MARCH.

The stormy March IS come at last,
With wind and cloud and changing skies,
hear the rushing of the blast,
Int through the snowy valley flies.
All, passing few are they who speak,
Wild stormy month in praise Of thee;
Yet, though thy winds are loud and bleak,
Thou art a welcome month to me.
For thou, to northern lands again,
The glad and glorious sun dost bring,
And thou hast joined the gentle train,
And wear'st the gentle name Of Spring.
And in thy reign of blast and storm,
Smiles many long, bright, sunny day,
When the changed winds are soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the blue Of May,
Then sing aloud the gushing rs,
And the full springs from frost set free,
That, brightly leaping down the hills,
Are Just set out to meet the sea.
The years departing beauty hides
Of wintry storms the sullen threat;
But, in thy sternest frown, abides
A look Of kindly promise yet.
Thou bring'st the hope Of those calm skies,
And that soft time Of sunny showers,
When the wide bloom, on earth that lies,
Seems Of brighter world than ours.

THE PALM TREE.
By MRS. HEMANs.

BIZ MRS. HEMANs.
II wav'd not through an Eastern sky
Beside fount Of Araby;
II was not fann'd by southern breeze
In some green isle Of lndias seas.
Nor did its graceful shadow sleep
Ger stream Of Afric, lone and deep.
But far the exil'd Palm tree grew
Midst foliage Of no. kindred hue;
Thro' the laburnum's dropping gold
Rose the light shaft Of orient mould,
And Europe's violets, family sweet,
Purpled the moss beds at its feet
Strange look'd it there!-the willow stream'd
Where silvery waters near il gleam'd;
The lime-bough ur'd the honey bee
To murmur by the Deserts tree,
And shower Of snowy roses made
A lustre in its fan-like shade.
There came an eve Of icstal hours
Rich music 6'd that gardens bowers:
Lamps, that from Towering branches hung,
On sparks Of dew soft colours flung.
And bright forms canc' 'd-a fairy show
Under the blossoms to and fro.
But one, lone one, midst the tlrong,
Seem'd reckless all Of dance or song:
lie was youth Of dussy mien,
Whereon the Indian sun had been
OF crested brow, and long black hair
A stranger like the Palm tree, there.
And slowly. sadly moved his pumes,
Gllttering athwar the 1eafy glooms,
lie Pass'd the pale green olives by,
Nor won the cbesnut flower his eye,
But when to that sole Palm he came,
Then shot rapture through his frame!
To him, to him its rustngs spoke,
The silence of his soul it broke!
II WHISPERED Of his own bright isle,
That lit the ocean with smile;
Aye, to his ear that native tone
Had something Of the sea-wave's moan!
His mothers cabin home, that lay
Where feathery cocoas fring'd the bay;
The dashing Of his brethren's oar,
The conch-note heard along the shore;-
All through his wakening bosom swept.
lie clasp'd his country's Tree--and wept!
Oh! scorn him not 1.-The strength, whereby
The patriot girds himself to die,
Tn unconquerable power, which fills
The freeman battling on his hills
These have one fountain deep and clear
The same whence gush' d that child-like tear!
