FOR THE SPECTATOR.

mLlNOIS-A POEM.
Where shall we find place, the TRAVELLERS say,
Where we our wives and children NAV convey,
Where we may gain for them the stores of
wealth,
and all enjoy the blooming rose of health-
20 With wise and wholesome laws, and temp rate
cline,
With fruitful soil, and fellowship divine,
With schools of learning where the arts are
taught,
And the young mind with noblest science
fraught-
With sacred temples where our tender youth
Ipay hear the gospel of eternal truth,
And measure their short span of mortal life
Ere from the fellowship of noise and strife
where freedom lives and every virtue reigns,
And vice lies bound in adamantine chains.
This fine description all research defies,
Ahere IS not such place beneath the Skies
tSnce Eden lost the smiles of the Supreme,
Throughout the earth disorders NAV be seen
Net wisdom saith to all beneath the sun,
owen where you may, the greatest evils shun ;
Two Kinds OF evils in the world are found,
ahe natural and moral both abound:
Ihe greatest nat'ral evil that can he.
y less than the least moral that we see:
NO branch OF nat'ral evil, nor the whole,
Gan injure or defle the human soul:
put slaveryis an evil of the moral kind,
And other evils follow close behind
a hedlous train, all threatening to DESTROY
All peace Of conscience and all heart. felt INV
Vow weigh the whole, attend to reasons voice.
And Illinois will be the land of choice.
Mere freedom lives and virtue is not dead.
The chain and lash the negro does not dread
Nhe people here are saved from all those nains
produced by slav'ry in its rating chains;
and as tor this worlds good, no man that lives
should ask for more than what kind nature
gives.
sShe soil is good, no man need toll in vain.
0he harvest pays him well for all his pain.
Is beauties all combine to charm the eve.
sAnd all mans artificial works defy.
Nhe fruitful earth drinks in the vernal rains.
sAnd clothes with flowers her extended Mains
1he variegated landscape sweetly smiles,
And the admiring TRAVELLERS heart beguiles.
oxuberant nature reigns in all the land.
sAnd kindly opes to all her bounteous hand.
1he hiles here are clothed, the sparrows fed
he children never cry in vain for bread;
20 highly favord, and so well SUSTAINED.
VINO would not praise our Maker, who has
deign'd
ans rich provision for the humble poor
What Pious heart could ever wish for more!

POETRY.

From the UOodstOck ". Observer, March 6.
HnE FOLLOWING WAS WRITTEN BY Mrs. n. LARD,
on HER PASSAGE DOWN THE OHIO RIVER.
Roll on, noble riyer-;o me thou art dreary;
Ipass down thy current all lonely and weary
droop like willow that bends from thv shore /;
While think of the friends that must meet me
no more.
.Aowmournfulthy murmurngs soundinmy ears,
While.I pour on thy waves the sad tribute of
tears.
I look on thy stream as it gently descends,
And sigh when l think of my home and my
friends.
,1iov'd my own friends that left in the east,
Their like shall never behold in the west;
1lov'd my own mountains and forests so green,
Where virtue and friendship endear'd every
scene.
How cold are thy waters that bear me away
When Luna's pale beams on thy soft bosom
play;
But colder the bosom, friends once BELOVED !!
.From you aud FROM home now forever remov'd.
But when nights chill dews thy dark borders
shall lave,
and the bright star of evening look pale on thy
wave,
One solace this exile still finds on thy stream,
This life with its SORROWS and joys is dream,
How swiftly it passes away like a stream!
Qwhen shall Inject the dearfriends that love,
Where all is substantial in regions above!
lShould the author of the above lines have
settled in this part of the western country, the
Aditor OF the Spectator would be happy to be
Informed of the place of her residence.]

this manner until they approached eacFs
otheF within a very short distance
The father had hid himself behind a
log, placing brush upon his back to dis
guise himself, SO that when the WOLF
as ne supposed, came near enough TO
shoot, 1t would not be frightened away.
Havlng raised himself little for that
purpose the son observing the molten.
bred, taking the object fred al 10 be y

[CosrMuSIcAr1ov.l

The Religious Charitable Society In
the County Of Worcester held lis tenth
anniversary at Holden, on the 10Th of
September last, TO transact its usual bus.
mess for the ensuing year. The meet
ing was hume rous and well attended,
Every member appeared TO take
deep interest in the events of the occa-
sion, and in the important objects the
Society is ardently pursuing. 1t must
have been gratifying TO every friend of
Zion, to have seen SO many of her sons
uniting their counsels and charities, to
enlarge her boundaries and advance her
prosperity. The great objects of this
Society, il is well known, are TO aid in
digent young men Of piety and talents,
10 the acquisition of a suitable education,
with view to the Christian ministry
Ito afford pecuniary aid to the Ameri-
can Board of Commissioners for Foreign
HIissions--and to assist feeble Churches
and Societiesin maintaining among them
the preaching and institutions Of the
gospel. Each Of these important OBJ
jects has received proportionate atten-
ton. The amount Of good already eff
fected by this Society is incalculable.--
Its plans Of benevolence are extensive,
embracing a variety Of objects, suited to
meet the generous feelings of the Chris
ton community, and to promote the
cause of truth and holiness in the world !;
and should il continue 10 receive the lib
eral aid of generous publick, it may
justly claim a distinguished rank among
those charitable institutions which are
the glory of these latter days, and the
harbingers Of the renovation Of world
now lying in wickedness.
