From tho National Intelligencer. 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 July, 1832. JKtsceUaua. From the Saturday Evening Post. 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.

These dissuasions nro ascri bed to Ihe pen of a popular and amiable poet. 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
