A NIGHT SCENE. ’Tis midnight; on the mountain’* brown The cold, round moon shines dimly down: Blue roll the waters, blue tho sky Spreads like an ocean hung on high, Bespangled with those isles oflight, So wildly, spiritually bright; Who over gazed upon them shining. And turn’d to earth w thout repining, Nor wish’d for wings to flee away, And mix with their eternal ray? The waves on either shore lay there Calm, clear, and^azure as the air; And scarce their foam the pebbles shook, Bui murmur’d meekly as the brook. The wind* wore pillowed on the wavee; The banners droop'd along their staves, And, as they fell aronnd them furling; Above them shown tho crescent curling; And that deep silence was unbroke. Save where the watch his signal spoke. Save where the steed neigh’d oft and shrill, And «cho answer’d from the hill. Siege of Corinth. KOttNINO— WITH REFLECTIONS. ' N ig h t wanes—the vapours round the mountains curl’d Melt into mom, and Light awakes the world. Man hath another day to swell the past. And lead him near to little, but his last; But mighty Nature bounds as from her birth. The sun is in the heavens, and life on earth; Flowers in the valley, splendour in the beam. Health on the gate, and freshness in the stream. Immortal m a n ! behold her glories shine, And cry, exulting inly, “ they are thine!” Gaze on, while y et thy gladdened eye may s e e ; A morrow comes when they are not for thee; And, grieve what may above thy senseless bier, Nor earth nor sky will yiqjd a single tear; Nor clovd shall gather more, nor leaf shall fall. Nor gale breathe forth one sigh for thee, for a llf But creeping things shall revel in their spoil, And fit thy clay to fertilize the soil.

Within the lour curtains he is absolttte.i They are * his MangiClausum. H o w Sickness enlarges the dimensions of a man's Self tci himself! he is his own exclusive object. Supreme selfishness is inculcated upon him as his only duty. 'Tis the Two Tables! of the Law to him. He has ndthiRg to think of btit how to get well. What pasSes out of doors, or within them, so he hear riot the jarring of them, affecta him not. A little while ago be was greatly con cerned* in the event of a lawsuit, which was to be the making of the marring of his dearest friend. He was to be sqen trudg ing about the man’s errand to fifty quarters of the town at once, jogging this witness, refreshingthat solicitor. The c.iuse was to come on yesterday. He is absolutely as indifferent to the decision, as if it were a question td be tried at Pekin, Perad- Vdnture from some whispering, going on about the house, not intended for his hear ing, he picks up enough to make him un derstand that things went cross-grained in the court yesterday, and his friend is ruin ed. But the word ‘friend,’ and the word ‘ ruin,’ disturb him no more than so much jargon. He is not to think of any thing but how to get better. What a-worid of foreign cares are mer ged in that absorbing consideration! ' He has put.on the strong armour of sick ness, he is wrapt in the callous hide of suffering: he* keeps his sympathy, like some curious vintage under trusty lock and key, ibr his own use only. lie lies pitying himself, groaning and moaningio himself^ he yearneth over him self ; his bowels are even melted within him, to think what he suffers; he is not ashamed to weep over himself. H e is forever plotting how to do som e good to himself; studying little stratagems, and artificial alleviations. He makes the most of himself: dividing himself, by an allowable fiction, into as many distinct individuals, as he hath sore and sorrowing members. Sometimes he meditates—as of a thing apart from him— S S M O T B P m xapBJU L jtjx'sr, From the London Monthly Magasine. THE CONVALESCENT. A pretty severe fit of indisposition, which under the name of a nervous fever has made a prisoner of me for some Weeks past, and it is but slowly leaving iqe, has reduced me to the incapacity of relfecting upon any topic foreign to 'ilsolf. Expect no healthy conclusions from me this month, reader; I' can- offer you only sick men’s dreams. , * And truly the whole state of sickness is such: for what else is it but a magnificent dream for a man to lie abed, and draw day light curtains about him ; stud, shutting out the sun to induce a total oblivion of all the works which are going on under it ? To become insensible to ail the operations of life, except the heating (if one’s feeble