That Power, whose dwelling is on high.
Its lofiest maryels doth reveal and speak
In the deep human heart more glorlousy
Than in the bursting thunder Thence the weak,
They that seem'd form'd, as Gower stems, but to

With the first wind, have risen to deeds, whose

These beautiful lines are free paraph, ase
the reflections which Bruce himself pours out il,
Travels
In sunsets light. DER Afrc thrown,
wanderer proudly ood
Beside the well spring, deep and lone,
Of Egypt's awful hood
he cradle Of tina mighty birth,
So long hidden thing to earth
He heard its life's first murmuring sound,
A low mysterious tone
music sought, but never found,
by kings and warriors gone;
ne listened--and his heart beat high
That was the song OF victory
The rapture Of conqueror's mood
kUsh burning through his framc,--
he depth OF that green solitude
Its torrents could not tame:
Though Stiffness lay, with eyes last smile
Round those far fountains of The Nile.
Night came with stars across his soul
There swept sudden change,
Zen a. the pilgrims glorious goal
shadow dark and strange
B'eathed from the thought, SO swift to fail
O,er triufnph's hour--and is this all.
No more than this what secn'd il now
First by thatspring to stand?
A thousand streams oi lovclier flow
Bathed his own mountain land
Whence far DER waste and ocean track,
Their wild sweet voices called him back.
They called him back TO many glade,
His childhood's haunt of play,
Where brightly trough the beechen shade
Their waters glanced away
They called him with their sounding waves
Back to his fathers hills and graves.
But darkly mingIing with th- thought
OF each familiar scene,
Rose up feaflul vision fraught
With all that lay between
The Arabs lance, the deserts gloom,
The whirling sands, the red simoon
Where was the glow of power and pride?
The spirit born to roam?
His altered hear within him died
With yearnings for his home
All vainly struggling to repress
That gush of painful tenderness.
He wept--the stars OF Alric's heaven
Beheld his bursting tears,
Fen on that spot where fate had given
The need of toiling years
oh happiness how lar we flee
Thine one sweet paths in search Of thee

 Rupture bctwecn the CAerokees and Os- ages.-At council lately held at Canton ment Gibson, the Cherokees demanded of the Osages satisfaction for the murder of some of their people, and restitution for several horses which had been stolen by the latter nation. The. Osages objected to treating, in consequence of the recent death of their Agent, Col. M'Fair, and pos itively refused to make the satisfaction re- quired by the other party, until another Agent should be appointed. The conse- quence of their refusal was an immediate declaration of war against them by the Cherokees--bnt, through the intercession of Col. Arbuckle, they have consented to suspend hostilities for the space of three months, for the purpose of giving the Osa- ges farthertime to deliberate upon the mat ter, and fer the appointment of an agent and receipt of instructions from Washing ton City, which, it is hoped, may prevent an effusion of blood between the parties.
