ALIY Os LIBERTY “In ail things that have beauty, there ts nothing to man more comely than Liberty.” Milton. Whr n the dance of the shadows At day break is done. And the cheeks • fthe morning Are red with the sun; When he sinks into glory, At eve, from the view, And calls tip the plantu t T" blaze in the blue; — There is beauty. But earth has no beauty to see. More pioud than the front of a nation when free. When the'heautl ul bend Os ' he bow is above, Like a collat ol light On the bosom of love; When the moon in her mildness Is flouting on high, Like a banner of silver Himg out tn the skip— There is n< auty. Bu earth has no beauty to see, More pioud than the front of a nation when free. In the de th of ihe darkness, Unvaried in hue, W hen shadows are veiling ’lhe breasts of the blue; V. hen tne voice of the tempest At midi ight is still, Ami the spirits of solitude Sobs on the hill; — There is beauty. But where is the beauty to see. Like the btuad beaming brow of a nation when free? In the breath of the morning, When Natur’s awake, And culls up the chorus I'o ch iunt in the brake; In the voice of the echo, Unbound in the woods; In the warbling of streams And tt e loaming ot fl iods; There is beauty. But v. here is ihe beauty to sec, Like the thrice hallowed sight of a nation when tree? \k lien the striving of surges 1 mud on ihe main, Like the change ofa column Os plumes on the plain; When ihe thunder is up From his cloud cradled sleep, And the tempest is treading The path ol the deep;— There is beauty. But where is the beauty to see, Like the suit brilliant brow ofa nation when free? THE BLUSH. Was it nnholy ? —Surely no ! The tongue no purer thought enn speak, Ami from the heart n<> feeling flow More chaste titan brightens woman’s cheek. How oft we mark the deep tinged rose, Holt mantling where the lilly grew. No ■ deem that where such beauty blows A treacn’rous thorn’s concealed from view That thorn may touch S' me tender vein, Am) crimson o’er the wounded part! Unheeded, too, u transient pain, Will flush the cheek, and thrill me heart, On beau'y’s lids the gem like tear Ott sheds its evanescent ray, R it scarce is h en to sparkle, ere ’Tis cnaste by beaming smiles away! Just so the blti-h is formed—and flies— N"P ow ns refit ction’s calm < ontr >i— It comes—i. deepens—fades and dies! A gush ot Jetting from the soul! il? iscella neons. Fit »t t/p- S-.mhet Hanner.

The Indian tradition res pc tinfi the ot to in of these impressions, vanes. One tradtiion asserts that the world was once deluged with water, and man and all animated beings were destroyed, except one family, to gether with various . mmals necessary to re plenish the earth—th u the great Canoe first rested on this spot, and here the whole troop of animals was disembarked, leaving the impres sions as they passed over the rock, which be ing softem d by rear-on of long submersion kit illy received and retained them. Others believe a very sanguinary confl ct took place here, at a remote pt nod, between the Chero kees and Creeks, and that these images or hieroglypbtcs were made to commemorate the event. 1 hey fitmly aver that it always riins when any one visits the spot, as ic nature wept at the lecollection of the sad catastrophe which they were intended to com memorate.’’ The third and last tradition as serts it to be the sanctuary of the great spirit, who is so much provoked at the presumption of man in attempting to approach so near the throne of divine Majestv, that he commands the elements to proclaim Ins power attd indig nation by aw fill ihundertngs and lightning, ac companied by deluges ot rain, that his subjects may he kept in awe and fea.', and constrained to adore and venerate then God.

On the north and west, range after range oi lohy mountains, rise by regular gradation, <>n» above another, until they are lost in distance. On the east is the Troy Mountain, pcennt above the clouds, and giving use to several mighty rivers.

The rock on which these impres sions are made, is an imperfect species of Soap Stone, which mote than any other circumstan ce, induces us 'o believe it a production of art.
