THE ROSES. 

 Translated from the Dutch of BiUerdjick. 

 T «aw them once blowing, 

 While morning was glowing, 

 iut now are their withered leaves strewed o'er the 

 ground, 

 For tempests to play on, 

 For cold worms to prey on, 

 Ths shame of our garden that triumphs around. 



Their buds which then flourish'd. 



With dew drops were nourish'd. 

 Which turn'd into pearls as thi y fell from on high ; 



Their hues are now banish'd, 



Their fragrance all vanish'd, 

 Kre evening a shadow has cast from the sky. 



I saw, too, whole rices 



Of glories and graces 

 Thus open and blossom, but quickly decay ; 



And smiling and gladness 



In sorrow and sadness, 

 £ie life reacli'd its twilight, fade dimly away. 



Joy's light hearted dances 



And melody's glances 

 Are rays of a moment — are dying when bom ; 



And pleasure's best dower 



Is nought but a flower, 

 'A vanishing dew drop — a gem of the morn. 



The bright eye is clouded. 



Its brilliancy shrouded. 

 Our strength disappears — we are helpless and Icne ; 



No reason avails us, 



.\nd intellect fail« us, 

 iuife's spirit is wasted, and darkness comes on. 



CHILDHOOD. 



Childhood 1 happiest stage of life, 

 Tree from care and free from strife ; 

 Free from memory's restless reign, 

 Fraught with scenes of former pain ; 

 J^ree from fancy's cruel skill, 

 Fabricating fniure ill ; 

 Time, when all that meet? the vieiv, 

 AH can charm, for all is new; 

 How (hy long-lost hours I mourn, 

 Never, never to return 1 



Then to loss the circling ball. 

 Caught rebounding from (lie wall » 

 'I'hen the mimic ship to guide. 

 IJown the kennel's dirty side ; 

 Then the hoop's revolving pace. 

 Through the dusty street to chace ; 

 O '. what joy it once was mine. 

 Childhood 1 matchh-is boon of thine.; 

 How thy long-lost hour* 1 mourn. 

 Never, never to return !

French, while in Egypt, frequently esca()ed the 

 diseases of the country, by carrying pepper with 

 them to eat with the fruits of the land. Purg- 

 ing physic should also occasionally be taken ; 

 as any medicine of a laxative nature by preven- 

 ting cosliveness, will art as a preservative from 

 this disease. A militia Captain in the year 1778, 

 while stationed at Amboy, i)resRrved his 



ant, Mrs. Poole, used a great deal of action. — 

 No, no, a civil action. — Oh dear me, her action 

 was very uncivil. I mean a civil cause. The 

 only cause I know of was the causeway from 

 which Mrs. Poole threw me.'"
