LOVE.
Round Love's Elysian bowers
The softest prospeas rise ;
There bloom the sweetest flowers,
There shine the purest skies ;
Mid joy and rapture gild awhile
The cloudless heaven of BE A UT Y'S Smile.

Round Lov desetted bowers
' . Tremendous 'rocks arise ;
1 Cold mildews blight the flowers,
Tornadoes rend the skies;
And PLiASURZIS waning moon goes down,/
Amid the night of BtAliry's frowu. •

. .
.-, • , Then YOu tit, thou fond believer!
The wily Syren shun :
..
Who trusts the dui. Deceiver
Will surely be undone !_
' . . When Ilit A.‘ry triumphs, sh ! beware I
. ljer smile is hope I-Ther frown desipaii !

Metqueweßetrse,—Yesierday Elizabeth lilistes,
.otherwise Buxton, was brought up for examination,
charged on sespicion of felonioesly -slealtoe., last
Monday, se'nnight, a, frock, a petticoat; a pair of
half-boots, and certain other wearing apparel of a
Male child, abort fournyears old, the property of 'a
Mr, Dellow, of St. Martin's•lane, Cannon,-street.—
The little wearer of the cloat hes Woreethem- at the
time of the felony ; the stealing of the child does not
vett* Within -tln purview of the statute. It was
uueecessary to enumerate. him amongst the other
items that form the matter for indictment.
The public must,, for some days, have observed
a notice from the Lord Mayor, of the Elsa of a
child, describing' his person, and offering a reward
'for the discovery of the. little perdu, or that of the
person by whom he was stolen, who was described
to be.a lady of genteel appearance, smartly dressed„
and who had purchased tut the-little boy a hat and
feather,. at the shop,of a hatter on
,Fish-street-hill.,
A :number of witnesses were examined., for the put.-
pese of identifying the lady at the bar with the fact
in question.
An old woman,. naMed. Mary Cox, " who kee a pss
green-grocer's. and fruiterer's shop in St. Martin's
lane, Cannon-street,. deposed, that about half,past
ten on the morning of Merida), se'imight, Mrs.
Dellow, the sootier of, the lost child, came to, slier
shop, told her she was going to COnSnll a medical,
gentleman on some complaint in her eyes ; and left
the little boy, and another child, his sister; in her
care, until her return. Thewitness was sitting slimily
afterwarde with one of the,Thildren on her knee,
when a, lady answering to:the prisoners description
came in, and
,called for two-peneyworth.oi apples.
She put ,down the child and served her. Immedi-1
ately afterwards some other person came in for some
of her merchandiee, whom' she also served. She
then missing the \children from the door, called
them to come in, but neither answered. She ran
into the street, but could not find them. Alarined
at this, she went up the. street, and called frequent-
ly Itesbecca" (the little girl's name,) but received
no answer. After a 'short time, she saw the little
girl, without her brother; returning -down Fish-
'street, having an apple and a small plumb-cake in
her hand, She'asked 'her who had given' her them,
and where her brother was ? The child relied, she
hid got them from the lady who, just before, had
bote;ht the apples at her' shop, and had taken her
little brother with her to his mother. The woinan
made every inquiry about the 'neighbourhood, but
could 'find no satisfaetory traces of the hely, She
could not swear to the lady's identity, nor 'her voice,
:but merely to her-size ;• having never seen her be-
fore, and only beard her speak a few words.
Two witnesses from a pastry-cook's shop, on
Fish-street-hill, the .one a shop-woman, and the
other the daughter of the t'naster, pros'ed, tha,t on
the morning, and about the hour stated, a lady, at-
tired in 'a dark gowe, blue cloth cleak, and black
straw bonnet and feather, came into the'shop with
'two children ; one the little 'girl now produced itt
and the other a little boy about four years
Old. They had neither hats nor tippets an, and she
boy had his bair turned up. on 'one' side of
chil fore-
heed, answering to thesdescription of thelOst d.
The lady bought., some buns,'of which she-gave tea
to each of the children, and immedistelY went
at t ohe
at
with them. Both these witnesses looked
lady, and felt every reason to be convinced she was
the same person; although she was noW' dre
csseh
d
quite differently, tieing. attired. in i scarlet lot
cloak, and figured silk coiffure. -•
The uncle of the child stated, `that havig.heard
his brother's little ion, had .been stelen, he made
every inquiry into the circumstances, ;Ind rodiSeovetund the
neighbourbuter, in order, if possible,. to
some clue to the person who had taken off the child.:

same morning a het and twitter there- tor a little
boy, whose appeartiece agreed with the pereon
Dellow ; but all flirthee inquiries were in vain,
Multi some days afterWarcls, when Gentleman Of

Officer from Unitin and one of the young
