POETRY.
From the Louisville Literary News Letter
WOMAN's FAITH.


lie came mott yet she fingered on the spot
Where he had promised many an eve before,
That ere the vines that wrea,hed around her cot
Had hung their green leaves o'er the lowly door
Ere spring began to wear her wild flower wreath
Or the first violet had perfumed the air
Ere Natures hand had strewn the barren heath
With gems Of loyeliness. he would b. there.
He came not ; yet she waited his return
With all woman's love and trustlulness,
She never thought that love would cease to burn
Within his heart that he could prize her less
Than when they parted-absence had not taught
Her heart forgetfulness, she had not learned
'Tis woman's lot ~ love-to feed on thought
That bliss, by hours o. misery is earned
The grassy heath, the yiolets that had flung
Their sweetness thro' the balmy atmosphere
The vines that DER the door luxuriant hung,
Meath autumn's wand were growing red and scar
And she had marked them one by one decay,
Until shadow lay upon her brow,
Yet still her love did strengthen day by day,
For yet she deemed he would redeem his vow.
He came not all the beauty autumn filings
Der the broad forest and the yerdan plain
Were borne away upon his yellow wings.
And wiRter had renewed his iron reign;
Oh, when We love, how often do we ask
If ought there be can break the idol drcam1
How slowly do We learn the bitter task,
That those we love aIe less than what they seem
As drops Of fabed water in an urn
Sealed from the light until by time made dim
Swell slowly, and 10 foulest poison turn,
Bursting the urn when they have reached the
brim,
Thus loYe within her bosom had been sealed
Each hour consuming that too trusting heart,
Until at length the ruin was revealed,
The poisoned water-drop had done its part
lie came not but another radiant Spring
Came smiling, deckcd in sunshine and in flow
erS;
They brought her only what such scenes of bring,
The burning memories of happier hours.
YET still she hoped perchance the next fair moon
Might bring him to her, proud IN youthful bloom
She dreamed not that the slar-like flowers of June
Would bud and blossom on her carly tomb.
There came doubt-the pain of hope Deferred
The bitter agony such doubts must bring
The silent madness which her young heart stirred,
The signing for rehef--for deaths cold wing;
Yet as the ivy climbs o'cr broken shrincs
Hope twIned among the ruins of her heart
Hope, that so oft our misery rcfnes,'
Yet still preserves his power with sweetest art.
He came not; and with faith unstaned and pure
They laid her in her cold and narrow cell
For grief like hers the world had found no cure
She loved, alas, " no, wisely, but too well"
And thus it is wi tn woman: oft she builds
An altar for her lovc-a priceless Shrine
But It's her OWN love which the alter gilds
And make a holy light around it shine.

The voice of freedom. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1839-1848, 1839-04-27

| Mr.. Clay ought to read the sentiments of Black
stone, Mansfield and Brougham, those grea
masters of the English law, and whose comments
ries and decisions form great part of the com
mon law OF our own country. He would learn
from them, that laws conflicting with the eternal
and lmmutable principles of Justice are no laws
and entitled to no respect. This question of prop
erty, by the way, is the line of division between
the abolitonists and colonizationiss. The one
society declares the slaves to be the bona de prop
erty ofthe master. The other takes the high and
noble ground that every man is owner of his own
limbs, his own powers of body and mind. The
whole christian and civilized world is fast Weld
ed assent to the latter doctrine. This doctrine
will ere long break the chains of every slave.
The mere colonizing few thousand free
people in twenty years, while one and a half
million are born or brought slaves into our country
is found too trivial and feeble a project to distract
much longer the counsels and efforts Of the friends
of humanity
Mr.. Clay declares the abolitionists to be friends
of amalgamation; although he says he has heard
of none of them furnishing in their own persons
or families examples of intermarriage.' When he
said this, he was addressing the Vice President of
the U. S. and President of the Senate, slave hold
er, the acknowledged paramour of black woman,
and the father of colored children.
The orator with great resignation says, leave
slavery to Providence. The same Providence
which has preserved us from suffering any evils
from the system, will preserve our posterity.
Why notleave the Bank, the Tariff, the Sub Treas
ury system, and the North Eastern Boundary to
Providence? There is such thing as tempting
as well as trusting Providence
In closing, Mr. Clay, as many others do, declares
himself no friend of slavery This comes with
a bad grace from the holder, will not say owner
of fifty slaves, and the founder of the slave system
in the new but great state of Missouri. When he
fought with Randop h, he avowed himself an en-
envy of dueling. In public address, which Mr.
Clay delivered some eight years since before the
Colonization Society of Kentucky, speaking of the
free people ofcolor, he said, of all classes of our
population, the most vicious and contamina-
ted themselves, they extend their vices to all
around them Speaking of them in another part
of the same address as on their way to Africa, he
says, every one of them is missionary, carrying
with him credentials in the holy cause of Civiiza-
ton, Religion, and Free Institutions
So foolshly and so contradictoriy, will even
great men write and speak, when advocating a
bad cause.
