Chambers Edinburg Journal has criticism OF a
hook upon Magyar Literature. The following buoy.
ant aud rustic song is presented among the spcci-
mems of Magyar Poetry:
No elegant palace God raised er my head,
Rich tapestry gave not nor silk to my bed;
hut cottage of peace, and a rude healthy life,
Aud, to crown my enioyments, brown, cheerful
wife;
And love makes II taste more delightfully."- sweet.
When our iabors are ended. together we rest,
And each to the others bare bosom IL prest
The sun rises up, and we rise full of JOY,
Full of strength to the busy days wonted employ
smile anew,
And every fresh foweret is dripping with dew;
And the song Of the lark pours lis melodies sweet,
Like the freshness OF zephyr on summers close
heat
Then comes the gray vintage--the red grapes we
bear,
Aud al Ike of the labor and recompense share.
The winter puts on lie white robes-we retire
AT even-and bend Ger our own cottage fire;
Ny Sari turns round the gay spindle and sings;
And out OF our happiness time makes lite wings
have handicratt labors, and. happy the thought,
For this pay no taxes to Germans nor aught.
The Sabbath comes round. and, in holiday gear,
] GO to Gods dwelling, then quietly steer
To the Kortsma, where, cheered by wineloving
brother,
We pledge a full glass, and we laugh with each
other,
Get warm and we call on the gipsies to play.
] know OF no care roll the world az 1t may;
nothing am owed, and TO nobody owe;
Hurting none, none will hurt me- so smiling we 20
Ga the rude path of lite when its labors past,
Death will find us both ready and cheerful at last
