"Tais sorld is all u feeting shoe"
There is an hour Of peaceful rest,
To mourning wand'rers given;
There is tear for sous distrest,
A balm Tor ev'ry wounded breast
-Tis found above in Heaven!
There is a soft, a downy bed,
IT'S fair as breath OF even;
a couch for weary mortals spreads
Where they may rest the aching bead,
And 6ud repcse in Heaven!
There is home for weeping souls,
By sin and sorrow driven;
When tosr'on lifes' tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise, and ocean1olls,
And all is drear-but Heaven!
There faith lifts up the fearful eye,
The heart with anguish riyen:
And views the tempest passing by,
The evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene, in Heaven!
There fragrant flow IS immortal bloem,
And joys supreme are given;
There rays divine, disperse the gloom,
Beyond the confines of the tomb,
Appears the dawn Of Heaven! w.
IN the itb Canto Of Lord Byron's Chilae
Harold, jus, republished by Mr.. Thomas,

10 this country. The contrast which IS
drawn between us and France, is equally
fattering and just. (Ph,tdd. u"aon.
Can tyrants hut by tyrants conquered De,
And Freedom find no champion and no

Such as Columbia saw arise, when she

Or must such mind be nourish'd in the wild,
Deep in the unprun'd forest, midst the roar
Oh cataracts, where nursing nature smiled
On infant Washington Has earth no more
Such seeds within her breast, or Europe no
such shore
Ba! France got drunk with blood to vonit
crime,
AID fatal have her Saturnalia been
ToFreedom S cause, in every age and cline:
Because the deadly days which we have
seen,
And vile ambition that built up between
Nan and his hopes an adamantine wall,
And the base pageant cast upon the scene,
Are grown the preteyt for the eternal thral

Projected Voyages 10 The North Pole.
LIVERPOOL, Feb. 2o.-rhe four ships
now filling out ut Deptford, for voyage
totle North Pole, for the discovery of 9
north west passage, are actively prepar-
ing tor their destinations. From The SUI
pcrlor nautical Knowledge tried gailan-
try, and nndaunted resolution of the Off
GERS SO iudiciously selected for this dan
gerous service, the greatest hopes are en-
ieriained Of ultimate success. II appears
from the best Informed Greenland cap
lains, that great quantities of ice have
broken away from The north east coast of
Greenland and one ship made her way
last year TO So degrees. 1t is doubted
II the Northern parts OF Baihn's Bay lave
ever been visited Bafhn gives names 10
several lnlets situated there; but IN his
original manuscript Journal and charts,
now IN the possession of the Lords of the
Admiralty, 10 mention or notice is taken
ct his ever having past the straits. In
fact, all beyond 20 degrees OH the Green
land coast is still unknown. II is sup
posed that The ice breaks away from the
pole during The summer, and is driven by
winds and cArrenis to the south, I'LL it
grounds, and then iermsthc barrier which
captain Philips mention in hi voS age
That II shifts about is certain. The suns
t"Not nuiinS VIZ SOlSIitc, DtllsS
necessarily on the pole, must naturally
create great warmth; indeed, greater
than few degrees 10 the south, where
the atmosphere is cooled during the
night. The conjecture, that the pole is
clear from ice during the Summer is found
ed ON that hypothesis. Sir Joseph Banks
has gwen every assistance i'll Ills power
TO the success of this national undertake
ing.
The Ships for the northern regions are
nearly completed. The bed-places in The
cabins, &c. are so constructed as TO be
removed, and every requisite for the con
struction of barracks will be conveyed
in the ships, should it be necessary for
the officers and crew to remain on those
unacceptable shores. An astronomer also
proceeds with them, with proper mathe-
NAUTICAL instruments, &c. Provisions for
two years consumption, and an unlimited
quantity Of Goals, are also embarked.
