THE DEVOTED CITY.
(Jo ye not there—go ye not there—
Though the roues bloom, and the akv is fair:
*Tisa lovely spot on the sunny enrth,
Rut n curse hangs over its thoughtless mirth ;
The breath ofthe pestilence fills the air—
Go ye not there—go ye not there!
See you von rns’lc'* frowning tower,
Thai lias dared the storm in its fiercest power;
The tainted breeze sweeps slowly by,
Where turretrd walls arorear'd on high ;
And a cry is heard—for dentil is come,
In his fearful might, to the warrior's home.
There are glittering lights in the palace hail,
Where thegav have met tor the festival:
Thu perfum'd urns with flowers are crowned ;
The sparkling g iblet passes round ;
And (lie harp's full chord coincs swelling on,
In the thrilling numbers oflofty song.
Aye fill the parting wine-cup high—
Vou meet no more for revelry;
Yo have looked your last on the pictured walla—
Yu pass fiom the proud ancestral halls
To return no more; for the evening air
lias tanned your brow—and Death is there !
Thu lovely are met in the dancing room,
With their brilliant eyes, and flushing bloom ;
Amid festoon’d columns th**y lightly tread ;
An<i the scented lamps their fragrance shed
O'er their gruceful forms, like the breath of morn
On the bounding steps of tho woodland fawn.
Yu part in smiles—but yo meet no more;
Your step is lost from the chequer'd floor;
The bright and the beautiful pass away,
From the ball room's glow, to lliu grave's decay;
Spring flowers were wreath'd round the fair young
brow,
That in death's last sleep lies mouldering now.
When ahall ye wake from that sleep ngain ?
Fair ones and dear ones I they call ye in vain:
The cold pale forehead ilieir lips may pres*—
Alas! ye return not the warm care**,
Life with the spirit has passed away—
To the tomb—to the tomb—with the senseless clay.
Go ye not there—go ye not there—
Though the lip its winning smile may wear,
Though the cheek with health's rich crimson glows,
»Tis the parting brilliancy sunset throws ;
They lade at the breath of the poison'd air—
Go yo not there—go y et not there f

THE MEETING.
A Scene from Pollock's Course of Time.
DY MISS BROWNER.
It was an evo of beauty and glory—autumn
had flung its holiest mood ovor Ihe faco of cre
ation ; the rich corn fluids bathed in Ihe pure
silver brightness of t lie moon, stood ready for
the renper’s gathering hand; the lowing of the
herds was hnurd no more in tho plains, and
ihe winds slept profoundly in the mysterious
caverns ; it seemed as though nature wus si-
lenlly contemplating tho perfection, and ador
ing the wisdom and greatness of its heiufleent
Creator. Now and then nn aged leaf, trem
bling from its kindred hrnnrh. tell to the earth,
and ns it seemed to whisper poor mortality to
pause nnd refleet on her coming! On wood
nnd vale, and Inke nnd mountain, heavenly
thought sat, arranged in all Iter pensive gar.
ments, and holding sweet communion with
herself. Bright Vesper looked out from her
western hermitage, und smiled serenely on
the quiet world below, while the full nnd un
clouded moon rode up in the eastern heaven,
in her ehnriot of stars nnd looked so intensely,
and yet so divinely on the enrth, that a ho-
mg of some sphere mig'd well have imagined
that she beheld something of colo tial origin.
Such, so beautiful, so lovely.was Ihe night,
when beside a hermit thorn which stood on a
hill, nnd had seen a hundred flower ages puss,
kneeled a bright creature of earth, to offer up
her nightly prayer, to him who over listens to
the virtuous. T his ancient thorn had long
been love's dearest meeting place, and here
find two young hearts often poured out the
depth ol ilieir affection, nnd vowed eternal con
stancy. Bui she the pride of Albino’s - sons,
was such as tho dreams of angels sometimes
portray, now knell alone in thnt consecrated
spot, unseen, save by the groat all-seeing eye,
nnd sought most fervently, this one, this only
boon,
' Her lover's safety, and his quick return.'
