Fourth of JuIy.-Preparations are making in
many places for the approaching celebration of this
memorable day. As it will be the fttieth anniver'
sary of our deverance from bondage il is intended
to manifest unusual splendor on the occasion.
lis II too early for WiLmingtonians to think about
these things! The indifference which they have
manifested tor several years, on the return OF this
great jubilee is certainly not very evincve OF their
patriotism or their reverence for the memory oil
those good and brave whose blood and treasure
were expended TO purchase the civil and religious
freedom with which Americans are blessed. We
verify believe, that when we to remember
the FOURTH OF July, and when the events Of thai
day TAIL inspire our bosoms with those sentiments
which they ought to excne-we shall cease TO be
tree people and will deserve the chains OF slavery
We sincerely hope, that on the ensuing anniversary
not only the citizens of our Borough, but those OIL
our State generally, will catch some sparks of the
fire that animated the brave " DetaVare Regiment );
and that they will kindle flame which will burn
sufficiently bright to show that they have not for
gotten the times that tried mems souls"-thal
they cherish the memory of the heroes of those
days-and that they are thankful to Heaven for
the blessings they enjoy.

POETRY.

&c following is translation from an ancient Sp
nish Poem, which, says the Edinburgh Review,
surpassed by nothing which we ase acquaint
With in the Spanish Language, except the Odes
Luis de Deon.
.. let the soul its slu,pber break,
Arouse its senses and awake,
To see how soon
t1ae, with its glories, glides away,
And the stern footsteps of decay
Comes stealing on.
How pleasure, like the passing wind,
Blows by and leaves us nought behind
But grief at last;
How still our present happiness
Seems, TO the wayward tncy, less
Than what is past.
And while we eye the rolling tide,
Down which our flying minutes glide
Away So fast;
Let Us the r. ascnt hour employ,
And deem each future dream Of 10Y
Area ly past.
Let no vain no. receive the mind
No happier let us hope to find
Tomorrow than to-day.
Our gol len dreams yore were bright,
Like them decay.
Our lives like hast'ning streams must be,
That into one engulhng sea
Are doomed to fail;
The sea of death, whose waves roll on,
Der king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rivers lordly tide,
Alike the humble rivulets glide
To that sad wave;
Death levels poverty and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but a starting place,
Life is the running of the race,
And death the goal:
There all our steps at last are brought,
That path alone of all unsought,
Is found of all.
Say, then, how poor and-little worth,
Are all those giiitcrins toys oil earth
That lure us here; -
Dreams of sleep that death must breai,
Alas! before it bids wake,
We disappear.
Long ere the damps OF death can blight,
The cheeks pure glow OF red and white
Hath passed away.
Youth s,nil d and all was heavenly fair;
Age came, and laid his fipger there,
And where are they:
Where is the strength that .fock'd decay,
The step that rose so l.ch, and CAV,
The hearts Ii. ht tone:-
Inc strength is gone, the step is slow,
And JOY g'oy's WEAKNESS and woe
When age comes on.
