From the National Era
ON HEARING OF THE REVOLUTION IN
FRANCE, FEBRUARY, lS48.
Ell ISAAC JULIAN.

ana proudly stands erect again:
Her freedom shout, DER land and sea-
Is as the voice Of Destiny,
Proclaiming, Earth shall yet be freef'
Iyrants in vain ye strive to bind
The Frenchmans free, elastic mind
Safer would be your task to tread
The volcanoes dark and smouldrin bed
Silent and cold, while fierce below
The fires of ruin fercely glow:
Forbear! we need no more be told
The Frenchman is the Frank of old!
Not vain have been thy beautiful throes,
Thou land of glones and of woes!
Who calls thy bloody baptism vain,
Himselfis fit to wear chain!
No; though again thy struggle fail,
More surely wilt thou yet prevail
And servile Europe, once thy foe,
With thee in close communion grow
No faithless Court to intervene
Its selfish schemes to mar the scene;
One aim for all the PUBLIc Coop
One common altar, "BnorHERHooD."
Yes, Europe by thy feudal shame
By Rome and Athens ancient fame
BY all the rights of man cast down
Before the mitre and the Crown
By 'Engand's VOW at Runnevmele'-
BY brave Wat Tyers righteous deed
By sword of Wallace and of Tell,
And all who nobly fought or fell,
TO vindicate the Peoples
Against Expressions iron laws
BY Millions high persuasive song
BY Russels and by Sdneys wrong
BY Britain's foll and wondrous shame,
Cheated for ages with the name
OF Liberty, while vampire brood
Constantly drain her heart best blood
By Paine's, by Cobbetts truthful pen,
Emblazoning the Rights hf Men
By Emmet's blood and Firms state
BY Poands Heaven moving fate
BY evry patriot martyrs bones
BY age enduring tears and groans-
And seas of blood crcing thy thrones
Thou yet shalt see brighter day,
Yet shall thy dark clouds roll away,
And thou Regenerated, Free,
Refuse, thenceorth, 10 bow the knee,
Almighty God TO aught save Thee
Already has the dawn begun
We pant to hail the rising sun!
CSherihg Freedoms Holiday
On this sad planets long decay
An hour of which may we'll atone
For ages OF Oppression gone!
Then comes the Jubilee of Earth
The glorious reign of "sense and worth" -
The hour by Friends Of Man oreiold,
Who pined its go les to behold
The Sun of Freedoms rising sway
Is bright ming to the perfect day
Each continent and ev'ry isle,
Full soon shall tighten in his smile,
And men, of ey'ry cline and race,
In Liberty and Loves embrace
Look up, with hearts oil fire, and say
PRAISE Con THAT wa HAVE THIS DAY!
The FORESTS OF OREGoN.-It is more
especially, i'll the forest that the grand, the
sublime, rle picturesque, the beautiful form
the most singular and fantastic combna-
tons. From the Hottest giants of the for
est down 10 the humblest shrubs, all excite
the spectators astonlshmens. The parasites
form characteristic feature Of these wood
lands. They cling to the tree, climb it to
certain height, and then, letting their tops
fall to the earth, again take root, again shoot
up, push from branch TO branch, from tree,
in every direction, until twisted, tangled,
and knotted in every possible form, they
festoon the whole forest with drapery, in
which ground work of the richest verdure
is diversified with garlands of the most va
ried and many colored flowers. In ascend
ing the Columbia, we meet from time 10
time, with bays Of considerable extent, III
terspersed with handsome little islands,
which, thrown as it were, like groups of
flowers and verdure, present charming
spectacle. Here the painter should GO to
study his art-here would he find the love-
liest scenery, the most varied and brilliant
covering. a. every step the scene becomes
more ravishing; the perspective more noble
and majestic. In no other part OF the world
is nature so great coquette as here.
