“much vet remains CXSIKG.”
••Soft is the strain where Zephyrs gently blow.”
Tlte following beautiful and sublime
lines, written by Dr. Drake, were pub
lished some years ago in the New York
Evening Post. Commenting upon them,
the Post remarks: We venture to say that
the whole range of poetry does not furnish
an idea more lofty and poetical than that
emlrodied in the first four lines of the first
stanza.
TIIE AMERICAN FLAG.
When Freedom from her mountain height,
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there !
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped its pure, celestial white,
With streaking* of the morning light ;
Then from his mansion in the suuj
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen band !
Majestic monarch of the cloud!
Who rears’t aloft thy regal fiirm,
To hear the tempest trumping loud,
And see the lightning-lances driven,
When stride the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thundering drum of heaven!
Child of the sun! to thee his given
To guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle-stroke,
And bid its blending shine alar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers of Victory!
A CHILD ASLEEP.
BV ELIZABETH B. BARRETT.
How hesleepelh! having drunken
Weary childhood’s mandragore,
From his pretty eyes have sunken
Pleasures, to make room for more—
Sleeping near the withered nosegay, which lie
pulled the day before.
Nosegays! leave them lor the waking!
Throw them earthward where they grew;
Dim are such beside the breaking
Amaranths he looks unto
Folded eyes see brighter colors than the open
ever do.
Heaven-flowers, rayed by shadows golden
From the palms they sprang beneath,
Now perhaps divinely holden,
Swing against him in a wreath
We may think so from the quickening of his bloom
and of his breath.
Vision unlo vision rallcth,
While the young child dreameih on;
Fair, O dreamer, thee belalleth
With the glory thou hast won!
Darker tvert thou in the garden, yeeterniorn, by
summer sun.
We should see the spirits ringing
Round thee were the clouds away!
Tis the child-heart draws them, singing
in the silent seeming clay
Singing! Stars that seeui the mutest, go in music
all the way.
As the moths around a taper,
As the bees around a rose,
As at sunset, many a vapor
So the spirits group and close
Round about a holy childhood, as if drinking its
repose.
Shapes of brightness overlean Ihee,
With their diadems of youth
Striking on thy ringlets sfieenly
While thou smiles!, . . not in sooth
Tht smile, . . but the overfair one, dropt irom
some ethereal mouth.
Haply it is angels’ duty,
During slumber, shade by shade
To fine down this childish beauty
To the thing it must be made,
Ere the world shall bring it praises, or the tomb
shall cee it fade.
Sofily, softly ! moke no noises!
Now lie lietli dead and dumb
Now he hears the angels’ voices
Folding silence in the room
Now he muses deep the meaning of the Heaven
words as they come.
Speak not! lie is consecrated
Breathe no breath across his eyes;
Lifted up and separated
On the hand of God he lies,
In the sweetness beyond touching held in
cloistral sanctities.
THE LOST NT A It.
A light has gone from yonder sky,
A star has left its sphere;
The beautiful—and do they die
In your bright world as here?
Will that star leave a lonely place,
A darkness on the night ?
No! lew will miss its lovely lace
And none think heaven less bright!
What wert thou star of? vanished one !
What misery was thine?
Thy beauty from the east is gone—
W'hat was thy sway and sign?
Wert thou the star ot opening youth ?
And is it then l«»r thee,
Its frank glad thoughts, its stainless truth
So early cease to be ?
Os hope ?—and was it to express
How soon hope sinks in shade,
Or else of human loveliness,
In 3ign how it will fade?
How was thy dying like the song.
In music to the last,
An echo flung the winds among,
And then forever past ?
Clairvoyance. —M. Raimond, a medical
writer, rather celebrated in Paris as a wag,
narrates the following incident, on his own
hypocryphal authority:—
A friend, puzzled at the apparent accu
racy of a somnambulist, asked what his
(the interrogator’s) father was then doing.
In answer, he was told that his father was
vt si bio a long way off; and a number of
details were given, exactly specifying how
the father was engaged.
“I fear you have made a slight anachro
nism: my father,” said the triumphant
disbeliever, “has been dead these twenty
years.”
“No, sir, no mistake ! You appear to
forget,” replied the quiet somnambulist,
“that it takes a wise child to know his
own father!”
One tongue a plenty. —A matronly ladv
lieing asked why she did not learn the
French language, replied one tongue was
sufficient for a woman.
TIIE UNITED STATES MAGAZINE,
And Democratic Kevlar, for 1545.
JOHN L. o’sULUVAX, EDITOR.
