■T CHAM.CS *Wai*.
Radiant from thy throuv of morn,
Summer, comet
Saving has wreathed the blossom’d thorn,
Roses wait thee to be born—
Summer, come!
Come—there’s glory on the lea,
Cong of insect, bird and bee :
Earth is calling but for thee—
Summer, come!
Whither would’st thou wing so soon?
Summer, stay !
What though fled each fleeting boon,
Fled the rosy joy of June—
Summer, stay!
In thy light our lore wa< cast—
Link some feeling to the fast j
Leare us not to meet the blast !—
Summer, stay I
She tf gone—her reign was brief—
Autumn shows
Field and rale with golden sheaf—

To its close;
Whilst the shortening day afar
Cometh on its cloudy car;—
And, ’midst elemental war,
Winter blows
GREAT KEN'S DESCENDANTS.
It is somewhat singular that many greal
sitla. in ancient as well as modern times
har#.^rt*her left no male children, or arc
fw v’Represented through the [ejj&sta |me
or fay collateral connection; ln our 0wn
land the name of Wasl>r,igton stands fore
most. He was cbiMfess. So were Mad
ison, Jackson,, jfod Polk. Jefferson is
presenter-through living descendants,
ty Uifi daughter only. Aaron Burr hnd a
daughter, but no son. Winfield Scott has
daughters only. James Buchanan, Wash]
ington Irving, WiIJiam Rufus Kir.g, and
viiicia, who were uisimguisneu as siaies*
men, and scholars, have never married.
It is the same way in France. Cor
neille, Racine, and Moliere, were child
less. Voltaire was unmarried. Bona
jmrte ia represented only by his nephew.
Guisot one Thiers have no children. Id
other countries, of Europe, the sains rule
eesms to obtain. Shakspeare, Bacon,
Newton, and Locke, left no male descen
dants. Milton’s family consisted of two
daughters. Ben Jonson left no male heir.
Pope, Fielding, Smollett, Sterne, Steele,
Addison, Bolingbroke, Johnson, Gold
smith, Hayley, Cowper, Wilkes, Thur
low, and a long array of eminent literary
and legal men, were either unmarried, or
had no male children by their wives.
The Duke of Marlborough, the Welling
ton of his day, lost his only son early, and
his duchy descended to his daughter, by
act of Parliament, finally going to her
nephew, the Earl of Sunderland, when
the Churchill family thereby became super
seded by the Spencer family. Lord Hill's
title descended to his nephew; Lord Nel
son’s to his brother. Lord Lynedoch,
Lord Beresford, Sir Charles Napier, and
Other*, left no sons. Lord Clive’s titles
have descended to the Powis family,
through his daughter, The newly made
Lord Clyde, better known as Sir Colin
Campbell, is an old bachelor.
In literary men, the want of succession
is very apparent. To the names already
Enumerated here, we could add others of
mark and note. Reginald Heber left no
son. Both of Lord Brougham’s daughters
are dead. Lord Lyndhursl had no son.
Thomas Moore has now no descendant:
all his children died during his life-time.
Byron and Scott are represented only by
the children of tleir daughters. James
Montgomery was unmarried. William
Pitt and Lord Liverpool were never mar
ried. Burke’s only son died before his
father. Lord Wellesley, Fox, and Pal
merston, had no legitimate children.
The above principle seems very general.
We merely state the facr: those who have
more leisure may endeavor to ascertain
the cause.—[Philadelphia Press.
Ducllino.—Mr. Charles W. Button, editor
of the Lynchburg Virginian, speaks thus of
duelling, in connection with a recent personal
controversy: “Whatever motive may be at
tributed to me for the expression of an opinion
long entertained, I do not hesitate to-pronounce
my abhorrence of every principle of the “code
of honor,” falsely so called. No man, in my
j nigment, entertaining a proper sense of his re
sponsibility to his family, to society, and to his
Maker, can recognise it; and these responsi
bilities press with far more weight upon me,
.ml give jne (ar more concern, man me iuio
clamor of those who may choose to fix their
standard of mere animal courage.”
