those almost uninhabited shores; when picture TO
myself the dense and lofty SUBMITS of the forests
that everywhere spread along the hills and overhung
the margins of the streams, unmolested by the
OF the settler; when know how dearly purchased
the safe navigation of that river has been by the
blood of many worthy VirginianS; when / see that
no longer any aboriginese are to lie found there,
and that the vast herds of elks deer and bufaloes

all this grand portion of our Union instead of being
IN state of nature, is covered with villages

machinery is constantly heard; that the woods are
fast disappearing under the axe by day. and the fire

and fro over the whole length of that majestic river

spot; when see the surplus population Of Europe
coming TO assist in the destruction of the forest and
transplanting civilization into It's darkest recesses

Martin Carey was the boy sure enough for frolick-

Martin used to get corned that II was totally I'M

mind of Martin Carey.

Don't you Remember!

Don't you remember girIhood, sweet Kate,
Our girlhood so joyous and gay,
Long years that have fed with the eeholess tread
or old Time, as he hurried away
When your eyes bright and your cheek was as fai
As lilies most delicate hue
And yours a heart that was free the air,
And mine was merry heart too.
Don't You remember the little grey church
That stood on the slope of the hill;
Its litte white door and lis vine-covered porch!
know you remember il still
The church is no we knew il of yore;
Another stands on the site.
But Wiiss buf-oh, lis dizzy enough -
Still frowningy looks from the right
know YOU remember young Louis, old friend,
Young Louis, SO handsome and tall,
And Ight-heared Bob, that always was kind,
And deemed you the fairest Of all!
They have both pass away, like smile of the day,
And we never will see them again;
For Louis is laid meath the hickory shade,
And Robert lies low in the main.
And grandmother's cottage, so neat and so white
That stood meath the appe-tree's shade,
The bench by the spring, that Sancho's delight,
Where we and the schoo-children played!
OF these naughi remains, the crab-appe tree,
With its branches all tangled and bare;
But own there's a charm IN The ruin for me,
More hal0wed than words can declare.
Do you think of the meadow so green, friend Kate
Where daisies and blackberries grew
The dusty old road that led up 10 the wood!
Il often have traverSed with you'll
The meadow Is turned 10 a graveyard now.
The village sunk low in decay;
And sigh 10 think that too must drink
OF the tide now rolling away
There is change in all things that see friend Kate
And there's change in your old friend too.
The years roll awav and my ringets gray;
But trust there Is no change in you
And hope that your heart Is as light and free
As ever through life il hath been.
But know that you sign, the years roll by,
For the sport ON the village green.

GOES TO TIE WEST.

But of his public labors we shall speak word in
the sequel Let us for the present. follow him in his
solitary wanderings. Having lived on his beauti-
full plantation for ten years, he induced to re-
move to the West. With mattrasS, few prepared
viandS and two negroes to assist him in the tolls OF
emigration, he departed, accompanied by his wife
and child, for residence which be had procured for
him in the village of Henderson, Kentucky. The
method Of travelling at that day, which he has faith
fully described furnishes striking contrast with
the more easy and expeditions modes of modern con-
veyance. 1t was in the month of October that the
small party set out The autumnal tintS already de-
corated the shores of that Queen of rivers the Ohio
along which they rowed their feeble skiff. Every
tree hung with long and flowing festoonS of diff
ferent species of vines many loaded with clustered
fruits of varied briancy, the rich carmne mingling
beautifully with the yellow foliage, which yet pre-
dominated over the green leaves, rejecting more
lively tnS from the clear stream than ever landscape
painter painted or poet imagined. The sun had as
sumed the rich and glowing hue, which at that sea-
produces the Indian Summer. They glided
down the river meeting other ripple of the water
than that formed by the propulsion of the boat. Now
and then large catfish TO the surface, in pur
suit of shOal of fry, which started simultaneously
from the liquid element, like many Sllvery arrows
scattered shower Of light, while the pursuer with
open jaws seized the stragglers and with splash of
his tail, disappeared from view. At night the tnk
ling of bells along the shore told them that cattle
were gently rowing from valley to valley in search Of
food or distant homes. The hootng of the great
owl or the muied noise of its wings, as it sailed
smoothly over the stream, matters of interest TO
them; and so was the sound of the boatman's horn,
as ii came winding more and more softly from afar.
When daylight returned, many songsters burst forth
with echoing notes, more and more mellow to the
listning ear.

