afterwards, l noticed beautiful country re-
sdence on the banks Of the river, surround
ed by all the elegance of wealth and taste
Richly cultivated fields stretched them
selves out on every side as far as tlie eye
could reach; flocks and herds were scatter-
ed in very directon--It was splendid scene
the sun was just setting behind the west
ern hills--and while troop of neatly dress
ed children sported on the adjacent school
house green, the mellow notes of the flute
mingled with their noisy mirth. "There," "
said an old friend, "lives Harry Hemphill /;
that is his farm; those are his cattle here
is his school house, and these his own, and
some orphan children of his adoption, which
he educates at his own expense--having
made noble fortune by his industry and
prudence. he spends his large income in
deeds of charity-and he and Mary mutu-
ally give each other the credit of doing all
this.''

Bright eyes sparkle round me now,
Weeping flinges shade their bealning;
And round many lovely brow

Other eyes on me have shone,
Other brows I've ga-ed upon,
Recollections sighings say,
Where are they where are thcy'
There are happy moments yet,
Wake the soul to life and gladness,
Moments make the heart forget
Weeping woe and signing sadness.
But the days which memory brings,
Cheer the soul like desert springs,
Recollections sighings say,
Where are they where are theyf
There are scenes so fair and bright,
Midst their charms we live to linger,
There are others traced in light
On the soul by memory's finger.
Those are sweet: this heart must own,

THE GRAVE.

"Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north-wird's
breath;
And stars to set--but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, OH
DeQthh'
Who hath not thought of the dark and
gloomy abodes Of the dead---the scpulchrc-
alike Of the proud king and the humnle cot
tager, along whose brow the care and labour
Of years have scattered many aturrow--and
whose only hope in the toll and turmoil OF
e'life's bleak waste" is the blessed assurance
perchance, of happy immortality There
is something in the weary preclnts OF the
"narrow house," where all lie undistinguisll-
ed together-the mighty and the noble, in
state, magnificent in their ruin, and the
one above whose moulderng form no storied
monument or scu pturcd marble tells now
he ended his existence There is some
thing, | say, in all this, which should bow
the mighty to the earth, and cause the hum
bic slave to walk with proud heart and
kindling eye before him who beats him.
This is commonplace themc-but the
mind of man reyerts often to it against his
will There is nought which gives such a
blunt to the distinctions of earth. which by
reflection, will subdue every cause OF envy,
as this simple but all important theme
Look at the mighty of cld-the philosophers
and statesmen of years gone by Where
are they s-How many are forgotten =
! Their deeds are s.umbering in the lap OF
oblivion-the wave Of time hath swept even
their historians into the boundless sea OF Il
Iternitv-the fallen wall conceals their SC
pulchres, in the lonely aisies OF their fore
| fathers-and the night-wind sighs among the
ruins where once the song Of JOY. and the
burst Of gladness stole forth from the heart
of glee; and the lustre of many an eye IS
shrouded in the deep graves night, winch
kindled with love and looked abroad upon
the varied scenes of Nature, with admiration
and delight. Alas the pride OF man goes
down with him into the dust it withers
when the lamp of his transient existence
flickers out into the slumbering tomb =
Waere are they who sounded the clarion OF
war along the plains of Thessaly--the mount
of Marathon, and Samos' rocky isle 9'-
The trumpet's voice has died upon the
brceze-the thousands which it aroused have
gone to rest-the castles which have been
subdued and won, on whose walls the spear
| elttered and the cannon pealed. have crum-
! bled into dust--the ivy fingers about the de-
caying turrets--the raven builds her nest
| in the easements, and sends upon the ear OF
midnight her desolate wailings---the owl
boots where the song was heard--and man,
proud man, who once fought and won-he
who reared the structure,
s'Sleeps, where all must sleeP!"
His memory is not i. the bosom of the guide
who conducts the traveller among the shad-
owy magnfcence of other ages, and he is
forgotten Should not these thinss-the
mutability of earthly grandeur-pour into
the soul deep and lasting preparations for
that great last change, when long and
dreamless slumber falleth upon mann Nheh

DAWN.

There is a soft and fragrant hour,
Sweet, fresh, reviving is its power,
IT'S when ray
Steals from the veil of parting night,
And by its mild prelusid light
Foretels the day.
IT'S when some lingering stars scarce shed
Ger the mist-clad mountains head
Their fairy beam,
Insn one by one retiring, shroud,
Dim glittering through fieecy cloud,
Their last faint CLEAN.
lis when, just walked from transient death,
ny some fresh zephyr's balmy breath,
The unfolding rose
Sheds on the air its rich perfume,
While every bud with deeper gloom
And beauty glows.

"eeps DER each dropping night closed flower,
Will softly fly
ihose doubtful mists, that leave to view
Each glowing scene of various hue
That charms the eye.

Receives the East's first kindlng glow.

To soothc those pangs so keen, 50 wild,

POE 1Lll.G3sYs )
FROM THE SPANISH.

Thou hast cut off the heart that gave thee,
Like weed that was worthless and vain
An heart that had persisted TO save thee,
Thou hast given to the bleak world again;
Thine is false, that SO oft thou has told me
Lived only to beat for my own,
And the arms that were wont to enfold me
Perhaps round another are thrown!
When gazed on thy beautiful tresses,
On thy brow and thy bosom of snow
When lived amid thy carcsses-
Oh! how little thine heart did know!
When felt that young heart wildly beating,
believed it could beat but for me;
The dclusion was lovely, but feeting,
AS all that is lovely must bel
Yet who, when thy bosom was hcavng,
While he drank thy bewildcrng sighs.
Could think that thine heart was decelvlng,
And false the pure light of thine eyes,
oh! who, when thine arms were around hm,
AS his lip to thy kisses he press'd,
Gould think that thy falsehood should wounc
him,
That plowcd thine head on his breast
But go! Though that soft breast was heaven,
It's SHOWS were heaven alone
To the chosen one to whom it is given
To rest on it, all is his own;
Farewell! thou art false, and leave thee!
FAREWELL my vain hopes resign!
Farewell! / could never deceive thee
No; the crime and the ruin are thine!
