"A saa' sweet dream; it fell upon my soul
When song and tho't first wok their echoes there
Sway,ng my spirit TO its wild control,
Ana with the shadow of a fond de spair
Darkening the fountain of my young life's stream;
IL haunts me still, and yet know 'Gs but dream.
Whence art thou shadowy ce that car st hide
from my rharm'd sight the glo' us things of earth?
A mirage o'er life's desert dost thou glide?
or, with these glimmerings of a former birth,
A"traillng cloud of glory,'' hast thou come
from some bright world aiar, remembered home!
know thou dwell'st not in this dull cold Reals
know thy home is in some brighter sphere;
know l shall not meet thee. my Ideal!
In the dark wanderings that await me here:
Why comes the gentle image then to me-
Wasting my sight ofiife in long dream Of thee?
The city's peopled solitude, the glare
oi festai halls, moonlight, and music's tone,
All breathe the sad refrain. thou art not there;
And even with Nature am still alone;
With JOY watch her summer bloom depart:
love drear winters reign-'is winter in my heart.
And il sigh upon my brow to see
The deepening shadow of Times's ieeting wing,
'Tis for the youth might not give to thee
The vanished brightness my first sweet spring;
That might give thee not the joyous form,
Cnworn by bitter tears-unblighted by the storm.
And when the hearts should be proud TO win
Breathe. IN those tones that woman holds SO dear,
Words Of impasSioned homage unto mine,
Cold!y and harsh they fall upon my ear;
And as listen TO the fervent vow,
And when the thoughts within my spirit glow
That would outpour themselves in words uf fire,
If some kind influence bade the music flow,
Like that which woke the notes of Memmon's Tyre
Thou. sunlight Of my life! wakes not the lay,
And songs within my heart unuttered dies away.
Depart, Oh shadow! fatal dream. depart
Go, conjure thee; leave me this poor life,
And will meet with firm, heroic heart
Its threatening storms and its tumultuous strife,
And with the poet seer will see thee stand,
To welcome my approach to thine own spirit-land.

NoRruERN SLAVE DEALERs.--In the
debate on the fugitive slave bill, in the
Senate, Mr. Pratt divulSed statement Of
Mr. Berrien's, to the effect that the latter
had collected upwards Of 100000 for a
citizen Of Rhode Island, upon obligations
given by citizen" of Georgia, for negroes
imported into the latter State. MIR Ber-
rien said tha, the statement was correct,
though he did not intend 10 make it pub
lie at this time. This is most astonish-
ing fact, and deserves the attention Of
Congress. Who is this wholesale dealer
in human flesh in Rhode Island? The
suppression of such traffic on our own
shores, would amount TO infinitely more
than our squadron on the African coast
has ever accomplished or is likely to ac-
compli>h. Let the northern abolitioni>:s
look to this, before beginning operations
in the South. t Phil. Bulletin.
