From, the Nieyu YORK Spectator.
There is word that rends the heart,
Which all have said and all must say
Which breaks the bands of love apart,
And drives the dream of bliss away
And cen when youth all buoyant springs
Fresh into life, and gaily sings,
Light as the wood. lark on the spray,
That dreaded word may then be said.
Sad as the anthem DER the dead.

YOUTH AND LOVE.
While Youth DER Fancy's gay domain
Roved needless of approaching pain,
Young Cupid, with his easy heart,
Silly stole his easy heart,
And bore it, joying in his guile,
On Zephyrs to the Cyprian isle:
There to a rose buds silken shrine
Did he his throbbing prize consign;
With witchery and magic spell,
For heart to feel, not tongue to tell,
He folded it from mortal view,
And seard it up with morning dew.
There s,eep'din bliss full long it slept,
While DER i.'Love his vigil kept
In vain, for when, with ardent ray,
The radiant planet of the day
In fulness of meridian power
Shown on the faithIess guardian flower,
The opening petals ofthe rose
Their trembling captive soon disclose,
And Youth, who long had sought i'll vain,
Found, ne'er to lose, his heart again.

Fragment Fan Ode.
Again Prince! again slave!
Our eyes are mock'd with change
Perturbed Spirit !! scarce the grave
Would bar thy restless range.
daring robber of renown,
Thy hand has graspd thy forfeit crown.
(The tale how wildly strangely
This seeming high imperial aim,
Has half redeem'd thy clouded fame.
We scorn'd thee in thy lonely Isle,
And deem'd thee ofthat race,
Who, stripp'd Of pomp and power are vile,
Contented to be base
One, who tho used to give the law,
Could take it with a trembling awe
And fiji vassais place
For, cruel hearts are seldom brave,
A tyrant makes the tamest slave.
But, shadow'd by the ocean rock,
Thy hand, as from tomb
Gave to the world an earthquake shock,
Almost day of DOOM
Thy brooding plots in secret wrought,
Burst like the cloud with thunder fraught,
And, tightening through the gloom,
Thy eagle banner was unfurl'd,
And famed amazement DER the world

a word-'hat makes Us sadly own
That all our dearest joys are vain,
Which bids us trace our steps alone
Upon the finty path of pain:
Which, uttered by the parting BREATH
When the soul feels the chill of death,
And cannot glow with life again,
Commands the tear Of love to flow
For what has been its Joy below.
A word-that breaks the fond caress
OF youthful hearts in happy hours,
Which makes the world wilderness
Devoid OF yerdure--sun--and flowers
The blighted leaves bestrew the ground
The fatal ivy wreathing round,
O'ershado:ving the broken bowers,
Where once the rose and lily grew
And spanked in The morning dew.
A word-that sewers every tie
We fondly hope will last for aye
Which dims the light of beauty's eye,
And chases all her smiles away:-
Which marks affection ON her brow,
And wrings with pain her breast Of snow
What word is this which all must say g.
Youth. manhood, age We all can tell
It is that fatal word-FAREWELL
