When gentle sleep her kb dly influence lends, '
T.» call in rairid our long lost absent friends,
SiVeet i* the dream, as evening’* mildest ray,.
Again to see the once loved features play;
To con each eye in burnished Beauty bright
o trace efich feature, decked in life and fight;
Td catch each ray, eacn kindling glance of love
Or thro' the dance, watch each light-footstep move
With graceful ease, and seeming airy tread
The Sylph like form, in twirling maze* led.
I’-'ich be ihe dreams recalling youthful joys,
Yet none deny tliesp, earlv pleasure cloys.
Fleeting as time with passing youth they fly,
Claiming no tribute save the urn onr.ious sigh;
Be other joy* nor theme, our sweetest biisa
To dream we feel the Warm connubial, kiss.

An oo its mother’s breas: wcseeif lay.
Dim in - in ampin stream tins pearly tide.
The pledge of love, by nature ne’er deny’di 3jjg •
Such be the dreams to glad a parents heart
Audo'er hit oul the calmest joys impart.
For who can trace the laughing infants wile
Or with indifference »fe its happy slnile.
Even absent, still will visions bring to view
Each lovely feature ns the mirror irue,
And as the Mother twines within her arms
The pledge of love. The father* bozmu warm* *,

The vision's gone, the form's dissolved in air.

FARMER’S SONG.
Away with g amleur/pomp and gold
. Away with childish case,
Give me but strength my plough to bold
And 1’U find means to please.
’Tis sweet to (oil for these we love t
My wile and dailing boys,
But tend to make my labor prove
The sweetest of my joy a.
The humble morsel, I procures
When labor make* it awret,
Is eaten with a taste more pure ,
Than meats that monarcfis eat.
-'Tis mine; yes, tis my happy lot,
. From cares and avarice fret*'
To own bat Uiiw secluded cot,
. - Sweet friends and liberty.
Thus I, no monarch on hi* throne
giudgehia destiny; '..'V*:*
Let him bis weight of care* bemoan,
Whilst 1 nui truly tree.
When labor wearie* and grow* dull,
" I, With my doe and gun, •
Set forth the finest game to cull,
And thus all sorrow’* ihun.

ded to the richness ufthe I in.-lscapo; wiule Ihe
villages of Wilkesharti', K ogsioo, Plynmuih*
tind some mhers cornpleied the view.
Ax we gazed, we thought of B indt and
Johnson, leading on their bloody brothren of
the forest,end their not less btno lv allies from
bo abodes of civilizuion, to massacre. Of
too bloody battle between the Botlor* we tho’l,
and ou eye rested on llio spot where stood the
foil, which cont.iiae-l the best bimi I of the v .1.
ley, ami was sacked, d^fhose scenes have DesV*
ed, and in tlio place nfwar, there is peace ami
the pe cefbl e.rts. The objec most worthy o
curiosity here is the exietistve coal formation,
of which the Lehigh Coal mines, before men.
• .otieil, are a part. This valley liu.-r.dly lie*
on a bed of coal { for, dig any where—in lit*
mountain, on the Bit*, or in tin 1 bed'of the riv*
. r, and coal is soon found. There are two •
principal mines worked, one in Wilkesturce,
md the oilier in Plymouih. A description of
; the former Will suffice for bolh. The mine lies
: near the base of tint mountain. First is a
depth of soil, covered with'a growth -f wood ;
next, horizontal strata of slate, often feet thick
ness, und filled with vegetable impressions.—
iWe readily distinguished among these, the
-leaves of thw.fern arid fljg; besides these, were
i gi#at variety of species, of which noire can
give an itccnunl, only ill n they do not belong
to the present vegetable world. All ihese
’loaves, in their position, observed the same or-
dei,—lying horizontally, aud perfectly spread
‘ out, as if they had been carelolly laid down,
and successive Iiinime of slain placed upon
them. Underneath the relate is the coal, m a
1 liorizonital bed, twemy-ievenfept in thickw«*,.
with u layer of slate, half in inch in thickm-s*,
' occurring oncft.iii tivelve or eighteen inches.— •
S . cmupici is the coal, that drilling md Mist
ing must Im employed to throw it oul. Tbo '
appearance-of tu mine present* a novel sight.
The excavation is so in in 'god, that large pillars
of the coal, six leet in diameter, are left stand
ing, at suitable distances, to support the sopar*
incumbent loof ofslite and fores’, trees,so th it
a stranger tothe object ofthe excavation, look*
ing at the'cnpacious black roof with iis rows .if
black pillars;-tnighl mistake itTo* thr* vestihnlo
ofsnmte giant's castle. The odptir-of sulphur,-
by which the whole coal Is impregnated is v« y
p wmtiil in ihe mine.
