From the Louisville Journal. THE WESTERN GIRLS. Oh tell ma not of peerless"girls Who breathe the air of Grecian Isle?, Where brows are swept by raven curl.1?, And looks tell love to answering smiles'. But give me those whoo cheeks are fanned fly the wild winds here in the West, Whose thoughts sublime in accents bland Revive one's visions of the bh st. Cur wettern'giria most surely aro The comclicstcreaturrs of their sex, And tkilful too, beyond compare, In arts which please you, or perplex, With brows as radient as the morn, And eyes that glance like stars at even, One look can strike your hopes forlorn, Or tlit your heart with dreams of heaven.

Their lips are sweet as lute of love, When minstrel wakens up its to own, And every word the scul can niovo With feelings which 'til bliss t own. la form, they're de'icate and lithe. And easy as the swaying red; And in each action chaste, and blithe, And graceful as the fawn at epced. Talk not to me of dreamy eyes, Ot looks of lazy langour frought, And words which, like the south wind's sighs, Ureak not the wavelcss calm of thought, Our western girls have hearts and minds, Deep feeling and ftion eloquence, A ud power to forge, the chain that binds In deathless bondage soul and eci.su. The ladies here have many a way Teen liar to their own bright clime, To keep the cares of life at b ay, And roue the soul to pteasuru'a chiuio. Thy can admire each splendid thought Which, lark-hke, leaps towards he skies And every strain, wtih genius fraught, Wooson and wins their sympathies. You've seen the"cag!e on bis wing, High up in heaven pursue his way, And heard the blue bird in the spring Pour to his mate his tender laji Well, like that eagle, soaring high, Tho west'j fair daughters are in mind And like that blue bird's melody. Their accents float upon the wind. Niht-bound and rayhes is the heart That can resist their witching ways Which at such shriues would not impart Its sense of beauty and its praise. Siu-h heart could hear the dreamy sih Of Autumn winds without a chimr, And watch the glories of the sky. Without one thrill of the bublime. l.pf pot-n hyrna ideal' graco And sin; of smiles beyond all price ; And vow in ev ery form they trace A vision fresh fiom paradise: We need no spirits from the deep, To fill o.ir minds and make us blest For cur own girls haverharms which keep Oar fancies kme, here in tho west.

name. And notwithstanding,

"The loudest blast That ever filled Renown's obstreperous trump, Fades in the lapse of ages, and expires,"

yet he is honored by his fellow men while living,

revered by posterity, and stands a monument tor emulation for years after death. There are many inducements to stir within the young breast that commendable ambition which urges the votary onward over the rugged paths that lead to eminence. The interest which relatives and friends take in the progress of a young and reflecting person, is sufficient to stimulate him to eve

ry exertion, so that he may burst'the j,bonds of undistinguished mediocrity and fulfil their expectations. The giatification of those, who are in any way interested, must be great, when'they see the talents of a young man expanding by the nourishing dews of science and literature, his mind rounding into maturity, and who, like the young eagle, mounts aloft free from the trammels of earth, secure in his altitude. At tho very thought, pleased fancy leaps

beyond "The bounds of flaming space!" freed from restraint, ga7.es over the wide extended universe, and sees the minds of many, doomed to remain beneath the limits of uncultivated thought total strangers to the happiness'of him, who "wins

did not at first recognise the gentleman, and when : he did, decided that he could not come in unless he j

should expatiate his sins by paying an enormous sum, to which the Colonel agreed. Things being thus settled, he was about to enter his spiritual ubode, when tho "Son of thunder" asked him "what money he should pay with." "Mississippi, to be sure," said the Colonel, with a flush of pride on his

cheek. "Mississippi money," was the reply, "we l

To win a name in the present enlightened age in an ngu when every path to eminence seems crowded and when every derailment of honor can boast of time's most talented, requires nature's best gifts a tine genius and a good constitution, as well ns untiring perseverance.
