ECHO SONG.
Oh, I’m the fairy Queen of Sound,
’Mid rocks and caves I roam ;
Unseen I float the wide world rouihd,
And make the sea my home.
Upon the distant shore I sleep,
Till waked by magic song;
Then climbing up the mountain steep,
I bear the notes along.
I hide me in the silent glade,
And rule its trembling air;
The winds in whispers woo the glade,
While 1 repeat them there.
When darkness clothes the lonely lake,
And gently flows the wave,
My bed ’upon its brow I make,
And answer every lave.
But in you Heav’n I rest my wing,—
Though music fills the skies,
No sounds from thence to earth I bring,
I love alone to arise.

Thou, against whom the voice of blood,
Hath risen from feck and lonely wood,
And in who -c dreams a moan should be,
Not of the wit or, nor the tree;
Haply tliine own last hour is nigh,—
Yet shaitthou not forsaken die.
There’s one that, pale, beside thee stands,
More true iban all thy mountain banes!

When the balls whistle rcu.id thy head;
Nor leave thee, though thy closing eye,
No longer may to her’s reply.
Oh! many a soft and quiet grace

with Juvenal, till I was called upon to ac

(There was, indeed, a resource ; but the ut-
| most caution and secrecy were necessary in
applying to it. I beat out piece? of leather
as smooth as possible, and wrought my pro-

rest my memory was tenacious, and I could
j multiply and divide bv it to a great extent.
Hitherto I had not so much os dreamed
[ of poetry: indeed, I scarcely knew it by

that a friendship was then contracted, which
time and a more intimate knowledge of
each other mellowed into a regard that

For the last five years of his life, Mr.
Gifford occupied his leisure hours in pre
paring for the press, a new edition of the
works of Ford and Shirley. The former is
completed in two volumes and ready for
publication. Of the latter, five volumes arid
one half of the sixth, are printed ; and it is

WILLIAM GIFFORD, ESQ.
Yesterday, December 31, 1826, died, at
his house in James-street, Buckingham-
gate, (London,) in the 71st year of his
age, William Gifford, Esq. author of the
Baviad and Mccviad, translator of Juvenal
and Perrins, and editor of the Quarterly
Review from its commencement down to the
beginning of the year just past. To the
translation of Juvenal is prefixed a memoir
of himself, which is, perhaps, as modest and
pleasant a piece of autobiography as ever
■was written.
Mr. Gifford was bom at Ashburton, in
April, 1756. “ The resources of my mo
ther were,” he says, very “ scanty. With
these, however, she did what she could for
me; and as soon as I was old enough to he
trusted out of her sight, sent me to a school
mistress of the name of Parret, from whom
I learned in due time to read. I cannot
boast much of my acquisitions atthis school
they consisted merely of the contents of my
spelling book; but from my mother, who
had stored up the literature of a country
town, which, about half a century ago,
_ mounted to little more than what was dis
. , A geminated by itinerant ballad-singers, or ra
ther, readers, I had acquired much curious
. know ledge of Catskin and the Golden Bull,
and the Bloody-Gardener, and many other
histories equally instructive and amusing.”
At eight years of age Mr. Gifford was put
to the freo school, to learn to read and write
and cipher. “ Here I continued about three
years,” making, he says, “ a most wretched
progress, when my father fell sick and died

In relation to one of them, the viewing com
mittee in their report, made the following
remarks.
“ This farm appears to be cultivated with
great care, and much good judgment in agri
culture ; but the committee are of opinion,
that the owner is in fault in one essential
particular, and they hope that an indirect al
lusion to it will be sufficient for him to cor
rect the error. There is no commodity on a
farm so useful and so pleasing to the farmer
nothing in this life, on which he can so
safely rest his hopes of comfort in future
years—as a company of healthy, robust and

forsook him, and he retreated precipitately,

pronounced by me without veneration.
The lamentable doggerel which I have al
ready mentioned, and which had passed
from mouth to mouth among people of. my
own degree, had, by some accident or other,
reached his ear, and given him a curiosity to
inquire after the author.
“ It was my goed fortune to interest his
benevolence. My little history was not un
tinctured with melancholy, and I laid it fair
ly before him. His first care was to con

last moment of his existence, was to relieve
and support me.
“ Mr. Cookesley was not rich: his emi
nence in his profession, which was that of a
surgeon, procured him, indeed, much em-

Sir William perfected its recovery. Anx-
“ Lious. t° know the sensations which John
''Haynes had experienced at the moment of
his suspension, the surgeon questioned the
thief earnestly upon that subject. All the
answer he obtained was as follows :—‘‘ The
last thing I recollect, was going up Holborn
Hill in a cart. I thought then that I was in
a beautiful green field—and this is all I re
member till I found myself in your Honour’s

a subscription was raised, “ for purchasing
