THOU ART SAD.

Dispel the gloom which on thy face
In mourniul hue is lain,
And bid thy wiching beauty trace
Sweet brightness there again;
Oh think how deep the sigh is known,
Which heayes lis tone for thee,
When sadness DER Thy charms are thrown,
To clo,he them mournfuliy.
Upon Thy features sorrow sleeps,
Yelled in the gloomy light,
Which hovers DER The eye-li, cheeks,
When Joy is touched with blight
And silence steals around the scene,
Breathing Its stiffness there,
TIL life seems hushsd, and rests serene,
Where once i, bloomed SO lair.
Thy witching smile has ceased 10 play
So sweelly as OF yore,
Thy lively tones have flown away,
And now are heard no more;
Thy glist'nng eye is bathed in dew,
Which falls in sorrows morn,
And, cleaning, streaks the misty hue
Now gath'ring Ger its dawn.
The Silly shade OF sadness sinks
Upon thy lily brow,
And, dark'ning, seeks the bosom linas
That chain thy feelings now;
But break The deep and silent gloom
In which thy charms are clad,
And lie, thy beauty sweely bloom,
For now, Oh! thou ART sad

COLONEL DONIPHAN AND COLONEL

Colonel Donirhans expedition rom Missouri
through ssew Mexico 10 lie mouth CT the Rio
Grandc with the famous expedition OF the five
hundred GREEKS under the renowned leader Of
nearly similar name, Colonel Xenophon. The
las. has become classic because il was told in so
charming a manner by Xenophon and all Doni-
phan has 10 do is 10 write as perfect, history Of
his expedition TO make il be read With admiration
Two thousand yearshence. The Greeks we're led
from near Babylon through Armenia 10 the Black
Sea, and thence 10 Chrysopolis three thousand
four hundred and sixy.fve English miles. II
was accomplished in fifteen months, and large
part Of ii through an unknown, mountainous and
hostile country, and in an incement season, the
Greeks losing every thing except their lives and
arms. Doniphan and the Missourians travelled
over six thousand miles in twelve months, nei-
iher receiving supplies nor money, bn' living *
clusipely on the country through which they
passed, and Supplying themselves with powder
and balls by capturing them from The enemy.
They fought three battles in each OF which they
were victorious, over greatly superior numbers.
These are the two most remarkable expeditions
that have ever occurred.
