Ala! how little do we appreciate mothers ten
dcrncss while living How needless arc We in youth
OF all lcr anxetes and kindness But when she is
dead and gone; when the cares and GOODNESS of the
world come whitening to our hearts; when we find
now hard il is to find true sympathy, how few love
for ourselves, how few will beiriend us in our mis-
fortunes then il is that We think Of the mother
have lost. II is true that had always loved my mo-
tier even in my most needless days but felt how
nconsidclate and Intellectual had been my love-
My heart melted as rctraccd the days of infancy,
when was led by mothers hand, and rocked to
sleep in mothers arms and was without care or
aorrow. ''Oh, my mother :" exclaimed |, buryng
my face again in the grass of the grave" Oh! that
were once more by your side; sleeping-never to
wake again on the and troubles Of this world. ;"

Welcome, HERO, to the West,
TO the land thy sword hath blest
TO the country of the Free,
Welcome, Friend Of LiJatgt
Grateful millions guard thy fame,
Age and youth revere thy name,

A REQUEST TO THE DIVINE BEING,
BY LADY.
Thou great and sacred Lord Of ALL
Of life the only spring;
Creator Of unnumber'l worlds,
Immensely glorious king
Whose image shakes the staggering mind,
Beyond conception high
Crown'd with omnipotenc@, and ycipd
With dark eternity.
Drive from the confines of my heart
Impenitence and pride,
Nor let me i'll erroneous paths
With thoughtless idiots glide
Whateer thy all discerning eye
Sees for thy creatures fit
I'll bless the good, and to the i'll
Contcntedly submit
With humane pleasure let me view
The prosperous and the great;
Malignant envy let me fly,
With odious self concet.
Let not despair, nor cursd revenge
BE to my bosom known;
o give me tears for others wo
And patience for my own.
Feed me with necessary food,
ask not wealth nor fame
But give me eyes to view thy works,
And sense to praise thy name.
And when thy wisdom thinks it fit,
To shake my troubled mind,
Preserve my reason with my griefs.
And let me not repine.
May my still day obscurely pass,
Without remorse or care;
And let me, for the parting hour,
My trembling ghost prepare,
PROTRACTED LOVE.
Il love you'-oft the youth did say,

A LUCID INTERVAL.

A LUCID INTERVAL.
Oh ! light is pleasant to the eye,
And health comes rustIng on the gale
Clouds are careering through tic SKY,
Whose shadows mock them down tic dale 4;
Nature as fresh and fragrant seems
AS have met her in my dreams
For have been pris 'ner long
In gloom and loneliness of minl,
Deaf to the melody of song,
To every form of beauty blind
Nor morning dew, nor evening balm.
Might cool my check, my bosom calm
Bat now the blood, the blood returns,
With rapturous pulses through my VEN.
My heart, new born within me, burns,
My limbs break loose, they cast their chains
Rekindled at the sun, my sight
Tracks to a point the eagles flight.
long to climb those old grey rocks,
Glide with yon river to the dcep
Range the green hills with herds and f1ock,,
Free as the roe-buck, run and leap;
Then mount the lark's victorious wing,
And from the depth of ether sing.
o Earth in maiden innocence,
Too early fed thy golden time;
o Earth Earth Earth . for mans offence,
Doom'd to dishonour in thy prime;
OF how much glory then bcrctt
Vet what a world of bliss was left
The thorn, harsh emblem of the curse,
Puts forth a paradise of flowers;
Labour, mans punishment, is nurse
TO Iialcyon joys at sunset hours
Plague, famine, earthquake, want, disease,
Give birth to hottest charities.
And Death himself, with all the woes
That hasten, yet prolong, his stroke
Death brings with every pang rcposc,
With every sigh he solves yoke;
Yea, his cold sweats and moaning strife
Wiring out the bitterness of life.
Life, life, with all its burthens, dear
Friendship IS sweet, Love sWeeter still
Who would forego smile, a tear,
One generous hope, one Christening i'll
Home, kindred, country these arc tics
Might keep an angel from the skies.
But these have angels never known,
UnveN'd felicity their lot;
Their sea Of glass before the throne,
Storm, lightning, shipwreck, visit not
Our tides, beneath the changing moon,
Are soon appcased-are troubled soon.
Well, will bear what all have borne,
Live my few years, and fill my place
Der old and young affections mourn,
Rent one by one from my embrace;
Till suffering ends, and have done
With all delights beneath the sun.
Whence came Memory cannot say:
What am acknowledge will not show
Bound whittier All away away
