VOL. XLIX. fifcLed poetry. {Hr The following exquisite poem, is extracted from the Dublin Nation. It will be read and re read by all who can. appreciate the genuine Irish grief and fondness breathed in every line : Wight Wat til ins. Good night, good night, acushla machree, Dark is the night which is setting for me, And my tears that are falling so quietly Will gush in a torrent soon. There is no one beside me to cheer me to-night- No one to tell me God’s will is right; But I know ’tis a deadly sin to fright The soul which is going to Him. So I hold my peace, and in murmurs low, Till none could guess I am grieving so ; To Him and his angels I tell my woe, And pray for the soul departing. He was my all in the world below, No other friend did I seek or know, But I will not grudge him to Heaven now, i Since ’tis God’s high will to take him Long, long the. dark night seems to stay, Yet more I dread the morning gray, For the weakening breath will have chill’d away Ere its full rays brighten round him. He will not bid me cease to moan ; My sorrow must now be all my own, My darkest grief I must bear alone, Astor machree, you’re going. I will watch no more with longing ear* The fall o'f your proud light foot to hear, When your quiet home you are drawing near ; Oh!—dark ’twill be without vou, 1 will thrill no more to your words so fond, Nor proudly think how a fairy’s wand Could never bring me a joy beyond The bliss of being near you. 1 will hold my head less lofty now, VVlitn you are laid in the church-yard low— Too mut,li I gloried long ago In the happy lot God gave me. No more for ine is the laugh and song; But still as the darkening night comes on, The neighbors will see me creep along To the cold ground where you’re laying. And they’ll tell the young how my heart beat high And the flashing joy was in mine eye, And small thought of care or death hud I, When first wo two wore plighted. Select Scale. The following' capital story appeared in Blurt: • wood's Magazine several years ago. Unlike many old stories, it will be rc-road with greut interest: Tlie Find mid bunt Dinner. A TA LK Of LI PH. 1 Twelve friend*, much about the Marne ugt>, inul fixed, by their punmit*, their family connexion*, and other local intercKts, ah permanent inhabitant* of tho metropolis, agreed, one day when they were drinking their wine at the Star and Garter at Rich* mond, to institute an annual dinner among them selves, under the following regulations: That they should diue alternately at each others houses on the first and last day of the year; that the first bottle of wine uncorked at the first dinner, should be re corked and put away, to be drank by him who should be the last of their number; that they should never admit a new member, that w’Ken one died, eleven were to meet, and so on; and that wdien only one remained, he should on those two days, dine by himself, and sit the usual hours at his solitary table, but the first time he so dined alone, lest it should be the only one, he should then uncork the first bottle, and in the first glass, drink to the me* mory of all who were gone. There was something original and whimsical in the idea,and it was eagerly embraced. They were all in the prime of life, closely attached by recipro cal friendship, fond of social enjoyments, and looked forward to their future meeting.with unalloyed an ticipations of pleasure. The ofily thought, indeed 5 that could have darkened those anticipations, was one not like to intrude itself at this moment, that of the hapless wight who was destined to uncork the first glass at his lonely repast. It.was high summer when this frolic compact was entered into; and as^*their pleasure yacht skimmed along the dark bosom of the Thames, on their return to London, they talked of nothing but their first and last feasts of ensuing years. Their imaginations ran out with a thousand gay predic tions of festive merriment. They wantoned in conjectures of w'hat changes time would create. “As for you, George,' 5 exclaimed one of the twelve, addressing his brother-in-law, ‘ : T expect I shall see you as dr}*, withered and shrunken as an old eel skin, your mere outside of a manf M and he accompanied the words with a hearty slap on the shoulder. George Fortescue was leaning carelessly over ihe side of the yacht, laughing the londestof any at the conversation which had been carried on. The sudden munual salutation of his brother-in-law threw him off his balance, and in a moment he was over board, They heard the heavy splash of his fall, before they could he said to have seen him fall. The yacht was proceeding swiftly along; but It was instantly stopped, The utmost eonuternatlon now prevailed, It was nearly dark, but Furtesciie was known to be an excellent swimmer, and startling as the accident was they felt cermln he would regain the vessel, They could not see hint, They listened, They beard the sound of his hands and thet, An answer was returned, but In a faint, gurgling voice, and the exclamation "Oh Godl" struck upon their ears In an instant, two or three, who were expert swim mers, plunged into the river, and swam towards the spot whence the exclamation had proceeded. One of them was within arm's length of Fortescue; he saw him; before he could be reached, he went down and his distracted friend beheld the eddying_circles of the wave just over the spot where he had sunk. Hcf dived after him, and touched the bottom;' but the tide must have drifted the body onward, for it could not be found! They proceeded to one of the nearest stations where drags where kept, and having procured the necessary apparatus, they proceeded to the fatal spot. After the lapse of above an hour, they sue ~ ceeded in raising the lifeless body of their lost friend. All the usual remedies were employed for restoring suspended animation but in vain; they now pur sued the remainder of their course to London, in mournful silence, with the corpse of him who had commenced the day of pleasure with them ill the fulness of health, of spirits, and of life!