SUMMER.
There is n calm, sweet spirit breathing here
About those summer semes—of earth und sky.
The .arth is beautiful in her attire
Os verdant green, and incense-breathing (lowers :
Her mountain summits peering to the stars,
Her quiet valleys, slumbering in the shade—
I ler rivers of pure crystal;—and the songs,
With which her troves are vocal, melt away
Into the music in’ spheres.
Is it the attitude and voice of praise
She lifts to her Creator 1 On the hills,
And in the valleys nnd among the groves,
Is nature worshipping, with nil her tongues,
The unseen Spirit of the universe \
It must he so. And ye, far, silent stars,
Sweet sentinels on the outposts of time.
Keep ye her vigils 1 Are ye posted there,
Her ministering spirits, to bear up
On wings of light the tribute ofher praise,
And bringdown Heaven’s rich blessings in return?
Beautiful universe l spread out alar
Beyond the reach of thought on every side,
Bearing, where’er the soul would take its flight,
The impress of His beauty und His power
Wno called you into being, and affixed
The seal of his own glory on your brow !
I’ve gr.z and upon you (ill this world became
Ave ry point —and still, far, fur beyond,
Before the imagination, brightly rose
Creation on creation.
What is man,
I asked, with all hispowCfst Creation's lord
They call him—und lie trends the flowering fields,
And climbs the hills, und in the quiet vales,
Bends him to listen to the music there—
Brushes, at dawn, the dewy copse, and bathes
His fevered brow ut noon, in the cool fount ;
Looks out at evening on tho coronet.
Os gem that binds the azure brow of Heaven—
And sleeps, at morning, in a nameless grave!
Or, numbering out his most extended span,
And left, amid the wreck of all beloved,
Save Hope, lights him on—A fleet ion’s chain
So fondly bound übout bis heart in youth,
Severed in broken links—his summer gone,
His gray hairs come, in sorrow, down to death !
This glorious universe of earth and sky,
And , nuns and systems pass from change to change.
With beauty unimpaired—but he. is gone !
The frailest ofher flowers outlive him oft.
Nature’s rich bosom swells with silent joy,
The stau shine on in peace—tliesun on wings
Qfilifcili •as glory keeps his joyous way—
And all is lmppy—but this lord of all!
No he pauses and repents ;
“Oh what a mystery to man—is man!’
BnUoi u voice speaks out —n vision comes—
Ami with it other worlds, another home —
A higher service, and a nobler song!
The scene is changed; this bright and teeming
earth,
All redolent of life, from age to age,
Follows the tract of time—till, worn and old,
Tho long, long records of its centuries lost,
It sinks forever ; and the sun and stars
Arc blotted out of being. But afar,
Fresh as the blush of spring, in glowing youth,
The immortal spirit gazes on the wreck
Os all that seemed eternal—but itself!
I such the glorious destiny of man,
The image of his Maker 1 When the storms
Os his brief night of trial shall be o’er,
Opens before him an eternal duy 1
Does he thus melt, like a sweet star, that o’er
The mountain trembles, at the dawn ofduy,
Softly away into the light of Heaven ‘!
Let God he praised—und to his unsurpassed
And boundless goodness be the glory given !

LEONARDO THE MONK.
Ttiink’stthou this sable suit cun keep oat love?
No, fairr'irl, it burns within this breast of mine,
As Emu’s crater does.
The tapers which burned before the shrine
of the saint, and which threw an unearthly
light through the Chapel of Saint Luke, s rved
to discover the monk Leonardo and the beau
tiful .Matilda in deep Hut low converse, seated
cm the steps of the altar. The monk had ap
parently seen more grief than years, for, with
j the exception of a grief worn face, in the spring
time of life, and indeed the long black curls
which clustered around his brow, might have
marked him for one not grown to manhood.
