      TO JIT WIFE . And what was the world to me , love , Or why shonld its honours divide The feelings that cent ' rcd in thee , love , -As fondly you clung to my side ? Or why shonld ambition or glory E ' er tempt me to wander so far , Por sake of distinction in story , Prom thee , my love ' s true polar star ? Or , why should I call thee my own , dear , To sport with the life that was thine , Or risk , for a land overthrown , dear , Astake that no longer was mine ?

      Or , why should I pledge for the fallen , "What only belonged to the free ; For had I not gaged life and all on The faith that was plighted to thee ? And here while I wander alone , love , Beneath the cold shadows of night , Or lie with my head on a stone , love , Awaiting the dawning of light ; _Jly spirit nnthralled Is returning "Where free from the taint ofa slave , Thr beacon of love is still burning , To light , to direct me , and save . And she . " }; too , who watches beside thee , And loves as none others could love , To counsel , to cherish , to guide thee , To weep with , hut never reprove ; Yes . she too , is lone and unguarded ,

      The reed that she leant on is twain ; Tefc ihon « h her trust thus be rewarded She'd love that love over again . Micm-ei . Don _* m . The succeeding lines are from , the pen of another ofthe exiles who alsohappfly succeeded in escaping from his and his country ' s enemies :

      THE _SOXG OF THE EXILE . The moon ' s cheerless ray o ' er the streamlet was playing , "While silent and sad sat the bird on each tree ; And such was the time that a wanderer was straying Through far distant scenes in the land of the free z His eye that once hlazed when the battle was burning , _Ifow scarcely heamedforth adim light on his smile , And the sighs that arose from the depths of his mourning Proclaimed the sad soul of the lonely Exile . Far , far , he exclaimed , fi-om the scenes of my childhood-Prom the ties thai endeared me to _conniry and home : And here through the untrodden ways of the wild wood ,

      The tyrant has doomed me an exile to roam : 2 fo kind soothing smile _heee with gladness is glowing , This care-worn heart of its grief to beguile ; 5 or _hebe is the cup of true friendship o'crflowing _, To cheer the sad soul of the lonely Exile . The night breeze that blows o'er the breast ofthe billow , Slav softly have sighed through my desolate hall , Or _hreath'd o ' er the lute that hangs lone on the willow , "Where ivy has mantled the urn on the wall : Ton day star that springs o'er the mist of the mountain _ _ * ... .

      Has looked from its throne on my father ' s black pile , -..-.-Or dipped Its pale ray in the stream of the _-tountaxn , "Which flows _through thefields of ihelonely Exile . But never again will I look on that _dwelling , "Where harmonv lived round the spirit of the howl , And erst when the bard on his _liarp-strings was swellin * Those notes which aroused every joy of the soul Ah ! never _asain will my feelings awaken To pleasures that thrilled thro' my bosom awhile , Far , "for from my country—and sad and forsaken—I'm . doomed here to wander a lonely Exue . Thomas Dillok .

      The following fiery lines—true poetry—are from the pen ofthe talented founder ofthe " Nation , " whose fortunate escape from tiie clutches ofhis persecutors , all true men rejoice at : — ADDRESS OF ST . LAWRENCE TO THE

J But their King will be your father . Yea , and grant _ you many a grace—Gyves and fetters from the donjons ofhis own hegotten race ! Ok ! disdain this scheme to mesh you in a net of

Still you doubt ! then , royal Kbrman , reekin" red with holy blood , ° Come and lead to newer slaughter all your sacrile gious brood ; Come in triumph—here are bishops , worn to stone hy fast and prayer , None shall question " why you send them Beckett ' s bloody shroud to share .

      Aay , my children , if you doom us to themartvr ' a heavy crown , "With your own _dishonour'd weapons strike the priests and prelates down . Better tims than by the stranger , _hetler thus than being cursed "With that hideous daily torture—living on to know the worst . And the loyal wives who love you with a fond and generous truth , And the daughters who surround you , with the sunshine of their youth , Drag them to the carnal tyrant as he swoops upon your shore-Meekly you must do his pleasure , nor deny him evermore .

