POETRY.
GRECIAN LITERATURE.

The following Episaph, from the pen OF Leoni
das, describing the lamentation OF pareR
for the death of his child, appears to possess
uncommon beauty and pathos.
.Farewell, my child in manhood's bloom,
Thou sleep'st within the silent tomb.
Ere twenty tieetipg springs have shed
Their roseate honors DER thy head
Henceforth upon thy early bier
I'll daily shed the gushing tear,
And waste in signs the tedious stage
That closes ife's sad pilgrimage
For all no more the orient ray,
Soft slttering on the oceans spray,
No more the mead with fowrets drest,
Can waken raptures In my breast.
Come, then. my child! and let me share
In deaths dread hourthy constant care;
And let me. from life's sorrows tree,
Sink in the grave and rest with thee

but insulting and ungrateful mooke-

fortune you were bleeding to death,
you could expect no relief from such

mercy are too commonplace for sen-

Fatal effects Of Fear.--A man OF colour, OF
middle age, rather above the common stature robust
and apparently in good health, was received into
the London Hospital, laboring under moderate-
sized ancurism OF the femoral artery; an operas
ton was proposed to him, to which he readily as
sented. On entering the Theatre, however. he
tainted. Some wine and water was given to him,
which he distinctly swallowed, and the operation
was proceeded in, the artery exposed, and the figa
ure applied, but not tighened. During the opera
on il was observed that pulsatoB could be fcle
in the tumour, but this could be accounted for by
the fainting. Before tightening the ligature, it was
suggested by the Operator, to wait until the pulsa-
zion wa, re established. Some Increased attention
was then paid to arouse the dormant energies OF
the patient and it was then remarked that the SYM
cope had continued an unusual time. After the at
ltemp,s had been some time persevered in more
attentive observation proved that he was quite dead.
All the usual resuscitatiyc means were tried, bue
without effect On dissection, both sides of the
heart we're found empty, and the lungs turgid with
blood; no other particular appearance was obser~
sed.--Londoa Medical Repository.
