ABSENT FRIENDS.
BY >. II. BARRIcK.


We miss their pleasant faces,
We miss each gentle smile,
That we're ever wont 10 greet us
With loving light the whilei
We miss their merry voices
In the halls Of mirth and glee,
We miss them in the dear old haunts,
Where their faces used to be.
We 60 out in the mcrning,
When the woods delight the eye,
And we gaze ont on the beauty
Of the smiling earth and skyi
But vacant place is round us,
And a vacant place within,
For the scenes that once could cheer us
Are not nov asthey have been.
We 60 out In the even;
On the twilight sky to gaze,
When the shades Of night are stealing
Softly through the distant haze.
AHd we think Of those who loved US,
When cur days were young and fair
Act we sigh to think their presence
Vanished like form Of air.
We sound our silent hesrt-depths,
But we find vacant place,
And our eyes in vain are looking,
Fer some old familiar face:
And we feel shade of sadness.
On the sunshine Of our sky,
For we know that We have wandered
AL lile's better moments by,
We feel our pleasures fading,
And our JOYS declining fast,
That the shadow Of the future
Dims the sunlight Of the psstj
And in vain we look to nature
For the light Of other years,
Since our hearts are brimmed with sadness
And our eyes sufused with tears.
But in dreams we zee their faces
Fun Of sunshine as before,
And their eyes as bright as ever
With the welcome light OF yore;
And vita words Of love they greet US,
Heart to heart and hand to hand,
Tin we feel that we are with them,
In a blessed spirit land.

LETTER FROM MR.. CLAY

The following letter from Mr.. CLAY, in answer to
an invitation to attend the Congressional Bapouetn
honor Of the Birthday of Washington is character
Atic OF his patriotism and his strong interest in
pthlic affairs:
WASHINGTON. SATURDAY FEBRUARY 81 1852
GEShEMES have the pleasure to acknowledge the
receipt ohyour invitation to the Congressional Banouet
In honor Of the birthday Of Washington to be served at
Wizards HoteA this day. Nothing would be more graft
lying TO me than be able to assist that distinguished
occasions but reg say that the feeble state Of nv
health will not allow mn that satisfaction.
Iardeny hope that thearthday of that great man may
continue to be celebrated while time cndures But there
seems to me to be particular fitness Of giving at the
present time, extraordinary ecla TO the commemoraton
of the day We have great principles laid down by
him for the administration Of this Government especial
y in regard to its foreign policy drawn question his
wisdom doubted and serious efforts made and making to
subyert those maxms of policy by the conformity to
which this nation has risen to its present unparalleled
greatness.
We have seen serious attempts to induce the United
States to depart from his great principles of peace and
neutrality Of avoiding all entangng alliances with for
eign Powers and Of combining ourselves the growth
improvement and prosperity of country and in
place Of them, to plunge ourselves by perous proceed
ings and nsensbe degrees in the of Europe IN
der such circumstances it is right and proper useful
to repair to the great fountain of Washngtons patriotism
and drinking deep at it, to return refreshed and invgo-
rated by the draught.
hope, gentlemen, that your proposed celebration will
add to the of love and gratitude for his
memory, and to admiration for the purity, wisdom
and patriotism of his whole life
have the honor to be, with great respect, your obe
dent servant, H. CLAY.
