BY ED8D A N L4sG8I1.IN. Queen of the verdant hill, and aowery vale, The leaf-clad forest and the banlv gale
 Where dost thou stay so long Queen of the sylvan bower where jesamine tVines When rosy morn in soft-eyed apIendor shines.
 Where is thy Pan-and hark! where is thy song, Oh, tis net heard within the forest glade; He tunes his rural pipe houeath the shade
 W11re Woodbne wreath9s along- Where branching boughs V With graceful foliage bend And plnneo choes in varied chorus blend
 Strains of wild melody, to mock his song. Hope whispers V.iltfully-s not far away = Yet trelnblos, fearftl ofa long delay
 Cir e'er tiny train Is seen; For frowning Winter shows him 10th to go, And ever and anon, with sieety snow
 Obscures thy fsyorite carpets teeming green. Haste. gentle Queen, in Eden's pristine bloom, Sweet hamburger of love and beauty, come,
 On the mild west winds borne Iris time the early lark essays hls wings, And from his yellow plnmes the dew-drop fings, To mount tie azure sky and wake the morn. 'Tis time the embryo blossom deck 'd the trees With hohey' cups. that tempt the humble-bees Forth to the fragrant vale Languieh the humming-blris, at an early hour To sip the dewy sweets from flower to flower, And sport their youthful piniuns on the gale Ger hill and dale, from morn til noon stray, From noon till eye still wend the may way,
 The leafess trees between No purple violet meets my searching eye, And where the moss-eroWn'd rivulet murrnurs by, The cowslip, fairy flower, is not seen. Nature. for shame is naked charming Queen She blusIes for her robe ofYcvet gyeen,
 And tiRts of heavenly hue Then cast thy mantle round the fair forlorn, Let vernal blooms the trembling nymph adorn,
 And wreathe her bosom with the Fearly dew. Let tunefal Pan the sylvan boys advance, Knit with the Graees and the Hours in dance, , To lead their Queens bright way Again the halcyon days of joy shall be, Loved rural walks, and rural minstrelsy,
 And blooming spring reward her poets lay.

The effect o mental emotion on the condition of the human body is sometimes very remarkable, of which fact striking illustration is furnished in anecdote related of the celebrated Dr. Rush. He was called to see patient whom he lad known in youth, and in whose farsers feid he had often watched an eagle on
 is nest during the timo of incubation. The patient, who was female was extremely i'll with typhus fever, when the Dr. entering the room, canght her eye and pronounced cheerfuiy the words "the eage's nest.' Tn moment she seized his hand without being able to speak, whilst her counenance gave evidence of strong emotion, caused probably by the recollection ofhe scene of her youthful enjoymens, and from that time she began 10 recover.
