SWIFT AND POPE.

From Sir Walter Scott's Life of Dean Swift,
We copy the extract, which will be found be-
low, and in doing SO, it cannot bo improper TO
recommend it to the attentive perusal of the
literary man, and the aspirant for literary fame:
"Among the friends Of Swift, Pope, al
though not by any means the earliest, appears
gradually to have become the most intimate.
The Dean resided chiefly in his house at
Twickenham, and an acquaintance which had
began in Queen Annc's reign, between the
protected poet and the patron, gradually rip
ened into intimate and equal friendship. Their
characters were in some respects opposite, but
these very points of opposition were such as
removed the possibility Of rivalry.
Popc's character and habits were exclusive
ly literary, with all the hopes, fears and fail
ings, which arc attached 10 that teverish oc-
cupation,- "a restless pursuit Of poctical fame.
Without domestic society, or near relations;
separated by weak health and personal disad-
vantages from the gay;- by fineness Of mind
and lettered incidence, from the busy part of
mankind; surrounded only by few friends,
who value these gifts in which he excelled,
Pope's whole hopes, wishes and fears were
centred in his literary reputation. To extend
his fame, he laboured indirectly, az well as di-
recty; and to defend it from the slightest at
tack, was his daily and nightly anxiety
Hence the restless impatience which that dis
tinguished author displayed under the libelS of
ounces, whom he ought to have despiscd. and
hence too the vcnomod severity with which he
rctortod their puny attacks. Swift also was
irritable and satrical, but from different caus-
es. He never assumed, and probably disdain-
cd the character of mere man OF letters,
whose suilcrings or onjoyments depended upon
tho public reception of his works. His writ
ings he only valued in so far as they accom-
pishcd the purpose for which they were writ
ten, and so far from seeking the reputation
which they might have attracted to the author,
that he almost in every instance sent them in
10 the world without his name Hence he felt
no jealousy of contemporary authors, and was
Indifferent 10 the criticism with which his irca-
tiso were assailcd unless ip so far as i Affect
cd the argument WHICH they were designed TO
supoor, Bred under Temple, the iavouri'e of
Oxford and now the patriotic champion ofIre-
land, his hopes aud fears were for tho political

TALENTS. 1t is fortunate for the human
family, that talents unlike real estate in Eng
land, are rot acquired by inheritance, and that
long line of families, cannot monopolize the
genius Of the world. The design Of vending
matters in this way, was ordained by the ruler
Of the Universe, and by his wise purposes, gen.
ius, has been equally impaired to mankind;
and distributed in a manner, which cuts offmo-
nopoly. Governed by this principal, Mr.. JEFF
ferson, at the time we were forming system
Of government for the Republic, wisely put an
end to entails, and thus deprived those who
are arstocratically disposed, of the means
Of carrying their wishes into execution. But
we are wandering from the subject, and in re-
turning to it, shall simply add, that it is not Of
ten the case, that the genius ofthe sire, is in
herited by the offspring. Sir Walter Scott's his
tory, however, furnishes q contradiction 10 this
hypothesis; as the reader will readily perceive
by perusng the following extract.
"Talents, luckily for the world, do not pass,
like estates, by hereditary descent. There are
however, some instances in which the son has
inherited the genius of the parent. Sir Walter
Scott affords one of these instances. His
mother was a woman Of elegant taste, and of
very superior intellect. She was the daughter
Of David Rutherford, Esq. counsellor Of Ed
inburg, whose country residence was an ancient
mansion IN that neighbourhood, called Hermis-
ton Hail. Miss Rutherford was born in the
Scottish capital, in 1929. At an early age she
was taught the Latin and French languages,
and became proticientin many branches Of the
Bellies Lettres. Her prediction for poetry
was manifested almost from the dawn of her
| existence. Allan Ramsay was her first guide
in her poetical studies, and some of her verses
| were written when she was only in her eleventh
year. Among the number Of her correspon-
dents, was Blackjack, the blind bard, who al
ways spoke of her as d woman of superior
powers. At latter time she was also the
friend and correspondent of Burns. Her men,
| tai endowments were rvaled by her personal
attractions. But neither powers nor beauty
could could prevent her youth from being
overcast by the gloom Of sorrow. The object
of her first affection is said to have been an
Irish gentleman of dstin ction, with whom she
had consented to pass the remainder OF her
days; but ne was unfortunately drowned in his
passage from Edinburgh to Ireland. This was
a source Of bitter anguish to her, and it was
long before she recovered her tranquility. At
rather an advanced period, she married Mr..
Walter Scott, gentleman of considerable
property in the vicinity Of the Scottish mctrop-
oils. She died in the year 1889, in the Goth
year. OF her age"

which he has acted, and still acts in the at
fairs Of England and of the world. Z,
But il is not only by his political acts that he
has distinguished himself Mr. Canning"
says Lord Byron, is genius, almost an uni
versal one, he is an'orator, a wit, poet, and
a statesman -
The style Of his Parli Isentnry eloquence is
much admired: but critics 81 severe taste <e-
proach him with an elcga Zee little too state
ly, and an immoderate use of ornament bor-
rowed from the classics.-When young man,
in I7S6, he took part in the publication Of
the Microcosm, a periodical Journal, which
was published at Eton. The articles prepar-
ed by him were remarked for vigor of thought
and briliancy Of style sometimes overchsrg-
ed with ornament and crudition. Many otherof
his writings and particularly the two letters ad-
dressed TO Lord Camden, in Justification of his
conduct towsrds.Lord Castlereagh, place him
in the rank Of the best pubiicistes.
As poet, Mr.. Canning, has'exercised his
powers with success, in lyric composition.
The lettered English know by heart his beau
tiful Ode on the mistortunes Of Greece; one
of his youthful productions. 1t is to be la
mcnted, that the generous sentiments Of the
poet are not reproduced with an equal energy
in the manfestos ofthe statesman"
