THE TALL GENTLEMAN'S APOLOGY.

UPBRAID me not;-I never swore eternal love to thee,
For thou art only five feet high, and I am six feet three;
I wonder, dear, how you supposed that I could look so low:
'Tis only some can tie a knot, though all may fix a beau.

Besides, you must confess, my love, the bargain scarcely fair, For never could we make a match, although we made a pair; Marriage, I know, makes one of two; but here's the horrid boreThe priest declares if you are one, then I at least am four.

"Tis true that moralists have said that love has got no eyes,
But why should all my sighs be heaved for one who has no size?
And on our wedding-day I'm sure I'd leave you in the lurch,
For you never saw a steeple, dear, in the inside of a church.

Tis usual for a wife to take her husband by the arm,
But pray excuse me should I hint a sort of fond alarm,
That when I offered you my arm that happiness to beg,
Your highest effort, dear, would be, to take me by the leg.

I do admit I wear a glass, because my sight's not good,
But were I always quizzing you, it might be counted rude;
And though I use a convex lens,-by all the gods! I hope
My wife will ne'er look up to me through a Herschel's telescope.

Then fare thee well, my gentle one! I ask no parting kiss,-
I must not break my back to gain so exquisite a bliss;
Nor will I weep lest I should hurt so delicate a flower,-
The tears that fell from such a height would be a thunder shower.

Farewell! and pray don't drown yourself in a bason or a tub,
For that would be a sore disgrace to all the Six Feet Club;
But if you ever love again, love on a smaller plan,
For why extend to six feet three, a life that's but a span !

LITERARY CHIT-CHAT AND VARIETIES.

MILITARY Memoirs of four Brothers who were engaged in the service of their country in the New World, Africa, and on the Continent of Europe, is in the press, edited by the Survivor.

The celebrated Barras, who acted so conspicuous a part in the French Revolution, died a short time ago in Paris, at the age of 72. He has left Memoirs of his Life and Times, which are to be published.

The Games at Chess, played between Edinburgh and London, are about to be published here, accompanied with Notes and Re marks.

Mr Carne, the author of Letters from the East, announces a Tale of the Civil Wars, entitled Strattan Hill.

GREEK SCHOOL-BOOKS.-In noticing, a few weeks ago, a work entitled "Greek Extracts, chiefly from Attic Writers," we said that Dalzell's "Collectanea Minora" was the only work formerly in use for junior classes. We have since learned, that both Professor Sandford, of Glasgow, and Mr Steele, of the Leith High School, had previously published books of a similar kind,-Mr Steele's being entitled "Greek Extracts, arranged under the different Dialects."

Music. We are happy to perceive, that the Edinburgh Professional Musicians, notwithstanding the little encouragement they have this season received to proceed with their Subscription Con. certs, have determined, at the suggestion of a considerable number of nobility and gentlemen, to unite their efforts in one Concert, which is to take place on the 24th inst. We are in general liberal enough in our patronage of strangers, and we hope we shall on the present occasion show ourselves equally so towards talent resident among us.

seems a strange thing that the people of Great Britain must be taught by the author of "Broad Grins," what is proper for them to hear. On Monday last, a bumper house was attracted to our Theatre by Miss Isabella Paton's benefit. Between the play and farce, her sister, Miss Eliza Paton, sung several songs, which elicited much applause.-We observe that the new play of "Caswallon," in which, we believe, there is introduced a great deal of fine old Welch music, is to be brought out here next week.

BY W. AINSLIE, M.D.

That the great bard,-what need to tell the name?
In other times should still more mighty be,
At Heaven's command, behold a Garrick came ;
And both were crown'd with immortality!
So to the earth, in these our later days,
Was Thom, with his soul-breathing chisel, sent
That Burns, enwreathed in everlasting bays,
Should speak again, in living adamant.

TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS.

For the author's sake, we do not intend noticing Barbour's "Evenings in Greece.'

We should wish "Verus" to favour us with his name, in which case we may probably make some use of the article he has sent us, though not in the shape of a review.-We do not consider the "Puns on Paley" entitled to a place. We suspect the suggestion of "A Subscriber" cannot be gone into.

We shall be glad to hear again from the author of the "Opening of the Sixth Seal."

We are obliged, by the good wishes of our London Correspondent, who has sent us "The Parting," of which the last verse is the best,

"O, ne'er did joy and grief with me

Keep such convenient measure;

If I must lose the sight of thee,

I pay too dear for pleasure."

Theatrical Gossip.-A comic piece, in three acts, called "The" Margaret," by " R. W." of Falkirk, contains some pretty Widows Bewitched," from the pen of Mr Lunn, has been played with applause at Covent Garden. An opera, called "Yelva," written and composed by Bishop, has entirely failed at the same theatre.-Miss Smithson, who was so much run after at Paris, has made an engagement with the Managers of Covent Garden.-Madame Vestris, it is said, is about to be led to the hymeneal altar by somebody at Bath.-Colman, the Deputy Licenser, has advanced a claim to the power of licensing Oratorios as well as plays. It

E." of Aberdeen, his Stanzas shall have a place.-The "By a StuLines on "Ossian," on "Burke," on "Eliza," and " dent," will not suit us.

