Some mute ingloriouS MILTON here mayre8t GRAY.
Nothing has greater tendency to elevate and
affect the heart than the reflection upon those
personages who have performed distinguished
part the theatre Of life, whose actions were at
tended with important consequences to the world
around them, or whose writings have animated or
instructed mankind. The thought that they are
now no more-that their ashes are mingled with
those Of the meanest and most worthless affords
subject of contemplation, which, however melan-
choly, the mind, in moment of pensiveness, may
feel a secret sort of delight to indulge. "Terhe
says Hamlet, "that she may paint an inch thick
vet to this she must come at last'
When Xerres was at the head of his numerous ar
my and all his troops ranged in order before him, he
burst into tears at the thought, that in short time,
they would be sweeped from the face of the earth,
and be removed to give place to those who would
fill other armies, and rank under other generals
Something of what Xerres felt, from the conside-
ration that those who then were, should cease to be,
it is equally natural to feel from the reflection that
all who have lived, have ceased to live, and that no.
thing more remains than the memory of a very few
who have left some memorial which keeps alive
their names, and the fame with which those names
are accompanied
But serious this reflection may be, it is not so
deep the thought, that of those persons who
possessed of talents for distinguishing them
selves in the world, for having their memories hand
ed down from age to age, much the greater part it
is likely, from hard necessity, or by of the
rious fatal accidents of life, have been excluded
from the possibility of exerting themselves, or of
being useful either to those who lived in the same
age, or to Posterty. Poverty in many, and "dis-
astrous chance" in others, have child the genial
current of the SOUL and numbers have been cut off
by premature death in the midst of project and am
bition. How many have there been in the ages
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1824-10-16

that are past; how many exist at this very moment,
who with all the talents fitted to shine in the world,
to guide or to instruct it. may, by secret mis-
fortune, have had their minds depressed, the
fire of their genius extinguished
have been led into these reflections from the
perusal of small volume of poems which happens
now to lie before me; which, though possessed of
very considerable merit, and composed in this
try, are, believe, very little known. In we'll
written preface the reader is told that of them
are the productions of Michael Bruce that this NJ
chael Bruce was born in remote village in Knross-
shire, and descended from parents remarkable for
nothing but the innocence and simplicity of their
lives that in the twenty first year of his age he was
seized with consumption, which put an end to his
life.
Nothing, methinks, has more the power of awak-
enng benevolence, than the consideration of genius
thus depressed by situation, suffered to pine in OBJ
security, and sometimes, in the of this unfor-
tunate young man, to perish, it may be, for want
of those comforts and convenences which might
have fostered delicacy of frame or of mind, ill
calculated to bear the hardshps which poverty laws
on both. For my own part, never pass the place
Ga little hamlet skirted with circle of old ash trees
about three miles on this side of Kiross) where NJ
chael Bruce resided never look on his dwelling
"a small matched house, distinguished from the
cottages of the other inhabitants only by sashed

ahoneysuckle plant, which the poor youth had train

alive, and that were great man to have the uxu-

cannot carry my readers thther but, that they
may share some of my feelings, will present them
with extract from the last poem in the little vo-
lume before me, which, from its subject, and the
manner in which is written, cannot fail of touching
the heart of every one who reads it.
A young man of genius, in deep consumption,
at the age of twentyo feeling himself every mo-
ment going faster to decline is an object sufficient
ly interesting; but how much must every feeling
the occasion be eightened, when we know that
this person possessed SO much dignity and compo-
sure of mind, not only to contemplate his APP
preaching fate, but even to write poem on the
subject
In the French language there is much admired
poem by the .3bbe de ChaIe,4, written in expecta-
ton of his own death, to the Marquis dc la Fa,ve
lamenting his approaching separation from his
