FREEMAN, doc 8 [FOR THE SnL’THKRV TRIBUNE-] A CHAPTER IX LIFE. From an unpublished Poem entitled the "Spirit Land." BY OLIVET. “The gentle breeze that swept Casthea Lake, Rendering cool and sweet autumnal hours. And bade the forest trees gracefully shake Their lofty heads-that nursed the fragile flowers Blooming around a host of tiny bowers. Made by the bands of innocence and youth— First fanned my ruddy cheek, and cooled my play. When hot and panting, ‘ninth the Summer’s scorching ray. “Full blithe and gay was I, a boy of ten, Free from the load of dark, oppressive care, Whilst wand'ring over hill, and dale, and fen, 1 and my comrades, fur we thought not where We strayed, so long as happiness was there ! We climbed the Dec-tops ; scouted the country round ; Or chased the wary hare, as forth it sprang From out its burrough, and with shouts the forest rang, "As over ditch, and hedge, and fallen tree We leaped, intent upon our nimble g3tne; Till iu some crevice that we did not see, The rabbit bid itself; then sore, and lame, We stopped to hunt for it, in ardor same As when we first commenced the lengthy diase, — r I ill hope forsook us, and we slowly turned Homeward, without the spoil we had so tidily earned. “And oft we'd marshal up a youthful hand, Each half opposing each ; threw up our beds Os flimsy breast-works, madeof wetted sand ; Placed paper-caps upon our warrior beads ; Unfurled our slender flag, prepared of shreds Os paper, fastened to a wicket’s staff; — Then with a monstrous cane for our big-gun, And stalks for small arms, bravely fought till set of sun. “Now, some rare genius would a boat invent, And put it on the water’s edge to sail— So when we saw it, every urchin went To make one ; nor knew we what ’uvas to fail, For scarce a day passed o’er, ere each would hail His neighbor’s sight, with a timorous bark. Which, he asserted, needed but a seat Upon the waves, to sail as well as any fleet. “I hen throwing boat and armor all asiJe, We stood upon the water’s crystal brink, And skipped the flattest stones upon the tide, And him the conqueror we there would think Whose rock would strike theoftenest ere Iwould sink. And thus, 'midst war, and boats, and the clear stream, We whiled away, free from life’s haggard fears, and lie beauty and the bloom of short and guileless years. “But soon these scenes hail changed ; my boyish sport And past companionship were lost: A friend had learned me a m- re solid soil Os happiness ; that friend I valued most 'Mongst all the treasures Providence had tossed Into the lap of eaitlily luxury— Need I to mention who that friend could be ? Eulalja f ah ! that name is known too well to me ! “She was, methnught, a being from the air Above us, for neither a distant dime, Nor earth, could boast a maiden half so fair. Her form was gracefulness, her charms sublime, And oft I wept to think that sullen Time Could haie the power to scatter to the winds That which 1 called her beauty, yet not this It was, that often augured disappointed bliss. “Now we alone, amidst the forest wrought, Beneath a grove, an arbor trim and neat, Wherein we lived, and learned a language taught By happy birds that warbled o'er our seat; Or gentle zephyrs whispered, when the heat They fanned into a balmy pleasantness ; Or that was sighed by verdant forest tries, Which bowed and nodded, as they kissed the friendly (freeze. “That language was none other than pure love, Although we knew it by no titled name,— We were so happy, that we never strove To ascertain the cause ; it were but lame Attempt to prove the means, but to inflame Our intellects to a quite useless task. But it sufficed us, that ’twas pleasure’s glow. We dreamed, nor wished for greater happiness below. “So lived we in that sweet and joyous home, Nor feared an evil day ; a sadden'd look Was never ours, save when one failed to come To our retreat; we thought we ne’er should brook The faithlessness of man; we ®evcr took A lesson for our mutual benefit, From daily scenes of love’s unfaithful vow We suffered not a careful thought to mark our brow. “But who can tell the deep vicissitudes That chequer o’er the vain and sordid wotld ? What mortal can foresee the multitudes Os mishaps and of dangers, that are furled Around os I —and how often are men hurled From the dizziest height of happiness Down to a wretchedness of all most low, Yet never shun the precipice o’er which they go * "Jig- .Si— m WSS9 BOOK AND JOB PRINTING Will be executed in the neeitist style, and upon the mostfutorublt terms, a! the Office of the.

In which I strove and prayed iri vain to die, For jaded nature yet was much too strong To fall a victim to disease ; and I With kind attention was restored, to try A little longer life’s most troubled scetics ; But when l dared to look upon that child, A tremor shook my frame, my thoughts confused and wild. “lie had grown up, an active, prattling boy, When it* a fit of pbrenzy, by the shore Os that once happy lake, with findish joy I seized and tossed him screaming loudly o'er Into deep water, whence he rose no more !
