A lonely Arab maid.
The deserts simple child,
Unskill'd in arts by which, It's said.
Mans love may be beguil'd,
Like some uprooted fiow'r am
Upon a river flung,
To float a little hour, then die
Unheeded, as ] sprung.
But if thy friendly hand
Should lift me from the tide,
And bear me to some distant land,
To bloom thy bosom's pride;
o, sooner from his darling rose
The nightingale shall roam,
Than disturb that hearts repose
Which love hath made my home.

ODE ON MECHANIC INSTITUTIONS.

When from the sacred garden driven,
Man fed before his Makers wrath,
An Angel left her place in Heaven,
And crossed the wanderers sinless path.
Twas Art! sweet Art! new radiance broke
Where her hight foot flew DER the ground;
And thus, with seraph voice, she spoke
"The curse blessing shall be found"
She led him through the trackless wild
Where noontide sun-beams never blazed;
The thistle shrunk-the harvest smiled,
And Nature gladdened as she gazed.
Earth's thousand tribes of living things,
All Arts command to him are given,
The village grows, the city springs,
And point their spires of faith to Heaven
He rends the oakland bids it ride,
To guard the shores its beauty graced;
He smlies the rock-upheaved, in pride,
See towers of strength and domes Of taste
Earth's teeming caves their wealth reveal
Fire bears his banner on the wave,
He bids the mortal poison heal,
And leaps triumphant Ger the grave.
He plucks the pearls that stud the deep,
Admirng Beautys lap to fill,
He breaks the stubborn marbles sleep,
And initiates his Makers skill.
With thoughts that Gil his glowing soul,
He bids the ore illume the page,
And, proudly scorning Times control.
Commences with an unborn age.
In fields Of air he writes his name,
Aud treads the chambers of the sky.
He reads the stars, and grasps the flame
That quivers round the throne on high.
In war renowned, in peace sublime,
He moves in greatness and in grace,
His power, subduing space and time,
Links realm TO realm. and race to race.

THE ATTORNEY TO HIS MISTRESS.

o, thou! bright image Of saint above,
Whose charms these soft sensations now impart,
BEHOLD how Cupid, the Court of Lope,
Has mark d his tUTit and seized upon my heart.
That heart, arrested by thy dazzling eyes,
No sounds raise, no melody can cheer;
But IN thy bosom imprisoned lies,
IFS may more fully, and at large appear.
And will YOU not take pity on its woes,
And hear the sad recital of its grief?
In some few words its case shall disclose,
Plead in ITS cause, and humbIy pray relief
O. beauteous mad with each perfection blept.
Who now engrossest all my tender care
Law not thy sad injunction ON my breast,
Bur fan the fame which thou hast klhded there
And here, / COZ nant, promise and agree,
No other maid my passion shall decoy,
All! no, I'll give and grant II all to thee,
To hare, hold, occupy, possess, enlGy
For oh! thy beauty with severe control,
Has brought its action against every sense,
And served it's sweet subp9na on my soul,
To which, alas! dare not make defence
Thus then, each comfort of my life is gone,
And every JOY in seqtestratioa lies,
But all released shall shortly be, by one
One beamng glance of thy refulgent eyes!
oh! they outve my sparkling siiDer sand.
More black than e. en- the ink daily spill;
Like my red ,oar thy blushing smiles expand,
Thy form! how far more stately than my QHin'
Like nv brief paper is thy bosom fair!
Where every soft persuasive feeling sports:
But with thy mind what other can compare
All! none indeed, il we believe reports
Thus, thus my tender passion mpar,
Hear them sole object Of my fond desire;
How thou hast ta'ea possession of my heart,
And with love s flan,beau set my soul on fire!
Oh! then no longer let it furious burn,
Nor rage destructive, through this tortured frame:
But OH do thou IN fond affection turn,
And ull in Hymen's rites The sacred flame!
Come let US now the obligation seal,
And the blest bond perform, fulfil, and keeps
Till age at last shall DER our senses steal,
And close eyes in everlasting sleep!
And when our lives short tenure shall he DER,
And DEATH with dread ho6ere shall appear,
In quiet peace, possession we'll restore, :,
Then fly TO Heaven hgh court and enter students tn

SWISS EVENING SHOUT OF THANKSGIVING.

9 the custom in Switzerland, for the Shepherd wi

J 10 excite the coolest heart to enthusiasm. Eve
nd rock echoes with the name of God. The pea

card at great distance. As the last rays Of the
he submits of the Alps, the sound dies away, leav
hrouded in darkness and silenceJ
stood where Alpine submits rear
Their snow-clad brows on high,
And guard, like proud giant band,
The home of Liberty.
Twas sunset, and the glowing west
Her gorgeous flag unroll'd;
And tower and crag, and lake and spire,
We're bath'd in floating gold.
What sound, upon the breath of eve.
Sweeps by from yonder vale!
Is il some fearless hunters note,
Borne wildly on the gale
Echoing from rocks upon whose height
Storm clouds alone repose,
And save the bounding Chamois' step,
Naught prints the eternal snows'
No-'tis louder, lofler strain!
Perhaps the invader comes,
And freedoms trumpet calls her sons
To battle for their homes.
For, wild ambition ruthless tide
Oft sweeps these lovely plains;
And hov'ring DER yon cloud-capt heights,
Dark desolation regns.
But, this is not the thrilling note
Which tells the approach of war;
Or horn, which hunter of the hills
Is winding from afar.
For, woman's silvery voice is heard,
And chiIdhood's lisping song;
While lofty tower and lowly cot
The exulting strains prolong
A boiler spell is with it breath'd,
Than even freedom knows;
its incense rises from the plains
Where peace and Joy repose.
And gratitude inspires the strain,
That bursts from every heart,
For power impaired from on high
To repel the foeman's dart
The mountains craggy sides and caves,
BY mortal foot untrod,
Wak'd into life by sunsets stream,
Repeat the name of God.
APPRAISED be the Lord 1.-THE holy theme
Rocks, lakes and caves prolong,
Until, with daylight's parting CLEAN,
1t softly dies along
And silence folds her shadowy wing
Above the peaceful land;
while, dimly rising mid the gloom,
Her mighty guardians stand.
