"The Birmingham Exhibition presents many views of a local nature, and of course endeared to the inhabitants. The works of amateurs are particularly worthy of notice, and reflect on them the highest credit. Having been favoured with a view of the room, we can assure our readers that the pictures, models, &c. are well worthy their inspection. The works of the associates embrace the higher branches of the art as well as portraits, of which there are several that seem to speak to the spectator-so exquisitely is the mind embodied. Upon the whole, although the Collection is not extensive, and which from the infancy of the institution could not be expected, yet will the admirer of native talent find much to commend. The elevation of the intended building is a most chaste design, and will be as ornamental to the town as the institution will be found

and elevate the character of our merchandise, and excite competition by public en couragement."-Birmingham Chronicle.

"Nor shalt thou moulder 'neath the sod,
"Without one sorrowing song."

[ocr errors]

Past were the pangs that rent thy stricken frame,

And health resum'd her abdicated throne;

The cheek of pallid hue--the heart of flame-.

The livid lip, and fever-fiend, were flown. Hope wav'd awhile her golden wings around, But stern Affliction mark'd thy fleeting breath,

And with his finger, stooping to the ground, Wrote on thy dust the characters of death. Thy relics slumber in the mould'ring fane ; Yet shall not grief unhallow'd incense raise: The loud lament that mourns the dead is vainVain is the song that boasts a mortal's praise. But who, with rugged breast, can bear unmov'd The loss of all the joys that friendship gave? Can yield a dear companion, friend belov'd,

Unwept, unpitied, to the silent grave? There are, who keenly felt thy sad decay-Enjoy'd thy converse--listen'd to thy strains-Shed tears of sorrow on thy dying day, And sigh'd with anguish o'er thy coldremains.

There are, who, in reflection's secret hour, With pensive joy thy mem'ry will prolong; And, pond'ring on the past, recal thy pow'r

In many a moral lay and sacred song. Nor yet unmindful, 'mid the sorrowing band, His pray'r shall rise, while bending o'er thy bier,

Who frames, with vacant heart and listless hand,

This rude memorial of regret sincere. Not that thy virtues unimpair'd may live, Wafted on wings of sublunary fame; But that thy Maker may thy faults forgive,

And in the Book of Life inscribe thy name. Mysterious Pow'r, whom myriad worlds adore! In dark obscurity thy judgments fly; E'en Pain, at thy command, may peace restore, And Mercy hurl the death-bolt from on high. Destroying Angels, of celestial birth, May hear with joy the dread commission giv'n;

And, e're they snatch a “Gleaner” from the earth,

Prepare a harvest of delight in Heav'n.

We are concerned to observe, that the success of those excellent institutions, the BIBLE SOCIETIES, appears to have created great uneasiness in an orthodox correspondent of the Gloucester Herald, who loudly proclaims, "that they consist of Presbyterians, Quakers, Anabaptists, Independents, Doughty Wights of a mongrel nature, who rail at the established clergy, Republicans and Fanatics." In short, if our worthy friend, Mr. John Reeves, was not himself a printer of bibles, we should apprehend, from the terrors expressed by this "CANTAB," that counter-associations might be formed through the nation to put down the Bible, as a book inimical to the safety of the church.
