LORD BYRON.

EDITOR GOLD Leaf have Just
arisen from my seat in my quiet and

"Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" a mas

gifted Byron. He was man of tran

moral force requisite to elevate man
to the true position he should occupy
IN the scale of being. His gigantic
powers of soul needed a guiding in
huence they did not possess. Then
his mind was disquieted and unsettled,
driven, like huge vessel on the toss

pestuous waves of unsanctihed posses
