HEARTS, EASE.


Seek not for me in tbs lighted halls
Mine IS garland for festivals
Look not tor me IN the wreaths they twine
R"und urnS OF perfume and cups Of vine
Though torn away from my forest lair
To deck heIr banquets--i perish there.
Meath heated lip and the flashing eye,
snlle-5ut sniling-I die die.
And some come there, with their checks Of bloom
Like roses "reathed round marble tomb.
Or the soft pink tnts in Indian she'll,
LIT with the blush of the suns arewell-
With locks, like the first light clouds at dawn
With the dreamy gaze of the woodland fawn,
They to seek Alas for all
Who seek ''Heart's Ease" in the masquinc hail.
The feast and the feaster have past away
The lamps winking in mornings ray
And the wthered chapltts hang idly down
And the mirror is IN ckiug its faded crown
And Mcy that stood midst the festal cheer,
Like the wounded palm or the stricken deer
With their strange bright and their fatal blooa,
Have passed from the reve away--to the tomb
They found me-thes found me-but all too late
Young Hope had died in the grasp of Fate
The bloom had hed, ike the las, bright streak
In the burning west, from the bIishted cheek
And the pad taper-and holy hymn,
We're there for rite and reQuem-
And graspcd IN their cold white fingers lay
"ueart's Fase"-Oh, how calm were those hearts
that day.
Oh, seek ye for me-seek yc for me
In the bowery shade Of the forest tree,
Where the far-off tones of the hunters horn
Rouse MT the hare from its rest at morn,
Where the joyous brook slldes laughing by.
Feeding the echoes with melody
And the lilies like Brailnins at cventide,
Are bent as III worship, its streams beside
| Oh, seek ye for me-seek ye for me,
| Where the summer birds love mos. to be-
And the worn out breeze with fee bic Sigh
| Comes Of, Ike a love SICK YOUTH to die
And gathered the old oak boughs among
| The white wood-doves-lk ike a vestal hronq
| In some ancient clolser all dark and dim
Are lifting TO Heaven their evening hymn
| Oh, seek ye for me--seek We for me
In The morning track OF the joyous bee
| Follow the streamlet through wood and glen
I Follow the gow-w oruI-you'll find me then
For loves to roam through bowers at night,
| And wave over blossoms rs elhn light
! Meet guide for such as would setk for ne
| In the calm of my forest sanctuary,
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1828-05-03

SPECULATION.

Flour is now quoted in Baltimore, Phila-

it is thus high. does not seem to be distinctly
known. or agreed upon. Al one time we are
told that the ports are open IN England"
for the admission of grain but if we UNDER
stand the subject, the ports there are always
open. subject however to duties which very
nearly equal the market value Ofthe produce.
This duty is graduated by the price of -four
in the English market. 1.-THE price be 81 the
barrel. the duty is about S4,-but il the price
should be ST. the duty is DULY 81 cents. No
indication is given by late arrivals, as far as
profit by giving $40 for the article here, and
paying the insurance and freight to England.
At another time we are told that The Canada
markets must be supplied from the States. as

telligence from that Province states that large
shipments have recently been made from
their ports, to lees slatted markets elsew here.

A TRUE STATEMENT.

About a year ago helped man home
who was completely intoxicated. He was
then church member, and such was his ap-
parent sorrow that | pi,ird him from my
heart. Not long after Imet him in company,
and we insisted upon his promising to relin-
quish forever the use of ardent spirits. Bit
to use his own words, ''it looked like IA great
thing to make such a promise; aud it APP
peared to him that no man ought to make
such a promise; as he was satisfied that ar
dent spirits were necessary sometimes" OF
course al! our reasoning avaiIed nothing. The
result was such as might have been expected
A short time since helped bin out OF the
road. But what were his feelings now IL
want none of your help. care not who
sees me. can take care Of myself" After
a time he recovered and went heme---nOt TO
sorrow but to abuse the wife Of his bosom
il such manner that the neighbOrs were o.
bIiged to go and watch until his reason was
more perfectly restored. Christian profess
sor, if you covet such honor, go and do like