1t is matter Of deep regret, and one productive
OF much evil, that, in proessedly Christian COM
munity, any man should be stgmatised as a coward
for refusing TO raise his hand against another either
to resent insult of the tongue, or return blow
for blow: yet suchis the case, notwithstanding the
divine Injunction, ''uno him that smiteeth thee on
the one cheek, do thou also offer the other''

Written on Reading New Collection of Po-

BY MRS. SARAH T. BOLTON.
Another book, made up Of sickly fancies,
OF twilight rambles midst the breezy hills,
OF rainbows starry skies, and stolen Slances,
At Eden's radiant bowers and laughing rills
or vain conjectures sentimental pinng
Der buried Pompeii and falling Rome;
OF trailing sonnets, TO the ivy twining
Around some broken arch or crumbling dome.
OF shady grottos. Observation-Disclosures meadows;
Fair maids, with sunny eyes and raven hair;
Old pleasant memories, wching hopes dim shadows,
And visionary castles built IN air.
o bsrd endowed to minister forever,
Before the altar Of the human SOUL
These are but blossoms scattered on the river,
That bears the spirit TO its final goal
And thou hast sought the beautiful ideal,
Hast worshipped shades and sembanoes too long;
Life, busy, present life, stern, earnest real,
Hath higher, nober, holier themes for song
Leave gay gallants to moonlight walks and flowers,
To strike the light guitar to sigh and WOO
The butterflies that sport in pleasures bowers,
Thou hast more enduring work to do
Nor need'st thou haunt the past to stir the ashes,
OF those who live in old traditions dreams,
Whilst beauty life and inspiration flashes,
Far DER our own broad plains and sunny streams.
Song has the power to mould all human action;
To melt the heart subdue the stubborn will,
To breathe upon the raging sea of faction,
And bid its wild, tumultuous waves be still.
o then, in this our countrys hour of trial.
When discord menaces the rights of man,
Look at the shadows the worlds great dial,
And touch your harp strings idly, We who can.
Do ye not see the fearful signs that omen,
The overthrow of Freedoms holy fane7
Do ye not hear the footsteps of the fOeman
Sowing disunon DER the broad domain?
By all the blessings of that haowed charter,
That guarantees To US rights divine.
And by the suffering Of each glorious martyr,
That poured his life blood on cOuntTy's shrine;
BY all the old bright days. when foul-mouhed treason
Dared not in her secret haunts, to pirate
The fearful words that men, in calm cool reason
Speak now, and boldly, in the Halls of State;
BY all the danger that our country's glory,
Will pass like that Of other lands away,
Leaving behind q dim historic story,
\ name and monument of ruins grey.
By all the old worlds prayers and tears yearnng
To share the blood drought blessings of the new;
By all our affairs, all our home fires burning;
charge We, freedoms mnstrels to be true.
Go forthl with might and heart and soul to duty;
Prepare the ground, root up the tares of strife,
And sow the blessed seeds of moral beauty
Upon the fallow fields of human life.

That stirs the pulses OF your fellow men,
The warriors sword though wTeathed with deathess aure
Is not so mighty as the poets pen.

HIS YOUTH AND MANHOOD.

In his sixteenth year, that is, about 1871, he went
to France to pursue his education He received
lessons in drawing from the celebrated David. But
the 'eyes and of giants and the heads OF hor
represented in ancient sculpture, were not the
themes he would be at; and although he prosecuted
his studies sedously, his heart still painted for the
sparkling streams and nterminable forests, for his
''native land of groves" He returned home the fol-
lowing year. with kindled ardor for the woods and
commenced collection of designs, destined shortly
which the world has appauded as the 'Birds of Am
erica" They were begun on a beautiful plantation
which his father had given him. situated on the banks
of the Schuylkl, and near creek known as the Per-
kioming. There, amid its fine woodlands, its extern
sive fields, its hills crowned with evergreens, he
meditated his simple and agreeable objects and pur
sued his rambes from the first faint streaks of day
until late in the evening, wet with dew, and laden
with feathered capives, he returned to the quiet en-
joyment of the firesde.
Yet the passion for birds did not seem TO seal his
heart to the influence of still more tender and
allied passion. He married, and was fortunate in
marrying a lady who in yicssiude has animated his
courage, and in prosperity appreciated the grounds
and measures of his success. "But who cares"
says he speaking of the event. to listen TO the love
tales of a naturalist, whose feelings may be supposed
to be as light as the feathers of the birds he define
ates."
For many years the necessities of life drove him
into commercial enterprises, which involved him in
a series of caIamities. His mind so filled with
nature that all his specuations proved Improbable.
From observation and study only could he derive
qualification. He was compelled TO struggle against
the wishes of his friends-except of his wife and
Children 10 their lasting honor be tSaid-who strove
to wean him from pursuits which, in the worlds eye
are so barren and unproductive But their impOrtun
ties had an effect directly contrary TO what they in
tended. irritated beyond endurance, he broke at
last through all bonds and gave himself up entirely
