FORGET ME, k FORGET ME NOT.
Forget me in the mazy dances
When beauty’s flitting by;
Forget me not when that bright glance
Beams from my rival‘s eye;
Forget me when tlv heart is glad—
When sweetest feeling* flow;
Forget me riot when i am sad-
Wh en sorrow clouds my brow.
Forges me when I’m by tbv side;
When round my native home—
Forget me not when on the tide
I’m tossed by ocean's foam:
Forget me in the morn of life,
When all is light and gay;
Forget me not when tempants rife,
Are darkling o’er my way.
Forget me when thefav’rmg tide
Os fortune bears me on;
Forget me not when I am tried
By fortune’s gloomy frown:
Forget me when the world shall bow,
Applauding me and mine;
Forget me not when on my brow
The cypress it would twine.
Forgot me in the summer bower,
With mingling voices gay;
Forget me not when in the hour
Os silent night l stray:
Forget me here, forget me there,
Thy friend at morn and even;
Forget me not, O! ne’er forget,
When to the God of Ileavt n,
Thy form is bowed in humble prayer-
Thy spirit upwards bending,
To free the heart from guilt an I care,
To God on high ascending.

MY r NEW COAT,
J 1 Fragment .
T never was so miserable in all my lift ,
as the day I put on my new coat. My
misery was heigh,'ened by the cirrurn
stance, that: I expected to be particu
larly happy. I pot it. <m ufu>c iu-oak
fast. It fitted me exceedingly well,
and I have rather a handsome figure
—at least, so inv tailor tells me. I
had been reading Miss Latt don's *‘im
provisutricebut the moment I pul
on my new coat, 1 found that my
thoughts wandered to Prince street,
and I could no longer participate in
the sorrows of her heroine. I but
toned my new coat; for the greatest
natural philosophers informs us, that
we should always wear anew coat
buttoned, that it may get a habit of
sitting close to the body. I buttoned
my new rout; and sallied forth. I
passed through the western division
of George street It struck ine that
there was an unusual number of ladies
at the windows. I did not care; 1 was
sure that my new coat had a fashion
adle cut; so I said to my self, “They
may look at me if they please.’’ I re
solved, however, not to walk as if 1
were conseious that. I wore anew coat.
I assumed an easy, good humoured,
condescending kind of air; and the ex
pression of my countenance seemed
benevolently to indicate that 1 would
have addressed a few words to an old
friend, even although lie appeard in a
coat that I had seen him in six months
before, 1 did not were mv Indian
*
handkerchief in my breast; for I look
upon that as a statagem to which men
should resort only when the front parts
of their coat get thread bare. 1 put
my handkerchief (it is real India, and
I have only one of the sort) into ray
coat pocket, and I allowed one of the
yellow corners to hang out as if by ac
cident. 1 occasionally conveyed it
from my pocket to my nose; but when
I replaced it, a yellow corner, by the
sane* accident, always hung out.
At the corner of Castle-street, sev
eral porters tom bed their bats to me;
and two maid who were
standing at the top <*f their area stair,
looked after me till i was out of sight.
When l came v.J- ,
opposite the Assembly rooms, three or
four men asked me if l wanted a,
coach; but though the compliment
rather pleased me, I declined their
offers in a dignified and gentlemanly
manner. Just as I passed Gardner’s,
shop, or between that and MDiar- ;
mid’s, an individual, rather shabbily i
dressed, whispered in my ear, “Any!
edd deaths to sell, sir?” | answered,
‘No!’ rather gruffl*; for my first iin-j
pression was, that a kind of sneer was,
intended at my new coat; but on re
flection, ( feel convinced that these old
clothes men only address persons of
gentlemanly appearance; and there
fore I take this opportunity of,publicly
expressing inv regret fur my severity
to the individual in question, who, I
am sorry to repeat, w.is rather sliab-j
bily dressed. Hitherto I had met witli
little to rutile me.
