POETRY.

From tie Albany Microscope.
In days long past there liv'd maid,
Modest she was, and fair;
Her motives pure in all she said,
And auburn was her hair.
Thirty long winters grac'd her face
Nith wrinkles half score;
She ran goodly Christian race,
And curls she never wore.
Her soul was meek, her conscience clear,
Her eyes heavenly blue;
Her hose had eye lets in the rear,
And guile she never knew.
.nIsr form in natures faisest mould
Vas cast, and some folks say
Aer pockets were we'll lind with gold.
To haste her bridal day.
sweet was her temper small her pride
Streak d petticoats she wore;
Glib was her tongue; If not belied,
She, when she slept. would snors!
Ofcharity her heart was form'd-
Her apron made oftow;-
She ope'd her door whene'er it storm'd-
Her name was

The present number of Inhabitants
in the empire of Russia is estimated
at As millions; 40 millions ut whom
are found in the European divisions
where civilization prevails; and only
5 or s millions dispersed over the
immense extent of Northern Asia
lfthese S or 6 millions are put out "f
the question, and a comparison is in
stituted between Russia and Austrl",
the latter country will be found less
civilized.
Slavery still exists in Russia as
we'll as in Hungary. Gaiic'a. Cr'a-
tia. and many other Austrian pro-
vinces. But the progress of man
ners, and the instruction generally
extended among the lords, will 8"
far to meliorate servitude. It'll the
permission of their master. the slaves
may acquire, possess. aud transmit
both personal and real property
Communities reduced to servitude,
treat with their lord for their liberty
either in person or labor, and when
this is once obtained, the people re-
main free to exercise their own in
dustry for themselves. Industry will
produce in Russia what it has pro-
duced in other countries of modern
Europe: it will give to those who
still lie under the yoke of servituds,
the desire and the means of purchas
ing their independence. Thus by
degrees the Russians will acquire
the inestimable blessing of individual
I liberty. Already. in some of the
northern ro.inces. the lords have
freed their serfs, m condition of a
consideration solemnly established.

arovement in the state, and il is the
Foundation of one of his highest
