came but they had passed away
The fair in form the pune in mind;-
Aud like stricken deer stray,
Where all are strange, and none are kind:
Kind to the worn, the wearied soul,
That pants, that struggles for repose:
that my steps had reached the goal
Where earthly signs and SORROWS close
Years have passed DER me like n dream
That leaves no trace on mcmorv's paac:
look around me, and seem
Some relic of former nse
Alone as in stranger cline,
Where stranger voices mock my year,
mtrN the tagging course OF time,
Without wish hope-a fear.
Yet had hnpcs-and they are fled;
And had fears were all too true:
My wishes tno!-bu; they are dead,
and what have with life to do
lis but To wear weary load,
may not, dare not, asst away.
70 sigh for one small still abode,
Where may sleep as sweet as thew
AS they the loveliest of their race.
Whose grassy tombs my sorrows steen:
whose worth my soul delights to trace
whose very loss tits sweet to wccuL
To weep beneath the Silent moon;
WIN none TO chide, to hear, To gee
Life can bestow no better boon
On one whom death disdains to free
! leave the world that Knows me NOT,
To hold communion with the dead;
And fancy concentrates the spot
Where fancy sofiest dreams are shed.

hear each spirits melting sah
turn TO clasp those forms of light
And The pale morning chills my eye
But soon the last din morn shall rise
The lamp of life burns icehly now
When stranger -hauds shall close my ewes.
Aud smooth my cold mud dewy brow
Cnknnwn lived so let me die:
Nor stone, nor monumental cross,
Tell where his uancless ashes lie,
Who sighed for gold, aud found it dross!

LOCH LEVEN-A FRAGMENT.


The many vicissitudes of fortune, that attended
the beautiful and unfortunate Mary Queen of Scots
have held her up to the pity and admiration Of sue
ceeding ages nor is there heart possessed of
feeling, that does not rise with indignation at the
monsters who pursued, imprisoned, and finally
brought to the block, the most accomplished wo-
man of her time. The recollection of her faults is
lost in that of her sufferings ;-suherngs SO great,
that even the brutal emissaries of Elizabeth, in
stead Of exultng at the catastrophe that closed the
life of their helpless victim, burst into tears they
saw her head streaming with blood, held up, with
the memorable expression, $50 perish all the ene-
mics of Elizabeth
After the battle of Langsde, Mary surrendered
herself to the mercy of her subjects headed by the
Earl of Morton, who Immediately sent her under
strong guard to Loeb Leven Castle, situated in the
middle of the Lake Cor Loch) of Leven, where she
was exposed to the daily insults of her harsh keep
er, Sir William Douglass, and his imperious wife,
who, having herself some distant pretentions to roy
atty felt entitled to insult the fallen dignity of the
unfortunate queen.
more dismal situation could hardly have been
by mountains every side, seemed to shut her up
from the world, and in tower of the castle, in
apartment, the immense grated windows of which
scarcely admitted the light of day, was the helpless
Mary Stuart immured Gas her enemies thought) for
life.
But under all these circumstances, she found
deliverer and protector in the brother of her keep
er, George Douglass, young nobleman then in his
nineteenth year, who had frequent opportunities
Of seeing her, and who had heart that could at
that age see and not love her Young Douglass
vowed to set her free perish in the attempt. He
engaged Sir James Hamilton, and seaton, Lord of
Nddre Castle, to assist him. They procured boat,
and waited with feet horses on the banks of the
lake, few miles from the small town of Kin Ross,

SELECTED FoRsTHE GARLAND.

