A SKETCH.

His face had lost the bloom
OF reckless childhood, and his eye its brightness
There was an earnest tixedness OF gaze,
Denoling that the heart beneath had lost
lis buoyancy its fantastic dreams
Had given place TO peaceful thoughtfuIness.
The sprightly gait, the laup hing lips, were changed
To calm and sober seriousness OF mien.
Clouds hung above his youth--forsaken hope
Bercaved affecton---and the broken chain
OF ardent ieeling--and the hliehted bud
Os Young enjoyment, like The sombre pa
Hung DER his hear, and all beneath was dark
Dark as the deep and midnight loneliness
That reigns within the vsued sepulchre!
And now, no more his fancy revelled on
The morning cloud. that spreads its golden irlnge
Along inc east and b,ightens in the suns
Nor on the virgin bushes of the rose,
Opening her bosom to the summer gale;
Nor on the varied colors Of he bow
Which bends its blue and crimson arch in heaven
No. but when tempssts yexed the brow of night,
And The dark angel OF the storm went forth
Upon his wild and desolating march,
Then gIowed his spirit with strange ecstacy,
And held high converse with the elements.
And often would he Gull the cypress hough,
With the sad leaves of the sepulchral yew
| and round his temples bind the joyless wreath
How different from tl.e gay and floral crown
Which bloomed upon his brow in earlier days
There was an air of stern and proud enduranee,
As if his spirit though it ceased to strive
With its harsh destiny, had learned to bear;
| As il il scorned to raise the sad lament
| And broken hearted wall DER its misfortune,
And spurned the false and hollow sympathy
lOfhuman kind but ch Sc the noble part,
10 wrestIe with its agony in silence. FLORlo'

coRBETT,s OPINION OF yuNIus.

"An anonymous scribbler; as corrupt knave,
pei haps as ever sacked public money; writer who.
to be damned instantly, only needed to have gwen
his name; hooker together Of antithesises; the
writer OF long book without any one sound prin-
cpc except by accident; and without as much
useful knowledge in the whole book equal in
amount to what any plough boy can give YOU
respecting the best mode Of killing rats and mice;
"a writer that never praised by any man Of sense,
except from mere fashion and carelesaness; writer
that his reputation TO the sort of mystery that
hangs about the boos---a foundation for reputation
Just as good as that OF the ghost of Cocklane and
not one whit better The matter of the book is
bad the style affected, and every way vicious. There
lis nothing in the book that eulightens The mind,
or warns the heart. Strings OF coolly framed
sentences, and, which is great vice with US,
antithesises without point. This book has been
praised by that cOterie Of men calling themselves
| the learned; men who soleinnly decided that he
writings of Win Ireland could have come from no
other pen than that of Shakespeare book, in
short containing nothing hut impeFtinent malgnlty,
and praised BY nobody but solemn fools"

The sunset is calm on the face of the deep,
And bright is the last look Of day in the west,
And broadly the beams OF its parting glance sweep,
Like the path that conducts to the land OF the bleat:
All golden and green is the land as it flows
In pillows Just heaving its tide to the shore,
And crimson and blue is The sky, as il flows
With colours, which tell us that ylght is Ger
Ii sit on a rock, that hangs over the wave,
And the foam heaves and losses its snow-wrGashs
below:
And the fakes, gilt with sun-beams, the flowing tide
pave,
| Like the gems that in gardens of sorcery grow
| | sit on rock, and watch the light fade
Still fainter and fainter away in the west.
And dream can catch, thro' the mantle OF shade
! A glimpse of the dim distant land of the blest.
And long for a home in the land OF the soul,
Where hearts always warm, glow with friendship
| and love,
And days ever cloudless still cheery roll,
Like the age of sternity blazing above
There, with friendships unbroken, and loves eve
| true,
Life flows on, one gay dream of pleasure and res:
And green is the fresh turf, the sky purely blue,
That mantle and areh DER the land Of the best,

FREEDOM.

WHAT is freedom TO mankind,
The noblest gift of Heavens bestowing;
The spark that lights the blaze of mind,
Within the generous bosom glowing.
The SOCIOLOGY, when his task is ended,
Feels all its charms and forwards bounding,
His shouts, with woodland music blended,
From hill and vale is heard resounding.
IT'S manhood's charter. which at birth
Is in his heart the deepest wrote;
Grants for his home the ample earth,
While scars his soul to worlds of thought.
What is freedom IT'S The fame
That in the patriots eye is beaming,
When in his injured country's name
His sword is high in battle cleaning.
Twas this that urged Riegc-Tell--
And Washington, and Bolivar,
TIC thunder forth the oppressor's knelI,
Who dared with freemen's rights to war.
And where's the wretch who would not prize
That mind-emancipating strife,
That bids endarkened millions rise
To light, to energy TO life.
With freedom meath his humble thatcfl,
Labor may earn the fruits of earth;
Nor lordly ider dare to snatch
The need OF industry and worth.
With freedom blest, the gallant youth
To moonlit grove at eve may hie.
To greet the gentle maid, whose truth
The despots gold could never buy.
What to the Stare is this fair world;
Her fields with yellow crops that wave;
What, but hideous chaos hurled
TO crawl upon-and choose grave.
But there is not SO poor land,
That .frepmca tread--but every clod
Gives blessings to the industrious hand
Ard speaks an ever bounteous GOD.
