ELECTED POETRY.

The following beautiful extract is from Metrlc'
tale, by Ellen Fitzaithur, recently published
London.
"When b, that earth so brightly blazing,
The father or his child was gazing,
w lille she tbs wintry hours to cheer
With native woodnotes charmed his ear,
(Notes to that partial ear excelhng,
The loiliest strains from science sweIllngD
Or light oil heart, in youthful glee,
With converse innocent and Tree,
Beguied the time, or turned the page
Oh holy writ, or learning sage,
Or caught, inspired, the glowing theme
Oh lofty bard, or minstrePs dream,
Till in her eyes kindling fire
Sparkling reflected from the Tyre
Oh! then, while gazing on her face,
He watched each wildly varying grace,
Till silent rapture's tender tear
Dimmed ON his eyes, sight so dear:
With graceful love his heart o'erhowing,
To Heaven with pIous transport glowing,
Poured out its speechess tribute there,
In praise no language could declare.
"If there is happiness below,
In such home she's shrlned-
The human heart can never know
Enjoyment more refined,
Than where that sacred band is twined
OF filial and parental ties,
That tender union all combined
Ofnatures hottest sympathies
"Tis friendship in its loveliest dress
IT'S loves most perfect tenderness

All other friendships may decay,
All other loves may fade way;
Our faults or iollies may disgust,
The friend in whom we foundly trust,
Or selfish views may intervene,
From US his changeful heart to wean;
Or we ourselves may change and find
Faults to which once our love was blind;
Or lingering pain, or pining care,
AT length may weary friendships car,
And love may gaze with altered eye,
When beauty's young attractions fly.
But in that union firm and mild,
That binds parent to his child,
Such Earring chords can never sound,
Such painful doubts can never wound.
Tho health and fortune ray decay,
And teetng beauty pass away
Tho grief may blight or SIN deface
Our youths fair promise, or disgrace
May brand with infamy and shame,
And public scorn, our blasted name
1ho' all the fell contagion fly,
vi guilt, reproach, and misery;
When love rejects and friends forsake,
a parent, though his heart may break,
From that fond heart will never tear
he child, who last retreat is there
Oh union, purest, most sublime
he grave, itself, but for time
Thy holy bond shall sever;
His hand, who rent, shall bind again
With hrmer links thy broken chain,
To be complete foreyer''
