THE INDIAN GIRLS SONG.
My fairy bark, my fairy bark,
Float swiftly DER the sunny tide,
And warm the white mans gentle heart,
That may be his Indian bride!
III wrealhe the lotus in my hair,
And roam along the pebbled shore;
III seek bright shells OF many dye,
To gem my garments DER and DER.
Then glide along my fairy bark,
And rest beneath The grotto's shade;
He'll know the flowers and spices are
An offering from his Indian maid.
A coral branch thy pennant bears
The glow-worm's light illumes Thy brow
A type Of the undying FIRE
That burns within my bosom now.
kiss the letters of his name
He graved upon the aloe tree,
And smile to think how OF he swore
He d love no other one than me.
Then swiftly glide, my fairy bark,
Away, away, upon the tide
The spirit of the 'lover's lamp
Shall guide him to his Indian bride.

SPRING
Come wreathe again our lesfess bowers, 4
And clothe once more our fields with flowers
Spread, spread abroad thy mantle green,
And will hail thee, young May Queen
For winter drear now bids adieu,
With JOY we turn our thoughts TO you
Then do not taIry, gentle Spring,
But round thy fairy how'rets fling
III WOO thy presence with prayer,
To deck with gems the lov'd parterre;
III WOO thee gentle maid
To spread abroad thy leafy shade.
The feather'd tribes shall send along
To thee heartfelt, grateful song;
All nature will at once TO thee
Direct its tuneful minstrelsy.
Then gentle Spring, ah, now retrace
Thy rosy path with smiling face;
And 10 thine affairs will we bring
Our hearts best, hottest, offering.

Death on the Mississippi.

Death cometh when least expected.''
lsayeih the moralist .-Ay, verify! and to
none is this fact more manifest than TO us
who see and hear Of his daly-almost
hourly doings on the great "Fa,her Of Wa
ters." OF truth he doeth there revellike
a. very prodigal in the work Of Obstruction.
Its turbid bosom is the grim destroyer,s'ban-
quoting table! thereon he doeth hold his
festivals: while accident-sudden, blaster
ing and disastrous-and the wild passions
Of men, fierce and terrible in bood-shed-
ding, to wait upon it as survivors and cat
erers.
Death on the Mississippi! To us, the
jewellers upon its shores, who are familiar
with the myriad unanticipated shapes in
which the destroyer here steals upon our
race, what an impressive sermon do these
few words convey!-How uncertain the
current of existence how paltrV the
vain distinctions of society!-how preca-
rious human es!-what dream, shad-
dow, is human life! Go search the waters
upon which half an empire pours its wealth
and plies its enterprise. You shall find
them teeming with human bodies, one as an
instinct with life--as buoyant and as high
of hope--as proud of fancied superiority,
and as confident Of coming Joy as any
among the thousands upon thousands who
throng the crowded thoroughfare'
But death--out upon the leveller-has
puta stop to all their plans, abolished all
distinctions, and stripped poor humanity of
its trappings. The young and high of hope,
to whom existence was Joy, and the fu-
ture one bright thought Of happiness, well
ter in that turbid food, side by side with
the aged and the hopeless-the debuchee
with the moralist--the assassin with the
philanthropst--the murdered with the mur-
derer-the soldier with the counterfeiter--
the beautiful, the lovely, the good, with the
depraved, the abandoned and the vile, -
Jail struck from the eyry life by the sharpe
and unexpected bolt of the destroyer What
a promiscuous assemblage is gathered to
this festival of the grim tyrant, and how
unlike their associations in life, do they
sweep onward together towards the sea-
, unkneeled, uncoffined and ah, how diff
ferent this drear voyage to the one on
which they were bound! The kindly gree
ting, the bitter curse, the exclamation of
10y, are hushed The eloquent as well as
the blasphemous tongue is mute, and the
ear which drank loves rich music, or gave
heed to the bablings Of profanity and the
plottngs of crime, is deaf and insensate, no
, more to be unstopped until reused by ''the
triumph Of the Archangle and the voice OF
God" -NemphiS Enquirer.

THE MYSTERIOUS CITY.

"But the thing that reused us was the as
sertIon by the padre, that four days on the
road to Mexico, on the other side Of the
great sierra, was Irving city, large and
populous occupied by Indians, precisely in
the same state as before the discovery of
America! He had heared of it many years
before, at the village Of Chaial, and was
told bv the villagers that from the topmost
ridge of the sierra, this city was distinctly
vsable. He was then young, and with
much labor climbed to the naked SUBMITS
|of the sierra, from which, at hight Of ten
or twelve thousand feet, he looked over an
immense plain, extending to Yucatan,
large city spread over a great space, and
with turrets white and glittering in the sun.
The traditonary account of the Indians Of
Chalul is, that no white man has ever
reached this city; that the inhabitants speak
the Maya language, are aware that race
of strangers has conqured the whole coun-
try around and murder any white man who
attempts to enter their territory. They
have no coin or other circulating medium
no horses, mules, or other domestic animals,
except fowls, and cocks they keep under
iSiOuLOS " prevent tuOil NIOWlHSs
heared.
There was wild ething
that touched the imagination--in every step
of our journey in that country. The old
old padre in the deep stiffness Of the dimly
lighted convent, with his long bllck coat
like robe, and bis flashing eye, called up
on an image Of the bold and resolute prests
who accompanied the armies of the conquer
ors; and as he drew a map on the table and
lpointed out the sierra. to the top of which
he had climbed, and the position OF the
MYSTERIOUS CITY, the interest awakened IN
US was the most thrilling ever experienced
One look at that city was worth ten years o
an every day life. If he is right, place
is left where Indians and an Indian city ex
lists as Cortez and Alverdo found them; anC
there are living men who can solve the mlstr.
that hangs over the ruined cities OF Amer
: ica-who can 90 to CoPan, perhaps, AM
