The following beautiful tribut,
. The r'chefuneta recently appear
ed IN the Iames-Democrat. We dc
not know the name of the author
but consider the poem worthy o
reproduction:
Tchefuncta, broad and beauteous stream
Bright IDOL ola poets dream,
Thy waters Ger sweet music make,
In gliding toward yon placid lake;
And in thy bosom e'er is seen
The image of the hye-oak green,
That droops with half languid grace,
As if it sought thy loved embrace.
Above, the sky, SO brightly blue,
Looks down to see itself in you.
The sunbeams daily with thy cheek,
In many gay and wanton freak;
And Oft zephyr floats along.
10 mins.a with thy mUrmuring song.
> lis then your dewy lips you rout,
To kiss the flowers springing ont
In beauty from thy messy beach,
VI hlch otherwise were on. of reach.
LcAstunctt, on grassy lawn
The fair home once of sportive fawn-
The foot of which thy waters lave,
With every pnrling, passing wave.
Nature with lavish hand hath here
der beauties spread both far and near;
md gazing on, the thought will rise,
That surely this is Paradise.
