tender Sensibility ? 'What mind dues'tiot• at times dwell as
in a dream on the sports and companions of jnfattcyl. Who
does not love to let his fancy withdraw the -curtain which
shadows the past,.and bidding time linger on his round,
live over again departed years? Indeed, 1 hope there are
few who have not felt pleasing sensations - arising front:- a
retrospective view of the first period of their lives ; when,
free as the mountain breeze that bleW arOund, they gave

," Writing from the immediate impulse of feeling, there is
a verity and faithfulness in the variegated descriptive pietist.-
MO Of Isis own mind, winch in some degree must find a re-
sponse in every human breast. For trtitteand nature arc ever
new and delightful—they speak but one language, and are
alikeintelligible to tli peaaant
_Anti the man of lertems—the
tradesman ahll thie'inbts of fastsion ; hence his Strains have
imparted, equally in the lofty castle stud in the hnwhie cot-
tage, the must-glowing and varied delight. Men of the luf-
aiest talents and of taste the most refined have 'praised them ;
men of strong and sterling but untutored. intellect, have ad-
mired thenii—the Poet of the heart is the I'oet of mankind—.
for man in every rank and in sorry -statiols still evinces the
passions and emotions of his common nature. Our Poet has
depicted in artless simplicity (perhaps the trneSt character-
istic of the mess divinior) the manners, the customs, and the
amusements of our forefathers, and, by a masterly grasp of
intuitive comprehension, always selected language for his
epithets most singularly appropriate, and bus'giveu to the
Scotch tongue an energy aild atone unknown and unfelt be-
fore—whether he leads us into the bosons of domestic life,
and pourtrays its tranquil bliss, shedding around the hum-
blest fireside an atmosphere of piety—rich, lovely, and inspir-
ing, as the heama of the sunnier sun when he sinks in the
waves of the west—whether he pours the song of battle on
our ears like the note of the trumpet, coiling up the courage
and fury of the soul—whether in a softer lay he steals round
the silent board, drawing hearts to hearts, and bleeding them
under the sway of its controlling unison—whether his strains
are moral or satirical,
,pathetic dr ludicrous—whether with
Thomson he reflects the face of nature—or with Pope catches
the varying manners as they rise—or with Collins calls up the
'' shadowy tribes of mind," lulling us into confiding visions
of love and friendship, of tenderness and sympathy—he is
alike irresistible--he wins the undertlanding, and fiuds his
way to the breast of the most frigid reader, who is forced to
confess that Isis sketches are indeed drawn front the living
face of nature; thathis colour; glow with the rich tints of
animation, and make the bosom thrill with the intensest
feeling.
" But wills all his boasted talents and splendid acquire-
menti, be, like every mortal, had a mixture of good and evil
in his character ; hire errors, however,. were, perhaps, more
the result of eircumitances than of depravity. From the first
to the last of his brief careerhe struggled hard with " poor.'
tlth mild," and many of his misfortunes might be traced 'to
this source. his passions were likewise strong ; he felt with
the utmost keenness on every snbject which interested him ;
and as he felt he expressed himself, without disguise and
without affectation ; and this warmth of Isis zeal occasionally
betrayed him into fattits which every good Man trust sincerely
lament—hut on thee only she malignant delight to dwell. -
I wish not to turn to the reverse of a medal whirls exhibits in
such bold relief so many claims upon our gratitude. And, as
have said on a former occasion, we are not met its admira-
tion of his personal character, but to cherish his literary
fame—to pay our tribute to the trite nobility of nature, to the
born utniesty of genius—to honbur the memory of a plough-
man, who has and endeared the tiestbitt bind tie
to our comintry. The attachment which the Scutel ever re-
tain for the place of their birth, and the tenacity' with wbi.ch
they cling to every memorial of their natal soii, have long
been proverbial—pass where they may, or happen to them
what will=--though half the circumference of the globe should
stretch its vast curve bet Ween, and though misfottune should
roll over them its deepest and most turbid wave, still the
calm and clear light of morning plays on 'the land of their
forefathers—where " the tide of invasion was rolled back,
and where rest the mites of those Whis have died its defence of-
their oanon." Still they think with delight uu the sealirt
Isle, NO.
True as the needle, homeward points the heart,
Timm' all the horrors of the stormy tnain:
Still they long to return to the rocks and deserts which spoke
to their infant heart, and where only they recogniie their first
affections and their genuine. home. Is it matter of surprise
then that they are fond of the Ayrshire Bard, whimse poetry
is most
.emphatically national ? Scotland is the 'object of his
idolatry. Unlike many ingrates, who leave no traces by
which their country can be ascertained, he has idcatifiea aim-
sell and his poetry with the localities of his natal spot. 1-14

Those balmy spoils.
Almost the last effusion of his genini (" Their groVes 0' sweet
rryrtle," &c.) was in psaise of Isis country;
.tor which, with
all its faults and deficiencies, and uotwithstanding the buffet-
ings of fortune (which most Men attribute to any thing
hot their own faulis,) he bad experienced in it, he still res
twined the usual partiality of its !sutlers, heightemsed I,y the
iardour of a poetical mind. The admirers:of genius front that
productron_ may see that the oppression of poverty and the
lam4twor of disease could not abate the fire of this gentiine
poet, whoie muse on the contrary seems to have acquired adS-
ditional sweetness as his lifts' drew toward! its 'close. Ilis

spun time breezes. -
• Mit of all his poems, the " COltar's Saturday Night" is
perhaps the happiest emanation of his genius. -It barns
with a pure
and holy flange. It pours a rich Stream of mellow
light upon objects of the honthiest and most unpretending,
