POETIC CORRESPONDENCE.
Although the following lines are copied from a Lady’s
Album, let not the grave reader pass them over as “trifles
light as air.” The name of the gentleman will be suffi
cient to induce the reader to peruse his verses with inter
est. The name of the lady we are not permitted to ex
pose before the broad gaze of the gazette-reading world;
but her lines will recommend themselves without a name.
We think, indeed, they suffer nothing from Comparison,
in being placed along side of those oi the author of the
“Star-spangled Banner.”
TO MR. F. S. KEY’.
Thanks, gentle fairy, now my Album take
And place it on his table e’er he w ake,
Then whisper, that a maiden, all unknown,
Claims from the poet’s hand a trifling boon:
Trifling, perchance to him, but oh! not so
To her whose heart has thrilled long, long ago,
As his inspiring lays came to her ear,
Lending the stranger's name an interest dear,
A timid girl may yet be bold t’ admire
The Poet’s fervor and the Patriot’s fire:—
But .tis not these, though magical their power,
They cannot brighten woman’s sadden’d hours,
When all life’s pathways are bereft of flowers.
And her bow’d spirit feels, as felt by thee,
That to “live away” on this earth would be S
For her—for all—no happy destiny. )
Poet and Patriot I Thou may’st write for fame.
But by a tenderer and holier name
I call thee—Christa in! write thou here one lay
For me to read and treasure when thou'rt away.
Tuscaloosa, 10th Dec. 1833.
TO MISS
And is it so? a thousand miles apart
Has lay of mine e’re touch’d a gifted heart .
BriHitened the eye of beauty ? won her smile?
Rich recompense for a J the poet s toil .
That fav’ring smile, that brighten’d eye,
That tells the heart’s warm ecstacy,
I have noi seen —I may not see
But maiden kind ! thy gift shall be
A more esteemed and cherished prize
Than fairest smiles or brightest eyes.
And this rich trophy of the poet’s power,
Sh&ll shine on many a lone and distant hour,
Praise from the fair, however bestow'd we greet.
In words and looks, out-speakmg words; ’us sweet;
But when it breathes in bright and polish’d lays,
Warm from a kindred heart, this, this is praise.
Wc are not strangers:—In our hearts we own
Chords that must ever beat in unison.
The same touch wakens them; m all we see
Or hear, oi feel, we own a sympathy.
We look where nature’s charins in beauty rise;
And the same transport glistens in our eyes,
The joys of others cheer us, and we keep,
A readv tear to weep with those that weep.
’Tis this that, in the impassioned hour,
Gives to the favor'd bard lhe power,
As sweetly flows the stream ot song,
To bear the raptur’d soul along.
And make it, captive to his will,
And all bis ow n emotion thrill.
This is lhe tie that binds us : —’tis the glow.
The “gushing warmth” of heart, that Poets know".
We are not strangers: —Well thy lines impart
The Patriot's feeling >n the Poet’s heart.
Not even thy praise can make me vainly deem
That ’tw as the Poet s pow< r, and not his theme.
That woke thy heart’s w arm rapture, when from tar
I lis song ofvict’ry caught thy lav'ring ear.
I'hat vict’rv was thy countr’ys, and his strain j
Was of that starry banner that again ■
Had wav’d, in triumph, on the battle plain. \
Yes though Columbia’s land be wide,
Thou'di Chesapeake’s broad w aters glide
F ir distant from the forest shores
Where Alabama's current roars;
Yet over all this land so fair
Still w av.»the flag of stnne and star,
Still on the Warrior's banks is seen
And shines in Coosa’s valley s green
Bv Alabama’s maiden sung
\\ ith patriot heart and tuneful tongue.
A’es 1 have looked around me here
And’felt Iwas no foreigner.
I '.ae.h friendly hand’s frank ofiei'd clasp
Tells me it is a brother's grasp.
My own, ’ deem these rushing flood.-,
My OW’’. these wild and waving w oods,
Mid (to a I>oet. o. how dear,)
My own songs sweetly chanted here.
