I'll. true that the Harp Of the Poet lies sleeping,
Rut oh, would you have it from slumber un :

And fearfuily draw from the Tyre a sound.
Far a voice hath gone forth from the Queen Of
the Ocean,
"The scenes and the themes Of Liberty's
cline,
Fan never awake in her sons an emotion
or rapture end feeling, grand, thriliing-sub-
llme!''
Twas thus as l sat by dark rolling fountain,
NV harp gave its tones to the Whispering gale,
When 10 from the distant and pine covered
mountain,
Isaw a rich splendor flash down on the vale,
Twas Columbia's Genus, whose eyes gave the
glory
Around her tall brow were the wings of the
And the scenes which have checkered her I'M
dying story
Were traced on the robes that enveloped her
form!
"Awske from thy slumbers." the Spirit cried.
With the lustre that fell from her own spark
ling eyes, ,
nNo themes for the Poet? when brilliantly
flowing
Yon Cataract mirror the storm OF the skies
No themes for the Tyre Behold the bright river,
How sioriously under the Heaven IT shines,
While the sun light of eve, like an archangefs
quiver.
Hangs spienpidly over its towering pines
No scenes for a Bard Look round on the bill

Where Perry has galIant,y written his name
And .,iii on old ERIE the Thunder God piiiows
His Torches d of fury in garlands Of fiame.
Hark bark from the blue vault OF the Heav-
en- hung DER US.
The proud Bird If Liberty ntters his scream

SINGULAR LOVE AFFAIR.

The Delaware Gazette tells good
story oftwo persons saved from the
wreck of the Pulaski, which we will
endeavor to repeat in few words:
Among the passengers was Mr..
Ridge, a young man of wealth and
standing, from New Orleans, who, be-
ing stranger to all on board, and feel
ing quite as much interest in his own
safety as in that any other person,
was. in the midst OF the confusion
which followed the dreadful catastro-
phe, about helping himselfto place
in one of the boats, when young lady
who had frequently elected his admit
ration during the voyage, but with
whom he was total y unacqaalnted, at
tracted his attention, and he immedl-
ately stepped forward to offer his ser
vices, and to assist her on board the
boat: but in this generous attempt not
only lost sight ofthe young lady, out
also lost his place in the boat. Alter
wards when he discovered that the
mart of the wreck on which he foated
would soon 90 down, he cast about for
the means Of preservation, and lashlng
together a couple Of settees and an
empty cask he sprang to II and launch
ed himself upon the wide ocean.
His vessel proved better than he ex-
pected, and amidst the shrieks, groans,
and death struggles which were every
where uttered around him, he began
to feel that his lot was fortunate, and
was consolng himself upon his escape
such as it was, when a person strug-
Cling in the waves very near him.
caught his eye. 1t was woman
and without taking the second thought
he plunged into The water and brought
her safely to his little raft which was
barely sufficient to keep their heads
and shoulders above the water. one
was the same young lady for whom ne
had lost his chance in the boat, ann Tor
a while he felt pleased at having eiiec-
ted her rescue; but moments reiiec-
ton convinced him that her rescue was
no rescue, and that unless he could
find some more substantial vessel, both
must perish.

RUNAW AY.MATCH.

We CHANGED, two or three weeks
since, to be descending the Miami Ca
nal, from Dayton TO this city, in the
packet "CIarion," Capt. Brockaway,
commander. The boat had overcome
some twenty-five or thirty miles of the
distance, when the tramp ofa horse
man was heard upon the tow. path. In
a minute a gallant steed was beside US,
covered with foam and painting with
the heat. On his back was surly
looking Dutchman, in years some for
ty-ivc or fifty, OF middle stature, with
short legs and still shorter stirfups,
and sitting in his saddle very much as
Sir Monkey rides his poney in the
menagerie. His appearance quickly
attracted the eyes of the crew and pas
sengers, especially as his throat, well
lined with dust and dried by the heat,
gave utterancc to sundry violent and
incoherent sounds, which were ever
and anon accompanied by threaten
ing flourish of stout whip which he
held in his right hand. At length we
caught the words, "Mine dawter--
Captain give me back +" Mine dawter. "
The passengers began to lcok at the
captain of fle "Clarion," who by the
way is modest looking, gentlemanly
sort of bachelor, to know what all
this meant. The captain protested
he knew nothing Of the Dutchman's
" dawter." The old man kept bawling,

THE FRiENDLESS.

1t is remarkable how a single word,
unaffectedly uttered, will sometimes
reveal to us, more fully and sirIkingly
than could many books, the deep and
long experience of human heart
Not long ago, friend of ours invited
a small party of children from an or.
phan asylum, to spend an hour of a
Wednesday afternoon at his house,
They manifested, each in the way that
nature prompted or education allowed,
the most eager delight. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY rich treat TO them in their lone
ly state. 1t would have done any
body's heart good to see and hear them.
AS he was distributing amongst them
the contents of basket of oranges, he
CHANGED to hear one of the little girls
say to a companion who was sitting at
her side, /" know why Mn has
invited US 10 his house-it is because
we have no friends. | haven't had a
friend come to see me for FIVE years y
Mercilul heaven ! Only twelve years
old, and not have seen the face OF one
friend for five long years!
We have heard many sac tale of
orphanage, and thought that we felt
sy mpatby for the ffiendless, before, but
we never heard words that went direct
Iy to the heart like tbose-that made
SO palpable the dreariness Of the long
days and nights that heavily follow one
another, unenllvened by single smile
or kindly tone oil one living being with
whom the homeless can claim kindred.
We thought. too, that we knew, ofold,
something of the value of our friends,
and estimated, not altogether too light.
ly, their joyous and assuaging lnfiusn-
ces upon the pulses of the soul, but ne
yer before did our natural relatives
seem SO precious to our regard, or did
our heart involuntarlly seek 10 bind
them to itself with such tenacious en-
brace, as since the simple words OF the
poor orphan girl have given to US one
81 CHI and inadequate impression other
upulterabe and melancholy expert
ence.
No wonder that God from his secret
throne has sent out so many kindly
messages and sacred promises OF love
to the solitary and forsaken, the pa
rentless and the widow; for oh, how
much do they need the sympathy o.
heaven, who have no friends on earth!
and how pleasant to the angels OF con-
ISOLATION 10 pay their nnobtrusive and
peace laden visits to the children Of
loneliness and sorrow.
Would it not repay us richly, ay,
thousand fold, if we would open our
doors more frequently to those who
have no home, and distribute our kind
" sympathies, which are, indeed, the
bread Of life, more freely to those who
hunger and thirst for words of friend
ship and looks of affection and tender
ness.

PRAYIyG MACHINE.--On the hIgh
roads of Japan every mountain, hill,
and cliff, is consecrated to some divlni-

address long prayers. As this would
occupy too much time for those who
are in haste, a machine is used consist
ing of upright posts with an iron plate,
set into the top. The turning round
of this plate upon which the prayer is
engraved, is deemed equivalent to re-
peating the prayer.

man. The idea ofsuch flight as We
had Just Witnessed, had occurred TO
him, and he had turned round to watch
the packet down to Hamilton. Upon
beng assured that his "dawter" and
her lover had escaped from the boat,
he pu: whip TO his horse and set off in
pursuit of them, TO the great amuse-
ment Of the passengers who united in
opinion that they had now seen real
raaaray match.
AS yet we have been unable to learn
the result of this youthful and loving
flight. Ii proves once again, that the
"course of true love never did run
smooth albeit, it now and then run
meth very fast.
