THE MOUNTAIN LIGHT.
IA Npnnish Tak.l


Darkness covered the mountains Of
Chillan. The mists of evening had set
tied in soft dews on the plain, and the
tremulous starlight was playing on
streamlet and hill-Sweet slumber had
locked the innocent and the weary in its
silken folds, all but Orol and his loved
Almanac. They were yet wandering on
the distant pa'terre, listening to the car
OILS of the sportive nightingale, and
watching the light Of tempest-cloud,
that had passed over from the ocean at
midday, and was then flashing far away
on the submits of the Andes.
"DOst thou remember, Almanca," said
Orol, "when once we wandered here,
in the still evening, how the shout of the
murderers broke upon us from the dis
,ant hamlet'--O, yes thou dost, and the
brave Ongolmo, my father perishcd there
o, my father"
"Yes," replied Almanac, "and Orol
the dutiful son as he few to the protec-
tion of his parent left me to wander to
my dwelling alone and unprotected.
Did that prove thy love to mei"
Almanac, thou hast forgiven me that
o, loved thee too muchl Had been
in my fathers arms instead offondly lin
gering here, as did, with thee, ! might
have saved him, or laid down my life for
his, which would have done most glad.
iy, that Chillan might yet have owned

THE LIVING AND THE DEAD


Maiden!--whose mirthful glances speak
Youths fulness Of delight,
The opening rose upon whose cheek,
Is dehcately bright,
As the spring flowers thy hand hath wove
Thy sunny locks among,
All radiant in the light Of love-
Forsake the festal throng,
Draw near and bow the graceful head, =
To gaze upon the youthful dead.
Seel on her pale and placid brow,
Parts the dark wavy hair;
Upon her breast her hands Of snow
Are clasped, as If in prayer;
And yet there fingers on her face,
Like moonlight on the wave,
Shedding Ger all tender grace,
The sngel smile she gave,
when from this pale but lovely clay,
The sainted spirit passed away.
Ma;deni what recks that spirit now
How fair its earthly shrine;
That il ffaH dwelling place below
Was beautiful a. thmei
Those faded charus but yesterday
Like thine resplendent shonei
A few short honrs, sDd.wsn decay
May feed opon thine own.
Literary cadet and Rhode-Island statesman. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1827-1829, 1827-05-19
Yet shudder not; think st thou that she
Would now exchange her lot with thee!

Yet shudder not; think st thou that she
Would now exchange her lot with thee!
MOI she must chill and tasteless deem
The cup Of earthly joy;
For she has tasted Of the stream
OF bliss without alloy.
Youth its gay visions may unfold
Before thy dlzzled eye:-
Its brightest dreams are dark and cold,
To that reality,
Which msrtal fancy cannot paint.
The bliss ofthe assembled saint!
Devote not a. the worlds vain shrine,
Maiden! thy youthful heart;
But give thy love to things divine,
Immortal as thou art!
Then, if thy hope, thy treasure be
Beyond the changing skies,
the opening grave shall seem to thee
The gate Of Paradise,
And Death will be the angel sent
To cali thee home from banishment.

The lines below, are from the pen of oul
fair friend and distinguished literary country.
7 woman. Mrs. Harriet Muzy. We copy them
from the Philadelphia Album. in which they
originally appeared, and TO which paper Mrs.
Mzzy has for some time been regular con-
sributor; and we are happy TO state, that she
hasreccntly been engaged by Mr.. Clarke. the
psoprietor, to take charge of one Of the de-
'Partments Of that very interesting publication.
That the Album. will be signally benefited by
tbs arrangement, We are perfectly satisfied;
and as Mrs. NJ izzy and Mr.. Clarke are both
natives Of Rhode-Island. We hope they viii be
patroniled by our citizens.
sTANZAS.
Low in the del the wild flow g,ows,
It's fragrant perfumes rise 10 heaven;
The blossom withers where il grows,
And not one sigh is giyen
lone in the bush the wild bird sings,
On desert airs the soft notes float;
To heaven the thrilling cadence springs,
Mono heeds his dying note!
Deep in the oceans coral caves,
The ee with hidden Mstre giows;
Though DER troll the gestless waves,
IT'S buried where it grows!
The lonely flower, the desert bird,
The buried gem, fair emblen5 are
OF PASSIONS power. unseen unheard-
Save in the soul-and buried there.

THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIM.