      Oh I forgive my rash injustice , Heber _' s blood is wroth at wrong . And I see you burn to grapple all the ills we bore solong : ¦ . . And you'll league , like royal brothers , till from joy-; ful shore to shore Princely rage indeed shall thunder , women ' s tears shall reign no more . Yes 1 like brothers ; let the Psalter link his name with fixed disgrace , "Who , when Eirinn waves her banner , strikes for region , elan , or race , Sot for Desmond , § not for Uladh , not for Ir or Eoghain _' ssced—Bat for ocean-girded Eirinn , must our gifted chieftains bleed .

      _Sloran ' s self-denying justice , Dathi ' s world-embracing fame , Fodhla ' s wisdom , Cormae _' s counsel , holy Padruic ' s sacred name— . And our dear land that gave us kindly culture , state , and gold , Oh I my children , need you stronger spell-words for the true and bold . Thus you match and over-match them , be they harnessed breasts and backs—Sever Norman forged a cuirass could resist an Irish ase ; And be sure your fiery clansmen soon shall mock at their array , As the cowards , clad in iron , fir to horse and ride away .

      And the dull and slavish Saxons , whipped and lashed hy 2 "forman hands , Trained to reek the wrongs they suffered on the breasts of kindredlands _; Trained , like mastiffs in the shambles , at a beck to rend and bite—As the wolves before the beagles , you shall track their bloody flight . Pause not till each Dun and Tower , planted by the stranger ' s hand , Blazes like a "Viking's beacon , guiding them from out the land ! Till the last of all the pirate 3 to their gaheys shall have fled , Shuddering at the dire Gal-tromba _]] as the trumpet ofthe dead .

      Thus shall you be free for ever , thus the promised day shall come , "When the children of the Soldier <[ guard a proud , untrammelled home ; Thus your memory of the present , like the prophet's joy , shall seem , "Who , oppressed with fearful danger , waked to find 'twas but a dream . The exhortation contained in the fifteenth verse ofthe " Address , " has often heen poured into Irish ears , hut in vain . From the days ef " Stronghow" to the present time , faction has been the curse of the land . Irishmen have been the great workers of then * own and their country ' s ruin , "For while their foemen joined in hate , They never joined in love . "

      The next poem is also fromthe pen of Mr _Dctty : — : _

      THE IRISH CHIEFS . Oh ! to have lived like an Irish Chief , when hearts were fresh and true , And a manly thought , like a _pealing bell , would quicken them through and through ! And one seed of a gen ' rous hope right soon to a fiery action grew , And then _woul-1 have scorned to talk , ana talk , and never a deed to do . Oh ! the iron grasp , And the kindly clasp , And the laugh so fond and gay ; And the roaring board , And thc ready sword , Were the types ofthat vanished day .

      Oh ! to have lived as Brian lived , and to die as Brian died ; His land to win with the sword , and smile as a . warrior wins his bride . j To knit its force in a kingly host , and rule it With kindy pride , And still in the girt of its guardian swords over victor fields to ride : And when age was past , And when death came fast , To look with a softened eye On a happy race "Who had loved his face , And to die as a king should die .

      Gh \ to have lived dear Owen's life—to live for a solemn end , ,... __ . ,, To strive for the ruling strength and skill God s saints to the chosen send ; And to come at length , with that holy strength , the bondage of fraud to rend , And pour the light of God s freedom in where -Tyrantsand Saves were denned ; And to bear the brand "With-an equal hand , like a soldier of Truth and Right , And oh ! Saints , to die , "While our flag flew high , "Nor to look on its fall or flight .

      Oh ! to have lived as Grattan lived , in the glow of " his manly years , , To thunder again those iron words that smite like the clash of spears ; Once more to blend for a holy end , our peasants , and priests , and peers , Till England raged , like a baffled fiend , atthe tramp of OUT volunteers . And , oh ! best of all , Far rather to fall ( With a hlesseder fate than he , ) On a conqu ering field , Than one right to yield , Of the Island so proud and free !

