sAPPHU AT HER LOOM.
Ru T. Moore. Esq.


As o'er her loom the Lcsbian maid,
In loves sick languor hung her head,
Unknowing where hof fingers strayed
She weeping turned away and said
Oh my sweet mother tis In vain,
l cannot weave a. once woss,
So wilhered in my heart and brain,
By thinking ofthat youth love.
Again the web she tried TO trace
Bat tears fen DER zach tangled thread,
Wbsn looking in her mothers face
Who DER her watchful, leaned, said--
oh my sweet mother 'tis In vain,
cannot weave a. once ! wovs,
So wiIdered is my heart and brain,
BY thinking Of fthat youth I love.

looked over boundless surface, where
not a single tree intercepted the prospect
or relieved that monotony. He strained
his vision forward, but the plain was
boundless, making the curved line of its
profile on the far distant horizon. The
effect was rendered more striking by the

that has been she'd. The commissioners sent by
the Diet, NJ. Maornbourg Of Schatfhausen' and
NJ. Steiger, of Lucerne, have been Insnlted ~

The same journal contains the following from
Berne:
..The Chancellor of the State has just pub
Iished two builstins-One announcing the leap
ture of Kussnacht, and the defeat OF the citi-
zens of Basic. and the other proclaimlng that, D.!

occupation Of the town and country OF Basic 6y
the Federal corps had been ordained. 1t IS also
expected that the same measure will be adopted
with regard to the town Of Schweitz, which IS
the seat Of the Conference Of Sarneu."
The French papers Of Sunday, llth August
give further accounts from Basic, according to
which the inhabitants of the country had pushed
their advance guard to the very walls OF the cl-
ty, where the greatest uneasiness consequently
prevailed. The federal Commissaries had ar.
rived, and it was hoped that their presence would
