How sharper than serpeni's tooth Il is,
To have tlankless child"-Shakspeae
Monarch!-there's paleuess on thy brow.
Hath sickness blanch'd thy cheek
A pang doth set its seal cen now,
Which language fails to speak -
The crown CLEANS radiant on thy head,
Thy royal robes are gay,
Far realms behold thy might with dread.
And Albion lauds thy sway.
Thou valiant, wise and glorious king,
What demon blasts thy days y
What woe hath power breast to wiring
Which pride and envy praise a.
Iquestion'd long, ere word or tone
From that stern lip did part,
AT length there rose a hollow moan,-
Z" Go,-Gsk a fathers heart"
What!-are thy princely sons laid low
In honor's scutcheon' d bed?
And therefore do thy sorrows flow
To wall the early dead?''
"No.-No.-The spoilers wrath may seal
Bright youthful eyes in sleep,
And yet the sire submissive kneel
Before his God and weep:
But when the hearts our love has hurst
With fond and sleepless care,
Do weave in treachery accurst
Rebellion's hateful snare,
A venom'd wound which mocks at speech
The parents soul must feel
a pang which Death forbears to teach.
And Time despairs to heal"

PATENT BROWN STOUT.

A BREWER in a country town
Had got monstrous regulations;
No other beer but his went down,
The hosts of the surrounding station
Carving his name upon their mugs,
And painting it on every shutter;
And though some envious folks would utter
Hints, that its flavor came from drugs,
Others mainland twas no such matter,
But owing to his monstrous vat,
At least as corpulent as that
At Heidelberg-and some said fatter.
His foreman was lusty black,
An honest fellow;
But one who had an ugly knack
0ftasting samples as he brew'd,
Till he was stupefed and mellow.
One day in this top-heavy mood,
Having to cross the vat aforesaid,
(Just then with boiling beer supplied,)
O'ercome with giddness and qualms, he
Reel'd-fell inland nothing more said,
But in his favourite liquor died,
Like Clarence in his butt of Malmsey.
In all directions round about
The negro absentee was sought,
But as no human noddle thought
That our fat black was now brown stout,
They settled that the rogue had left
ne place lOr deDt, or crime, or theft.
Meanwhile the beer was day by day
Drawn into casks and sent away,
Until the lees fow'd thick and thicker;
When, 10! outstretch'd upon the ground,
Once more their missing friend they found,
As they had often done-in liquor.
See cried his moralizing master,
always knew the fellow drank hard,
And prophesied some sad disaster;
His fate should other tipper's strike:
Poor Mungo! there he welters, like
toast at bottom of tankard!
Next morn publican, whose tap
Had help'd TO drain the vat so dry,
Not having heard of the mishap,
Came 10 demand fresh supply,
Protesting loudly that the last =
All previous specimens surpassed,
Possessing much. richer gusto
Than formerly it ever used to,
And begging as a special favor,
Some more of the exact same flavor
POUNDS! cried the brewer, that's task
More difficult to grant than ask:
Most gladly would give the smack
Of the last beer to the ensuing,
But where am to find black,
And boil him down at every brewing

SONG.
Come hand to band before we part,
And though too soon they sever,
Yet fear il not for heart to heart
Will cling and cling forever:
Though half the earth
Should intervene,
And all its worth
Should steal between.
THEY'LL never, never snap the chord
Which binds thy soul to mine;
For aye, as in this hour adored,
My thoughts shall all be thine.
We've loved too long, and loved too we'll
To break the heart-chan now;
And here print the signet spell
Upon thy snowy brow.
And never may
The stranger dare
To steal away
Its impress there.
Though other ties we soon may sever,
And other friends be all forgot
May blghted hopes be mine forever,
When can live and love thee not.

It is impossible to take a near view of
human suffering, even in its ordinary forms,
without feeling how much fiction owes to
truth. Imagination may busy itself with
descriptions of some wide sweeping desc
lation, in which are buried families and
names; it may conjure up scenes to shock,
by the extent of their misery, or disgus.,
by the depravity Of their actors. But truth
descends into the human heart, and gath
ers It's knowledge from the sources of sf
fection; where some are dried up by the
ingra,itude of man, and many overflow to