      Yet scorn to cry on the days of old , when hearts ' were fresh and true , „ . -ffhearis beweak , oh ! chiefly then the Missioned their work must do ; . . 2 for wants our day its own fit way , the want is in tou and tou ; ... _•»• _„ _™™ For these eyes have seen as kingly a King a _$ ever dear Erin knew . Uear And with Brian ' s will , And with Owen ' s skill , And with glorious Grattan ' s lore ,

      He had freed us soon—Bllt death darkened his noon , And he sits with the saints above

      Oh ! could you live as Davis lived—hind Heaven be his bed ! With an eye to guide , and a hand . " to rule , and a calm and a kingly head , And a heart from -whence , like A Holy Well , tho soul ofhis land was fed , _Xo need to cry on the days of old that your holiest hope be sped .

      Turn we now to the humbler rhymers of our own land . Here are some stirring lines from a working man , who has some ofthe right stuff in him , but he commits the mistake of writing too fast . Let him mature his every production with perfect care , and he in no haste to print until he has well thought on , and more than ouce re-written , his effusions , and he will yet win no mean share of popularity .

      LINGS ARE BUT GIA 3 _TTS BECAUSE WE KNEEL . Good people , put no faith in "Kings , nor merchant princes trust , Who grind your hearts in mammon ' s press , your faces in the dust ; Trust to your own stout hearts to break the tyrant's dark , dark ban , If yet one spark of freedom lives , let man be true to

      man . AVe ' ll never fight again boys , with Yankee , Pole , or Ituss , We love the French as brothers , and Frenchmen too love us ; But we will join to crush those fiends who kill all love and liberty ! _They are but giants because we kneel—onelcap and up go we ' Trust not the priests ! their words are lies , thenhearts are hard and cold , The welcomest of all their flock , are fierce wolves

      fleeced with gold . Rogues all , for hue they prop the laws that make us poor men sin , Ah ! though their robes arc black without , they ' ve blacker souls within . The Church and State are linked and sworn to desolate the land , Good people , 'twixt these foxes tails , we'll fling a burning brand . Who fears the worst that thoy can wreak , that loveth liberty ? They are but giants because iveknecl—one leap , and up go wc I

      Some brave and patriot hearts are gone to break beyond the wave , And some who gave their lives for you , have found a prison grave . Some have grown old with weeping , some fainted on the way , But Youth still cherisheth within , the light of a better day . Oh ! blessings on high dreaming Youth , God ' s with the ardent band , Their spirits breathe of paradise , they ' re freshest from his hand . And looking on the people ' s might , who doubts they shall be free ? Rings are but Giants because we kneel—one leap , and ¦ up go _tve ! T . Gerald _Masset .

      Another of our friends , who also cau pen " thoughts that breathe and words that burn , " usually contrives to mar his best pieces by aiming at length rather than depth . In the following poem the author will see that we have omitted several stanzas too imperfectly constructed to warrant publication .

      THE STRUGGLE . Alas 3 for thee , unhappy Innisfail ! Thy best aud bravest are upon the sea , Or in the dungeons of thy foemen vile , Fated , alas ! to perish miserably , Or ' neatti a tropic sun , heartbroke to die On rocks , which are at best but the sea ' s spoil ; Unhappy land ; when—when shalt thou be free ? In vain for thee , thy patriots' blood may boil ; Bound down beneath the yoke . Shalt thou much longer toil ? The victims of the basest of tho base ; Base aa are spies—baser their masters far ; Houndlike—ye scent when human blood ye trace ; Fit ministers ye are to Russell ' s car ; Whose looks much like to mummied death ' s heads

      arc ; Who hails his minions , Powell , Jervis , Davis , Dobbyn , Grey . Heaven ' s insulted justice will itself avenge , Fitting for ye the fate of Castlereagh . Powell ! from whose polluting touch even Calcraft shrunk away . And Erin's patriots , ye shall be avenged , By the slow , steady march of moving time .

