NIGHT IN JUNE.
Might steals upon the world-tIc shades
with silent flight sweeping Gown
To stecp-as Days last glory fades
ia limits Of blue the landscape brown;
The wave breaks not--dcep slumbcr holds
i'he dewy leaves tile nigh; wind folds
Her melancholy wing ara, sleep
Is forth upon The puisllcss deep.
The willows and the silen, rocks
hre brooding oer The waters mild
Like fond mo,hcr'S pendant lo:by,
Hung sweetly oeI icr sleeping C,.i.t.
The flowers that fringe the purple steam,
Are sinking TO their evening dream,
And earth appears luvcy spot,
Where Sorrow voice awahGrs DO.
But see! such pure, such beautiful
Aac burning SceAes awake TO- bi.iN,
In ynn bright depths, they render dur
The !oyeliest tints, that mantle dali

SccI1-as on high they breathe aud burn
Bright blossoms DER Days shadowy urn.
a. this still hour, when starry songs
Ale ilnatins through Nights glowing rug,
How sweet TO view tl."Se radiant ,hrOngs
Glitter around the thGuse of 3unc.
TO see them, III tie watch of love,
Gave from The holy heavens above.
Aud Ia their robes of brightness roam
Ike angels DER the eternal dome:
Their !ish. is on the Ocean isles,
Ills trembling on the mountain s,ceam,
Ard the far hills beneath their smiles
Seem creatures of a blessed dream.
Upon the deep their glory lies,
IS ii untesSurnd fGorI the skies,
And comes soft flashing from is wavo'r
Like sea gems from their sparry cave.
Why gaze thus lis worse than vain:
Twas here gazcd in years gone by,
Ere Lies cold winds had brea thed one stain
On fnucy's rich aud mellow sky;

There is much poetry and refined sentiment
as well as an instructive moral in the follow
ing lines, translated from the Arabic, which
we tind in the London Magazine.
Why should blush that fortunes frown
Dooms me life's humble paths to tread;
To live unheeded and unknowa;
To sink forgotten to the dead'
IT'S not the good, the wise, the brave,
That surest shine or brightest rise,
The feather sports upon the wave,
The pearl in oceans cavern lies.
Each lesser star that studs the sphere,
Sparkles with undiminished light;
Dark and eclipsed alone appear
The Lord of Day, the Queen of Night.

POETRY.

EDWIN c. HoLLAND.-Among the native
poets h have attained any considerable &C.
lebrhy, EDWIN G. HOLLAND holds a pre-emi-
nent rank; and had he not been untimely cut
off from the world, il is not extravagant to say,
that he would have done much for the ad-
vancement of the reputation of American poe
sy and literature. Mr.. Holland was native
of Charleston, South-Carolna, and by profess
SION a Lawyer; but as he preferred the waters
of the Helsconian fount, to the dull and dry
study of the law, he never held a very con-
spicuocs place at the Bar. In the year 1916,
Mr.. Holland published a volume Of his fugitive
poetry, collected principally from the columns
ofnewspapers, where they had been originally
published, under the signature Of Oriando.-
Among others, which the volume contained,
was the one which we shall copy, and which
is probably one Of the happicst eiusions of the
Bard. They were written to perpetuato the
memory of young lady. The comparison
Of beautiful young female to flower. to use
the language of Mr. Hollands reviewer, " is
obvious, and frequent in poetry; but we think
that 1t is here managed with uncommon delica-
cy and consistency, and with great novelty of
thought and Manner
Mr.. Holland was the author Of the celebra-
ted Prize Poem, entitled the Pillar of Glory:"
but his success, in this instance, did him no
good; but on the contrary, was the cause of
rctarding his progress, as poet The poem
was secuted by his rivals, and criticised and
condemned by them, until it was brought into
unmerted ridicule, and the author driven al
most 10 despair.
Mr.. Holland, if we mistake not died two or
three years since, in Charleston, and with the
gifted CRAFTS, slumbers beneath the " clod
of the valley"
There was low'r Of bcauteous birth,
Ot lavish charms, and chasten'd die,
1t smil'd upon the lap of earth,
and caught the gaze of ev'ry eye.
he vernal breeze, whose step is seen
Imprinted in the early dew,
Ne'er brush d ilow'r Of brighter beam,
Or nurs'd Il bud Of loveller hue!
at blossom'd not in dreary wild,
la darksome glen, or desert bow'r,
But grew, like Flora's iav're child,
In sunbeam soft, and fragrant show'r
"The graces lov'd with chastend light
To flush its pure, celestial bloom,
And all its blossoms were so bright,
Ii secm'd not form'd to die SO soon
" Youth round the fow're ere il fell
In armour bright was seen to stray,
And beauty said, her magic spell
Should keep its perfume from decay.
" The parent-stalk from which it sprung,
Transported its halo spread.
In holy umbrage DER it hung,
And tears Of hcav' v'n-born rapture she'd
a." Yet, fragile How'r! thy blossom bright,
Though guarded by magic spell,
Like sweet beam Of evening light,
In lonely hour of tempest fell.
"The death-blast Of the winter air,
The cold frost and the night-wind came,
They nipt thy beauty once so fair
1t shall not bloom on earth again.

