Of all the stars that shone.
But when I saw thee, Leila,
With thine eye so dark and bright,
l thought that had l such star
'Twould guide my course Alright.
And l did love thee, LEILA:
All do not chide for this;
For who can stay the bosom's pang,
Or change its dreams of bliss!
And could'st thou only know how pure
And deep the love bring,
Perchance thou wouldst not scorn, Leila,
The honest offering.
But oh! thy gentle heart, Leila,
A stranger is to mine;
And the dear star whose light love
For one more bIess'd will shine.
Still, thou art in my heart, Leila,
And thou art there alone;
For, Leila, can love, but once,
And | can love but one.

INTERESTING DISCOVERIES IN THE
EAST.
Perhaps not many of our readers are a
ware of the researches which have been
Married on in the various parts Of the East
world within few years, and of the
Important discoveries that have resulted
herefrom. We allude particularly TO those
ancient Assyria and Persia, including the
EXPLORATIONS in Ninevah and Baby lon. The
rench Government has had, for several
wears, scientific corps engaged in these
esearches, and several distinguished scho-
ars from England and Germany are on the
anne ground, though not under the orders
/ Of their Governments, occupied upon the
inscriptions and sculptures, of which great
Numbers have been brought to view. The
esults of these explorations are of impor-
bee, as they throw much light on the an
ent history of countries hitherto involved
IA darkness. Without speaking of the mon
uments that made known the state of the
arts for 600 or 700 years before the Chris
tian era, and conse quently the state of civil
lizalion, we will speak of some of the his
torical facts disclosed by decyphering the
mysterious arrow headed characters in
which all the ancient inscriptions of Assyria
are written.
7 At Behistum, midway between Babylon
md Ecbatana, is an inscription cut in seve-
Dral large tables on rock at the base of a
mountain, extending TO 400 lines, in the ar
headed character. This great work
has been fully decyphered by Major Raw