      Although no cannon ' s point , or musket ranged , In your defence ; when in your summer ' s prime , Careless of those who deemed your deeds as crime , Ye deemed it but your duty , though it did mar Your fairest earthly prospects ; perish they may-Cherished your names shall be through ages far Mitchel , O'Brien , M'Manus , gallant Meagher ! There are wet eyes and breaking hearts for ye , And I had wept , but hope came to my aid , And bade me not despair of liberty ;

      Though tyrants havo 'gainst her their hosts arrayed , _Pointinii ; tho glancing spear , and baring the red blade , Dyed with the blood of slaughtered patriots dead ; In vain tkey may invoke the warrior ' s trade ; O ' er the wide world shall fly the flag of red , Although it droopethnow , it is unconquered , though betrayed . Yes ! for the red is Democracy ' s flag ! 'Tis hallowed by the patriot martyr ' s blood , Spilt heretofore on "Berlin ' s pavements' Bag , Or later still in Paris , where a flood Poured from the bravest of St . Autoino _' s sons who stood True , even to the death ; though shot and shell Rained on the barricades , there , like a stag At bay , against their foemen thoy stood well , Even women coinbattcd like heroes till they fell .

      Say—shall Vienna ' s fall he unavenged ? Shall she be trodden down by Croat and Czech ? Unsated shall the Austrian eagle rage ? How many patriots' blood her wrath may check ? How lomj her talons rend fair freedom ' s neck ? Shall Windischgratz and Jellachich for ever O ' erride her like a death p _lague from the east With their barbarian Szecklers , shoot and sever The heads of those who fought for freedom?—never never ! Speak , _"Messenhauser , -from thy patriot tomb ! Chiei of the many martyred ones who fell ; When death became the patriot ' s daily doom ,

      And murders every morn thc dark lists swell , And human fiends exceed thc crimes of hell , Urged on by Simonich and Wesscnberg . Speak , martyred Blum ! for all Germany waits To hear the echo that your name shall wake , When in thc coming fight once more men then' lives must stake . Yes ! eig hteen forty-eight ! thy aspirations Were nigh and holy ! and some of thy deeds Brought joy and gladness to the oppress'd nations , Albeit of different colours or of creeds . But still beneath the yoke Hispania bleeds , And Portugal beneath a Cobourg groans ; And Poland 3 truck , and struck , alasl in vain ; And Louis Philippe's throne was burnt on Pans

      stones , To enthrone other despots , beneath whom France still groans . Be it , then , forty-nine , thy holy task To free all nations , and to end the work Of Freedom ' s enemies , who wear the mask Of friends , like wolves , who in sheep ' s clothing lurk And stab her in the dark , and free speech burke . Strike down all eagles , red or black ; yea , all ! Unite all Freedom ' s friends , that when they strike , All tyrannic and feudal power may fall , And the red flag fly triumphant over all ! Alfred _T ? bssxi & . We fear that 18-19 will not see the termina _: tion of the struggle . But , nil desperandum . ' the Red Flag shall yet be victorious .

      Suss-Nine And Shadow: A Tale Op Ihe Nine...

      _SUSS-niNE AND SHADOW : A TALE OP IHE NINETEENTH CENTURY . BT IHOMAS MARTIN _WHEELEB , Late Secretary to the National Charter Assotktion and National Land Company .

      Ciiafter XII . Come over the sea , Maiden with me , Mine through sunshine , storm and snow ; Seasons may roll , But the true soul , Burns the same wherever it goes ; " _?** _p- _^ frown on , so we love and part not , lis life where thou art , ' tis death where thou ' rt not . —Moore .

      For long the wayward mind may not take part mu PaSS j drcan _** s , nor feel the encroaching sway ; lhe ardent youth , whose buovant untamed heart In lancy s fairy regions dares * to stray , hot all unscathed , uninjur'd will depart , But soon to passion fall an easy prey : Imagination may not idly rove Through love ' s domain , nor feel the power of love . The Esmeralda , commanded by Capt . Wickh ' , was bound from Liverpool to Barbadoes , and had on board two female passengers with tlieir attendants , and a planter returning from a visit to England ; she had left Liverpool two days after the ill-fated Camden , and had consequently escaped thc height oi tne storm