Man was born social being and he must do
violence to his nature, before he shake off those
ties that link him to his kind. But universal phi
lanthrophy, lovely it is, must be founded par
tial and particular attachments, to operate with due
force. The heart that is not warmed by individual
love and select friendship incapable of expanding
to great and exalted sentiments It may fegn, but
it cannot feel, the generous glow Of affection, the
ardour of patriotism, the throb of benevolence.
Private attachments being then the foundation of
happiness misery, the criterion of worth, and
the source of all that is valuable dreadful in Life,
can too much care be employed in forming them,
in extracting their Sweets and avoiding their pains
Few are the pleasures that can sincerely and
honourably enjoy, without the participation OF
others but on the other hand, solitary misery is
not worth thought compared to that which the
mind feels, when it is unfortunate, through the want
of love or duty in those in whom it has reposed
its confidence or when its distresses involve the
objects of its fondest regard. man may bear the
stngs of ngratitude or the infection of wrongs,
from such as he never loved he may wrap himself
up in of recttude, and despse the
opinion he never courted but if the friend whom
he has relied is treacherous; if the bosom which
he has leaned false, regardless of his peace h
mainly can meet with no severer trial and such
poignant wo can scarcely admit of alleviation.-
To be cautious in forming connections is only COM
mon prudence; to be firm in maintaining them,
when once formed, is duty in which you cannot
be deficient without suffering as much as you in
Aict Sudden attachments always indscreet,
and often fatal. Try those in whom you wish to re-
pose trust with the incest regard to their real and
not their specious qualities. Found every affection
of the mind principle. Let not beauty pass tor
merit, the affected smile of complacency for good
| humour, nor levity for wit. Never give way to
injurious opinions against any one, without the full
| est conviction that they deserved; but above
ALL take care never form oopartia an opinion, till
you have had an opportunity of ascerainng its pro-
priety. Young persons apt to imagine, that the
convivial companion. whose professions OF regard
rise with the absence of his reason, is firmly to be
relied on-and that the partaker in folly will be the
CONSIDER of distress Delusive expectations True
friendship must be grated on virtuous pursuits, and
! cemented by rational endearments. A similarity
in vicious taste will form no lasting tie it cannot
bear the test Of reflection. Thought will teach to
despise, or make you despsed if your union is that
of infamy on the contrary, congenia disposition
for what is laudable will recprocally endear. Suc<

Is it the breeze on Leven's lake,
That flies Ger its waters and strs the brake
Or it the glance of yon midnight beam,
That fits DER the face of the island stream
The anxious eye of Scotland's queen
Was bent on the silent deep,
Nor boat nor Douglass could be seen,
And Mary turn'd to weep.
AS lonely to her harp she bends,
The silent tear of anguish flows,
And thus to Scota's cadence wild
The lovely captive sung her woes
Oh Leven lonely is thine isle,
And dismal are thy mould'ring tow'rs,
Where Mary's held in durance vile
i
And damp and dreary are these walls,
Thro' which the chilling breezes blow;
Where gloomy echo but recalls
The plaintive strains of Mary's woe.
How free the Highland eag!c wings
Ben Nevis up thy craggy side,
The bouncing red deer feetly springs
The ptarmegan, with lofty sweep,
Scars from the bosom of Loeb Doyle;
But Scotland's queen is left to weep,
captive in Loeb Leven's isle.
Without friend to take my part,
Since Douglass plighted faith is gone:
With ruin'd hopes and broken heart,
He leaves me here to weep alone.
THE ESCAPE.
Now rapid DER the midnight tide,
With silent speed boat did glide;
And, bold in conscious love and truth,
Before her stood the gallant youth.
ooh Mary, dearest, now is the hour,
To fly from my cruel fathers power
Oh fly to the boat, and my faithful rowers
Will carry thee far from these gloomy tow'rs.
He caught her in his faithful arms,
And gently hush'd her wild alarms.
His heart beat high as he wildly prest
The lovely queen to his painting breast
He seiz'd the keys of the castle gate,
And dash'd them deep in the silent lake.
"Now thou art safe," he softly said,
And wrapt her in his Highland plaid
"Now stretch, my clansman, for the Shore
He cried, and drew his bright claymore.
And now the boat has reach'd the strand,
The gallant Douglass springs to land
And now they Sneed their rand 1ight.