THE Sixteenth Volume of the Democratic I?c
--view commences- with the present number. The
Publisher cannot omit the occasion it a fiords, to'
congratulate its readers and friends, upon the great
victory recently achieved by the cause of their
common principles; a victory not less important in
its consequences, than glorious in its triumph, after
the unprecedented severity of the recent contest of
parties. Originally established at a period of t lie
deepest depression of the Democratic cause, in the
memorable year 0T1337, this Review has ever ta
ken an active, and, it is believed, not ineffective
part, in the long and keenly contested battles ot
opinion, by which the country has been ever since
more or less deeply agitated. Having freely shar
ed the worst disasters, the'gloomiest depressions,
may it not fairly be allowed to ash and hope to
share now the benefit of the triumph and prosperi
ty, of the Dernoi racy ol the country? It has sus
tained itself through considerable portions »f that
period, only by large pecuniary sacrifices caused by
the delinquencies of too many of its suhscriliers —
through seasons when zeal for the principles to
which it was devoted could alone a fiord a motive
lor its continuance at so much unrequited expen
ditureof both money, time and intellectual ellort. —
Its Publisher now feels fairly entitled to invoke an ;
active and generous friendliness of support, on the
part of its subscribers and the intelligent members
of its Party generally, for its support. Our oppo
nents have recently organized extensive arrange
ments lor the establishment of a similar work on
the other side of our oreat division of parties—“to
counteract,” as it is said, “the pernicious influei.ee
of the Democratic Review.” Established under
imposing auspices of eminent political and literary
names in the ranks of our opponents, and doubtless
to be sustained by the overflowing means possessed j
by that party, to sustain a work of that character,
it thus holds out the pros|iect of an honorable rival
ry, which the Democratic Review cheerfully ac
cepts, but which the Democratic Party must libe
rally contribute to enable it to maintain, in a man
ner worthy of that party, and of its good, great anil
glorious principles. The way to serve it, and to
aid in litis purpose, is, at once to remit promptly
the debts which are its just and well-earned due,
and to take some degree of active interest to pro- j
cure it additional adoance-payin g subscribers.
The following are among the contributors to this j
work:
Bancroft, J. F. Cooper, Amos Kendall, Paulding, I
Sedgwick, Gilpin, Park Godwin, Hawthorne, Da
vezac, Karnes, A. H. Everett, Brownson, C. J. 1

most intelligent criticisms during the past year, in
themselves alone worth the subscription to the
work, will he continued from the same able hand.

TIIE COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE,
for 1845.
EDITED BY
JOHN INMAN AND ROBERT A. West
Twelve Copies to Clubs for *l2.
At the close of his Second Volume «th e ' Ma<r*
zine having been commenced on the first of r*’
ary, 1844, the publisher find himself irresistible
called on to express the satisfaction and orati/.. 1
with which he has been filled by the brillTant 1
unexampled success that has attended his en 1
vors to win the public la vor. Notwithstanding ml
difficulties, disappointments and vexations ihai
most invariably followed the establishment ol'a * "
periodical, in the production ol which there m T”r
he the harmonious co-operation of many heads 1
inatiy hands-notwilhstanding occasional abort com
mg* especially in the pictoral department w t, ,
no care or diligence could avert and no exDenl"
tore prevent, the Columbian .Magazine has
steadily increasing it- support and popularity /•”
tlte opening number, and if the tin bo light unsoliv' 1
ted testimony of the press may be received • C '*
swayed partiality and unbiassed by friendahin tf"'
efforts of contributors and editors have been s 1'
factory to the public and accepted as fulfilli,,,, ,, S "
promises made for them at the commencement „r
the enterprise. * 01
The publisher undertook Ihe work with a f
conviction that the great city ol New York » va 'tu*
best and the true home lor Magazines of
literature; that notwiihstonding the failure
uy previous attempts to establish such a work ’th'*'
could be no impossibility of success with
capital, perseverance and the right system of man' 1
agernent both by publisher and editor; *tinm| a t»t
by this conviction he embarked in the enterprise 1
the result of ihe fiist year lias proved that liig’itnl
neut was correct. •* U S~
It has long ceased to be necessary, or rea*n n «
hie that we should speak.of the Columbian'as an
experiment substantially tried. We feel „urselv«
upon as hrm a basts as any similar journal in the
world. Our principal cares now regard not
much the securing what ground we have gaine.i
(lor we consider this sufficient! v secure) as the ei_
tension ol our.sphere ot action and utility not ~
much, even, the mete enlargement ofour'ssbscrio
t ton-list, as the most suitable modes of catering L
the amusement (and shall we.say occasionally fe r
the profit?) of our sttbserbers in the present and
in the l uttire—the many whom we have and the
i many more we shall undoubtedly have as the timu
rolls on. u
We have made arrangements which will enable
us to present our friends with embellishments li
very superior taste, style and finish. In this res
peel it isot.r firm purpose, if possible, to outvie all
competition. Out'music and engravings we con
j fiilenity I relieve, will not he equalled— ver’v cerlais-
Iv they shall not he surpassed in real merit', hv those
:ol any other magazine. Wepropnse to give each
j “""’II'* 1 '* * ,VH ° r n " ,re s ."l it ’ rb engravings, indepen
-1 ilent ly ol two pages ot music hv the most eminent
composers, and plate ofanthenticfashions.
Regarding the literary and editorial conduct ol
I the Columbian, the publisher ’’does not feel called
upon to say more than a very few words. The
general management ofilfis department is confided
to the gentleman who has hitherto given abundant
I evidence, not only of Ihe highest "ability it, nut
Ibi'tli a meritorious ni igazineand oneexac’llv adap
ted to the tastes of all readers, with whom'is asso
ciated another gentleman of ability and experience.
The publisher therelbre, lias every confidence
•hat what lias already been done for the literary
value of 1 his journal, will he done again. We are
I 'friediv willing that our futiiie in this tespccl
should he estimated by our past. The subjoined
listol those who have furnished articles for the
Columbian during the bygone year, will satisfy
we leal assured, the most fastidious, that we are'
resolute to spare,in no particular, cither exertion
or expense.
