THE SONG OF ATEA4yC,";
The following beautiful and powerful stanzlsct'vy
Cutter, are copied from an American paper, caleti
ing Valley Register :
Harness me down m;th your iron bands, • -
Be sure of your curb and rein ;
For I scorn the power of your puny
As the tempest scorns a chain.
How I laughed, as I lay concealed from s
For many a countless hour,
At the childish boast of human might,
And the pride of human power.
When I saw an army upon the land,
A navy upon the sea., bands
Creeping along, a snail-like band,
Or waiting the wayward breeze;
When I marked the peasant faintly reel
With the toil which lie daily bore, ,
As he feebly turned at the tardy wile"
Or tugged at the weary oar.
pee 4 '
When I measured the panting courser's s
The flight of the carrier dove,
As they bore the law a king decreed,
Or the lines of impatient love; ld
I could not but think how the world W-a
As these were outstripped afar,
When I should be bound to the ruslive
Or chained to the flying car.
Ha! ha! ha I they found me at last,
They invited we fl,rth at length, Ad blOt"
And I rushed to my throne with thtleu"
And laughed in my iron strength.
Oh ! then ye saw a wondrous change
On the earth and ocean wide,
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind or tide.

Hurrah ! hurrah! the waters o'er,
Timhe
e—space—inshave
T mountains
yiel steep decldedine, to mY P"rer--.
The world! the world is mine!
The rivers the sun heti' earliest blest,
Or those where his beams decline;
The giant streams of the queenly IVes''
Or the orient floods divine.
The ocean pales where'er I sweep,
To hear my strength rej?ice,
And the monsters of the briny deep
Cower, trembling at my voice.
I carry the wealth and the lord of earth,
The thoughts of the god-like mind;
The wind lags after my
flying forth,
The lightning is left behind.
In the darksome depths of the fathomless mine
My tiresome arm doth play,
Where the rocks never saw the snn decline,
Or the dawn of the glorious day:
I bring earth's glittering jewels up
From the hidden cave below,
An: I make the fountain's granite cup
Witt, a crystal gush overflow.
I blow the bOows, I forge the steel
In all the shop..., of trade;
I hammer the ore anal turn the wheel
Where my arms of sizength are made;
I manage the furnace, the mill, the mint,
I carry, I spin, I weave;
And all my doings I put into print,
On every Saturday eve.
I've no muscle to wea, no breast to dealt
No bones to be " lairyd on the shelf;"
And soon I intend you may "go and play'
While I manage tbe world by myself.
But harness me down with your iron bends'
Be sure of your curb ,:nd rein,
For I scorn the strength of your puny bands
"
As the tempest scorns a Ch iin.
