OE LADH WHOSE NAME WAS LIGHT.
Light was the maid, in light arrayed,
For light to her was given;
From light she flew, and lightly too,
She II light again in Heaven.
No northern light .was e'er so bright,
No light could e'er be brighter
her light drawn sigh passed lightly by,
As light as air and lighter.
The lights divine, that lightly shine,
In yonder ight-ened skies,
Can ne'er excel the light that fell,
Like lightning from her eyes.
She lightly mov'd, by all BELOVED,
A light and fairy elf;
Light was her frame and Light her name,
For she was light itself.

Yes. dear one, to the envied train
OF those around, thy moments pay;
But wilt thou never kindly deign
To think of him that's far away.
Thy form, thine eye. thine angel smile,
For weary years may not see;
But wilt thou not, sometimes the while,
My sister, dear, remember mes
But not in fashions brilliant hall,
surrounded by the gay and fair,
And thou, the fairest of them all,
Oh think not, think not of me there.
But when the thoughtless crowd is gone,
And hush'd the voice of senssless glee,
And all is silent, still and lone,
And thou art sad, remember me.
Remember me--but loveliest ne'er
When in his orbit fair and high,
The mornings glowing charioteer
Rides proudly up the biushing sky;
But when tho waning moonbeams sleep,
At midnight on the lonely sea,
And natures pensive spirit weeps
La all her dews, remember me.
Remember me, pray-but not
In Flora's gay and blooming hour,
When every brake has found its note,
And sunshine smiles in every flower.
But when the falling leaf is scar,
And withers sadly from the tree,
And DER the ruins of the year
Cold autumn sighs-remember me.
Remember me-but choose not, dear,
The hour, when on the gentle lake
Tho snnrtiva xx,a x,eiafs hI,,a apd c1nar
Soft ripping to the margin break;
But when the deafening pillows foam
In madness or the painless sea,
Then let thy pilgrim fancy roam
Across them, and remember me.
Remember me-5ut not to join,
If, haply, some thy friend should praise,
It's far too dear that voice of thine,
To echo what the stranger says:
They know us not-but should ct thou NEE
Some faithful friend Of thee and me,
Softly sometimes to him repeat
My name-and then remember me.
Remember me, not, entreat,
In scenes of festal weekday Joy,
For then it were not kind and meet
My thought the pleasure should alloy;
But on the sacred, solemn day,
And dearest, on the Bonded knee
When thou for those thou lov'st, dost pra,
Sweet spirit, then remember me.
Remember me-but not as
On thee for ever, ever dwell,
With anxious heart and dropping eye,
And doubts 'twould grieve thee shoul
tell
But in thy calm, unclouded heart,
Whence dark and gloomy visions flee,
Oh there, my sister, bear my part,
And kindly then remember me.

The Dedantic bigotry,f with which Columbus
had TO contend, Throughout, the examination OF
h;s ,beo,y Can we wonder Al the difficulties
and DELAYS, which he experienced at Courts,
when such vague and crude notions were en-.
,ertained by the learned men oil university:
We must not suppose howerer,oecause me Cd
iectious here cited are all which remain on re-
cord, ,ha, they are all which we're advance ed.
these only have been..berpelua,ed on account oi
their SUPERIOR absurdity. They were proba-
bIy advanced by but few, and those persons
immersed in theological studies, III cioislered
retiremen,; whrre the erroneous opinions ce-
rived from books, had little opportunity vi
being corrected by the experience OF Inc Gay.
There were, no doubt, objections ADVANCED
more cogent in their nature, and more worthy
Of that distinguished university. II IS out US
tice to add, also, that t he replies OF Columbus
had great wcigu with many OF his learned ex-
amners In answer 10 the scripturai ooJec-
lion, he submitted, that the inspired wil'ers
were not speaking Technically, as cosmogra-
pliers but 6gurnlively, in language addressed
to all compfeheusions. The commentaries OF
the fathers he treated with Difference, as pious
homilies, but not as philosophical propositions,
which il was necessary either to ADM, or re-
flute. The objections Grawn from arcien, PHI
losophprs, he met boldly aud ably upon equal
terms; for he was deeply studied on all points
OF cosmography. He showed that the most
illuStrious Of these sages believed both hemls-
pheres to be inhabitablr, though they imagln-
ed ,ha, The torrid zone precluded communities
ZION; and he obviated, conclusively, shat difi>
Guilty; for he had yoyagcd 20 81. George la
Minis, in Guinea, almost under the equinoctlal
line, and had found that region not merely ira
versatile, but Astounding in population, in fruits,
and pasturage.
When Columbus took MS stand before this
learned body, he had appeared the plain and
s,mpie navigator, somewhat daunted, rhaps,
by the greatness of his task, aud The august
nature ef his auditors. But he had a degree
Of supertilious feeling, which gave him con"
idence in the execution Of what he conceive ed
his great GRAND; and he was of an ardent tenn
era ment that be anne he ated in action by It's
own generous fires. Las Casas, and others OF
his contemporaries have spoken Of his COM
handing person, MS elevated demcanour, his
air Of authority, his kiRdling eye, and the per-
suasive in,onauons Of his voice. How must
they have gwen majesty and force to his
words, as casting aside his maps and charts,
and dscarding, for time, his practical and
scientific lore, his visionary spirit took hire a:
the doctrinal objections OF his opponents. aud
he met them npon their own ground, pour>
ing forth those magnificent texts Of scrip
,ure, and those mysterious predictions oil the
prophets; which IN his enthusiastic moments,
he considered as types and anunciations oil the
sublime discovery which he proposed.
