POETRY.
LINES BY MILTON IN HIS OLD AGE. -
- This sublime and affecting- production was late
ly discovered among the remairs of the great epie
poet, and is published in the recent Oxford edition
of Milton's Works: , -
: I am old and blind ! '
Men point at me as smitten by God's frown ;
Afflicted and deserted of my kind;
Yet I am not cast down. :
I am weak, yet strong ;
, I murmur not that 1 no longer see ;
Poor, old. nd helpless, I the more belong.
Father Supreme t to Thee.
Oh! merciful One !
When men are farthest, then Thon art most near;
. When friends pass by, my weakness shun,
: Thy chariot I hear.
Thy glorious face
I leaning toward me ; and its holy light
Shines in upon my lonely dwelling-place,
And there is no more night
. On my bended knee
1 recognise Thy purpose, clearly shown ;
My vision Thou hast dimmed, that I may see
Thyself Thyself alone.
I have naught to fear ; '
This darkness is the shadow of Thy wing;
Beneath it I am almost sacred; here
Can come no evil thing. .
Oh ! I seem to stsnd
Trembling, where foot of mortal ne'er hath been
Wrapp'd in the radiance of Thy sinless land,
. Which eye hath never seen.
Visions come and go ; :
.Shapes of resplendent beauty ronnd me throng ;
From angel lips I seem to hear the flow
Of soft and holy song.
It is nothing now,
When heaven is opening on my sightless eyes
When airs from paradise refresh my brow, V
The earth in darkness lies.
Iu a purer clime " "
My being fills with rapture waves of thought
RollTin upon my spirit strains sublime
Break over me unsought.
Give me now my lyre !
I feel the stirrings of a gift divine,
Within my bosom glows unearthly fire,
Lit by no skill of mine.
KENNETH A ROMANCE.
May be found at "Pomerot's," Kenneth,
a Romance of the Highlands: by Reynolds.
The author has struck out a new path for
himself in the realms of fictionjone in' which
his lively and creative imagination may rev
el unbounded, and in which there is no
need of sullying his pages by the low. vitfes
and passions of human nature. Crime, of
some sort, however, it seems his vocation to
trace and delineate and in the lomance be
fore us, the great number of horrid murders
will be deemed by many its most objection
able feature. And yet, the number, we be
lieve, is not so great as in the Scottish Chiefs,
which has been, and now is, considered a
great and deeply interesting work. But Ken
neth is as far superior to the Scottish Chiefs
as Waverly is to Allemance. Apart from
the wild and daring feats of chivalry descri
bed, there is great tragic power in the most
important events detailed, and that thrilling
interest which rivets the eye to the page,
and carries away the mind in the deepest,
most absorbing attention. Those fond of
this description of literature will be well
pleased with Kenneth. We subjoin a pas
sage, not particularly selected, but favorable
enough to give some idea of the peculiar
and tragic scenes with which the work a-
bounds. It is the fatal termination of the ca
reer of one of the most important and deep
ly criminal characters of the Romance.
The Marquis of Allandale, after the failure
of all his ambitious schemes, and disastrous
defeat, was beleaguered in his own castle,
along with his two confederates, Indulfand
Eth M'Alpine, who discovered the treache
ry of his proceedings towards them, in seek
ing to treat for his own safety, without caring
for their lives and honor. The revenge of
the highland Chieftains was bitter and hor
rible. In the night time, the"y suddenly ap
peared with their followers beside the couch
of the sleeping Marquis, and sternly bade
him arise and accompany them :
"Slowly then, but calmly, did the Mar
quis of ADandale rise from his couch ; but
as he began to put on his raiment he felt
his hands trembling : aye, and his lower
limbs were shivering too: and yet it was not
with cold; for the summer night was warm
even to discomfort. No; it was the idea,
the dread idea, which had flashed to his
mind of what the manner of his death was
doomed to be so that its ignominy and not
its terror was now lacerating his secret scul!
"Your hand trembles, my lord," said In
dulf, in a contemptuous tone.
The Marquis made no reply, but flung up
on him a look of mingled scorn, hatred and
disdain.
He then proceeded with his hasty toilet ;
and though his hand still trembled and his
teeth chattered, yet were his features set
tled into the rigidity of firmness and resolu
tion. When the Marquis had finished dress
ing himself, Indulf made a sign to his men;
and with some of the nobleman's articles of
linen did they proceed to fasten his wrists
together.
"You might have spared me this indigni
ty," said the fallen peer.
"You would have spared us nothing,"
retorted Eth fiercely, and the Marquis said
no more.
Another signal was made by Indulf; and
gag consisting of a piece of leathern belt
rolled up was thrust between the nobleman's
teeth. This was another phase in the se
ries of indignities to which he submitted
with the haughtiness of one who would not
even by the slightest show of resistance suf
er it to appear that he felt the shame there
of. But still an agony of agonies was rack
ing his soul,- the pains of hell were alrea
dy tearing him with scorpion tortures there!
t And no7 the procession went slowly forth
from the chambera procession of death
moving along the silent gallery, lighted only
by the pale and fitful lamp which one of the
