POETRY.

True poety is the illustration Of truth, in
its most sublime, most beautiful, or most
affecting appearance embodied to the mem
tai eye: 1t is the gift and the deep duty Of
the inspired art not merely to represent the
material form, but the internal movements,
the sentiments which are associated with
our image. This is the poets creation, the
spell that calls to life the materials with
which it deals! Truth, eternal and grand
truth is the object, but it must be truth ex-
hbited, not by reasoning, but by the lamp
Of Imagination. The true poet seeks to ex-
emplify moral truths by the rays of an in
ventive Imagination. There is implanted
in him spiritual being, which adds to the
material world another creation invisible to
vulgar eyes.

Temperance Lars. The great change
in the vote of Massachusetts is in part
owing to abolition, Judge Morton being
proiessedly a strong abotionst: but the
grand difficulty was the fifteen gallon law.
The Locos were most industrious in rep
resenting TO all who are opposed tothe law,
that it was Wing measure, and that i,
would be necessary to give the Van Bn-
renltes the power IN order to authorize the
free sale Of rum. These efforts were sue
cessful to very great extent.
III like manner the Wings Of Tennessee
were made answerable for the temperance
law of that State, and it is believed it had
great effect in defeating them there.
So also in Georgia, Judge Dougherty' S
defeat Tor Governor is attributed TO the
adroiness with which the Locos represent
ed him to be in favor OF stopping the sale
Of whiskey.
Thus it is that the base appetitcs of men
are strongly appealed to and made 10 aid

ruinous measures of policy, and peculation

MISTAKE OF THE Press. An importing
house in this city had occasion to advertise
for sale quantity of Brass Hoppers,l such
are used in coffee mills. But instead of
Brass Hoppers, the newspaper read Grass
aoppers. In short time the merchants
counting room was tbronged with inqulrers
respecting this new article of merchandise.
Good morning, Mr. Invoice; how do
you sell grasshoppers? ?"said fat merchant.
'What are they hogshead?' p ,4.aa saa
The importer was astonished, but before
he had time to reply, in came a druggist,
who being bent on speculation, determined
10 purchase the whole lot, provided ahs,
could get them low. Taking the importer
aside, for fear Of being overheard by thu
merchant, he asked him how he sold his
grasshoppers; if they were of prime quali-
ty and whether they were to be used in.
medicine. The importer was about OPEN
ing his mouth to reply in an angry manner
10 what he began to suspect was conspl-
racy to torment him, when doctor enter
entered, smelling at his cane and looking
wonderous wise. . t.,u m.I a0
"Mr INVOICE said he, "ahem! will
you be good enough to show me speci-
men of your grasshoppers?'' ssa fal
"Grasshoppers! grasshoppersn' exclaim-
ed the importer, as soon as he had chance
to speak-"what in the - name.
gentlemen, doyou mean by grasshoppers?"
