Yet sooner , methints , thy misfortunes shall end . Thou hast lost but thy Tenant ; but I ' ve lost my friend ! Tho * in solitude now we brood o ' er our sad fate ; Yet jocund we ' ve been!—nor remote is the date :
Thy Tenant was social , unbiass ed , and kind ; My Friend was adorned with each grace of the mind . But why do I think of those halcyoa days ? ¦ . . . Those few happy weeks—they are pass'd as a blaze ! ' ¦
Thy gloom , lonely Mansion ! shall soog have an end : Thouhast , lost but thy Tenant ; " but IVe lost my friend !

To the Editor of the Monthly Repository . SIR , Should you think the following lines worthy insertion , others shall follow from the same hand : they are original , and the production of youth , S . G . F .
RUBEN and MIRANDA , Beneath a lilac ' s fragrant shade , Ov erspreading Avon ' s tide , Reclining lay a lovely maid , Her watch-dog by her side . Her straggling flock were grazing fligh t All hush'd in silence round , She thought on Ruben , breath'd a sigh , Shrill Echo caught the-sound .

collier , now residing in a small cottage , at the bottom of a very deep valley , a few miles distant from Macclesfield in Cheshire : they are the first and second efforts only of this deserving youth ; and should you be disposed to think , as highly of the poetry as I do of the virtuous
author , you will not hesitate in giving the pieces a place in your valuable Magazine , by which you will afford encouragement to the talents of a worthy , selftaught genius , and at the same time confer an obligation on , Your humble servant ,
Aug . 7 , 1806 . ~ " J . Nightengale , Lines written the Morning after a Country Wake . Axp now is the riotous revelry past , The topers in silence must xnourn :
The joys and the pleasures they fancied . ' so vast , Are sunk to the realms of oblivion at last : They arc gone—never more to return !
Their joys and their pleasures are center * d in wine : How transient , alas ! and how vain ! O , never , kind Heaven ! let such pleasures be mine ! Rather doom me in pain and affliction
to pine ; But let me my reaso n retain ! Stanzas , addressed to the deserted House of a Friend . Oh , let me , lone Mansion ! with thee sympathise ; From the . same mournful source my misfortunes arise i
