SEIiBCTED POETRY. THE MISERIES OF WAR. Dark waa tho battle-field?dark with the car Tted with the blood of the wounded and tain; I.ow plaintive moaning* broke on the night winds? Moaninga of anguiah, moaninga of pain. Tale gleamed the moonlight o'er the dead warrior*; Vnd looked the star* on that desolate eight; iVoud forma had perished that day in the battle; h'ond hopra had died 'ntid the thickeat of fight. Hoof-trodden, scarred bj the aword and the aahre. All showed the place where the foeman had striven; Mournfully mingled the laurel and cypress, llmken hearts wept for the ties that were riven. Fad sighed the Wind Spirit 'raid the lone branches. Sad as a requiem or dirge for the slain; Tale watchers looked from their lone far-off * "* dwollin** dwellings,.

Scenes of my childhood," he murmured, in sadness, Wife of my bosom. And children, adieu! Farewell, my country! 1 fought for your freed om,? There are tears for my loved ones, hut glory for you " The Parting Hour The hoar is coining, and it ia a fearful and solemn hour, even to the wisest and the best, the hour is coming, when we must bid adieu to the scenes which please us, to the famillsa we lore, to the friends we esteem. Whether we think or whether we think not, that body which is now warm and active with life, aball be cold and motionless in death?the countenance must be pale, the eye must be closed, the voice must be silenced, the senses moat be destroyed, the whole appesrsnee must he changed by the remorseless hand of our last enemy. Wc may banish the remembrance of the weakness of our human nature, we may trCmhle at the prospect of dissolution j 1 - - - - ? run our reiucianeo 10 renecl upon it, and our attempts to drive it from our recollection, arc in Tain. We know that wo arc sentenced to die, and though wc sometimes succeed in casting off for a season the coovlction of this unwelcome truth, we never can entirely remove it. The reflection haunts us still, it haunts na in solitude, it follows us into society, it lies down with us at night, it awakens with us at morning. The irrevocable doom has passed upon us, and to^ well do we know it, "Dust thou art, and unto dust thou sbalt return." I,iric Without Love. ?Wa sometimes meet with men who seem to think that any indulgence in an affectionate feeling is a weakness They will return from a journey and treat their families with a distant dignity, and move among their children with the cold and lofty splendor of sn iceberg surrounded by its fragments. There is hardly a more unnatural sight on earth than one of those families without a heart. A father had better extinguish a boy's eyes than take away bis heart. Who that has eipcri (MM lb* joys of friendship, and vilow sympathy and affection, would not rather lose all that ia beautiful in nature's scenery than be robbed of the hidden treasures of bis heart f Cherish, then your heart's best affections. Indulge ia the warm and gushing emotions of filial, parental and frugal lore. % smmesBernsmesmsmsssBsm^s { j||| | "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
