f'rhe occasion oftheselines was this: The Re-
gent had collected gallery OF the portraits
ofthe priacipal living British beauties, exc.
cated by distinguished female artist One
of these, Lady Jersey, lately happened to fall
under the displeasure Of the Prince, and her
& picture ANONYMOUSLY dismissed from the
collection
When the vain triumph of tn imperlai lord
Whom seryile Rome obeyed, and yet abhorr'd,
Gave to the vulgar gaze each glorious bust,
Tbat left ALL eness of the brave and Just;
NAM most adrnir'd each scrutinizing eye,
of all that deck'd the passing pageantry,
Ivhat snread from faceto face that wond ring
air?
The thought OF Baurus, for he suas not there.
The absence prov'd his worth; that absence
His mem'ry on the Longing mind unmiS'd,
And more decrsed his glory 60 endure
Than all gold Colossus could secure.
Ifthus, fair Jersey, our admiring gaze
Search for thy form in vain. and mute amaze,
Amid st those piCtnr:d charms, whose lowell

Bright though they be, thy own had ,ender-

*Heir of mis- fathers
lfhis corrupted eye and wther'd heart
Could with thy gentle image bear to part,
That tasteless shame be his and ours the grief,
To gaze on beanty's band. without its chief:
Yet comfort still one selfish thought imparts,
Welose that portrait but preserve our hearts.
What can his Wanted gallery now disclose!
A garden. with all flowers except the rose;
A fouat. that only wants its living stream;
A aig,at. with every star, save Dams beam;
Lost to our eyes the present form shall be
Phat turn from tracing them to dream of thee.
And more ON that recall d resemblance pause
Than all he shall notforce on our applause.
Long may thy yet meridian lustre shine,
With all that virtue asks OF homage thine:
The symmetry of youth, the grace OF mien,
'rbe eve that gladdens. and the brow serene;
The slossy darkness of that clustering hair,
Which shades, yet shows, that forehead more
than fair;
Each glance that wins US, and the life that
Il throws
A spell that will not let our looks repose,
Rut turn to gaze again, and find anew
some charm that well rewards another view:
These are not lessen d, these are still as bright,
Albeit too dazzling for dotard's sight;
fAnd these must wait till every charm IS gone;
To please the paltry heart that pleases none:
That dull cold sensualist whose sickly eye
In enyious dimness pass'd thy portrait hys
Who rack his little spirit to combine
Its hate offreedom's loveliness and thine.

Agnes Bradler pursued her route

a degree of anxiety. Evening had
let fall her veil, and though twilight
still fingered about the scenery, like
the paid spirit of departed day-her
hues were grave and melancholy, and
combining with the loneliness of all

overpowered her. She now recol-

Of her brother; and while ignorant of
its reason, her terror and excited
Imagination, dwelling on the unusual
