A GEM.
BY WORDSWORTH.

She was phantom Of delight,
When first she cleaned upon my sight;
A lovely apparition, sent
To be moments ornament:
Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair;
Like Twilight, 100, her dusky hair;
But all thinRs else about her 5rawn
From May-times brightest, livelist dawn;
A dancing Shape, an Image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and way-lay.
saw her upon nearer view,
A Spirit, yet Woman too!
Her household motions light and free.
And steps of virgin liberty;
A Countsnance In which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A Creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food;
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles.
And now see with eye serene,
The very pulse of the machine;
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
A Traveller between life and death;
The reason Arm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength and skill,
A perfect woman nobly planned,
To warn, TO comfort, and command;
And yet Spirit still, and bright
With something of an angel-light.

SATURDAY.-By DR.. BowRrsa.

The week is past, It's latest ray
Is vanished with the closing day;
And tits as far beyond our grasp
It's now departing hours 10 clasp,
As 10 recall that moment bright
When first creation sprang 10 light.
The week is past and has it brought
Some pans Of sweet and soothing thoughts
And has it left some memory dear
OF heavenly raptures tasted here,
Although it ne'er returns again2
And who would sigh for It's return2
We are but pilgrims born TO mourn;
And moments as they onward flow,
Cut short the thread Of human wo,
And bring us nearer TO the scenes
Where sorrows end and heaven begins.