RrAlpine's followers carried in his hand.
On the right hand of the Marquis walked
Indulf; oh his left was the younger' brother;
each with a drawn claymore in bis hand,
ready to cut him dowc if he dared venture
on resistance. But this was scarcely pos
sible. ' Bound and gagged was he thus led
on to his doom; he Who had lately led ar
mies on to battle !
The idea of escape darted into his mind,
only to discard it in despair. The 6 words of
the AI'A'pines were ready to cut him down
should he attempt to dart away. Would it
not be better thus to die than by those other
means of wb.ich.1ie could not think without
a shudder. , No !- if he were assured of
meeting death from those naked weapon
there upon the spot well and good: but it
might not be so it were probable that he
might receive maiming, disabling, ghastly
wounds, and in that condition be still drag
ged onward to the fate which it thus seemed
impossible to avoid.
The mere process of revolving all these
ideas in his mind -of weighing, and balanc
ings and estimating the chances for and a1
gainst the desperate alternatives which sug
gested themselves, this process, we say
was in itself an excruciation : and thus did
it seem as if the wretched nobleman
marching on from horror to horror, even
through the mazes of his own self-torturing,
self-harrowing imagination !
They were now ascendiEg the stairs to
wards the roof of the Donjon ; and though
the tread of nine men thus proceeding along
stone passages and up granite steps, was
necessarily accompanied with heavy sounds
and awakened proportionate echoes, yet
did it appear as if none of the menials who
slept on the upper stories were awakened
by the noise. Not a door opened not a
countenance peeped forth to see what was
going on : sleep was then on every eye
Heavens ! that men could thus sleep, while
a fellow-man was being led past tueir very
chambers to the doom of.death.
And now the little procession . began to
mount the highest ascent of stone steps.
These were of a winding form, and circled
up a little turret whence a door opened on
the roof of the Donion. Here a sudden rst
of wind extinguished the lamp; and as the
prisoner with his guards emerged forth upon
the leads, they passed as it were into deep
darkness: but a darkness in the midst of
which something darker still might be disT
tinguished looming over their heads.
Now did the courage of the Marquis or
rather that unnatural fortitude which in his
very desperation he had been enabled to as
sume now did it gire way not gradually,
but breaking down suddenly and all in a
moment. A cold perspiration burst forth
all over him he was bathed in his own ago
ny. His knees trembled and seemed to be
giving way beneath him: a fearful pain seized
upon the pit of his stomach and his heart
beat so quickly and audibly that it appeared
as if a sledge-hammer was thumping against
his side. He felt his hair standing on end;
and even through the darkness did his eyes
glare in dread horror.
But not long did he remain in this pite
ous condition. The death preparations
were quickly made; and at the same time
that the fatal noose was fastened round his
neck, did the gag fall from between his lips
Then did it seem as if with the recovery of
his voice a ray of hope streamed into hrs
soul, and in quick, hurried, almost frenzed
accents, the wretched man cried out, -"Spare
me, oh spare me ! I am not prepar
ed to die "
" You have no mercy to expect at our
hands," answered Indulf, his voice sinking
deep down like the knell of doom into the
wretched nofcleman's.heart.
"No !" added Eth, more sternly still ;
"make such peace as you may with Heaven
for you have but a minute to live!"
Then the Marquis sank down upon his
knees, all cold and shivering, and strove to
induce his tongue to give forth syllables of
piayer. But.no as he looked up into the
blackness which hung upon the face of hea
ven, it seemed ominous of the doom which
awaited him in that, other world upon the
brink whereof he was hovering so that his
spirit, which for a moment had sought to
soar upward to the realms above, sank back
appalled, and with drooping wing from the
confines of a sphere bordered with such
Egyptian blackness. ' No he could not
pray; neither with the voice of his tongue
nor with that inward voice which every man
at .times hears whispering in the depths of
his soul. With neither could he pray!
One word more, then, of intercession to
the M'Alpines but no not even this could
his lipsnow frame; for horror had stricken
him dumb, and his throat was parched as
if he had been swallowing arid ashes.
The minute was passed a sudden word
of command fell from Indulf 's lips, and the
next moment
..The morning dawned above the eastern
hills; and in graud effulgence rose the orb
of day. Nature awoke to light and life again;
and the sheen of the orient heaven was mir
rored in Caledonia's lovely lakes, and reflect
ed in the dew-drops that spangled every
bough. ' But there what dark and ominous
thing is reared aloft, high above the loftiest
tower of Allandale, as if to catch, the glori
ous beams of this new born day?
The vow of the gibbet has been kept too
faithfully and too well; the gallows has re
ceived its victim. And behold, it is he who
made the oathit is the Marquis of Allan
dale himself, who hangs a lifeless ghastly
object to the black cross beam which the!
two fal spars sustain!1' j