Just as I turned into South Hanover;
direct, i rubbad agrtiuts a white phan
tom, who passed on as if nothing hod
Happened, but who left the whole of my
right arm and shoulder coverd with
Hour and dust. The daring villain
was a baker, and with a ruthless bar
larity worthy only of a lineal descend -
. nt, of the murderer Iloggart he had
(tempted to destroy-forever my coal
.nd my happiness. Fortunately, an
( bliging footman, who was near me
< t the time, seeing my distress lifted
is hand, and by a pretty violent ap
i lication of it to my back and side,
icceeded in restoring me to compara
-vc peace of mind. 1 got into Prince’s
reet. The sun was shining bright
ly; all the world was abroad; but 1 did
not meet with one whose coat was so
new as my own. I felt my superior!-
s; I perceived that I was an object of
universal attention. 1 don’t know
how many black eyes glanced sunshine
into tne;i cannot recollect the number
of blue oglers, that stole my heart at
every step. Opposite Blackwood’s
shop, a gentleman, in a blue surtout
and green spectacles, stopped me; and
a'ddiwssing me in French, gave me to
understand that fm was a Spanish ref
ugee very poor and very miseraoie;
and that, as be had been informed I
was celebrat’ and for my charitable ac
tions, he hoped I would afford him a
little assistance. I was rather pleas
ed at the stranger’s address; but how
he nunc to be informed that 1 was cel
cheated for mv charitable actions, I
confess 1 cannot very well compre
bend; for. with the exception of a
j penny I threw to a little boy who
I continued scraping on the fiddle under
mv window one day after dinner when
[ was falling asleep, I do not think 1
have given away a farthing in charity
for the last nine months. The Spa
: nisli refugee, however, in green spec
tacles, had done me the honor to sin
gle me out, probably in consequence of
the air of distinction which ray new
coat gave me, and it would have been
very inhuman in me not to have pre
sented him wiUi half a crown. He re
ceived it with much gratitude, and I
went on toward the Calton hill.
Passing the Waterloo Hotel, I en
countered a cloud of dust, which I did
not at all like, but which I was philo
sopher enough to submit to
Severer evils were awaiting me. Af
ter 1 had ascended the hill, the day
suddenly overcast; big, heavy drops
of rain began to fall, faster and faster;
till a thunder shower came tumbling
down with irrisistible violence. Good
Heaven! rain—thunder—rain upon a
new coat—the very first day I had ev
er put it on! I turned back—l ran—
I flew—but in vain! Before I could
reach the nearest place of shelter, I
was completely drenched. I could
have wept, but I was in too great ago
ny to think of weeping. When I got
to the east of Prince’s street there
was not a coach on the stand. I might
have gone into Barry’s or Mackay’s,
but it would have been of no use—l
was as wet as 1 could be. I walked
straight home through the splashing
streets. Ido not think I was in my
right reason. I was to have dined
( out in my new coat, and now it would
in water. / put my hand in my pock
et mechanically to take out my silk
handkerchief; I don’t know why,
Heaven and earth! it whs gone: my
pocket had been picked! 1 bad lust my
new silk handkerchief The horrible
conviction flashed upon me tb it the
Spanish refugee in green sped aides,
who had complimented in<* <>u my cha
ritable actions, and to who ]Tli and gi.yen
half a crown, took it from me.
1 reached home more de ni (ban a
live, 1 threw off my coat and went to
the kit'hen to be dri *d. My cook.i-t
a very good woman, but she is ratbt r
fat. I sat by myself meditating up >•
the u-icert; io v of human life. My
reverie lasted aI mg while. Sudde. ly
an odour like that of a singed sheep’s
head rearhed my nostrils, I started
up; in a moment a fatal truth crossed
my mind; / rushed into the kif< In n;
my cook was fast, asleep; and my coat
was smoaking before the lire, burned
brown in a dozen different places,
with here and there several small
holes. / seized a carving knife to
stab the cook to the heart; but, in my
impetuosity, / tumbled over a kitchen
tub, and as / fell, my head struck with
a bump upon tbe cook’s lap. She star
led up, and calling me a ‘base men
ster,’ fled from the kitchen as fast as
her dumpy legs could carry her dum
pier carcass. J thought of eommitirig
suicide; but just at that moment the
chambermaid came to tell me that the
tailor had called to know how / liked
my new coat. / pushed my rro tlrro’
one of the holes that had been burned
in the back of it, tottered into the
dining room where he was waiting for
and fell -i ■> a swoon af his feet.

encouragement.
We propose ‘The Pleiades,’as a recep
tacle for that light and graceful literature,
original and selected, which is calculated
