ON LEAVING HOME.

God bless thee! was the last endearing word
The lip could utter, or the heart could feel
But there was ONE from whom only heard
God bless thee! and ii fec TONS kneil
For many lonely day. The very phrase
Was oft repeated by the parting voice
OF youthful friendship; nd the last farewell
OF some who lov'd me in my boyish days,
Was war and fearful. Yet there was ONE,
Whose heart beat quicker than her eyes ran DER;
Whose trembling lips refused to whisper more
Than that warm prayer. twas hallow'd tone!

IN THE VISIT OF LAFAYETTE TO AMERICA.
See, Freedoms champion full of years,
The pride OF the Free-mans story!
Again across the Atlantic steers
To the land of his former glory.
The Old w orld's night he leaves behind,
The of the New is before him
And the Ocean is calm, and the winds are kind,
Aud the heavens shine mildly o'er him.
And see! on the shores Of Freedoms land,
A Nation is tondy straying,
And asking each billow that breaks ON its strand
Why their "Guesi so long is delaying.
He comes he lands.-aud thousand arms
Are stretched at ouce to enfod him;
And liberty clasps him in all her charms,
Rejoicing again to behold him.
Sublime from her throne in the World Of the West,
She extends him the sccptre he gave her,
While millions around her cry "ail!" their Guest,
The Hero who conquered TO save her.
Oh. who would not envy the godlike pride
And triumph his soul is feeling,
While the of those Sres who fought By his sdo
Their gratitude thus are revealing
Those sires sleep in the arms of their Fame,
Where soon he shall hasten TO find them;
But their spirits still hear and approve acclaim
Which he yet is enjoying behind them.
Bht who is he, with looks so white
Who comes. by many surrounded,
lis the "Father" who FIRST in Americas RICH.
The trumpet of Liberty sounded!
With ilial awe the crowd, attend
And weep while his are flowing
While he oiings round the neck of his ancient friend
Aud seems to his bosom growing.
Now, Lafayette! the hour is come,
The proudest that passed o er thee,
When thou shar'st of true glory mighticr sum
Than all who have gone before thee.
And, glowing forever in Fame's bright skv,
Shall the triumph thou a l reapnr
Be the pole-star of hope to the Patriots eye
When thou art with w ashngton Sleeping.
