For the st. Charles City Intcligcnccr,
Poetry.

Please, what is poetry | know what it is
nOt-wish that some one would tell me what
it is. The world abountls with species hav-
ing the external appearance, proi'sion OF
soft, pretty words, skillfully arranged, accent
ed, measured, rhymcd, SC, &c, and yet, 10
my perception, at least J as utterly void OF the
genuine essence of poetry ms a tin horn-pith-
less as white papcr-and as false in sentiment
as the far famed :" will-o' the isp." 1t Meth
er thrills the heart nor wakcns within the soul
the slightest emotion. either of pain or pleas
urc, and serves no good purpose, save that of
furnishing employment to the printers. 1t
produces no imprcssion-is never cherished in
the memory never feeds or interests sound
mind 1t imparts no glow to the eye or fer
vor to the Imagination, is no incentive to vir-
tuous, energetic impulse.
love poetry when not SO purely ethereal as
to he above my comprehension. | love it for
its truth, its pith, its symmetry, its grace, its
sublimty, its beauty. | love it when it flows
like tiny, purling rill pure and hcalthful ;
or when it pours like Niagara foaming cata-
ract. rendering mute the tongue of the behold
or love it accompanied with the lightning :
flash and thunderbolt. Finally, in any aspect
save that of being forced by artificial means.
