MANI RED,

a dramatic poem by Lord Byron, pub
lished upwards Of year since, has been
less noticed than bis Lordship's other pro-
ductions. Probably it was we'll, for 1t
breathes strain of misanlhropic madness,
which is almost as repusivc to moral as to
critical feeling. Yet that poem contains
some beautiful touches which emanate only
from that originality Of genius, that sp!en-
dor of Imagination, and that deep feeling
which Beattie so well describes in his Mn
strel as apperlainng to the poet of nature.
For instance, in speaking Of the natural
musicufth the mountain reed, he bursts FORTH
.b1t were
The voiceess spirit y!a lovely sound,
A living voice, breathing harmony,
A bodiless enjoyment born ard dying
With the bes, tone which made me.
The above possesses something Of the
wild spirit of Shatspeare's Tempest.
Again, in describing lefty Cataract
at is not noon-,he shadow S rays still arch
The torrent with the many hues Of heav'n,
And roll the sheeted siiver's waving column
Ger the crag's headlong perpendicular
And fling its tints of ioaming light along.
And to and fro, like the pale courser S tail,
The giant ..ecd TO be beslrode by death,
As told in the Apocalypse.
This last is certainly very bold figure,
yet there is nothing OF the false sublime.
shall conclude these quotations from
this most singular poem by the description
Of beautiful spirit" ofthe poets own
creation, which to my feeling exceeds eve
ry line he has written.
The hues of youth,
Carnation'd like sleeping infants cheek
Rock'd by the beating OF her mother heart,
Or the rose tints which summers twilight
leaves
Upon the glaciers virgin snow,

ANGER.

Of all the passions there is none so ex-
travagsnt and outrageous as that Of anger
other passions solicit and mislead US, but
this runs away with US. by force, and hurries
US as well 10 our own as another's ruin. 1t
falls many times upon the wrong person
and discharges itselfupon the innocent in
stead Of the guilty, and makes the most
trivial offences to be capital; and Furnishes
an incbnsiderate word perhaps with infamy
DC death. Iallows man neither time nor
means for defence, but judges cause with
GU; hearing it, and admits Of no mediation.

position render it an object of great curio-

PARApISE--AN EASTERN LEGEND.
. When iLExANDER had conquered The
world and penetrated into the remotest re-
gions of Iadia, he heard Of Paradise, and
determined to subdue that also. He was
told that the river Hithebel led to ii, and
immediately ordered fleet to be EQUIPPED
10 carry his troops ,hither but previously
DESPATCHED few vessels 10 carry intor-
mation.-When they had reached the gar
den of Paradise, his people found the
gates shut and before it an aged keeper OF
singular appearance, and with an exiraor-
binary beard, whom they commanded to
o-an the gates instantly for their master,
as he was not far behind them. The hoa-
~ keeper smiled and said he burst not adj
nit him unless he could find means to
weigh down a feather, which he herewith
sent, when placed in the balance. The
messenger was astonished, for he could not
conceive how a small feather--since it was
only light downy feather--could have
such weight, and concluded that the old
man was jeering him. He nevertheless
went and delivered the message. Alexan-
der directed balance to be brought, and
II soon appeared that all the wood and
s,we, and silver aud gold that could be
laid in the scale, was not sufficient TO coun-
terpoise this little feather, which made e.
very thing that was brought fly quickly up,
as though the greatest weights had been
put down. Alexander astoniShed at this
magical effect, sent once more to inquire
what was the meaning Of it.
The man graYely answered, that the
feather signiied Alexander's cupiii'y and
ambition, which were light as down, and
yet so heavy that nothing could counterba-
lance them but he would tell him how
that feather might be outweighed. " Let,
said he, !" a handful of earth be laid upon
1t, and il will at once lose its extraordinary
power" Alexander perceived The mean
ing, and was deeply detected. Soon after
wards he died a, Babylon without having
seen Paradise.

FROM ST. MARY's.

We learn by the United States brig Pro-
metheus, from St. May's River, that the
crew of the privatcer or prize schooner,
which landed upon Cumberland Island, as
mentioned in yesterdays Courier, had
been arrested, and the property in their
possession secured. The schooner had
been previously scutlled and sunk in Jekyl
sound. The various and contradictory ac-
counts given by the privateersmen, relative
TO the vessel, SC. rendered it impossible TO
get at the truth as 10 the national character
of the vessel. The other schooner men
toned as having on board cargo OF dry
goods, sc. was also sunk The general
opinion is, that one vessel was the priva-
teer, and the other her prize.