Although this beautiful little poem, has fire.
qnently been published in the Newspapers OF
the times, We copy it with pleasure, and with
I'm assurance, that the pcrusal Of it will graft
f. our patrons. II is by Robert Sou,hey; the
famous Poet Laureate, and may be ranked
among the happiest ofhis effisions. The NOR
al it contains, is not less striking than true,
ard is worthy Of remembrance.
II was a summer evening,
Old Kaspar's work was done!
And he before his cottage doc,
Was sitting in the sun,
And by him sportcd on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmne.
She saw her brother PcterkiD
Roll something large and round,
Which he beside the rivulet
In playing there had found;
He came to ask what he had found.
That was SO large, and smooth, and round
Old Kaspar took it from the boy
Vino stood expectant by;
And then the old man shook his head,
And With a natural sigh,
''ris some poor fellows scull said he,
Who fell in the great victory.
! find them in the garden. for
There's many here about
And often when 60 to plough,
p The ploughshare turns them ont;
For many thousand men, said he,
Were slain in the great victory.
Now tell US what twas all about,
Young Peterkin he cries.
And liftIe Wilhalmine looks I'm
With wondcr-wating eyes;
Now tell us oil about the war,
And what they kll'd each other foy.
II was the English, Kaspar cried,
Who put the French to rout;
But what they kill'd each other for.
i-could not we'll make out.
But every body said, quoth he,
That twas a fimous victory.
NY father lived at Blenheim then,
Yon little stream hard by;
They burnt his dwelling to the ground
And he was forc'd to fly;
So with his wife and child nc fed,
Nor had he where to rest his head.
With fire and sword the country round
Was wasted far and wide,
And many childing mother then,
And newborn infant died;
but things like that, you know. must be
At every famous victory.
They say it was a shocking sight
After the field was won,
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun;
But things like that, you know, must be
After famous victory.
Great praise the Duke Of Marlbro' won,
And our good Prince Eugene.
Why twas n very wicked thing
Said little Wilhelmine.
Nay-nay-m my little girl quoth he,
It was a famous victory.
And every body praised the Duke
Who such fight did win.
But what good came Of it. at last'
Quoth little Peterkin.
Why that cannot tell, said he,
But twas famous victory.

ATAHhULPA-THE INCA.
Quid non n'ortats pectora cogis.
fun saera ta'acs? VIRGIL
Descendant OF the Sun! hard was thy fate
How did'st thou fail from thy imperial
throne
Where thou had st been the arbiter Of state,
Supreme in thy comm and--in rule alone!
Well had it been If thou had'st less reinlgent
shone
Then might'st thou no, have died by men with
rage led on.
Al was thy golden couch and splendid
throng,
Thy stately show, and rich tiara q view,
The cause Of those indignities and wrongs,
That Oh the base Incarceration drew!
30! cursed appetite Of gold!"-sreat source
of wo!
"Wha. dost thou no: compel the mortal breast
TO do?"
And was confinement all that thou didst
bear,
From harshness, cruelty, and ruthless
arms!
Piza.ro's plghted faith thou didst not share,
But met a wr3tched doom mid dire
alarms;-
A doom that prayers, and flowing tears could
not remove,
And nought but Spanish Inqusition could ap-
prove.
Long taugh: the worship Of the immortal
sun,
BY whose wise tutelage his empire stood,
The Inca marchd, and thought no hazard
And little dream d Of slaughter, death and
blood:
Here with his numerous rctinue, in Cuzco's
plain,
Ike met, for friendly interview, the troops of
Spain.
With breviary and cruciiix in hand,
The monk:sh priest, with bold fanatic
zeal,
Advanced and met the Inca with his band
Not to remark upon the monarch's veal,
But teach the Romsh faith, and dark monas-
tic cyeods,
And otSf vengefal threats Of sanguinary deeds.
Amazed, the New Worlds sun-desccnded
lord
Asks, whence these strange-these dark
mysterious things,
The monk his book Prescnts-but this alb
horrcd
As mute, and dull, upon the earth he
flnga;
Enough was this TO raise the bold marauder's
ire
The plain is red with blood-he,e thousands
fall-cxp;re.
Great Inca couldst thou not thy ransom
gain,
Whom heaps Of gold, for thee, thy nation
paid,
In hopes that thou, their Prince, would'st
not be slain'
Ah no!-but did near death make thee
afraid!
And dread Of all it's untried pains, raise de-
sire,
To leave the service Of the Sun, to 'scape the
fire!
o! wha, unjust and Popish deeds are these
The court his guilt pronounce-his sem
tence, death:
As just and right the friar signs their fell de-
crees,
And with unholy hands they take his
breath.
From justice, honour, right, humanity aside,
A shameful, cruel death, ArAHAULPA died.
