Literary. following work has been lately
published in London:
Travels through part of the United States and
Canada, in 1918 and 1919, by John III. Duncan,
A B. In the title page of this work is printed, the
following sentiment expressed by Madame de StaeY.
--'s There is a people who will one day be very
great: mean the Americans. One stain only OBJ
scures the perfect splendor Of reason which viyi
fes that country: slavery still subssts in the south
ern provinces, but when the Congress shall have
found remedy for that evil, how shall we be able
to refuse the most profound respect to the consti-
tuition of the United States"
Another highly important work respecting Wa
poIeon is now in the press. We allude TO the Jour-
nal of DR.. Antomarchi. who was the physician APP
pointed after the departure of MIR. O'NIeara, and
who attended Napoleon in his last moments. We
understand that some very extraordinary partcu-
lars relating to the Emperor will be dvulged in
this work. London paper OF Decs

ON PARTING.


ON PARTING.
The kiss, dear maid, thy lip has left
Shall never part from mine,
Till happier hours restore the gift
Untainted back to thine.
Thy parting glance, which fondly beams,
An equal love may see;
The tear that from thine eyelid streams
Can weep no change in me.
ask no pledge to make me blest
In gazing when alone,
Nor one memorial for breast
Whose thoughts are all thine own.
Nor need write--to tell the tale
My pen were doubly weak:
Oh what can idle words avail,
Unless the heart could speak?
BY day or night, in veal or wo,
That heart, no longer free,
Must bear the love 1t cannot show,
And silent ache for thee.
