There's love within mother's breast, So deep, 'tis still o'erfowing, And care for those she calls her own, That's ever, ever growing. There's anguish in mothers tear,
 When farewell fondly taking, That so the heart of pity moves,
 It scarcely keeps from breaking. And when mother kneels 10 Heaven, And for her child is praying. 9, who shall half the fer1our tell
 That burns in all she's sayingl A mother! how her tender arts

Ihe Siaf1aeSe seisas.-IFh lie volume of poetry, with this title, has recently ap-
 peared; the production of the talented
 author of Pelham; and, what is q rare
 thing for a volume of poetry, now a-days, ve have read it through with unyarying interest. The plot, for there is plot, $ q sufficient complication, ,and the work 5s filled with passages of great power, both in descriptions of natural scenery and human feelings. Chang and Ching, the twins, are beings of very opposite characters, the former of deep and mo- rose feelings at times, the latter, gay and laughing good natured fellow Chang is made 10 fail in love in England, and to become, causelessly however, jealous of his brother. the bone of his bone, and flesh ofhis flesh. This gives to the author opportunities of exhibiting aanaaa passion in a novel and appalling situation. aud his delineations are those of a migician's hand. His descriptions of female beauty and character are fasci- hating and elevated ;indecd, throughout the whole work, there is prevailing tone of high and aspiring thought, fully sustained by the vein of rich and elo- auentpoetry in which it appears. The siamese twins, however, are not exactly. in their real history, those who are now before the public. They furnished the idea Of the poem, and we expect that is all; for. according 10 the latest accounts, we understand that Chang has not cut that avulgar fellow Ching" as the author makes lady patroness at Almaok's in sist on, and which is the catastrophe of the present work. Much humor and satire run through the volume. and the style changes from the loftiest strains to
