WILDWOOD FLOWERS.
Let Beauty deck her brow so fair, 81.
%;a With glittering gem and jewels rare,
Then HE to Fashions bowers;
And there, mid scenes Of pleasure bright,
Where folly lends her meteor light,
Pass all her golden hours! - E..;.
But give me, what I love so well,
A chosen haunt in shady dell
Where, wash'd in dewy showers,
I'd weave wreath with greatest care,
And bind it gaily round my hair,
Of sweetest wildwood howers!-
Nor would of earth's proudest child
Nursed in the lap Of Fortunes smiles
Envy her richest dover;
For dearer incense far to me,
Than homage paid to wealth, would be
The perfume Of these flowers!

As faithful as the Sun and Moon

The same old Coon was always there; 44
Nor had he yet the place fOreooks

BEAUTIFUL. COMPARISONS.

Describing his heroine, writer asys, that she
possessed IN agreat Degree the strawberry OF mod
esty and the hot corn of affection.
A dealer in shell fish advertises that his oysters
are fresh as young man just out ofthe country land
will 60 down as slick as Goliah when killed by
sling.
One persons observes that you might as well try
to say bar in two with notched ginger
bread, as to think Of winning the affections Of
young lady without money.
For I'LL Parents as sceN as Children.-No hu-
man being, however exalted his rank and fortune,
however enlarged and cultivated his understanding,
can long be happy without pursuit. Life il lad
der, on which we climb from hope to hope, and. BY
expectation, strive to ascend t6 enjoyment; but he
who fancies he has reached his highest hope is mis-
cradle indeed, or who enjoys the utmost of his
wishes; for many who have been most successful
in their respective undertakings, have given the
gloomiest description Of the emptiness of human
pleasure. The pursuit alone can yield true happi-
ness; and the most trfng object that has power to
fascinate the hopes Of man is worthy Of his atten-
ton.
A Soldiers WIfe.-At No. 1856 Reade street, re-
sides the widow Of soldier who was prisoner in
the old sugar house in Liberty street, during part
of the revolutionary war. She is truly lining
relic Of the OIdes fi1,e--being now 100 years old
She resides with a daughter who is within three
years of fourscore. No pension has ever been
grained TINS aged woman, VINO deserves ITCHY Such
provision. When the prisoners were suffering in
the sugar house, she devoted her hard earnings TO
buy them food, and with her hand carried water to
these sufferers to quencL their thirst. She is now
poor and needy; and the mention of these circum-
stances is we think, enough to kndle benevolent
emotion in some bosom filled with the milk of bu-
man kindness, and prompt that relief which will
thrill her aged heart with gratitude and JOY Not
wiihstaDding the great age Of the subject Of this
brief notice. her memory is continued to her in
remarkable degree, and she remains living monu-
ment Of the strength Of the mental out-living that
of the animal frame.--.M y. Jour. of Com.
Mr. Clays Neigh5ors.-What blnsh of shams
ought now to mantle the che ks Of the vile traa9
GERS OF Mr.. Clay. With all the influences which
the baseness of his enemies could bring to bear
against him, his own neighbors have given the
Wings majority Of 720, being gain over the vcte
Of 1910 of Ill. Where now are Gen. McCalla d
old Bob Wickliffe! Fayette has spoken, in ve'ce
which cannot be misunderstood, her verdict of
condemnation against these bitter revilers Of the
pure and honest statesman Of the West, and il they
are not wholly incorrigible, suspect they are
they will hide themselves in some private retreat
and not again appear before their outraged fellow
citizens, at least until after the Presidential cleo

Encircled with refulgent flame,
And swifter than the light through air
Descending down the angel-quires, ..s
On high attune their hallewed Tyres,
In strains resounding from afar.
From precincts bright God descends,
A heavenly light his steps attends,
And brightens all the hallowed throng;
Unnumhered worlds his might proclaim,
And systems Join to hymn his name
In sacred and harmonious song.
His glories through the heavens do shine,
Proclaiming natures work divine,
And show at once his sovereign power:
For sparkling flames and lightnings dire
Shoot Ear arOand electric fire, 80"
And all the sons of light adore.
He stood and bowed the heavens most high,
On cherub's wings sublime did fly,
And on an azure cloud he trod;
Through darkness high pavilioned, scars
Emcompasscd; wiRa around him roars,
And marks at once the thunder God,
He spake all nature into birth, .....
In beauty teened the new made earth
And from its native chaos sprung;
From darkness few resplendent light,
And decked the skies. while angels bright
T'Ais fair and grand creation sung.
The swelling oceans know their bound,
The rivers run their circling round,
And fruitful valcs their treasures yield:
He makes the verdant food arise,
And yielding trees with large supplies
For man ana beast from every field.
In space immense he placed Alright,
Through all the vaulted ether bright,
The stars that show their Makers praise;

In golden beams the glittering sun, .F
And silver moon with paier rays. ....

Nor less his glory in the deep.

And worms and fowls exalt his praise.
IN oceans space, watery way, aaes
There all the inny monsters play ......
And huge Leviathans do roll;
But to perfect the wOnd'rous plan

And gave him an immortal soul. . ..--
