THE OUTCASr

BY LADY.
All wherefore dost thou shlycr here,
In Oceans spectre haunted cave,
Whilst round the cold expiring year,
The Spirits of the Tempest rave.
Hank, how the troubled waters sound,
Beneath the Chariot Of the Storm
All, me the wild winds whistling round,
Will freeze to death thy fragile form.
Dim in that hollow closing eye
Cleans the faint light of transient fires,
While thy cold heart scarce yields the sigh
That on thy frozen lip expires.
Oh, hear me, Sorrows lonely Child:
Far from the scene of terror fly;
All, can that face of beauty mild,
Brave the loud blasts that shake the sky
Yes, the meek charities Of home
Again shall warm thy troubled soul,
Lone tenant of the rocky dome,
And bid the tear Of transport roll.
i" All, many fierce Overwhelming blast,
" That awes the spirit of the sea,
/" Hath Ger yon surging pillows past,
/" Since this dim cavern SHELTERED me.
" lis mine to watch and trembe here,
IS Mid cliffs that stem the mountain wave,
" Whilst midnight S robe of darkness drear
" Hangs dreadful DER my echoing cave.
IS And here on Natures awful form
" ix my Soul, enrap.ur'd gaze,
Whilst thro' the curtain of the storm
q On her wild brow the meteors blaze.
Z" When twilights' shadowy gloom is spread
g And winter lights his Nortnern Star,
" Ii. here shroud my Orphan head,
" To mark the eemental war.
I" For ne no anxious Parent weeps,
" Nor Ger my homeless wandering mourns
" Deep in Jon surge my Father sleeps,
+" Whose white foam to the night star
burns.
"Thesc hoary cliffs that prop the skies,
's Ahd mock the tempest raging wild,
/" That echo'd to his dying groans,
8. Receives his wrc;ched outcast Child"

Prospects o5scur'd by distance family strike,
Each pleasure brghtens at its near approach,
ind cu'ry danger strikes sv;th doubie horror.
EUROPE is at prsscntconvulsedb con-
tention, and desolated by the ravages ofwar.
In the confusion Of new names and new dy-
nas;ies, the gcographer of 1880, would not
recognize old political ard topical distinc-
tons. Where natural differences, forbade a
union, an overwhelming power has forced a
connexion, and a revolution as sudden, tho
not as wonderful, as the feudal, has new.
modelled the Kingdoms aud republics of the
continent.
A,is natural, establishment and arprehen,
sion have arisen. The fer which the pru-
dent ought naturally to entertain, is unreal
sonably heightened by the t,Aoreus. Evil
botling anticipation, goaded by the present
gloom OF the prospect, Pourtrays the future
IN ssill more disaeartening colors. The ina
gination, always tinged with the predoni-
nant feelings of the mind, is unavoidably
disposed to clotheits conceptions liz its own
line and in the enthusiasm which succeed
ed the confirmation Of oar independence, our
expectations were as unreasonaby sanguine
as they are at present causelessly depressed
BY apprehension.
There are certain periods in the process
of human affairs, which are, by a concur
renee OF ordinary causes, big with extraor.
binary events, which to the Immediate spec
ta,ors Of them appear unnatural phenomena.
When these events are consigned TO the
page Of the historian, and depicted by dis
passionate reasoner upon them when, IN
stead OF being viewed by beholders or act
ors whose feelings are excited and interested
by them, they are composedly examined by
the philosopher in his closet, they lose the
incidental importance derived from their
connection with SELF, and the present. Dan
gers, particularly, like natural bodies in Vi
sion, enlarge their magnitude in proportion
10 their proximity, and reason is so operated
upon by situation, SO intimately connected
with passion and feeling, that it insensibly
substitutes the monstrous progeny of the
last, for lis own justly-propor,ioned off
spring.
