    I saw the threatening cloud pass by Before it fell in show ' rs of woe , No time for dark despondency To gather on the gloomy brow ; Life brighten'd— and I heard the voice " Rejoice with them that do rejoice . " I would not take the meed of praise

    From kindness , soothing , pitying , tried I love the-friend of adverse days , In sorrow ever at our side , Whose watchful eyes attentive keep The mandate , " Weep with them that weep ;" But when I look through all the round Of mortal life , and see its good So Vainly sought , so rarely

    To the Editor . Sir , County of Cavern , April , 1827 . I have been anticipated in a few observations I had to make to your Reverend correspondent Clericus Anglicus : I wish much I could promise myself I would as probably be anticipated in those to which I have to solicit the favour of your best attention , on a subject comprehending the religious , philosophical and civil interests of the human race .

    I must entreat you not to be alarmed at this formidable , but , to my apprehension , strictly true enumeration of the principles involved in a disposition which I too frequently perceive to exist on the part of the liberal writers of the present day ; I mean the degree of respect , almost approaching to praise , with which they think it proper , almost upon all occasions , to speak of the Roman Catholic religion . I am not at present about to enter at any length upon these topics ; but I do request your permission to declare , through

    you , to that portion of the liberal public of England which has access to your pages , that as warm a friend to Catholic emancipation as any amongst them , and as uncompromising an advocate for the rights of man as any in existence , protests against that inadvertency which has induced so many of their number , in their advocacy of one great measure , to write and speak in terms of deference and of fajse candour of that religion connected with it , which is , of all others upon earth , the most opposed to those principles

    by which they exist as a religious body in this kingdom . I have many evidences of this feeling in my recollection : and on the part of the Dissenting interest in England , I mean , of the freer denominations , I really know of no exception to the imputation , save a spirited , though on one point , I conceive , a much mistaken , letter in the Morning Chronicle of the 6 th of February , ( one of the most inconstant prints in the world on this subject , ) commenting on a certain amusing , but not unimportant , speech of Mr . OConnelFs in the Catholic Association . . ¦
