TO THE CHILD OF SORROW,
Though clos’d in dirk affliction’s night.
Yet weep thou not, child of sorrow j
Forthough to-day grief ehrowds their I'ght,
Thy sup may brightly shine to morrow.
Though o'er thy head black tempests howl,
And mark thee with despair’s dark furrow i
Let not the gloom o’erwhelm thy soul.
But wiit with patience for the morrow;
^hile on the darkest shades o^ woe,
Of Hope iwtct consolation borrow ;
Kw will her beaming smiles bestow,
To gild with cheering ray thy morrow.
Or if that morrow darkly rise,
And thou art still immersed in sorrow;
,'th atill point beyond the skies.
And whisper, 44 There's another morrow."
Than let this cheer thy drooping heart..
m *2S,#uj®*7rbere griefosn never follow:
VS*. **?•**•* "miles impart,
Ob • itiil look lofVard to tbc morrow.

*Hy work is done, l’U go to bed.’
My work is done ! retorted Joan,
• My work is done! your constant tone*
• But hapless woman ne'er can say,
• My work is done, till judgment day.
• You men can sleep all night, but we

Tire this is done, with whimpering cries,
• And bristly hair, the children rise;
4 These muit be dressed, and doB’d with rue,

• We next’—liere Darby scratched his head,
And stole off grumbling to his bed j
And only said, as on she run.
• Zounds! woman s clack ia never done.
At early dawn, ere Pliotbus rose,
Old Joan resumed her tale of woe* j
When Darhv thua—‘ I’ll end the strife,
• Be you the man, and I the wife ;
•Take you the scythe and mew, while I
•Will all yoar boasted coorse supply*
• Content quoth Joan, give me my stint.'
This Darby did and out site went,
Old Darby rose and se.zed the broom.
And whirl’d the dirt about the room :
Which having done, he scarce knew how.
He tr ed to mdk the brindled cow.
The brindled cow whisk’d round her tail
In Darby’s eyes and kick’d the pail,
The clown, perplex’d with grief and pain.
Swore he’d ne'er try to milk again i
When turning round in sad amaze,
He saw his cottage in a blaze .
For as he ehsnc'd to brush the room
In careless haste he fired the broom.
The fire at last subdued, he swore
The broom anrt he would meet no’more.
Press’d by misfortune and perplex’d,
Darby prepared for breakfast next;
But what to get he scarcely knew,
The bread was spent, the butter sour.
Ilia hands bedaub’d with paste end flour,
Old Darby labour'd full an hour t
But, luckless wight! thou couldet not make,
The bteid take form of loaf or cake.
As every door wide open stood,
In pushed the sow in attest of food j
And stumbling onwards, with her snout
O’erset the chum—-the cream ran out,
As Darby turn’d, the sow to beat,
The slippery cream betrayed his feet t
He caught the bread trough in his fall.
And down come Darby bread and all.
The children, waken’d by the clatter,
Start up, andcry,‘ Oh ! what's the matter ?'
Old Jowler bark’d, and Tabby mew’d,
And hapless Darby bail'd aloud,
• Return, my Joan, a» heretofore,

Corrosive fluhlimate.~—!There is now, or
was very recently, living in Constantino
ple, a very extraordinary man, upwards
of 100 year* of age, generally known under
the name of “ ^oliman, the Eater of Sub
limate/’ This man, when young, accus
tomed himself, »s the Turks do, to swal
low opium j but having taken by degrees
t targe quantity, without producing the
leaned tirottjlic adopted the u^e of sub
limate, and, for upwards of thirty years,
yas taken & dram of sixty grains, a day.
lie would snrae'imeg go to the shop of'a
Turkish Jew and call for a drachm of sub
limate, which he mixed in a glass of water,
and drank it up immediately. T»ie first
time, the apothecary wtis very much alarm
ed, for fear he should be charged with
poisoning the Turk ; but he was struck with
amazement when he saw the same man
again on the next day who called for ano
the. dose. Lo-'d Elgin, Mr, Smith, and
several gentlemen now in England, have
met this extraordinary man ; and have
heard him say, that the sensation he ex
perienced after having drank that e.rtrnne*
ly active poison, was the most delicious lie
ever enjoyed—Such is the force of habit!
It is generally thought that since the days
of Mithridates, no one had ever made
constant use of such a substance.
