THE DUBLIN PENNY JOURNAL. tl tains astatue, executed with conspicuous talent and dedelicacy. The crosier is of excellent workmanship, and in the right hand is a sprig of trefoil, emblematic of the Trinity. The table, or altar-slab, on which this figure reclines, is covered with trefoils and roses. " Several other disfigured monuments of ecclesiastics may be discovered amidst the rubbish with which the abbey. church is now choked up. The roof of the steeple, over the cross transept, is curiously groined with springers, that are supported on each side by corbels of a neat ornamental form. The nave and transepts are uncovered. THE ROCKING STONE, ISLAND MAGEE. On the southern shore of Brown's bay, Iland Magee, county of Antrim, near high water mark, is a large stone supposed to weigh ten or twelve tons, commonly called the rocking stone, froni its being slightly tremulous when pressed by the hand. From this circumstance it is supposed by some to have been a logan, or rocking stone, formerly used as an agent in the superstitious rites of the Druids, and their mystical inter pretations. This, however, appears a very fancifol opinio), as from the difficulty of giving this stone even a slight vibration, it was ill calculated to impress upon the people the occult power of the Druids, whose pretended miracles must have been calculated to deceive. Indeed, the fact in this case seoms to be that, the earth and sand having been washed away from the base of this large stone by the influx of extraordinary tides, a knob has been formed beneath, which, acting as a kind of pivot, is the cause of its vibratory motion. Of late, by some means, this stone has been forced from its former position, nearer to the beach, and appears destined at no distant period to be precipitated into the sea, and to be rendered more agitated by Neptune, than ever it was by the Druidial priesthood. Rocking stones, supposed to be of Druidical erection, lave-been found in almost every country in Europe, and also in several parts of America. Near a place called Durham, in the United States, is a stone weighing between fifty and sixty tons, so nicely poised that it is moved by the wind; and at a town called Stanton is another stone that can be moved by the hand, though it is thirty -one feet in circumference. S. M. S. T THE JUVENILE FORGET ME NOT." EDITED BY MRS. C.S. HALL. With this entertaining and instructive little publication, we shall close our notice of the Annuals for 1834. Though last, its claim is certainly not the least to a fair proportion of our favorable regard. It contains numerous articles well suited to the class of readers for whom it is intended. The pleasing and instructive articles "On the formation of Hail and Snow," "The First Mariners," Asiatic Adventures," "The Traveller," and several of a similar cast, render the little work decidedly valuable, and well fitted to put into the hands of young persons, Dash, dash the tyrant's cuip away; Burst his fetters--spurn Iiis sway, Who will tremble, who obey ? By all we hate--not I By our nests upon the rock ; By their hands who tend our flock; By the Switzers, branch andt stock ; By all we love--not IC By our country's mangled crest; By those fangs that tore her breast; By the bravest and the best Who fought and fell at her behest; By their first and their last ret; By them-by all-AwAY P'OL AND Shall fair freedom's oppressor now sink in replo;c, And shall glory illumine her bitterest foes ? Shall the patriot sink ifnder tyranny's chains, And weep in the dungeon where slav'ry reigns ? Ah i no, it can't be, for Britannia's best pride Is to conquer for freedom or fall by her side. Poland's enslaved! sons of Albion arise! Let the sweet cry of freedom be raised to the skies; Let her banners victorious-be waved on each height, And summon each brave one to liberty's fight; Let the autocrat know, that Britannia's best pride Is to conquer for freedom or fall by her sidle.
