My lodging i Iho cold, cohJ crmiud, 1 t it tlt hread of charity And whf n tl kis of love c;ots round, Tht rc h no kh. alas for mc. Yet once I had a fath r dear,. A mother tu, I wont to prize, Yith ready haiul to wipe the tear, li chanced the transient tear to rhe. But caufe of tears was rarely found, For all ni) heart was 3 iuthful glee; And w hen the khs of lore went round, How swtct a kiss t!crc was for mc! But, ah! there came a war, they say: W hat i a writ 1 I cannot tell: The drum5: and lift did sntctly phy, And luuiilj ranc enr village btlh In truth, it w is a pretty count!, I thuught; nor could I thence forcte, That when the ki5 of love went round, There soon would he no kns for rue. A scarh t coat my father took, And sword a bright, as bright could be; And feathers thot so caily look, All in a hi:un.r cap had I.e. Then how my little heart did hound;' A his, 1 thought it I'ne to see, ISir tlrr.mt that when the kis went round, There ooti wouhl be no kiss for rne. At h iigtb the hcil aaindid rmj;: There was a victory, thry said: Twa wliatni fathtrsaid heM hrinj; But, ah ! it brought my fattier d ad.

Jsaid, it U true, that it is not to provide for j the uncertain contingency of war, but to I give weight to present negotiations. But I I can with difficulty believe it to be a bad political calculation to trust for security to jthe increased prosperity, and consequently j increased strength of the country, which I could not but he the result of removing jono half or two thirds of the burden of its j military establishments, still leaving sufiijcicnt to provide for any emergency, and j giving time to call into action, with "effect, ! its whole disposable physical force. England has been called the national ally of ! Prussia, and it is probably presumed, that j in the event of war with either of the other ! groat powers, its '-sinews' would be furj nished by the former. But this is rather a degrading dependance, which might be

j avoided by giving increased activity to the springs of wealth j There is nothing in Magdeburg which excites a livelier interest than its celebra- ! ted prison. Who has not read the story of j Trenck, and sympathised with the sufferlings of Lafayette? This dungeon, (for it j can be called by no other name) is situated ! without the walls of the city, and its ap-

j appearance supports its character, of being

one of the strongest prisons in Europe. It jis entirely under ground, and from the : exterior, nothing is visible but a stone

gate, on which are some rudelv carved fig

spot, seemed to eye us with some scrutiny, j when he saw the direction from which wc j came, but he said nothing, aud wc had no i disposition to wait to be questioned. But ! I did not breathe quite freely till I was eni tirely beyond the precincts of this terrific I prison.

This subject has taken up so mucn room, that I am compelled to omit, at least for the present, the mention of the dome, and some other objects which I found interesting in Magdeburg.
