AMERICAN VERSES.

In the south we have no periodical litera-
~ reviews. Our scholars, with every re-
ou;site Tor able criticism, forbear the task,
and seek not the reputation Of censors.-
(riticism tbriyes in cold and biting air
there is no asperity in our climate, and
therefore presume none in our literature.
Ia default of better discipline, and more
competent tribunals, the original efforts OF
our writers may derive circulation, if not
authority, from the ephemeral columns Of a
newspaper.
Perhaps, indeed, il was to these that
Horace alluded, when be wrote the follow
ing lines:
---sMediocrem posse poetan
Nor Di, non homines, nee concessere coumne.
1t is pleasing duty to draw public at
tention to native productions of merit. A
volume of Gospel Melodies is proposed to
be published in this city. The subscription
lat is at Mr.. Thsyer's, Broad-street.
The following is an extract:
hE MARnlAUE EASl.
"And the third day there was a marriage
IN Cana of Gallilee; and both Jesus was
called, and his disciples to the marriage"
John Cd. '-2.
The lamps are bright on Cana's halls,
And countless mirrors deck her walls;
A Thousand faces beam with joy.
Unmix'd with passions base alloy,
The young have met at beauty's call,
To join the sacred festival;
And age comes there, peaceful guest,
To smile upon the marriage least
Juaea's virgins foremost stands,
Like hills OF snow on fairy land;
Where nought is heard in earth or air,
Save hymns Of saints TO mortal ear,
And Dought attracts the gaZer's eye,
Save the blest orbs that light the sky;
The bedu'eoIs nightly seraph train,
Revolving DER the cloudless plain.
Within each vestment's grac' ful fold,
Cleans the bright cinctur'd clasp OF gold;
And brighter still the diamonds crest,
That dazzling shines on besuty's breast,
And with its tar illumin'd blaze.
Entrances the beholder's gaze
So 10 the rsptur'd prophet seen.s flight
Ofpurest angels, cloth VITA heavenly light.
Music has brsath'd her purest sigh
To grace the thrilling symphony;
And hallOwed harps and hands are there,
Pouring their sweets on beauty's ear:
Fen Cana's chiefs and princes all,
Have mingled 10 the festive hall,
Where virtue, wealth and rank combine
In mingled rays TO warm and shine.
But one comes there to bless the scene,
Pure, spotless, holy. meek, serene,
Whose presence ssncti6es the place.
And lends to earth celestial grace;
Whose looks sjov to those who share
Such sinless mirth, such love sincere;
For virtue, love, and JOY unite,
When Jesus cOnseo rates the rite.
