LlviSe ON 1HE DEAD.-A young
author Of five-and thirty years Of age
had prepared two years ago. an elabo.
rate memoir Of Mr.. Rogers. the poet,
and was only waiting for the poets
drath 10 give it TO the public the next
day in The columns Of Il widely!spread
journal. Mr. Rogers is still, happily,
alive. The youth who had prepared
his life. in expectation Of his friends
death, has been nearly a'year in his
grave Erchdnge " t.' =
In the English Metropolis poor
newspaper hacks and literary scaten-

that they can prepare u Geography

mains of the subject have been de-
posted in the tomb Within year

here (uf recent ilnportalion) who has on
hand the histories Of all the eminent
mobiles and statesmen of Europe, and
is ready to complete the biographies
Of any Of them that may die, at a cou-
pie Of hours notice. The fellow is
old enough TO think Of the grave with
terror, and be prepared for it,; but
those who know him we'll say that so

rows aud joys. The words Of afFec-
tion encs spoken, will still be heard,
like distant echo, perhaps, but dis
tinct and clear. The eyes that were
wont 10 beam upon US, showing a
soul within pure and tervent, may
now be diInned by the absence Of
that soul, but the memory Of the loved
ones will linger until our souls cast
off these letters, and we fly to meet
them in better, brighter world

still our hearts cling TO it, and time
only proves mare strongly that "Love
