him will feel that this consistency is characteristic
| must, however, confess, his forgiveness of Mr
Jeffrey was an unlool,ed-for and unexpected piece
Of humility and loving kindness, and, as Scotch
man. am rather willing to regard it as presage Of
early DEATH and to conclude that the poet was FEY,
and forgave his arch enemy in the spirit Of the dy
ing Highlander-ss Wcel, weel, [ forgive him, but
God confound you, my twa sons, Duncan and Gil
bert, if YOU forgive him" The criticism with which
the Edinburgh Review welcomed the first fight
which Bvron's Muse took, would have crushed and
broken any spirit less dauntless than his own; and
for q long While he entertained the horror of
viewer which bird of song feels for the presence
Of the raven. But they smoOthed his spirit down,
first by submission and then by idolatry, and his
pride must have been equal to that which made the
angels fall if it had refused to be soothed by the
obesance Of 4 reviewer One never forgets, if he
should happen to forgive, insult or an injury Of
fercd in youth--it grows with the growth and
strengthens with the strength, and may reasonably
doubt the truth of the poets song when he sings Of
bis dear Jeffrey. The news of his death came upon
London like an earthquake; and though the com
mon multitude arc ignorant of literature and desti-
tutc Of feeling for the higher flights Of poetry, yet
they consented to feel by faith, and believed, be-
cause the newspapers believed, that one OF the
brightest lights in the armament of poesy was eX-
tnguished forever. With literary men a sense Of
the public misfortune mingled, perhaps, with a
sense that giant was removed from their way and
that they had room now to break lance with an
equal without the fear of being overthrow by fiery
impetuosity and colossal strength. The world OF
literature is now resigned to lower, but, perhaps,
not less presumptuous poetic spirits. But among
those who feared him, Or enved him, or loved him,
there are none who sorrow not for the national loss,
and grevc not that Byron fell 50 soon, and TO-
reign shore.

THE RAINBOW.

The evening was glorious and light thro' ,,c trees
Piayd the Shushe the aindrops the birds and the breeze
The landscape, outstIetching in loyelinesS, lay
On the lap ot the year IN the beauty OF May
For the queen of the spring as she passed the vale
Left her robe the aud her breath on the gales
And the smile of her promise gave JOY to the hours,
And nush iii her footsteps spranS heritage and MOWERS.
The skies like banner sunset unrolld,
Der the threw their splendor OF azure aud gold;
but one cloud at a distance Dense and increased
Till ma rgiu black touched the zenith and
We gazed on scenes, while around us they gow'd,
When vision of beauty appcard ON the clouds;
Twas not, like the at mid day view,
Nor the that rolls nightly Ihro starlight aud blue.
Like spirit ii came in the van of a STORM
Aud the eye aud the heart haild its beautiful FORM
For it lookd severe, like an angel of wrath,
But its garment of brightness tmned its dark path.
Ia the hues of its grandeur sublimely it stood,
Ger the river, the village, the field and the wood
And river, 6cld village and woodland grew bright,
Is conscious they gave and afforded delight
twas the Bow OF omnipoence bent in HIS hand,
Whose grasp at creation the universe spannd:
Twas the presence of God, in symbol sublimie
His vow from the food 10 the exit of time:
Not dreadful as when in the whirlwnd he pleads,
When storms are his chariot and lightning his seeds;
The black cloud his banner of vengeance unfurld,
And thunder his voice TO guilt stricken world;
In the breath of his presence when thousands expire
And seas boil with fury and rocks burn with fire;
ana the sword and the Pague-spot with death
plain,
And vultures and wolves graves of the slain
Not such was that Rainbow, tina, bcautifui one!
" hose arch was refaction, its keystone the sun;
pavilion 1t scemd with Il Deity graced,
And Justice and Mercy there and embraced.
Awhile, and it swee,y bent over the gloom
Like Love eer death couch, or Hope DER the tn,nr