The joy With which these scenes I view
Tells ine this is my country too.
These sunny paths I freely roam,
I am no outcast from a tuane,
No wandercron a foreign .-trand:
“This my own, my nakvc land.
We are not strangers still another tic
Binds us more closely, more endearingly.
The Poet's h. art, though time his verse may -av a,

Upon the land he loves, his latest sigh,
Afl he has ki t to give it, ere he di".

mens’s sword glittering
evergreen were laced through the rigging; the
companion way was arched with houps of green
' leaves and roses; the decks were tastefully
i chalked; the commodore’s skylight was piled
with cushions and covered with red damask for
an Ottoman; seats were laid along from one ca
ronade to the other; and the whole was enclosed
i with a temporary tent lined throughout with
showy flags, and studded all over with bouquets
of all the flowers Illyria. Chandeliers made of
bayonets, battle lanterns and candles in any
quantity were disposed all over the hall. A
splendid supper was set out on the gun-deck
below, draped in with flags. Our own a. d the
Constellation’s boats were to be at the pier at
nine o’clock to bring off the ladies; and at noon
every thing promised of the brightest.
First, about four in the afternoon, came up a
saucy looking cloud from the westernmost peak
of the Friuli. Then followed from every point
towards the north, an extending edge of a broad,
solid black sheet which rose with the regularity
of a curtain, and began to send down a wind
upon us which made us look anxiously to our
ball-room bowlines. The midshipmen were all
forward, watching it from the forecastle. The
lieutenants were in the gangway, watching it
from the ladder. The commodore looked seri
ously out of the larboard cabin port. It was as
grave a ship’s company as ever looked out for
shipwreck.
The country about Trieste is shaped like a
bellows, and the city and harbour lie in the nose.
They have a wind that comes down through the
valley, called the “bora,” which several times
in the year is strong enough to lift people from
their feet. We could see by the clouds of dust
on the mountain roads that it was coming. At
six o’clock the shrouds began to creak; the white
tops flew from the waves, showers of spray, and
the roof of our sea palace began to shiver in the
wind. There was no more hope. A\c had
waited even too long. All hands were called
to take down the chandeliers, sword-stars, and
ottomans; and before it was half done, the storm
was flying and flapping, the nicely chalked decks
were swashed with rain, and st ewn with leaves
of flowers, and the whole structure the taste and
labor of the ship’s company for two days, was a
watery wreck.
Lieutenant , who had the direction of the
whole, was the officer of the deck. He sent for
his pea-jacket, and leaving him to pace out nis
watch among the ruins of his imagination, we
went below to get early to bed and forget our
disappointment in sleep.
Tho next morning the sun rose without a veil.
The “blue Friuli” looked clear and fresh; the
south-west wind came over softly from the shore
6f Italv, and we commenced retrieving our dis
aster with elastic spirit. Nothing had suffered
seriously except the flowers, and boats were des
patched ashore for fresh supplies, while the
awnings were lifted higacrand widei than before,
the bright colored flags replaced, the arms po-
I lished and arranged in improved order; and the
i decks re-chalked with new devices. At six in
J the evening every thing was swept up, and the
! ball-room astonished even ourselves. It was
i the preticst place for a dance in the world.
The ship has an admirable band of 20 Ita.ians,
! collected from Naples and other ports, and a
fanciful orchestra was raised for them on the
laboard side of the mainmast: I hey struck up
i a march as the first boatfull of ladies stepped
1 upon the deck, and in the course of half an hour,
i the waltzing commenced with at least two him
dred couples, while the ottoman and seats under
' the hammock cloth were filled with spectators!
i The frigate lias a lofty poop and there was a
• loom with a temporary balustrade, wreathed
I with flowers and studded with lights, and the
cabin beneath, on a level with the mam ball
room, was set out with card tables I- rom the
j gangway entrance, the scene was like the bnl
. lian” the trical ballet. ,
■ An amusing part of it was the sailors mn a-
■ lion on tin-forward decks. Ihey had taker, the
waste shrubberry and evergreens, ol which there
' was a great quantity, and had formed a sort <>l
! orove, extending all round. It was arched with
i the festoons of leaves, with quantums ot Iran
’tied among them; and over the ent. ancc w-.s
i i rrviiah Dicturc oi <1 fniintc with the*
suspended a rough picture b
I inscription- “Free trade and sailors , ighls.
