ORIGINAL POETRY.
THE RIVAL WREATHS.

Two playful Loves, at break of day,
Went forth in search of flowers;
To deck their brows with garlands gay
They sought the dewy bowers.

A rose-clad bank appear'd in sight;
And soon one blue-eyed vagrant
Intwined his sunny ringlets bright
With flowrets fair and fragrant.
His brother Cupid onward stray'd,
Unmoved by his alluring,
To where an amaranth display'd
Its blossoms long enduring.

The rose-crown'd Cupid laugh'd aloud
To see his humble brother:

"Let daylight cease ere thou art proud
And scoff,” replied the other.
They met again at close of day-
The roseate wreath had faded;
Poor Cupid wept in dire dismay,

His brow by thorns now shaded.
"I bade thee wait," his playmate cried,
"Till shades of night descended;"
And shew'd each purple flower with pride,
Among his fair hair blended.

These Howrets take, like buds of spring
The rankling thorns they'll cover :
So constancy a balm can bring
When Love's warm dream is over.

On reaching home in the afternoon, his complaint (an inflammation of the bowels) retarted with such violence, that he survived little more than twenty-four hours, his last words being addressed to his valet who was attending him " ****, I am dying!!"

THE HARMONICON; a Monthly Journal THE ETON COMPARATIVE

and Review of Music.

So many unprofessional persons-people of station and of the highest education-now turn their attention to music as a science, or cultivate their talent for it as an art, that a channel through

which they can, in a convenient manner, make known to the public their thoughts or their productions, is become more than ever necessary. It was partly with this view that the Harmonicon was at first established; and the increased. and still increasing, number of intelligent correspondents who favour us with their communications, furnish a satisfactory proof that we ought so far to deviate from our original plan, as to offer additional inducements for the exertions of writers who may not choose to print at their own risk, as well as to composers, amateur or otherwise, who have any motive for wishing to accompany their productions by historical or explanatory remarks.-At the end of every half-year, therefore, a handsome quarto volume, not too ponderous for the desk of a piano-forte, nor too little literary for the library-table, will in future be completed, with title, index, &c., an arrangement which will be attended by many beneficial results to the art generally, and, we have every reason to suppose, prove satisfactory to those who have, for a period of seven years, honoured our work by their notice."-Advertisement to the Har. monicon, for January 1830.