Me was clad in the monkish robe, and never
did the face more plainly say, behold the min
ister of God; his countenance was beautiful,
and Ids eye scented formed to command. Ma
tilda was the very form and mould of beauty.
Italy could not boast Iter superior : her black
arched eye brows and eye lashes, her dark
and rolling eyes shot fire as she gaz'd upon
the monk ; she seemed formed to inhabit other
climes than those of sot row and affliction.
“Leonardo, it is not well that thou shouldst
bemoan thyself by looking on one such as
mysejf; thou art good and in the service of
thy God, and shall a worm like me draw from
his service one like thee, Leonardo ?” said the
beautiful Matilda, as her eyes gazed upon the
monk.
“Kind girl of my heart,” said Leonardo, “1
have other and worst reproach than that cf I
casting from tne this sable garb of monkish j
foolery.”
“But thou art of the highest order; thou art j
looked upon by those around thee as the par
agon of excellence ; thou artconstdered as the
brightest jewel of the church.”
“Fools ! they know not that the calm and
smetified brow of man may cover a heart
knotted around with hissing vipers. They
know not that the mouth may smile, whilst
molten lead is scorching up the brain ; they
know not that man may seem a saint, when
most he plays the devil; they know not that
Leonardo’s piety is mockery.”
“Dost speak true, Leonardo said the girl,
as bhc studied his features.
“Ajt, MutiWla saiil the n onk; “I nm not
wltut 1 tun. I couio Intlier to bury my mime
in oblivion,nnd thou lond gifl have vet to learn
who ami wlml I am.” lie paused mid gazed
for a moment lull upon Iter luce. ‘'Tell me,
Matilda, if I should tell time that shame and
reproach wete heaped upon my name—dis
honour und poverty lo lowed me Iroin curly
days, what wouidst think ?”
“Think ofit ts past, und yet love thee ?”
“What, if I were lo tell thee I am outlaw ?”
“Still I would love thee I” said the tremb
ling girl. •
“Suppose a sentenced felon l ’
“I'd love thee still!”
“What, if ye had proofthat these hands once
were red with the blood of a human being.”
“I could It we no st eh proof! and if I could,
and thy mime was dotihtly stained, and thou
sunk to Ihe lowest tide of dishonour, I still
would love thee, though thutlove should smite
.me to the earth u stiffened corpse; tlioti
•knowost, Leonardo, Matilda’s love cun never
lie quenched, t. . would the brighter but n
with all these cliu ge heaped upon thy
name.” |
•‘Girl of my souH’hsnid the monk, as he em
braced bet in his arms. A few ntonn i'ffs pus- |
sed in tears when the monk aroused himself
and, said “Listen, Matilda, my love, and I will
repeat the story of m. A w rongs.
“Some years ago, t.nilst at a foreign court
surrounded by honor and rank, I became ac
quainted with Count lie Lara, who held some
minor office under the king. He Lara was to
the eye, u unin of sterling worth und generous
soul; he might he catted an accomplished
courtier. lut first was pleased with hint, and
sought liis society for more reasons titan re.
The count hud under liis protection the v. ,<I w
of liis deceased brother—the young and beau
tiful Countess Isoht. Site was presented nt
court, and from that moment every eye gazed
upon her w iili admiration. She was beautiful
as thou art, Matilda, and, in truth, may be said
to bear her image
I loved her iroin the first moment we met,
and I saw with delight that she was iiof un
mindful of it, therefore persisted, though the
count had cunged and taken his real shape, and
I now saw the man 1 thought virtuous and
good, to be a smiling ,yilliun ; he could coin
honied words, emorucc, then stab you, love
and hate you —in u word, he was made up of
malice, envy, and haired. He, knew f hud
searched him out, mid from that moment he
plotted my ruin. Some weeks elapsed from
my first introduction to the countess, when
one day, during a conversation between Hie
count and myself, some cutting words passed
—lie challenged me— we fought—the count
foil slightly wounded, and expressed himself
satisfied. From that iimo the count changed
liis manners towards me, but l was not to be
deceived. 1 knew what brooded in his dark
soul. I became more intimate with the coun
tess and soon won her confidence. The count
seemed pleased, but well 1 knew he only feigned
it, for lie 100 loved the countess, but with no
such love as I bore towards IteV and Iter infant
daughter. I loved Iter more than tongue call
and. scribe—but I must speed my story. Sud
denly the countess was missed, no one pew of
iter; Every place, was searched, butiu vain.
