ing,is derived from talent and virtue. EUTHANASIA FROM SANNAZZARO. Spirit all beautiful and blest ! Enfranchised from thy mortal clay, Thou soarest to the realms of rest, Where, joined to the planet thou lovest best, Thy days in gladness glide away, As calmly thou scannest, with purer eye, Our lives below; and in the sky, Thou mid the glorious choir art beaming Like a noon-day sun; or treadest afar On the track of each errant star. There thou seest other mountains ; Other plains and shady groves ; Fresher flowers ; and brightly streaming Crystal tides from lovelier fountains ; And richer sunlight ever gleaming ; While, attuned to happier loves, Music heavenly sweet is sung, And oer the scented breezes flung, Tempering the elements on high, With sounds of rare enchanting melody. And always thus upon thy tomb, Fresh chaplets will we strew : Thither shall native offerings flow In still reviving bloom : Urned in our hearts will be thy memory ; Thy name upon our lips shall never die.

Their safest motto, isthat assumed by Hortense Beauharnois; Peu connue,peu troubMe. No one can envy the undying name ofthe Helens and Cleopatras of ancient days, though theirmemory may be inwoven with the first of poems, orhanded down to posterity in the dignified page of thehistorian, or in the majestic lines of the dramatist. Thefame of more modern heroines, of Catharine of Russia,or of Mary Stuart, has usually been obtained by crime orby misfortune. Even she who ranks among the first ofauthors, did not attain that dangerous pre-eminencewithout abandoning many of the softer and more retiringgraces of her sex, and without being exposed to much ofthe envy and detraction which celebrity seldom fails toensure to its possessor. But if an immortal memory canever be enviable, such, undoubtedly, is that of the wiseand beautiful Beatrice Portinari. Her mortal caretokenatlanticsou1836good
