POETRY.

From the Boston Monthly Magazine
s'TIS HERE-'TIS HERE-'TIS GONE
shakespeare.
The breath of one short Spring had famed his
cheek,
Nurturing him like one Of her own sweet
And tender flowers, into the flush and joy
Of new being The innocent boy
Was on his mothers fair arm lying, meet
Cradle for so beautiful guest Oh
How her glad eyes beamed into his the
while
He looked up in her face with wistful smile,
As if young thought were dawning, and would
speak [pain,
marked their mingling looks of love with
For oft the summer winds too rudely blow,
And tear the rose from her young bud
Again
saw him sporting in the healthful air;
A laughing, reckless urchin; not so fair,
But brighter and more glowing; wild with glee
And full of saucy prank and revelry.
A lapse of years-we met again-and now
At each glance the divinity within
Came beaming forth;-clearly upon his brow
Was stamped the seal of intellect: and in
His speaking eye saw the soul defined,-
The untamed spirit of a manly mind
Alas! that npeness but foreruns decay!
And brightest sunshine draws the darkest
cloud!
Tomorrow blights the promise ofto-day!-
His hour of darkness came-I saw him in
his shroud.

KING GEORGE THE with. AND MATHEWS.
Previous to Mathews leaving En-
gland for America, he exhibited selec-
ton from his popular entertainments,
by command ofhis Majesty, at Carlton
Palace. A party Of not more than six or
eight persons were present, including
the Princess Augusta and the Marchio:
ness of Conyngham. During the enter
tainment with which the King appear
much delighted) Mathews introduced
his limitations of various performers on
the British stage, and was proceeding
with John Kemble, in the Stranger,
when he was interrupted by the King,
who, in the most affable manner, obser-
we'd that his general limitations were ex-
cellent, and such as no one who had ever
seen the characters could fail to recog-
nize; but he thought the comedians
portrait OF Kemble somewhat too bois-
ferrous. "He is an old friend, and l
might add tutor Of mine," observed
his Majesty: "when I was Prince OF
Wales he often favored me with his
company. will give you an imitation
Of John Kemble," said the good humor-
ed monarch. Mathews was electrified.
The Lords of the bed chamber eyed
each other with surprise. The King
rose, and prefaced his limitations by OBJ
serving, 81 once requested John Hem-
BILE to take a pinch of snuff with me,
and for this purpose placed my box on
the table before him saying "Remble
oblige (obleege)me by taking pinch OF
snuff" He took pinch and then ad-
dressed me thus: Here his Majesty as
sumed the particular carriage ofkem-
ble) 81 thank your Royal Highness for
your snuff, but, in future, do extend
your royal jaws little wider and say
oblige." The anecdote was given with
the most powerful similitude to the ac-
tors voice and manner, and had an as
tonishing effect on the party present:
1t is a circumstance equally worthy OF
the King and the Scholar. Mathews,
at the conclusion, requested permission
to offer an original anecdote OF kembie
which had some affinity 10 the forego-
ing. Kemble had been for many years
the intimate friend of'the Earl OF Aber-
deem. On one occasion he had called
on that nobleman during his morning
ride, and LETT Mrs. Kemble in the car
rage at the door. John & the noble man
were closely engaged on some literary
subject very long time while Mrs.
Kemble was shivering with cold in the
carriage. At length her patience being
exhausted, she directed her servant to
inform his master that she was waiting,
and feared the cold weather would bring
on an attack of the rheumatism. The
fellow proceeded to the door OF the
Earl's study, and delivered his message,
leaving out the final letter in rheuma-
tism. This he had repeated three sew
eral times, by direction of his mistress
| before he could obtain an answer. At
length, Kemble, reused from his sub
iect by the opportunities OF the servant
replied some~ hat petulantly, We'll
your mistress shall not come, and TEL
low do you in future say tism."

