PATRIOTIC SPANISH ODE.

CFrom BiackSoOds Edinburgh yhayazine.)
To the wind, to the wind, your banners rear
Awake nor lie in sloth reclining
Arise--nor shrink in craven fear
Lo! Frances thousand blades are shining
She comes-but not as friend she comes
Death-ruin-rapi in her train
To arms rouse up your warning drums
lilo to the combat, Spain!
Our sires were great in ancient days,
No lofller power on earth allowing;
Shall we their mighty deeds erase,
And to the dust our necks be bowingl
They srove for fame-for Liberty
On fields where blood was spl' like rain
Hark how they call Us from the sky
Ho Ito the combat Spain!
CASTLE and Arragon, arise
The tempest cloud Of war is brewing
Burst through the shades that veil your eyes
Are ye asleep while this IS doing
Lo armies crowd the Pyrenees:
They carry with them ihrlldoms chain
Will We ignoby crouch to thcsel
Iio!-to the combat, Spain!
Look forth on every well-known spot
On field and forest rock and river;
Then draw the sword, but sheath it not,
Till theseSrom foreign feet ye seveI-
The tralnpling feet Of foreign hosts,
Who march in power, and proud disdain;
Haste-homeward send their shreking ghosts
Ho Ito the combat, Spain!
And arc we, then, so lost--so low
That strangers can alone restore lis +?
Lo! Earth regards our every blow
The eye Of Heaven is watching DER us -
BY Spanish might, the Spanish land
Its freedom only can retain,
And crouch we TO the oppressor's hands =

Hyson Tea The TACT has been demonstrated,
that the genuine Hyson Tea may be successfully
cultivated in this state. The experiment has been
tried, and the result has been the most satisfactory.
A Lady, the wife of MIR. John Newland, of Chatham
County, found seed much resembling that of
Buck-wheat, in the bottom of box of Tea, which
her husband had purchased in this town. She PLAN
ted the seed in her garden and the produce was
plentiful crop She gave some Of the seed to Mrs.
Harrington, the Lady of MIR. John Harrington, of
Chatham County, who also planted the seed and
the writer of this article obtained his information
from Mrs. Harrington, and also obtained from her
some OF the Tea and seed. He planted the seed in
his garden in this town, where it can be seen by
those who curious to witness the products ofthe
East-lndies transferred 10 this western hemisphere.
The writer of this article has distributed, of the
small portion of the seed obtained by him to many
of his friends 10 this town and its vicinity.
A Treatise on the mode of curing this valuable
plant is quite desirable.

Stranger in thy pride of soul,
Canst thou strive with Natures doom
Or the stream of Time control,
Onward sweeping to the tomb
Do the dreams of heightened years,
On thy sinking spirit die,
Mocking all thy hopes and fears,
Child of fral mortality!
Pause thou, then, and mark the ground
Sacred to despots sway!
Infant age and thought profound,
Here must equal tribute pay.
Dost thou, on life's slippery stage,
Seek the joys that Earth can give!
Come and scan Death's ample page;
Learn for other wealth to live.
What is life "a passing shade
What is pleasure, but sigh?
Earthly schemes in vapor fade,
"LesS than dust and vanity"
There's day that knows no end,
There's land where troubles cease;
Feuds and strfes and dscords blend
All to harmony and peace.
Wouli'st thou gain that realm of light!
Arm thee for the victor's field;
Nobly wage the Christian fight.
Faith alone thy sword and shield!
Go, and win the heavenly prize
''ris Parents voice on high,
Bids celestial pleasures rise,
Boundless as eternity