Mr CHAMBERS invites the attention of Ladies, Gentlemen, and Families, towards his very extensive collection of recent books for circulation, of which the above, added within a few them a tolerable specimen. He now, at the end of several years weeks, at an expense of about THIRTY-FIVE POUNDS, may give most successful exertion, distinctly mentions to all those who are fond of reading new books, that at no library out of London, Bath, one or two of the English watering-places, and least of all, in Scotland, is there to be always found such an excellent choice of fresh amusing works. The terms of reading are, besides, not higher than at some Scotch Libraries where there is scarcely a tithe of the new books received.-Packages sent to any part of Scotland same as from Bond Street.

There is at present for sale at this Library, 500 Volumes of capital duplicates of Novels, Tales, Travels, Tours, Periodicals, &c., all in the very best order, and mostly of recent date. Their price is precisely Two Shillings a volume. Good bill will be taken for the amount, or a discount of 4 per cent. There very rarely occurs an opportunity of purchasi a neat choice stock of books for circulation,

MONT BLANC.

A SONNET.

[WHEN Captain Markham Sherwill lately ascended to the sum-
mit of Mont Blane, he was surprised to observe the greater
apparent distance, and feebler splendour of the moon and stars.
The vault of Heaven, too, seemed higlaer, and of a darker
colour.]

WHEN bold Emprise, by thrilling hopes and fears
Alternate sway'd, hath each dread peril pass'd,

even better than he does that of the inimitable Long Tom Coffin. -Miss Phillips has been playing Imogen, and the critics differ about it. This very circumstance proves, that Miss Phillips is not a Miss O'Neil; wherever there is true genius, criticism involuntarily hides its head and blushes at its own littleness.-The annual expenses of Covent Garden amount to about fifty-four thousand pounds, and the nightly, consequently, to between three and four hundred. The nightly receipts, on the other hand, we are informed by the London Weekly Review, do not at present average above one hundred and fifty pounds. The pros pects of the manager, therefore, must be amazingly pleasant.It is said that M. Scribe, the French dramatic writer, has realised during the year 1828, from the performance of his different

And Mount Blanc's snow-bound summit reach'd at pieces, the sum of £5000. It is not every scribe that is equally

last,

Remoter shine the eternal starry spheres,

More distant walks the moon, 'mid deeper blue,

And Heaven's vast dome dilates, and higher seems
The way-worn pilgrim sees, with wond'ring view,
Each star decline, and pale its wonted beams.
So, when Ambition hath from life's low vale

Our footsteps lured, when, danger's path defied,
We've gain'd, at length, with fortune's fav'ring gale,
The wish'd-for place-the pinnacle of pride-
The phantom Bliss thus mocks our cheated eyes,
For farther as we mount, the dear delusion flies!

LITERARY CHIT-CHAT AND VARIETIES.

A VOLUME of Tales, under the title of Sketches of Irish Character, from the pen of Mrs S. C. Hall, the amiable and talented editor of the Juvenile Forget-Me-Not, is announced for publication in April.

The new and revised edition of the Waverley Novels, (which we formerly announced) to be published in monthly volumes, is to make its appearance in June next. It is to be dedicated by permission to the King, and is to be embellished with frontispieces and vignettes, from designs by Wilkie, Leslie, Newton, Landseer, and other eminent artists. The general Preface will contain an account of the most curious and interesting circumstances connected with the original production of the different works, as well as of the various legends and family traditions which form the ground-work of the Novels. Some information will also be given as to the places where the scenes are laid. The work will be exceedingly moderate in price;-" Waverley" will be contained in two handsome volumes, and will cost only ten shillings. Sir Walter Scott's new Novel of Anne of Geierstein may be expected by the end of March, or early in April,

A full and general history of America, from the landing of Columbus to the present time, is announced by Mr Kendall.

An American annual, for 1829, called "The Token, a Christmas and New Year's Present," has been published at Boston. It is much inferior to our own in point of embellishment, but contains several highly respectable compositions both in prose and

successful.-There is to be a grand musical festival at Chester,
next September, for which Braham, W. Phillips, and Miss Pa-
ton, are already engaged.-Miss Paton has been making a pro-
vincial tour, but returns to Covent Garden next month, and is
to appear in a new Opera by Rossini, to be called "Normans and
Saxons," the story of which is taken from "Ivanhoe."-An Opera,
the music chiefly by Liverati, called, "Carron Side, or the Or-
phan of Portugal," has been performed here, but not with the
success it merits. The sudden death, as it were, of a relish for
dramatic entertainments in this city, is to us quite unaccountable.
The receipts for the last two months cannot have averaged £20,
a-night, whilst the nightly expenses are £40. If this goes on,
Edinburgh must soon be without a theatre, and Mrs Siddons and
her brother must look for that patronage in London which has
been denied them here. This is rather a startling truth; and we
hope such a catastrophe will be averted before it be too late.
