MISCELLANY.

I4E SPY
Or, a Tale ofthe Neutral Ground

VI, A6te 81 she SNeutf6t GT01lld.
A third edition of this fascinating A.
merican novel is now in the press; and
the two former editions are said to have
yielded the author the handsome sum of
tao thousand dollars. 1t will probably
pass through several editions more,
though British reviewers may ask,
"gcho reads an american book?n
Led on by the mighty Glamour that was
made about "the Pirate" (the work Of
"the Great Unknown though general
ly believed to be Sir Walter Scott,l
when it FIRST appeared in the United
States, | snatched enough time to read
that romance-and, having done so, a
spirit of national pride induced me TO 90
over"the Spy" | make no pretensions
TO the character Of critick, and only
know what pIeases and interests myself;
and, according to this scale, "the Spy''
Is as much the superior of" the Pirate,''
as the flow of genius excels the dull
drudg ary of book-mahing though the
latter contains many chapters worthy of
the highest admiration of those who es-
TEEN books of this class.
The author of" the Spy' is said to be
engaged in writing new work to be cali
ed" the Pioneers of the Susquehannah.
The opportunity is happily fitted TO as
certain whether the British are willing
to return our courtesy, as TO such matter
as makes mp about a third part of the
VOLUMES Of" the Great Z nknown''-shat
is, barbarous words, difficult to read and
understand, and worth nothing, except
to swell the size Of the book, when read
and understood We would respectfully
suggest that in his new work our author
should introduce dozen or two No
hu7Uks, and suffer them to iabber freely
IN their own tongue, or half English and
half Indian, if he pleases. The more
uncouth and uninteIligibIe the iargon is.
the better the closer will be the COPY
of " the Great Unknown.'' The roasting
of a prisoner now and then might also be
well, to bold up the manners of the
times to admiration; and warrior dri-
wing his tomabawk into the skull of his
enemy, would furnish as pretty plot as
many of those so elegantly set forth in
the "Scotch novels -
"The Spy'' has been dramatised and
performed With complete success al
many Of our principal theatres.

THE Land OF THE BLEST.

\ n u fSs1stD Or liz DL1CO1~
THE sunset is calm on the face of the deep,
And bright is the last look of day 10 the west,
And broadly the beams of its parting glance
sweep,
Like the path that conducts TO the land Of
the blest:
All golden and green is the sea, as II flows
IN pillows just hearing its tide to the shore;
And crimson and blue is the sky, as it flows
With the colours, which tell US that daylight
iso'er.
l sit on a rock, that hangs over the wave,
And the foam heaves and tosses its snow
wreaths below;
And the fakes, gilt with sun-beams, the fow-
ing tide pave,
Like the gems that in gardens ofsorcery grow !:
SIT ON rock, and watch the light fade
Still fainter and fainter away in the west,
And dream | can catch, through the mantle
of shade.
A glimpse OF the dina distant land of the
blest.
And Hong for home IN the land of The soul,
Where hearts always warm, glow with
friendship and love,
And days ever cloudEess still chcerily roll,
Like the age of eternity blazing above:
There, with friendships unbroken, and loves
ever true,
Life flows on, one gay dream Of pleasure
and rest;
And green is the fresh turf, the sky purely
blue,
That mantle and arch DER the land Of the
blest.
The last line of light is now crossing the sea.
And the first star is lighting its lamp in the
sky
1t seems that sweet voice is calling to me,
Like abird on that pathway ofbrightncss to
fly:
!" Far over the wave is green sunny isle,
Where the last cloud OF evening now shines
in the west;
'Iis the island that spring ever woos with her
smile;
o. seek 1.-THE bright happy land of the
blest.o
