Tat?o, a crealurs a delicately moulded as if,
like Peri?, he had fed upon nothing grower than
the brenth of flowers, wearing out the bo.-t j
years of hifi life in the gloom of a dungpon ; Ra
cine hurried to his grave by the rebuke of a
eflrilcfs k i 'iff ; Chatterton, at rnk'n'ght, liorno
less and hungry, bathing the unpitying "tonea
' tondon with the hot toara of anguish and des
pair; Johnson at the aye of thirty-six dining

fie was tew shabbily dressed to appear at the
table; Burns tools from the plough which he
kid "followed in glory and in joy upon the
mountain 6idc,"to gunge !e firkins and watch
t contraband tobacco.
The falae position in which men of peniiio
so o'tcn find themselves plticcs', in relation to
their are, nnd the painful and protracted effort
they must make in order to fain a true one, have
tjiven to modern literature some of its promi
nent characteristic?. Hence that half-unconscious
sympathy which poots feci with charac
ter like Rob'n Hood, Rob Roy end Charles de
Moor, who embody a proteat against their
timet ; who mean like Jack Cade, "to dress the
commonwealth and turn it and er t a new nap
upon it ;" who presume to borrow a daring ex
pression of Schiller's to grind down tho gaps
in the sword of Almighty juliee. Hence
much ofthat dreary melancholy, which orrsha
rfowrd the mind oftho stout-hearted and pious
Johnson, whise sombre hue darkens the pages
i'f his Rambler, and Rntsehi, and is concentra
ted in that celebrated coup! t, ;n which the
words seem to fall like drcpa uf blood from s
lacerated hea;t :
But ah ! whit UN tbe 'cbolai's life assail,
Toil, envy, want, the patron and the j il.
To this source we may trace, in part, that
personal element which glows so intensely in
the lyric poftry of Schiller, and even sickness
o'er hisothcrw ise admirable dramas. This, too,
gave something of their depth and sternness to
the powerful pictures of Crabbe. Hence that
numerous tribe of poets and roe'.e-'tera, who,
of late years, have so filled the groves of Par
nassus with their melancholy notes, as sad if
not as sweet, as those of the nightingale, whose
young affections are evr runn:ng to waste, up
on whose whithercd hearts the dew of hope can
never fall, and who are ever longing to be a
breeze, a cloud, a wave, or a sound ; something
that shall not have nerves to fool and a heart to
ache.

on (he night of (he 2Gth of A ugnst. while taking in

yet no lovs of life was rustained.

the fire broke out. Tho ship continued to burn

V r.re happy to learn, borever, that Mr. Citsh
