THE POETRY OF MILTON. - Among Mil
tons critics, perhaps Addison has gained the
greatest fame by his series of admirable pa
pers upon Paradise Lost, in the Spectator.
But we think the great poet never had finer
appreciator than Walter Savage Landor, who,
in his celebrated Imaginary Conversations,
says after | have been reading the Para
disc Lost, | can take up no other poet with
satisfaction. seem to have left the music of
Handel for the music of the streets, Or at
best, for drums and flies. recur to it inces-
sanity as the noblest specimen in the world
of eloquence, harmony, and genius" And
he elsewhere says, (in answer to a supposed
remark of Southey,) "a rib of Shakespeare
would have made a Milton the same portion
of Milton all poets born since" Again he
says at may be doubted whether the Crea-
tor ever created one altogether so great tax
ing into one view, at once, his manly virtues,
his superhuman genius, his zeal for truth, for
true piety, true freedom, his eloquence in dis
playing it his contempt of personal power,
his glory and exultation in his country's; !"
and much more to the same effect.
Reason governs the wise man, and cudgcls

REMEMBER NOW THY CREATOR, IN THE DAYS oP
'' THY YOUTH
Come, while the rose Of youth thy brow Is wreath
ing,
Ere yet one thorn, has sprung to rankle there,
Come taste the balm, which has the power Of
healing
Each thrill Of sorrow, and each throb Of care.
Come, bring the Offering of thy young affections,
Ere yet they're chilled by Rsrth's dsbasing csre,
The shrine of Heaven demands the sweet oblatior.
. heed the summons. place thy treasure there.
Soon will the storms Of life be beating DER thee,
And pleasures hand, its poisoned chslice bring;
Taste not ths drsught. twill prove . snare unto
thee,
For tears Of sorrow fost around the brim.
Then when the hand Of God is on thy dwelling,
And thy heart pines, beneath dark sorrows sway,
The Heaven raised trust with which thy heart Is
swelling
Will guide thy footsteps in the weary way.
And when old age shall cast its mantle Ger thee,
And deaths cold hand lies heavy on thy brow,
The lamp Of FAITH, shall light thy path before
thee,
To joys of which thy spirit dreams not now.

REASONABLE CURIOSITY IN DYING MAN.
1t was bright thought, that of Smithson,
the founder of the Smithsonian Institution
when he was dying of an unknown complaint.
Smithson had had five doctors, and they had
been unable to discover what his disease was.
At length they told the patient he must die.
Calling them all around him, he said:
MY friends, after die, make post NOR
TEN examination. and find out what ails me-;
for really have heard such long and learned
discussion on the subject, that am dying to
know what the disease is myself"
