GO FOURTH INTO THE FIELDS.
"The world is too much with u.s. Woods,eorth.
Go forth into the fields.
Ye denizens of the rent citys mart
Go forth and know the gadness nature yields
To the care-wearied heart.
Leave ye the feverish strife,
The jostling, eager selfdevoied throng
Ten thousand voices, walked anew 10 life,
Call you with sweetest song.
Hark from each fresh-clad bough,
Or blissful soaring IN the golden air,
Bright birds, with joyous music, bid you now
To springs loved haunts repair
The silvery cleaning rills
Lure with soft murmurs from the grassy lee
Or, gaily dancing down the sunny hills,
Call loudly IN their glee.
And the young, wanton breeze,
With breath all ordorous from her blossom. chase,
In voice low whispering 'mong the embowring
trees,
Woos you to her embrace
Go-breathe the air ofheaven,
Where violes Ineekly smile upon your way,
Or on some pine-crowned summit tempest-riven
Your wandering footsteps stray.
Seek ye the solemn wood,
Whose giant trunks verdant roof uprear
And listen, while the roar Of some far food
Thrills the young leaves with fear
Sand by the tranquil lake,
Sleeping mid willowy banks Of emera ID dye,
Save when the wild birds wings its surface
break
Chequering the mirrored sky:
And if within your breast
Halowed to Natures touch one chord remain;
Ifaught save worldly honors find you bleSt,
Or hope or sordid gain
A strange delight shall thrill
A quiet Joy brood DER you like a dove;
Earth's placid beauty shall your bosom FIJI,
Stirring its depths with love.
Oh, in the calm, still hours,
The holy Sabbath hours when sleeps the air.
And heaven and earth decked with her beau.
teous flowers,
Lie hushed in breathless prayer
Pass ye the proud fame by
The vaulted aisleS by Haunting Folly trod,
And, meath the temple ofth' uplifed sky
Go forth and worship God

QUITE A HEROINE

1t will be recollected by our readers.
that in our last paper, we noticed the
conviction Of James Skaggs and Richard
Heath, for passing counterfeit money.
he latter convict made his escape on
last Sunday night in a manner somewha
singular. The wife the prisoner was
admitted by the jailor TO an interview
with her husband, representing that she
was about TO leave this country, and that
1t was the last time she expected to see
him. Alter some time, the jailor return
ed to the prisoners apartment, and found
Mrs. Heath, (as was supposed, ready
to take leave of her husband-wrapped
up in cloak, and her face concealed by
her onnet. Thus attired she was suf
Tered to pass out of the prison, all the
time sobbing aloud in the greatest ap.
parent distress. On visiting the Jail the
next morning, instead OF the convict,
Mrs. Heath was found neatly dressed in
the clothes of her husband, who had
been permitted TO pass out, in the man
ner described, the night previous. The
heroine after loud laugh, explained to
her visiter, the secret of her husbands