      , Out tlie passengers were still confined to their cabins by sea sickness , which is usually the case for the first week of the voyage . On thc following day the melancholy task of committing the two female and two male passengers to the waves was performed , at which ceremony the whole ofthe ship's crew , and those who were able ofthe Camden , attended ; Mr . Weeks , captain of the Camden , officiating as clergyman . The next day being verv fine and calm , the passengers , for the first time , made their appearance on deck . Arthur , who had suffered less from the effect of the shipwreck than many of his fellow-sufferers , was leaning against the ship ' s side when they ascended the ladder from tho cabin ; first came a stout elderly lady , the verv

      personification of good living and good humour ; she was the widow of a merchant residing at D— , one ofthe Windward Islands , and had been to England to assist in celebrating the nuptials of her eldest daughter with the young Lord Cowpens , a nobleman who counted a long line of ancestors , each of whom for many generations had maintained the dignity of the name by decreasing the revenue of the domain , until the title was nearly the sole heritage left by the late lord to its present occupant ; to remedy this inconvenience ho consented to barter his title for the gold ofthe merchant ' s daughter , and Miss Selina Elkinson had lately become the Countess Cowpens , and Mrs . Elkinson was returning home not a little elate at thc grand alliance she had

      contracted _, and the increased importance it would give her at D . The next figure that advanced up thc ladder , —could it be a dream , or was it in reality the image that memory had indelibly imprinted on his brain , and associated with all thc plcasim _**; ideas of boyhood and youthful recollections ? It waslndecd his early playmate , Julia North , now Lady Baldwin , who , unable to obtain a longer respite , was about joining her husband , who was to meet her at Barbadoes , and who had entrusted her to the matronly care of Mrs . Elkinson , of whose journey to England he was aware ; and proud was she to accept the office of chaperon to the lovely , though apparently drooping and low-spirited , wifo of the new governor , Sir Jasper Baldwin . Tho first impulse of Arthur

      was to rush to Julia North , for he was unacquainted with her marriage , and renew their former acquaintance , but his natural reserve checked the ardour of his feelings , and he awaited a more favourable opportunity of discovering himself ; this soon presented itself , for Capt . Wickham having acquainted the ladies , and Mr . Burke , the planter , alluded to , with the circumstances ofthe wreck , pointed out to their notice the captain , purser , and passengers of the Camden , as constrained fellow-voyagers with them , unless , indeed , they fell in with a" homewardhound American , ta his instructions did not allow of his in any way deviating from his course . Julia at once recognised Arthur , and greeted him with a warmth that surprised the good-natured Mrs . Elkinson , accustomed as she was to her usual quietness of manner . Long and interesting wero the

      explanations which ensued of the years past since their last meeting . A recurrence to tho scenes of her youth seemed to act as a charm on Lady Baldwin , and Mrs . Elkinson was delighted to see lier in such spirits , and unacquainted with her history , attributed her prior dejection to the effects of sea sickness , from which she had greatly suffered . Owing to his being " a friend of Lady Baldwin ' s , Arthur messed with thc passengers at the captain ' s table , and being thus continually in Julia ' s company his boyish love was rekindled , but it was a pure and holy flame , unmixed with aught of selfish wishes . Julia never referred to her marriage , and when Mrs . Elkinson spoke of Sir Jasper her answers were cold but respectful . Arthur know not ol * the constraint placed upon her affections , but his penetration soon told him she did not love her husband

      with that devotedness and energy of which he believed her capable ; he therefore supposed that in this marriage she was guided as much by ambition as by love , and this reflection certainly lowered her in his estimation ; but we never dwell long on the faults of those we lovo , especially when love is as it was with him , —a compound of * early association , respect , and admiration . Day after day did he enjoy the delight of Julia ' s company , and though hc evinced not by word or action the love that was hourly increasing within him ,. yet , almost unconsciously , his words assumed a softer tono , and his eyes a milder glance , when discoursing with his heart's idol , for such she was rapidly becoming ; an idol to be worshipped in secret and in silence ; at whose

      altar the votive gifts were sighs and regrets , the offerings of love ' s unfortunates . In Arthur ' s feelings of respect there mingled no thought ofthe difference in their rank or condition in life ; he a fugitive from justice , she a rich and titled bride . Equally , yea more , would he hare loved her had she bccii poor and friendless , —equally would he havo respected her a poor man ' s bride as the bride of Sir Jasper Baldwin . And Julia , for such wo must list to call her—and Julia , what were her feelings ? Forced into a hateful marriage , her thoughts towards her husband were a mingled compound of fear and loathing . Constant intercourse might havo worn the edge off this feeling , but absence had strengthened it , and naught hut the positive injunctions of

