Is pale sad witbered ao~.
The FIRE that liz her natchless eye,
Ia quenche1 In tears Of woe;
The voice tina. gladened ey'ry heart,
In strains no longer dow.
That form where grace and beauty dwelt,
Now sinks beneath its load;
The breast that warmed TO rapture's thrill,
Is misery's dark abode.
And why this change and why this scene,
Round one whose morn was gay,
With all of hopes rich smiling dream.

To keep, protect, and succor her

THg BUTCHER AND HIS GAIA
butcher, who lad purchased calf sal
with It on horse al a public house door,
on which a shoemaker, remarkable for
his drollery, observing end knowing he
mad TO pass through wood, offered to the
| landlord to steal the calf for glass OF
grog, the landlord agreed, and the shoe
maker set off and dropt one new shoe in
the path near the middle OF the wood, and
another quarter of mile from il. The
butcher saw the first shoe, but did not
think it worth getting down for; however,
when he discovered the second, he thought
the pair would be an acquisition, and ac.
curdingly dismounted, tied his hores to
the hedge, and walked back to whete he
had seen the first shoe. The shoemaker,
IA the mesn time, unstrapped the calf and
carried il across the fields to the landlord,
who put ii into his barn. The butcher,
missing his calf, went back to the inn,
and told his misfortune, at the same time
observing thai he must have another calf
cost what il would, as the veal was be-
spoken. The landlord told him he had a
,Cati III iUc UdII, WfilCn uc WOuiu SOU MIN,
the butcher looked at 1t, and asked the
price; the landlord replied, Give me the
same price you did for the calf you lost,
as think this is full as large The
butcher would not allow it by shy means
t. oe as good, but gave him within six
shlliHgs of what the other cost, and ac-
cordingly put the calf second time across
b S horse. --Cnspia eiated with his success,
undertook TO steal the calfagain for anoth-
er glass Of grog, which, being agreed he
posted to the wood and hid himself, where
observing the butcher come along, he
beloved SO like calf, that the butcher,
concerning i to be the one he had lost,
cried with, joy "Ah! are you therel Have
found you at last = and Immediately dis
mounted and ran into the wood. Cfispin,
taking advantage of the butchers absence,
unstrapped the calf and actually got back
with it 10 the publican before the butcher
arrived TO tell his mournful tale, who at
tribu,ed the whole to wiichcralt. The
publican unravelled the mystery and the
butcher, after paying for, and partaking
of crowns worth Of punch, laughed
heartily at the joke, and the shoemaker
get great applause for his ingenuity.

SHAKESPEARE AND MILTON.

The editor of the Liverpool Mercury re-
Gently expressed the opinion,t that Shaks-
peare was the greatest man, intellectually
speaking,--in other words the greatest
genius that ever iived,--in any age or
country. This declaratonled the way
for sundry communications, claiming the
palm ofsuperiority for Milton. and these
brought forward others on The side OF
Shakespeare. One Of these correspsn
dents says:
"Mlton is a pyramid, a ST. Peters, a
Colosseum, Shakespeare is all Switzerland,
with its white mountains, its POLISHED gla-
ciers, its lovely lakes and valleys, its av.
slsnckes, its vines, IT'S storms, lis woods,
its beauty, and it's msgnifieence."
After quoting from ether correspen-
dents the Mercury says
sand for our own parts we end as we
begun, by giving il as our unshaken ludg-
ment, that, though Milton and Homer
and many other great men have appeal
ell, and have instructed and delighted and
asionrshed the world, yet that Shakespeare
not for subimiiy alone. nor for descrip'
tive power alone, nor for rue eloquenct
alone, nor for pursuasIon alone, nor con
cenlraied thought, nor inventive genius
nor penetration into the human intellec
or the human heart, bat for All these, anC
far more than all these, was and is, the
GREATEST MAN the world has ever SEEM
