POETRY.

THE TIDE OF TIME.
Through sunny plains and vallics green
Yon silvery streamlet winds its way ;
While on its banks fresh flow'rs are seen,
That, smiling, seem to woo its stay.
It must not stay—the current's force
Forbids it here to find repose ;
But onward still it takes its course,
And sadly murmurs as it goes.
Upon its polish'd breast no more
Sweet flow'rs their breathing perfume shed,
Its path is now the rocky shore,
Its final rest the Ocean's bed.
Thus down the stream of Time we glide,
From youth and joy to age and pain ;
We cannot check the ceaseless tide,

Or bid Hope's blossoms bud again.
Yet, let us calmly meet our doom :
'Twere better far that hearts should sever,
When !Jove and Truth together bloom,
Than linger till they fade for ever

Sir Alex. Don's Zerbina • 2 1 1
Sir Wm. Maxwell's Ben Ledi - 1 2 2
A most excellent race. The dead heat betwixt tkese two
horses on Wednesday excited the most intense interest, and
much betting took place to-day on even terms. In the first heat
Ben Ledi took the lead, and Zerbino did not make play till the
distance ; for a space the horses ran so close that it was
scarcely possible to determine which was first; and Ben
Ledi won only by half a head. The result of this heat
did not affect bets in any considerable degree, Zerbino being
still backed on nearly equal terms. In the second and third
heats, Zerbino made play at starting, and was run very bard
by Ben Leib, who lost by a length. The weather was remark-
ably fine, and there was much company on the ground, who
seemed exceedingly gratifies by the day's sport.
Kelso, Saturday Night.—A meeting of the Hunt was held
this afternoon in the Cross Keys, for the purpose of electing a

Marquis of Lothian, when James Murray, Esq., of Abercair-
ney, was unanimously chosen.—The following Nobleman and
Gentlemen have been appointed Stewards of Kelso Races for
next year :—Lord Dunglass, Hon. .1. Elliot, Sir George War-
render, Ban., F. Sitwell, Esq., of Bannoor.
