THE COLUMBIA PHOENIX.
[Original.
. Oil! Star Of those vb.'* Love.
(".i'.l ?tar of those who love, O: loving moon,
"line ?OOH, riee soon, rise soon;
\nd tell my lady, watching from her home, *
il como, I ooute. I o?#rne:
With such a win j of fondness, such a speed, .
Ai lover* only use and lovers need!
1 w ill not wak thc slowly lapsiug hours,
Tv 6cck her bowers,
Mal wiLl be with her ere thy brow make?
bright
The duiky brow of night;
She wrH be watching from her porch, whose
v i o. os,
Th" happy cinctured and embracing twines,
M;:kc J? e>vccl shade ipr two, Who need no more.
To teach thc h sson sweetest in love's lora,
t hat we are thralls #f love, and find his thrall
Thc best of all, tho very best of all,
Knowing no bliss beyond
Our bond;
No joy above
0 or love;
No blis<
But this, thia, this!
Speed as thou rnay'st, O, loving m OOO, but
know
She looks for rae, in looking for thy glow;
Though watching for thy coming, 'tia for me,
Not thee, not thee, not thee.
Thou, as the bearer of the torah which lights
Hy footstep'o'er the heights!
Ye. bo not envious, with thc guidance thine,
?That bil tho bliss is mine, the bliss ia mine.
Nor thou, nor any, that desire, may dare,
Tho precious sweet of my delight to? share,
Bui star of love and beauty, loving .moon,
?iiao soon, rise soon, riae soon!
I'm oe the wing for rapture, and my flight
Ia fa'nm'd by fancies of a rare delight;
1 akiiT the wood, and now the ri ver reach,
And dart along thc gre}" waste of the beach;
My shallop skims thc w^ve and dart- tho cove,
Wal] known to thee and love;
AP J lo! thou smil'ot above the forest grove,
Au glad to_se-i how fleetly I can rove:
And, aa thouglint'st through the old gro-n trees,
Sh? ?tes, but "tis not thee, 'tis me, she tees;
Tell her I come, I come-I fly, I dart,
?? heart to heart, as loving h*art to hoa.rt;
1 drink, dissolved in blis.?.
The kiss, the kins
This, thia, Ol this.
Egeria, the Mose*of Counsel.
XXXT. LATJC AND KAKI.Y.
The father said to the son, exhorting
bim to early rising, 'it ia the carly bin!
that catches the worn." The son, u<
dotlbt,thought himself very shrewed, whet
be. replied, "But what' a foolish worm [
was to let himself be caught abroad t?<
early." The boy determined his ow;
status. Ile cho?e to be the worm. Th
argument of the proverb usually addre.-s -
itself to'one of the parties only, au] v.
must decide whether it applies to us, befoi
vs&adopt ita counsels. Wo cannot qu.'rr.
v.ith the ju lenient (hat prefers to In- th
worm, but wo my question the t;*-i
which prompts the preference. S ill. it r
ibo u.-u??l choice, with ali that ihs* of pe
roos who have l*?>n *. tier, va ted, menti b
hy. (ho tHp-rior iufljoia-e of tho sui.II..
ature. The want of energy is, brief!/,
the lack of mind.
XXXII. AUDITION.
Ho who would acquire fame, most not
show himself afraid of censure. The
d ead of censure i's the death ef genius,
rle who' falters, ' in apprehension of thc
opinion of his neighbor, has already put
nirmelf in the harneas of a master; and
the genius wbicb commands the keys of
t.he future, is always an outlawry. To
nut one's* wing.s into thVkeepmt* of another
who bas no wings,, is certainly to havt
them clipped close to the shoulders. How
should he approve of journeys by air, with
I the eagle, who has always, pursued his own
j way along thc earth with the ?nail? That
audacity, which* is one of the essentials of
genius, bas always laughed at what the
conventional would describe at decorum.
Genius is Discovery! How should it
submit rigr training of its eyes to those bv
whom tro^rlircoveries have yet been made?
XXXIII. INSECURITY OF VICE.
The bond which bolds the iniquitous
together, is one perpetually liable to rup?
ture. The very principle wbicb brings the
parties to co-operate-that of the spoils
is .one which constantly prompts each of
them to make prey of the other.
XXXIV. REASON AND REVELATION.
? Revelatipu may not need the help ol
reason, but man does, even when in pos
Cession of Revelation. Reason may be
described as the caudle in tho roan's hand
r-? which tlevelulion bring* the necea san
flame.
XXXV. THE TRUE POET.
The true poi?t .is hu who find* for th
universal thought aud feeling, the bec mi
? Hg language. He appeal-, with an in
imct pocu tar to himself, to inst i nt-1
vhich HIC common te the race; ana en
.birt-!?, for thf finit tune, with the p ?wer ci
xpro-siou, the overburdened and stru
?liug, but b?th rto dumb emotions, ll
in is that voice for the heart which it
?.dy unseals its fouiil.-iiitr, but opi-ns th
ay to sj m path ie? which have their fout
.ins als.?. . ?

XXXVIII. tl.?.Cr:s AND GENERATIONS.
Wv rr but t??o frtq tiiutiy ia cnu.om
in?; H race with a generali >n, and vice yerta*
A. generation not a race. It iy'but &
brief part and period in Hie progress of a
race-a mere point in time, rapidly- pasting
on and off the stage, and may be in sot Bal
conflict wi h -all that constitu?as the true
germ and mission of a race. It may ba
an offshoot, in fact, of a rice-* sort of
Hegitim ile acion, blighting ' ita batter
brother. We sometimes behold r. gene?
ration utterly id adequate to the dut.ias ot
tbe race, grossly misrepresenting its pa*
rentags, and a? grossly fraudulent of tho
securities of its own progeny. When wo
spe-.k of a people, we are to remember tho
race only, and not confound them with ?
meru generation, already passing out of
sight.
XXXIX. PHILOSOPH* AND POETRT.
Philosophy is reason with thu) eyes of
tile-?ou 1; poetry is philosophy wi|?i tba
wings of tb-i spirit. * k
XL. SOCIAL DESPOTISM. \
? . Tiie one great name, lui wei er worthy,
by which the wtiole progress of a peon]*)
is dictated or directed; is necessarily a des?
potism. * It is too ape to supersede utterly
the exercise of the popular tut dltCt, and ie
bus destructive of all tiie securities ot* tho
ace. The great nantes of a country quito
loo frequeutly degenerate int'? tyrannies,
md, in living upon the past,an aristoeraoj
lives usually, for t e grievous injury of tho
uresen',' and the probable overthrow'of a
>*op!e in the future. It ia thia fact which
-<> frequently f>et-mi to render revolution
iecce>??ry. if only to prevent stagnation.
