Translations from the Portuguese . Night . t Now joyful Cynthia , beautiful and bright , Clad in her vestal robes of placid light , And scattering" splendour , silvers as she flies £ Tbe nurge-like clouds that roll along the skies ; By the immortal steeds of midnight
driven , She rides across th' eternal field of heaven ; Whilr gleams of fire are glancing from afar , And glory gilds and gladdens every star . ^ - A .

Poetry . From Old 3 fanu $ cripJs r Wareham , Feb . 9 , 181 * 7 ' . Sir , 1 HAVE lately met with some old manuscripts . — Of ibeir author I am ignorant . —Their apparent age i ? a sufficient excuse for the qtiaVntoess ' of their style . I should not , however , have obtruded any of them upon your

Tbe hearrenly spheres to Thee , O God ! attune their evening hymn , All-wise , All-holy , Thou art praised in song- of seraphim ; Unj ^ urabered systems , buus and worlds unite to worship Thee , WbHe thy majestic greatness fills space— - time , —eternity .
Nature , — a temple worthy Thee , that beams with light and love , Whose flowers so sweetly bloom !> clow , whose stars rejoice above ; Whose altars are tbe mountain cliffs that rise along" the shore , Whose anthems the sublime accord of storm and ocean roar .
Her sot \ % of gratitude is sung T > y spriug ' s awakening hours , Her summer offers at thy shrine its earliest , loveliest flowers ; X ^ r autumn brings its ripened fruits in glorious luxury given , While winter ' s silver heights reflect Thy brightness back to heaven !
On all Thou smil ' st- —and what is man , before Thy presence God ? A breath but yesterday inspired , —to morrow but a clod : Ttoat clod * hall moulder in the vale , —till kindled , Lord , by Thee , Its spirit to Thy arms shall epring , —to life , —to liberty . R .
