The following extract from :" Yamoqaea, a
Tale of the Wars Of Kiss Philip" the joint
production Of The anonymous editor and the
Rev. James w. EasiJurh Of New York, will,
we think, recommend the whale work I'd The
American public. The poem ~ IN six cantos,

ten by Americans, upon al American subject,
and furthermore as ii contains much fnc
poetry. The following is the inroduciioD 10
the second Cano.
Hail sober evening thee the harrassed brain
And aching heart vii fond prisons greet:
The respite thou Of TOT! the balm Of pain
TO thoughtful mind the hour for mnsing meet:
lis then the sage, from forth his lone retreat,
The rolling universe around espes
IT'S then The bard may hold communion su eet
With lovely shapes, unkenned by grosser eyes,
And quick perception come. Of finer mysteries.
The silent hour Of bliss when ia the west
Her ardent cresset lights the star Of love -.
The spiritual hour when creatures blest
Unseen return Ger former hannts to rove;
While slee D bis shadowy mantle spreads above.
Sleep, brother of forgetfuness and death,
Round well known couch, with noiseless tread
they rove,
In tones Of heavenly music comfort breathe,
And tell what veal or bale shall chance the
beneath.
Hour of devotion like distant sea,
The worlds loud voices family murmuring die;
Responsive to the sPheral harmony,
While grateful hymns are borne from earth on
high.
q! who can gaze on yon unsullied sky,
And not grow wiser from the heavanward vie w.
As those, the Virgin Mothers meek, full eye,
who met, if uninspired lore be true,
Felt a new birth within, and sin as longer knew.
Let others hail the oraamme Of morn,
Ger kindling hills unfurled with gorgeous dies
O mild, blue evening-still to thee | turn,
With holier thought, and with undazzed eyes,
Where wealth and power with glare and splcn-
dour rise,
Let fools and slaves disgustful incense burn.
Still Memory's moonlight ustre let me prize;
