S.ELECTEI) FOR THE ADVERTIRSf.
NAPOLEON'S FAREWELL.
From the Frend.
Farewell to the Land, where the gloom of my
Glory
Arose and o'ershadowed the earth with her
nan.e;
She abandons mo now-but the page of her
story,
The brightest or blackest, is filled with my
fame.
I have warred with a world which vanquished
me only
When the meteor of Conquest allured me too
far;
I have coped with the nations which dread me
thus lonely,
The last single Captive to millions in war!
Iarewell to thee, France!-when thy diadem
crowned me.
I made thee the gen and the wonder of earth,
But thy weakness decrees, I should leave as I
found thee;
Decayed in thy glory, and sunk in thy worth.
Oh! for the veteran hearts that were wasted
In strite with the storm, when their battles were
won
Then the Eagle, whose gaze in that moment
was blasted,
Had still soared with eyes fixed on victory's
sun! -
Farewell to thee, Frauce!-but when liberty
rallies
Once more in :hy regions, remember ine then
The violet still grows in the depth of thy
valleys;
Though withered, thy tears will unfold it ngnin.
Yetyet, I may bafile the hosts that surrouna its,
An~d yet may thy heart leap awake to my voice;
There are links which must bieak inthe chain
that has bound us;
Then turn thee, and call on the chief of thy
choice!

AN AMLiICAN FoR-ST SPRING.
BY ALFRED D. STRF.ET.
Now fluttering breeze-a ew stormy blast,
Mild rain, then blustering snow
Winter's stern fettering cold is passed,
But, sweet Spring! where art thou?
The white clouds float mid smiling blue,
The broad brigiht sinushine's golden huo
Bathes the still frozen earth:
'Tis changed !-above, black vapors roll
We turn trom our expected stroll,
And seek the blazing hearth.
Hark-that sweet carol! with delight
We leave the stiflipg room
The little blue-bird greets our sight,
0 Spring, glorious Spring has come!
The south-wind's balm is in te air,
The melting snew-wreaths every where
Are leaping off in showers;
And Na:ure ini her brighteninig lo'oks,
Tells that her flowers, and heaves, and brooks,
And birds will soon bc oturs.
A few soft sunny days have shone,
The air has lost its chill,
A bright green tinge succeeds thte brown
Upont the southera lill.
O0f to the woos-a pleasant seen e
Here sprouts the fresh young winter green,
There swells a mossy nimud:
Though in the hollows, drifts are piled,
The wvandering wind is sweet and mild.
Atid buds are bursting round.
Where its long rings une'urls the fern,
Casts backthe white lid of itsq urn,
Its purple streak< to show :
Beautiful blossont! first to rise
And smile beneath Spring's wakening skies,
The courier of the hand
Of comting flowers-whtat feelings sweet,
Gush, as the silvery gem we meet
Upon its slender wand!
-A sudden roar-a shtade is cast
We look up with a start.
And, sounding like a transient blast,
O'erhead the pigeons dart ;
.Scarce their blue glaincing shapes the eye
Can trace, ere, dotted on the sky',
They wheel in distant flight.
A chirp-and swift the squirrel scours
Along the prostrate tru nk, and cowers
Within its clefts from sight.
A mid the creeping vine, which spreads
Its thick and verdant wreath.
The scau-bserry's downy spangle sheds
Its rich delicious breath.
The bee-swarms murmur by, and now
They cluster black on yonder bough.
The robin's mottled breast
Glances that sunny spot across,
As round it seeks the twig and moss
To frame its summer nest.
Warmer is each successive sky,
More soft the breezes pass,
The maple's gems of crimson lie
Upon the-thick greeuegrass.
The dogwood sheds its elusters white,
The birch has dropped its mssels slight,
-Cowslips are round the rIl;
- The threshcr whistles in the !rlen.
SFlutters around the warblingt wren,
.And swamps have v'oices shrill.
A simultaneous burst of leaveq
Has clothed-the forest now,
A single day's bright sunshtine wveaves
This vivid gorgeous show;
sses of shade arc east beneath,
.rrh. flo-ers nrc seanr in varierd wreath,
Night brings its soft. sweet mocn;
Morn wakes in mis:. and twilighlt gay
Weeps i s bright deu. stnd smiling May
Melts into blooming June!
TIlE DESERTED BRIDE.
Suggested by a scenc in the play of the Ilunchback.
INSCtIBED TO JAMES sHrEniltN KNOWLES.
By George P. Morris.
" Love me!-Ne-he never loved me!
Else he'd sooner die tian stain
One so fotnd as he had proved me,
With the hollow w'orld's disdain.
False one, go-oty doom is spoken,
And the spell that bound me broken!
Wed him !-Never. He has lost me!
Tvars !-Well, let them flow !-Ilis bride?
No.-The stniggle life ma) cost mte!
Bit he'll find that I have pride!
Lo'e is tiotan idle flow er,
Blooms and dies die self-same hour.
Title. land. and broad dominion,
With himself to me he gave;
Stooped to earth his spirit's pinion,
And becamn my willing siave!
Knelt and prayed until he won me
Looks he coldly now ttpon me?
I:.grate!-Never sure was maiden
Wronged so ioul as [. With grief
MV exiue breast is overladen
Tears afford tie- no eliefl.
Every nerve is strained utit aching,
And my very heart is br, aking!
Love him '-Thus scorned and slighted
Thrown, ike worthless wea<d upea t
Hopes and leeling, seted and lhgh ed
Love him f-Yes, " ith all tny heart!
' ith a passion superhitmtnin
Constancy, "thy tane is wonian."
Love, nor time, nor mond can fashion
Love !-dolatry's the wori
To speak it- broadest decl.est passion,
Ever wont's h art hoath .irr'd!
Vain to -till tite mind's desires,
W hich consume like Italden lites!
Wrecked aid wretched, lost and lonely,
Crushed by gri-Is oppre save weight,
With a i.rayer ifor Cadftord only,
I resign ne to my late.
Chan.,thatbind the soul, i've proven
Strong as titey were tron wo% en.
Deepi the woe that hast is sending
frot my cheek its healthini bloom;
Sad my thoughits, as willows bendiag
O'er the borders ol' tle tombt.
Without Clifford, not a hlez.ag
In the world is wordi possesing.

Oppo:ed to ove. twill strike the beam:

As solid gold against a feather.

The public contfidence seems inde'ed to
increase in this new bratnch or business; it
is very evident that the rage for the Morus
Multienulis would have soon expendled it
self, unless its cultivation had bien con
nected with the raising of silk. TIho mutl'
tipliation of the trees dluring the present
season, will be very cotisiderabile. Many
or our farmers nre devoting small prt inn
of their land-from 2 to 3 up to 17 or 20
acres. A silk company near Washingtn
has 400 acres iti cnltivation. Btut, the
mechatiical ingenuity of our coputrymen,
which exceeds that of any country in the
world, is atlreadly "rising to the level of
the occ'asion,'' and~ strikitig out newl ma
