POETRY.

To pour her benediction on each headVain wish to purer climes the spirit's fled.

We weep for Her whose energetic mind, From every low and selfish thought refin'd,

Still ceaseless strove new blessings to impart,

To heal the wounded, bind the broken heart,

My Mother! let me call thee by that name,

That tender epithet thou well may'st
claim,

My comforter when in adversity,
My counsellor, my guide, or if there be
A name than parent dearer, it is thine,
In whom the worth of each at once
combine.

How oft with silent pleasure have I gaz'd
On her blue eye to heaven unconscious
rais'd,

Caught Wisdom's honey'd accents from her tongue,

And on her words with filial rapture hung!

Whate'er the theme, 'twas with instruction fraught;

From her abundant stores with ease she brought

Treasures of knowledge, and diffused

around

Some portion of the peace herself had found.

But chief she lov'd, from youth to hoary

age,

To search with rev'rence due the sacred page;

From thence her highest, sweetest joys were drawn ;

Her path with still increasing splendour shone;

Her lamp was ever burning, and her

care

Was daily for her summons to prepare.
Though Time had shorn her wonted
strength, and shed

Its venerable honours on her head,
Whate'er her pious mind as duty view'd,

To instruct the ignorant, the youthful With unabated vigour she pursu❜d.

guide,

And lead the wanderer back to virtue's side,

The orphan's guardian, the lorn widow's

friend;

Such varied excellencies in her blend.
Her pure beneficence no rules confin'd,
Free, like the sun, it flow'd for all man-
kind.

Oh! can I ere forget her generous aid,
When Grief's oppressive hand was on me
laid?

Disease combin'd to waste life's feeble pow'rs,

And dark despair had veil'd my future

hours:

Then, like a minist'ring angel, she appear'd,

And at her bidding, Hope the prospect cheer'd.

Though wing'd with health and peace the ev'uing fled,

The morning saw her number'd with the

dead;

And that blest day to her so much endear'd,

A day of gloom and darkness then appear'd.

No more, alas! that voice so lov'd I
hear,

Or view that form to me supremely dear,
Or feel the pressure of that friendly hand,
Or list to schemes Benevolence had
plann'd,

Or mark with joy no language can im-
The smile which spoke a volume to my
part
heart-

All, all are gone, but deeply in my breast
Shall their remembrance ever be imprest.

As o'er the verdant lawn I stray,

Tinhale the cheering breath of morn; While health and peace their charms display,

And Ceres fills her bounteous horn;
Thee, faithful Trim, will I address,
Of leisure hours companion true:
And while thy merits I confess,

To thee my kindness I'll renew.
What tho' my larder be not stor❜d,

With choicest game, by lux'ry priz'd; I'll envy not the sumptuous board,

Where pain and sorrow lie disguis'd. Tho' pleasure's vitiated taste,

Thy humble, honest worth disdain ;
Oppression never steel'd thy breast,

To others ne'er didst thou give pain.
The whirring partridge to ensuare,
By base dissimulation's art;
To chase the feeble, timid hare,

(Poor triumph of a generous heart!) These are not thine,-nor dost thou

When she her sable curtains draws,
And slumbers lock the peaceful soul,
The ruffian skulks without remorse

In vain, if thou his plots controul,
And in the morning pleas'd to hear
Thy master's step, by custom known;
Transported dost thou then appear,

And nature calls thy joys her own.
Then bounding in thy playful mood,
In wanton sportings seem'st to try
On my reflections to intrude,

Or catch the wandering of mine eye.
To chase the birds in harmless speed,

To swim the silent stream along,
With pond'rous stone to sweep the mead,
These are thy sports and shall be

sung.

Or if, to enjoy the smiling scene,

I seat myself upon a stile,
Squat at my feet thou soon art seen,

And patient waitest all the while.
From helpless days I've seen thee rise,
And ne'er abus'd thy confidence ;
Beshrew the cruel heart that joys

Unfeeling rigour to dispense!
In that firm pledge, that well repays
Each mutual duty-we will join;
Fidelity shall be thy praise,

And mild protection shall be mine.
And when with age thou art oppress'd
And active sprightliness is o'er,
I'll prize thy merit once possess'd,
And tenderly thy loss deplore.
While meditation thus employ'd,

Sees all thy powers to nature true;
Deep in my breast may she abide,
Serene her joys, but ever new!

