondness of the heart
And so she flirted, like a true
Good woman, till we bade adieu!
'Twas then I with regret grew wild—
Oh ! beauteous, interesting child—
Why ask'd I not thy home and name ?
zqy courage fail'd me—more's the shame.
But where abides this jewel rare,
ye that own her tell me where !
For sad it makes my heart and sore
To think I ne'er may meet her more.

el', shortly after the re-assembling of Par-
titThent Lord Lyndhurst is to present in the Peers a peti-
is42rom dramatic authors and others, who are interested
`'bat is called „free trade," in theatricals. It is stated,
tit,(i 'u"
believe the statement, that his Lordship has a
tI feeling upon the question, and is disposed to give
st,4°lt,set of toe petitioners all the support in his power. Of
it se it is no party question, but one of great general
sittqlariee, and while there was no prospect that a second
likvit't theatre would be opened, the petitioners would
11: 4 firmer ground of claim than they will possess
64 these are two houses to which dramatic authors
11, Yt resort. The whole point at issue is, which
11111 gives most encouragement to the drama,
tr, those dependent upon it ? We know that in
h. other professions, traces, and callings, prosperity
NPrornoted by competition, and there can be no good
ti;, 41 for thinking that the case would be different as re-
dramatic authors and actors. Those who say that
Vlstion is beneficial, and therefore argue for two large
4klttrea only, are bound to show that limitationin the
TOet is good ; and if so, why are we to have two
,tires ? If the argument be of any value, those who use
bound to show that one patent theatre would be
4,2 , than two, if two be better than three, and
1/4'2' better than four. But the truth is, that we
outlived the age of patents, and the best
4\r: to those who require free trade under a
tiiil;„ '.;it've enactment is to tell them that practically
k t have free trade already, and that any body who opens
ti -atre may keep it open, if he thinks tit, almost in de-
ILnee of the public authorities. We own we ace little
that is to be trained by any Act of Parliament; but at the
:!tne time we are anxious to see all restraint and limits-
IN removed so that nobody shall have an opportunity of
114t,/i'g, tithe; as author or actor, that he has not had a
pt. thence in consequence of tire continuance of the pa-
-BYsts m, which, from the first, was as great a mistake
kiitit: Charles IL had said there shall only be two hat-
4`ers, two tailors, or two bakers and butchers in the
etropelis.
