Having , in last Saturday ' s Star , given an outline r fthecaieerof BERANGER , jail having intimated ( for reasons already stated ) Oar resolution to eschew criticism , we snail at once proceed with the promised completion of our present selection from the poet ' s songs . f-We are not sure bnt that the following charming Composition has previously appeared in the Starbnt if so we are confident that its repetition will be welcomed by our readers .
HATURE . la Tarylng hues of grief and mirth , How fruitful Nature ' s face appears ; Beneath its dark wing rolls ths earth , In turns , blood , and tesra . Bat beauty reigns where ' er we go , And see , with grapes theVinss are clad ; lit woman smile , and good vine flair , Ana lo ! the nods' is glad . A deluge o ' er each land hath flewn ; Bat ah ! how few , how raj few . Some sheltering ark have ever knawn , Whom misery ' s waves pursue ! Whets files the dove , when bends the bow Above that waste of waters sadlet woman smile , let good wine flow , Asd lo ! the world is glad . Li fireary . dark , funereal gloom ,
A , wi&tred land : ' awA Etna lies , Which hnrls from out its burning womb The hell egainit the ekUt I Its rage expires and mattering lew , Bests that mysterious mountain mad-Let woman rauls , let good wine flow , Anslo ! the world Is gl » a ! The frightfal vulture of the East , The deadly plague with hoarse voloe calls , And man to famish for ih her feast , Bifore her fl , iHg—falls ! Heaven is appealed—with angel glair Soft Pity tends these victims sad !—Le : woman smile—let good wine flaw—And lo ! the world is glad 1 SUrn Mars awakes his cruel 5 re 3 ,
And rolls his car of sanguine feue , And the sam * land that drank tfee sire ' s , Still drinks the son ' s blood , too ! Bnt man grows tired and steps the blow , And nature whispers , sweet tho' sad . — Lei woman smile—let good wide flow—And lo ! the world is glad ! Instead of blsraln ; Nature now , See Spring ' s bright tresses stream abore , Oh ! let us wreath her fragrant brow With earth ' s best roses , joy and love ! Spite of the slavish ills we know , 'Mid mouldering rains ivy clad , Let nuuisn smile—let good wine Saw—And , lo ! the world la glad ! Here is a song for a lover ' s lips and a lady's ear OVERFLOWING LOVE . Iwonldaaass a store of gold
In spite of wisdom ' s voice and frown , And , at my lady ' s feet , untold , I'd proudly lay my treasure dawn . Then , day by day , might I supply , Adele , each gay caprice ef thine . No avaricious heart have I ; Bat such o erflowing leTeis miae . Had I amuse inspired to make Adele immortal in my lays , Hy verses solely for her sake , Should live in everlasting praise . Thus , yet , may distant memory see Oar names emblazoned intertwine : The thirst cf glory fires not me ; Bat such o ' erfl iwiog love is mine . Would H « aven but raise me up , supreme , To fill a monarch ' s gorgeous throne , Adele would grace my regal dream ;
My rights shall all be made her own , More sure to please her , my behest Would make & court sround as shine Not much ambition swells my breast ; Bat sach o erflowing love is mine . But , let these vain aspirings go ! Adele has all to charm and bless . Pomp , fortune , fame , no joys can show Like love ' s own simple happiness . I'll trust my happy days ; nor fear My fates will turn , my star decline : I have no wealth , rank , glory here ; But much o ' etfloniBg love is mine .
As we have already said , although no Buonapartist the forced restoration of the Bourbons was gall and wormwood to Bebaxgeb , who isourned orer the prostration of the tricolour and the exaltation of the white fag of Legitimacy . His sentiments on this subject are well shown in the following verses , supposed to be addressed by a soldier of the Republic and the Empire , to his veteran comrades : —
THE OLD STANDARD Around me sit my comrades old , While memory te the wine-cup warm ? , And many a sMrriog tale is told Of our departed daja in arms . Here ia my eot I keep at last The banner tf cur battles past . Wben shall it from the dust he free That dims its noble coionxs ihrea ! 'lis hid beneath ( he lowly bed , Where poor and maimed at night I lie-That which for twenty years still sped FromTictciy to victory ; When , crowned with laurels and with flowers , Itpass'do ' er Europe ' s haughtiest towers . When shall it from the dost be free That dims its noble colours three ?
