POETRY.


We find the following, which goes a-head
of all the 'machine poetry" extant, ina late
number of that excellent paper, "The Ne'c
York Universe"
There is not in this wide world valley sweet
As that where they've Holsters and oysters to cat
And down to that beach poor exile Of Erin,
One morning spicd with ahungry nav stssrin'--
The dew on his thin robe hung heavy anDchill,
As he walked into the oysters and muscles to kill
Hail, Columbia, happy land!
Far worser times arc nigh at hand;
III could read my title clear,
Iwould right off to Texas steer;
And those who meet me on the way
have no doubt to me would say: h
o, tell me- blue-eyed stranger,
Say, whittier dost thou roam!
Through these cane brakes a ranger,
Hast thou no settled homel
o, say, can you see by the dawn's early light,
The mosquito we watched at the twilight's
ai last cleaning!
The mosquito that bit US SO fiercely all night:
That kept us the while from e'cr sleeping or
dreamingi +
Loud roared the dreadful thunder.
The rain a dclugc poured,
The clouds seemed rent asunder,
Yet wife lay still and snorcd
And then sung, u
With trembling tongue,
Hush, my dear, lay still and slunber,
Valiant armies guard thy bed,
Fleas and bed-bugs, without number.
Gently wander round thy head!
on in tho Silly night
Ere slumber's chain hath bornd Inc,
! feel the cursed bite
OF something crawling round me!
