BY FRIEND, READING THE PROSPECTUS FOR
"THE GARLAND"
IF its objects rightly can estimate now,
For the heart it is solely designed;
Not the transient adornment of vanity's brow,
But lasting solace to the mind:
May its blossoms bloom gaiy, through sunshine and
showers,
stillretaining their verdure and grace
The cheering companions of LIES feeting hours,
Yielding joys which no ills can efface
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1824-02-14

FROM THE CONNECTICUT MIRROR
THE PIONEERS.
We had just finished "The Pioneers" and were
about mastering up some phrase of compliment,
that should express our admiration of the book,
and the feelings with which we closed the second
volume, when chap, who occasionally furnishes
us with verses handed in the following for inser-
ton. alt referred, he said, "to the good
wishes which Elizabeth manifested, in the last
chapter, for the welfare of "Leather Stocking"
when he sgnifed, at the grave of the Indian, his
determination to quit the settlements Of men for
the unexplored forests of the west and when,
whistling for his dogs, with his rife on his shout
der, and his pack on his back he left the village
of Templeton."
Far away from the hillside, the lake and the hamlet,
The rock and the brook, and yon meadow 50 gay,
From the foot-path that winds by the side of the
streamlet,
From his hut and the grave his friend, far away;
He has gone where the footsteps of man never VEN
tur'd,
Where the gloom of the wild-tangIed forest is CEN
ter'd,
Where beam of the sun or the sweet moon has
enter'd,
No bloodhound has rous'd up the deer with his
bay.
He has left the green valley, for paths where the
bison
Roams thro the praires and leaps DER the food;
Where the snake in the swamp sucks its deadliest
poison,
And the cat of the mountain keeps watch for its
food
But the leaf shall be greener. the sky shall be purer
The eye shall be clearer, the rife be surer
And stronger the arm of the fearless endurer,
Who trusts naught but heaven in his way thro'
the wood.
Light be the heart of the poor lonely wanderer.
Firm be his step through each wearisome mile,
Far from the cruel man, far from the plunderer
Far from the track of the mean and the vile,
And when death with the last of its terrors assails
him,
And all but the last throb of memory fails him,
He'll think Of the friend far away that be walls him.
And light up the cold touch of death with smile.
And there shall the dew shed its and ustre
There for his pail shall the oak leaves be spread;
The sweetbrier shall bloom, and the wild grape
shall cluster,
And DER him the leaves of the ivy be shed.
There shall they mx with the fern and the heather
There shall the young eagle shed its first feather,
The wolves with his wild-dogs shall lie down to-
gether,
And mourn DER the spot where the hunter is laid
Beauties in vain their charming eyes may roll,
Charms strike the sight. hut merit wins the sorI