That glorious banner could repay The blcoi tbat round it flowed in France Our youth in friedem ' s happier day , Sported with its redoubled laEce , Still let it stow die despots bow Glory is all plcbeien now ! When shall it from the dust be free That dims its noble colours three ! Its Esgle mourns a hoptless fall , Worn by a fl ght so wild and far : Up with the C * k of ancient Gaul , To guide the fiery bolts of war , By Prsnos received to be , as once , The signal flig cf freedom ' s sons ! When shall it from tfee dost be free That dims its noble colours three t It soon shall guard the rights of men , Tired of fee staauing . msrch of war . Each Frtncfemfsn ira « a citizen
Once , in its right , beside the Loire . Stiil our Eole hope to shield and save , O ' er all our frontiers let it wave ! When ihsli it frcm the dust be free That dims its noble colours three ? There , near my long-worn arms it lies—An iaj tant—fmud of former years ! Come , press my heart end glad my eyes , And staunch a v-ttrati ' s falling tears ; Oh ! well I know kind Heav ; n will ne ' er E ' . jcc : a Weeping soldier * * prayer . Yes frjm the dust behold it ftee That dimmed its noble cnlonrs three I
Alas ! the tricolour is now a dishonoured flag . >" ot the despotism of Napoleon , not the perfidy of Louis Philippe , could make the nations lose faitb in the banner of revolutionary France ; that disgraceful consummation was reserved for the pretended Republicans of 1848 . The Lamartines , Marrasts , and Cavaignacs , by their treason to the democratic cause , have damned the tricolour . They have not merely * dimmed its noble colours three , ' they have made the flag itself hateful to the suffering millions both at h . - . me aud abroad . Under the
Republican tricolour of 1848 , the men who by their valour and blood made the revolution , have been swindled out of its fruits , and given over to proscription and massacre . Under that flag , too , Poland has been abandoned , Italy betrayed , and the honour of France basely truckled away for the advantages ^ ) of the English alliance . The tricolour is now as obsolete as the colourless rag of worn-out Legitimacy . Henceforth for the democracy , the red flag is the symM of struggle , the emblem of hope , and the presage of victory . We have not at Land , although we have seen , a more spirited translation than the following ,
of—THE OLD BEGGAR . { From Tali ' s Magazine . ) 6 Hera , in this diich my bones I'd lay ; Weak , wearis-J , old , the world I leave , ' He ' s rutk , ' the passing crowd will say : 'Tig well , for none will need to grieTe . Some turn tbeir scornful hea 4 s away , St-ms fling an alms in harrying by ;—Haste—' tis ( he Tillage holiday I The aged bf g ? ar n ? ids no help to die . Yes ! here , elone , of sheer old age I die ; for hunger days not all ; I hoped my misery ' s clasing page To foM within some hospital . But crowded think in each retreat , Great numbers now in misery lie , — At birth my cradle was the street ! As he was born the aged wretch must die , In TQQth of workmen , o ' er and o ' er
I ' ve asked , ' Instruct me in your trade ;' 'Begone—our busiaeis is not mere ThaB keep * ourselves—go beg ! ' they laid Te rich , who bade me toil for bread—Of boner , your tables gave me store , Your straw has often made my bedto death I lay no cnrs «» at year dear .

Thai poor , I jxught hare turntd to theft ;—Ne ! better sdll for alms to pray ! At most I ' veplucked some apple , left To ripen near the public way . Tet weeks and weeks , in dungeons laid In tha King ' s name they let me pine ; They stole the only wealth I had , — Though poor and old , the sun at least was alee , What couptry has the poor to o ! aim ! What boots to me your , corn and wine , Your busy toil , your vauated fame , The Senate where your speakers shine ! Once , when your homes , by war o ' trswept , Saw strangtrs battening en your land , Like aoy puling fool , I wept ! The aged wretch was nourished by their band . Mankind ! why trod you not the worm TbMpoo r , Ijni « hth » Teturn « dtothef . ; -.
