neatness, the comfort, the gentleness,
the unaffected devotion, the accom-
plishments, and the virtues of the
brethren of the order, are well fitted
to strike the man of the world with
the conviction that there is another
and a better even in this life.— These
men are the priesthood of an oppres-
sed and a noble nation, which has par-
taken of the proscription and bonda-
ge of the Jews and of the Greeks, with-
out the sullenness of the former or
the servility of the latter. This peo-
ple has attained riches without usury,
and all the honours that can be awar-
ded to slavery without intrigue. But
they have long occupied, neverthe-
less, a part of the House of Bondage,
who has lately multiplied her many
mansions. It would be difficult, per-
haps, to find the annals of a nation
less stained with crimes than those of
the Armenians , whose virtues have

may have been their destiny - and it
has been bitter - whatever it may be
in future, their country must ever be
one of the most interesting on the
globe ; and perhaps their language
only requires to be more studied to
become more attractive. If the Scrip-

gard to the literature and customs of
that oriental people. They have an e-
stahlishment here - a church and con-
vent of ninety monks, very learned
and accomplished men, some of them.
They have also a press, and make
great efforts for the enlightening of
their nation. I find the languages
(which is twin, the literal and the vul-
gar) difficult, but not invincible (at
least Ihope not). I shall go on. I found
itnecessary to twist my mind round
some severer study, and this, as being
the hardest I could devise here, will
be a file for the serpent.

Nisibin, and assigned the limits of his
territory, one part from the west of
Syria, and Palestine and Asia, and all
the inland places and Thitalia from
the Pontic sea to the spot where Cau-
casus ends in the western Ocean, and
Atropatane, and » whatever else thy
prudence or valour may acquire. For
to the brave, he says, their arms are
boundaries, what they win, they wear».
He, when he had completely tran-
quillized his kingdom, and established
his power, desired to know, who and
what sort of men had reigned before
him over Armenia, and whether they
were valiant or indolent.

of things here whence it may he seen,
what was the worship in the temples,
or what was first or last done in this

For which reasons I pray thee, my

And shake him from thee ; the vile
strength he wields
For earth's destruction thou dost
all despise,
Spurning him from thy hosom to
the skies,
And send' st him, shivering in thy
playful spray
And howling, to his gods, where
haply lies
His petty hope in some near port
or bay,
And dashest him again to earth: —
there let him lay.

That sound the first amidst the fe-

And caught its done with Death's
prophetic ear;
And when they smiled because he
deem'd it near,
His heart more truly knew that peal
too well
Which stretch'd his father on a
bloody bier,
And roused the vengeance blood
alone could quell:
He rush'd into the field, and, fore-
most fighting, fell.

When these declare, «that pomp
alone should wait
On one by birth predestined to be
great
That books were only meant for
drudging fools,
That gallant spirits scorn the com-
mon rules »
Believe them not they point the

path to shame,
And seek to blast the honours of
thy name.
Turn to the few in Ida's early
throng,
Whose souls disdain not to condemn
the wrong;
Or amidst the comrades of thy

youth,
None dare to raise the sterner
voice of truth,
Ask thine own heart; 't will bid
thee, boy, forbear;
For well I know that virtue lingers
there.

feeble pride,
With long-drawn names that grace
no page beside
Then share with titled crowds the
common lot —
In life just gazed at, in the grave
forgot
"While nought divides thee from the
vulgar dead,
Except the dull cold stone that
hides thy head,
The mouldering 'scutcheon, or the

That well-emblazon'd but neglect-

Where lords unhonour'd, in the

One spot, to leave a worthless

That veil their dust, their follies,

P The coming morrow from thy youth-
ful mind
Will sweep my name, nor leave a
trace behind.
And yet, perhaps, in some ma-
turer year,
Since chance has thrown us in the
self-same sphere,
Since the same senate, nay, the
same debate,
May one day claim our suffrage for
the state,
"We hence may meet, and pass each
other by,
With faint regard, or cold and
distant eye.
For me, in future, neither friend nor
foe,
A stranger to thyself, thy weal or
woe,
With thee no more again I hope to
trace
The recollection of our early race:

Or hear, unless in crowds, thy well-

Still, ifthe wishes of a heart un-

To veil those feelings which per-

If these, —
