[The following exquisite stanzas weic addressed by
Iiord Byron lo his lady, a lew months before their se
paration.]
TO JESSRV.
There is a mystic thread of l.fe
So dearly wreathed with m.ne alone,
That destiny’s relentless kittle
At once must sever both or no:.c.
There is a form, on which tho tf C e\es
Have often ga/eil with fond delight;
By day that form their joy suppl cs,
And dreams restore it through the night.
There is a voice, whose tones inspire
Such thrills of rapture in my breast;
\ would not hear a seraph choir,
Unless that voice could join the rest.
There is a face whose blushc* tell
Affection’s tale upon the check;
But pallid at one fond farewell,
Proclaims more love than words can speak.
There is a lip, which mine hath prest,
And none hath ever prest before ;
It vow'd to make me sweeth bios’,
And mine—mine only, prest it more !
There is a bosom—all my own—
Hath pillow’d oft this aching head;
A mouth—which smiles on me alone;
An eye—whose tears wit., mine are shed.
There are two hearts, whose movements thrill
In un son so closely sweet;
That pulse to pulse responsive still,
They both mint heave or cease to beat.
There arc two souls, whose equal How
lu gentle streams so calmly run—
That when they part—they part! ah, no !
They cannot part—those souls a e one!
Vmerirai revolution should disclose every
species of greatness ; anil the subject ol
this notice, al’>.er toiling with unsubdued res
olution against disaster, and smiling upon
adversity, fulfilled his destiny by descending
to the tomb a great man in ruins.
The afflictive spectacle, of his last days
smites the heart with sorrow. The friend »l
Washington—the companion of his glory ;
lie who by bis council turned the tide of bat
tle in the most gloomy period of the revolu
tion—lie who in the winter of '77. on the
i banks of the Delaware, looking on tbc brok-
I en army of liberty, beheld at bis word the
light of enthusiasm gleam over tin: brow of lining and amplifying tne innocent pie
j inist<>rtline—be, in ’83 before the. entrenrh-
ran 1.' any means compensate. On the olli-
•r band, the most attractive graces of the fo-
nale character, are not- the artificial an i
showy ones ; but those of a meek and quiet,
and of beneficent dispositions, guided by mo
ral principle and the discretion ot sound sense;
in a word,graces Hie same that oar holy reli
gion inculcates and inspires. ,
In the fair daughters of Eve, domestic ex
cellence is the predominating excellence ; in
comparison of which, all the ornaments that
literature or manners can bestow are as tin
sel compared witli the fine gold.

by either that bis acquaintance lias been

is devoid of the common sensibilities of our

of men, there are the artful and treacherous,
the unfeeling and cruel, the misrliievous, tlu

nevertheless, is entitled to a high degree of!

frit the tender sy mpat hies of our nature in
their fullest force. In social life he was
much valued as a friend . His conversa

ed b_- wit and embellished with science.
As a soldier and statesman he possessed a
piercing accuracy of mind, and, fearless
of censure from the short sighted and pr
active, and perilous scenes ; the other the
milder:—the one possessing more active
courage ; the other more of fortitude, of t"‘- j
signation. and of unw variable patience, and
more of the benevolent affections.
This is nature’s distinctive line, which on
the part or the female character can never be
overleaped without producing disgust or ri
dirulc. Hence it is, that, of affection, none
is more displeasing than a woman’s affecting
tlie spirit and manners of the other sex. We
have a sort of admiration of the heroic intre
pidity of the Spartan ladies; of their con
tempt oi danger; of the stoical apathy, or
rather exultation, willi which they received
(lie news of their sons and husbands dying
bravely in battle. We admire them as prodi
gies, but neither love nor esteem them as
women. Ami why is it that the atheistical
fair is regarded with surli singular horror?
Why is the foul oath, the heaven-daring blas
