Know We the land where the red men late roamed
Thro' primeval woods after beasts of the chase
Where nature her prodiga bounes bestowed
For the use of favorite racer
Ills the land of my Fathers, the home of the free,
The last lone asylum of sweet Liberty.
Know we the land that intolerance planted
With selfbanshed people for conscence's cause;
Who grew and increased, and to millions expanded,
Independent and ruled by the laws'
Els my own nativeand, happy land of the free,
The last hope of all men who love Liberty.
Know We the land wherein Washington Hourished,
And man is regarded the fellow Of man,
Where nothing is known of the privileged classes,
And what's noble by honor we scan?
IT'S the land of my children the land of the free,
The last lone asylum of sweet Liberty.
Know We the land where the Eagle undaunted,
Meier shrinks from the sun in the pride of his fight
Where freemen possess the kind soil they tling,
Blest region of thought and oflght'
IT'S the world of Columbus the home of the free,
The last hope Of all men who love Liberty.

From The Boston SPECTATOR
THOU glorious spirit of life and love-
There is not leaf or flower,
That spreads to the sun, when meadow and grove
Awake with the April shower;
There is not creature, that walks the earth,
And is glad in its liberty,
But feels and knows from its earliest birth,
How his being is full of thee.
The waters that fail from the mountains brow.
Or in verdurous valleys flow;
The waves, that round the gallant prov
In the moonlight flash and glow;
The sea, as it heavcs from the line to the pole,
In calm or in tempest-free,
Feels deep in its heart the enlivening SOUL
The ocean is full of thee.
The clouds that hang in the evening sky,
And burn with the setting sun;
The glorious beings who meet on high,
When the light Of day is done;
The brightness that fills the boundless blue,
When the shades of twilight flee
o, the quckenng air with its rain and dew
The air is full of thee.

FOR THE WATcHMAN

love, at evenings pensve hour,
To view the setting orb of day,
1t has soft and magic power
Which none but feeling souls obey.
1 love TO pause me, and behold
The varied tnts at close of even
And view the streams of living gold
That tighten up the vault Of heaven.
And then, to watch the shades of night
Steal gently on the close of day,
Till Cynthia, with her silver light,
Dispels the dark'ning gloom away.
There is a soft and mystic spell
Connected with scene like this,
In which my soul delights to dwell,
Enwraptin sweet and pensive bliss.
love, at "evening's holy calm,'
AS mem'ry claims a free control,
To seek in early years balm
To ease my sad afflicted soul.
l love to trace those happy years
And wake up every Joy again,
Till sad reflection blights in tears,
The lovely vision into pain.
Thou setting Sun, those rays ofthine
That family linger in the west,
Are emblems sad, OF hopes once mine,
That grew and blossom'd in my breast.
And when thy course is at an end,
And thou art meath the western wave,
1t calls to mind dear lost friend
That now lies mould'ring in the grave.
Yes, dearest friend, since thou art fled,
This world is joyless, sad, to me-
live in converse with the dead,
And oft my LAURA dwell with thee.

Emitting forth lucid ray,
To pause and think, how soon may
Re minpled with tIly mould ring CLAW.

With hearts responding tone to tone,
Ofmutual sympathy and love.
love to trace each little rill
That was favorite haunt of thine,
And dwell with thee in fancy still
1t suits gloomy heart like mine.
Yes, oft tread each well known round
of thine, departed Laura dear,
And listen to the Hudson's sound,
That trembling echoes on my ear.
And have sought thy lonely bower,
Secluded OH the moated Isle;
And here, l'vc cull'd dying flower
That lourisli'd once beneath thy smile.
o stay, sweet rose--O stay with me,
And will wear thee at my breast,
And never, never, part with thee,
Till with my Laura laid at rest.
Vain is my wish; no earthly power
Can check thy dying form--or save
Thy feeble tints so then, sweet flower,
Go die upon my Laura's grave.
Bear to her sacred earth, this tear;
1t springs from deep Affections smart,
And is pledge of grief sincere
That's nourish'd in her Edwin's heart
And oft at twilight's holy calm,
When thou, as nothing then shalt be,
I'll drink of memory's pensive balm,
And weep for Laura and for thee. EDW

GREAT INVENTION.-Mr Jos. BELL is
building in this town, Boat which he intends to
propel by LEVER power. 1t is now nearly COM
pleed, and he expects to put in operation 10 the
course Of the ensuing week. The machinery is very
simple, and the manual force required to work il.
will not exceed that Of four persons. MIR. Bell is
perfectly confident that this attempt OF his to apply
the lever power to boats with great advantage, viii
be successful, and that he can propel them with
much greater rapidity than is done by steam. No
person has ever yet succeeded in making this app-
cation, although there can be no doubt OF the cor
rectness of the principle. Should MIR. Bell effect
his object it will be Of the geeatest achievements
Of the present age, and will entirely explode the
use of steam boats as the labor and expense TO put
boats ON his plan into operation infinitely less.
and the advantage derived from the power and
Ihghlness of the machinery, much greater. Mr-
Bell is plain, unlearned, but by no means visionary
man, and those persons who have examined ms
machinery and are capable Of Judging, think highly
oeit. Intetligencer.-
