(by MRS. CORNWALL BARO.V WILSON.) 

 And dost thou grudge the wreath of Fame, 



Upon the mitistrerii grave to lie ? 

 And dost thou grudge Uie Poet's name, 



To him, thus early doom'd to die ? 

 Alas — the child of genius knows, 



[low dearly are such honours won — 

 By faded cheeks— by lost repose — 



By life extinguish'd ere begun I 



Beside his lamp, at midnight hour. 



Learning's pale m.irlyr sat and kept 

 Vigils of soul-inspii ing power, 



While those less gifted slept ! 

 'Twas then, he turn'd the classic page, 



Wlien favouring silence reign'd around ! 

 Then pored o'er many an ancient sage, 



And trod on sacred giouud I 



Yes '. 'twas in midnight's hallowing gloom, 

 • Wasting life's dim and feeble fire, 

 The poet dug his early tomb. 



And woke his plaintive lyre ! 

 Then, — his heart burn'd o'er Homer's theme. 



Or wept with Briton's matchless child, 

 By Avon's fairy-haunted stream, 



Echoing liis ^^ wood-nott s wild I" 



None but the child of genius knows 



How dearly are such honouis won — 

 B^fa^ed cheeks — by lost repose — 



By life extinguished ere begun ! 

 Then do not grudge the wreath of Fame 



Upon her Henry's grave to lie ; 

 Like spring's first flowers, the poet came, 



To blossom — and to die ! 



I twelve paces, and exchanged one inefiectu-al shot, 

 ; the police being all the time in hot pursuit. 



London papers estimate Mr Beaumont's election 

 I e.Kpenses for Northumberland at $337,000, Mr 

 i Liddell and Mr Bell, !i?135,000, each, and Lord

Tf'ar against the Sivinish Multitude. — As the 

 hogs have recently become exceedingly bold, not 

 regarding tiio laws of our city, or the worshipful I 

 I makers thereof, the Mayor yesterday directed the ; 

 marshals and constables to prepare for fatigue du- ! 

 ' ty and have the hog carts brought forth for service I 

 ! this morning. Our citizens, therefore, may count 

 I upon louder music to-day, than the musquetos 

 1 made last night, and there will be greater discords. 

 I By the bye, we never saw the harmony of the po- 

 ! lice officers so much disturbed, as last evening, 

 j while dwelling upon the mayor's order, and the 

 1 anticipated horrors of to-day. The terrors of 

 bludgeons and butcherknives, pikes and pistols, 

 were nothing in comparison with their dread of 

 their new duty: and from their language you would 

 'have sworn that any two oftliem would sooner at- 

 tempt to rescue a robber from the body guard of Sa- 

 tan himself,than to fill a single hog cart. Fortunate- 

 ly, hon'ever,the mayor's order was percmpiory,and 

 the officers will be obliged to clear the city of the 

 swine, or clear out of office themselves. After 

 this week, therefore, our Philadelphia friends may 

 rest assured that hogs will no longer be seen run-

 while moving with his portable ware-house through

 scendant of St. Crispin, or in other words, a pretty
