or late, there has been considerable dis

OF encouraging West Point Academy, and the
press has of course taken up the SUBJECT. A
writer IN the Hartford Times, has taken hold
of the business, with determination to put
quietus to the Academy, and in Justice to him,
we mnst say, that he writes with case, and ad-

having succeeded in finding the g organ Of

were just beginning to amuse themselves in
making poor dead man kick and grin. and
roll his eyes, and swing his arms about like
another Mollineaux or Tom Crib. Nor. by

prematurely, first into coffin, and next into

ANEcDoTE-THE ROGUE oUTwITTED.
A person lately went to dealer in wool to
purchase about twenty pounds of that arti-
Gle, carrying, as is usual, a sack to put it in.
When the sack was filed, the steelyards
we're not at hand to weigh it. The dealer
Immediately wentin pursuit of them. While
he was gone, his customer looked with an
evil eye upon a lot of fine cheese in the same
room with the wool, and hastily put one Of
the finest, weighing nearly twenty pounds,
in his sack, mixing it up with the wool as
tanned valuable prize. On his return, the
dealer quickly perceived by the weight Of
the sack, that his honest friend had put a
cheese there. He said nothing, but quietly
weighed it. His customer said nothing, and
as quietly paid him fifty cents pound fol
his cheese under the denomination of wool

drowsiness came over me, and fell into a

FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY.
GREECE

Land of the Suliote, whose name
Is heard on every freemans tongue,
whose ancient glory, ancient fame,
Whose present bondage, present shame,
Have been by every poet sung.
1 Degraded Greece there was a time
When freedoms banner proudly waved
Unstaned throughout thy sunny cline,
Whose high born sons, unlearned.in crime,
/ Knew not to be enslaved
There was time, when, in thy halls, 81
/ Fair Science plumed her nursing wings,
/ When massive towers with echoing walls, "
Were lighted up for festivals
And joyous reTelngs.
time, wheE every nations eyes
We're turned, admiring, to thy shore,
To mark with envious surprise
Thy poets, patriots, and thy wise
In legislative lore.
The scene is chang'd-the Greek commands
That flag of liberty no more,
Science has flown to other lands,
The arts nave fallen from their hands,
The Olympic games are DER.
Decay is clinging round those towers,
Where learning dwelt, with chilling hands,
Where beauty walk'd in summer hours,
Meath waving trees and rosy bowers,
a guarded fortress stands
The Greek has fall'n, the Spartan's blood
Slumbers with those on Marathon,
The fire that burned where egions stood
On Leuctra and pour'd out the flood
Oflife, is quench'd and gone
Where Art and Learning made their homes.
Grim desolation reigns,
And fallen like their ancient domes,
The Athenian, the Thessaian roams,
A slave to Moslem chains
But bark, DER high Olympus brow,
deep, prophetic echo springs,
And tyranny, with covering brow
Startles at freedoms warning vow,
And curls his iron wings.
Greece has reused from her dreamless SPELL.
To struggle for her former pride
And even now her bards may tell
How, patriot like, Canaris fell,
Or brave Bozzaris died.
Lo, mid ten thousand sabres bright
Is heard clarion trumpet's peal,
Ten thousand helmets mock the sight,
And ta!chions glitter in the light
lis Russia draws her steel.
Degraded land, flag shall wave
Above thee as in days gone by,
When thou vert brayest of the brave,
Ere Liberty had found grave
Beneath the Egian sky.
Days still shall come when thou wilt stand
On freedoms lasting resting place,
Unshackled by despots band,
A mighty, an immortal land,
Thy sons glorious race.

THE WARRIOR.

A gallant form is passing by,
The plume bends Ter his lordIy brow:
A thousand tongues have raised on high
His song of triumph now.
Young knees are bending round his way.
And age makes bare his locks of gray
Fair forms have lent their gladdest smile,
White hands have waved the conqueror on,
And flowers have decked his path the while,
By gentle fingers strown.
Soft tones have cheer'd him, and the brow
Ofb;auty beams uncovered now.
The bard hath walked the song for him.
And pour'd his boldest numbers forth
The wine cup sparkling to the brim
Add phrenzy to the mirth;
And every tongue, and every eye,
Does homage to the passer by.
The gallant steed treads proudly on,
His foot falls firmly now, as when
In strife that iron heel went down
Upon the hearts of men;
And foremost in the ranks of strife,
Trod out the last dim spark of life.
Dream they Of these-the glad and gay,
That bend around the conqueror's path
The horrors of the confiict-day-
The gloomy field of death
The ghastlv slain--the severed head
The raven STOPPING DER the dead.
Dark thoughts and fearful! yet they bring
No terrors to the triumph hour,
Nor stay the reckless worshipping
Ofblended crime aud power
The fair Of form, the mild of mood,
Do honor to the man of blood
Men-Christans pause-the air We breathe
Is poison'd by your idol now
And will We turn to him, and wreath
Your .chaplets round his brow
Nay, call his darkest deeds Sublime,
And smile assent to giant crime
Forbid it, heaven Ia voice hath gone
In mildness and in meekness forth,
flushing before its silvery tone,
The stormy things Of earth;
And whispering sweetly through the gloom
An earnest Of the pence 10 come.
