setteth up kings,) Mr. Hawkes makes some judicious and truly pious reflections on the late mortality in the Royal Family. He portrays the character of the late King with a friendly but discriminating pencil, and expresses some truly Christian wishes for the surviving members of his illustrious house. He says faithfully, "Great and important indeed will be the force of their elevated example, whichever way it may preponderate may they, therefore, become truly sensible of its consequences; for if it be in favour of genuine Christianity, in the full extent of its practical influences, they will become burning and shining lights to the world, and most extensive blessings to the nation: but if, on the contrary, they live as without God in the world, their practical Atheism will prove more injurious to the honour and interests of Christianity, and to the religious and moral character of the lower orders of the people, than the most specious and subtle of those writings for the suppression of which they have lately shewn so much anxiety."-P. 13.

EPITAPH ON THE DEATH OF THE INQUISITION. Published at Madrid, March, 1820. With a Translation. Yace aqui para siempre ¡Oh, caminantes! La Negra Inquisicion, donde inclementes, Egoistas infames la aclamáron, Los sabios con razon la aborrecieron Here wanderers! in eternal slumber lies The black tribunal !-in whose gloomy cell Whole holocausts of virtuous victims Prey of its licensed inhumanities ! By tyrants in their tott'ring weakness courted; The shrine of darkness, hatreds, infa mies. By knowledge and by truth detested, fear'd: Riensi riemuhun jaholon, Wapantehen waelsi, Elemæstæ surkiasta, Næistæ mailman majoista. Down from heav'n then came a mandate, From the Universe-Supporter : Grief enough-enough of sadness. The harmony of the Finnish Runes consists not only in their measured syllables, but in the artificial repetition of the same sound, of which there are some striking examples in the above fragment; as for instance, pæællæ pœæsin pæiwæ Pææsæ pæiwiste pahoista. In the inhospitable regions of the North, song has been called an "universal element," and many of the Finnish Runes, consisting of several hundred stanzas, have been orally conveyed down to our times, from a period of very remote antiquity, and in a state of perfectness, of which it would be difficult to furnish any other example. Runes, wholly founded on the mythology of distant centuries, are often heard even now from the lips of the Finnish peasants. Kawe, the father of the gods; Wainæmainen, the spirit of good and the inventor of the harp; Hiisi, the omnipotent principle of evil, and Kiwutar, the divine mother, seem only to have transferred their attributes to other names introduced by Christianity, while in some of their songs the heathenish notions of A Madrileño is an inhabitant of the poet are most strangely blended with Madrid. + Runo is the Finnish name for a song; the singer or poet is called Runolainen. the enlightening influence of a purer system. J. B. Warwick, Feb. 8, 1820. When care sits heavy on my heart, And all my soul is sunk in sorrow; When evils dire assail to-day, Or pain, in prospects of to-morrow: Oh, then! Religion's pow'rful charm, Dispels at once all gloomy sadness; Reanimates my frame, and fills My breast with peace and joy and gladness. E'en thus-when Winter's chilly hand, Despoils the scenes which once delighted; And Nature's rich and blooming sweets, A SIMILE. E. W. sprent spot Though late the promise of the vernal year, Yet warmer suns shall swell the ripening bloom: But mortal hopes-when brightest they appear, Gleam for an hour-then, sink in sudden gloom. Beneath his proper home; there is his O Thou! whose spirit lives no more be heart, Thither tend all his wishes, one sole thought Ling'ring here to flee-and be in heaven. T. J. C. low |
