POETRY.
MY HOME IS THE WORLD.
BY THOMAS H. BAYLEY.

Speed, Rpeed my fleet vessel the shore is in sight, | The breezes are fair, shall anchor to night; Tomorrow, at sunrise, once more shall stand On the sea beaten shore of my dear native land. An! why does despondency weigh down my heart? Such thoughts for friends who reluctantly part; l come from exile of twenty long years,
 Yet gaze on my cOunIry through fast iaI"g tears' see the hills purple with the bells of the heath, And my own happy valley that nesties be"eallI Aud the fragrant white blUssOms spread over the thorn That grows the cottage tn which was hOr" It cannot be changed-nO, the clematis climbs Ger the gay little porch, as it did tn old times; And the seat where my father reclined Is still there But where is my father ?-oh, answer me where My mothers own easement, the chamber she loved, Is lsthere-overiooking the lawn where roved; She ihoug hfnly wilh her hand Der her brow, As she watch'd her young dariing-ah! where IS she
 now?
 And there is my poor sisters garden; how wild Were the innocent sports of that beautiful child
 Her voice had spell in it's musical tone,
 And her cheeks were like rose-leaves; ah! where is
 she gone? No father reclines in the clema,is seat!
 No mother looks forth from the shaded retreat! No sister is there, stealing silly away,
 Till half suppressd laush,er-berayed where she lay How oft in my exile when kind friends were near, I've slighied their kindness and sigh'd to be here How oft have I sai--' Could once again see That sweet little valley. how blest should be ? How blesi!-oh it is not a valley like this That unaded realize visOns Of bliss; For voices lisien-and iheM look around For light slepsthat used to trip atier ihe sound! But see this green patt-I remember it well- 'Ts the way to the church-hark the toll of the bell Oh! oft in my hOyhood iruani Eve strayed To- wonder dark yew-tree, and slept in it's shade. But surely the pathway is narrower now! No smooth space is left 'neath the dark yew-tree
 bOugh! . Der tablets inscribed with sad records tread, And the hone have sought is the home of the dead! And was it to this look'd forward so long, Aud shrunk from the sweetness of ltay's song? And iurn'd from the dance of the dark girl of Spain And wept for my country aga'n and again And was it to this to my easement I crepi. ,. To gaze the deep when they deemed that slept? To think of fond meetings-the welcome-the kiss The frieniy hands pressure-oh was it for this? When those, who so long have been absent, return To the of their childhood is but mourn; Wounds open airesl that time nearly had healed, And the ills of life al glauce are revealed Speed, speed my fleet vessel the tempest may rave There's calm for my heart in the dash oi the wave i; Speed speed, my fleet vessel! the sails unlnrl'd Oh! ask me not whither--Iny home is tue world!

coMMANp YoUR TEMPER.

A man never appears in so ridiculous light as when he is in Passion-and one of the first principles to be inculcated ii the minds of youth should be, to scoaaMAisD, youR TEMPER A passionate man is nev- CT respected--he is daily adding to the stock of misery which he inhefiis from na- ture-he is constantly embroiling himself with his friends, and rendering unhappy inc inmates of his own family. The chol- eric man is insane, and deserves straight jacket, and cell in Bedlam, as much as many poor wretch confined within those walls. whose paroxysms of madness are not more violent, and not so frequent. How many rash words have been spoken, how many rash deeds have been committed in moments of temporary excitement by pas. sion. which have afterwards been bitterly repented of through life! An anecdote is related of John Henderson, who died at Oxford at the early age of thirty-two. and who was distinguished for his scholastic att tainments. He had acquired remarkable ascendancy over his temper, and his friends never beheld him otherwise than
 calm and collected. A student of neigh
 boring college. proud of his logical ac-
 on;raments. was desirous of a private dis
 nu,ation with the renowned Henderson,
 The subject was selected, and they argued for some time in presence of his friends win candor and moderation. But Hen- derson's antagonist soon lost command of his temper, and at length perceiving his defeat inevitable, he so .faY forgot the char acter of gentleman as to throw glass full of wine in Henderson's tace-who without changing cOuntenance, or varying his position, gently wiped his face and coolly replied, that, sir, is digressios-- now for the argument But tho other gem demon present gave loose to their feelings. and kicked the imperIinent wranglsr out os the room.

NHITEFooTIsM IN IaELAMn--I. tendon. Feb. 9. Within the last few days the law less daring of the Wllitefeet system has shown itself in the county of Kilkenny, in a species of outrage which is not uncommon in Ireland. Last Sunday night, at II o'clock, party of Whitefeet, several of whom had their faces blackened, and who carried arms, attacked the house of Lau- renee keefe, of Cappah, in the Earony of Knocktopher. They fired several shots through the windows and doors, after which they sledged in the latter, when some of the party entered, but were soon expelled by keele and his five sons.
 The assallants made two other attempts, but were spritedly driven back by the in- mates. At length, however, the Whitefeet received endorsements, and between 40 and 50 burst in, overpowering all opposition. They beat Keefe and his sons III the most savage manner about their heads, with the but ends of their guns and pistols. Three of them are so badly wounded that it IS fear cd they will not recover. The rufIians then dragged Keefe's daughter out of bed and carried her of. 4 diligent search has | ooeh Ai0uo ioi ,iio uiihaPPJ Shi, put NlHOut success. She was to have been married in few days.
 Another outrage of this lamentable nature occurred on Thursday night previous, in the narisli of GarIsI.;Il ;,. tho Barony Of Ida. ---
 At midnight, about five or six fellows, arin- cd with guns and pistols, and with faces blackened, knocked violently ai the door of farmer James Griffin, demanding admit tance and fire arms. His sister. and an old female servant, were the only persons at home. The former hid herself in n loff. when three of the fellows entered, and dis covered her in her concealmcnt. They in- stantly dragged her down, forced her out of the house, and carried her off with them. firing shot at the moment. The poor oirl tainted m their hands, and when she recov- cred, found herself on horseback, placed before one of the party, whilst two others held her to prevent her falling off.
