ORIGINAL POETRY.

A THE PLedge.
COME, let your cup flash sunshine-like
To friends now far away:
"Here's to the absent and the loved!"
The absent, did you say?

And wherefore should we drink to them?
It is a weary toast:
What boots it to recall the friends

Whom we have loved and lost?
Fast cuts our good ship through the sea-
What does it leave behind ?
There is no path upon the wave,

No track upon the wind.
Like that swift ship we have past on,
And left no deeper trace;
The circle parted from at home
Has now no vacant place.
Fewer and happier years than mine
On thy young brow are set;
Soon thou wilt learn Time's easiest task
Is teaching to forget.

I'll fill as high, I'll drink as deep-
Or, must a toast be said?
Well, here are all I ever pledge-
"The present and the dead!"

WE can hardly express a higher opinion upon this publication than by saying that it is equal to the first volume, With effects generally original, there are also a multitude of lesser musical combinations new to the ear accustomed chiefly to Italian music and native productions. In the hands of Moschelles it may well be supposed that no characteristic feature or beauty, worthy of preservation, would be suffered to lose its interest, or fail to assume its due importance.
