"Methinks, thy jubilee to keep,
The first-made anthem rang,
On earth deliver'd from the deep,
And the first poet sang.

"Nor ever shall the Muse's eye
Unraptur'd greet thy beam :
Theme of primeval prophecy!
Be still the poet's theme.

"The earth to thee its incense yields,
The lark thy welcome sings,
When glitt'ring in the freshen'd fields
The snowy mushroom springs.

"How glorious is thy girdle cast
O'er mountain, tower, and town ;
Or mirror'd in the ocean vast,
A thousand fathoms down!

"As fresh in yon horizon dark,
As young thy beauties seem,
As when the eagle from the ark
First sported in thy beam.

"For faithful to its sacred page,

Heaven still rebuilds thy span ;

Nor lets the type grow pale with age,
That first spoke peace to man."

P. 43.

There is a comparison of Mrs. Fry's reformation of Newgate, to the stilling of the sea by our Saviour, which might have been advantageously omitted: first, because Newgate is as tempestuous as ever, and secondly, because Mrs. Fry is contrasted with our Lord in a manner which may give just offence.

Mr. Sotheby and Mr. Charles Sheridan are voluminous but not succesful contributors. A portrait of an aged and dying mother by Mr. Galley Knight, is in better taste, and we shall conclude these brief remarks by extracting a small portion of it.

"Ye who approach her threshold, cast aside

The world, and all the littleness of pride;
Come not to pass an hour, and then away
Back to the giddy follies of the day;-
With reverent step and heav'n-directed
Clad in the robes of meek humility,
As to a temple's hallow'd courts, repair,
And come the lesson, as the scene, to share;

eye,

Gaze on the ruin'd frame, and pallid cheek,
Prophetic symptoms, that too plainly speak!
Those limbs that fail her as she faulters by;
Pangs, that from nature will extort a sigh;
See her from social intercourse remov'd,

Forbid to catch the friendly voice she lov❜d;
Then mark the look compos'd, the tranquil air,
Unfeign'd contentment still enthroned there!
The cheerful beams, that, never quench'd, adorn
That cheek, that gladden those who thought to mourn;
Benignant smiles for all around that shine,
Unbounded love, and charity divine!
This is Religion-not unreal dreams,
Enthusiast raptures and seraphic gleams;

But Faith's calm triumph-Reason's steady sway,
Not the brief lightning, but the perfect day." P. 201.

"Nor her's alone the virtues that require

Some stroke of fate to rouse their latent fire;
Great for an hour, heroic for a scene,
Inert through all the common life between.
But such as each diurnal task perform,
Pleas'd in the calm, unshaken by the storm.
In her had Nature bounteously combin'd
The tend'rest bosom with the strongest mind;
Sense that seem'd instinct, so direct it caught
The just conclusion, oft refus'd to thought;
Simplicity of heart, that never knew

What meant the baubles which the world pursue;
All these, by not a taint of self alloy'd,
All these were her's-for others all employ'd.

To seek the haunts of poverty and pain,

Teach want to thrive, and grief to smile again ;
To guide young footsteps to the right, and win
The old in error from the ways of sin;

To ease the burthens of the human race,

Mend ev'ry heart, and gladden ev'ry face,

She liv'd and breath'd, not from the world estrang'd,
But mov'd amongst it, guileless and unchang'd;
Still lov'd to view the picture's brighter side;

The first to cherish, and the last to chide." P. 203.
