The following poetic effusion, ii will be OBJ
served, is the introduction to Poem, on the
Western Country, written by Mr.. Alyan Bar
naby. We give it place in our columns, for
the same reason that induced us TO publish the
two original pieces which have recently ap.
peared in this paper, written by the same
hand, because We think it creditnble to the
talents Of the author; more especially when il
is considered how limited have been his adj
vantages for literary requirements, being
scarcely blessed in his earlier days with even
a common school education:--and as the sit
uation Of the country to which he alludes is
probably very familiar to many Of Our readers,
we have no doubt but it will afford them much
pleasure on perusal. We expect to be fur
nished weekly, with the Poem, by Numbers,

THE SPELLS OF HOME.

BY the soft green light in the woody glade,
On the banks Of moss where thy childhood
playd
By the waving tree thro' which thine eye
First look d in love 10 the summer sky
BY the dewy CLEAN, by the very breath
OF tho primrose tufts TO the grass beneath,
Upon thy heart there is laid spell
Holy and precious--ohl guard 1t well!
BY the sleepy ripple Of the stream,
Which hath lul'd thee into many dream
by the shiver Of the ivy-leayes,
To the wind Of morn at thy casement.eaves
BY the bees deep murmur in the lines,
by the music Of the Sabbath chimes;
By every sound Of thy native shade,
Stronger and dearer the spell is made.
BY the gathring round the winter hearth,
Whom twilight called unto household mirth
by the fairy tale or the legend old
In that ring Of happy faces told
ny the quiet hours when hearts unite
In the parting prayer, and the kind good
BY the smiling eye and the loving tone,
Over thy life has the spell been thrown.
And bless that gift lit hath gentle might,
4 guardian power and guiding light
II hath led tho ireemen forth to stand
In the mountain-battles Of his land
It hath brought the wandercro o'er the seas,
TO do on the hills OF his owh fresh breeze
And back to the gates of his father hall,
II hath won the weeping prodgal
Yes when thy heart in itsprdc would stray =,
From the loves Of its guileless youth away;
When the sullying breath Of the world will
come
Der the flowers it brot from its childhood 5
tome
Think thou again of the woody glade,
Md tho sound by the rustling ivy made,
Think Of the tree at thy parents door,
hnd the kindly spell shall have power once
more.

and thoughthe woman Of masculine un-
derstanding, and great conversational pow
ers, and strong natural good sense--but
not altogether the wife for Lord Byron.
She showed her admirable sense Of propri.
ETY. by the seclusion TO which she consign-
ed herself, and the dignified silence she
nviolably maintained respecting what may
be termed "heI case" | believe, TO her
most intimate associates Lady Byron new

luded, in the most casual manner, 10 her
own peculiar situation. On the contrary,
she appeared stIdiousy 10 avoid all refer
ence to the subject. Her daughter Ada
Byron, to whom such touching interest at
taches, strongly resembles her gifted fa-
ther. There is in particular, an expression
about the mouth curl, when she is dis
pleased, in her youthful lip; fire and
ferte IN her eye-whlch those who had ev-
er an opportunity Of watching the poets
features in a moment Of irritation, would
instantly recognize.-The likeness is sim
gularly striking. Ii is hardly fair TO Judge
OF her at such tender years; but thought
discovered germs Of talent, and--shall /
add, a spice Of Lord Byron's disposition
large leayen eli self Indulgence and self
will. Lady Byron was passionately attach
ed to her, and paid the most vigilant atten-
ton to those grand essentials in woman's
happiness; temper and disposition. There
was one thing in particular which struck
me very forcibly. 1t is q rule worthy the
adoption Of every mother. | had dined a
lone with Sir Ralph and herself, little Ada
was with us at tea; but at its conclusion,
Lady Byron rose and said, 4" You must ex.
cuse me | always give an hour to my
daughter every night, before she goes to
bed, when we talk over the events Of the
day. find it by far the best hour in the
"A for affecting and correcting the heart !"
If she Wds "learned" and mathematical" !"
most assuredly 1t never appeared in her
conversation. Il was that, and that only,
Of highly accomplished and very well in.
formed woman. An incident occurred-l
don't choose to diYulgc (which was per
'eCtly conclusive to my mind that Lady By
ron was still londly attached to him. And
from the accounts of others who knew the
facts, am thoroughly satisfied that Lord
and Lady Byron might have been living
together at tins very hour, had life been
spared, but for the intervention OF third
person. Lady Noel merer coUid endure
him and the feeling was reciprocal. She
-Hos perpetually haunted by the idea that
his Lordship was an uniaiIh!ul husband.
On the other hand, he never spared her !;
and, unhappiy, Lady Noeps temper and
lnguarded expression afforded ample scope
ior the most biting satire and caustic irony.
Whatever his Lordship might have been
previous to his marriage, or since the sepa
ration. in the particular instance so contn.

ed. have reason to believe, though no,
from her own lips, that Lady Byron now
