THE NAVY.

A little volume executed in that beau
tiiul style Of typography and binding
which has already given much deserved
reputation to the imprint Of George Dear
born, has been lying unnoticed on our
table for week or two past. 1t is enti-
tied, Popular Essays on Naval Subjects,
and is from the pen Of the author Of one
Of the most agreeable books Of travels
that has been added to English litera-
ture in a great while--the "Year in
Spain, by young American" That
young American is a naval officer, who
shows in the present little work, that he
is not less qualified to explain the princi-
pal topics Of his profession in an attract
i've and graceful manner, than he had
before proved himself to portray, with
singular fidelity, vividness, and graphic
power, the habits, customs, opinions, and
every day life Of a people, whose char
acter, institutions, and history are all
deeply tinged with romance. The three
topics Of these naval essays are, ships,
navigation, and naval war; and these
themes, commonly made repulsive to
young students by being SYSTEMATICALLY y
encumbered with mass Of dry and diff
cult learning, are SO treated by him, that
he who begins the book will read it
through as pleasure, not persevere to
the end merely from a sense Of duty.
The graces Of style and the charm Of apt
classical allusion have been employed to
give attractiveness to subjects hitherto
expounded with elaborate dulncss. The
young officer who reads this book will
not find himself cat the turning Of the
first page inextricably involved in the
mazes Of algebraical questions" bu,
caPtivated by narrative which, while il
make the leading topics of his profession
perfectly ineligible, cannot but open to
him new and nobler views Of the dignity
and importance Of the service in which
he has entered. We quote below pas.

GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE.
DY MRS. HOLLAND.
There is no attribute, or quality so uni.
versaly laid claim to as that OF good
hearted People, the most opposite in tenn
per, conduct, principles, and professions,
alike appropriate, this underlined )perhaps
undcfinable) characteristic, and what is
much more singular, the world admits
their claims, and is perpetually found n
greeing to the good heaItedness Of those
very persons by whom numerous classes
in society are continually suffering. Ad-
olson says, "that when passionate per-
sons are called good natured it only ar
CUES the good nature of those who de-
signatc Them" s. surely the same obser-
vat'on will apply to those on whom ser-
Gus misiortunes have been brough by the
extravaganza or though.less prodigality
OF their good hearted connections; and
others to whom daily trials are given in
the passionate ebuIlitions, parsimonious
restrictions, and pecvish petulance o,
those who afe termed "good hearted
people at the bottom"
Kindness, like charity, "covers a mul
titude of SINS" it is indeed the milk an
honey of domestic Intercourse and wei
may those who sojourn in this "vae q
tears" hold it as the sweetest susie
nance Of life, aud give higher credit &
those who dispense its blessings, than T.
the severe moralist who neglects them.
We can readily y Conceive that tender
ness and generosity are irresis:ibly ut
trnctive in their operation, and naturall
entitlc Their posscssor to the claim Of hav
ing a good heart, for such a one will uu
questionably be very dear to all aroun
him. But yet If this very amiable ma
dissipates the property il was his dut
and virtually his promise) to protect an

There is better home above,
Where we with Him shall meet.

RACHEL'S TOMB.

J "The spot is as wild as can well be con
ceieed. No expresses give their shelter from
the blast--uot single tree spreads lis shade
where the ashes of the beautiful Mother of
Israel rests. [Carnes Travels in Judea.
Hush! lis tie last lone resting place
Where Rachel sleeps a dream;ess sleep;
Let silence DER the sacred spot
Her sternest yigiis keep:
No bainJy flowers, in dcwy bloom,
Nor cypress shadow wells ner tomb.
Here solitude has laid the couch,
OF bis all silent holy rest,
The dirge OF the high winds Of Heaven
Alone rolls DER her breast
Even here the ever gbastly King
Has spread his dark terrific wing!
The sweet. the loved. the beautiful,
Whose heart was gentle as the dove,
Whose placid smile was calm as heaven,
Whose radiant eyes were love,
Here rests 10 tranquil slamber now,
And "daskness sits upon her brow!"
No lofty coiuns is upreared,
la honor Of the vclceless dead:
No drapery Of funeral ponp,
May shroud her clay cold head:
Yet in the heart her name is set,
And deep affection knows her yeti
Tho mother DER her oifspring's tomb,
Shall lit her streaming eyes to heaven,
And think Of her whose trusting heart
By cea. eess grief was riveu;
And in her burning bosom bless
The memory of "The Comfortless"
Sic on, thou sweet one-calmiy sleep!
Unbroken noiseless rest be thine!
Yet for the glowing realms of bliss,
Thy spirit, all divine
And pure and spotless as at first,
The letters of the grave shall burst

The .Masque Of anarchy.-A poem under
mis- title, written by the late Percy Bysshe
Shelley, comprising ninenty- one stanZas. ne
yer before published, has lately appeared in
England, with a preface by Leigh Hunt
Shelley was an inlidel, but ne was as true a
meet as has ever breathed in.Eqgland. The
poem Just mentioned is said Ivy the Metropo-
Titan TO embody poetry Of rare beauty and
strength: having indignation not unwarran'ed;
and that spirit Of truth and justice, without
which the one and the other are "empty,
void and waste" The following stanZas are
conceptions equally original and striking
The first is Anarchy: ~. Y. Cunt
last came Anarchy: he rode
On white horse splashed with blood,
He was pale e'en TO the lips,
Like Death in the Apocalypse.
And he wore kingly crown;
And 10 his grasp sccptre shone;
And on his brow this niaIk saw,
q am God, and King, and Law
We recommend the preceding lines TO the
attention Of The Nuifers-and also the fol.
lowing, which are spirited; aud changing the
word England in the second verse,--or pes
haps altering The line in which it occurs to-
The laws of this fair Gaion--they,.--
IL would then be well put as connected with
the present circumstances of our own coun-
try
"Let the laws Of your own land,
Good or i'll, between ye stand;
Hand to hand, ap,s foot TO loot,
htbIters Of the dispute.
SHE old laws Of England they
Whose reverend heads with age ale grey,
Children Of wiser daj;
Ard whose solemn voice must be
Thine own echo-~Liberty,
e'On those who FIRST should violate,
Such sacred heralis in their state,
Rest the blood that must ensue,
And it will not rest on you!
"And if then the tyrapts dare,
Let them ride among You there,
Slash and stab, and main and hew:
What they like, that let them do.''
The annexed personifcation OF Fraud, is
equally happy and powerful, with tina, OF
Anarchy which precedes il in the POEM
"Next came Fraud, and he had on,
Like Lord Els an ermin'd gown,
His big tears, for he wept well.
Tuind to mill stones as they fell.
"hnd the little children, tro
Round his feet play'd to and fro,
Thinking every tear gem,
Had their brains knock'd out by them"
