POETRY.

SONNET.

GIVE TO THE POOR! WARM CLOTHING—FIRING—FOOD
At once, unsparingly, and l.umbly give !
PREVENT the winter cough, the frame chill'd brood
Of throes which make it weariness to iive;
For, 10 I November, drenched in fogs and rains,
Glooms in the air, and incubates the earth ;
Days, short and fickle, nip the labourers' gains.
And bring increase—of suff'ring and of dearth.
Lucky the woodmen wh.) shall find employ ;
The hinds who stall the kine; or pen the sheep; •
Plant the young tree; or, lest the floods destroy,
Extend the drainage, and the courses keep.
The busy, and the bounteous, at this time,
Are mind and body warm, alone, throughout our c hue.

OPENING OF THE ROYAL EXCHANGE.

(From F, azer's Map,

In the heart of the city, 1,
When Mammon lay still
In the Sleep of Night's silence,
(Hush'd Word and hush'd Willy
When the garner' d gold rested
Untouch'd and unturn'd,
And in hard chests of iron
Man'S wealth lay inurn'd!

When London had pass'd all.
His crowds to the West,
And the spirit of Commerce
Grew dull in its rest;
When the haunts of the merchant
No sharp echoes woke;
From the heart of the City
The flame-tempest broke.

It rose on its grand wings
In strength and in Sire,
Up, up to the red sky,
The beautiful fire !
It screamed and it crackled
In column and flake,
Till up-leaped the great city
Alive and awake !

In the temple of Dives

The flame-monarch stood
With bright eyes of saffron
And red limbs of blood ;
And as the walls crumbled

Beneath his great tread,
The millions came round him

razine for November.)

Thy tryst place of lucre
Hath shrunk from the eye,
And blacken'd or bleaching
Its dead embers lie !

And shriek'd as he spread !

What, ho ! for a Phcenix
To ccme with new flame,
Up, up, from those ashes
To beauty and fame !
To stand on that dark spot
In glory and pride,
And call back the City
Again to its Bride!

ToO grand and too awful,
Too vast in dismay,
In the arms of the flame-king
The gold temple lay;
As swift and as sure

They bring the sharp chisel,
They hue the white stone,
They make the crane rattle,
They oil the black hone;
They rear the high scaffold,
They climb, and they run :
Lo ! again a grand temple
Mounts up to the sun !

The Temple of hives
once more hath its priests;
They will deck it with trophies.
And crown it with feasts!
To-day a grand pageant
Will honour their band
When the king-merchants crowd
round
The Queen of the Land !

Was his wreck, as the wave
Till the reeking red Mammon
Lay hot in his grave!

Come Queen and come consort
In pomp and in pride.—
Come nobles ! Old London
Now weds his new Bride
Fair plentiful Commerce
(Gold strewed in her way,)
In hig grand palace-temple
Of riches to-day!

In wealth and in honour,
In pride and in state,
In envy and wonder,
They watch and they wait
Now the pageant is ended
The million may roam,
And royal Old Mammon
Again has a Home

Old London! grand London !
Low, low in the dust
Thy proud commerce watcheth
Her pride and her lust !

NOTICE'S.

M'Phun's Catechism of Phrenology. 32nd Thousand

Glasgow. 1845.
This useful little work, on the subject it discusses, is
capitally adapted to convey the elementary knowledge of
phrenological science to beginners. It does not require
many minutes' perusal, which, with a glance or two at
the outline illustrations, will set the inquirer on the right
path of phrenological investigation.
The Philosophy of Phrenology. 4th Thousand. Same

publisher. 1845.
These students of this new science of mind, as derived
from the s•ructure and manifestations of the admitted
organ of the mind—the brain, will here find the ground-
work of the data well developed—the logic of the reason-
ing carefully conducted—the objections,. whether arising
from ignorance or the prejudices of the old school of
mental philosophy, fairly stated and calmly refuted—Vse
truth of the observations on cerebral developement as the
corresponding medium of connexion between mind and
the external world, shown and justified from the facts of
healthy and
.diseased cerebral organization, and finally
the benefits to be derived from taking it as a guide in an
educational course, because it assumes Nature's scaffold-
ing as an index of the strength and particular characters
of thefuturebuilding to be elevated by her pupil Art, proved
to be the sound study of man; whilst a review of the present
position of the " schoolmaster abroad" is entered into, and
the capacity of the pupil judged of according to the stan-
dard on which the God of Neture has created him in
omniscient wisdom, in order that the proper bent may be
given to the twig according to its flexibility or sturdiness
of growth ; the old motto being verified, " Non amnia
omnes possumus." The subject of disease of the brain,
as connected with disturbed manifestation of mind, is
suitably descanted upon. Lastly, it exculpates phreno-
logical study from the idle charges of tendency to mate-
riallsin and infidelity, which, in strict logic, are not com-
prehended in the scope of its propositions, and therefore
it is only responsible for its own proper inductions from
facts of nature and manifestations of mind, and not for
any:further and gratuitous hypotheses which some of its
followers may speculatively and irreligiously append to
these,—any more than the ridicule thrown upon the cari-
cature of anything is ridicule proper of the original so
dis orted. The position of the author, as a teacher of
anatomy, will aeeure a calm pern,al at the hands of all,
and none need fear the result who follow narrowly and
closely on Nature's track, seeing she is at all times true
to lferself, whether in the natural or spiritual world, be-
cause her source and return is from and into the Divine
Essence of Unity.
