ODE TO THE SWEET SCENTED VINES
Solace of melancholy hours,
And therefore dear TO me;
leave the cultivated bow'rS,
And fiy, fwcet vine, to thee
Thou grow'ft not on the gay partctre,
With vulgar charms to vie;
The vanity which fparkles there,
Thou fcorn'ft--and 70 do I.
But clim'f around the cliff,
On talleft mountains rude
Where the Bald Eagle, ftrong and fwiff.
Suitains her annual brood.
There climbing too, thy fweets among,
tate them unalloy'd
Which but for me had meier been flung.
Had never been enjoy'd.
Sis Pine bears no fruit, bit in tbe month O,
J"'e fe''a' Jo'fb a ~lef delicious fragrance.

THEATRICAL PuENoMENox-wcs some time
since noticed the appearance at Belfast, of Young
performer only eleven years old, who personated
several arduous characters, in style cf excellence
that excited the utmost astonishment The foI.
lowing further mention of him, is from on.
donderry paper of April 10.
Last night the celebrated Young Rosc;u, made
his first appearance i'll our Theatre, in the cha
racter of 1;3ung Norvdi. From the wonderful ,c
c vereiyet Of tbiS
very brilliant audience assembled, and from the
Judgment displayed in his acting, which brouybt
forth repeated bursts of applause, we are conv;r-
ced the young hero mcrted all that had been said
of him. His modest, vet animated account of
himself, was delivered in maSterly STYLE The
lines, Z" Now, if l live,'' &c were spoken w;tb
superior excellence, and far beyond all we ever
heard.--When Lady Randolph tells him his "a
theirs name, his eager exulting manner of saving
" Lord Douglas whom to-day saw ;" was erea5
indeed. The whole of the scenes with his Mo
Their had very sensible effect on the audience
We may justly say, we never saw the character Of
Douglas better performed.
He will appear on "Wednesday next in the pI, y
OF :" Fisa'ro," in which he will personate the Pc
fuV'an hero (ibid)
The OSTRICH at present exhibiting at No %
Williams street. is object well worth the 49,.
ion ofrhe public. The majestic mein of This no.
bic animal strikes the spectator with respect. and
inspires, him with pleasure. The size ard esnec;
ally the height of The bird, the length and tbicl
ness Of his legs, and his slender, and tower;no-
neck, are all calculated to command admiration
Though rot yet arrived at maturity, the height &c
his head from the ground, in the usual standing
posture IS not less than six feet and when stretch
ed at Jul length from the rip of the beak TO the
end OF the toes, he does measure less than nine
The Ostrich is among the largest of the feathered
creation With the exception of the Condor. a
South American bird, there is no species tbar
surPasses 1t in size. Although the Ostrich can-
not boast the brilliant plumage which decora,es
some other birds, yet its feathers have ever I've IN
priced as superior all Others for el.gance "a
uAsr;anlt richness. The lovers of Natural Eistory
viii doubtless embrace me present opportunity of
gratifying their taste-he ladies will satisfy their
curiosity IN going to see the bird which f1rnisbe,
them with the gay Plumes that Ornament thei,
Persons--and the public in general will visit ,be
cabinet to obtain sight of the far-famed Dc.