The noxious thing , beneath your heel ! Ah * had you taught me to perform Due labour far the common weal ! Then , sheltered by the adverse wind , Tha worm and amt had learned to grow , — Ay—then I might have loved my kind ;—The aged beggsx dies your bitter foe ! In this poem we are presented with a picture of the working of the system so much lauded by Thiers , Cousin , and the rest of the army of locusts who directed grape shot upon the workmen of Paris in the fatal days of June . With good reason may the labouring masses of all lands ask with the dying beggar , " What country has ( he poor to claim !"
Bebangbb is the poet of the suffering millions . ' The people , ' says he , ' ( hat ismymase . # # When I speak of the people , I mean the crowd—the mass—the very lowest , if you will . They may not appreciate the achievements of intellect , or therefined delicacies of taste : be it so ! But for that very reason , authors are obliged to conceive more boldly , more grandly , in order to arrest theii attention . Adapt therefore to their strong nature , both your subjects and their style of treatment : it is neitfeer abstract ideas nor figures which they require of you : show them the naked human heart . ? * According to an inveterate
habit , we still judge ef the people with exceeding prejudice . They present themselves to us as a gross mass , incapable of elevated , generous , or tender impressions . Yet if poetry has a resting-place in the world , it is , I firmly believe , in their ianks that you must go seek for it . But to find it , you must first study this people . * "Would that our authors set themselves seriously to labour for this crowd , so well prepared to receive the instruction which they need . In sympathising with them they would help to render them more moial and the more they added to their intelligence , the more would they extend the domain of genius and of true glory . '
The picture of the wandering beggar dying on the roadside , and with his last breath cursing the state of society which had made him a vagrant and doomed him to a dog ' s death , will be appropriately followed by the following city sketch of the wrongs of the poor : —
JAMES . Dear James ! I do not wish To wake you so soon from elsep ; Bat some liveried man ii here , Who has caused the neighbours to weep I fear , my hnsband dear , He has come to gather the rates ; Then rise up quickly , James , For the King ' s collector waits . The morning is shining and bright'Us rarely you sleep sa long ; And see ! our neighbour ' s things are sold , For the tyrant ' s power Is strong , And we arc not able to pay , By our werk , those cursed rates , Bat wake from sleep , my husband dear , For the King ' s collector waits . Notasousl and here he is !
Hark ! hon tee watch-degs bay— . Oh ! if the King could wait for a month , We yet might be able to pay : Ask for one month ' s reprieve , And we'll pay them all their ratei—Then w ake from sleep , my husband dear , For the King ' s collector waits . Oh , God , we ' re crushed by rates , And starved for want of bread , ' ~ Though you work all day with your spade , Aud I with my ce « dle and thread ; Bat if we would work all night We still could not pay those rates—Come ! wake from sleep , my husband dear , For the Eiag ' i collector waits . Sorrow is plenty enough ,
Bat meat is wanting here ; We scarcely can get a piach of salt , The times hare become bo dear ! On , James ! hoir happy we'd be Could we pay thoBe cruel rates-Then wake from sleep , my husband dear , For the K ' ng'fl collector waits . You are weak , and & littla wine New strength to sour frame will bring—Don't fear ! I still can get you some By Belling my wedding-ring . Courage ! somemeroymay dwell In bis breast , though he comeB far the rates-Then wake from Bleep , my husband dear , For the King ' s collector waits . 0 heavens ! you are very pale .
My husband < 0 speak again ! Last night you told me you felt unwell , And spoke of a lingering pats . Despair set ! God loves the poor , And will help us ts pay tteie rates—' Then wake from sleep , my husband dear , For the King ' s collector waits . She calls in vain—he is dead- ! He has passtd from the sorrows ef life : 0 neighbours < think of his children young , And pray ferhis hapless wife . Depart on your road , good man , For here yoa can get no rate *—Then wake from slesp , my husband dear , The King ' s collector waits .
