SOUTHERN LITERARY MEssENGER
/" Nveu rrr rrsArs. vs,rSe."

We have received the seventh number OF tho southern Literary
Messenger, n monthly periodical published at Richmond, Va, by Mr..
T.W. White, aud "devotod to every department ofliloratnrc anu ihe
fine arts IL has long been "a natter of surprise and regret, that
Virginia has not hitherto encouraged something OF this nature. OF
tho Magazines ultimate success, now that II nay be called fairly CO
tatlished, there cannot be- a shadow Of doubt. Ii was wdRted, aud
will be enthusiastically received. That IL will not lack the support
of able and efficient writers there IL evidence enough already. a
fund OF literary taent-we mean such talent a IS eau be rendered et
fcctivc in the pages of Misecilany-has been long lying dormant in
the romantic soltudcs of Virginia. Its energies will now be arous
Ell; and, il we mistake not greatly, n short time will see this peuo-
deal, II rot the first, at least ranking high among the first OF the
country.
The present number is bcttcr-Gir better than its predecessors. IL
coatnins many excellent articles In prose aud verse, and such ms tho
best OF its Eastern competitors may be- proud OF. The literary noti-
ces arc characterized y a purc moral tone, and are free from either
quaekery or dogmaiism--Dut the editor must learn, in the very be.
ginning, to reject all trashy communications. We select a poetical
gcm ofthc first water. No one imbued with the spirit of true poesy
will fail to ADMIRE the extreme dclieacy and antique vein OF the fol
lowing iues.-Baltimoro Republican.

Where whiloipe my spirit caught
Affections hottest brcathings;
Where under the skies with me
Young Rosalic r~ovcd-aye, drinking
From joys bright castaiy.

The old wood bright with blossoms;
ofthe pure and the chastcncd gladness
Upsprinsing in our bosoms;
/ think Of the lonely turtle
So topgucd with melancholy;
And the hue of tho dropping moonlight
And the starlight pure and holy.
OF the beat of a heart most tender;
The sigh of n shclltinct lip,
As son as the land tonos wandering
For lcagucs over ocean deep;
OF a step as light in its falling
On the breast of the beaded len
As the fall of the fairy moonlight
On the leaf Of yon tulip tree.
Think of these and the murmur
OF bird and katadyd,
Whose home Is the graveyard cypress,
Whose goblot the honey reed;
Aud then ! weep.-for Rosalie
Has gonc TO her early rest,
Aud the green-iipped reed, and tho daisy,
Suck sweets from her maiden breast.