I slept not from morn till night—l searched
every where. One evening niter a f. uitless
search, I returned to my room and found
Count De Lara with officers of justice; they
jtad just opened trty csciuloire, and drew from
it a blood-covered dagger, and some jewels be
longing to tile countess. Tutu not pale, Ma
tilda ; not u word—not a g.oan came from me;
I was as the marble statue, tearless, passion
less, und stern ; even the curred villtan Do
Lara did not move roe. The proof was found
sufficient: 1 was bound hand und foot and cast
into a dark dungeon, as a murderous felon;
deatli was my doom at first, hut the sentence
was changed to perpetual imprisonment. Two
years elapsed, nnd I escaped once more broahed
the free air— once more guued upon the bright
sun. I sought De Lara; he had gone, I knew
not whither, but my revenge, hud not passed
away, i returned to the laud of my birth. All
I held dear were dead; I fell myself to he but
a blot in creation. I rose from the earth and
vowed lo take the monastic garb! 1 cante
hither and thou, like a ministering angel, stood
in ttty path. I spring into anew existence,
and usim rose in my troubled sky. 1 will leave
these dark cells, and thou, Matilda, shall guide
my foot steps where thou pleases!—we will be
one.”
“Then it shall he in the grave, vile slave!”
said an angry voice, as the figure of one dad
in black rushed from behind a column in the
aisle.
“iloiy v’iigiu ! It is my uncle,” said the
affrighted girl, as she clung to live arm of the
monk.
“Fear nothing,” said Leonardo; “1 will pro
tect thee.—Who art thou that tints dare in
trude?” continued Leonardo, addressing the
figure in hifo-k. ,
“Thou shall know to thy sorrow., vile slave!
said the figure advancing. “Who art thou
that has dared to talk oflove to the niece ot
Castilla? Thou art some hypocrite! some,
low born •knave / some villtan, who would
raise his sunken name by making this girl his
victim. Down, base pandor, on thy knees and
ask forgiveness, or this sanctuary shall not pro
tect thee !”
Leonardo stood calm and firm, regarding
him with contempt, then erecting hintseif in
all his majesty, said,
“Count De Lara, thou hast asked who ana
what f am. I will tell you. lantaman. Like
thyself, Italy’s noblest blood flows in my veins,
only that lamof a loftier race than thou. Yes,
•he man w horn thou has branded usa low slave,
knows thee well. Thou art not Castilla, but
the Count De Lara, and I am tlte Frineo Ai
ntouda!”
As if the lust trump had been blown to sum
mon him from earth, the Count grew pal • and
I ghastly as he muttered —“Almonda, Fi
Almonda!”
“Art not a murderer, De Lara?” continued
the Prince.
Siowly the Cotint raised liis eyes—they were
like the arch fiend’s—he with an effort gained
ncrve —be came forward with his hand upon
his dagger. .
“Thou shall not kill him, uncle, he is my
bethroded husband,” said Matilda, us she stood
between the Prince and heruucle’s wrath.
“.Stand off girl!” shouted tlte Count, impa
tiently, “I would rather sacrifice, ye l>oth, but
he is the object of my hate, he shall die!”
“He shall not die !” answered an unea'’* v -J'r
voice.—“ Hold! rash man, and •’

dark, save the glimmering light from a solita
ry taper. . _
“Hu! my brain is on fire.—Arch fiend, 1
conic. I have blown thefirc oflove too hot--

Count De Lara was no more ! he lay a cold
corse upon ihe marble aisle of St. Luke’s.
