discover that the article on that subject is the pro-
ducton ola base and malignant heart-wrthng un-
der the consciousness of its corruption, and en-
vious Of the fame and worth of others. The same
writer, zrhom happen 10 kaow, has heretofore
commended the same poems in the very highest
terms The reader will then naturally inquire, why
this Inconsistency? The true answer is, MIR. g. has
been the benefactor of the mangIer, who is incapa-
BILE of an emotion of gratitude, or of an honorable
exercise Of judgment.
We have heard of human beings who had become
callous to every nober feelns-whose pleasure
seemed to be derived entirely from the wounds
which they could inhlct upon the sensbillties of
generous and atfectonate hearts. Such charac-
ter is the author of the review of which we have
spoken. I.aboring under the vain concet that he
is possessed of genius Of the highest order, this
ooncet has bsnished every kindly sentiment; and
he detracts from the merit of others, in order to
show off his Casting aside the food for egiti.

But the scene changed, and | saw a man
whom the world called honorable and many
waited for his smiles. They pointed out the

TIIr.. NIGHTINGALE.

In tie gardens of the Dilyusha in Shiraz
IN Persia. nlghtingales are said to abound.
which not only sing during the night, but
whose plaintive melody is not by day srs-
pended in the East as it is in our colder re-
gion-and it is said that several of those
birds have expired while contendinr with
musicians in the loudness or variety Of their
notes. 1t has indeed been known. accord
ing to Pl.ny, that in vocal trials among
nIghhng&!es the vanqushed bird terminated
it, song only with its life.
An intelligent Persian, who repeated this
story again and again, and permitted me to
write 1t down irom his lips, declared that he
had more than once been present when a
celebrated lutanist, Mira Mohammed, sir
named Batab, was playing to a large com
pany, in grove near Shraz, where he dis
tlnctly saw the nghtingales trying to vie
with the MISUNDERSTANDING warbine on
the trees, sometimes fluttering from branch
to branch as if they wished to approach the
instrument whence the melody proceeded,
and at length dropping on the ground in a
KIND of ecstasy, from which he assured me
they were soon raised BY a change in the
mode. Aud in one Of Stradal's Academi-
cal Proluslons, We find a most beautiful
poem, which tends to confirm the Persian
report-tor 1t supposes spirit of emulation
so powerful in the nightingale, that having
strained her little throat, vainIy endeavor-
ing to excel the musician, she breathes out
her life in one last effort. and drops upon
the instrument which had contributed to
her defeat, l SirOusetey's Travels IN Persia.

Magazine, several large manufactures have been es-
tablished for tile purpose. 1t is calculated that nine
ty thousand ounces were prepared last year, which,
allowing that thirtysix grains administered to
every sick person 10 whom it was prescribed, would
more than suffice for million, four hundred Il for
ty thousand patients. 1t is hardly probable that it
