SIR WALTER SCOTT.
from a late English paper.l


We have received the following letter
from Sir Walter Scott, on the subject of the
Latin Epitaph inscribed over the marble image
ofhis favorite dog. We give it with real plea.
sure, convinced that all the world will see it,as
we do, a perfect specimen of good temper
and manly candor:
To the Editor.
s'Sir- rs / am friend to truth, even in
trihes, / cannot consent to shelter myselfunder
the classical mantle which Mr.. Lionel Bergu-
or, and some unknown friend have chosen to
extend in their charity over my faults in prose-
DIV. The two lines were written in mere whim,
and without the least intention of their being
made public In the first line the word jaces
is mistake of the transcriber, (whoever took
that trouble the phrase is dormis, which I
believe is good prosody. The error in the
second line, ad ju,,uam; certainly exists, and
bow to the castigation. I must plead the
same apology wich was used by the great DR..
Johnson, when he misinterpreted aveterinay
phrase of ordinary occurence-ignorance-
pure ignorance was the cause Of my plumbers.
Forty years ago, longs and shorts were little
attended to in the Scottish education, and
have, it appears, forgot the little I may then
have learned. have only to add, thatI am far
from undertaking any branch of scholarship
because have not the good fortune to possess
it, and heartily wish that those who succeed
us may have the benefit of more accurate
classical education than was common in my
earlier days.
"The inscription cannot now be altered;
hut if remains a memorial of my want OF
learning, it shall moth addition convey any M
putation on my candor, / should have been
ash.med. at more stirring time, to admission
for mi. plea of guilty; but at present you
nav think It worth place in your paper.

Messrs. EDrToRs-I shall feel hap
py should the following lines be thought
worthy of place in your interesting
would take great pleasure in
contributing my feeble efforts occasion
ally, if they could in the least aid to
promote the success Of your own labors.
TO CHARLOTTE M.
How great the pow'r Of beauty's smile,
To drive dull thoughts away;
To soften fate, the heart beguile,
And light the darkest day.
Sad feelings did my soul Cypress,
And black my ev'ry thought;
My anxious heart knew. no redress,
In vain for comfort sought
Fortune led me to Charlotte's door,
And soon saw her smile;
My anguish could feel no more,
find happy was the while.
.4h he who through dull life may see,
Such lovely smiles each day,
The envy of the world might be,
Natures debt well hate to pay.

From the Mv Monthly Magazine.]
THE JESTER CONDEMNED TO DEATH.
One ofthe Kings of Scandaroon,
a royal jester,
Had in his train gross buffoon;
Who used to poster
The court with icksinopportune,
Venting on the highest folks,
Scuryy pleasantries and hoaxes.
It needs some sense to play the fool
While Wholesome rule
Occurred not to our jackanapes.
Who consequently found his freaks
Lead to Vulnerable scrapes,
.and quite as many kicks and tweaks,
Which only seem'd to make him faster
Try the patience of his master.
Some sin at last beyond all measure,
Incur'd the desperate displeasure
Of his serene and raging highness,
Whether he twitch'd his most revered
.and sacred beard,
Or had intruded on the shyness
of the Seraglio, orlet fly
in epigram at royalty,
None knows; his sin was an occult one;
But records tell us that the Sultan,
Meaning to terify the knave,
Exclam'd-"Tis time to stop that breath,
Thy doom is seal'd-presumptuous slaves
Thou stand'st condemned to certain death.
Silence, base rcbel!-no replying
But such is my indulgence still,
That ofmy own free grace and will,
/ leave to thee the mode Of dying,
'rhy royal will be done-tis just"
Replied the wretch, and kiss'd the dust
"since my last moments to assuage,
Your majesty's humane decree
Has deign'd to leave the choice to me,
I'll die, oplease you. of old age"
