Cooke is so well known as an actor
that my opinion can neither add to, nor
diminish his farns; were eli her in my
power, panegyric would run through a
dozen pages, add get fall snort of his me-
Ei,s. In some characters he is as much
superior 10 any aelor Of the present day,
as Gsrtic1s was to those OF his time where
these can be dispensed with, he hes no
comre'uor. As e man in private lie he
is he gentleman, the scholar, the friend,
The life e every party, al enemy to scan

such is Cooke in his sober moments !;
hut when stimns,ed by tho Juice OF The

all this. No Two men, however different
they may be can be more at variance than

the feelings o. his nearest & dearest friends
are sacrificed. Such are the unfortunate
prcpensilies OF this singular mani un.oriu

Of avoiding them. Alihough they have a
tendency to ruin his heal b, injure his

Or make more handsome apologies; and

MISCELLANY.
A SONG,
BY THOMAS MOORE, ESQ.

rFronr selection of Irish melodies
OIL! think not my spirits are always 50
And free from paug as they seem to
you now;
Nor expect that the heart-5eaming swell
OF tonight,
Will return with to-mor to brighten
my brow.
No, life is waste of wearisome hours,
Witch seldom the rose of enjoyment a..
dorns;
Aud the heart that is soonest awake to the
flowers,
Is always the first to be touch'd by the
therns
But send round the bowl and be happy a
while
May we ne'er meet worse in our pilgri.
mage here,
Than the tear th4t enjoyment can gid with
smile,
And the smile thai compassion can turn
to a tear.
The thread os our life would be dark, Hea.
ven knows,
lit were not will, friendship and love
intertwio'd;
And care nc, how soon ! may sink to re-
pose,
When these, blessings shall cease to be
dear TO my mind !
But theys who have loy'd the fondest, the
pursst,
Too often have wept DER the dream they
BELIEVED
Andthe heart that has slumbered in friend
ship securest,
Is happy indeed if twas never deceiv'd
But send round the bowl, while relic o
truth,
Is in man, or in woman. this prayer shall
be mine,
That the sunshine of life may ilIumint
our youth,
And the moonlight OF friendship consols

The most wretched state OF man.
In conference held between some
Greek and Indian philosophers, IN the
presence of Chofroes, King % Pers f.,
the following question was proposed
for solution:
"What is the most wretch-d state
in which man can find hinseE IN tais
world 20
A Greek philosopher said it was to
pass a feeble old age in the midst of.
extreme poverty. An Indian asserted
that It was 70 suffer sickness OF the
body accompanied BY pain OF the mind.
AS for me, sad the vizir Buzurgs Mrs
! think that the greatest Of miseries a
man can experience in this world, is to
see himself near the close oflife withs
out having Practised virtue.
This opinion received the general
appreciation of this assembly of sages,
and Chofroes ordered that it sh juld
be engraved on marble table, and Ak
edupin the principal square of Ispahan,
to off=r to the people = subject of me-
Citation, and to remain an eternal les-
son of wisdom.
Time, which devours all things, has
destroyed this tablet; and in Persia
as with us, is forgotten that the greats
est Of miseries in this world, is to ape
proach the close of life without havs
ing practised virtue.
