A subscription has been opened at
Washington, to dcfray tho expense
Of avoyagc for scieMtifick discovery
towards tire south poIc. The plan,
it is understood, was proposed by
Mr.. Reynolds. who delivered lee
tures in New York a short time ago,
on Captain Symmcs' theory of tho
earth The object of the enterprise
is not to disprove or suhstantiate any
theory, hut TO discover the actual sit
uation of things in that part Of tho
globe for which it is designed. A
mony the principal patrons Of the
project are tho Secretaries OF the Ma
w and Treasury, the Postmaster
General and a number of the citizens
nj Washington, besides tho Poto-
mack Masonick Chapter.
The facts collected by Captain
Symmes, to substantiate his system
of the earth, arc so numerous and
interesting, and are applied with so
much ingenuity and plausibiIity. that
We think every one who has listen
cd to them must be surprised TO
find the common opinion of its sphcr-
ical form apparently contradicted by
so many point blank arguments. and
must feel a degree of curiosity to
know how nature can evade such
seemingly inevitable conclusions.-
Although few. we presume, expect to
find the earth hollow, many we lavo
I'D doubt, are impatient to know
more oil the open seas so many voy-
ayers have seen beyond the icy re-
giOms, and where are the winter re-
sorts Of the polar fish aud quadru-
peds.

the best account we have had, she mus lave been
at least lis years of age. According to her own
account, her father was soldier in Queen AIMS
wars-that on getting furlougb to go home, he
found his wife with fine dau( liter in her arms,
whom he called ANN, after the queen as token
of respect. In 1714, she.wen from Liverpool to

THE CHOICE

Now take thy choice, thou maiden fair,
Of the gifts thy lovers bring;
The one has brought thee jewels rare.
The other, flowers Of spring.
The maiden saw the rubies glow,
9 And wreath'd them in her hair;
But heavy they press'd upon her brow,
Like the weight Of secret care.
The gems that bound her forehead high,
Might have lighted dadem;
Yet pale grew her cheek and dim her eye
Her heart was not with them
And ever an inward pulse would stir,
When she saw spring flower wave:
But never again did they bloom fol her,
Till they blooned upon her grave,
She was borne to her grave, with purple pail
And 'scutcheon and waving plume
One follow ad-.fhe saddest one at alt
And threw flowers over her tomb,

THE ISLE or FLOWERS.

There's an Isle of flowers in the distant seas,
Fann'd by no gale but the summer breeze
The snowspirit hangs not her bright wreaths there,
Nor mingles her breath with the balmy air;
Nor binds with her sparkling diamond chain,
The silver lake, nor the dark blue main
And birds are there with plumage gay .
AS the western heaven at the close of day
Shall we launch our bark, my love, and go
To this beautiful Isle All no All no
Our kindred hearts, and smiling eyes,
We might not meet meath those sunny skies
And wheresoever the footsteps roam,
The soul, like an exile, signs for Home.
When the sun has set there, the stars arise
Like lamps of pearl in the azure skies
And the birds sing sweet, in the orange bowers,
Midst golden fruit and snow-white flowers;
Der the amber earth bright diamonds glow,
In the waters forests of coral grow;
The cinnamon groves shed rich perfume;
Can the soul meet there, with care or gloom
Then love, shall we launch our bark and go,
To this fragrant cline All ! no All no.
We would not meet in those spicy lands,
With such generous souls, and friendly hands;
And still where'er the footsteps roam,
The exiled spirit turns to Home ROSA.

And then to mark the lord Of an,
The forest hero, trained TO wars,
Quvered and ptmed, and bhthe and tall,
And scanned with glorious scars,
Walk forth, amid his reign, to dare
The wolf, and grapple with the bear.
This bank, in which the dead were laid,
Was sacred when its soil was ours,
Hither the artless Indian maid
Brought wreaths of beads and flowers,
And the gay chief and gifted seer
Worshpped the God. of thunders here,
But now the wheat is green and high,
On clods that hid the warriors breast,
And scattered in the burrows lie
The weapons Of his rest,
And there, in the loose sand, is thrown
OF his large arm the Wondering bone
All !! little.thought the strong and brave,
Who bore their lifeless chieftain forth,
Or the young wife that weeping gave
Her frst-born to the earth,
That the pale race, who waste us now,
Among their bones should guide the plough
They waste us-aye-lke April snow
In the warm noon, we shrink away
And fast they follow, as we go
Towards the setting day.
Till they shall fill the land, and we
Are driven into the western sea.
But behold fearful rign,
To which the white mems eyes are blind
Their race may vanish hence, like mine,
And leave no trace behind,
Save ruins DER the region spread,
And the white stones above the dead
Before these fields were shorn and TILED,
Full to the brim our rivers flowed;
The melody of waters filled
The fresh and boundless wood
And torrents dashed, and rivulets played,
And fountains spouted in the shade
Those grateful sounds are heard no more,
The springs are silent in the sun,
The rivers, by the blackening shore,
With lessening current run;
The realm our tribes are crushed TO get
May be barren desert yet. p

AN INDIAN AT THE BURYING-PLACE Oh
HIS FATHERS.

lllO T n IEAOs
1t is the spot I came to SEEK
My fathers ancient buriafplace,
Ere from these wales, ashamed and weak,
Withdrew our wasted race,
1t is the spot know it we'll
Of which our old traditions tell.
For here the upland bank sends out
A ridge towards the river side;
know the shaggy hills about,
The meadow smooth and wide
The plains, that, toward the southern sky,
Fenced east and west by mountains lie,
A white man, gazing on the scene,
Would say lovely spot was here,
And praise the lawn so fresh and green
Between the hills sd sheer.
like it mott would the plain
Lay in its tall old groves again.
The sheep are on the slopes around,
The cattle in the meadows feed,
And laborers turn the crumbling ground
Or drop the yellow seed,
And prancing steeds, in trappings gay
Whirl the bright chariot Ger the way.
Methinks it were nobler sight
To see these wales in woods srrayed,
Their SUBMITS in the golden light,
Their trunks in grateful shade,
And herds of deer that bounding go
Der rllls and PROSTATE trees below.