lhe forecastle was ornamented w.tn cutlasses
and one or two nautical transparencies, with pis
tols and miniature ships interspersed, and th
while lit up handsome ly. The men
their white duck ttowsers and blue and
1 sat round on the guns playing draughts, or lis
tening to the music, or gazing at the ladies con
stanth promenading fore and aft, and to me this
was one of the most interesting parts of the
spectacle. Five hundred weather-beaten and
manly faces arc a fine sight any where.
The dance went gaily on. The reigning
■ belle was an American, but we Lad lovely wo
‘men of all nations among .mr guests.—l here
are several wealthy Jewish families in f ncste
■ r.d ‘.bell dark eyed daughter?, wc rrr- ny at
had seen
Pa r ma.
We went below at midnight to supper, and the
ladies came up with renewed spirit to the dance.
It was a brilliant scene indeed. The officers of
both ships in lull uniform, the gentlemen from
shore, mostly military, in full dress, the gaity of
the bright bunting, laced with white and blue*
and studded, wherever they would stand, with
flowers, and the really uncommon number of
beautiful women, with the foreign features and
complexions so rich and captivating to our eyes,
produced altogether an effect unsurpassed by
any thing 1 have ever seen even at the court
jetes of Europe. The day light gun fired at the
close of a gallopade t and the crowded boats pul
led ashore with their lovely freight by the broad
light of morning.

<■l Bull Chase.— Yesterday afternoon between
5 and 6 o’clock, the sober inhabitants of Ches
nut street were startled with a general outer?
of“clear the road”—there he comes,” and on
looking, sure enough he did come. A bull or
an ox, about three years old, had taken upon
himself the responsibility of promenading Ches
nut street without an attendant, and he made
clear work of it as far as he went. Near Fifth
street the cloak of a gentlemen, blowing out into
the wind, attracted the attention of the animal,
and he flew at it with a singular grace. The
owner slipped the fastening, and left the garment.
After a single toss of the affair the bull pursued
his way downward, but was soon attracted by
the comely appcrance of a black man breaking
coal. The beast rushed upon the heap, making
a glorious clattering with hishoofs. The regul
ar coal breaker, not relishing a partnership in
his business, dropped his hammer and withdraw
from the concern. By this time, the shoutings
of the citizens had infused a new fire into the
veins of the bull, and he took up his line of
march at a rapid rate. Hurrah, shouted the
boys—“there lie comes,” said a woman—and
on went the bull, bellowing like a roaring lion,
peeling it down the street like a streak of lightn
ing, his tai) cocked right into the air like a flag
staff, anil his head flying about like a politician’s
looking for the strongest side. Arrived at the
brow of the hill at Front stret, bis coming was
discovered by the unmerous persons on board
the steam boat at Chesnut street wharf.
“ What’s that I” shouted one.
“ It’s the veto,” replied another,
“ Stop him !” they all shouted ; and they
formed a bold front, to keep such an invasion
from the deck of the steamboat.
Meantime the animal came down the hill with
a marvellous velocity—wheelbarrows and
handbarrows were scattered like dust from his
path—nothing obstructed his course—away he
went at full speed, over ropes and hawsera,
stretched along to fasten the steamboat—high
above every let and hindrance, he cleaicd the
whole at a single leap, and struck the Delaware,
sixteen feet from the wars. Landsmen and
watermen, fishmen and butchers, then betook
themselves to the boats to catch the handsome
beast, —Jove himself never took a more beauti
ful form, —but all exertions were fruitless. On
he went, master alike of his own pathway, in the
water as on the land. He directed his courso
for Smith’s island, and landed safe, where at tho
last report he was setting up bis rest—
“ Lord of the fowl and the brute.”
