The Canadian now begins 10 play bis flate |;
the serpsnt starts with surpsize and draws
back his bead. In proportion as he is struck
with the magic effect, his eyes lose their
ferccness, the oscillations of his tail become
slower, and the sound which II emits grows
weaker, and gradually dos away. Less Der.
psndicular upon their spiral line, the rings Of
tho charmed serpent are by degrees expand
ed, and sink, one after another, upon the
ground in concentric circles. The shades
of azure, green, white, and gold, recover
their brilliancy on his quiverins skin, and

AT this moment, the Canadian advanced a
few steps, producing, with his Cute sweet
and simple notes. The reptile inciing his
varicgatcd neck, opens passage with his
head through the high grass, and begins to
creep after the musician, stopping when he
stops, and beginning to follow him again as

Happy the mortal who has trac'd effects

Thankless for favors from on high,
Man thinks he fades too soon;
Though tits his privilege to die.
Would he improve the boon
But he, not wise enough to scan
His BEST concerns Alright,
Would gladly stretch iife's little span
To ages, if he might
To ages, in world of pain,
To ages, where he goes.
Csii'd BY afiiction's heavy chain
And hopeless of rcpose.
Strange fondness of the human heart,
Enamour'd Of its harml
Strange world, that costs il so much smart,
And still has power to charm
Whence has the world her magic powerl
Why deem we death fbe Il!
RccoiI from weary iife's best hour,
And covet longer wo
The cause is CO NscI ENC E--C0nsciencc OFT
Her tale Of guilt renews;
Her voice is terrible, though soft,
And dread Of death cnsues
Then. anxious to be longer spar'd
Man mourns his heeting breath;
All evils then seem tight, compar'd
With the approach Of DEATH.
'Tis Judgment shakes him; there's the fear
That prompts his wish to stay:
He has incurr'd long arrear,
And must despair TO pay.
Pay !--FoIlow CHRisr, and all Is paid
Ills death your peace ensures:
Think on the grave, where he was laid,
And calm descend to yours.
