Land of the mountain and the flood,
Land of my sires ! what mortal hand
Can e'er untie the filial band
That knits me to thy rugged strand !"—Wavrita Som..

" It is the chief glory of Scotsmen that, next to Goo and their
parents, they love their country and their countrymen. It is their
chief merit, that they study from their youth till their grey hairs,
all that honours their ancestry and kindred ; hence every Scots-
man is a hero for the glory of Scotland, wise for the glory of
Scotland, and virtuous for the glory of Scotland. And it: is a dis-
tinguishing endowment of Scotsmen, that as they are familiar with
their national history, so the virtues and noble deeds of past ages
are ever present to their minds, and every Scot, by the influ-
ence of example, strives to become an ornament to his race."—

THE NEGRO BOY;
OR, SUPERSTITION SUBDUED.

NEAR Portsmouth, the " &tale of Minden" the sign,
An Inn long renown'd for good cheer and old wine,
A handsome young hostess, and excellent lodging ;
An Officer lately came over from France,
No longer in idle attendance to dance,
His occupants Monsieur most gladly disgorging.
This Officer, then, ev'ry comfort ensuring,
At " Battle of Minden" a lodging procuring,
And items of Use and of Ornament lacking;
In dress predetermin'd to shine all resplendent,
Directed, o'er all, that his sable attendant

A quantum should purchase of WA aunes .12T BLACICUM
The mild youth of Afric the mandate obey'd,
When lo! in the Boots, by the luminous shade
Of the Jet, like a Mirror, his dark features glaring;
He gaz'd in amaze, long with eztacy mute,
Then laugh'd, as laugh'd with him, the Child in the Boot,
And eagerly thence to his Massa repairing;
" 0 come, Musa Captain." he said, " come and see,
Him live in de Buot—blacky cbilda as me—
Mush like as my poor leteel broder him seem
Him die—him come back—die no more," and his eyes
Were glisten'd by Joy, when aghast with surprize
Two " Childa ' he viewed in the Boot's jetty gleam.
His Musa the cause of the vision explain'd ;
And now in the youth was delusion restrain d,
His mind Superstition no longer attacking;
Rnhaned thence, in fame, is the 6ne glossy hue
That dress can improve, and dark Error subdue,