TIMID LOVE.


o say not that Arthur will see me no more,
His kindness merit, his anger deplore;
Though doubt made me silent, yet why should
he fly,
Since the dawn of affection is timid and shy,
Eve nourished the woodlark he brought from
the nest,
The flowers he presented placed in my breast +;
When their beauty no longer delighted my eyes,
With their last dying odours mingled my sighs
Beneath yon steep cliff, where the strawberries
grow,
Though the surf in rude tcmuts beats ever below:
BY the dim light Of morning, unseen repair,
To gather the fruit, that my Arthur may share.
Alone in the dusk of the evening rove,
With my harp | resort to the depth of the
grove;
With secret delight, there I sing all his lays,
And practise the music made sweet by his
. praise.
o will he return, his loved haunts to retracei
Will no rash resentment appear in his facet
No more like blast wil-he rush through the
door,
AID wiring my sad heart with reproaches no
more.
Literary cadet and Rhode-Island statesman. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1827-1829, 1827-04-21

though thousands in all ages have been made to drink
of thee, thou art no less bitter that account. Ills

a Naaim--Which Periander of Corinth, one Of
the seven sages of Greece left as memorial of his
knowledge and benevoence, was.-.4nger-.'Be
master of thy anger"-He considered anger as the
great dsturber of human life, the chief enemy both
of public happiness and private tranquility, and
therefore thought, that he could not lay poserty
a stronger obligation to revere his memory, than
by leaving them caution against this outrageous
passion
Married Life.-Connubal happiness, is of too fine

flower which Indifference will chill, and suspicion
blast. 1t isa sensitive plant, which will not even
bear the touch of unkindness. 1t must be waercd

the glow ofattention, and guardedby the impregna-

Thus maured, it will bloom with fragrance in eve.

years.
Real Friends. When Socrates, was building

the smallness of the design, why man so eminent
should not have an abode more suitable to his dign

opinion of this great master Of human nature, con

THE HERMIT AND THE BEAR.
"a NEW EDITION

"A NEW EDITIoN.)
A Hermit so grave, once lived in a cave,
Just like Jackson IN Hermitage cevery;
And while he was there, domestcatrd a Bear,
Just exactly like Jackson did Beverly.
So one hot summer day, to repose down he lay;
AS contracted as ckson did iie
And sat Is un, grown wise, to mind oft the flies
Not unlike the employment OF Beverly.
But one obstinate luut still kept buzzng about,
As fearless as Clay and as jovially-
He was wach'd cnsc by Brlin who doomed him 10 ruin
With avengeance as bitter as Beverly.
When at length the fly chose to perch on his nose,
And like Clay he bore down on him heavily
Says fife, "n,y lad nov I'll have you, by gad"-
twas just quotation from Beverly.
Then he struck with force, 'twoud have knocked down
horse.
Or astonsi'd the author of Waverly;
But dreadfu, disaster! it fell on his master,
Just like the great blow am'dby Beverly.
Now in Cuffie's distress his sole comfort was this
He had punished the fly most severely;
While the blow in its fall never touched him at all,
That was aimed Thy bold Carter Beverly.
MORAL.
The malice of foes in their sptefullest deyily.
Seldom do much harm the friendship Of Beverly
T u.