      her parents , and a dread ot the worlds calumnies , _lvouli have prevailed upon her to join Sir Jasper . With a sad heart and fearful forebodings , did she leave her parents and her native shores , and not even the good humoured Mrs . Elkinson could raise a smile on her wan cheeks—her whole frame was jarred and unstrung . Passion of any description would have been a relief to her , for listlessness and languor were consuming her very soul . The unexpected sight , of Arthur Morton ( appearing , too , at a critical period , when the exertion of embarkation , and the effects of sea sickness , had disposed the mind to receive anything soothing as a positive boon , ) gave a fresh tone to her mind , and struck a latent chord in the shattered instrument , which

      again spoke of life and beauty . Arthur , as a playmate , had been a favourite ; in the long years that had passed he had never been entirely forgotten , and in her present isolated situation the remotest acquaintance would have been regarded as a link between her and the past , and a refuge from thoughts on tho future ; it was no wonder then that she looked upon him with feelings of no ordinary description , —his modesty , his intelligence , and let us not leave out , his interesting appearance , gave greater strength to the charm ; there were none others to contrast with him , or cast his good qualities into the shade ; and if idleness be the paren t of lore , what a host of young Cupids should attend a long voyage . Yes , gentle reader , Julia , if not in love with Arthur , had many symptoms of that

      disease , and time and opportunity were alone wanting to develope them , and of these they would have an abundance . Let hot the censorious or the prudish blame my heroine . Love in her was no crime , albei t she was the bride of another , —it was the result of feelings as pure as nature ever implanted in human breast : the treachery of her relatives , and the baseness of Sir Jasper , were the circumstances which caused it to verge upon crime—or rather , should we say , retributive justice . Let the saint and the hypocrite rail on—wo write ' not for their perusal \ ve heed not tlieir censure ; we picture human nature as it is—veritable flesh and blood—glowing with warm and ardent feelings—feelings which are apt to overpower tho . judgment ; but far better is it so than'for us to fall into the Dead Sea waters of apathy , or wallow in the mire of cold arid frigid selfishness . ,. . . : , ,.. ¦ _* .. * ; _:.

      A World on Fine . —Lieut . Matty , supcrhite _^ dent of the National Observatory , Washington , says , in a . late address , "It may be that there ia now , at this very time , in the firmament above , a world on fire . Argus , a well-known star in the southern hemisphere , has suddenly blazed forth ; aiid from the second or third magnitude , now glares with the brilliancy of the first . " _Curistian Names are so called from their having originally been given to converts at baptism a *

      substitutes for their former Pagan appellatives , roany of which , were borrowed from the names of their gods , and therefore _ejected as profane . After the general introduction ; of Christianity , the epithet was stilS _-retained , _becwiee the _iiwposition of names was ever connected wish' the earliest of its sacred rites . It _k- nevertheless , most incorrect ; since the _majorfty of personal ? names of modern times are borrowed- from sources * unconnected with Christianity . Withi what _propriety can we call- Hercules and Diana , _Au-pstus and Juiiaj or _eveu * Henry and Caroline , Christian _^ names ?

      A short time ' since a tradesman , named James Pell , migrated from _Ludgatc-hill to Fleet-street , and announced thc event in t _& c following

      manner : — '" IFELL FromLudgate HiEi ; " ! under which a wag wrote- —' " Oh ! what a fall was there my eountryman P ' Registering his Vow . —An Irish labourer , sick ofthe thraldom of strong drink , introduced himself lately to the magistrates of Southwark , and proposed to " go bale " before them to keep the following pledge , ( which he produced in writing ) : — "Take notice that Pether Hogan , of Caslragin , in the county of kerri , hear by taiks his 0 th nevir to dhrinke a glass of Sperret , good , bad , or indifferent , ONLY TO _KEPE DOWN TIIK VIOKTABLKS . "

      Wealth xo Guarantee to Patriotism . —In this last French Revolution the wealthy have allowed their fears to overmaster them , to a most ridiculous extent . They scampered away from Paris with all the disgrace and disorder of a panic—adding one more testimony to the fact , that the best supporters of society are not those who have what is called a stake in the country , but those who are attached by necessity to the soil . —Eclectic Review . The Royal Maternity Institution has existed a century , and in tint period has administered relief to 400 , 000 poor married women . Last year presented an increase ot 231 cases , It appears that the net cost ofa mile of the main line of tho North Western , with 82 lb . rails , and estimating the sleepers to last twelve years , has been £ 2 , 035—or with sleepers to last twenty years , £ 2 , 351 ) per milo .

