THE VOYAGE OF LIFE.

All! what is man ? A FIRING pilgrim here,
A tray'ler in this world of sin and woe;
An unskird mariner on lIfe's rough sea,
Through life eXpos'd to all the storms that blow
Temptation deck'd with his allurng sails,
And iRexperiepce smiling takes the helm;
Decisive hopes breathe an unovely gale,
And crowding disappointments overwhelm.
Wreck'd on dismal rocks of deep remorse,
Naked, and lone, he gains dreary strand,
Where sad repentance holds her crowded court,
And sick ming horror takes him by the hand.
False hope and dire dismay commence their strife,
Confls'd he gazes round in wild dispair,
Looks back upon his needless voyage of life,
And curses all those fates that brought him there.
Then shall he die, and sink beneath his load
Ofslame, and guilt and cumbrous freight Of woe
Is there no voice to cheer his drear abode,
No plying hand to stay the awful blow!
Yes, there is One o wanderer turn and seek,
Accept the profferd blessings of thy God
His blood shall wash thy cares and stains away,
His arm Of mercy break the scourging rod.

to fill the air. The winds began to swell on

IMMORTALITY AND ETERNITY
Should one as swift as lightning fly,
Through yonder light cerulean sky,
And quick as thought arrive as far
As yonder dimmest milky star;
With equal speed set out anew,
Some other galaxy to view;
Millions of suns should he pass by,
And millions more should he descry;
And TO increase tn amazing sum,
Go on to ad infnitum:
How short the longest time would be
Compar'd to vast immensely;
A diamonds point he would traverse,
Compar'd with Gods whole universe
Ifone could count the grains ofsand,
On every shore, in every land,
And every grain of dust that flies
Around the earth aud thro' the skies;
Call every grain ten thousand years,
How infinite the sum appears:
What would the awful total be,
Compar'd with vast eternity!

EXPRESSION.

Composed for a Lady's Album.
GLOW wonderful are the changes-how endless tn,
arlations, the expressions of the eye, that seem Il
We only when influenced by the mind"
There is an eye of changeess hue,
So passionless, its beauties tire,
Tho brightest hazel, black or blue,
Beams not with intellectual fire,
With one unmeaning steady gaze,
No light of feeling makes 1t blaze.
There is an eye that's scornful too,
And one that sparkles to deceive,
Whose sweetest chances are moi true,
And woe to him who does believe,
For oft it wears the faisest dress,
And rolls and smiles in loneliness.
But mark that bright expressive eye,
Where truth and virtue are comblnedi
That with deeper, loveiIer dye
Pourtrays the feelings of the mind,
Oh, such an eye without control,
Will speak The language of the soul.
1t has a language al its own,
Tho lips move not to form sound,
1t is the seat of beauty's throne,
Where loves, and graces, sport around;
Expressive meaning there combnd,
1t lives when influenced by the mind.
love to view its playful glance,
When rosy mirth beams Ger the face,
When clust'ringj joys around it dance,
1t smiles with peculiar grace,
For thrilling bliss is nigh,
When pleasure sparkles in that eye
Oh yes, when pleasure fills the mind,
And bliss is felt without alloy,
With real happiness combin'd,
1t sparkles with excess oijoy;
Or when genius burns too bright,
1t flashes forth electric light.
When tenderness that bosom thrills,
And true the dreams which fancy wove,
How pure the balm the eye dstiIs
In iustrous languishment ofloye;
4 balm that heals all care and strife,
And sweetly minges bliss with life.
When grief aud sorrow hover Der
The aching heart, in awful CAIN,
When dearest friends are seen no more,
And tears their memory embalm,
The weeping eye then speaks, tho faded,
Fond friendship is by sorrow shaded.
And Oh! when meek religion shines,
When pure devotion warns the heart,
more real worth than midas mines,
Or wealth of empires could impart,)
Forth from that placid eye is found
A holy radiance beaming round.

MORAL TALES. We refer our readers, par
ticularly our fair ones, to two moral tales,
which will be found on our last page, with an
assurance that the perusal of them will afford
much qualification. They are from the pen of
our fair friend and townswoman, Mrs. Harriet
Muzzy, lady, who through life, as is too of
ten tho fate of genius, has had to contend with
the hard hand Of cruel and adverse fortune
Mrs. Muzzy may be ranked among the best of
American writer's, and he- poetical productions
are not inferior to those which have been Civ
en- the world by Miss Landon and Mrs. He
mans.
For many years Mrs. Muzzy resided in New
York, where she supported herself by keeping
a boarding school, but as her habtation was
too often the abiding place of sorrow and
afiliction, she did not succeed so well as she
could have anticipated, or as her friends could
have wished. Very recently, she has become
connected with that very popular periodical
publication, the Philadelphia Album, and be-
ing thus located, VIC hope that happier for
tune will attend her

FOREIGN MISSIONS. The Editor Of the
Warren Star,-who by the way is young gen.
tleman of very happy lents,-has, since he
has had the management Of that paper, evinc-
cd degree Of manlness and independence
which cannot fail to secure to him the good
opinion Of the world; and we have noticed that
he has dared to oppose the ridiculous practice
Of getting up Crusades to cbristianizc the
inhabitants Of the remoter regions of Asia
The last Star, contains a we'll written article
on the subject, which we recommend all to
read, who may have felt at all curious relative
to the "business matter" Of which it treats
BY this opposing Foreign Missions, :hc Editor
of the Star, shows his good sense, and proves
that he is not to be inundated by tic puritan
ical frowns of a few fanatics and misguided
zcalots.--we hope that he will 60 on, and
lend his aid in putting an end to projects,
which are too often conceived in mistaken zeal,
and carried into execution, by the designing,
at the expense of the pockets, and crcdulity of
the public.
