POETRY
soNG OF EMIGRATION.

by MRS. HEMANa,
There was heard a song on The Ginning sea,
a mingled breathing Of grief and glee,
Mans voice, unbrokcn BY signs, was there,
Filling with triumph the sunny air
Oi fresh green lands, and pastures now,
II sang, while the bark through the suges flow.
But ever and anon
And murmr Of farewell
Told, by its piaintivc tone
That from woman's lip II fell,
oAway, away DER the foaming main,'
This was the free and the Joyous strain
There are dcarer skies than ours, afar,
We will shape course by brighter star;
There are plains whose vcrdure no foot hath pass
Aud whose wealth is all for the first brave guest
"But alasl that we should 70"
Sang them farewell voices then
"From the homestead, warm and low,
BY The brook and Ia the elem
1--WE will rear new homes under trees that glow,
A. il gems were the fruitage Of every bought
Der our white walls we will train The vine,
And sit IN It's shadow at dag S decline;
And watch our herds, as they range at will
Through Che green sayannas, all bright and stll.
"But woe for that sweet shade
Of the Towering orchard trees,
Where first children play'd
Midst the birds and honey bccsw
GAN, all our own shall the forests be,
A. 10 the bound Of the roc-b buck ireel
lNuhC shdI say 'Iiithcf, no Ilffnel pass
We will track each step through the wayy grass;
We will chase the elk IN his speed and might
And bring proud spols TO the hearts at night"
"But, oh, the grey church tower,
Aud the sound Of the Sabbath bell
And the sbelter'd garden bower
We have bid them all farcwelln'
owe will give the names Of our fearless race
10 each bright river whose course we trace;
We will leave our memory with mounts and floods
y he no 1fD HsrtV -
and Cur works unto many lakes green shore,
Where the Indians grove lay alone, before
"Rut who shall teach the flowers,
Whicls our children loved, TO dwell
In a soil that is not ours
Home, home aud friends, farewell,

Curious effects Of Lightniag.-Wc
learn from Waltham, that during q Sc
we're thunder storm on Monday the 9Th
inst, in the forenoon, Waltham factory
was struck with lightning. The fluid
passed down the rod of the small Gacto-
ny until it reached the part of the roof
10 which the forcing pump is attached.
1t then separated, portion of it pass
ing through the root, making quite a
hole in the pump pipe. Another por-
lion passed along the roof till it had
reached the dressing room, where the
copper pipe was resting almost upon
ihe glass; it passed through the win
dow, breaking ten panes of glass, and
melting the end Of the pipe, the remain
der Of the charge passing into the
ground near the picker. There is a
pipe which leads from the forcing pump
at the bottom into the size room, to
convey water, and another that leads
from the boiler in a wooden box under
ground, to the large mill, TO convey
steam; this pipe ends near the furnace.
As the fluid passed down the pump pipe,
1t struck the boiler, and knocked off
some of the bricks-passed along the
steam pipe TO the large mill--went up
the furnace and smoke pipe, passed
along the floor--ignited a number of
pieces Of cotton--was blew off and split
the cap on the top of the upright shaft,
and passed down to the water wheel.
Both mills were in operation at the
time, but no person was in the least in.
