THE RAINBOW.
The rain from heaven had ceased to tall,
Dispensing was the cloudy pail,
From DER the clear blue sky;
Bright Sol sent forth his parting glow,
As meath the west descending low,
To veil his brilliancy.
But, oh before he yielded quite
To the isst-coming shades OF night,
HIS fairest beams be tent,
TO giId on high the promised bow,
Which heaven sends forth, that man may
know
The pouring rains are spent
It's arch was tinged with many hue,
OF green. Of purple. and OF blue,
Of violet and gold,
And stretched DER earth, and sky ana sea,
And glittered gay and gorgeously,
All beauteous to behold.
But soon was gone that bow of light.
And vanished soon lis arch so bright,
So brilliant and SO fair;
Thus fade our dearest hopes away
Thus short and transient is their stay
Lent bet to guile despair.

statues were carried away by the
French, the chisel Of Canoya was en-.
plOyed to replace them by others. The
Venus dc Medici was succeeded by the
Venusof Canoya. Connoisseurs would
esteem it almost an impiety to speak Of
the modern statue as equal to the an.
cient-yet are the two sometimes com.
pared together a thing which has
happened to the work Of no other artist
of these Latter times. There is now
plaster cast of the Venus of Canoya in
the Academy Of Arts at PHILADELPHIA,
which is inexpressiblv beautiful. For.
syth was in Rome after the statues had
been carried to Paris. Speaking of the
Perseus and Creagas OF Canoya, be
says, .s1he statue of Perseus stands
fronting the cast of the departed Apol.
10, and seems 10 challenge comparison,
Alike in sentiment, in occasion, and in
point Of time--Apollo has just shot the
arrow, Perscus has Just cut ofi' the head
of the beautiful Medusa. Perhaps the
hero is too delicate and smooth for 2
/, ortal warrior; he has the soft beauty
Ola Mercury, or an Antinous. Instead
Of turning in horror from the petri6c
head, he eyes it with indignant compa.
cency. But it is criminal to object,
for marble has seldom received a form
so perfect" Such is the artist who
has been employed and he has been en-.
gagged III work where lis toll has
been pleasure; for it is said that he had
a long time ago expressed q desire to
execute the statue of Washington. We
must not expect all Apollo from his
chisel, but We may expect the finest
piece of sculpture the western world
has ever seen, or is likely to see for
many years. For where is the Prince
in Europe who will give up one of his
ancient statues to us, and when may
we expect 70 see such another Master
as Canoya? He will himself execute no
more statues Of Washington, because
he works for fame, and will not waste
his time upon duplicates of works that
are already finished. He is besides, at
this time advanced in years, aud sur.
rounded by blocks of marble which he
has begun, but which would take him
another life to finish. The Legislature
were fortunate in taking up the subject
at time when they could employ such
an artist, and before he was under any
engas ements, either to the general go
yernment or the sister states.
