POETRY.
THE WORLD IN THE OPEN AIR.
BIZ MRS. HEMASs.

SCI have learned
To look on Nature, not as in the hour
OF thoughtless youth, bu, hearing oftentimes
The still sad music of humanity
Not harsh nor grating, though of ample power
To chasten and subdue." [Uordsworth.
Come, while in freshness and dew i, lies,
To the world that is under the free blue skies
Leave We mans home, and forget his care
There breathes no signs on the day springs air.
Come to the woods in whose messy des
light all made for the poet dwells;
light colored softly by tender leaves
Whence the primrose mellower glow receives.
The stock-dove is there on the beechen-tree
And the lullng tone of the hummng bee;
And the voice Of cool waters midst feathery fern
Shedding sweet sounds from some hidden urn
There is life. there is youth, there is tmeless mirth
Where the streams, with the lilies they wear have
birth;
There is peace where the alders are whispering
low;
Come from mems dwellings, with all their wo!
Yes! we will conceive will leave behind
The homes and sorrows of human kind
1t is well TO rove where the river leads
Its bright blue vein along sunny meads.
1t is we'll through the rich wild woods to CO.
And to pierce the haunts of the fawn and doe
And to hear the gushing of gentle springs,
When the heart has been fretted by worldly stings
And to watch the colors that fit and pass
With insect, wings through the wavy grass;
And the svery CLEAN DER the ash-tree's bark
Borne in with breeze through the foliage dark
Joyous and far shall our wanderngs be,
AS the flight of the birds DER the wandering sea;
To the woods, to the dngles, where violets flow,
We will bear memory of earthly wo
But il, by the forest brook, we meet
line like the pathway of former feet;
If, midst the hills in some lonely spot,
We reach the gray ruins of tower or cot
If the cell where hermit of old hath prayed
Lift up its cross through the solemn shade;
Or if some nook, where the wild flowers wave,
Bear token sad of mortal grave
Doubt not but there will our steps be stayed,
There our quick spirits awhile delayed;
There will thought fix our impatient eyes,
And win back our hearts to their sympathies
For what, though the mountains and skies be fair,
STEPPED in soft hues of the summer air,
IT'S the soul Of man, by its hopes and dreams,
That light up all nature with living CLEANS;
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1827-10-20
IF THAT HIGH WORLD.

If that high world which lies beyond
Our own, surviving Love endears;
If there the CHERISHED heart be found
The eye the same, except in tears
How welcome those untrodden spheres,
How sweet this very hour to die
To soar from earth and find all fears
Lost in thy hght-Eternity
1t must be so; it's not for self
That we so tremble OH the brink
And striving to o'erleap the gulf,
Yet cling to Beings severing link.
Oh in that future let us think
To hold each heart the heart that shares
With them the immortal waters drink.
And soul in soul grow deathless theirs.
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1827-10-20
AN AUTUMNAL EVENING.

sky clear and serene, and nature that rich
and golden livery which we always associate with
the idea of abundance. The forest had put
their sober brown and yellow, while some trees of
the ,enderer kind had been npped by the frosts
into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet
Streaming files of wild ducks began to make their
appearance high in the air; the bark of the spur
rel might be heard from the groves of beech and
hickory nuts, and the pensive whistle of the quail
at intervals from the neighbourng stubble field
The small BIRDS taking their farewell ban
quets. In the fnlness oftheir rcvery they futter-
ed, chrping and froIickng, from bush to bush, and
tree to tree, capricous from the very profuson and
variety around them. There was the honest cock
robin, the favourlte game of stripping sportsmen,
with its loud queruous note; and the twittering
blackbirds flying in sable clouds and the golden
winged wood pecker, with his crimson crest, his
broad black gorget and splendid plumage; and
the cedar bird. with its red tpt wings and yellow
tip, tall and its little monteiro cap of feathers and
the blue jay, that noisy coxcomb in his gay light
blue coat and white under clothes, screaming and
chatterng, noddng, and bobbing, and bowling, and
pretending to be on terms with every songster of
the grove.
AS Ichabod logged slowly on his way, his eye,
ever open to every symptom of culinary abundance,
ranged with delight the treasures of jolly au-
tumn. On all sides he beheld vast store of apples,
some hanging in oppressive opulence on the trees,
gathered into baskets and barrels for the psar
ket, others heaped up in rich piles for the cider.
press. Further on he beheld great fields of Indian
corn, with its golden ears peeping from their leafy
coverts, and holding out the promise of cakes and
hasty pudding and the yellow pumpkins lying be-
meath them, turning up their fair round bellies to
the sun. and giving ample prospects of the most
luxurious pies; and anon he passed the fragrant
buckwheat fields, breathing the odour Of the bee
hive, and as he beheld them, soft anticipa,ions
stole over his mind of dainty slap jacks, well butter.
ed, and garnished with honey or treacle, by the de-
licate little dimpled hand of Katrina Van Tassel.
Thus feeding his mind with many sweet thoughts
and "suga7ed suppositions," he journeyed along
the sides Of range of hills which look out upon
some Of the goodllest scenes of the mighty Hudson
The sun gradually wheeled his broad disk down
into the west. The vide bosom of the Tappaan
Zee lay motionless and CLASSY, excepting tina. here
and there gentle undulation waved and prolonged
the blue shadow Of the distant mountain a few
amber clouds 1oated in the sky, without breath Of
air to move them. The horizon was Of fine pol
den tint, changing gradually into pure apple
green, and from that into deep blue of the mid
heaven, siantinp raw Inrered IN The ,roodv
