-@%@@

AWAY from me, oh restless Sleep!
No happy dream breaks thy sad reign;
Ills mine tolwake,-to wake and weep.
Ere sunrise cheers the village train.
Springing to light, with sweetest song
The young bird ninstrels to the grove;
With food its mother skins along r.
sob to see maternal love.
All, why no Mothers love for me
Why like that nesting am not |,
Bending the slight twig of the tree
As, watch'd, it balances on high p
But am desclate, alone
Meier Graded was my infant head;
Its first bed was hard cold stone,
Where sleep the happier village Dead.
Me never did parent bless;
Me never did parent name
Me parent never did cares
The fruit, alas, of guilt and shame.
The children of the valley play
Not one calls me sister dear:
hasten from their sports away,
To hide the bitter gushing tear.
The peasant careless sits at eve,
His darlings clustering round his knee.
And all is joy-why do grieve.
There is no place, no kiss for me.
The Parish bread, the Workhouse home,
There only not stranger poor,
As through the weary world roam,
Is refuge and the unshut door.
Oft to the church-yard gloom steal,
Upon the conscious stone to gaze
Where first twas mine. Oh Life, to feel
The miserles of thy endless maze.
Prone on its flint, my eye-balls strain
Affections parting tears to trace,
Perhaps my mother shed. In vain.
My foods the record would efface.
Then, wandering Ger the mound-heap'd sod,
ask the tonibs il, done with strife,
One friend rests theres For me, oh Godl
Alike are blank, the tonbs and life.
Again throw me on the stone.
Since fourteen springs where drew breath
Come, Mother, haste to claim thy own:
wait for thee-for Thee or Death.

"INFANCY AND MATURITY

"'Twas eight O'Clock, and near the fire
My ruddy little boy was seated;
And with the titles of sire,
My ears expected to be greeted.
But warn the thought by sleep oppressed,
NO father there the child deserted
Ills head recned upon his breast,
Or, nodding, rolled from side 10 side.
- Let this young rogue be sent to bed
More had not had time to say:
When the poor urchin raised his head,
10 beg that he might longer stay.
Reiused,-owards rest his steps he bent,
With fearful eye and aching heart;
But claimed his playthings ere he went,
And took up stairs his horse and cart.
" For new delay, though oft denied,
He pleaded - wildly craved the boon
Though passed the usual time, he cried
AT being sent to bed so soon.
II stern 10 him, his grief shared
(Nho hears, unmov'd his offspring weep %
Oh soothing him half despaired,
When all his cares were lost in sleep.
"'Alas poor infant exclaimed,
Thy father bushes now TO scan,
In those complaints he lately blamed,
The follles and the fears IF man.
The vain regret, the anguish brief,
Which thou hast known, sent up TO teds
Portray, OF man, the idle grief,
When doom'd 10 sumber with The dead
6 And more | thought,-while NJ the stairss
With longing, lingering looks G crept;
To mark, Of man, the childish cares,
His playthings carefully he kept.
Thus mortals on Lile's later stage,
When Nature claims their forfeit breaths
Still sigh for wealth, in pain and age,
And cling to golden toys IN death.
"'Ts morn and see my smiling bcys
Awakes 10 hail returning light;
To reckless laughter-boundess Joy
Forgot the tears Of yesternight.
Thus, shall not man forget his wo?
Survive of age and death the gloom7-=
Smile at the cares depored below?
And, renovated, burst the tonibF
90 my Creator! when thy will,
Shall stretch this form on earth's cold bed,
Let that blest hope sustain me still,
Till memry-sense,-lIe all are fed,
And, grateful for what thou mayest give,
No tear shall dim my fading eye,
That twas thy pleasure should live,
That 'tis thy mandate bids me die.''

HONOR TO OUR COUNTRY, AND ITS
CHIEF MAGISTRATE.

The following article from " 1he CONSTITUTIONAL
one of the French journals has something more to
recommend it to the American people besides the
strength and richness of its style. 1t conveys tous
the views which are entertained Of Institutions,
by the enlightened of that kingdom;-and Of the
dignity which attaches, in the eyes OF these first
friends of our independence, to our beloved Presi
dent, and Of the high estimate which has been taken
of the ability with which his late address to Con-
gress was written.
We may gather from this single article, of whas
importance TO the cause of man, is an address OF an
american President, when it carries upon its face
the impress OF freedom and the rights OF man.
Lifted from the American Capitol and borne TO the
four corners Of the world by the Press, men every
where hail it as the star OF Hope, and follow with
anxious and longing eyes, greeting as 1t ap roach-
les, and mourning ii it pass over without irrada-
lung the darkness of desposm, and lmparting to its
subjects life and liberty.
But what severe reflection do the sentiments OF
this extract cast upon some OF our own citizens.
This is the Speech so applauded by foreigners
which had nothing in it to interest some of 0acn
the Maker Of it is the citizen who is
thus hailed as the friend of man, ahroad--against
whom, at home, party had risen TO send "anani-
moaSly" from the Presidency! II is grateful to
ect that the virtue and intelligence Of The peoples
seconded by the Press, have stlled this Radical
GLAMOUR and covered its leaders with confusion ard
disgrace. Washington Republican.
FROM THE coNsTlTUT1oNEL.
PARIS, Jan. l0.--The Speech OF the President
of the United States, on opening the new session
Iof Congress, is even more interesting than the
speeches pronounced on that solemn occasion all
ways are. Immoveable a rock which braves The
waves that sto, around it, the government q the
United States views from its safe position the tenn
pests by which the whole of South America, and a
part Of Europe desolated, and the threatening
lclouds which are, even now, accommodating overtho
remainder of our continent.
