The Stage.
See then where YATES majestic soars along , A theme that- claims the muse ' s noblest song . By Nature fa ' shion'd in a lavish hour , ' The peerless produce of her wond ' rous pow ' r . Though time lias touch'd her beauties with deca } -, Yet who-can still unmov'd her form survey :
Still must the e < iger eye deli ghted gaze On the decline of that transcendant blaze . And yet , whate ' er her matchless form can boast , Th' impressive actress claims our praises most ; For who like her , in pathos or in rage , With equal pow ' r can realize the stage ?
When her torn bosom with repentance swells , As wretched Shore ' s unhappy tale she tells , The g list ' ning anguish starts in ev ' ry eye , And the rapt croud re-echo ev ' ry sigh . Or when Medea ' s wrongs employ the scene , And the mind speaks through her disorder'd mien , hearers catch at
Her once congenial pain , Whilst ev ' ry accent fires the mad ' ning brain , And all , in unison with her despair , See not the actress but the woman there . Envy , who sickens at her tdw ' ring fame , Says ' tis her greatest merit to declaim ; But view her , sland ' rer , with unjaundic'd sight , And thy own breast shall soon refute the spite . .

ON FRIENDSHIP .
THE necessity of friendshi p is the precious source of all human virtue ; sweet necessity , prescribed by that First Cause which made it the comforter of the universe .

Friendship is real ; and if there be one only man who will affirm that he has felt but for moment the

The same sensation is doubtless more or less refined , more or less durable ; it is embellished with different shades in superior minds , and-its action is regulated by their different degrees of nobleness .