      Second _Pehsonal Names . —Until about tho commencement ofthe seventeenth century no material change in the designntions of Englishmen had occurred since the days of the earlier Edwards , when surnames were generally adopted . John de la Barre , it is true , had become plain John Barr , and Roger atte Hylic had softened to Roger Hill ; but still the principle of a single Christian name , and a single surname had been maintained throughout . About the period alluded to , tho innovation of a second personal name occurs , though but vcry

      rarely . The practice was imported from the continent , where it seems to have originated among the literati in imitation of the tria nomina of antiquity . The accession of the many-named house of Brunswick may be said to have rendered it somewhat fashionable ; and during the last century it has become every year more common . Should the fashion continue , it is probable that at the close oi the nineteenth century it will he as difficult to find a binominatcd person in this country as it is in France at the present day .

      LADY JUNE . Hero she comes with broidered kirtlo ; horo she isthe lady June , Singing , like a ballad minstrel , many a gay and laughing tune . Let us see what she is dressed in—let us learn the " mode " she brings—For maiden never looked so lovely , though she v > ear but simple things . See her robe is richly woven of the greenest forest leaves , With full bows of honeysuckle looping up the flowing sleeves . See the fragrant marsh-flag plaited , forms her yellow tasselled sash , With the diamond studs upon it , flung tliere by the river splash . See her flounces , widely swelling , as the Zephyr ' s wings go past ,

      Made ot roses , with the woodbine's perfumed thread to stitch thorn fast . See tho foxglove ' s bell of crimson , and the poppy ' s scarlet oud , 'Mid her tresses , bright and vivid as the sunset's ruby scud . See the fresh and luscious bouquet that she scatters in her way _,-It is nothing but a handful she has snatched of newmown hay . See , her garments have been fashioned by a free and simple hand , But tell mo , have you seen a lady look more beautiful and grand ? Yon old man has quite forgotten what his errand was , I ween , As he stares with listless pleasure on her garmentfolds ofgreen . Busy dealers pause a moment in their hurry after gain , Thinking there is something joyous in her trolling carol strain .

      Youths and maidens track her closely till her footsteps blythely mingle In tho field and by the streamlet , up the hill and through the dingle . Children fondly gather round her , prying into leaf and blossom , Pilfering , with tiny fingers , jewels from her very bosom . Here she comes with fairy footsteps , chaunting ever as sho runs , Ditty words that soothe the mournful , and enchant the happy ones . Hero she comes with broidered kirtle , and we'll list ¦ what Lady June May be telling out so sweetly in that merry dancing tune . Eliza Cook ' s Journal .

      Financial Reform . —Mr . Cobden advocates a change in the form ofthe blue books from folio to octavo , and promises a saving of from twenty to thirty per cent , by the alteration . —[ Humbug !] Family Personal Names . —The use of a family name as a baptismal appellation is an innovation of the seventeenth century . The genealogist will at once see its utility ; and I would again suggest to parents the desirableness of inserting the maternal family name between the proper name of baptism and the surname , as James Morton Wilson , Henry

      Smith Bradley . I would indeed go further , and add the maiden family name of the wife to the surname ofthe husband ; thus , if a Charles Harrison married a Mary Bradshawe , they should thereupon write themselves respectively Charles Bradshawe-Harrison and Maiy Bradshawe-Harrison . If vanity unites in thc same escutcheon the arms of the wife with those of her lord , ought not affection in _likmanner to blend their names ? This usage is voluntarily followed at Geneva and in _manyjii'OVinces of France ; and it serves to distinguish the bachelor
