LOV,, ON.
BY Eura COOK.

46 Love not, love not, ye hapless sons of earth."
MRS: NORTON.

Love on, love on, the soul must have a shrine,
The rudest breast must find some hallow'd spot ;
The God who form'd us left no spark divine,
In him who dwells on earth, yet loveth not.
Devotion's links composes sacred chain
Of holy brightness and unmeasured length ;
The world with selfish rust and reckless stain,
May mar its beauty, but not touch its strength.
Love on, love on,—aye, even though the heart
'We fondly build on' proveth like the sand,
Though one by one-Faith's corner-stones depart,
And even Hope's 'last pillar fads to stand.
Though we may dread the lips we once believed,
And know their falsehood shadows all our days,
Who would not rather trust and be deceived,
Than own the mean, cold spirit that betrays ?
Love on, love on, though we may live to see.
The dear face whiter than its circling shroud.
Though dark and dense the gloom of death may be,
Affection's glory yet shall pierce the cloud.
The truest spell that Heaten can givelo lure,
The sweetest prospect mercy can bestow,
Is the blest thought that bids the soul be sure.-
'Twill meet above the things it loved below..
Love on, love on, Creation breathes the words, •
Their mystic ' music ever dwells around •
The strain is echo'd by'unnumber'd chords,
And gentlest bosoms yield the fullest sound.
As flowers keep springing, though their dazzling bloom
Is oft put forth for worms to feed upon ;
So hearts, though wrung by traitors and the tomb,
Shall still be precious and shall still love on.
--New Monthly.

THE THAMES EMBANKMENT
On Wednesday evening was held a meeting of the
Metropolitan Improvement Society, at their rooms,
20, Bedford-street, Covent-garden, to take into con-
sideration the published plans
.of the Government
Commission for an Embankment of the Thames.
Major-General Mercer, Dr. Southwood Smith,
Messieurs Frampton, Drew, Biers, Martin, Cantwell,
W. E. Hickson, Laxton, and other gentlemen, took
part in the discussion. A general feeling of gratifica-
tion was expressed that the Commissioners had
adopted the principle of not merely embanking the
river, but of so embanking it as to form a continuous
thoroughfare between the bridges. From Whitehall-
place to Blackfriars-bridge, there would be a new
carriage-road, fifty feet in width, along the edge of
the river, including a pavement of fifteen feet
for foot passengers. Within this line of road a series
of docks would be constructed to provide the needful
accommodation for the barges of wharfingers, who
would have the same facility of access to their pre-
mises as at present, so that it would not be necessary
to interfere with private property in any case. The
defects of.the plan appeared to be—first, the imperfect
means of communication provided between the em-
bankment and the shore. These were on a very nig-
gardly scale, and, like the stations of railroads, con-
venient only to those living in their immediate neigh-
bourhood. No public communication, for example,
was contemplated between Norfolk-street in the
Strand and Blackfriars-bridge, so that a person
might actually live within three hundred yards of the
embankment, and not be able to approach it without
a weary walk of a mile. The principal termini of
the roadway were also objectionable ; it would be
entered at right angles both at Blackfriars-bridge
and Whitehall-place, and the latter opening, in-
stead of one nearer Charing-cross, would be ex-
tremely circuitous and inconvenient to the whole of
the inhabitants of the north-west of London. At the
City end, the embankment would be no relief to the
narrow and crowded thoroughfare of Ludgate-hill, as
it might have been if carried along the shore, at least
as far as Southwark-bridge ; and that part of the
plan, which provided a footpath only from Hunger-
ford-market to Westminster-bridge, and proposes to
give up the ground there gained from the river as
private gardens, was strongly condemned. These
and other defects pointed out were, however, not of
a character which could not be obviated as the work
proceeded. In the general outline of the plan there
was undoubted merit, and, as a whole, it was en-
titled to public support. The first step was the con-
struction of a new river walk, and it was the interest
of the public that this object should be effected with
as little delay Si possible. Various improvements
might afterwards be Introduced in the internal line of
the embankment.' Before the meeting broke up it
was resolved that a deputation from the Society
should unite with a deputation from the Master Car-
Eenters' Society to wait upon the Chancellor of the
xchequer, with a view to such a remission of the
window duties as would enable builders to provide for
the ventilation of ceihm, water-closets, &c., without
Win-subject ta talkfAiga. _
