full of natural elegance, simplicity and pathos,
of the warnest kind. The publisher showed at
once his skill and generosity by pressing upon Mr.
Goldsmith hundred pounds, which the author in
sisted upon returning, when, upon computation he
found that it came to nearly crown for every
plet, sum which he considered no poem could be
worth. The sale of the poem made him amends
for the unusual instance Of moderation. Llssoy,
near Bayshannon, where his brother, the clergy
man, had his living, claims the honor of being the
spot from which the localities of the Deserted VII
lage were derived. The church, which tops the
neighborng hill, the mill and lake, are still pointed
out and hawthorn has suffered the penalty Of po
etica celebrity, being cut to pieces by these admI
ofthe bard, who desired to have classical tooth
pick cases and tobacco shoppers. Much OF this
supposed locality may be fanciful but it is pleas
ing tribute to the poet in the land of his fathers
The latter author thus concludes his examination
ofthat ever popular work. the Vicar Of Wakefield.
owe read the Vicar Of Wakefield in youth and
in age. We return to it again and again, and bless
the memory of the author who Contrves so well TO
reconcile to human nature, Whether choose
the pathetic and distressing incidents of the fire,
and the at the jail, or the lighter and humo-
rous parts Of the story, find the best and tuest
sentiments enfoycedin the most beautiful language;
and perhaps few characters of purer dignity have
been described than that of the excellent pastor,
rising above sorrow and oppression, and labouring
for the conversion of those felons into whose com
pany he had been thrust by his vlllanous creditor
In too many works Of this class, the critics must
apologize for particular passages in this
narrative, as unfit to be perused by youth and inno
cence But the wreath Of Goldsmith remains un-
sullied; he wrote to eXalt virtue and expose vice ;
and he accomplished his task in manner which
raises him to the highest rank among British au-
thors We close bis volume with sigh that such
an author should have written so little from the
stores of his genius, and that he should have
been SO prematurely removed from the sphere of
literature which he adorned"

sorrows in the bosom of friendship, and there find
a sweet relief for our aching hearts; but when
friends estranged, when they turn deaf ear to
our lament and refuse the soothing and tender Office
of alleviatng miseries, We find life become no
longer pleasure and walk, isolated beings, amidst
the haunts of men. was led into this train of re-
Election, from having lately revisited the place Of
my natvity-the spot, where reckless of the future
had wandered with my youthful companions in
thoughtless, yet happy security-where had loved
with ali the ardour of youthin short, where | had
spent the happiest portion OF My life. On my arri-
val, Immediately few to the arms Of one rwhom
| had ever cherished the most sincere and ardent
affection. And it was delightful to dwell on there
membrance of days long gone by-and we re-
called the feats Of youth, and the memory OF
our departed companions, it seemed as though 1t
were but the dim remembrance Of vision. And
as we wandered along the neanderng rivulet and
empowered groves, the scenes of many youthful
gambol, / saw in my minds eye the associates of
my youth, and fancy coniured to my view the no.
nourable stations in life which they might then
cupy, or, the sinks Of vice into which they might
be plunged. INDUCING such reflections, and wrapt
up in my own thoughts proceeded unconscious of
the presence of my friend, until the sight Of the vii
lage burial ground reused me from the reverie in
which was involved. The sun was just setting in
glory in the western horizon-a still, aud calm
and peaceful---not breath of air disturbed the
ruf1ed silence ofthe scene and the whole present
ed a sight grand and awful. Entering the sacred
dwelling place of the dead, saw recorded Oh more
than tombstone, the names of those who
formerly my dearest friends, and with whom had
spent many happy hour. There lay those whose
early happiness had been closely blended with my
own, those whom had loved as brothers, and who
when last parted in the full hey day Of
youth, and looked forward to long course of use
funess and happiness. But they were cut down IN
the prime of their exsence!--and as stood on the
spot sacred to the memory of departed friendship,
felt that this world possessed little that was cheer
ing to had basked in the summer of prosperity,
and the black clouds Of adversely had gathered and
burst over my head-and felt that all WAS vanity.
But there was something mournfuly pleasing in the
thought, that was treading the soil under which
knew that the ashes of my fondest earliest friends
were reposng, and as each teay-drop stole down
my cheek, felt that some Of the load that pressed
on my heart removed. FLORIAN.
