FROM THE sEw-YoRg TIMBs


TO DEATH
MosARcn Of the gloomy pail
Fell king Of terrors thou
Before whose awful shrine
Submissive nations bow
All shroudcd MS thou art in night,
And clad in horrors dire,
1 shrink not al thy fearful call,
Nor dread thy fatal ire.
Leave TO the joys Of love and life
The beautiful and bright,
Nor blast the flower just springing forth
In loveliness and light.
Strew not the blossoms Of the spring,
Waste not the vernal bloom
Young hopes, young hearts, are fitting not
The silence OF the tomb.
Fly from the joyous crowd, for there
Thy frown is darker yet,
Nor on the brow elate with hope
Thy chilling signet set,
And spare, o spare that smiling youth,
And pass th't blooming bride,
lie IL his fathers only hope,
And she, her mothers pride
Yet vain all human prayer to thee,
Lone Regent of the dead
The bridegroom and the bride, the young
And beautiful are fled.
Why wilt thou deign to send thy shafts
Amid the blythe and free ?
Como to this heart, long TO tread
Tho narrow grave with thee.
Come in consumption's pallid hue,
Or flushed with iever's heat,
Or bid thy agents quick destroy -
No doom fear to meet
Come, for this world is nought 10 me,
I've seen fond hopes decay
A willing victim bends TO thee,
And courts thy dreary sway.

STANZAS.
She sung Of Love--whilc DER her lyro
The rosy rays ofevening fell,
AS If to feed with their soft fire
Tho soul within that trembling she'll
The same rich light hung o Ter her check,
And playd around those lips that sung
And spoke, as flowers would sing and speak
lfLove could lend their leaves tongue.
But soon tho West no longer burn'd,
Each rosy ray from heaven withdrew;
Aud, when to gaze again | turnd,
The minstrcl's form secm'd fading too.
As if her light and heavens were one,
Tho glory all had left that frame
And from her glimmcriug hps, the tone
As from the parting spirit, camo.
Who ever loved but had the thought,
That hc and all hc loved must part
Filld with this fear, flew and caught
That fading image to my heart
And cried, " Oh Love is this thy doom
oh light Of youths respondent day
Must ye then lose your golden bloom,
~ And thus, like sunsl,ine, die away

The following lines, SAYS the National Gazette,
have been published in Kentucky as from the
pen of Mrs Beauchamp, the heroine Of the ap-
palling tragedy recently consumnated in that
state. It is not impossible that they are genuine.
Whatever may be thought Of their merits as po-
etry it is certain that they are cunlingy contrv-
ed to palate her guilt and excite compassion for
her fate. The theory ofrerenge, taught III them,
is as liabocal as the spirit with which she pur-
sued the destruction Of her enemy, aud sacriilc-
ed the character and life of her husband. 1t is
not ga tomb of Love and Honor" in which they
e9ose, hut one of Murder and Suicide, the
fruits Of horrible infataation and implacable NAL
ice.

The husband and the wife repose;
Safe from their never-ending storms,
And safe from all their cruel foes.
A child of evil fate she liv'd,
Villains wlcs her peace had cross'd,
The husband uf her heart reyiv'd
The happiness she long had lost.
lie heard her tale of matchless woe,
And burning for revenge lie rose,
And laid the coward villain low,
And struck dislnay 10 Virtues foes.

Ere warn'd thy breast, here drop tear,
i And let the sympathetic food,
f Deep in thy mind, its traces bear.

A Brother or Sister, thou,

And here let fall the grateful tear.
