" He was sad ;" a Ballad. By GEORGE LINLEY.

Unlike the song just noticed, this is a mere commonplace effusion, leaving no trace on the memory. If Mr. GEORGE LINLEY write for pro- fit, and can find purchasers for this sort of composition, he will do well to produce one such (and he is quite equal to the effort) every dayin the' year; but if for fame, he will more surely attain it by restricting

self to one a month. .
