A softly sweet glance of the eye, and love without wantonness; The salute of a fair máid on a verdant glade;

A faithfully discreet love-messenger, and a friend of good understanding;

Amiableness in conversation, and the hatred of an old jealous

pate;

A secluded walking-place to caress one that is fair and slender; To love one that loves me, and to obtain one that may ad

vise me;

To reside by the margin of a brook in a tranquil dell of dry soil;
A house small and warm, fronting the bright sun-shine ;
A wisely indited book of genius, profound in reflection;
The visiting of poets, and the welcoming of the wise;
The disputation of songs, and expressions correctly sweet;
To enjoy my friends from among bards pre-eminent;
To enjoy my mistress in the bands of ardent love;
And, in having the fond fair, while I live to conceal her.

EXCERPTA,

THE subject of the following excerptum is one of considerable interest to those, who take any delight in tracing to their source the various mythological superstitions, that anciently composed the religious creed of the greatest part of the earth. For, by ascertaining the affinities that exist, in this respect, between such portions of the globe as are most remotely dissevered, we arrive at a demonstrative conclusion, that the customs or traditions, in which this similarity prevails, must be traced to one common origin. Thus it appears to be with respect to the mythological notions of the Hindoos and those of the ancient Cymry, between which there are several points of resemblance, that never could have been the result of mere accident; they must have been the wrecks of that primitive system, which prevailed amongst both nations, when united, during the infancy of the world, in one social community. The following letter, extracted from the Monthly Magazine, touches but partially on the subject; yet, what little it communicates is particularly interesting, and the more so, as coming from a writer so well qualified to make the necessary researches. It is our intention, on a future occasion, to enter more at large into this curious enquiry *;
