TO THE SEA.

/ love the seattle breeze, that from its home
Comes Ger the waters, whitening into foam;
The spray that glitters on the moons pale light,
From the dark vessel in her onward flight.
I love the sea-e'en when across the sky,
Quick as thought, the swift winged lightnings fly
When thunde rs ROLAND, like misty veil,
The white sail shvers in the rising gale.
love the seats boundless wastes Of foam,
The Iandsman's terror, and the sailors home
In storm or sunshine, wild. resistless ssa,
My hearts deep homage shall be paid to thee.
The native American., 1840-10-10
THE INrEMpERATE HUI BAND.

i 1t is my friend in the degradation of a
husband by intemperance, where she who
has ventured every thing, feels that she
is lost. Who shall protect her, when the
husband Of her choice insults and oppres-
ses her! What shall delight her when
she shfinks from the sight Of hls face,
ART trenhes at the sound of his voice?
i'ba hearth is indeed lark, that he has
made desolate There, through the dull
midnight hours, her grefs are whispered
! to herself; hut her bruised heart bleeds in
secret, There, while the cruel author of
the distress is drowned in distant reve,ry
she holds her solitary vigil, waiting, yet
dreading his return, that is only to ring
| from her by unkindness, tears even more
scaldIng than those she shed over his
transgressions.
To bring deeper gloom across the
present, memory turns back and hroods
upon the past. The joys of other days
come over her as if only to mock her
grieved and weary spirit.
She recalls the ardent lover, whose gra-
ces won her from the home of her infan-
cy; the enraptured father who bent with
such delight over his new born children;
and she asks ifthis can be tie same this
sunken being, who has now nothing for
her but the sot's disgusting brutality; no
thing for those abaShed and trembling
children, but the sots disgusting exam
I. pie.
Can we wonder that amid these ago
nizing moments the tender chords of viola
ted affection should snap asunder? That
the scorned and deserted wife should
confess ''there is no killing like that which
kills the heart y That though it would
have been hard to kiss for the last time
the cold lips of a dead husband, and lay
his body forever in the dust, it is harder
still! to hold him in So debasiny IL life, that
even death would be greeted in mercy
Had he died in the light Of his good
ness, bequealhing to his family the inner
litance of an nntarnished name, and IN
example Of virtues that should blossom
for his sons and daughters from the tomb
I -tIongh she would have wept bitterly
indeed, the tears OF grief would not have
been also the tears Of shame.
! She hehelds him ftilen fromthe station
he once adorned, degraded from eninence
to lgnominy; at home, turning his dwell
ing to darkness, and its holy endearments
to nockery abroad, thrust from the com
partnership Of the worthy, self-branded
outlaw.
The native American., 1840-10-10
Vol. WI CITY OF WASHlNGION,
Pu f TRY.
SONNET TO LIBERTY.

There is spirit working in the world,
Like 10 silent subterranean fire;
Yet. ever and anon, some monarch hurld
A ghast and pale, attests its fearful ire.
The duneeon'd nations now once more resplre
The keen and stirring air Of liberty.
The Giant wakes. and finds, surprised. he's free.
By depths fonntain-cave, that ancient Choir
Resume their song the Greek astonsh'd hears,
And the OLD altar Of his worship rears.
Sound on Fair Sisters; sound your boldest Tyre
Peal your old harnonies as far from spheres
Unto strange gods we long have bent the knee.
The trembling mind, too long and patiently.

mechanic of this place who by prudence