* And in their severe grief they could not but reflect how soon one of the joyous twelve had slipped out of this, little festive circle. The months rolled on, and cold December came with all its cheering round of kindly greetings and merry hospitalities; and with it came a softened recollection of the fate of poor Fortescue; eleven of the twelve assembled on the last day of the year, and it was impossible not to feel their loss as they sat down to djnner. The very irregularity of the table, five on one side and six on the other, forced the melancholy event upon their memory. A decorous sigh or two, a low, becoming ejacu lation. and an instructive observation upon the un certainty of life, made up the sum of tender pos thumous “offering to the manes of poor George Fortescue," as they proceeded to discharge the more important duties for which they had met. By the time the third glass of champaigne had gone.round, in addition to the potations of fine old hock, and “capital madeira," they had ceased to discover any thing so very pathetic in the inequality of the two sides of the table, or so melancholy in their crippled number of eleven. Several years had elapsed, and our eleven friends kept up their double anniversaries as they might aptly enough be called, with scarcely any percepti ble change. But, alas! there came one dinner at last, which was darkened by a calamity they never expected to'witness; for on that day, their triend, companion, brother, almost, was hanged! Yes, Stephen Rowland, the wit, the oracle, the life of their circle, had, on the morning of that day for feited his life upon a public scaffold, for having made one single stroke of his pen in a wrong place, [n other words, a bill of exchange which passed into his hands for £7uQ, passed out of it for £1,700. It would be injustice to the ten to say, that even wine, friendship and a, merry season, could not dispel the gloom which pervaded this dinner. It was agreed before hand, that they should not allude to the distressing and melancholy theme; and having thus interdicted the only things which really occu pied all their thoughts, the natural consequence was, that;silent contemplation look the place of dismal discourse; and they separated long before midnight. Some fifteen years haft now glided away since the'Jute of Rowland, and the ten remained; but the stealing hand of time had written sundry chan ges in most legible, characters. Raven locks had become grizzled, two or throe heads had not us many locks altogether as may be reckoned in a walk of half a mile along the Regent’s ('anal—one was actually covered with a brown wig, the crow’s feet were visible in the corner of the eye—good old port and wurm madeim carried it against hock» claret, and red burgundy, and chumpalgne, stew#) hashes, and ragouts,; grew into favor—crusts were rarely called for to relish the cheese after dinner— conversation grew less boisterous, and it turned chielly on politics and the state oi the funds, or the value of landed property—apologies were rriude for coming in thick shoes and warm stockings— the doors and windows were most carefully pro* vided with list and sand bugs—the tire more in re* quest—and. a quiet gume of whist tilled up the hours thut were wont to be devoted to drinking, singing, and riotous merriment. The rubbers, a cup of eolJi-'e, and at home by 11 o'clock, wni the usuul cry, when the tilth or sixth glass hud gone round after the removal of the doth. At porting, too, ' there was a long ceremony in the hall, buttoning up great coats, tying on woolen comforters, fixing silU nv*»r tho »«»...*U nn.l »•• ♦ *-- ears, grasping sturdy walking canes to support un steady feet. I Their fiftieth anniversary came, and death had indeed been busy. Fpur little old men of withered appearance and decrepit walk, with cracked voices and dim, rayless eyes, sat down by the mercy of Heaven, (as they themselves tremulously declared,) to celebrate, for the fiftieth time, the first day of the year, to ob serve the frolic compact which, half a century be- I fore they had entered into at the Star and Garter at Richmond. Eight were in their graves! The four that remained stood upon its confines. Yet* they chirped cheerily over their glass, though they could scarcely carry it to their lips, if more than half full; and cracked their jokes, though they articulated their words with difficulty and heard each other with still greater difficulty. They mumbled, they chattered, they laughed, if a sort of strange wheezing might be called a laugh; and when the wines sent their icy blood in warmer pulses through their veins, they talked of the past as if it were but yesterday that had slipped by them—and of the future as if if were a busy cen. tury that day before them. They were just the number for a quiet rubber of whist; and for three successive years they sat down to one. The fourth came, and then their rubber was played 'with an open dummy; a fifth, and whist was no longer practicable; two could play only at cribbage, and cribbage was the game. But it was little more than the mockery of play. Their palsied hands could hardly hold, or their fading sight distinguish the cards, while their torpid facul ties made; them doze each deal. At length came the last dimer; and the survi vor of the twelve, upon whose head four score and ten winters had showered their snow, ute his soli tary meal. It so chanced that itjwas in his house and at his table, they had celcbrafwhfthn first. In his cellai too, had remained for eight and fifty years, the bottle they hud uncorked, recorked, and which he was that day to uncork again. It stood beside him; with a feeble and reluctant grasp, he took the frail memorial of a youthful vow, ami fur a moment memory whs (Ultliftil to her office, Mie threw open her long vista of hurled years} ami his heart travelled through them all, Their lusty ami bllfhsfmie spring, their bright anfttervlft summer= their ripe and temperate antumh=tlmlr chill hut mn too teen winter, He saw, as In a mirror, how one by onMlm laughing companions of the merry hour, at Richmond, haft dropped into uter* nlty, He felt all’the loneliness of his condition, (for he haft eschewed marriage, anft in the veins of no living creature ran.a drop of blood whose source was in his own;) and as he drained a glass which he filled,! 11 to the memory of those who were gone,” the tears slowly trickled down the deep furrows of vis aged face. He had thus fulfilled one part of his vow, and lie prepared himself to discharge the other, by sitting the usual number of hours at his desolate table. With a heavy heart he resigned himself to the gloom of his own thoughts—a lethargic sleep stole over him—his head fell upon his bosom—confused Images crowded into his mind—he babbled by him self—was silent—and when his servant entered the room, alarmed by a noise which heard, he lound his master stretched upon the carpet at the foot of the easy chair, and out of which ho had slipped in an apopletic fit. He never spoke again, - nor once opened his eyes, though the vital' spark was not still extinct till the following day. And this, was the last supper.
