rOF.TM -AL. . UNPUBLISHED STANZAS. BY U»HB BY HUN. [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.

St. Clair, in liis domestic relations 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 tion was instructive and interesting enliven 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 phemy, doubly horrible, in the ear of decen cy. when proreed ing from the lips of women ? Is it because we emit cast the outrage with tlie RELIGIOIS.
