Thunder! !

The following lines are literally copied fror
N original poem recently sent us:
There are in the Thunders sound,
Charms delightful to mine ear;
While red Lightnings flashing round
Purfes the Atmosphere.
And love to view those Hills,
Built so like Mighty Tower,
Where the Thunder Tempest spills,
Tons Of Water in an hour.
There the Hunter seeks the Prey,
Which his nimble Dog has freed;
But in sonow turns away,
Quite unable to proceed.

The Brothers.

WE ARE BUT Two-the others sleep
Through Deaths uniroubled night;
We are but two--O, let us keep
The link that binds us bright
Heart leaps to heart-the sacred flood
That warns us is the same;
That good Old man-his honest blood
Alike We fondly claim.
We in our mothers arms were locked
Long be her love repaid
In the same cradle we were rocked,
Round the same hearth we played.
Our hoyish sports were all the same,
Each little joy and woe
Let manhood keep alive the fame,
Lit up so long ago.
WE ARE nUT Two-bc that the band
To hold us till we die:
Shoulder to shoulder let us stand,
Till side by side we lie.

presents so many combinations of beauty:

bold Encas doan the subterranean de-

poets They put my fancy toa sore
task that famous day. In the Elysian
home of the good made happy, | saw
the silver lake, and the hlll-sides where
the sun-beams slept, and could easily
turn the mulbcrries and poplars and les-
tooned vineyards into the groves where
the Venus cooed, and the golden boughs
waved but where were the grassy
meads, and the messy hlllocks, and the
cool grottos, and the fragrant bowers,
and where the tiny rill should magnify
into the crystal Erdanus! As | stood
by the high banks and still waters of A
vernus, / could dilate the bushes and
brambes into shaggy forests, and deepen
the shadows of declining day into some
thing like internal gloom; but there
were the boiling waves, the fiery blasts,
aud the sulphurous vapors that an>
nounced the dread abode of the Gimme
rians, and the dircful outlet of Erebus ?
And as penetrated the rocky steep,
and CROPPED my way down, down, through
thick darkness, made more horrd by the
red smoulderinc flame of the single
torch that dunly revealed the cold black
vault closing over me, | could fancy my
self quite shut out from the bright world
Of living mcn-and the squalid wretch,
whose back bore me over broad dis
NAL pool, could well believe grim old
Charcn, whose leaky boat had sunk at
last: but no necromanoy of the lmagl-
nation could pco lie the Stygian gloom
with fitting ghosts, nor break The dead
silence with their gasping screams.

To a Pctunia Flower.

Thuu'st come ut last,
Sweet lovely flower,
Mid wintry winds and chilling blast,
70 cheer us for an hour.
With coral bright,
Sweet, lovely flower,
We hail thy coming with delight,
Al this sad hour
Thou hring'st TO mind,
Sweet, gentle flower,
Those halcyon days when we reclncd
In thy soft hover:
How hast thou been,
Thou gentle flower,
Since Autumns chills enclosed thee in,
With magic power
Why thus alone,
Sweet, lonely flower ?
Did all thy kindred, one by one,
Die in IN hour
Thou tellst alas
Thou lonely flower,
a tale of youth and beauty past,
And chillhood'S hour
Thou lovely one
Farewell, sweet flower
Thy lip grows pale, thine eyes are dim,
Storms round the loverl
'Tis thus we part,
Sweet, lovely flower,
From all that's dearest to our heart,
In one sad hour.
