of the facts of the case , on the contrary , it is weakened ; and one fatal , objection to Lady Temple ' s claim is this , that Lord Chatham must have had his suspicions aroused when he received the letters of Junius , if written by one , though the hand-writing was feigned and stiff , whom he knew so very well .

MANY YEARS AGO : THE ANCHORITE'S LAMENT .
BY BRO . EMRA HOLMES . MANY years ago , when summer winds were blowing , Ancl swallows' tender twitter was heard beneath the eaves , I sauntered by the arching vines , with mj sweet loveknowing
, That she would be my wife before the trees had lost their leaves . Happy by the river ' s marge , each bend fresh charms disclosing , Watching the swift tide as it eddied near the sea ; Listening to the nightingale—on the banks reposing—As its voice melodiously sounded o ' er the lea .
But the tempter came , and blissful dreams were ended ; So the love-talk passed away in a noble scorn ; Then it all departed , all that vision splendid , And I was left in misery , desolate , forlorn . Many years ago , friends I had unnumbered ;
Love and youth were on my side , no pain did I know ; Jealousy and calumny were the foes that slumbered ; Now lover , friends , and peace have left me many years ago .
