"«* To friendship didst thou trust thy fame I < And was thy friend a deadly foe ? «* Who stole into thy arms , to aim " A sur ^ r blow \ & Live ! and repine not at his los ^ ,
" A loss unworthy to be told y ** Thou hadst mistaken sordid dross " For sterling gold . * Go seek that treasure , seldom found , " Of power the £ ercest grief to calm , < And sooth the bosom ' s deepest wound
" With heav e nly balm ! « In woman hadst thou placed thy bliss , *• ' And did the fair-one faithless prove ? * ' Hath she betrayed thee with a kiss , " And sold thy love I w JLove ! ' twas a false bewildering fire :
" Too often love ' s insidious dart ** Thrills the fond soul with sweet de-< 5 sire , « But ' kills the heart ! « A nobler Same shall warm thy breast ,
* ' A brighter maiden ' s virtuous . " charms ; ** Blest shalt thou be , supremely blest ' In beauty ' s arms !

The Letter without a Signature ^ is , we are sorry to say , so loosely and carelessly written , that we could not , without bestowing more labour upon it than we can afford , make it fit for insertion in the Monthly Repository . We never reject a Communication simply because it is not elegantly written ; but we are bound in justice to out readers and ourselves , not to suifer our work to sink beneath the
common standard of periodical publications . We have received the following Communications from the ^ Rev . J . Holland , of which the first-mentioned will appear as early as possible : —Remarks on Orton * s Letters , as published by Mjr . Palmer . —Reflections on the Decline and Fall o £ Empires . Observations on Sunday Schools . —And Advice to Parents who Decline for their Children Baptism by Water .
"We are sorry to remark of the Poetical Advice to a Female Friend on the Choice of a Hitrband , that ; tiie excellence of the advice does not atone for the badness oLthe poetry . We acknowledge with great satisfaction the receipt of an Original Letter of the celebrated . Laurence Sterne 3 from a very valuable correspondent , which wiii appear in a , n early number ; as will , also , the Original Letters of the late Archbuhp Neivcome * communicated by the Rev . Dr . Toulmin * We need not say that such communications as these will he as gladly received by our readers as by ourselves .

*< Whate « v er thy lot , who& ' cr thou fee * «• Confess th y folly , Juss the rod ; " " And in thy cna t ' ning sorrows see " The hand of God ! ** A bmbed reed he will not break * ?' ¦ Afflictions all his chi dren feel ;
u wounds them for his mercy ' s sake ^» He wounds to heal ! < c Humbled beneath his mighty hand * * ' Prostrate , hi > providence adore ^ ** 'Tis donq-w-arise—he bids thee stand 4 < To fall no more .
K Now traveller in this vale of tears , u To reams of everlasting lights ( C Thro * time * s dark wilderness of year $ « fc Pursue thy flight !** There is ? l , calm for those that weep , A rest for weary pilgrims found ,
And while the mould e ring ashes sleep Low in the ground , The soul , of origin divine , God s glorious image , free'd from clay t In heav ' n ' s eternal sphere shall shine
A star of day ! The sun is bjut a spark of fire , A transient meteor in the sky ; The soul , immortal as its sire , Shall never die !
