SUBLIMITY OF NATURE.-In looking over
our boundless and beautiful praires, we have
been almost lost in the contemplation of the spen
did scene. As far the eye can reach, it rests
upon the waving grass, the blushing flowers, and
the mind is al once imbued with the power and
goodness Of that Being, who has formed such
great and glorious works for the pleasures and
comforts of his children. The fountains Of the
heart are opened, and its rejoicings are at once
poured out to the giver Of all good The very
birds seem to sing his glory, and all things do
him praise. Not long since, says the Spirit OF
the West, good and worthy man was emigra-
ting from Ohio, to seek home and a fortune for
himself and family, in the bosom Of the fertile
West. On first beholding the large and expand
ing prairie Of the eastern part Of this State, he
appeared much affected--his whole frame as
in violent commotion; it was evening, the scene
was beautiful; the sun shedding its last ray
of ofbrilliancy the vast prairie which lay before
him covered with verdure; he seemed to forget
that he was all inhabtant of earth: his soul was
ravished; he knew not what to do neither coud
he speak; the tear was glistening in his eyes; he
travelled, however till the dusk of evening came
on, when he arrived at lonely cottage, where
he put up for the night. He soon, however, abb
sented himself from the house. and was seen
making his way towards large and beautiful
mound near by. On reaching the mound he fell
upon his knees in the attitude of PRAYER with
his eyes cast towards heaven, his hands clasped
together, and was soon absorbed in earnest devo-
ton of the Supreme Ruler of the Universe

And so you have got new beau. my dear Kate!
Does he talk OF your figure and air
Does he rave about fortune and fate,
And exile, and death, and despair?
Does he say you are wonderous wise,
Aud learned, and witty, and fair?
Does he see heavens bne in your eyes,
And write verse on the shade of your hair?
Does lie praise your white hands and small feet.
And talk OF your style when full dress'd
Does he say every smile is sweet,
II sooths half his sorrows to rest? .....
Does he stand by your side while you're singing
And look very pensve, wild!
Does he VOW that the tear-drop is spring:ng,
And love makes him act like child?
Does he anger your sleepy old neighbor,
When he comes, with his soft serenades?
Does he help the poor mnstrels to labor .'..
When they sing about beautiful maids?
Does he call rather soon in the morning
To bring you new music, or books?
Does he patiently bear all your scornng,
And seem to be reading your looks
Does he stay very often for dinner,
And bring dear mamma all the news?
Does he speak like saint, or sinner
To sui. all the family views? ...
Does he talk to papa about science,
The progress of arts, and new laws!
Are his politics. noblA defiance
Of banks, and the national cause?
DOES he say you are gifted with genius
Does he know by the bumps on your head
Ifhe does, 'twoud be shockingly heinous
To discredt what Spur2heim has said 49,.
Does he tell you Of statues and fountains,
Classic poets and painters, of Rome, .
Volcanoes, vast ruins, great mountains,
And the patriots love for his home.
Does he study your iavorite poet:
Can he uuotp &c ,olia Rnalyh - evary line,
Does lie say YOU first taught him to know it,
And protest that yonr taste is divine?
Does he talk about twilight and roses,
And moonbeams, and valleys, and streams
Does he say cruel fortune opposes,
While hope lures him on with her dreams?
Does he stand very long when he's leaving, .
And tell you the clock is too fast.
Does he say his fond bosom is heaving
With anguish too bitter TO asts
Ii he does-you may laugh at his pain,
Experience has taught me the art
For beau we'll received is so vain,
He will make a light toy Of your heart!
Has he set all the old folks to preaching
Oi housekeeping, prudence and pelf,s
And the sp;nsters TO planning and teaching
How love may take OF himself?
Has ne set the young ladies to guessing
About his intentions, and calls?
Do they envy you every blessing
Like concerts, and parties, and balls?
If he has, never alter your carriage,
For beau is versatile thing:
Never love till he talks about marriage,
Never trust til you wear plain ring!
0 then be confding and feeling,
Be cheerful, domestic and kind
And while Time outward beauty is stealing,
lie viii leave mental graces behind. MAR
