For the Wilmingtonian.

There are few men of intellect and feeling, that
are not tinctured in greater or less degree with
romance. They may not, like the Knight of La
Mancha, set off in quest Of men and manners,
such as their fancy pictures, but they can enjoy
delicious day-dream in some quiet corner, with
out the trouble and ennri of searching for adven-
tures.-ln this species of mental recreation, the
Bachelor smiles benevolently as fancy conjures
up the forms ofa lovely wife and duteous chill
dren, their faces turned with love and reverence
towards him as the centre of the happy circle;
he listens breathesslv for her voice, whose life
seems dedicated to his happiness; when 10! the
tantalizing imp dissolves the spell and the Bach
clor is himself again.--At the nod of this miracle
monger the generous enthusiast bcholds himself
possessed of wealth sufficient to realize all his
romantic schemes of benifcencc--his golden tai
isnan unlocks the prisoners cell--comforts the
widow and protects the fatheress-but the illu-
sion fades as the unsentimental jingle Of some
old song such as
Without penny in my purse"
unaccountably wanders across his brain. II is in
reveries sNch as these that original and beautiful
poctica IDEAS display themselves in half-foimcd
verse tempting the dreamer with the promise of
distinction and applause; but the homely goose
quill is indispensable and every brilliant thought
and "high imagining" are dissipated and forgotten
ere the exhuberant productions of fancy can be
pruned and regulated in workmanlike manner;
it is like travelling to Immortality on RAILROAD
instead of the devious and romantic paths of Par
nassus. Rut the Louer, above all, revcls i'll the

Midst the laurels she has won,
Britain weers for many son.
yeil'd in clouds the morning rose;
Nature seem'd to mourn the day

Thousands to their kindred clay.
How unfit for courtly ball,

Sec the Highland warrior rushing
First in dangerAon the foe;
Till the life-blood, warmly gushing,
Lays the plaided hero low.

Mid wars internal concert dfown'd
Cannot soothe his last adeu,
Or rwake his sleep on Waterloo.
Crashing o'cr the CuirdsSieT,
See tie foaming charger flying;
Tramplng in his wild career,
All alike-thc dead and dying.

Other waltz the warriors knew,

Forbear till time with lcnient hand,
Has healed the pang of recent sorrow;
And let the picture distant stand,
The softening hue Of years to borrow
When our race has passed away,
Hands unborn may wake the lay;
And give to joy alone the view

they are able to fight again; if victorious, they
pursue their advantage, and say little or nothing
about it.'