“Come love,” said the Prince, “let us from the
chamber of death, nnd when to morrow’s sun
shall lend his light, we will be otic.” They
left tlte chapel hand in hand, and the morrow
saw Matilda the Princess Almonda.
Getting on board the Great West*
eun. — When thi apledid steam
came to New Yor’% it was difficulty to get
on board of Iter, unless by special invit •
tion, or an order from the agent’s oilhge.
An tip-lhe-lake friend of ours, in coinpa. ■•••
with too New Y-. went tip to h#fotfm.l
tried to gel admitted, but wfTi<jut success.
Our Dunkirk friend said to them, “I can
gel on board that steamer.”
“No you can’t,” his ilicnds replied;
“they would let us pass, if tkey would auy
body.”
“ Well—stand by, and see me try.”
Our friend is a short, thick set., good
looking man, forty about—say thirty five.
He put liis ivory headed cane uniter his
left arm, and holding his pencil and mem
orandum book in his hands, walked care
fully up the plank.
“I suppose I can take a look at the inside
of this vessel,” said ho to the officer on
duty.
“Our orders are peremptory to admit no
one.”
“Well—l don’t care a d—n stranger, ott
my own account; but my father was very
anxious i should bring him a description.”
“Your father—who, sir—is he a public
officer?”
“Well, yes—l rather reckon he is- My
father is Governor of Kentucky !”
“Walk abord, sir; are those gentlemen
friends of yours?” asked the sentry'. The
son of the Governor of Kentucky looked
slowly around to his companions, who were
silently admiring liis cool audacity, and
taking a deliberate survey of them, told the
officer that he did not boubtbut that they
were very respectable people, but they had
not the honor of liis acquaintance.

Tn most of the lesser productions of our
times, tlte re is an under current of ridicule,
intended against the reader or the subject,
as if the writer did not depend for conse
quence upon his profession, but had some
other source of dignity in reserve,’ and
would wish, like Congreve, to be regarded
as a fine gentleman. None with such a
feeling should ever become an author ; for
whoever believes himself above tlte regard
arising from tlte reputation of a great write*
is unworthy of being ruuked at ail among
authors. No man was ever great in the
republic of letters, who did not conceive its
honors worthy • f the most serious pursuit.
R HLioious Zeal. —The zeal of Christi
an ity should never forsake tlte mild spirit
of its fundamental principles; in the excess
of its warmest enthusiasm, it should lie
tempered by charity, guided by season, and
regulated by possibility. Forsakenby these,
it ceases to be the zeal of religion, and
becomes tlte spirit of fanaticism, tending
only to sever man from man, and to mul
tiply tho artificial sources of aversion by
whicli human society is divided, and human
happiness destroyed. Too often has the
cross been raised under the influence of a
sentiment diametrically oppifitc to the
spirit of the doctrine of him who suffered
on it, and who came n&t to but to
save mankind. Too often bus it been rais
ed by those whose minds were guided bv
an evil and interested policy, fata] to the
effects which it sought to accomplish, and
who lifted to heaven, hands stained with
the blood of those to whom they had been
sent to preach the religion of peace, oflove
and of salvation ; for even the zeal of re
ligion, when animated by human passions,
may become fatal in its excess, and that
during fanaticism which gives force and
activity to the courage of the man, may
render roeroiloss and atrocious the zeal of
the bigot.
Woman.—O, woman! nature which
made you fair, made you loveliest in the
expression of her best feeling; and the
most perfect loveliness of a cold insensi
bility becomes revolting and dyformed,
compared to the intelligence of beauty,
which rushes upon the countenance from
the heart that is filled with a pure nnd ar
dent affection: then thought breathes upon
tlie lip, independent of sound ; and the eye
images in a glance all that the soul could
feel ill an age !
