Mr.. Daniel Webster. In the trial OF an important
cause at the United States Circuit Court III Boston,
a shutting witness fell into the hands oil Mr.. w.

bring him to direct answer, and while he was ex-

SPRING.

How sweetly bloom the rubrlc how'rs,
In natures gay arcade
The songsters wake the scented bow'rs,
In one sweet serenade.
Hark how the robin rours her note
On the ETHEREAL gale:
High pois'd in air the swallows float,
And smoothly now they sail.
Come, view the meadows cloth'd in green,
And see the beating fock
Mark in the eyes extended scene,
The high exalted rock.
There feecy clouds, of snowy white,
Ting'd by the sun on high,
Sail down the sleeps Of endless night,
And leave the clear blue sky.
But, fairer scenes may yet be shown,
Where Luna's beams now shine;
Where sweetest flowrs are ever strown,
On banks of BRASDYwINE.
In this romantic, lovely spot,
/ fan could live and die
SHELTERED beneath rural cot,
Where human wishes fly.
o SPRING, thou much remnd'st the hour,
When great Jehovah spoke,
And Sol burst forth on Adams bow'r,
And on fair Eden broke.

FOR THE WATERMAN.
To B. A., EsauIRE.


As passing through the streets to day,
fellow stopped me on my way,
And begged would minute wait,
AS he had something to relate
About a certain little thing
Devoid of life, yet had sting
That poisoned many peaceful mind,
And set some crazy Poets blind;
And then his phiz began to lower
As he recounted DER and DER,
The many, that he knew OF late,
Who met with that unhappy fate.
listened quietly the while,
And vet could not help but smile
When he exclaimed "Oh cursed B
That critic rogue, that NIwDE."
In truth, his little heart was full,
And then | felt at mine pull
Which seemed to say that was wrong
In woundins this poor child of song;
And felt tina, duty babe me say
something to .lispel away
The canker-worm OF blighting care,
That in his heart had nestled there's:
And ere left the little man,
The balm of hope had just began
To bid his inward suffering
And give the little Poet peace.
And now my kind beloved B.
Permit me here to caution thee,
How YOU give others scrawls away,
When they alone with you should stay;
Lest you unhapply should bring
Yourself in contact with that sting
And that is nothing more or less
