C. ] ODB SO SHB (TRANSLATED FROM THE RUSSIAN OF DERZHAZIN.) This Ode is Raid to have been translated into the Tartar and Chinese languages, written on silk, and suspended in the Imperial Palace at Pekin. The Emperor of Japan had it translated into Japanese, embroidered in gold, and hung up in the Temple of Jeddo. It is gratifying to learn that these nations hare bestowed such honours on this noble com- position. We believe that no man, however powerful his intellect and sublime his imagination, unacquainted with Holy Writ, ever did, or ever will compose so exalted a Poem. It abounds with Scriptural allusions. The finest parts of the Ode were written when the soul of the author, perhaps unconsciously, was wrapt in contemplation of passages in the Bible. One of the most exquisite verses in the Poem is that ia which the poet, fleeing from the nothingness of humanity, takes shelter in the gloriously consoling idea that the Divine Spirit shines in his spirit. "As shines the sunbeam in a drop of dew." Immediately after follow the words, "In Thee I live, and breathe, and dwell." Is it not manifest that the whole of this sublimely beautiful passage is borrowed from Acts xvii. 28 ? 1 1 O Thou Eternal One ! whose presence bright All space doth occupy all motion guide; 8 Unchanged through time's all everlasting flight. 4 Thou only God ! there is no God beside ! 2 5 Being above all beings ! Mighty One ! 6 Whom none can comprehend, and none explore; 7 Embracing all supporting ruling o'er: 8 Being, whom we call "God." I know no more 1 3 9 In its sublime research philosophy 10 May measure out the ocean deep may count 1 1 The sands or the sun's rays but, God ! for Thee 12 There is no weight, nor measure; none can mount 4 13 Up to Thy mysteries ! Reason's brightest spark, 14 Though kindled by Thy light, in vain would try 15 To trace Thy counsels infinite and dark; 16 And thought is lost ere thought can soar so high, 17 E'en like vast moments in eternity 1 5 18 Thou from primeval nothingness didst call, 19 First chaos, then existence. Lord, on Thee 20 Eternity had its fonndation ! All 21 Spring forth from Thee ! all light, joy, harmony ! 6 22 Sole Origin ! all life, all beauty, Thine ! 23 Thy word created all, and doth create I 24 Thy splendour fills all space with rays divine ! 25 Thou art, and wert, and shall be glorious ! great ! 26 Life-giving, life-sustaining Potentate I 7 27 Thv claims the unmeasured universe surround; 28 Upheld by Thee, by Thee inspired with breath ! 29 Thou the beginning and the end hast bound, 30 And beautifnlly mingled life and death ! 8 31 As sparks mount upwards from the fiery blaze, 32 So suns are born, so worlds spring forth from Thee! 33 And as the spangles in the sunny rays 34 Shine round the silver morn, the pageantry 35 Of Heaven's bright army glitters in Thy praise ! 9 36 A million torches lighted by Thy hand, 37 Wander, unwearied, through the blue abyss; 38 They own Thy power accomplish Thy command, 39 All gay with life, all eloquent with bliss ! I 40 What shall we call them ? Piles of celestial light ? 41 A glorious company of golden streams ? 42 Lamps of celestial ether burning bright? 43 Suns lightening sy terns with their joyous beams ? 44 But Thou to these, art as the moon to night ! I I 45 Yes ! as a drop of water in the sea, 46 All this magnificence in Thee is lost ! 47 What are ten thousand worlds compared with Thee ? 45 And what am I, then ? Heaven's unumbered host, I 2 49 Though multiplied by myriads, and arrayed 50 In all the glory of sublimest thought, 51 Is but an atom in the balance weighed 52 Against thy greatness ! is a cipher brought 53 Against infinity! What am I, then? Nought 1 3 54 Nought ! But the effulgence of Thy light divine, 55 Pervadading worlds, hath reached my bosom too ! 56 Yes, in my spirit doth Thy Spirit shine. 57 As shines the sunbeam in a drop of dew ! I 4 58 Nought ! but I live, and on hope's pinions fly 59 Eager towatds Thy presence; for in Thee 60 I live and breathe, and dwell; I lift mine eye 61 E'en to the throne of Thy divinity. 62 I am, God, and surely Thou must be ! I 5 63 Thou art ! directing, guiding all, Thou art ! 64 Direct my understanking, then, to Thee; 65 Control my spirit, guide my wandering heart. 66 Though but an atom 'midst immensity, 1 6 67 Still, I am something fashioned by Thy hand: 68 I hold a middle rank 'twixt heaven and earth, 69 On the last verge of mortal being stand. 70 Close to the realms where angels have their birth; 71 Just on the boundaries of the spirit-land ! 1 7 72 The chain of being is complete in me; 73 In me is matter's last gradation lost; 74 And the next step, is spirit Deity ! 75 I can command the lightning, and am dust ! 1 8 76 A monarch and a slave ! a worm, a god ! 77 Whence came I here, and how ? so aiarvelouslv 78 Constructed and conceived ! Unknown? This clod 79 Lives surely through some higher energy; 80 For from itself alone it could not be ! 1 9 81 Creator ! Yes ! Thy wisdom and Thy word 82 Created me ! Thou Source of life and good ! 83 Thou Spirit of my spirit, and my Lord ! 84 Thy light, Thy love, in their bright plentitude, 20 85 Filled me with an immortal soul, to spring 86 O'er the abyss of Death; and bade it wear 87 The garments of eternal day, and wing 88 Its heavenly flight beyond this little sphere, 89 E'en to its source to Thee ! its Author there ! 2 I 90 O thoughts ineffable ! visions blest ! 91 Though worthless our conceptions all of Thee, 92 Yet shall Thy shadowed image fill our breast, 93 And waft its homage to Thy Deity ! 22 94 God ! thus alone my lowly thoughts can soar, 95 Thus seek Thy presence Being wLse and good ! 96 'Midst Thy vast works, admire, obey, adore ! 97 And when the tongue is eloquent no more. 98 The soul shall speak in tears of gratitude .'

