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.

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

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.
Queeh.— 11 Reuben, you seem to gain flesh every
day the grocery business must agree with you.—
What did you weigh last?” “Well, Simon, 1 really
forget now, but it strikes me it -was a pound of
butter.”

The Art-Union is established for the purpose of
extending a love for the fine arts throughout the
United States, and to give encouragement to Ar
tists heVbnd that afforded by the patronage of indi-
lts promoters believe that these arts can
never attain their due rank in this country (already
so far advanced inimany of the other elements of
civilization) until adequate encouragement be given
to the highest efforts of the Painter and Sculptor.
For the accomplishment of this object, the Soci
ety has adopted the following
PLAN :
jjjl. Each subscriber of Five Dollars becomes a
member of the Art-Union for one year.
The money thus obtained i? applied, first, to the
procuring of a large and costly Engraving, from an
original American Picture, of which every member
receives a copy ; and next, to the purchase of Pic
tures, Drawings, or other wflfrks of Art, with the
funds distributed by lot among the members for
that purpose. "1
Thus, for the.-sum of Five Dollars, every member
is sure of receiving a fine Engraving (worth alone
the amount of his subscription) and the chance of
obtaining a fine original Painting, to be SELECTED
BY HIMSELF from any piiblic exhibition ip the
United States.
For further particulars call.at the Painting Room
of the undersigned, where can be seen a specimen
of the engraving, and where subscriptions are re
ceived for the same. ' A. ARMSTRONG.
