LINES ON A DYING PET BIRD

Sweet songster, can there be
Beyond this earthly shore,
A pure elysium place for thee,
When thou shalt be no more'
If so, how sweet the music there
o yes, dlyincly sweet,
When thou shalt hence repair,
Thy warbling friends to meet
Methinks now can see
Thy little friends unite,
And wait TO welcome thee;
Why then delay thy fight
Thou need'st not linger here
Life is not worth thy stay
IT'S hll'd with pain and care
Haste then, and flee away.
Dear warbler, could go,
I'd go with thee 10 rest
For much Of earthly wo
Is ranking in my breast.
Sweet little songster, fee,
And will make thy grave
Beneath some weeping tree,
And it shall DER thee wave.
Yes, little warbler, die
Thou canst not have tear
For fearless is my eve
Myheart is sad aud scar.
Yet thy fond, lonely mate,
Thy little friends will bring
To MARBLE DER thy fate,
And DER thy grave to sing.
And when the cold shall blight
Their summer evenings lay,
And they have took their flight
To other chmes away
Sweet little warbler,
Will then Thy relics save,
And with guardians eye,
Protect thy lonely grave. MALCOM

DEAR Son. Though on account of the

You, and to restore you to competent health,

The midnight cllmc had tolled from Marcos

Der Atlria's wave the trembling echo swept;
The pordolieri paused upon their oars,
Muttring their prayers as through the night it
crcpt.
Tar on the wave the kuelI OF time sped on,
Till the sound died upon is tranquil breast;
The sca-bov started as the peal rolled OH;
Ga1ed at his star, and turned himself 10 rest.

Still lingering the wave that bore i hon',

And every fragrant bower and tree
Smiled on The golden light;
The thousand eyes that clustered there
.Se'crn their life looked half 50 fair
As on that happy night
4 thousand sparkling lights were set
On every dome and minaret;
While through the marble halls,
The gush Of cooling fountains came,
And crystal lamps sent far their flame
Upon the high archcd walls.
But swcctcr far on Adria's sea,
The gondo!icr's wild minstrelsy
In accentslow began;
While sounding harp and martial eel
Their music joined, until the swell
Seemed heavens broad arch to span.
Then family ceasing-onc by one,
That plaintive voice sung on alone
Its wild hccn-soothng hy;
And then again that moonlight band
Started rs if by magic wand
In one bold burst away.
The Joyous laugh came on the breeze,
And mid the bright o'erlmngng trees,
The may dance went round;
And as njoyous wing they flew,
The smiling nymphs the wild ilowcrs threw,
That clustered on the ground.

that, in the view of putting him out Of
countenance, he cried aloud to the

A MODERN PRoTEUs I;

MODERN PROTEUS;
Or, an extraordinary instance Of the Fleribikty
of the Human Frame.
Joseph Clark, well made man, and
rather stout, exhibited, in the most
natural manner, every species of defor-
nifty and dislocation to which the
human form is liable. He frequently
diverted himself with the Taylors, who
came to measure him for clothes, by
changing his posture, and apparently
his shape, when the clothes were
brought home.
He could dislocate the vertebrs of
his back, and other parts of his body,
and resume their proper form, at his
pleasure. He once presented himself
in this situation, as patient, before
Molins famous Surgeon, who shock
ed at his appearance, refused to at
tempt the cure.
He often passed for cripple, with
persons no had but few minutes
before been conversing with him.
Upon these occasions, he would not
only change the position of his limbs,
but alter his features and countenance.
He could assume all the professional,
characteristic, and singular faces, which
he had observed at the Theatre, at the
Quakers Meeting, or any other place
Of public resort.
He was, by profession, Posture
Master, and died about the commence
ment of the reign of King William.