OBITUARY.

October 1, at Plymouth, G. H. STRUTT, Esq., of Milford, Derbyshire, eldest son of G. B. Strutt, Esq., of Belper, in the same county. The death of this amiable man, in the very prime of life, and amidst every promise of extensive usefulness, may be regarded as a loss to society at large, as well as to the family circle of which he was the delight and the ornament. Gentle and modest in his deport ment, affable and courteous in his manners, kind and benevolent in his dispositions, he won the regard of all who enjoyed his acquaintance. Possessing a mind alive to the beauties of nature and to the attractions of the fine arts, his conversation was easy, interesting and improving. His scientific acquirements, particularly on subjects connected with mechanical philosophy, were highly respectable; and his improvements in the arrangements of the extensive works at Milford and Belper bear testimony to his skill and genius. In agricultural employments he took a lively interest, and conducted an establishment of this nature, on a plan which rendered his farm a just object of admiration, and a model for his neighbourhood. His acquaintance with subjects of political economy was correct and practical, and the benevolence of his character led him so to apply his information, as to promote the interests of the numerous work-people under his influence. His plans for their welfare were not of a visionary and impracticable nature, but tended at once to inculcate a spirit of industry, order, cleanliness, sobriety, and thus to secure the real independence of the poor. Institutions for the diffusion of knowledge among them, had his zealous support and active services; and, indeed, nothing which concerned this important portion of his fellow-creatures was regarded with indifference by him. Judicious as were the arrangements already carried into practice under his superintendence, he entertained yet more enlarged views for the amelioration of their condition. But his early death has broken off these virtuous purposes of his mind, and bequeathed to his survivors the duty of giving full effect to his benevolent intentions. He bore an anxious and protracted illness with manly and Christian fortitude. For months before his decease, he wished, for life only as it might be the means of lengthened usefulness, and even when he deemed his recovery hopeless, and was perfectly resigned to the dispensations of Providence, he still thought it an act of

duty to his family to neglect no means of restoration which the tenderness of friendship suggested might be effectual. Under the full assurance that he could not survive the ensuing winter in England, he prepared to avail himself of the milder climate in the South of Europe, and had reached Plymouth, on his way to Falmouth, with the view of embarking from that port. Soon after his arrival there the symptoms of his disorder increased, and he resigned his spirit to Him who gave it.

At Constantinople, on the 26th of August, J. DOUGLAS STRUTT, Esq., aged 27, only son of Joseph Strutt, Esq., of Derby. This amiable young man left his native country, fourteen months ago, on his travels for the gratification of his taste, and in pursuit of intellectual improvement. He traversed France, Switzerland and Italy, visited Sicily and Malta, and from thence, such of the Greek Islands, as the lately troubled state of the times and the prevalence of the plague rendered accessible. In the course of his interesting tour, he collected many excellent specimens of natural productions, and was successful in obtaining some valuable relics of classical antiquity. Several packages, containing beautiful works in sculpture and painting, had been already sent by him to England, and he is understood to have had in his possession, at the time of his lamented decease, other proofs of the delighted attention which he was paying to the study of the fine arts. He was at Naples immediately before, and at the time of the Austrians entering that city; and there, and subsequently at Messina, he narrowly escaped with life from the violence of an ungoverned soldiery. In his course from Malta to Corfu, the vessel in which he sailed was in imminent hazard of shipwreck from the violence of a storm. His ultimate project was to reach even Egypt, that land of early science and remote antiquity. But on his voyage from Smyrna to Constantinople he was seized with a malignant fever incidental to the climate. He was considered dangerously ill on his landing at Constantinople, and was conveyed to the apartments which had been previously prepared for him at Pera, in the environs of that celebrated metropolis. But notwithstanding the judicious and unceasing attentions of Dr. Mac Ouffog, the Physician to the British Embassy and Factory, and the skill of two other eminent physicians, aided by the
