THE LONE WATCHER
[LLNES SUGGESTED BY a PICTUREl
why don't he come the night is DARK,
The rain beats down upon the sea,
And in my heart the last faint spark
or hope has died in agony.
Why don't he come 10 whom was given
Young srihood's pure and blessed trust
That love, which onl, due to heaven,
lavished on fraii mortal dust
why don't he come the cloud. now sweep
From the deep bosom Of the SKY,
While the bright sars their vigils keep,
Like holy beaeons lar on high
But I, pale watcher, saa and weak,
Upon my heart the clouds still rest,
The loud blast tans m, teatul cMceL,
But cools 10 fever in the breast
They say this c heck has lost its glow,
The eyes their laughing happy hight;
All little doth the gay crowd know,
ut this long, weary, watch tonight
How many an hour lone and dim,
I've matkd the gloomy shadows ncc'
White snow walked her funeral HYMN,
Oer the green grave oi memory
Alas upon tha, brow %, youth,
FAIR vision mid t- heanty's spell,
Iswritton this dark fearful truth
Suffering because you GLOVE too well"
OH woman thus too oi YOU cast
Your baiquo upon loves trsachctous wave;
The storm of change comes rushing past,
Aud wreck d hope finds an early grave.

PROSPECTUS OF A NEW SERIES OF
The Southern Quarterly Review.

COMMENCED ON THE 1sT OF APRIL, 1850, By
4 WALKER & RIcHARps, Proprietors e. Publishers
K TERMS-S5.00 per annum, payable in adj
vance. .
The publishers of the SOUTHERN QUARTERLY
REVIEW beg leave to entreat the attention of the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the in
variable indulgence which has smiled upon it's
progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be Withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands OF the
former publisher into their own, makes, as it
were, fresh start in the pursuit of well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselves to doubt,
that--wlth all their former contributors, with the
addition or many new ones, not less valuable and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the conduct still of Mr.. w.
GILMORE SrMMs, its sole Editor during the past
year--and with the assurance which the subscri-
bers now beg leave to give, that the work will be
henceforward issued in style very superior to
that OF the past, on better paper, with fine new
type, and with a regard to neatness and fnish
which will leave it second to none in the country
they will continue to receive that patronage which
thar own endeavor and the claims of such an or
gan seem reasonably to demand.
The writers for the REVIEW include the greater
number of the best and ablest names of the
country. They represent the highest literary
talent OF the South, and reflect truly, with ma
tive earnestness, force, and fidelity, the real poll
icy and the peculiar institutions of our section.
We entreat the people of the South, who feel
the importance of such periodical as the Review,
to excuse its Deficiencies, and generously lend
themselves to its assistance. With their counte-
nance and concurrence, it can become the estab-
lisbed organ OF domestic opinion--the champion
of our rights and character abroad-the guide and
counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste
at home--the arena in which the better minds Of
the country may always distinguish themselves.
and hnd the proper provocation to execution and
perfomance--the wholesome authority to which
we may always turn for the correction and re-
straint of crude and undigested speculation These
are all objects of the last necessity to civilized
people, who have anything to gain by enterprise,
or any thing TO lose by remissness and indiffer-
ence Once more, we ask from the patrons Of the
Review, indulgence for the past, and such sym
pathy and support for the future, due TO the
vital interests whichit faithfully serves, and the
character which il seeks to establish.
