A WINTERS DAY: TO LOUISA.

A WINTER 5 DAY: TO LOUISA.
FRIEND my bosom! oullst thou know
How far from thee, the days spend,
And how the passing moments flow
To this short, simple tale attend
When first emerging from the East,
The sunbeam flashes on my curtain,
l start from slumber's ties, released,
AMI make the weather's temper certain.
Next on the closets shelf seek
My pocket Homer, and compel
The man of many wiles, in Greek
Again his many woes to tell.
How true he points the scenes Of life,
How sweet the poets honest prattle
Far sweeter than fierce lllium's strife,
Aud never ending fields Of battle.
At nine, comes Moses to my door,
And down stairs summons nc with ease,
But on my n.ighbor calls before,
And knocks, .'Nlss Kitty breakfast, pleas.l'
Again, he louder knocks, and stronger.
Till Kitty answers, Coming, Moses
And then, in half an hour or longer,
Comes Kitty, just as breakfast closes.
Then forth sally for the day,
And, musing politics and rhyme,
Take TO the Capitol my way,
To- Join in cololuy sublime;
There, with the fathers Of the land
mix in sage deibcration,
And lend my feeble voice and hand
With equal laws to bless the nation.
The labors of the Senate DER,
Agnin with solitary pace,
Down to Fatomac's glossy floor
My mornings footsteps r.trace;
And Oft, detected or elatc,
With painful or with pleased reflection,
In thought renew the days debate,
And canvass votes for rotrospection.
At home fnl the table spread,
And dinners fragrant steams invite;
But first the two fold stairs | tread,
Ny atmospheric tale TO write:
Then, seated round the social board,
We feast till absent friends are toasted
Though sometimes my delays afford
The beef and mutton RoyrrToAstci.
In pounces johnson from bis school,
dogearcd Webster in Lis hand,
Repeats his daily studied rule.
And next his mother takes his stand
With looks Of pure maternal bliss
Mamma says, John, wilt have an arple -
And on his cheek imprnts kiss
Ills cheek, which rose and lilly dapplc.
Soon little Mary, too, they bring:
And now, We practice every vile.
And clap our hands, and langh and sing,
To catch that h,sven, an infants sn.Te.
Meantime. an apple pearing, whirleJ
Thrice round the head, with mystic City,
And forthwith on the carpet hurled,
foreteils her future lord to Kitty!
As eve approaches ascend,
And hours Of solitude ensue;

Before me airy visions roll,
And steal me from nysclfaway
Not long the dear delusions last
Not long the lovely iurms surrounImc;

An Original Poem
BY JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

JoHN QUINCY ADAMS was, upon the whole, probably
thr most accomplished public character have ever
hi in the United States. In many respects doubtless
hr Everett may be regarded his equal but Mr. Eve
rett is ~ no means comparable with Mr.. Adams for
manysidedness for universally Both of these eminent
men are ranked among American poets and it would
b. difficult 10 say which of the two exhibits the finest
claims to poetcai distinction. Mr.. Adams, however,
surpassed his youthful friend in the number and
variety Of his rhythmcal and lyrical compositions and
apparently in the easy huency with which they were
thrown Off Indeed, Mr. Adams appears to have written
in y"tE" about readily as in prose.
Among the published poems Of Mr.. Adams do not
remember any more pleasing, rejecting in a more
agreeable ht his character than the following, which

The BATTLE OF THE BLACK SEA.-As this
battle is in which the friends of Turkey take a
deep interest, give the following account of the
spot where the Turkish and Russian fleets were
engaged, and where nearly the whole of the brave
Turks who took part in the battle, either met
waery grave or fell by the deadly weapons Of their
enemies. The article is from the London Tines
1t would seem probable, therefore. that the squad
ron which the Russians demolished was a convoy
bound with troops and arms for some point on the
coast oil ASIA; and the most probable OF the
story seems y be that the Russian cruisers pursued
ths convoy into the Roads Of Sinope. Ii has also
pea suggested that. Sinope is a naval arsenal il
Is possible that some OF the vessels destroyed by
the Russians were huks in that port Sinope is
me best ha'bor On the coast of Asia Minor, situated
about sou miles from the Bosphorus, and at the
narrowes part of the Black Sea, being only forty.
two maritime leagues from Sevastopol. The town
oi Sinope Is built on the ishnu>t OF peninsula jut-
ing out INTO the Euxne, and forming two capa-
cious harbors. That to the south -east is used Nv
me Turks as naval station. The town is a stIua
tlanked with towers, and covered BY a small citadel
Dill, IN spite OF The Importance of the place. it has
long been considered the most vulnerable point on
the whole coast oi Asia Minor. The land batteries
Whatever they may be, appear to have been quite
incompetent to meet the TIRE Of the ships, and this
engagement furnishes another example of the COM
Para,!ve weakness of Ordinary Notifications when op
posed to modern naval gunncry. Among the Turk
,sh forts there are scarcely any strong enough to
beat OF a line Of battle ship. However, after the
destruction OF no less than twelve Turkish vessels.
without taking single prize in Il condition to be
removed TO Sevast pol, the Russian ships were
themselves in Il condition reach that harbor with
difficulty. The havoc which is described to have
taken place shows that the sh ps both sides were
fought with great gaIlantry; and the Russians, who
first Surprised every one by allowing themselves to
be beaten Gu land, have now surprised US again by
an exploit at sea. They had, however, BY their
own account. vast superiority Of force, and Os.nan
Bey. the Turkish commander, only surrendered a:
the last extremity.
