THOM THE CONNECTICUT GAZETTE.
I LOVE to view from Fancy’s hill
That echoes to the bubbling rill,
Sweet nature dress’d in g 1 een;
The airy mound, the gloomy vale,
The forest trembling with the gale,
When distant clouds are seen.
The sun just peeping o’er the lawn,
To add new glories to the morn,
Angelic joys impart;
The transient dew that gives a glow,
Like tears that glisten while they flow,
Thrill rapture through the heart.
Blue rising waves that lash the shore,
The distant dashing of the oar,
With sea-boys’ doleful cry ;
The level beach at times unseen,
And almost viewless Islands, when
Fogs o'er the tcexn fly.
Broad precipices, where the roar
Os broken waters sullen pour
Adown their craggy sides;
Deep glens and mountains, far and hear,
,iluJe fountains streaming smooth and dear,
blow stealing with the tde.
The ruin’d fortress from afar,
That shews the bloody fiend of war
Once rul’d in triumph there ;
Where spires and turrets proudly soar,
With billows foaming round its shore,
And tapers haunted glare.
That point that’s in the ocean lost,
Where barks are often madly tost,
When heaven and earth combine
To fright mankind; when torrents pour,
When lightnings gleam and thunders roar,
To prove a pow’r divine.
Snth natural beauties thus combin’d,
Give pleasure to the virtuous mind,
And fill tilt soul with joy ;
Far sweeter than the sensual bliss,
Os rude embrace and wanton kiss,
That charm but to destroy.
What are the charms of fleeting fame,
The honors of a titled name,
Which wealth alone bestows;
And what are riches, whu» is power,
Unless they give the tranquil hour,
That virtue only knows.

S TAR is undoubtedly as sure a foal
getter as any horse whatever. The con

colts are much remarked and well
worth the attention of breeders and lov
ers of the turf. Two hundred acres of
as good pasturage as any in the state,
gratis.—Grain will be furnished at the
market price, and mares fed as their
owners may direct.—No responsibility
in case of accidents or escapes—every
precaution will be taken to prevent ei

had of Mr. James LevitigslTn, at

Edgefield Court-House, or of the sub
scriber at his residence in Edgefield
District, Soutii-Carolina.
There are few, if any, of the En
glish grass seeds adapted to our south
ern climate ; hence arises the scarcity
in our markets of a number of neces
saries of life, which this grass is calcu
lated to remove, as it appears to be pe-
culiar to our climate, and well worthy
the attention of farmers ; it will grow
on any kind of soil, and will not only
yield a large quantity of Hay in the
summer, but will answer an excellent
purpose for winter grazing.
