IN MEMORY'S land springs never flower,
Nor the lowliest daisy blooms,
Meier robin chirps from its russell bower,
But to call from their silent tombs
The thots and the things which times pitiless sway
Has long since swept from the world away.
In Nlemory's land waves never a leaf,
There never summer breeze blows,
But some smothered thought Of Joy or grief,
Starts up from it long repose
And forms are living and visible there
Which vanished long since from our earthly sphere
would not escape from Memorys land,
For all that the eye can view
Forthere's dearer dust in Memory's hand
Than the ore Of rich PERU

STRANGER in thy pride of soul,
Can'st 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 frail mortality
Pause thee, then, and mark the ground,
Sacred to despots sway
Infant age, and thought profound,
Here must equal tribute pay.
Dost thou, on lfe'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 a day that knows no end,
There's land where troubles cease
Feuds and strifes and discords blend
All to harmony and peace.
Would'st thou gain that realm of light
Arm thee for the vctors field;
Nobly wage the Christian fight,
Faith alone thy sword and shield
Go, and win the heavenly prize -

Bids celestial pleasures rise,

When La FAYErTE visited Mrs Willard's Female
Seminary at Troy, the 18th of September, the
following lines, (writtcn by Mrs. Willard accom-
panied with music, were sung by the scholars
And art thou then, dear hero, come
And do eyes behold the man,
Who nerv'd his arm and bard his breast
For US, ere yet our life began
For us and for our native land
Thy youthful vaor dal'd the war;
And now, in winter of thine age,
Thou'st come and left thy loy'd ones far.
CHORUS.
Then deep and dear thy welcome be
Nor think thy daughters far from thee
Columbia's daughters, 10 WE bend,
And claim to call thee FATHER, FuIESD.
But vast our country's rights alone
ImpelPd Fayette to Freedoms van
No twas the love of human kind
1t was the sacred cause of man.
1t was benevolence sublime,
Like that which sways the eternal mind
And, benefactor OF the world,
He shed his blood for all mankind
Then deep and dear thy welcome be;
Nor think tn daughters far from thee:
Daughters o, human kind, WE bend,
And claim to call thee FATHER FRIEND!
The reference in the chorus (says the Troy Sen
tineI to his own daughters, left behind him in
distant country, and the aectonate urging of their
own claim to call him father friend" were deeply
pathetic and as the maiden pupils, in the flower of
their youth and the ardent sincerity of their sex,
bent together in confirmation of their VOW of filial
reverence, tears filed their eyes as we'll as his and
bore witness to the power of the scene.
A copy of the lines, beautifully printed and Dor
dered, was presented to the General, and he request
cdscveral copies them to send home to his daugh
tcrs.

The cold winds swept the mountain height,

And mid the cherries hours of night,

As through the distant snow she press'd,
The babe was sleeping on her breast
And colder still the winds did blow, e
And darker hours Of night came on,
And deeper grew the drifting snow
Her limbs were child, her strength was gone.

ROus8euu's three things needfuA-J. j. Rousseau
always regarded genteness as the first quality in
woman. Whenever he heard any one boastingly
detail the qualifications, talents, and charms of
young females, ne used to place a few cyphers one
after the other and then conclude by asking <s she

then placed before the number fcyphers, accord

Sometimes he would ask, has she the three things

on which he set SO great value; they were, a
