PoeticaL

f Obscure Genius A new poet has started j Up in humble life in Scotland. His name is Rodgers, and he resides in Glasgow. lie has a wife and nine children, which he has supported upon his wages, which never exceeded 12 shillings a week. The Montreal Herald contains two specimen taken from a forthcoming volume. One of them is of the simple plaintive cast, the other lull of the rich and joyous of Burns. " DINNA FORGET." Here, put on thy linger this ring, love, And, when thou art far o'er the sea, Perhaps to thy mind it will bring, love, Somi thought some reniebrcnce of me : Our moments of rapture and bliss, love, The haunts where so eft we have met, These tears, and this last parting kiss, love, It tells thee O, " dinna forget !" Vc might look on yonder fair moon, lot c, Oft gated on by us with delight, And thiiik cf each other alone, leu1?, At one sacred hour every night : .But, ah ! ere she'd rise to thy view, love, To me, she long, long would be set. Then, look tothisM:'.? token more true, love, On thy finger and dinna forget !"

And charms more attractive than mine ; Be moved by a more winning air, love, Or struck by a finger more fine ; But, should'st thou a brighter eye see, loi-c, Or ringlets" of more glossy jet, Let this still thy talisman be, love, Look on it, and " dinna forget !" And, oh, when thou writes to mc, love, The sealing impress with this r ing ; And that u sweet earnest will be love, . To which, v-ith fond hope I will cling. That thou to thy vows will be true, love ; That happiness waileth uj yet ; One partng emb- r-.ee now adieu, love-

The dangerous policy of yield ing even to the just demands of soldiers, made with arms in their hands ; a policy resulting perhaps inevitably from an original denial of justice was soon illustrated The success of the Pennsylvania line inspired a part of that of New Jersey, many of whom were also tpreigncrs, with the hope of obtaining similar advantages, and stimulated them to the attempt On fl

It is customaiy in hunting stables to warm the water before the horse drinks it ; this a very bad practice, as it renders him liable to be griped whenever he drinks it in any other state It certainly is not prudent to give much cold water to a horse when he is heated with exercise, but other periods may be found when he may drink it with safety. Grooms have a foolish habit of galloping horses immediately after drinking ; with the intention of warming the water in their stomachs.

Hence the sedentary habits early acquired by the other sex, and that comparative timidity which results from a want of familiarity with those external injuries to which the stronger sex is daily exposed. This timidity, it is to be observed, by no means implies an impatience under present suffering ; for the female, though less courageous than the male, is commonly more resigned and patient under severe affliction. The mental constitutions in this respect, of the sexes, are happily adapted to the different provinces allotted to them in life ; the male being the natural protector of the female in moment of danger and Hidden ali'rm; the female destined to be Ids comfort and support in seasons of sorrow &, of protracted stHVeiinop , From the greater dclicacof their name, and from the numcrous aliments connected with their sexual lempe.ament, combined with their constant familiarity with distresses which are not their own, the sympathy nf Wnmn

u hen the entire sexes are compared together, the female i doubtless, the inferior; but-u individuals, the woman has often the advantage of the man." k- in this opinion, I have no doubt that Plato is in the right. The intellectual and moral Jif' ferences between the sexes seem
