They climbed the rock-built breasts OF Earth,
The Titan tronted, blowy sleeps
That Graded Time. Where Freedom keeps
Her flag of white-bIown stars unfurled,
They turned about, they saw the birth
OF sudden dawn upon the world.
Again they gazed; they saw the face
OF God. and named it boundless space.
And they descended and did roam
Through level distances set round
by room. They saw the siIences
Move by and beckon; saw their forms.
Their very boards otttime i'll storms.
And hear them talk like silent seas.
On unnamed heights back-bown and brown
And torn like battlcments of Mars.
They saw the darkness come down,
Like curtains lo0Sencd from the dome
OF Gods cathedral, built Of stars.
They saw the snowy mountains rolled.
And hcaNed along the nameless lands
Like mighty pillows. saw the gold
OF awful sunsets, saw the blush
OF sudden dawn. and felt the hush
OF Heaven when the day sat down.
And hid his face in dusky hands;
Then pitched the tent. where rivers run
As if 10 drown the fallen sun.
The long and lonesome nights the tent
That nestled soft in sweep OF grass;
The hills against the ornament
Where scarce The moving moon could pass
The cautious camp, the Smothered light,
The silent sentinel ut night,
The wild beasts bowling from the hill;
The troubled cattle believing:
The savage proving by the spring.
Then sudden passing swift and still
And Blended rs Il bow is bent,
The ARROW sent; The arrow spent
And buried in its bloody place,
The dead man lying on his face,
The clouds of dust, their cloud by day.
Their pillar of unllilins fire,
The far North Star. And high and higher
They climbed 50 high it seemed oft>oon
That they must face the falling moon,
That like some aue-it ruin lay
Thrown down before their weary way
They learned TO read the sign of storms
The moons Wide circles, sunset bars,
And storm provoking blood and flame;
And like the Chaldonu Shepherds came
AT night to name the moving stars;
And in the heavens pictured forms
OF beasts and fishes of the sea;
Ana marked the Great Bear YEARLY
Rise up and drag lis clinl>ing Chain
OF stars around the starry main.

AN ILLUMINATION OF THE PYRAMIDS =
DR.. Russell sends to the London Times the
following description Of an illumination of the
Pyramids 90 the OCCASION of the visit of the
Prince Of Wales to Egypt:
A sumptuous dinner was provided in the
chalet or mosque that was built for the conve-
nlence of the Empress Of the French at the time
OF her visit. After dinner came the event of the
evenlng-the illumination Of the Great Pyra-
mid. II WAS bold under:aking-the lighting
up OF pyramidical mass four hundred and
sixty feet, presenting two sides, each seven hun.
dred and thirty feet long, and broken into con-
stsnlly recurring shadows By over the hundred
courses of stone each forming ledge or plst-
form round the Pyramid However, complete
success rewarded the courage Of the two Pashas
First, Bengal fires, placed at short intervals
round the Pyramid were lighted, and each
man candles and other more duplicated feux
d artltce filled the air with many colors. Then
lights OF all imaginable colors which had been
placed on every course Of stone aud up each
angle OF the Pyramid, were so simultaneously
lit that the blaze seemed 10 run up the vast mass
and IN moment enVelop it in one great blaze
OF varlegated fire, while magnetism wire shone
out bright and clear from the apex. Every sort
OF hreWork cracked and blazed and made cas-.
cades OF co lored stars in tho heavens. The sight
was marvellous. The Prince and his suite ex-
pressed themselves greatly pleased. But still
more emphatic WAS the hum Of appreciation
from hundreds Of Bedouins who wer,, squatted
about like statues in white drapory on the sand
Soon all was gray snd cold again, and tile desert

The situation in Liberia, if reports are to be
credited, is anything but promising. All the
inland settlements have been abandoned, the
Inhabitants having lost all they owned except
the clothing on their backs, and are now sub
sisting at Latrobe on what can be furnished by
the government. % the 10th of October the
Lberiau troops made an attack on large ma.
tive town, but we're repulsed and left tb cir
cannon and ammunition in the hands of the
natives. Without cannon the attack will not
likely be renewed, and the government is too
poor to keep so large force idle. The success
OF the natives has emboldened them, and they
are uprising all along the sea coast.

Dear Brother:
am exceedingly pressed with business, and,
therefore, must be short, and for this time mix
politics with business of private nature. The
Virginia Delegates arrived here yesterday,
where they find all those from the southwark of
this, with the Deputies from N. Hampshire.

vii! be here, and then the Congress will be
opened There never appeared more perfect
unsnlmlty among any set of men than among
the Delegates, and indeed all the old Provinces,
not one excepted, are directed by the sama firm
ness OF union and determination to resist by all
ways and to every extremity. The Province of
New IorK is at last alarmed; the Tory Ministe-
rial faction are driven from their Influence and
Vlrluous patriotism taken place The shameful
defeat OF General Cages troops, near B, ston,
CATER Wanton and cruel attack on unarmed
people, after they bad brutslIy killed old men,
women and chidren) has rivetted such union
reused sucn universal military spirit through
out all the Colonies, and excited such universal
resentment against thi. savage Ministry and
their detestable Agents, that now no doubt re-
mains OF their destruction, with the establish
nent of American rights. Eight hundred reg
ulars, com handed by . Col. Smith, were de-
teated by 6O0 provincisls, hastily gathered to-
gether; although tits agreed the Col. personally
behaved with the true spirit of a good soldier
These 800 were afterwards supported by l2Oo,
under command of Lord Percy, but the whole
were compelled upon a reinforcement coming
up to the Provinclals) to retreat to Boston, hav.
ing had several men>killed wounded and taken
prisoners. The Provinclals are since increased
to 900, and lay now encsmped before Boston.
All communication is cut off between Town and
Country. The Troops, by way OF insult, march.

some people who were exercising, as thew told
The regulars, for amusement, without having

here of this business. The Connecticut people.

vent any bad designs Of the troops coming to
the latter place. J 4 Farewell
