When evening’s dewy shades de scend, I sigli for tliee mv bosom friend ; Near \ on proud mountain’s hoary brow, Where oft* we breath’d our art less vow, When life, and love, and hope were new, And fancy’s liand soft pictures drew Os promis’d bliss a!) vision bright ! Whv do ye mock mv eager sight ? Wbv do these brilliant tints arise, K but to cheat mv ardent eves r Why snatch the bev’rage from try I'P, i'Tn as I bend its sweets to sip ? Why place before my raptur’d view Delights so transient, sn untrue, That whilst I gaze, their beauties l seem .A bright, y>“t evanescent dream— Fair as the veil by fancy wove, ’i o deck the brow of infant love ; Idild .is the breath of Zephyr’s wing, When first lie wooestlie blushing spring,; Sweet as the flow’l et’s soft per i line, Yet fragile as it:;.fleeting bloom? j thou ! to this fond breast so j dear, F'eturn , ndilrv the bitter tear ; Come with that voice, that look of 1 h ve, And eai ii obtrusive fear remove ; ; B< fore the magic of thine eve, See da> k distrust and anguish fly : i One glance, one soul-entrancing j smile, From lips devoid of art or guile, j Can still tin* tempest of ntv soul, And eat I) corrosive care coni rnul; ) Ah then return, my peace restore, And fondly vow to part ro more. Monimia. “” SWEET F.LLF.N, —SORROW SCHt Lit. Coid blew the wind n rlam f Jigl.S When Ellen It ft her home ; And brav’d the horrors of the night, O’er t'rearv w ilds to roam . The lovely m-yid had lute been t?av, When hope and pleasure smil’d, But now, alas ! how chang’d the day With Ellen—sorrow’s child. She lopg was William’s promis'd bride. But ah ! lioiv sad a doom, The gentle youth in beauty’s pride, Was summon’d to the. tomh ; No more tlioso jays shall Ellen prove, Winch many an hour beguil’d • From morn to eve she mourns i her love— Sweet Elien— sorrow’s child. With fanlt’ring step away she | hies, O’er William’s grave to weep, ! For Ellen there with tears and { sighs, Her watch would often keep .- Tlte pitying angel saw her woe, Ami came with aspect mild, 1 liy tears shall now no lender now. Sweet Ellen—sorrow’s child. Thy plaintive notes were heart! above, Where thou shall soon find list ; Apa'u ilmu shall behold thy love, And be foicvt r blest : Ah l t; u such bliss be mine, she cried, A\ T t! t voice and looks so wild— Then sin k upon the earth and died, Sweet Ellen—sorrow’s child. THE RHINOCEROS. Mr. BRUCF.’s defeription of the manners of the .wo homed ihinoceros, is highly vvotiht oi tio'tce. He inlorms us ihat,'’ beiides the trees, capable of molt rcfiltance, iheiearein the vast forefts within the rain?, trees of a loiter confidence, and of a very lucculent quality, which seem to be destined lor his principal food. For the purpose of gaining the highest branches of these, his upper lip is capable of being lengthened out so as to increase his power of laying hold with it, in the fume manner as the elephant does with his trunk. With this lip, and the allillar.ee of his tongue, he pulls down the up’ pgr branches, which have molt leaves, and thcle hr devours firft ; having dripped the tree of its branches, he does not therefore abandon it, but, plac ing his snout as low in the trunk as he finds his horns will enter, he rips up the body ol the tree, and reduces it to thin pieces like so many laths; arid when he has thus prepared it, he em braces as much of it as he can in his monllrous jaws, and, twills it round with as much ease as an ox would do a root of celery, or any such pot-herb or garden-duff.” Mackmif.l a Cannibal. MACKEREL are said to he fond of human lltlli. pon toppic'an informs us, that a Tai lor belonging to a fiiip liy ing in one of the harbouis on the coalt of Norw ay, went into the water to wash himlelf; when he was suddenly milled by his companions. In the courle of a few minutes, however, he was leen on the furface with vail numbers of these fifh fall tened on him. The people went in a boat to his affiflance; and thongh, when they got him up, they forced with home dif ficulty •he fifhes ‘ ora him they found it was too .ate ; for the poor letlow very Ihorily after’ wards expired. •S'S’ / r /-y.
