FROM THE ssPASsAGE OF THE SEA-"
BY MR. PARTICLE.

Sc Dost thou remember, - said an ancient man,
Communing with his fellow, Z" on that night
When the Death Angel passed, how the heart hung
In silent breathlessness and cold hands grasped
In speeches. terror, and wild garing eyes
Alone revealed the agony of fear!
Dost thou remember what awful light
Flashed round US when he turned his seraph eye,
And saw the sign Of our redemption-blood
Of spotess lamb upon our lntels cast'
And the front pillars Of our dwellings now
Methinks twas very terribe Through all
Our chosen habitations not sound
of life was heard while flew in dazzling light
The dread Destroyer, and his mighty wings
Rushed like samel hurricane; none dared
Whisper his thought or move from out his place,
While every eye spake horror and flashed forth
The drowning funess of the o'erfraught heart,
Till rose DER Memphis the loud cry of death,
The wall of desoaton and despair;
Then deep breath-a quick convusve start
Told that our dread delverance was achieved
There was a revel in the Egyptian camp
Amid these scenes; and golden goblets, brimmed
With wine passed gaily round, and voices rose
In martial merrment; proud Pharaoh scofed
At his past terrors and his chiefs replied
With adulaton to their monarchs mrh;
And, in quaint jest and bitter mockery,
He poroned out the Hebrews future fate,
With true regardance of their veal and all
Laughed and cried loud" For ever live, Kingn'
" Trust not in armor' said voice that shook
Earth to its centre; put thy harness off
As thou ddst grid it on!''--Each chief stood mute
And Pharaoh's brow grew numb and cold as death
And silence slumbered in the banquet tent.

THE FALSE MAID.

She is born of noble stem,
Farer than the fairest gem
Which upon her robe doth shine,
Graceful, beautiful, divine.
What avails il all to me'
She is false as false can be!
She has eyes like damsons black,
Shining like the comets track;
Mouth of MISUNDERSTANDING glance
Heaven is in Der countenance.
What avails it all to me
She is false as false can be!
Neck of alabaster, lips
Crimson roses to eclipse,
Chin Of marbles smoothest glow,
Shoulders piled Of purest snow.
What avails it all TO me-
She is false as false can be!
Fair when distant, fair when near,
Fair her smile, and fair her tear;
Fair when bending, fair erect
Unadorn'd, or gem bedeck'd.
What avails it all to me
She is false as false can be-.

And child its wild wandering ways;

And to husband the rest of its days:
bade it no longer admire
The meteors which fancy had dress'd;
whispered twas time TO retire,
And seek for Mansion of Rest.
A charmer was listening the while,
Who caught up the tone of my lay;
!" o come them" she cried, with smile.
''And III show you the place and the way
FOLLOWED the witch to her home,
And vow'd to be always her guest;

In search of the Mansion Of Rest
But the sweetest Of moments will fly,
Not long was my fancy beguilcd;
For too soon confessed, with sigh,
That the syren deceived while she smiled,

SACRED MELODY.
BY A. A. WATTS.

BY A. A. WATTS.
There is a thought can lift the soul,
Above the dull cold sphere that bounds it,
star that sheds its inld control
Brightest when grief's dark cloud surrounds it,
And pours soft pervadng ray,
Life's ills may never chase away!
When earthly joys have left the breast,
And cen the last fond hope it CHERISHED
of mortal bliss-too like the rest
Beneath woes whitening touch hath perish'd,
With fadeless lustre streams that light,
A halo on the brow of night q
And bitter were our sojourn here
In this dark wilderness of sorrow,
Did not that rainbow beam appear,
The herald of brighter morrow,
A gracious beacon from on high
To guide us to Eternity!
The Delaware register, or, Farmers', manufacturers' & mechanics' advocate. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1828-1829, 1828-11-22

Deep, deep, did she stab the repose
OF my trusting and unwary breast,
And the door of each avenue close,
That led to the Mansion of Rest
Then Friendship enticed me TO stray
Through the long magic wilds of Romance;
But found that she meant to betray,
And shrunk from the sorcerer's glance.
For experience has taught me to know,
That the soul that recned on her breast,
Might toss on the pillows of woe,
And meier find the Mansion of Rest.
Pleasures path determined to try,
But Prudence met in the way;
Conviction fash'd light from her eye,
And appear'd to illumine my day:
She cried-as she show'd me grave,
With nettles and wild flowers dressed,
Der which the dark cypress did wave,
Behold there the Mansion of Rest"
She spoke-and half vanished in air,
For she saw mild Religion appear
With smile that would Danish despair,
And dry up the penitent tear.
Doubts and fears from my bosom were driven,
And, pressing the cross to her breast,
And pointing serenely to Heaven,
She show'd the true Mansion of Rest.

TO THE MEMORY OF LORD BYRON.

The following nes pen peasant Ayr the
tive county OF Robert Burns
The harp Of the minstrel is hung in the hall,
And his fleeing existence is o'er
And still are its strings, as it sleeps on the wall,
Like the fingers that swept 1t before.
His eye, bright, has been robb'd of its fire
His bosom, wild as the wave,
Which the shrl note of Lbery's trump could inspire,
Or the heart-thrilng tones of the well swept lyre
Is silent and still as the grave.
'tHe had evil within hm''-we see the dark shade
When his bosom's deep secrets scan;
Yet his arm was still lifted the freeman to aid,
And his deeds shed lustre on
If the dark cloud of hate DER his bosom did lowr,
If he wish'd to the desert to flee,
He was only the foe of the minon of pow'r,
Who, fend-like, stalks over the earth for an hour,
But ever the friend OF the free.
The soft scenes of Nature for him had charms,
The rivlet and fast-fadng how'r
Awak d not his soul like the horrid alarms
When nation is wreck in an hour.
In the dark sweeping storm by 0mnpotence driv'n,
In the flash and the long pealmg roll,
In the rocking of earth, IN the ro"nlng OF heav'n,
When the pillars of Nature trembling and riy'n,
Twas beam OF delight to his soul
As he WANDERED, Oh, Greece DER thy once-hallow',
ground,
And stood OIL the warriors grave,
He heard but the voice of oppression around,
And but the home of the slave
As he gaz' through the vista of ages gone by,
In the glory and pride of the world,--
As he gaz'd on the ruins that round MIN did lie,
II drew from his bosom sorrowfu sigh,
Where Tyranny's flag was unfurd.
He tun'd his wild harp Ger the ruins of Greece,
His strains impassoned and strong,
They soaced his heart like seraph of Peace,
While her freedom arose with his song.
And when the bright sun of their freedom arose,
His heart full of rapture ador'd,
The morning had dawnd Oh their fatal repose,
Their snbers broken, they Tush'd their foes
To SILVER the chains they abhorr'd
Did he fall in the Struggle when Greece would be free?
Twas blotted their shore,
But his holerms spirit yet triumphs with thee,
Though his brave arm can aid thee more.
He expired as tie loren of thy glory grew bright,
In the glorious of his day;
His triumph was snort, Ike the meteor of night,
AS it flashes DER heav'n with ITS long train of ght9-
For, like it, he vanshd away.
You have the bright summers sink in the west
And the glories that shrouded him there,
Like the spedors that dwell the heavn of the best
Immortal, IN 'nuded, and fair
So the halo Of glory shall circle his name,
His wreath shall eternally bloom,
And Britain, triumphant, her Byron shall claim,
As he shines with the great IN the temple Of Fame,
The triumph of man DER the tomb!

'This obstinate and equal division of twenty men,

brought about by three persons, chosen from sus'

candidate, and voting for himself We do not recoi'
