Fond mem'ry brings the light
OF other days around us,'-1ooT6.
After long absence when ODss returning,
IT is sweet to the distant hills arise
Aboyethe rolling waves that long inumihg
Have hid them nom the wanderers weary eyes.
IT ssweet to breathe beneath one native skies
The bslmy air perlumedb by natures charms.
8 IT il sweet when to parents breast one flies,
And clasps a mourning mother in his arms
That long has wepther safe from all alarms.
IT issweet to heat the organs solemn peal
Swell through the holy ases and arches grey
OF temple old where voianes lowly kneel.
And tell their beads TO purge their sins away.
ri sweet to hear the aged pastor pray,
II sswset TO hear the silv'ry voices rise
OF children, those bright blossoms in Life's Nay,
That frosty care and penury-defes
Till chilhoOds hours past then JOY before them flies
IT sweet when sickness lays It's victim low,
To have friend that is not bought with gold,
To fondly fan the feverburning brow.
IT ia sweet 10 wander DER the iuins old
Where "Lsdys iaire" and many a Baron bOlde"
Long since have ruld and now forgotten lies:
Crumbed to dust the monuments that told
Their names and state and deeds Of high empire;
Thus sternly Time to Fame, eDeR name denies
IT is sweet to hear upouthe moonlight main.
When far away from all we love we're staying,
The distant bugle's spiIsoolTinE strain
Breathe Home sweet home s0ft a raphpraying
IT is sweet to hear the Ordet Civ n for weighing,
When homewad bound; sweet when the irgate flies
Though flashing foam, no obstacle delsying;
T is sweet to sOOthe the soul where sadness tighs,
And kiss thedamond drops from weeping beauty eyes
IT is sweet TO share Loves and hearted throne {"
When youth and beauty fill the cup OF bliss
And know her heart is thine, and thine alone
Whose lips are glowing with the nuptial kiss.
Butthsre joy sweet than dit-'tis this
When the soft savage of the island shores
In southern seas, beneath the burning zone,
Where the volcanic heart LIES lava pouB
Through passion burning vens,Wih soul Of flame adoes.
Oh sweet remembrance of that bllssful hour
How swiftly at such times the moments fly,
To have such JOYS again. had the power
weuld not go in Abrams breast to lie.
found paradise in her dark eye,
Rose lips ambrOsis breathing, and breast
loves living pillow, where TO softly lie
My savage saviour wood her gale given guest
All meier again will he taste such enfsptur'd rest.
Long years have pass'd since on that Indian Isle
Where silver shore is kiss d by whispering waves,
A shpwreok boy found heaven in hor smiles,
Entomb'd untimey mid the coral caves.
Though years have flown fond memory engraves
Upon my heart her image, since the day
That saw saddest of affection slaves;
For al its sunsets last departing ray,
With Life and Loves last kiss her soul passd away

STEAMSHIPS ONO AND GEoRGTA.-NwO of the
West India mail, or contract line Of the Ocean
steamships, adapted to war purposes, and for car
rying the United States mails between New York,
Charleston, Havana, New Orleans, and Chagrss,
are nearly completed.
The Ohio, the first of the line, will be ready by
the first Of next month; the Georgia, by the lst Of
October.
1t will be recollected that some months after the
contract was closed for building these steamers
and the necessary arrangements made for com
mencing the work, Government decided to increase
their size to nearly double that stipulated in the
original contract, it having decided that vessels
adapted 10 var purposes in the Atlantic, shoald Be-
OF the largest class Hence the delay beyond what
first anticipated. The original proposition was
for ljOO tons burthen, but subsequently,, the re-
quest Of Government, their size was increased to
nearly double that capacity. Three more of larger
dimensions TO be ready by the first of January
1852, forming sem-monthlY line between the
places above mentioned.
The Ohio is 5000 tons burihen, 265 feet long, &c
feet beam, 80 feet depth of hold, and draws Il feel
water when loaded for sea. She has four decks
two of which are capable of carrying guns of the
largest size In case of war she will carry Pax.
han guns nf lf0 lbs. shot, and eight Of 40, three
miles range. She has two powerful side lever ma.
rine engines, Of 600 horse power each% Capacity
of boilers 100 tons; diameter Of cylinder u feet
with feet stroke of piston. Diameter of water
wheels Sc feet, paddles 10 feet face She hasstate
room accommodations for 300 passengers, and TEN.
! porary berths for as many more. All her interior
arrangements are calculated to insure comfort and
safety for her passengers. There is probably ne
sea steamer aoat in any country that equals in al
| respects this noble vessel. When we add thai
| George Law Is the contractor and builder Of this
| splendid specimen of naval architecture, we beal
the most conclusive testimony 10 its perfection
! The Ohio is to be commanded by Lieut.. Schenck
1t may not be out of place to add that this system
