ODE TO IMAGINATION.

Say, who ant thou, whose vivid eye,
Dating the vault of heav'n along,
Prociams thee daughter Of the sly,
Parent OF Poesy and Of song
" thec the ancient poets told,
That grac'd the happier age OF gold,
Ere art he'd strung the impractical iyre,-
Ere tue soft voce OF music stole
In melting sweetuts, on the SOUL
And woke celestial FIRE.
But still to us thou art unknown,
Spite of the poets wel-sunS lay;
Who can ascend thu fairy throne
Or trace thy devious. hermit way
A sylvan NY mph thou of Lost
The dark-iroly'1 wood the twiligh grove,
Or, mu.ing, meath some aged tower
Thou do't behold, IN pause divine,
The heavenly cOnstella shine,
And mark eternal power.
Visions OF high, ethereal bliss,
And maddips Inspirations glcw,
Scenes of romantic happiness,
That never lnGer'd heie below
Aud that pure ecstacy that finds
No kindred thrill IN earth-hcrn minds,
Attend thee TO the poets hover,
Where on his couch Of rushes laid,
lie Oft inyokes thy secret aid,
And owns thy genial power.
\ Pensise lover thou art seen
Lone, lingering through some desert shade,
uumindh'l of the ,nil ng green,
And all the magic of the mead.
Nature Tor thee no more hath charms,
CGnsignl 10 passions dread alarms,
The Uh'PrIng of unwi.e desire
The h1nlie glance, the absent thought,
The Si,tiul LOOK from passion caught,
Betray thy hidden iie.
Eseap'd from Love, tyraunic sway,
With eagle glance view the rise,
Explore the empire oEthe lal,
Aud claim thy own, thy natal skies.
Wi.h arden, flight thou dost inlrude
On old Creation, olitudr,
Where space extends her houndless line
Nlerp ulh uiv Ia f., ltsht
Aud other stars lumc the night,
And other planets slime.
on do't thou stray where oceans roar.
Aud all the horiors of the main
Tempes,uous lulmined round the shore
Where ffsithe Trojan chief felt pain.
ne ;TI... ~ lUOss than his who braves
The savage sltife uf winds and waves,
While heayea is rapt awful gloom,
Save where the rapid Lightning beam
D5rtins IT. fearful, sudden gleam
The scene Ut death Hume.

The aspiring youth thou d"-i invite

Secure while Fortune swells The gale,
Aud Joins 20 scenes of future power (;
Vet every bliss 10 hope allied,
And every tribute paid 20 pride,
Must dwindle in an hour
The terrors Of sublime alright,
The sympathetic pang Is thine
oh muse vi pan and fond delight,
BE all thy mixed emotions mine
Yet Tar from oceans desert waste,
To scenes more tranquil let Us haste,
Where slices aud the shades prevail;
where science waits us 10 best0w
More luxury than wealth can know,
Or language reveal.
Remote from courts and re gal sway,
with ihee, fair goddess, let me dwell;
with thee eujoy the ptnsiyelay,
And court The humble, rustic cell,
Where pure Content my soul may bless
With secret, silent happiness,
That mrbtalfeast Ia courts unknown;
There hail my yielding bosom iind
These kindlins captures Of the mind
EbAi lnger round thy throne.

THE LAST
"Hoot away despair.
Neve r yield to SORROW
The blacklist sky may wear
A smiling face tomorrow"


1t was Saturday night, and the wi.
dow of the Pine Cottage sat by her
blazing faggots with her FIVE tattered
children at her side, endeavoring 10y
listening to the ar:lessness OF their ju
venile prattle; to dissipate the heavy
gloom that pressed upon her mind.
Forn long year her own feeble hands
had provided for her helpless family,
for she had no supporter-she thought
she had no friend in the wide unfriend.
" world around. But that myste-
rious providence, the wisdom of whose
ways are above human comprehen.
sion, had visited her with wasting sick
ness, and her little means had become
exhausted. 1t was now midwlnter,
and the snow lay heavy and deep
through all the surrounding forests,
while storms seemed still gathering in
the heavens, and the driving wind
roaring through the bending pines and
rocked her puny mansion.
The last herring smoked upon the
Goals before her, it was the only arti.
Gle of food she possessed; and no won
der ifher desolate state brought up in
her lone bosom all the anxieties of q
mother when she looked upon her chill.
dren; and no wonder, forlorn as she
was if she suffered the heartswellinss
of despair to rise, even though she knew
that He whose promise is for the wi
dow, and to the orphan, cannot forget
his word. Providence had many years
before, taken from her her eldest son,
who went from his forest home, to try
his fortune on the seas, since which she
had heard no note or tidings of him;
and in later times had, by the hand of
death, deprived her Of the companion
and staff in support, IN her husband.
But TO this hour she had been upborn;
she had been not only able TO provide
for her little flock, but had never lost
n opportunity of minlsterlng to the
wants ofthe miserable and destitute.
The indoient may well bare with pc.
verify while the ability to gain a susie
nance remains. The individual who
has but his own wants TO supply may
suffer with forti,ude the winter OF want;
HE affections are not wounded his heart
is not wrung. The most desolate in
porulous cities, may hope, for charity
has not quite closed her heart and hInd,
and shut her eyes on misery. But the
industrious mother of the helpless ana
depending children, far from the reach
of human charity has none of these to
console her. And such a one was the
widow OF Pine Cottage, but as shr
bent over the fire and took up tie last
