EHRENBREITSTEIN ON RHINE.

[Illustration]

Here Ehrenbreitstein, with her shattered wall,
Black with the miners' blast, upon her height,
Yet shows of what she was, when shell and ball
Rebounding idly on her strength, did light;
A tower of victory! from whence the flight
Of baffled foes was watched along the plain:
But peace destroyed what war could never blight,
And laid those proud roofs bare to summer's rain,
On which the iron shower for years had poured in vain.

_Childe Harold._

SPIRIT OF THE "ANNUALS."

We have the pleasure of presenting to the readers of the MIRROR, the
completion of our notices of these very elegant publications; and
in pursuance of the plan of our former Supplement, we are enabled
to assemble within the present sheet the characteristics of _eight
works_, whilst our quotations include _fourteen_ prose tales and
sketches, and poetical pieces, of great merit.

The above engraving and its pendant are copied from the _Literary
Souvenir_, specially noticed in our
