.< When coldness wraps this suffering clay,
Ah, whither strays the immortal mind ?
It cannot die, it cannot stay,
But leaves its blackened dust behind!”
[Byron-.
Dost thou, O ! immaterial thing,
Still to thy ruined temple cling ?
And sink with it below;
Or dost thou, like the mourning dove,
Rest on the vapory wing above,
And hover round in woe ?
Or dost tliou mount the fearful blast,
That howling snaps the quivering mast,
And muketh ocean roar,
And there, amid the living flash
Of lightning, and the thunder’s crash,
Through ether's lab’rinths soar:
Until its harsh and angry tone
Hath died into a plaintive moan,
That whispers through the trees ;
And tliou, upon the zephyr's wing,
Among the spangled flowers of spring,
Sip fragrance with the bees.
Mayhap to some deep, gloomy cave,
Where wizard torches light the wave
That putrid rolls beneath,
Where beam of day bath never strayed,
Nor breath of air hath never played,
Thou hast been borne by death.
Or to some island in the sea,
Far. far beyond the arctic key,
Yet unexplored by man ;
A little shady isle alone,
Wliero-one peculiar sun liath shone,
Since first the world began.
Where vocal fountains ceaseless gush.
And that sweet pinioned lyre, the thrush,
Breathes forth an endless song;
Where flowers from morn till evening blow,
And cloud hath ne'er obscured the glow,
Of heaven's resplendent throng.
Speak, Nature, and reveal to me—
Teach me, O, dread Eternity !
To know thy mystic bourne;
Thou gloomy bird, with broken beak,
And sable pinion, speak Death, speak !
Nor leave me thus forlorn.

Or is't but fancy in my ear,
That thus would me betray.’
It cometh like a dreamy note
Its echoes on my senses float,
And thus it seems to say:

Upon the brow of yonder height,

THE COUSINS.
A COUNTRY TALK.
One of the best stories we have lately
read is entitled, « The Cousins t a Country
Tale.” It is from the chaste pen of Miss
Mitford, an English authoress of some con
siderable reputation. The whole is too long
for one paper, and it is a story which it will
spoil to divide. The first half of the story,
like the bigger portions of Scott's novels, is
merely introductory to what follows. So we
will sum np the preparatory part in a few
words, and then give the document in Miss
Mitford's own beautiful language.
Lawyer Molesworth was a rich landlord
in Cramley, the native town of Miss Mitford.
He had two daughters, to whom his pleasant
house owed Its chief attraction. Agnes was
a beautiful womans Jessy was a pretty girl.
The fond father intended that Jessy should
marry a poor relation, one Charles Wood
ford. Charles had been brought up by his
uncle's kindness, and had recently returned
into the family from a great office in Lon
don. Charles was to be the immediate part
ner and eventual snccessor to the flourishing
business of his benefactor, whose regard
seemed fully justified by the excellent con
, the lucrative partnership to his penni- j mistaken in thinking me fit to fill a splcn-

her fopperies, was the very thing to be vain
of—the very thing to visit for a day. But

Then my grandfather took his hat and

.. Now, dear Rebecca,” he exclaimed,

merely appropriated the title to onr use
that, agreeably to the approved canons of

.« The defence of New Orleans is a promi
nent object in our military history. It closed
with the most brilliant success, a war under
taken in self defence, and whose progress
had been marked by signal disasters, as
well as by signal victories. It gave tone
to the national feeling and elevation to the
national character. But it lias other claints
to consideration still greater than these.—
It was a defensive victory, achieved prin*
oipally by a militia force, and altogether
by a force recently and hastily raised, with
little discipline and less experience. The
assailants were among the best troops of the
age, and flushed by recent success. And
they excelled their adversaries as much in
numbers as in practical discipline. A re*
pulse, under such circumstances, furnishes
a useful and cheering lesson. Whatever
tends to cheek the pride of conquest and to
give stability to nations is interesting to all
who look to human happiness as the true’
object of government and as the great end
of social institutions.”
******
« The geographical features of Louisiana
are peculiar and interesting, and if the na
ture of the country presents some mlcoifi-
mon difficulties to au invading foe, it offers
others which are not less so to defensive op
eration. The region traversed by the low
er Mississippi has been gained from the o-'
cean by the deposits borne down by the cur
rent of that river. During its annual in
undations its surface, when at the greatest
elevation, its considerably higher than its
natural banks ; and these, in their turn, are
higher than the land in their rear. Con
trary, therefore, to the usual fluvial foun
dations, there is an inclined 'plane, high
est at the river, and extending to the
swamps, which serve as a reservoir for the
water that escapes in the period of the in-
nnlation. Human labor and ingenuity-
have counteracted the operations of Nature,
and a dike or levee has been formed along
the river for a great distance, which pro
tects the land between the stream and thfl
swamp from the periodical freshets, occa
sioned by the falling of the rain, and by the
dissolution cf the snow in the immense trans-
AUeghany valley.
.. This dike or levee, frail as it apparent^
ly min its structure, has yet been fonnd suf
ficient to guard the habitations and thd
works of man from the danger which hangs
over them. It is, indeed, liable to occasion
al breaches; but these are generally re
paired without delay, or, if not, the water
passes in a considerable stream through the
inclined plane to the swamp, making in
deed a channel for itself, but extending its
ravages no further.

several approaches to the city of New Or

could alone guard against surprise. A dis

sequence of this st ate of things, as well as
general incertitude respecting the opera
