wished to effect what it was his duty to eject,
the thing to which he was called thence the
conference and perpetuity of his work. This
man, who strikes us little, because he is confn-
ed within Just and natural proportions, has con-
founded his existence with that of his country
his glory is the common patrimohy,f increass
ing civilization; his fame rises like one ofthose
sanctuaries whence flows anj ,inexhaustable
fountain for the people.
" Bonaparte might equally have enriched the
public domain: he had to do with nation the
most civilized, the most intelligent, the bravest
and most brilliant of the earth. What would
have been the rank occupied by him in the uni
verse had he blended magnanimity with COM
mon heroism, and, like Washington, appointed
liberty the heir of his glory
But this Unreasonable colossus did not com
pletely entwine his destinies with those of his
contemporaries his genius belonged to mod
ern times; his ambition to days of yore; he
did not perceive that the prodigies of his life
surpassed by far the value of diadem, and that
this gothic ornament became him ILL., Some
times he advanced step with the age soine-
times he refrigerated towards the past; and
whether he assembled or followed the course of
time, by ais prodigious power, he hurried along
with him or repealed its waves. Men, in his
eyes, were nothing but the means of donin-
ion no sympathy existed between their happi-
ness and his. He promised to deliver them,
and he enchanted them instead he insulated
himself from them they separated themselves
from him. The kings of Egypt constructed
their funeral pyramids, not among fiourishing
fields, but in the midst of sterile sands. These
vast tombs rise like eternity in solitude. 1t is
thus that Bonaparte has erected the monuments
of his fame"

ELEGY ON A QUID OF TOBACCO.

3 Wv n 0C1D We JObACCO.
It lay before me, on the close graz'd grass,
Beside yon path, an old Tobacco Quid;
And shall let the mute adviser pass
Without one serious thought No, Heaven
forbid
Perhaps some idle drunkard threw thee there,
Some husband, spendthrift of his weekly hire
One who for wife and children takes no care,
But sits and tipples by the ale-house fire.
All luckless was the day he learnt to chew!
Embryo of i'll, the Quid that pleased him first
Thirsty from the unhappy Quid he grew,
Then to the ale-house went to quench his thirst
So great events from causes small arise
The forest oak was once an acorn seed
And many wretch from drunkenness who dies
Owes all his evils to the Indian weed.
Let no temptation, mortal, ere come nigh
Suspect some ambush in the parley hid
From the first kiss of love, ye maidens Ay
Ye youths avoid the first Tobacco Quid
Perhaps | wrong thee, o thou vet'r chaw,
And better thoughts my musings should en-
gage,
That thou vert rounded in some toothless Jaw,
The Joy, perhaps, of solitary age.
One who has suffer'd fortunes hardest knocks,
Ioor' and with none to tend on his gray hairs,
Yet has friend in bis tobacco box
And whilst be rolls his Guild, forgets his cares.
Ev'n SO it is with human happiness
Each seeks his own according to his whim:
This tolls for wealth, one fame alone can bless,
One asks Quid-a Quid is all to him.
Q vet'ran chaw thy fbres, savoury strong,
Whilst aught remand to chew, thy master
cbew'd;
Then cast thee here when all thy Juice was
gone,
Emblem of selfish mans ingratitude!
A happy man, o cast off Quid, is he,
Who like as thou hast comforted the poor:
Happy his age who knows himself like thee
Thou did'st thy duty-Man can do no more.
