FOR THE ENQUIRER.
STANZAS,

The hampers walked stirring strain, 1 And thrilrd heavens throne with their glad note
 The Lamb threw wide the Book of Life And on its page the sinner wrote;
 And then from Lamb, and Throne and Host,
 Came one united joyous breath;
 | As when a child upon steep,
 | Is rescued from a sudden death 1 Yes, there is joy in heaven, when man l Repents and lives and bows and prays; 1 Angels rejoice and thrill the throne Of heaven with the note they raise. l Then let us live, and send that joy Ten to heavens thro.u, it's g,4fsus .sssoae Then let us live and fill heavens crowd With better joy than earth hath known J.L.W.

 Rerie,o by the Hon. E. Bacon. of Nornaan's s TrGuelS in South America, in A. D. l642. Mr. Norman critics has highly interesting ,cork, "RAMBLES IN YUCATAN;
 or NOTES of TRAVEL through the Peninsula, in. cluding e uisit 10 the Remarkable Ruins of Chi. Chen, Kabah, Zayi and Urmal, nvih numerous illustrations :"
 A strong sensation was excited when Mr. Stephens, two years since, first gave the public his two volumes of travels in Guati. mala, ,and some of the South American states, including his account of the scenery. re- markab ble ruins, &c, then almost for the first time made known, at least to the extent and of the magnitude in which they were found to exist by him. The impression produced by them has by no means worn off or lost much of it's vividnesS. And Mr. Stephens has, for the year past, been engaged in fur ther explorations, of which we may proba- bly, soon learn from him the results. In the mean time the author of this work, stimula- ted by lively curiosity, and with taste and capacity well adapted to his object, has traversed portion of the same interesting grounds, taken observations of like monu- ments of an age and people once existing beyond the knowledge or tradition of any living man, and who have long since passed away amongst "the lost things of the earth:" but leaving these almost never-cnding me- morials of their high advancement in at least one of the arts which usually distinguish only highly improved state of civilization and refinement; but of whom. "The annals of the human race, Their ruins since the world began,
 Of Msm afford no other trace Than this-fhere iiUed q man /"
 The great interest which the novelty of the discoveries disclosed by MT. Stephens, and the happy manner in which he has de- tailed them, was such as was calcula ted to detract much from the impression which any after travellers might expect to make by the relation of the same or other likc ob. jects of curiosity and contemplation. But in inc hands of Mir. Norman tho subject 10. sea hut little of It's former interest. AlieF number of pleasant personal adventures well and graphically related, klP.
