A MADRIGAL. Pear, if you Knew what tears they shed. Who live apart from home and friend, To pass my house, by pity led, \ our steps would tend." Ami it yon knew what jubilees Begets, in sad souls, a friend's glance, You'd look up where my window is, As n by chance ! And if you dreamed how a friend's smile And nearness soothe a heart that's sore, You might be moved to stay awhile Before my door. Then if you guessed 1 loved you. sweet, Kua how my love is deep and wide, Something might tempt your passing feet. To come luside. —From the French. Olivet Entertains.

The thanks of England and America are certainly due to this little band for setrlinir this much-mooted question, as it lias been a matter of grave doubt in the minds of many for some time now j as to whether William S. was really the j nutiiorof the works bearing his name I or not.
