great diligence, but by chain of unIucky events
hs affairs were brought into very unhappy sit

with little tuft of raw silk in his mouth, which
unknowingly he ground awhile between his teeth,
and then spit it out; as it fell directly before

him out OF his fit Of the vapours; he took it up,

Hail to the ever green isle of the ocean,
Long may it flourish the gem OF the sea;
Beat cv'ry heart here with patriot emotion,
As we pledge to our saint in the land OF the

Blest be his honor'd name,
Long may the noble flame
Which Erin once circl'd in glory now fed;
Still in each patriot breast,
In all its pride confess'd,
Burning in splendour o'er millions yet spread
And hail to tho brisht.coming day, when our
island,
Shall rise in her might like the storm on the
wave,
When liberty, echo'd from valley and highland,
Shall light up its flame in the hearts of the
brave:
To to the coming day, -
When in the battle fray,
The genius of freedom each soul shall inspire,
When ev'ry heart shall be
Glowing with liberty,
Each eye he illum'd with liberty's fire
And hail to the bright op'ning dawn OF that nation,
Of nations exalted, the proudest in station,
Where the freeman dolores, but is freed from

Tears are wiped from all eyes.

THE INDIAN FLOWER.
The shadows oftwlight
Steal over the sky,
And the star of the evening
Has risen on high.
The sweet breathing flowers
Are seeking repose,
And the dewy drops moisten
The leaves as they close.
The fragrance they scattcr'd
Around them all day,
In the chill of the night breeze
Has melted away.
Like the friends Of life's sunshine
Whose falschood is found,
When the cloud of affliction
Is gathering around.
But one is still left US
Now walking alone,
Whose perfume is richer
Than all that are gene.
1t rises from slumber
Its sweetness to shed.
when each child Of the daylight
,,
Is dropping its head.
So when false friends forsake us,
There still are some hearts
Who cling to us closer ..=...
As pleasure departs.
Their smile can illumine
Our darken'd path yet,
Though the Sun Of our fortunes
Forever has set. LIT. Gaz.

Xenophanes took the stars to be patches Of
clouds, lighted up at night and extlnguished in the

Anaxagoros considered the armament to be an
arch OF stone, the sun immense intiammable BODY,
and the stars to be stones whr!ed up from the sur

Diogenes declared the stars to be hot pumice

as lamps in the night but chiefly designed as ven

Others maintained that the sun was globular,
