SHE WAS A PHANTOM OF DELIGHT.

BY WORDSWORTH.
She was a phantom of delight,
When first she cleaned upon my sight
A lovely apparition, sent
To be "a moments ornament.
Her eyes as stars Of twilight fair,
Like twilight, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From May time and the cheerful dawn;
dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, TO startle and way-lay.
| saw her upon nearer view,
spirit, yet woman too!
Her household motions light and free,
And steps of virgin liberty;
A conntenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet:
A creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food:
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles.
And see with eye serene
The very pulse Of the machine;
A being, breathing thoughtful breath,
A traveller betwixt life and death,
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight. strength and skill,
perfect woman, nobly planned
To warn, to comfort and command;
And yet spirit STILL and bright
With something ofan angel light.
The native American., 1838-01-06
TO

How sweet the cadence of thy Tyre!
What melody Of words!
They strike pulse within the heart,
Like songs Of forest birds.
Or tingling of the shepherds bell
Among the mountain herds.
Thy minds cultured garden,
Where natures hand has sown.
The flower seeds Of posic-
And they have freshly grown,
1mbued with beauty and perfume
To other plants unknown.
A bright careers before thee
All tongues pronounce thy praise;
ALI hearts thy inspiration feel,
And will in alter days;
For genius breathes in every line
OF thy soul thrilling lays.
A rameless grace is round thee
A something, too refined
To be described, yet must be felt
BY all of human kind;
Thine is the rainbow of the heart,
That cannot be defined.
Then blessings on thee, minstrel
Thy faults let others scan,
There may be spots upon the sun,
Which those may view that can;
/ see them not-yet know thee well
A Poet and man.

RHYME FOR THE NORTH COUNTRY.

A RHYME FOR THE NORTH COUNTRY.
BY RUFUS w. GRIswoLD.
Ho! sons of gay and gallant France,
Whose sires on many tented field,
With bow and sword and shield and lance,
Made every naughty Briton yield,
Who, in Burgundy or in Maine,
Sought Freedoms children to enchain!
Will YE look on and calmly rest,
While round tyrants altar flows
Your brothers. blood-your country's best
An offering to your country's foes
And not one effort make to rear
Another-Freedom's- there
Ho! dwellers on the mountain heights,
Whose hearts are of the iron mould,
Dare We no longer for your RI shts
Gird on the sword whose edge, Of old,
Struck terror in each Brtons breast
Whose foot upon your border pressed?
Will ye sit down your hearths beside
And, when your children Freedom name,
With trembling voice the prattlers chide,
Lest it should waken to flame
The hate which, even for a breath,
In Freedoms cause, condemns TO death!
Shame shame! upon the coward fall
Who dare not say he WILL DE FREE!
On him who dare not sound the call
70 Freedoms Field, from sea to seal
Who will not NOW his sword unsheath,
And with it Freedom win, or death!
The voice of blood, from Patriots graves,
Cries Vengeance for your country's wrongs!
Commands, if you would not be slaves,
To rise and burst the tyrants thongs,
To lift your standard sheet on high,
And, meath its folds, be FREE, or die.
From old st. Lewis castle walls,
Where MoNTcALM's ashes slumber yet,
voice upon each Frenchman calls,
To march, with ball and bayonet,
That Freedom once more to regain
AT whose shrine thousands there were slain.
Up, then, ye young men and ye old,
Put on the harness for the fight,
In freedoms cause be strong and bold,
And Con will victory give the right
Up, from the Huron to the sea,
And thunder that YOUR LAND is FREE!

THE EXPLORING EXPEDITION.

We have scarcely announced the appoint
ment Of Capt. KEARNEY to the command of
this expedition, before we learn that new
difficulty has arisen, and that he has resigned
the command of the squadron, and that his
resignation has been accepted. The last
plan, it is stated, proposes to reduce the squad
ron to sloop Of war, one ship Of about $50
tons, (the Relief,) one brig, and the schooner
.Actipe. In the opinion of Capt. KEARNEY,
and the officers associated with him, there
would not be on board these vessels, sufficient
accommodation for the scientific corps appoint
ed by the President.
Should not CONGRESS now take this ex-
petition in hand, and either expedite 1t or
expunge it The trade winds from some
quarters, and the mder-currents from others,
have delayed this highly important object
quite long enough. Congress should look to
