sTANZAs TO AN OLD FRIEND.

STANZAS TO AN OLD FRIEND.
Come, here's health to thee and thine!
Trust me, whate'er we may be told,
Few things are better than old wine,
When tasted with friend that's old.
We're happy yet: and in our track
New pleasures if we may not find;
There is q charm in looking back
On sunny prospects lett behind.
Like that famed hill in western CLINE,
Through gaudy noonlde dark and bare'
That tnges still, at vesper time,
With purple CLEAN the evening air;
So there's Joy in former days,
In times, and scenes, and thoughts gone BY
As beautiful their heads they rise,
Bright in Imagination's sky:
Times glass is fil'd with varied sand,
Will. fieetiug Joy and transient grief;
We'll turn, and with no sparing hand,
Ger many strange fantastic leaf;
And fear not-but mid many a blot,
There are some pages writ en- fair,
And flowers that time can wltfer not,
Preserved, still family fragrant, there.
As the husf'd night glfdes gentlier on.
Our music shall break forth its strain,
And tell of pleasures that are gone,
And heighten those that yet remain;
And that creative breath divine
Shall wakrn many siumberinS ufiu'
And call forth many mystic line
Jf faded joys remembered still.
Again, the moments shall she bring,
When youth wns in his freshest prime;
Wen pluck the roses that shall spring
Upon the grave of buried Time.
There's magic in The olden song;
Yea, cen ecstatfc are the tears
Which steal adown, our smiles among,
Roused by the sounds Of other years.
And, as the mariner can find
Wild pleasure in the voiced roar
Even of the ofen-dreaded wind,
That wreck d his every hope before;
If there's a pang that turks beneath
For youth had pangs-oh, let it rise!
'Tis sweet to feel the poet breathe
The spirit Of our former sighs.
We'll hear the strains we heard so Oft
In liie's first, warm, impassion'd hours,
That fell on our young hearts as soit
As summer dews on summer flowers
And as the stream, where'er it HES
Steals something in its purest flow,
Those strains shall taste Of ecstacies
Ger which they auated long ago.
Even IN our morn, when Fancy's eye
Glanced sparkling DER world of bliss,
When 10y was young. and hope was high,
We could not feel much more than this;
Howe'er. then, time our day dcvours.
WHY should our smiles be overcast!
Why should we grieve for fleeing hours?
Well find future IN the past.

SHAKsPEARE AND THE BIBLE.
We lever remarked till lately how
many bflhe plays of Shakespeare hear evil

with the hnguase, history. and philosophy
contained in the Bible; but we are now
aware thu some of the most eloquent and
affecting IF his conceptions may be traced
10 that graf fountain-head Of nearly all
that is found to be truly wise and elevated
in The intilutions of men. For the
amusement of our readers, we will cite
numerous instances of his familiar Use of
the very words of Holy Writ. they une-
quiyocally prove his estimation of The
