Untwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony.

After the battle of CulIoden, re.
ward ofthirty thousand pounds was of.
fered to any one who should discover
or deliver up the young pretender. He
had then taken refuge with the Ken
nedies, two common thieves, who pro
tected him with fidelity, robbed for his
support, and often went in disguise to
Inverness to buy provisions for him.
A considerable time afterward, one oil
these men, who had resisted the temp
tation of thirty thousand pounds for a
breach offidelity, was hanged for steal

HAIR MONY.

The emotions of harmony are not
found in the laboured, fantastic, and
surprising compositions that form the
modern style of Music but you meet
them in some few pcices that are the
growth Of wild unvitiated taste you
discover them in the swelling sounds
that wrap US in imaginary grandeur in
those plalntive notes that make US in
love with woe in the tones that utter
the lovers sigh, and tluctuate the breast
with gentle pain in the noble strokes
that coil up the courage and fury ofthe
soul, Or that lull it in confused visions
of JOY; in short, in those affecting
strains that find their way to the inward
recesses of the heart ;
Untwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony.

SOLITUDE.

SOLITUDE.
To love and live for one alone,
From esrth's dark trammeis frees
To age no form except that one
Which most we wish to see,
To strive the lonely hour TO bless,
Cheerd through BY gratitude:
The heart then feels no loneliness
This is not solitude.
Bet to gaze on the desert home,
The iou'd one far away,
And to count the ling ring days 70 come.
And mourn DER the delay;
Watch for the weIl-known step-to bear
A stranger foot intrude;
Then dash away the starting tear
1his--tlps is soEfSs!c.
; To wander through the festive scene,
With souls but Ill at ease;
To stray where lighter hearts have been,
And mock at thoughts like these;
To look for one mid those around,
Would glad our mournful mosd,
Then start from mir,h's dIstraetng sound
JMs--fhis is solitude.
Tread we the gorgeous balls OF state,
When all we love are by;
We can gaze on the rich and great
Without one enyious Sigh:
- The self-same scene thu eye surVe1s
With other feelings view'd,
We mingle in the mirthfm maze,
No longer soG'tVe.
= To lands where foot had seldom been,
Were it our fate to roam.
! Still 'tis tho heart which gllds the scene,
The heart which terms the home.
Our path sGsg be the wilderness,
But still by Joy pursued,
" The one IoV'd hand in ouTs we pass,
And find no ssEfldf. hAfiL2A.