CONSUMPTION.
Of all the numerous medicines extant, (and some
of them valuable) for the core of pulmonary com
plaints, nothing Las "ever been found which could
compare in its effects with this Preparation. Others
cure sometimes, but at all times and in all diseases
of the lungs and throat where medicine can give
relief, this will do it. It is pleasant to take, and
perfectly safe in accordance with the directions.
We do not advertise for the information of those
.-ho have tried it bat those who have not. Fami
lies that have known its value will not be without
it, and by its timely use, they are secure from the
dangerous consequences of Coughs and Colds
which neglected, ripenjnto fatal consumption.
; The Diploma of the-Massachilsetts Institute was
awarded to thireparation by the Board of Judges
in September, Is47;also, the Medals of the three
great Institutes of Art, in this country; also the di
ploma of the Ohio Institute at Cincinnati, has been
given to the Cherry Pectoral, by their Government
in consideration ot its extraordinary excellence and
usefulness in curing aJFections of the Lungs and
Throat.

experience of the eminent Physician of the Port
arid City of " ' -:"
ST. JOHNS, May 8, 1851.
Dr. J. C. Ayer,
Five years trialofyourCMERRY PECTORAL
in my practice, has proven what I foresaw from its
composition, must be true, that it eradicates and
cures the colds and coughs to which we, in this
section, are peculiarly liable.
I think its emial has not vet been discovered.nor
do I know how a better remedy can be made for the
distempers of the Throat and Lungs.

not only in the following cases, but a thousand
more:
Sudbury, Jan. 24, 1851.
Dr. Ayer: In the month of July last I was attack
ed by a violent diarrhoea in the mines of Califor
nia. I returned to San Francisco in hope of receiving-
benefit from a change of climate and diet.
My diarrhoea ceased, but was followed by a severe
cough and much soreness. I finally started for
home, but received no benefit from the voyage. My
cough continued to grow worse, and when I arri
ved in New York, I was at once marked by my
acquaintances as a victim of consumption. I must
confess that I saw no sufficient reason to doubt
what my friends all believed. At this time I com
menced taking your truly invaluable medicine with
little expectation of deriving any benefit from its
use. You would not receive these lines did I not
regard it my duty to state to the afflicted, through
you, that my health, :n the space of eight months,
is tuny restored. J attribute it to the use of your
Cherry Pectoral.
Yours truly, WM. W. SMITH.
Washington, Pa., April J 2, 1848.
Dear Sir: Feeling that I have been spared from
a prematura grave, through your instrumentality
by the providence of God, I will take the liberty to
express to you my gratitude.
A Cough and the alarming symptoms of Con
sumption had reduced me too low to leave me any
thing like hope, when my Physician brought me a
bottle ef your "Pectoral." It seemed to afford im
mediate relief, and now in a few weeks time has
restored me to sound health.
If it will do for others what it has for me. vou are
certainly one of the benefactors of mankind.
Sincerely wishing you every blessing, I am "
Very respectfully yours,
JOHN J. CLARKE,
Rector of St. Peter's Church.

stronger proof can be adduced unless it be from its
effects upon trial.

Premiums to Neto Subscribers !
f mWING to the late revolutions and counter-
revolutions among the nations of Europe
whico have followed each other in such quick sue
cession, and of which "the end ts not gel," the
leading periodicals of Great Britain have become
invested with a degree of interest hitherto nn
known. They occupy a middle ground between
me nasiy, aisjoiniea, ana necessarily imperfect
records of the newspapers, and the elaborate and
ponderous treatise to be furnished bv the historian
at a iuiure aay. 1 ne American Publishers, there-
tore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low prices at which
they are ottered to snbscribcrs. The following
their list, viz :
THE LONDON QUARTERLY. REVIEW.
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE

Quarterly " are Tory; the " Edinburgh Review,'

The " North British - Review" owes it establish
ment to the last great ecclesiastical movement in
Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on any on
ot the grand departments ot human knowledge
it was originally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now
since Ms death, is conducted by his son-in-law.

Its literary character is of the very highest order.
The " Westminster," though reprinted under that
title only, is published in England under the tide
ot the ' f oreign tiuarterlv and Westminster, it
being, in fact, a union of the two Reviews former
ly published and reprinted under separate titles.
It has, therefore, the advantage by this combina
tion of uniting in one work the be6t features of
both as heretofore issued.
The above periodicals are reprinted in New
York, immediately on their arrival by the British
steamers, in a beautiful clear type, on fine white
paper, and are taithtu! copies of the originals.
