Mr. Editor: Did you ever hear of Sir Humphry Davy as a poet ? As a ehymi-i. his fame has spread over the eivil:ze'd world; but it is not generally known that he had a poetic, genitus of the highest order. Southey, Coleridge. and otherq. said of hirr., that had he. turned his attention to poetry, he would have altained the first ronk. It is said. by his biographer, that, lii. Pope. - lie lisped in number-." t i<4 perlhps, not to) lie regretted that he culti vaited his talent for philosophical pursuits. nI'; the world has been so largely benefitned ly his investigations His s;fety laIp is a riet.r of1'ring to the world, than all the lpo-try orfHomer, .\ iton. and Byron. Ilik poem, called - The Solis of (eniu." contains many passa.ges, :, enntiful. I think. ns any in the Engrlh,6 laiguage. Will yon publish the follon% in. xtract ? Bright bursting throuih the awful veil of night Thr innar- lams upoi; the ocean play: The watery lillows shine % iih tretnbling :ight. o here the swift breezes skim alon;. the sea. The glimmering stars in you etherral plain Grow 1:nle, and fade before thle lunar-beams; Save where fair Venus. shining o'er the main Conspicuous stil: with finter radiance gle'ams. Clear as the azure firmrotment above. Save where the white cloud floats upon the hrecz-' Al' tranquil is ti e bosom of tLe grove. Save where the zephyr warbles through the trees. Now the poor shepherd.wandern - go his home. Surveys the darkening s.-ene with fearful eye : On every greetn sees little elfin- roam Atl haggard spritesalonthe mooibeams fly. White Superstition rules th- vulzarsoul, Forbids the ener gies of mano to rise. Raised far above her low. her meann control, Aspiring Genius seeks her native skies. She loves the silent, solitary hours; She loves the stilhiess of the starry night. When. o'er the bright'ning view Selene pours The soft ellulgence of her peusive light. THE SWAY OF REASON. Before her lucid, all-enlightenoing ray, The pallid spiectres of the night retire; She drive, the 'gloomy terrors far away, And fills the bosom with celestial fire. nspired by her, the sons of genius rise Above all earthly thonghts, all vulgar care; Wealth, power, and grandeur, they alike despise, Eraptur'd by the good, the great, the fair. A thousnd varying joys to them belong, The charms of tature and her choangefoil seettes Their's is the music of the vcrnal song ; And their's the colors of the vernal plaitis. Their's is the putrple-tinEed evening ray, With all the radiance of the evenitng sky ; There't is the splendor of thte'risen day, Enshrined in glory by the stun's bright eye. For thetm, the zephyr fans the odorons dale ; For them the warbling streamlet softly floows; Fur thema the Drynds shade the v'erdant vale ; For them sweet Philomel attunes her woes. To thema no wakeful moonb'eam shines in vain On the dark bosom of the trackless wood; Sheds its mild radiance o'er the desert plain; Or sot'ly glides along the chrystal floods. Yet not alone delight the soft and fair, Alike the grander scenes of toatture move ; Yet tnt alone her beauties claim their care, The great, sublime, anod terrible they love. When the red lightninigs though the ether fly' And the white fotaming billows lash'.he shores; Whlen to the ratitlinog thunders of' the sky, The angry demont of the waters roars; And when, untouched bhy. Natmt e's living fires, No native rapture fills thoedrowsy soul, Then former unges, ivitn theiltineful hyres, Cin bid the fury oftthe poassi i flall. By the blue taper's melancholy light, Whilst all around thte idinight torrents pour. And awful glooms beset the face of night, They near the silent, solitary hour. Alt! then, how sweet to pass the night away, In silent converse with the Grecian page; Whlilst hlomter tunes his eve'r-living hay', n...r-anon lhtens to thn Ajhonian onsge. To scan thelaws of Nature, to explorc The lranmuii reign of mild Philosophy Or on Newtonian wings sublime to soar, Throngh the bright regions of the starr3 sky. 0liscellaneous. A TALE OF GRENADA. BY W.Stti5010s ItRVING. There was once a poor mason or brick layer in Grenada, who kept all the Saint days and holy days, and St. Monday i the bargain, and ' et he grev pourer anc poerei, and could scarcely earn breaf ter his numerituis family. One night hi was aroused froim his first -Ieeep by - knock at the door. lie opiened it, and be held before him a tall meagre, cadaverou: looking priest. "lIlark ve. honest friend," said the stran ger, "1 have oftenoliserved that you are good Chrisian, anod one to be trutel; wil you mndertake a job this very imglit ?" " With all m3 hearl, Senor Padre, or Condttion that I am paid accordingly." "1That you shall be, but you must suffe yourself:o he bliniloled."

By little and little, ie restored it its former state. There was no longer heard the clinking of gold at night in the chamber, lit it began to be heard by day in the pockets ol the living mason. In a word, he it.creased rapidly in wealth, to the admiraion of all his neighbors, and becaiie one of the richest men in Grenada.

Many of the very same qualities are requisite to make a geold tradesman,' or skilful mechanic, - whichm are ieeded to form a great states, man or general.
