For if he don't doubt if men will longer
think l hear little bird that sings
The people bye aud bye will be the stronger:
The vericst jade will vince. whose harness wrings
so much int" the raw as quite to wrong her
Beyond the rules of posting,-and the mob
At last fall sick of Initiating Job.
At first it grunbes, then it sweafs, and then,
Like David, filings smooth pebbles 'gainst giant;
AT last It takes TO weapons, such men
Snatch when despair makes human hearts less

Then comes tho tug of war;--'t will come again

All poets less prophets; and the
naughty bad of Newstead had not less the gift and
power OF forctellng events than the majority of his
moro orthodox brethren. There is many syblne
leaf among those which Scott says he flung off as
carciessly as a uxuranttree shakes its foliage to
the passing breeze. An able contributor TO the
last number of the New England Magazine, quotes
the above passage opposite to some sensible and
well written remarks he makes upon the present
state of Europe. He thinks with many others
tha; the time is already at hand when the remark

fieoin on CosS0que." And tffc reflection gave rise
to train of observations which show the writer
to be a vigorous thinker upon a trite subject. In
England, where, he hints, that his opportunities
Tor observation have been peculiar and extensive
and from winch country he appears recently to
have returned, he finds with all the elements of
discord few countcrvailiug causes which may
rescue that nation from the fate which he believes
20 'mpend over her. The following extract en-
braces facts which we do not recollect to have
seen stated before:
'There is in England and in Ireland an immense
class, whom physical suffering and moral Aegrada-
ton have rendered caous to every call but that of
interest reckless of every restraint bat that of
fear 10 address the reason, to appeal to the 10y
atty of these men, would be 30 reason with the
raging whirlwind, TO talk to the hssng adder; the
patriot and the prudent man ppheeded, while
the demagogue and the agitator who appeal to the
passions, are answered with the LAUNDERING huxza
