LINES ON THE DEATH OF L. E. L. "A star hath left the kindling sky- But that has left the night!"-L. E. L. A gentle lady, newly wed, Far from her native shore, Went with the partner of her bed, Fixed on the cliffs of England's shore, That loved one's eyes were kept; And fondly turn'd and gaz'd upon And safely o'er a thousand waves, Sickness, and deeper mental pain, That "Lost One" suffer'd long; Nor hope, nor health, return'd again, To bless the Child of song. O life thou'rt but a dream of dreams!- To marry an actress for the admiration she excites on the stage is to imitate the the man who bought Punch.

How pleasantly doth roll along The picture of the Misers, by Quintin Matsys, seems to proceed upon a wrong idea. It represents two persons of this description engaged and delighted with the mutual contemplation of their wealth. But avarice is not a social passion; and the true miser should retire into his cell to gloat over his treasures alone, without sympathy or observation. Those who are fond of setting things to rights, have no great objection to seeing them wrong. There is often a good deal of spleen at the bottom of benevolence.

It is hardly necessary to state, that these sketches are taken from the po pular romance of " Rookwood ;" the author as well as the readers of which must be highly delighted by the vivid and characteristic manner in which the extraordinary incidents of this matchless feat, whether as regards the daring intrepidity of the rider, or the remarkable symmetry and lasting qualities of the mare, are pourtrayed. Each suc hibited treated by the artist with a happy knowledge of pictorial effect, and tells the story with an accuracy, which all who have read the romance will readily appreciate. The series commence with the start from Kilburn Wells, where Turpin had been carousing with some of his brother blades, and was suddenly alarmed by the arrival of the traps.