The sham-Republic of Lamartine , Marrast , and Cavaignac , instead of abolishing , has aggravated the exactions of Royalty , and , consequently , increased the suffering of the workmen ; therefore the barricafes of Jane were erected—therefore the Red Republic is inevitable .
THE SWALLOWS . A captive on the Moorish shore—A warrior , bowed beneath his chsiaj—Exclaimed—Do I behold once more The birds that fly the wintry plains ? Ye swallows , whom hope ' s cheering light Has followed to this dc-ssrt spot , From France yt ' ve , doubtless , winged your flight Of tbat dear land , why speak ye not ? Three summers now to yon I ' ve prayed Some tokenB of that vole to briog , Where first , in bumble youth , I strayed , And dreamt of life ' s approaching spring ; Besido a stream which murmuring falls , Btneutb . a tree that shades theBpot , You must have s * en my cottsje walls—Of tbat dear home why speak ye not ? Oae of you haply built his nest
Beneath the roof where I was born ; While sheltering in that place of rest Say , have you heard a mother mourn t Dying , she fancies still she hears My step approach her lonely ost : She listens sUll , fitUl fall her tears—Of her dear lave why speak ye not . My siater—is Bhe married yet ? Have yoa beheld a merry throng Of village youths , in frolic met , To chant for her her nuptial song ! Tho 33 comrades of my early day , Who at my eide in battle fought , Have they rcgiinsd the village , siy f—Of all these friends why speak ye not ! Perhaps the 6 tran ?« r o ' er their graves
Treads , as ho takes the valley ' s way—Tha inmates of my home enslaves , And mars my eist : r ' s bridal day . In prayer for me no mother ' s hand Is raised : these chains are still my lot 2 Ye EWbllcws of my native land , 0 ! all her ills wby speak jc sot *
IF I WERE A LITTLE B 1 ED . Yes , I , who cttn amid the fair , Still loved a rever ' s wsy , What envy must my bosom bear—Tfce bird bo light and gay . Realms cf space , he eweeps them by , All invites him , earth aEd sky;—Heaven is t zate , vratm the air—Sniftl ; , swiftly , I would fly , If a little bird I were ; 'Tis then that from tka nightingale I'd filch her sweetest strainn
And haste to jnin in pastoral vale The song of girls and swains-Then , to charm the hermit , hie , Who , without one holy lie , Gives the poor his cloak to share , Sniftly , to . In bowers where gay companions laugh I'd cbosse a softer tone , ' Till , melted by my notes , they'd qaaff To woman ' s love alone . Then , to broken warriors , I All my favourite tunes woula ply T ill their hamlet life seemed fair ; Buiftli , 4 o .

Oar world—too surely will distraction bring—I feel our planet tremble at my feet , I see the lofty lighthouse tottering ; The table disappears—the gn «» U an gone'Twas a lad festival when all is told ; On—te confession—trembling spirits—on Enough—enoug h—the world is aUtoo old .

Now , I am grey with yean—and beauty ' s frowa—My t oags are mute—my heart is dull and cold ; Comet implacable—then speed thee down , Ln ' s end tha matter—for the world is old . We hear , and can well believe , that Bkbanger is almost heart-broken at the miserable failure of the February revolution ; and we fear that more than ever he at this time thinks « the world is all too old . ' But we trust that better , brighter days are in store , and that , in spite of the composition following , the poet well live to see 'the good time coming . '
AN IMAGINARY VOYAGE . Autsmn comes on , and from her damp wing shaketh Still sharper pangs , to rack my bones anew : Poor , timid , with a frame tbat always acheth , I see my joys , once blooming , lo « e their hue . Oh ! snatch me frsm Lutetia , * dark and filtby ! Mine eyes look longing for a purer eky ; I dreamt of Greece , when glowing , young and healthy—• Tis there , ' tis there , where I wculd wiBh to die . What need they to translate the song of Homer ?—I ' ve been a Greek—Pythtgoras says well . 'Neath Pericles I loved my mother , Athens ; Socrates saw me in his ptlsou cell . I ' ve bowed with awe to gods tbat Phidias set us ; Heard at my feet , Ilysaut murmuring by . ; I ' ve waked the bees on flower bestrewn Hymettus'Tis there , ' tis there where I should whh to die . Ye gods , tbat for a single day ' s existence .
