"Come Inspiration from-thy hermit seat "By mortals seldom found

selected. And they cony ?:.y thy Ion?, dark hair, Clustering in shadowy flaw, Is like fhe raven's plumage there, Veiling the moonlight brow! The roseate flush that !yps thy cheek, All bright with beau'y's gluw. Is like, the radient crimson streak Of sunspt o'er the snow! There is a charm more bright for me Thy soul (f sensibility And they may say thy soft blue eye, When rais'd its living shroud, Outshines the diamond gera on high, 'I hat lights yon azure cloud! Thy lips, as plants of coral red, In bloom where pearl-drops shine t Thy breath, like heavenly incmse shed From virtue's holiest shrine! There is a charm more rch to rue Tliy heart1 s long proved sincerity. And they may say thy light step, where They wake the graceful dance, Is like a srph's motion there, Or wild bird's swift -wingM glance. And lingering yet thy firm of love Is lita a dream of heaven! Thy voice like music breath J above, Among the clouds of even! There is a charm more dear to me Tiiy spirit s spotless purity.

EPIGRAM Pray, what is lighter than a feather? The dust that flis in finest weather. And what rs lighte r than the dust, I pray? The wind that blows that dust away. And what is lighter th in the wind? The lightness of the dandy's mind. And what is lighter than the last? Hold, hold, my friend you have me fast.

ification. The wishes of Cinderella, however wild and extravagant, were not more

promptly realized; the cap of Fortunatus

the wand of Harlequin are less magical than his enchanted finger. He points, and the depths of the sea yield him up their tenants ; the air surrenders its feathered rarities; earth pours out its cornucopia at his feet;

and fire, like a ministering spirit, waits to

receive his orders tor their concoction. Mankind seems to he at his disposal not less

than the animal and vegetable world. How

many weary months have the crew of an Ea3t

Iadi in been shut out from the sight of land, how many storms have they encountered, to

bring home that pickle of which he swal

lows a mouthful, not to gratify but promote

hunger, that he may devour some produ

tion imported at equal cost from another

hemisphere. Lives, more valuable perhaj

than his own, may have been sacrificed to

pamper his appetite. Some fisherman s boat

Those who do not die for him seem to live

for him: from the snow-covered hunter of

the North to the sun-bur. t vintager of the

South, all offer up to him the sacrifice of

their toils and dangers.

Nor is it only in this remote worship that

he is undergoing a living apotheosis. The waiters bow down before him: "praesens

habebitur divus" a present deity the walls

resound; and even the subterranean cooks,

scullions, and kitchen-maids, though they do

not chaunt hymns with their lips, enact them

with their hands; they talk with their fin gers and digitate quotations from Shak

speare "Laud we the gods, and let our

heartfelt homage, this perfect and spotless

candour of hospitality, with the hollow, sor

hearts while they extend their arms; the falsehood of relations, who, while they wish

us many happy new years, are secretly pin

us at the devil; the forbidding looks of the

wife if we go uninvited to a dinner; the

broad hints of the husband if we protrac

our visit beyond the stipulated day; and the

scowl of the servants wheresoever and when

soever we are doomed to accept of their bad

offices. Enthroned in a tavern-chair, we

seem to have dominion over mind as wel as matter; to command the hearts as wel

as the hands of our species: thus uniting the

chanties and affections that delight the soul

with all the luxuries and gratifications that can recreate the sense.

And who is the happy individual whose

presence commands this species of instan

adoration from all things animate and inan

imate? Is it the prodigal son, for whose unexpected return hecatombs of fatted calves are to be slain? Is it some benefactor of his

race, some patriot or hero, some grandee or

opposite would certainly be much nearer to

The object of his horseplay and rude rail-

Aware of the necessity for some indisputa

ble distinction between himselt and such

gentlemen as we have been describing, the

rogue, with a sly satire, scrupulously condemns his legs to white cotton stockii gs, and is conscientious not to appear without a

napkin beneath his arm. 1 he ditlerence is merely external; his is indeed the "meanness that soars and pride (hat licks the dust,"

but it has the same source as the fraught)

vulgarity of his insulter. He looks to the

final shilling or half-crown, although it will

be cast to him with an air that converts gen

erosity itself into an offence. That is his

pride of purse; and I know not which is the most revolting, the arrogant or the abject

manifestation of the same feeling.

"They order these things better i;. France,'7 and the interior economy and rcg ulation of our taverns might, in many res

pects, be bettered by an imitation of our

Gallic neighbours. No Parisian enters their

public dining-rooms without taking otF his

hat, and bowing to the presiding deity of

the bar. 1 aking his place in silence, and perusing the closely-printed folio Carfr with a penetration proportioned to its bewildering diversity, he finally makes his selection,

writes down the articles of his choice, and even the quantity of each, so as to prevent all mistake, upon slips of paper deposited on every table for that purpose, hands the record to an attendant, and betakes himself patiently to a newspaper until his orders appear before him in all their smoking and edible reality. There is rarely any calling of the waiter, and there are no bells to ring, the number and activity of the attendants generally rendering both processes unnecessary. Shortly after dinner the guests call for coffee, and betake themselves, with a

valedictory bow, to their own avocations or

the theatres in winter, to a promenade or a

chair in some of the public gardens if it be

summer. Ladies of the first respectability

are habitual diners at the restauratures, contributing, as might be expected, to the perfect decorum of the assemblage, and even (as might not be expected) to its silence. Surely some of these coffee-house amenities might be beneficially imported, especially

the temperance, in a country where wine
