POETRY.
From the Northern WAig.

NIGHT.
tits the hour which calls to mind
The hopes--the joys that once we're ours,
When life was buoyant--fresh, and kind,
And fortune deck'd her brow with flowers.
'Tis then the wanderers fancy royes
Unbridled in its rapid fight
To the far distant home he loves,
Spot of his youths heartfelt delight;
And wishes--and yet breads to know
If all is still unclouded there
Nor startled by the voice of wo-
Nor the low meanings of despair.
The father-gusrdian of his youth,
His firmest friend beneath The sum
Who taught him that the way of truth
And lasting happiness are one
The mother--on whose tender breast,
In infancy's food hour he hung
Who watched above his Graded rest,
And ever as she watched, she sung.
And she--in whose attentive ear
He whispered all his boyhood's schemes
The sister of his heart--more dear
Than fancy's gayest, fairest Dreams
Oh! are they still in happiness
Is not their hearth-6re faint and dim
Are they unwakened to distress,
And do they often think of him.
Hath time bent down that fathers form,
And blanched bis head with silver gray
Or is his heart no longer warm,
But Wondering in the house of clay
That mother--and that sister bland
From bis embrace are far away
He withers in foreign land,
And those loved beiags--where are they
Calm night thine is the pensive dream
That hovers lightly DER the brain,
When former hopes and blessings seem
To blossom in the world again.
Affections clasp-the kiss of truth
The loye-wreath in its morning bloom
The glow of fond, undoubting youth
Ere conscious of its bitter doom;
An the past scenes of faded years
In quick array come sweeping on,
The wishes yain--the smiles--the tears
So sweetly shed-so quickly gone.
Then pass along in sad review
The forms that long ago we're seen,
Before the death-cloud darkly few
Before life lost her smiling mein.
They come--they come--a mournfui crowd
Whose home is in the lonely grave
Whom time hath covered with his shreud,
And swept in dark obIivion's grave;
Stern Timei that blights the fiowery scene
Of mans newborn, delightful spring
Nor leaves trace of what hath been,
To cheer the night of Borrowing,
Ger all that nature can impart
To charm-inspire--or sooth the breast
Ger each emotion of the heart
Which he hath eoldly hushed to rest.

Surely the Declaration OF American indie

which calls for limitations Of the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reiuc-
