THE HOME OF THE DEsoLArE.
by C. w. EVEREST.

How many drink the cup
OF baleful grief, or eat the bitter bread
OF misery! Sore pierced by winTry winds,
How many shrink into The sord.d hut
Of cherries poverty Thompson II.
Il was night--the storm howled sadly
by-and the mother sal in silence by the
scanly fire. that warmed and family light
ed The wretched. dilapidated cottage, once,
in brighter days. her happy home. She
had divided TO her ragged and Starving
babes the little pitlance of bread remain

the mad cravings of hunger! Little tho'r

vet fr' ely was il given, with silent tear
| that IL aoGs all! She hushed their cries;
soothed their sorrows--covered them with
her ta,tered mantle--bade them a sad
good night and returned to her sor-
rowful vigil. .@5~. ~ ~
The night wore away-and still sat the
mother over the fading fire she could mol
replenish, waiting the coming of him
whose returning footsteps once caused a
| thrill of joy through her bosom, and was
| hailed with boisterous glee by his little
ones. Once he promised at the altar to
love and cherish her, and nobly, awhile,
| did he redeem the pledge. His cottage
was the home of comfort, and his wife and
infant divided his love But alb how
changed! He had become drunkard
His business was neglected home
deserted-and his late return was but The
harbinger OF woe. He Came TO curse III,
INNOCENT partner of his misery as the au
thor of his wretchedness, and his fright
ened children shrunk away from him
screaming, as from a fiend Where wait.

wild emotions OF her soul-and her thin
hands seem endeavoring to force back IN,
bursting torrent of her tears.

PROFESSION VS.. TRADE.-Two adver-
tisements were recently published in a
newspaper, one for clerk IN a store. the
other for an apprintice to learn the black
smiths trade. The number ofapplIcants
in one day for the former place, was fifty!
for the later not one! VIVA: Sad illus
tration is this OF the mschievous effect
that has been produced upon the young
men of the day, by the inflated, ruinous
course which the business of the country
has taken during late years. The me.
chanicaI pursuits of life have come to be
regarded pretty much through the whole
country, and especially in the Northern
Atlantic States, in near y the same llgh
as labor is looked upon in the Southern
slave States; and with majority Of ou1
Young men, wan! if not beggary, artlfice
if not knavery, are regarded rs preferable
| to the comparative competence which cal
at al: times be procured by honest indusl
ry, employed in those Iaborious occupa
tons which give to the country its wealth
| and to society its most useful aad brIghles
tournaments. When a different state O
feeling prevails on this subject, then-an,
| no, till then-wilI we see less Of id!eness
with its attendants, poverty and dishones
ty, poisoning tue minds of the thous ,nd
of youth, into whose keeping, ere long
the Interests and support ofsociety and tn
country will fall.

THE AFRICANS COMPLAINT.

In meditation wrapt and lost in thought,
The son Of Afric poured his sad complaint
Alas, my country, kin, my hope, my all!
For thee my spirit breaks in tones of woel
My land, my land, the pride Of former years,
The scene of glory and of lofty deeds,
Yet uneffsced by Times obliyious hand;
Exposed, forlorn, see thee lie-thy race,
Like India 5 artless Aocks, which wandering Craze
The sunny hills, the ever verdant plains,
In baImy groves rechne, whence some fierce bird,
Swift bouncing, bears aloft his bleating prey
And prowling troops Of savage beasts forth drag
The harmless victim, food for clamoious whelps.
Thus fare thy sons and daughters, save that foes,
More savage still, prolons hopeless life,
The wretched boon Of speedy death forbid
Where turn my eyes see them prone beneath
The yoke, whence shift the blasts, they bring
Their signs, repIete with woe superlative and keen
Despair. From burning clirnes to either pole,
And round the vast circumference, they ply,
With servile hands their unremilted toll
Methinks hear the iyrants lash resound,
The extorted groan or frantic shrek of some
Wild mother, who aments her darling boy,
Asunder plucked by avaricious hands.
OF monstrous crimes were to name like,
Or speak Of deeds, too foul to have name,
Terror would shrink away, and shame would hide
Her head. And all for what' Complexion, sure !!
]. Whittier from MORALS art thou, Justice, fed.
Why treacherous Freedom withopp,ession league,
Ally PROSTATE land to trampe in the dust!
Relax, ye kings and poteniates of earth,
Expressions grasp relax, and mercy rouse;
And thou, trsitorous America, with all
Thy PICTURED sons, who bow at freedoms shrine
Whose spangled banners proudly float, DER slaves
Who groan in chains, in midnight darkness grope
Even at the metropolitan temples gates!
Stay, stay my frantic soul, where dost thou rave
What beam Is darling 'thwart my feverlsh brain
A ray, ray Of hope is piercing through
The darkened sky. Proud Britain's lion bold
Lays down his mangled prey, and loud for his
Protection roars. Shout, Freedom shout. behold
The eagle fierce, her iron grasp unlocks!
Oppression stands aghast-redemption comes!
Soul-lhrling soundl ospeed ye winged winds
And watt It round the globe, and thou, my land
With all thy fertile shores, break forth in joy,
And send Ger Thy wide domain. Ye fields,
Wi'hfragrancef ilIed-ye golden streams, grove.
ofpalm, whose 6ocks have ever sighed with notes
Of grief murnur aloud the general shout!
re deserts wild reverberate the sound,
And Ethiopia, stretch thou forth thy hands
To heaven, and take salvation full and free!
