THE LAKE OF THE DISMAL SWAMP.
BY THOMAS MOORE. |

by THOMAS MOORE.
They tell of young man, who lost his life upon
the death Of girl he loved, and who suddenly dis
appearing from his friends was never afterwards
heard Of AS he had frequently said, in his rawlings,
that the girl was not Dead but gone to the Dismal
Swamp, it is supposed he had wandered into that
dreay wilderness, and had died Of hunger, or been
lost in some of its dreadful morasses.'
They made her grave too cold and damp,
For soul so warm and true;
'And she's gone to the Lake ofthe Dismal Swamp,
Where all night long, by freely lamp,
She paddles her white canoe.
'And her FREELY lamp soon shall see,
And her paddle soon shall hear
Long and loving our life shall be,
and I'll hide the maid in a cypress tree,
when the footstep of death is near p
Away to the Dismal Swamp he speeds
His path was rugged and sore,
Through tangled juniper, beds of reeds,
Through many a fen, where the serpent feeds,
And man never trod before
And, when on the earth he sunk to sleep,
If sumber his eyelds knew,
He lay where the deadly vine doth weep
Its venomous tear, and nightly steep
The flesh with blistering dew
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-08-13
ON MUSIC.

give me music, for my soul doth faint;
Pm sick of noise and care, and now mine ear
Longs for some air of peace, some dying plant,
That may the spirit from its cell unsphere.
Hark how it falls and now it steals along
Like distant bells upon the lake at eve,
When all is still and now it grows more strong,
AS when the choral train their drges weave,
Mellow and many voicd-where every close
Ger the old minister roof in wayy echo flows.
Oh am wrapt aloft My spirit scars
Beyond the skies, and leaves the stars behind
Lo angels lead me to the happy shores,
And floating peans fill the buoyant wind
Farewell base earth farewell my soul is freed,
Far from its clayey cell it springs, where music
dWels indeed
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-08-13

And near him the she-wolf stirr'd the brake.
And the copper-snake breath'd in bis ear,
Till he starting cried, from his dream awake,
ooh when shall see the dusky Lake,
and the white canoe of my dear
He saw the Lake, and meteor bright
Quick overits surface play'd-
Welcome he said, 'my dear-one's light! 2
And the dim shore echoed, for many night,
The name of the death-cold maid
Till he holow'd boat of the birchen bark,
Which carried him off from shore;
Far he FOLLOWED the meteor spark,
The wind was high and the clouds were dark,
And the boat return'd no more.
But oft, from the Indian hunters camp,
This lover and maid so true
Are seen at the hour of midnight damp,
To cross the Lake by FREELY lamp,
And paddle their white canoe
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-08-13

of her repulsion, struck him in the face.
At the moment she disappeared, the gen
tleman of the house, having heard the
scuffle, came out of his room to see what
was the matter. On seeing him and his
disorder, the worthy Dalec arlian, after
few hasty words Of respect, inquired if
any thing had happened TO disturb his
majesty.
Charles smiled and colored I'll confess
that am disturbed,' replied be, and de-
servedly so; for l am ashamed to say l
tried to force kiss from your pretty
damsel, and she made my cheek smart
for it. This little adventure has, how
ever, given me my freedom from all of
her sex, for lfe.-I am king and SOL
dier; my souls first object is the glory
attendant on those names, and | know
that the greatest Of men have, at times,
wrecked both, by undue admiration Of
women; they ruined Antony; they al
most ruined Caesar, and they made a fool
of Alexander; but, by heavens, they shall
neither ruin nor make fool of me i
know the ptibility Of my own nature;
and | know the power, the arts, and the
tyranny Of the sex! Therefore, from this
moment, | swear, by the sceptre of Swe-
den, and this good sword, never to look
on woman again with an eye to desire
her smile or fear her frown'
The celebrated Duchess Of Grammont, on being
brought before the revolutionary tribunal was ask
ed by Fouquier Tinville, the public accuser, whe-
Their was not true that she had sent money to her
emigrant children 81 was going to say not" re-
piled she, "but my life is not worth saving by
falsehood."

THE MAsQUER'S SONG.

BY INNS. REMAINS.
The festal eye, DER earth and sky,
In her sunset robe looks bright
And the perple hills Of Sicily,
With their vineyards, laugh IN light
From the marble cities Of her plains
Glad voices mingng swell;
But with yet more loud and lofty strains
They shall hail the vesper-bell
o sweet the tones when the summer breeze
Their cadence watts afar,
To float DER the blue Sicilian seas,
AS they CLEAN to the first pale star.
The shepherd greets them on bis height,
The hermit in his cell,
But deeper power shall breathe tonight,
In the sound of the vesper-bell