pulse t meaner, the unceremb^iippai^^^^ (throne rather let ine cajl n) to t|e s'bojt chair of cQiiyalescence, is a falji from dig^ nity,.ampuntirig,td a dep()mtipn; How convalescence shrink? a mari.haeK to hia pristine stature! wliefe. iaripw . ihq galities, his sick room, Which was ence chamber, wbete be lay 3 nd.ac|ei^.hi| despotic fancies-r-bow; ia^ftipdacedicijii. common bed room V The trimnesS; of* tjbd very bed had som e thipgpeltyahd|nm ^ ingabout it. ; It unlike to that waYy,mariy-furrowed,‘d ^ ic surface which if presented so shb'ri A time since, when to tnake it wns a servicer not to be thought -of, at oftehet thaofhfee or four ddy revfolurioaSi when the patient was with pain and grief be' lifted fof^ H little while out of it, to submit to the. en croachments of unwelcome neatness,'arid decencies which his shaken frame depre cated ; then to bp-lifted into it again, foY another three of four days’ respite, to flounder it out of shape again, While eV'ery fresh furrow was a historical recoM * of some shifting posture, some uneasy tubing some seeking for a little ease;, arid the shrunken.skin never told s irhOrstqr^ tliaa the crumpled coverlid. ^ ^ Hushed are those EhyMcrlpug s i g h s ^ those groans— much mere awful, ithfle wcknew not from what'eaYerns oftrast hidden suffering' the;^ proceeded The Lcrnban pangs are quenched.' riddle of sickness is solved;; add Philoctetes is becqme an ordinary personage. . . Perhaps some relic of the sick mari’s dream of greatness bryives in thq still lingering visitations of the medicat attend ant. But bow is he too changed with ey- ery thing else! Can this he h e~this man of news—of chat—of anecdote—of every thing but physic---can this be he, who so lately came betweeii the patient and hiS cruel enemy, as on s(ime solemn embassy from Nature^ erecting herself into a high m ediating party 1 — ^PshaW! *tis sdnie old woman. . Farewell with him all that inadesickbeaii pompous—the spell that hushed thehouse- hold--the desert-like stillness, felt through^* out its inmost ebambers-J-the mute attend^ ance'—^the inquiry by looks^the still Soft er delicacies of seif 'attention—-the sole rind single eye of distemper alone fixed upciri it- pain which, dozing or waking, lay in it ail the past night like a long, or palpable sub stance of pain, not to be removed without opening the very scull, as it seemed, to take it hence. Or he pities his long, clam my, attenuated fingers. He compassion ates himself all oyer! and his bed is a very discipline of humanity, and tender heart. He is his own sympathizer, pnd instinct ively feels that none can so well perform that office for him. He cares for few spectators to his tragedy. Only that puno tual face of the old nurse pleases him, that announces his broths, and his cordials. He likes it because it Is so unmoved, and be cause he can pour forth his feverish ejacu lations before it, as unreservedly as to his bedpost. To the world’s business he is dead. He understands not what the callings and oc cupations of mortals are i. only he has a glimmering conceit of some such thing, when the doctor makes his daily call; and even in the lines of that busy face he reads no multiplicity of patients, but solely con ceives of himself as the sick man. To what other uneasy couch the good man is-has- tening, when he slips out of his chamber, folding up his thin douceur so carefully for fear of rustling—is no speculation which he can at present entertain. He thinks only of the regular return of the same phenomenon at the same hour to morrow. Household rumors touch him not.-— Some faint murmur, indicative of life going on within the house, sooths him, while he knows not what it is. He is not to know any thing, not to think of any thing. Ser vants gliding up or down the distant stair case, treading as upon velvet, gently keep his ear awake, SO long as he troubles not himself further than with some feeble guess at their errands. Exacter knowledge would he a burden to him: he can just en dure the pressure of conjecture. He opens his .eye faintly at the dull stroke of the muffled knocker, and closes it again with out asking * who was it V —He is flattered by a general notion that inquiries are mak ing inter him, but cares not to know the name of the iikiuirer. In the general istillness, and awful hush of the house, he lies in state, aniLfeels his soverekfity. !. 'To be sick is to enjoy tnonarchial pre rogatives.
