Tho expression Of this mans counte

forbidding. His strong features, annk
cheeks, and hollow eyes, had, neverthe.
less, an expression ns shrewdness and
humour congenial TO the character of the
young adventufer. But then, those same
sunkeh eyes; from Under the shroud of

had some difficulty to reconcile his looks

other respects. His cap in particular,
in which all men of any quality displayed

ANECDOTE.

In one of those lucid intervals which
varied the course of Swift's unhappy
lunacy, his guardians, or physicians,
took him out to give him an airing.
When they came to the Phoenix Park,
Swift remarked new building which
he had never seen, and asked what it
was designed for? DIR. King bury an
swered, That, ,ir. Dean, is the maya
zine for arms and powder, for the secu
ri,y of the ci,y?" "Oh! OH" says the
Dean, pulling out his pocket book,
sles me take an item of that. This is
worth remarking my tablets, as Ham
let says, my tsblets-memory. put
down that" He then produced the fol-
lowing lines, being the last he ever
wrote
Behold! a proof Of Irish sense'
Here irish wit Is seen,
When nothing's left for our defence,
We build m asazine.
The Dean then put up his pocket
book, laughing heartily at the conceit,
and clenching it wi tn after the steed's
stolen, shut the stable door.

POETRY.
from the Ne,O-JIonthty Magasine.
ON KOSClUSKO.

ON KOSClUSKO.
A sacred grief sublime and bright
Descends o'er KoSciusko's bier;
1t mourns not that mis- son OF flight,
No more coutinei in mortal night,
Has sought its native sphere;
The hallow'd tear that glistens there,
By purest, Hottest feelings given,
Flows more from triumph than despair,
And falls like due from heaven
Thus oft around the sitting sun
Soft showers attend his parting ray,
And sinking now his journey done,
His matches course TO evening run
They weep his closing day.
Who hath not aatch'd his tight decline,
Till sad, yet holy feelings rise
Although he set again to shine,
More glorious, in more cloudleSs skies.
As proudly shone thy evening ray,
AS IN that contest bright and brief,
When patriots hail'd thy noon tide day,
And own'd thee as their chief
Thou vert the radiant morning star,
Which bright to napless Poland rose
The leader of her patriot war,
The sharer of her woes!
What though not earthly triumPhs grace
The spots where thou hast ia en- thy sleep;
Yet Glory points thy resting place,
And thither Freedom turns TO weep.
The pompous arch, the columns boast,
Though rich with all the sculptor's art,
Shall soOr in times dark sweep be lost;
But tho suryiVest in the heart,
And hrIgnt thy dwelling still shall be
Within the page OF Liberty.
And DER the turf where sleeps the brave
Such sweet and holy drops are she'd
Who would not fill Patriots grave,
To share them with the deads
The laurel, and the oaken bough,
Above the meaner great may bloom,
Andtrophies due to freedoms brow,
May shade expressions tomo;-
But Glory's smile hath sned on thee
The Light of immortality!
