LINES ON A BEE-HIVE . V Yjb musical hounds . of the fairy King , Who hunt for the golden dew , Who track for your game the green coverts of spring *
Till the echoes that lurk m the flower-bells ring , With the peal of your elfin crevv ! How joyous your life , if its pleasures ye knew , Singing ever from bloom to bloom I Ye wander the summer year ' s paradise through , , The souls of the flowers are the viands for you , And the air th ^ t you breathe perfume .
But unenvied your joys , ' . while the richest you miss , And before you no brighter life lies : — Who would part with his cables for enjoyment like this , When the tears that embitter the pure spirits bliss May be pearls in the crowa of the skies ? Or edit on .

FRAGMENT On entering a Place of fForship alone , on the Evening of a Week-day , Ait hushed ! With what a thrilling deadness falls The footstep echoing * round the dusky walls !—Mysterious dews shed round an icy balm
That strikes th ^ checked heart with electric calm ^ The breath of desolation chills the pile , And silence muses in the glimmering aisle . Yet , though the spot , so dim , so void and still , Fling o ' er the heart a moment ' s transient chill , There is not in that lone and mellowed gloom Aught of the cold forlornness of the tomb ;
And , though 'tis silent as the last mute bed , Death is riot here—but Life awhile is fled . In such a haunt pale Thought might wish to dwell , And paler Sorrow find a welcome cell . Creditor * . ,

Mar . 12 , at Sheffield , in the 61 st year of his age , Mr . John Fox , a member , an elder , and a trustee of the Presbyterian Chapel in that town . He was educated in the doctrines of the Church of England , and was an exemplary attendant
for many years on its form of worship : but disapproving" of many things in both , he withdrew from it—yet he withdrew in the spirit of peace ; and neither fell nor expressed any illiberal sentiments towards that communion from which * hc
thought it to be his duty to separate . Launched upon the world in early life ? with no resources but those of his own
