hills that form the northern boundary of the
Alatamaha, one of the noble rivers of our

THE FAVORITE.
BY THOMAS M'NIcoLL.

l see the pretty babes. my lord,
The elfin creatures three;
l see their yellow clustering locks,
Their tiny nands see.
And we'll / mark their merry pranks,
Their unrestrained glee;
But never, never shall return
My eldest boy to me-
o.! Edwy is a merry child,
With frank and noble brow.
His eye is quick as hunting hawks,
And he is eldest now!
But bonny was his brother gone
As eye shall ever see;
And never, never shall return
My eldest boy to me!
And Anna, not three summers old,
With mimic matron tread,
Can force the unresisted laugh,
And proud, uplifted head;
But Charlie, with his pretty gait,
! @! wonderful to see
And never, never shall return
My eldest boy to me!
Sweet Willie is a gleeful babe,
With round and glossy eye;
And with the fairest English maid,
His rosy cheek will vie
But Edwy, Anna, Willie, all
The fair united three,
Alas too painfully recall
My eldest boy to me!

A FATHERS, GRIEF.

To trace the bright rose, fading last,
From fair daughters cheek;
To read upon her pensive brow
The fears she will not speak;
To mark that deep and sudden flush
So beautiful and brief,
Which tells the progress Of decay
THIS is Fathers grief.
When langor, from her joyless couch,
Has scared sweet sleep away,
And heaviness, that comes with night,
Departs not with the day;
To meet the fond endearing smile,
That seeks. with false relief,
A while to calm his bursting heart
THIS is Fathers grief.
To listen where her gentle voice
Its welcome music shed,
And find within its lowly halls
The silence Of the dead;
To look unconsciously for her,
The chosen and the chief
Of earthly joys-and look in va,n-
THIS is Fathers grief.
To stand beside the sufferers couch,
While life is ebbing fast;
TO mark that once llumin'd eve
With deaths dull film o'ercast -
~ WdsSd TIC suukSiC VI TIC Hdue
When earth is no relief,
And hopes Of heaven are breathed in vain
THIS is Fathers grief.
And not when that dread hour is past,
And life is pain no more
Not when the dreary tomb has clos'd
Ger her so lov'd before;
Not then does kind oblivion come
To lend his woes relief,
But with him to the grave he bears
A Fathers rooted grief.
For, Oh! to dry a mothers tears,
Another babe may bloom:
But what remains on earth for him
Whose last is in the tomb'
To think his child is best above
To hope their parting BRIEF
These, these may sooth-but death alone
Can heal a Fathers grief.

TALENT AND INpusTRY.-More is to be

There may be harlequin in mind as well as
in body, and always consider him to be Of
this character, who boosted that he could
throw off hundred verses while standing on
one leg. 1t is not to such source as this that
we are indebted for good poetry. De-
mosthenes elaborated sentence after Sentence
and Newton rose to the heavens by the steps
Of geometry, and said 81 the close of his career
that it was only in the habit Of patient think
ing he was conscious Of differing from otlS6ss

The Philadelphia Gazette remarks upon
the ignorance often manifested by Englishmen
and by Englishmen Of intelhgence on other
subjects-in reference to the geographicaiex-
tent and divisions Of the u. States. The most
respectable English Journals-she London
Times among the rest, and even the Quarter
ly Review-somctimes abound with most eyre
grious bnnders. We recollect that Lord BY
ron in his Diary, speaks Of Albany as town
in the vicinity of Washington. On account
of the commercial intercourse between N.
York and the European ports, that city is gen
orally regarded abroad as the capital Of the
u. States, and other American cities which
may be occasionally heard Of, are mostly locat-
ed in the neighborhood oft. In many places
of the European continent it is a matter Of sur
prise to find that Americans are white-if

way. An English gentleman, who come to
this city some three or four years ago, inten-
ding to take short tour into the interior,
expected to find bears and bufaloes a few
miles back of Baltimore. -.@