The Association of Ideas, which, if rightly regulated, may be made of immense service in facilitating learning by heart, if carelessly or unskilfully used, will prove equally misleading, retarding, and prejudicial. The utmost care should be taken in order to see that what is done, is done well. First, as far as possible, grasp the *neaning of that which you are about to learn, then try to fix in the Memory the first sentence or part of the first sentence, by uttering it, and picturing its meaning at the same time. If learning from print or writing, observe the position and appearance of the words, and the locality of the sentences also, and then remov- ing your eyes, try to repent from nteutiil sight. You should not proceed to the second sentence till your mind's tongue is as ready as, or in advance of, your mind's eye. You cannot be said to know a sentence thoroughly until you can repeat it without the slightest hesitation. In illustration of what has been said as to the mode of committing to Memory, let us lake the introductory remarks to the "Ode to the Deity." "This Ode is said to have been translated. "' These words are sufficient to take upon your tongue at once let every word j be fixed thoroughly. If you were 10 simply get the idea, you might express it in a great many different ways but the idea is not sufficient, you want the precise words. You might detect yourself saying " This Ode was translated;" if so, stop yourself at once by remarking. No ! It does not say positively "This Ode was," but "This Ode is said to have been," Smiting and fighting, 20 A sight to delight in, 21 Confounding, astounding, 22 Dizzing, and deafening the far with its sound. 2$ Reeding and speeding, 24 And shocking and rocking, 2o And darting and parting, 26 And threading and spreading, 27 And whizzing and hissing, And dripping and skipping, 2i> And whitening and brightening, 30 And quivering and shivering, 31 And hitting and splitting, 32 And shining and twining, ' And rattling and battling, 34 And shaking and quaking, 35 And pouring and roaring, 36 And waving and raving, 37 And tossing and crossing, 38 And flowing and growing, 39 And running and stunning, 40 And hurrying and skurrying, 41 And glittering and flittering, 42 And gathering and feathering, 43 And dinning and spinning, 41 And foaming and roaming, 45 And dropping and hopping, 46 And working and jerking, 47 And heaving and cleaving, 48 And thundering and floundering. 40 And falling and crawling and sprawling, 50 And driving and riving and striving, 51 And sprinkling and twinkling and wrinkling, 52 And sounding and bounding and rounding, 53 And bubbling and troubling and doubling, 54 Dividing and gliding and sliding, 55 And grumbling and rumbling and tumbling, 56 And clattering and battering and shattering. 57 And gleaming and steaming and streaming and beaming 58 And rushing and flushing and brushing and gushing, 59 And flapping and rapping and clapping and slapping, 60 And curling and whirling and purling and twirling, 61 Retreating and beating and meeting and sheeting, 62 Delaying and straying and playing and spraying, 63 Advancing and prancing and glancing and dancing, 64 Recoiling, turmoiling, and toiling and boiling, 65 And thumping and flumping and bumping and jumping, 66 And dashing and flashing and splashing and clashing, 67 And so never ending, but always descending, 68 Sounds and motions forever and ever are blending, 69 All at once and all o'er, with a mighty uproar 70 And this way the water crimes down at Lodore.

(11) Fresh in the Forenoon, he Forthwith Flew to the Fruit- ful Fields, and, not Forgetting Fenella, he Filched a Fair Flower; when a Foul, Frightful, Fiendish Figure Flashed Forth, "Felonious Fellow ! Fingering my Flower I'll Finish you ! Go, say Farewell to your Fine, Felicitous Family, and Face me in a Fortnight !" (12) The Faint-hearted Fisher Fumed and Faltered, and Fast was Far in his Flight. (13) His Five daughters Flew to Fall at his Feet, and Fervently Felicitate him. (14) Frantically and Fluently he unfolded his Fate. (15) Fenella, JForewith, Fortified by Filial Fondness, Followed her Father's Footsteps, and Flung her Faultless Form at the Foot of the Frightful Figure, who For- gave the Father , and Fell Flat on his Face; For he had Fervently Fallen in a Fiery Fit of love For the Fair Fenella. (16) He Feasted and Fostered her, till, Fascinated by his Faithfulness she Forgot the Ferocity of his Face, Form and Feature; and Frankly and Fondly Fixed Friday Fifth of February, For the affair to come off.
