TOO MANY LOVERS.

When heart is contented with one little Love,
No pleasures, no follies, can tempt him to rove,
In storm and in sunshine that one love will live,
Outweghing all else that the wide world can give.
But when one little heart f1rts with too many loves
Each cupid wild little wanderer proves:
His smile has charm, his resentment no sting,
And his faith is more light than butterhy's wing.
When too many loves sport in beauty's fair bowers,
They scatter the blossom of too many flowers;
They revel mid roses al! day, but they leave
No fragrance, no blossom, to refresh them at eve;
But when beauty admits only one little guest,
He flies to one rose never needing the rest,
That one rose may wither, yet sweet to the last
Twill serve for his pillow. when summer is past,
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1826-10-07
POETRY.
THE CARRIER PIGEON.

Come hither thou beautiful rover,
Thou wand'rer of earth and of air,
Who Dearest the signs of lover,
And bringest him news Of his fair
Bend hither thy light waving pinlon,
And shew me the gloss Of thy neck
o perch on my hand, dearest minion,
And turn up thy bright eye and peck.
Here is bread of the whitest and sweetest,
And there is a sip of red wine;
Tho thy wing is the lghtest and f1eetest,
Twill be f1eeter when nerv'd by the vine.
I have written on rose-scented paper,
With thy quill soft billet-doux,
l have melted the wax in loves taper,
lis the color of true hearts, sky blue
l have fasten'd il under thy pinion,
With blue ribbon round thy soft neck,
So go from me, beautiful minion,
While the pure ether shows not speck.
Like cloud in the dim distance fleeing,
Like an arrow he hurries away,
And farther and farther retreating,
He is lost in the clear blue of day.

The PARTLCOLOURED SHIELD.

the Goddess OF victory, IN a point where lolf
loads met together In her right hand she held
a spear, and rested her left upon shield; the
outside Of this shield was of gold and the inside
of silrer, and on the former was inscribed in the
old British language; 90 To the Goddess erer fa-
ro,uaJle," and on the other, j." For four cicto,ies

taLttmtts of The northern isiand'
1t happened one day that two knights com
plctcly armed, one in black the other in arhite,
arrived from opposite parts of the country to
this statue, just about the same time, and as
neither of them had seen it before, they stopped
TO read the inscription, and observe the excel
lency Of the workmanship After contemplat
ing it for some time, The golden shield" says
the black knight, Golden Shield :" cried the
white knight, (who was strictly observing the
opposite side) "why, if have my eyes, it is
silver" a know nothing of your eyes" re-
piled the black knight, 81 but if everI saw q
golden shield in my life, this is one" "Yes,"
returned the white light, smiling, g indeed,
that they should expose shield Of gold in
public place as this; foi my part, wonder
even silver one is not too strong a temptation
Tor the devotion of some people that pass this
way and it appears by the date that this has
been here above three years" The black
Knight could not bear the smile with which this
was delivered, they grew sowarm in the dispute,
that il soon ended in a challenge they both
therefore turned their horses, rode back far as

heir spears in their rests, and flew at each other
with the greatest fury and impetuoslty Their
shock was SO rude, and the blows on each side
30 effectual that they both fell TO the ground,
much wounded and bruised, and lay there for
some time as in trance. A good druid, who
was travelling that way, found them in this con-
dition. The druids were the physicians Of those
times as well as priests. He had a sovereign
balsam about him he had composed himself, for
he was very skllful in all the plants that grew in
the field or in the forest; he staunchcd their
blood, applied his balsam to their wounds, and
brought them as itwere from death to life again.
As soon as they were sufficiently recovered, he
began to inquire into the occasion OF their quar-
rel rs Why this man." said the black knight,
"will have it, that the shield yonder is silver"
" And he viii have ii" replied the white knight,

CASABIANCA.*
BIZ MRs. HEMANs.

Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
AS born to rule the storm;
A creature of heroic blood,
A proud, though child-like form
The flames rolled on-he would not GO,
Without his fathers word
The father faint in death below, g..
His voice no longer heard
He called aloud essay, Father, say,
If yet my task is done ~
He knew not that the chieftan Law
Unconscious of his son.
''Speak, Father % once again be cr:ed,
81 If may yet begone -
And-but the booming shot replied
And fast the flames rolled on.
Upon his brow he felt their breath,
And in his waving hair,
And looked from that lone post OF dealt.
In still, yet brave despair.
And shouted but once more aloud,
"My Father must stay }"
While DER him fast, through sail and shtou
The wreathing fires made way.
They wrapt the ship in splendor wild,
They caught the flag on high,
And streamed above the gallant child,
Like banners in the sky.
There came a burst of thunder sound
The boy-oh where was he
Ask of the winds, that far around
With fragments streWed the sea
With mast and helm, and pennon fair,
That well had borne their part
But the noblest thing which persisted tIt:c
Was that young faithful heart
young Casabanca, a boy about thirteen years
old, to the Admiral Of the Orient, remained al
his post, Tin the battle Of the Nle) after the ship
had taken fire, and all the guns had been abandon
ed, and persisted in the explosion of the vessel,
when the flames had reached the powder.
The following beautiful lines on Henry Kirk
White, who was an early victim of the enthusiasm
of study, are among the earlier, and the happiest
of Lord Byron's illusions The leading idea in
the metaphor is not new, but its management, and
the appropriateness of its Introduction, and the
strength combined with sweetness of vcrsihcaton,
entltle it to rank among the most select specimens
of English poetry.
"'Twas thine own genius gave the fatal blow,
And help'd to plant the wound that laid thee low
$50 the struck eagle, stretcnd upon the plain,
" No more through rolling clouds to soar again,
"Eiewed his own feather on the fatal dart,
z" And winged the shaft that quvered in bis heart
"keen were his pangs, but hecncr far to feel
"He nursed the pnion which nnpcllcti III" steel
"Nmle the same plumage that had warmed his
nest,
"Drank the last life drop of his bleeding breast
How sWeetiy on yon tranquil stream,

Which back reflects the saffron BEAM

Uorth makes the .Na,a-Themistocles after
all the honour of his life, sits down with this
conclusion, /" that the way to the grave is more
desirable than the way to worldly honour"
His daughter being courted by one Of little
wit and great wealth, and another of little
wealth, and great goodness, he chose the poor
man for his son in law. For, saith he, will ra-
Their have man without money, than money
without man, reckoning that not money, but
worth makes the man. Being told by Symma-
chus, that he would teach him the art of memo
ry, he gravely answered he had rather learn the
art Of forgetiulness; adding, he could remem-
Der enough, but many things he could not for
get, which were necessary to be forgotten; as
the honours, glories, pleasures, and conquests
he had spent his days i'll, were too apt to trans
port him to vain glory
