P O E T R Y j..

The following poetical effusion, seems to be
from the pen of a lady somewhat out of her teens
The walls of her wrath are unsparingly poured out
upon the devoted heads of the members of Stag
Hall. For what reason we know not. Miss Peg
gy is certainly in trbulation for want of husband
We hope, as it is Leap Year, she may succeed by
hard exertions to catch beau. Her grammar, we
must confess, is some vi hat different from Murray's
However, this is of no consequence, she is un-
1lerstandable.

And goes to bed tight,

How they can touch,
Such dreadful stuff as grog;

The gals were all afraid
OF these same Stays,
Who, like tag-rags,
Wore each goatee beard.
What can they be,
I'd like to see,
These indi y iduals ali,
Who day and night
Is out of sight,
And frolic in Stag Hall.
They is club,
Who plays rub,
At whist or at all-fours;
And to be shy,
Is very spry
In locking up the doors.
Oh what set,
To toll and fret
And never think of marrying;
Could they embrace
A wife of taste
They'd blame themselves for tarrying.
Alas! poor me.
And must it be,
My lot in this here life,
To die maid,
And have it said,

So we shall happy be.

And has no gold

Oh! could find
A husband kind,
Who'd share this heart of mine,
I'd try my best
To make him blest,
And worship at his shrine.
Now do, dear beaux,
Try and compose,
Your feelings bright and gay;
Do come and see
Poor wretched me
Who for love pines away.
Very respectfully,

BIZ SIR EDWARD LYTroN BULwER, BART.

In the wear 1541, on the second day Of
September, toward sunset, the little chill
dren playing in the meadows at the out
skirts of certain small twon in the Mar
quisate of Brandebourg, were startled by an
apparition of tall man clad in half armor,
who had descended from the hill to the
west so noiselessly, that he was in the midst
of the young group before they perceived
him. They suspended their sports to stare
at the stranger, and were struck 10y the
ghast by paleness of the features which were
seen through the open bars of the morton.
His step was unsteady and Keeling, and he
uttered some iDarticulate sounds of pain and
distress as he sought to unbuckle his heavy
head-gear. In truth the poor man was
overcome by sharp attack of ague-fever.
He was soldier on his retun from Hungary;
the heat of the day and the weight of his arms
had overtired frame in which the wounds
of a sharp campaign were scarcely Scared
over, and while gasping out his prayer to
the urchins TO direct him to the nearest
inn, he fell to the ground exhausted and
almost insensible. The children ran 10 call
the guards who were lettering round the
gates of the town, and the soldier was con-
veyed to the principal hostelry Of the place.
Mine host received the man with more
politeness than was common to him; bat IN

ready money in circulation was chiefly to he
found in the pouch of man at arms re-
turning from the wars with his pay and his
plumber, and the landlord had no doubt that
the soldier had wberewithal to pay for bis
lodging if he recovered, or his burial if he
died. The hostess herself, comely look
ing woman enough, undertook to watch and
nurse the old man. And the neighbors
were much edited with the charitable dis
position Of their fellow-townsman.
The soldier had evineed small signs of

POETRY
For the Wisconsin, Herald.
The Lawyers Prayer.


On Thou! Who on Mount Sinai's awful height,
Midst clouds and thunderings thy dread laws
dids't write,
With thine own fingers on the Tablet stone,
Tha, they might stand eternal as thy Throne!--
Deep in the records of my manly breast,
May they, with all the force of truth impressed,
Be land marks sure to guide me in my way,
That from the upright path, meier may stray :
Oh! may bend my knee to thee alone
As Lord of lords, and King, thy kingdom own;
Between myself, and thy dread flaming Throne
To no false image may e'er bow down;
Nor on my lips, thy sacred name profane,
In hopes of honor. or of worldly gain;
And when the holy Sabbath morn shall come
May with joy haste to the hallowed dome
Where from the high and gracious mercy seat
The words of life shall the low penant greet;
And as hope for mercy from above,
May requite my parents with filial love;
So shall my days be heightened from my birth
To threescore years and ten upon the earth; "a
May engage in no unhallowed strife,
Nor take from mortal man the boon Of life,
Then shall my soul ne'er groan beneath the load
OF guilt, nor tester in my neighbours blood.
Keep me from secret and polluting sin,
That seeks in darkness, for its shame a screen
And from my heart, all impious thoughts be driv-
en-,
And incense from its altar raise TO heaven!
Nor with false tongue may my neighbor seek,
Against his truth, with black ming lies to speak,
On sland 'rous words that like the fatal dart
Shall cut the band that bindeth heart to heart,
Oh! save me from all covetous desire
From jealous thoughts and envy's burning fire,
And when fair focls shall Craze upon the plain
And numerous fields grow white with ripening
grain
When worldly joy and worldly goods increase
Withhold my hand that seeks to mar his peace!
..OH Thou! Whose balance doth the mountain:
weigh
Whose laws direct revolving night and day,
Whose power supreme the sinking world sustains
God of all truth, in righteousness who reigns!
Fill me with wisdom from the secret springs
OF deathless knowledge which to the soul brings
The light of life and truth! And may my name
Be void Of all offence, without spot or blame.
Oh. Touch my tongue with some bright glowing
coal,
That from my lips the words Of truth may roll,
With more than power Of mortal elcquence,
When on my strength the poor rest their defence
And may never use my Office high,
To aid the guilty from their doom to fly;
a." Nor bow, nor wrest the reading Of the laws,
To gain the vile triumph in their cause;
And as | treasure all my hopes of heaven
May the blest privilege to me be given
IOf bearing here an upright spotless name
More precious than the need of deathless fame,
That friends may weep for me the worthy sigh,
And thousands bless my mem'ry when die!
