where are the visions of ecstacy bright
That burst DER tie darkness and Danish the night
o where the charms that the day unfold
To the heart and the eye that their gores hod9
Deep, deep in the silence of sorrow mourn
For no visions of beauty for me shall eer burn.
They have told of sweet purple hues of the West,
OF the rich tnts that sparkle oceans wide breast
They have told me of stars that are burning high,
When the night is careering along the vast sky;
But alas there remains, wheresoever flee,
Nor beauty, nor lustre, nor brightness for me!
But yet, to my lone gloomy couch there is given
ray to my heart that is kindled in Heaven;
1t soohs the dark path through this valley of tears,
1t enlivens my heart, and my sorrow it cheers,
For it tells of morn when this night shall pass by,
And my spirit shall dwell where the days do not die

THE WIND.

The Wind has language would could learn;
Sometimes tbs soothing, and sometimes tits sterni
Sometimes it comes like low, sweet song,
And all things grow calm, as the sound floats along,
And the forest is lul by the soft dreamy strain
And sumber sinks down on the wandering main,
And its chryslal arms are folded in rest,
And the tall ship sleeps on its heaving breast
Sometimes, when Autumn grows yellow and scar,
And the sad clouds weep for the dying year,
II comes like wizard, and mutters its spell
would that the magical tones might tell
And it beckons the leaves with its viewess hand,
And they leap from the branches at its command,
And follow its footsteps with wheeling feet,
Like fairies that dance in the moonlight sweet.
Sometimes it comes in the Wntry Night,
And hear the flap of its pinions of might,
And see the flash of its whitening eye,
AS it looks from the thunder cloud sailing ON high,
And pauses gather its fearful breath,
And lifts up its voice like the angel of DEATH
And the pillows leap up when the summons they hear,
And the ship flies away, as if winged with fear,
And the uncouth creatures that dwell in the deep,
Start up at the sound from their floating sleep,
And through the waters like clouds hro the nigh
To share in the tumult, their joy and delight;
And when the moon rises, the ship is no more,
Its joys and its vanished DER,
And the fierce storm that slew it, has faded away,
Like the dark dream that flies from the Light Of the day.

DEATH OF MARY.

If British poets:
DEATH OF MARY.
If had thought thou could'st have died,
might not weep for thee;
But forgot, when by thy side,
That thou could'st mortal be;
1t never through my mind had passed,
That time would Ger be DER,
When on thee should look my last,
And thou should'st smile no more.
And still upon that face look,
And think twill smile again:
And still the thought will not brook,
That | must look in vain:
But when speak thou dost not say
What thou ne'er left'st unsaid;
And now feel--as we'll may,
Sweet Mary thou art dead.
If thou would'st stay, ev'n as thou art.
All cold and all serene,
still might press thy silent heart,
And where thy smile has been;
While cen thy chill, bleak corse have,
Thou seemest still mine own,
But there.-I lay thee in the grave,
And noio-l am alone.
do not think, where'er thou art,
Thou hast forgotten me;
And l, perhaps, may sooth this heart,
In thinking still of thee!
Yet there was round thee such dawn
OF light meier seen before,
As Fancy never could have drawn,
And never can restore.

A few years since, and Alabama was wilder

wild and ferocious. But reverse the picture and
what does she PRESENT. An industrious, enterpris-

delightful country, rich in soil, Astounding in re-

a population of about 10000. The State Constlu-