She knelt in humble altitude, and to her
bosom, as fair ns a moon beam, she pressed
one hand, while the other was uplifted towards
heaven ; her steady «ye, bright as Ihe star of
morn, streamed with excessive ardor, nnd
seemed to waft the earnest heart upward to
heaven; her voice scarce utterred, was soft,
as tho timid Zephyr's breathings, yet it tins
heard at tho throne of eternal mercy. The
moon looked smilingly upon her, while the
stars glanced downward with unusuul bright
ness, and everlasting love, seemed, from the
serenely of the world, to give grncious audi
ence to her sineero devotion.
Oh! could her lover have gazed on her at
that moment, could he have beheld her thus
alone, nnd earnestly wrestling with her God,
for him} how would his ardent Sou! hnve
gushed out with holy nflection*—How would j
he hnve clasped her >n his heart, anil entreated
heaven to multiply to hcrsolf, tlm blessing*
she hud so fervently asked for him. Indeed,
he did behold her! and thus docs providence,
not 'infrequently surprise tho fervent prayer of
faith, with an immediate reply. He hsd come
crowned with glory, won by righteous actions,
[ and covered with the bright wreath of well
earned I'nnic; he had come in all the qrdor
and constancy of his youthful flame, to fulfil
his vow, nnd share his rich honors with her
who hud so devotedly remembered him—she
heard not his approaching footsteps, for Iter
thoughts were in heaven.
Oh ! who shall dure invade Ihe secret cham
ber of his heart, and utter foLrtli tvhat passed
there, ns he gnzed silently on his henutiful hot.
frothed nnd Isiencd In the low murmur of her
lips. All holy images of the enrth, seemed
ton impure to embalm her perfections ; tho
image of a seraph—a thing all brightness and
purity, kneeling before tho eternal throne, and
imploring a blessing on his friend, pleased
best the purity of his soul. This thought was
full of sweetness ; hilt oh ! ho.v much sweeter
was the remembrance, that with all her perfec
tions, she was still an earthly being, formed
for himself, nnd the plighted companion of his
future life.
At length amidst her devotions, she breath
ed his (mine—he instantly responded, by re
pealing her own; the spell wus now dissolved
they met in nno long—long embraco, and
the fervent kiss told hew doulinglv the heart
brooded over its treasure. The bright spirits
of love now ministered about them; nature
looked calmer nnd purer, nnd heaven seemed
to bless the holy joy by it* approving smile.
Oh I how sweet must such a meeting be,
in such a place, and on such an occnsion ; in
vain may the pencil strive In sketch, and the
Imagination to portray it; its chnrni lives only
in tho gushes of the iienrl—in those unuttera
ble feelings which pour themselves out upon a
beloved object, nnd mingle with the rich stream
of reciproculed affection.
Who has not heard of n Jirst love ? nnd who,
at tho age of twenty live. Inis not fell its un
conquerable charm? Indeed, tlioro may be
those who disregird the influence of the tender
passion, nnd believe it to he a mere phantom
ofthe poet's brain; hut he who ban felt the
deep stream of bliss which it pours upon tho
heart, nnd drank the celestial intoxicating
draught, knows it to he something—and some
thing too ns powerful as tho springs of life,
nnd no less enduring. Yo may open the dar
kest envorns of misforluno—ye may crush ev
ery cherished hope, and wring tho very heart
from the body, but ye cannot put out that un
earthly spark. When it has ouco been kindled
—it may not burn with such holy brightness
ns at fir-t—neglect and scorn may fling a shad
ow over its lustre, hut it will still live on—
noilhcrwill it perish with its ob|ecl—tho grave,
the cold dark grnvo, may enrap the beloved
one, but tho deathless flume will still burn on
1 more hnllotved when its hope is fled.’
Happy, thrice happy, are those whoso souls
meet and mingle in tho mysterious union of
sentiment, nnd whose hearts blond sweetly to
gether in tho deep nnd eternal harmony—they
above all are destined to enjoy the only hu
man bliss that survived man’s fatal full, and to
feel u foretaste of that heavenly union nf spirit,
which is as complete in its noturo as n sinless
perfection can mnk it, and ns unchanging and
imperishable os the prumisos of the great eter
nal.

Study of Nature.—However thoughtlessly
we may proceed "long in our daily walks, there
i-yet a world of wonder around us that hits
astonished philosiphers, and is sufficient to
excite the curiosity of angels. There is order
in every thing. The little worm wo tread on
Ims its instincts, its manners or its habitndea;
it is a link in that chain of being which rise*
from the dust nnd ascends higher than the eye
of mar, can travel. The bird, the fish and