Mj heart might feel the great glow of that sun ! Hsrk ! Freedom , when I bail / call * in the distance * 1 Thrasybului , exile ! be has won . ' Oh , let us fly—our flowing sails obey us ; Sea , ba thy waveB as gentle as a sigh < My muse will seek repose in the Piraue'Us there , ' tis there where I should wish to die . In truth , ' tis lovely !—this Italian heaven ; But slavery deuds the lustre of its blue . On—on— I pray thee , pilot , to yon haven ! Where the young day seems smilingly to woe . What are theee waves !—and what this rock so savage ! What green expanse still fills my moving eye ? See ! on the shore . He can ne longer ravage-Tyranny dies ?—' tis there I too would die ! Oh ! deign to give your hand unto the strasger , Yirgin of Athens ! liBt him while he sings . I come from a dark land where Death and Danger Tracks the Free heart , and Genius tracks tokln . 's .
Protect my lyre!—here free words ne ' er . betray us ; And if my lay should metBt your gentle eye , ¦ Give the same urn to me that holds Pyrlmus ! Beneath yoar glorious skies I ' ve come—to die . Here for the present we conclude . On a future occasion we may give another selection from the poet ' s songs . Vive Beranaer !

CREMORNE GARDENS
A novel and daring aerial feat was attempted on Monday night , at Cremorne Gardens , in theBhape of an ascent of Mrs George Batty , the ' Lion Queen ' with a noble lion in the Royal Cremorne Balloon piloted by that daring aeronaut Lieutenant Gale ' R . N . The announcement attracted a large concourse of spectators , who , during the process of inflation evinced the most lively impatience . This operation having been completed , a den constructed expressly for the occasion , and formed of oak , braced and barred with iron , wa 3 brought on to the gronnd and attached to the ballosn in lieu of the car by strong lashinga and cord ? , the lieutenant standing on the top within the hoop at the neck of the balloon surrounded with ballast bags , grapnel and other in ' . Btruments for a descent , while the lady was to
occupy a Beat op the back of her compagnon du voyage , attired in all the panoply of a glittering helmet , with flowing ostrich feathera , a Binning suit of mail armour , and silk flashings . The lion Bhortlv arrived iron the amphitheatre in the Westminsterroad , attended by Mr William Batty and Mr George Batty , of whose splendid menagerie he is a prominent member . At about a quarter to sis o ' clock , Lieut , Gale called for the lion , for the purpose of weighing him with the den , and the noble animal having been introduced from the one cage into the other , the Lieutenant gave the signal , and the balloon made a partial rise , ascending with some difficulty , while the lion appeared perfectly indifferent . On descending the Lieutenant threw away the greater portion of his ballast , and Mrs Batty entered the den and caressed her favourite , and all being in
readiness , Lieutenant Gale pulled the ' liberating iron , ' but the ascent was eIjw . The balloon had Ecarcely cleared the trees when the Lieutenant found that he had not sufficient power . He threw out ballast , but it was of no avail ; and it waa perceptible to every one , that the machine could not riso with the enormous weight affixed to it , about nine hundred pounds . The lieutenant then addressed the spectators , stating these facts , and declared his intention to go up with the lion alone . Mrs Baity then quitted the den , and curtesying to the spectators , left the ground amidst the plaudits of the company . The preparations ' being ready , the signal was given , and away sailed the balloon , taking a south westerly direction , the wind blowing from the north east . The gallant Lieutenant descended in perfect safety at Mortlake in Surrey . The ascent , it is said , will be . repeated .
These splendid gardens will shortly closo , and we strongly recommend cur readers to take an early opportunity to visit them .
