'Tis not the figure, form, nor face,
'Tis not the manner, air, nor grace,
'Tis not the smile nor sparkling eye,
'Tis not the winning look nor sigh.

There is a charm surpassing these,
A pleasing spell-like pleasure's breeze!
A joy that centres in the heart,
And doth its balmy sweets impart!

'Tis not the lure of beauty's power,
The skin-deep magnet of an hour;
It is--_affection's_ mutual glow,
That does the nuptial charm bestow!

UTOPIA.

of Raphael; and I therefore solicit the reader's attention to the
subjoined remarks on that master's unsurpassed genius.