BY the time my unfortunate friend
had finished his story, we had arrived
at the street where we were to part. l
shook his hand, and could not but at
tempt to comfort him. | suggested,
that although there was indeed no plea
sure without its pain, yet, on the other
hand, there was no pain without aplea-
sure. Concerning his unfortunate Wis
it to the theatre, told him he ought to
try and forget the imperfections Of the
place; attend rather TO the beauty and
talent of the performers, than to the
fiction of the play that is performed;
and urged to him, that if he would
observe with candour, the great pow
ers of Cooper, or watch the beautiful
eye, and intelligent countenance Of Miss
Johnson, as she was delighting- every
one else with the chaste elegance of her
acting, he could not but have forgotten,
at least for a time, his miserable fate,
and he would have passed his evening
like happy man.
"Forget," said he, "forget-how can
I but see, that man is a fool who will
weep at the misfortunes that he knows
are but feigned, laugh at the ludic-
rous situations that are but planned
for his pleasure9 AS for Cooper, |
am ashamed that he could bring tear
into my eye; and Miss Johnson, to say
the candid truth, Miss Johnson did
please me. was delighted, and the
only fault found with her was that /
could not see her more often. As he
spoke light breeze came sweeping
down the street; blew the dust into his
eyes, as he faced the point whence it
came-took away his straw hat, and
deposited itin the gutter. When he
regained it he placed it upon his head
and asa passenger smiled at his lu-
dicrous appearance, he cast an angry
look at me, and exclaimsd-"There
that's always the way with me-" He
moved off with a most tremendous
frown upon his brow, and have no
doubt he mourned over. the little acct
den: all the night. This is an unhappy
man:-there are men who pride them
selves on being miserable.

MISCELLANY.
From the Ne,U Fork Mirror, and Ladies
Literary Gazette.
THE UNHAPPY MAN

THE UNHAPPY MAN.
1t has been the remark of some poet,
that the bee draws honey from How
er, while the spider will light upon it
and extract poison. 1t is thus with
men; some will go through any trou-
ble-witness the wreck of their pro-
perry; the loss Of their friends; be sur
rounded with all the ten thousand vex-
atoms of human life; yet gather know
ledge from their misfortunes, and feel
happy that they are no worse. They
turn their meditations rather to the
blessings than the cares of the world;
and when they retire at night to their
family they talk. laugh, amuse them
selves and all around them with flow
Of pure sport-determined to be hap
py and are so. There arc other men
who are exactly the reverse. They
take deal of trouble to find out the
miseries around them, and brood over
every care with gloomy ill-natured
disposition, that marks them for mis-
anthropists. Such one is my friend.
He is the most miserable being ever
saw. With a strong mind, and a
proud spirit, he easily discovers what
he considers the imperfec,ions Of man
kind, and seems really too naughty to
be happy.
The other day took the trouble to
ask him why it was that he never en-
ioyed the things Of this world, and
was so wonderfully troubled with the
blue devils.
"Why," said hes"I'll tell you what
it is: / don't know the reason-but e.
yer since can remember, | have been
most unhappy man. Look around
you," said he, contracting his brow
and drawing UP his person, as if he
felt the most supreme contempt for
every thing in the world; "look around
YOU, and behold all the cheating and
hypocrisy of this miserable, miserable
world. See that store, which its own
er has .bedecked with gaudy grapes,
and all the fnery of women's wardrobe
with Leghorn hats large enough to
turn the wheel of windmill, and vel
vet cloaks to set off some foolish crea-
ture who thinks she is more beautiful
because she is extravagant. He has
purchased those things cheap by cry
ing down their merits, and now he
will palm them off for double their
value by praising the things ne has
Just condemned. Faugh! who can
feel pleasure in a scene like this? |
would kill myself, but that were fool
ish; thought can hardly endure life;
for tits but a succession Of sorrows.
We have hopes that are blasted-af-
fections that are betrayed; joys that
are fleeting: and pains that last forever.
He paused, and we walked on a lew
moments, when he continued-"Ihey
talk of amusements. I went once to
the theatre, to see great actor per
