W
Soul OF the wOrld-the press-the pr,ss-
what wonders hast thou wrought
1Iou rainbow realm of mental hiss e..
fhou starry sky of thought.
As dew unto the thirsty flowers
As the blessed light of heaven;
And widely rs the summer showers.
Thy silent aid is given.
Yet can'st thou fame upon the earth.
Like the dread volcanoes glow
And tyrants trembled al thy birth
As at an earthquakes throe.
Hast thou not lit the darkest land.
And broke the fellcst chain
The despot's red accurSpd hand
Shall never forge again
Another sun thy brightness rase
O''r the dark benighted world
And on Thy panic stricken foes,
Thy Lightning flashes hurled.
Dark superstition crouched wfere'rr
Thy thunder ScaihiEg fell.
And Il rmur,iproIs higot Guakod will, fear
As at The flames Of hell
And pTieStly craft and kingly power
Have Striven to bind thee down
But oh. how low beneath cover,
The inter ard the crown.
Thy nod can lop the proudest head
The world thy scepfre owns;
Th" path thou doSt TO glory tread
That path is paved with thrones
Yet art thou gentle AS the breeze
The latest breath of dav;
But chainiess as the mighty seas.
In thy resistIess sway.
At thy command the seals were broke
That hound the mighty deep
sand liberty and truth awoke
From centuries OF sleep.
Then forth to every sinful shore.
That man in darknt - trOd--
Thy bright and speeding pinions bore
The beacon words of God.
The sage's iamp-the muses. Tyre
Thou brnught'St DER oceans foam:
The stellar light of veStal fire
The eloGuence of Rome.
Then music roSe in Runic olimes:
And the isles of barbarous seas
First heard Athenia's words sublime.
Thy observation-disclosures,
And PlatO's lore and Sapho's lay
Der other lands Were borne
Where er%t waa heard the wild eoray.
The hunters winding horn.
Flag of truth, thy folds have streamei
O'er many a field of blood
And DER the wreck of empires cleaned
Like the rainbow DER the flood
The PATRIOTS eye still ti:rns 10 thee.
And halls thee from afar-
As the wandCrrr Ot the tracklesS sea
Hath hailed his guiding star.
Torch OF hope! thy blaze shall burn r.
O'cr millions vet To be
And flame above the funeral urn
Of bonds and slavery.
The world already halls thy Hsln,

the mails do not reach that portion Of the

here from Natchez, and the Monroe mail left
here on Sunday morning, with the mail that
arrived the Thursday previous, thus, by the

place from Natchez, the mail for Monroe and

OUR BOOK TABLE.


CONAN TRAITOR, BY W. H. He5ert, from r. B.
Peterson, Philadelphia, through ). B. Stea, Nse
Orleans
This is historical romance, of the days Of
Cicero, Cato and Cataline. There is one fea-
ture in this work we admire above all others,
and that is, that the author has sedulously
avoided being overlearned, and deals in plain
common sense languages, while most others
have aimed too much It Portraying Greeks
and Romans, and too little at depicting men,
forgetful that under all changes Of custom
and costume, in all countries ages, and con-
ditions, that the human heart is still the hui
man heart, convulsed by the same passions,
chilled BY the same griefs, burning with the
same joys, and in the main, actuated by the
same hopes and fears. The Roman Traitor,
is an interesting romance, and the author has,
evidently, bestowed a great deal Of attention
and research in procuring the materials With
which the work is constructed. There are
passages and scenes detailed in It, wherein
the author has drawn too largely upon his
imagination, and depicted in too glowing q
manner some Of the most revealing scenes Of
|debauchery and shameless pro6igacy.
