POETRY.

From Ney Number of Moores Melodies, Just
published.
She sung Of love-while Ger her Tyre
The rosy rays ofevening fell,
As if to feed with their soft fire
Tie soul within that trembling shell.
The same rich light hung DER her cheek,
And play'd around those lips that sung
And spake, as flowers would sing and speak,
fLove could lend their leaves . tongue.
But soon the West no longer burn'd,
Each rosy ray from heaven withdrew;
And, when to gaze again turn'd,
The minstrePs form seem'd fading too.
As fiber light and heavens were one,
The glory all had left that frame;
And from her glimmering lips the tone,
As from parting spirit, came.
Who ever lov'd, but had the thought
That he and all he lov'd must part
Fill'd with this fear, few and caught
That fading image to my heart
And cried, "oh Love is this thy doom!
OhGght of youths respondent day!
Must ye then lose your golden bloom,
And thus, like sunshine, die away"

FORCE OF PREJUDICE.

TOhSE or L NCJ OOlSC.
- A lady of exquisite beauty and great
Accomplishments, the wife Of a gentle
man of high rank in Calcutta, shortly
after her arrival there was delivered Of
her first child, which was female; i'm
mediately after whose birth it was en-
trusted, as is the custom in the East, to
native wet-nurse. When the lady was
sufficiently recovered to observe the at
tendants who were about her, particu-
larly the nurse who had the care Of the
child, she was struck with inexpressible
horror at the idea of her child taking
nourishment from the breast of black
woman. A deep melancholy took pos
session of her mind, which the argu-
ments of her numerous friends, in addi-
ton to those Of her husband, (who, on
othsr occasions, was most eloquent were
unable to remove or assuage.
When all hope of dissipating the
gloom, to which her prejudice had re-
duced her, were given over, and her
husband was brought nearly to despair,
military gentleman, we'll acquainted
with him, and lately arrived at Calcutta,
on being informed of the circumstance,
requested he might be permitted to pay
his respects to the lady, which was i'm
mediately granted.
When the cause of her sorrow had
been stated to him by the lady herself,
who declared that she distinctly per-
ceived the child grow darker every day,
and that she verify believed, before she
was year old, she would be as black as
the nurse herself, the gentleman, taking
her kindly by the hand, said, my dear
madam, why do you suffer such ridicu-
lous fancies to take possession of your
mind, and render you so very miserable
|-Imysefhave been in the habit Of
eating mutton for more than forty years,
and l have not yet the least appearance
of ,cool upon any part of my body!m
This laughable observation had a
better effect than all her husbands
learned and moral arguments, and i'm
mediately occasioned return of her
usual cheerfulness and vivacity.-The
mother and daughter are still living; &
the latter in spite ofthe black nurse,
is as beautiful and fair as an angel.
"Well," said Mr.. Secretary Goul-
bourn to laborer who was repairing
some fences near Dublin Castle, "what
do you propose to ask of Mr.. Canning
when he arrives here!" The suppress
sion of pigeons, of rabbits, and Of par
sons" was the reply. "Why, really,
this is a strange mode Of CHASING
them" "Nay, your honor, it is very
clear: the first devour us in the seed,
the second in the blade, and the third
| in the sheaf."

learn that General La fayette and SUITE

about nine O'Clock. The rapidity OF
his movements was such that his arri-

til he alighted at the inn-but the plea

the inhabitants, and produced the most
lively and gratifying testimonies OF the
generous feelings which pervaded the
Citizens upon the occasion Of his being
among them. On Sunday morning a
deputation of the York Corporation
