the celebrated Blue Beard, the hero OF
the well known nursery tale. This for
midable parsonage, who is not atoge ether
a mere creation OF the fancy, was Giles
de Retz, who lived in the reign OF Charles
VII. and was vassal OF John V Duke
OF Bretagne. He was tried a, Nantz on
suspicion of having destroyed number
of children who had been seen to enter
the castle and were never heard OF af-
forwards. The bodies OF several were
afterwards found, he having caused them
to be put to death 70 make use OF their
blood in writing charms and forming in
carnations to raise internal spirits, by
whose means he believed, according 10
the horrible superstition OF the times,
that buried treasures would be revealed
to him. On his trial he confessed the
most horrid acts Of a'rocity, and was SEN
fenced to be burned alive, but the Duke
caused him to be strangled before he
was tied to the stake. This execution
took place December 25th, l44O, and
detailed accoun, Of it is still preserved
in MS. in the archives Of Nantz.

east the towers Of Stirling rose in the
distance, and nearer shone the beauti-
full lake Of Montieth; and still closer at
hand the wild enchanting Trosachs

their summer beauty; on the nort'-

ovsrpoweringly sublime amphitheatre
Of towering and TERED mountings ris-

spectiye, till the eye, wandering from
peak to peak, from snow-clad pinnacle

wildered and confused, and with re-
verential awe closes upon the material
universe as having seen enough! Lou
lisa burst into tears and hid her face

little killed Highlander, who did not
understand her feelings. "And this

ously, "for which the Douglass, the
Bruce, and the Wallace fought. Place

reptile to the cold creed Of the Atheist!
Oh! it is sight that wakens in the
soul its highest and purest thought, a
sight that gives life and being to the
happiest creations Of our brightest
dreams; sight, Eustace, that laughs
TO scorn the deceitful poets who paint
in hues so sombre the worlds sad re-
alities."

SONG.
toffe- thee now chieftain's hand,
The ordering glittering on it;
For thee discard my Slaive and brand,
And doff my highland bonnet.
Nv words are rude-for my mountain height
By elansmen alone is prest,
But pure as its evening hue ofhght,
Is the love ofmy highland breast.
Loeb I.omond shall not more true reveal
The tint of the sky above, lteeI
Than thy chiefain's e'er anxious heart shall
Each Joy of his lowland love.
And should ever an eye too boldly glance
To give thee an instant's pain
This willow wand to Southron lance,
Nneyershall gaze again.
viii others dispute the prize claim'
see-here is Cameron's arm
I, has written the page ofthe Camcron's tame'
II shall save my love from harm.
Then bark to the land Of the Hood and fell,
As the bride Of the chiestain Gael;
And an hundred harps shall triumphant tell
My 10Y to the lowland vale.

the "Divine FORM" for so it is called,
. Pet. i. 4. "that ye might be partakers
Of the Divine nature" though nature
does not here signify essence, but the
divine image, as in Gal. iv. 8. (which
by nature are no Gods" and Col. ii. 9
THeiOtes, Rom. l. 90, Teiotes, Acts xvii
SO, to Theion, which words are all trans
lated Godhead. But though the ma
ture of God cannot be defined, since
he who has no efficient cause is essen
TALLY greatest of all, Isaiah xviii. some
description Of it at least may be collec-
led from his name and attributes.
The names and attibutes of God Ell
Their show his nature, or his divine
power and excellence. There are three
names which seem principally to init
mate the nature of God. Jehovah, Jah,
Ehie. Even the name of Jehovah was
not forbidden 10 be pronounced, it was
with due reverence. Exod. iii Is.
"Jehovah, God of your fathers-this
is my name for ever, and this is my
memorial" Xxx. 7. "rhou shall, not
take the name of Jehovah thy God in
vain" Again, it occurs pronounced,
Kings xvii. H. las Jehovah thy God
liveth," and so in many other places.
This name both in the New Testament
and in the Greek version of the Old, is
always translated, the Lord-probably
for no other reason than because the
word Jehovah could not be expressed
in Greek letters. Its Specification is,
or"which is, and which was, and W ich
is to come" Rev. |. 4. Jah, which is a
sort of contraction Of the former narne,
has the same Specification. Exod. xvii.
IS. Jah hath sworn"-and in other pla-
ces, Exod. iii. IA. Ehie," am that |
am, or will be )" and if the first person
be changed into the third Of the kin
dred verb, Jave-who is, or will be
meaning the same as Jehovah, as some
think, AMI more properly expressed
thus than by the other words; but the
name Jave appears to signify not only
the existence of his nature, but also OF
bis promises, or rather the completion
of his promises; whence it is SAID Ex-
cd vi. 5. "by my name Jehovah was ]
not known to them"

MUTON'S POSTHUMOUS TREATISE.
We present our readers with an ex-
tract from this work. The original
which is written entirely in Latin, y
suppossa 10 be in the hand writing oil
the poets daughter, OF whom 1t Is re-
corded that he brought her up in the
knowledge OF Latin and Greek. 1t Is
fortunate for the literature OF our co0n-
try that Milton found an amanuensis
in the domestic circles Of his family,
for as this and others OF his celebrate
productions were composed after the
loss of his sight, the rich current OF
his thoughts might not otherwise have
come down to posterity. 1t appears
evident that this work was intended by
its author TO be posthumous publica-
ton. The i'll odour into which the late
Protectors Secretary naturally fell up
OH the restoration of royalty, is sutfi-
.cient to account for Miiton'S reluctance
10 bring himself inJo public notice by
challenging attention TO controversial
work of this kind. In the State Paper
Office it was found, tied up with par
eel of affidavits and documents con-
nected with the popish plot Of Oates,
and the Rye House plot. 1t had al.
ways been said by the Biographers OF
Milton, that work upon the Christian
religion had been conhded by Milton
to MIR. Skinner, one of the bard's
known familiar friends. Among the
loose papers found tied up along with
the treatise; or in immediate contigul-
ty with it, was an original deposition
OF Titus Oates, signed also by Sir Ed
mund Bury Godfrey, few days before
his murder, containing amongst others
the name Of Skinner, as one OF those
suspected of being concerned IN the
plot. The probability, therefore Is,
that this work was seized amongst the
papers of Skinner, whose name was
here set down, and whose supposed
possession of a secret manuscript oil
Milton might have led to his falling
under the suspicion Of Government
This is the "strange eventful history
connected with the discovery OF the
Treatise in such odd company. The
further we go into the work, the more
we are confirmed in our original OPT
Mon Of its practical and theological
value.

Sir William Curtis has nearly finish
ed an epic poem under the title Of the
"French Revolution" which is to be
dedicated to the king. The civic ba-

of Robespierre and Bonaparte, as the
two following lines in the Introduction
will testify.
sRobespierre was Bonaparte's precursor.
Bob was bad fellow, but Boney was
