The malignant air Of calumny soonest at
tacks the sound and elevated in mind, as
storms of wind the tallest and most fruitful
trees; whilst the low and weak, for bowling
and moving to and fro, are by their weel-
ness secure from the danger and violepce
of the tempest.
1t seems not 50 much the perfection ot
sense to say things that have never been
said before, as to express those best that
have been said oftenest; aud writer's, in the
lease Of borrowing from others, are like
trees, which Of themselves would produce
only one sort of fruit; but By being grated
upon others, may yield variety.
IL man be coxcomb, solitude Is bis bes
school; and if he be fool, it is his bes
sanctuary.

POETRY
THE POETS QUEST.

BY RICHARD HOWITT.
What seeks the Poet: To be known
Far as his country's fame extends-
To make the world of mind his own
10 make remotest men his friends.
His skill he counts but ms bird,
Tho wronged, tho sad, redressing wrongs
In every cline aud season heard,
And breathing solace in his songs.
A beacon on a dangerous shore
Over Times sea a guiding star;
A date tree in the desert-more,
A fountain in the desert far.
A stately tree Of generous leaf
A MONDAY temple, green and fair;
That weariness, that pain and grief,
May shelter find. and solace there.
IT'S well but seeks he nothing more!
Inspired at Truths and Beauty's springs,
His soul with goodness flowing DER,
He would be that which well he sings!
BY the worlds batteries unmoved.
To vice, to guilt no sad ally;
Through life of his own soul approved,
Of God and man approved, to die.

ROMANCE,

ROMANCE.
1t pours its rich and glorious light
Der lake, and glen, and forest lone;
1t wreathes the very woodland flowers
With grace and freshness not their own:
1t fills our youthful eyes with awe,
While listening to the legend old,
1t haunts the poets dream of fame,
1t thrills the hearts of warriors bold.
Unearthly light alike it filings
Der stately dome and rustic cot;
A magic charm it weaves around
Our common life, our daily lot:
It pictures to the maiden fair
Visions unrealized on earth,
And whispers to her lovers heart
A tale of matches grace and worth.
Firmly it clings to hoary age,
Musing DER feats of boyish glee,
As moss the Wondering ruin decks,
As ivy clasps the whitening tree:
In every human breast there flows
This sparkling, gushing, restless spring;
Its banks are green, its flowers are fair,
The birds upon its margin sing.
Though oft its hayward course is stayed,
Though gnarled roots obstruct its way,
Choked by scar leaves and matted grass,
And parched beneath the noontide ray;
Ever it gushes forth anew,
Warbling a wild untutored lay;
More freshly swells its cooling fount,
Gladdening the pilgrims onward way.
