SONNET—FROM THE SPANISH.
VAINLY bursts this foolish heart—
Love has pierced it through and through,
Yet for nought my peace departs—
Emma scorns my passion true.
Hope for me ’a no joys in store—
Pleasure glides beyond my reach—
Dark Despair shall evermote *
Her corrodinjj lessons teach.
Peace with Emma’s fled away,
Hope is banish'd from my heart—
Nevermore will Flora gay, .
To my breast her joys impart.
Cruel Emma why has Fate
More than mortal made your form,
Yetyour bosom filled with bate,
For the youth whose love’a so warm.
through the silent groves that rise
On tbe margin of yon lake,
There to ease rpy heart in sighs,
Oft a lonely walk I take.
All the day I sigh and moan;
All the night I gleepless pine;
Morning brings to me no dawn—
Time can cure all griefs but mine.
Ne’er can I my pains reveal, .
Never dare I speak of love,
Emma’s heart can never feel—
It my anguish cannot move.

IMPROMTU ON WASTE.
BT THE LATE EDWARD KNIGHT, ESq
Oh! waste thou not the smallest thing
Created by Divinity;
For grains of sand the mountains make,
And atomies infinity.
Waste thou not then tlie smallest time,
'TIs imbecile infirmity,
For well thou know’st, if aught thou know’st,
Thatseccnds form eternity.
From the Richmond Whig.
THE WAGONER.
I’ve often thought if I were ask'd,
Whose lot 1 envied most,
What one I thought most likely tasked
Of man’s unnumbered host.
I’d say, I'd be a mountain boy,...
And drive a doble team, wo-uo]t!
Wo-hojM I'd cry,
And lightly fly
Into my saddle seat;
My rciiLl'd slack
My whipTd crack,
What music is so aweet!
Six blacks I’d drive of ample chest,
All carrying high the head,
All Harness’d light and gaily drest
In winkers tipp’d with red.
Oh yes, I’d be a mountain boy,
Aud such a team l‘d drive, wo-hoy!
Wo-hoy! rd cry,
The lint should fly;
Wo-hoy, Dobbin!—Ball!
Their feet should ring
And I would sing, •
. I’d sing my/al de rat.
My bells would tingle, tingle-ling,
Beneath each bearskin cap,
And as I saw them swipg and swing,'
I’d be the merriest chap;
Yes, then I’d be a mountain boy,
And drive a jingling team wo-hoy!
Wo-hoy! I’d cry, 1
My words should .fly,
Each horse would prick his ear,
With tighten’d chain,
My lumbering wain, . y <’
Would move in its career.'
The golden sparks you'd see them spring
Beneath my horses’ tread,
Each tail Pd braid it up with string
Of blue or flaunting red:
So does you know tba mountain boy
Who drives his dafliiug'tenmi wo-hoy (
Wo-ho! I’d cry, .
Each horse's eye,
With fire should seem t6 bum,
.With lifted hea'd
Ajtd qostril spread,
They’d seem the earth to spurn.
They'd champ the bit and fling the foam,
As on they dragged my load, - •
And I would think of distant home,
And whistle upon tbe road. 1 ‘
Oh would I were a mountain bey,
And drove a six. horse team wo-hoy!
Wo-hoy! I’d cry I
Now by yon sky,
I'd sooneq drive those steeds,
Than win renown,
Or wear a crown,
Won by victorious deeds.
For crowns oft press tho languid head,
And health the wearer shuns, >
And victory trampling on the dead,
May do for Goths amflluns. 1 *
Seek them who will—they have no joys,
For mountain lads and wagon boy>,
MISCELLANY.
From the National-Inteuigmur,.
Phrenological.—A. correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette, who happened to be at the
assembly of the People at the Mansion of tho
President oo New Year’s Day, improved .the
occasion by a scientific survey of the Presi
dent’s head. We copy Ills description of tbe
peculiarities of tlie capital proportions .of the
Presided, under an impression, however; that
the writer has adapted liis description rather to
hip idea ofthe individual than to the actual for
mation of tho head, which the dimlight aqd
thick crowd in tlio oval reception* room, could
have afTo'rded him but a slender opportunity of
observing. This phrenology, by thn way, if
there be any thing in it, is a curious science r
and tve should no more venture Aurscltm l
the company of a known adept in it, without a
hat, than in that of a cut purse withont a guard
upon our pockets: ,
“In front the head of Mr. Adams is largely-
developed over the eye-brows, ipdicaiing the
possession, in a high degree, of the acquiring
faculties. , Ascending from the ..eye-brows,
there appeared a handsome developcmeni of
the organ of individuality, which cxqrcised. iri
combination with the faculties below, ought to
make un historian, annsiroiiotper, u topograph
er, and a calculator. Above, tho forehead re
cedes, leaving apparently , little roopt for tffo,
organs of casuality and comparison, bait, oft a.
close observation these are really fuller .than ,
they appear to be, for they are contrasted dis
advantageous^ with tho higher organs, in their
neighborhood. Beyond the forehead, the or*,
gan of benevolence rises considerably Into no
tice, veneration Still higher, and then firmness ’
above all, tlie latter being one of the most re*,
markable dovelopements in his head. Accord
ing to phrenology, Mr. Adams ought never t.o-
tire or grow weary by labor, ought never re-,
pine in adversuy, nor become impatient in tri
al. At the samo time ho may be'inflexible iu
his opinions and obstinate in" his tempor. The
organs of camion aro very highly, developed; in
somuch tha^they appear in the skull like the-
roof of horns and immedia’ely before them aro
developed very handsomely tho organs of hope,-
and consciousness. I should suppose Mr. Ad
ams is not given to despondency, nor much
tempted to break the eighth commandment.
“In the back part of Ins head, there appears
a romaikable deficiency in. the organ designa
ted by selfesteem, love of applause, adhesive
ness, &c. It is impossible that Mr. Adams
can be a proud imui. He must bo of $ meek,
spirit. In uo head that I ever examined, mi-'
nutely, have I t/bserved so entire an absence. qC
vanity. Indeed it would seem from appeiirnn-,
ces, that he js .almost exempt from those pas
sions common to all creatures of whiefi we have
any .knowledge. He has been supposed irrila-.
bte. It cannot be. Ho has been reported
vehement res.cniineni, and somewhat pr6il(vto
