We have filed our columns with an extract
from Henr, Naele's Romance Of History, which
has been reprinted by Messrs Carey, Lea &
Carey. II is stated IN the Preface that the
Tales are all founded upon facts in English
his,ory,---that no important event has been
falsiSed, and that the author endeavoured to be
true 10 the spirit and manners OF the age in
which the scene Of each story is laid. We
have our doubts respecting the pro2rie'y OF
treating genuine annals in this manner, which
confounds the real occurrences with the addi>
lions of the authors invention, coloured by his
fancy; bu, histories al romance is The favourite
repas, Of the time, and there may be foundation
for Mr.. Neale's idea that his work would lead
10 a more general perussl of English history,
especially TO the racy productions OF The ancient
anpalists and chroniclers, such as FroisSsart, de
Confines, sc. However this may be, these two
volumes ars unquestiohahly both entertaining
and Instructive; Neale was a tue poet aud
GOOD prose writer. His suicide was doub'y
deplorable, because il deprived the world Of
precious gifts which might have been expected

A NOON SCENE.

A PRIZE POEM, BY W. C. BRYANT.
The quiet August noon is come,
A slumberous silence fills the sky,
The fields are still, the woods are dumb,
In CLASSY sleep the waters lie.
And mark yon soft white clouds, that rest
Above our vale, moveless throng;
The cattle on the mountains breast,
Enjoy the grateful shadow long.
Oh, how unlike those merry hours
In sunny June, when earth laughs out,
When the fresh winds make love to flowers,
And woodlands sing and waters shout.
When in the grass sweet voices talk,
And strains of tiny musick swell
From every moss-cup of the rock,
From every nameless blossoms bell.
But now, JOY too deep for sound,
A peace no other season knows,
Hushes the heavens, and wraps the ground
The blessing of supreme repose.
Away will not be to-day,
The only slave of toll and care
Away from desk and dust away
III be as idle as the air.
Beneath the open sky abroad,
Among the plants and breathing things,
The sinless, peaceful works of God,
I'll share the calm the season brings.
Come then, in whose soft eyes l see
The gentle meaning Of the heart,
One day amid the woods with thes,
From men and all their cares apart.
And where upon the meadows breast,
The shadow ofthe thicket lies,
The blue wild flowers thou gatherest
Shall glow yet deeper near thine eyes.
Come-and when amid the calm profound
turn, those gentle eyes to seek,
They, like the lovely landscape round,
Ofinnocence and peace shall speak.
Rest here, beneath the unmoving shade,
And on the silent vallies gaze,
Winding and widening till they fade
In yon soft ring of summer haze.
The village trees their SUBMITS rear
Still as its spire, and yonder flock
At rest in those calm fields, appear
AS chisseled from the lifeless rock.
One tranquil mount the scene o'erlooks,
Where the hushed winds their sabbath keer
While near hum from bees and brooks,
Comes family like the breath of sleep.
Well might the gazer deem, that when,
Worn with the struggle and the strife,
And heart-sick at the wrongs of men,
The good forsake the scenes of life.
Like this deep quiet, that awhile
Lingers the lovely landscape DER,
Shall be the peace whose holy smile
Welcomes him to happier shore.
