POETRY.

The Dream of the Reveller. Or the Three Houses, ns sung by Mr. Russell, at the great Temperance Meeting held in the Long Room at Exeter Hall, London, in the presence of more than three thousand persons. Words by Charles Mackay, Esq.: Around the board the guests were met, the 5"-" .""'V r .1. u And in their cups, replenished oft, the ruby t xvine wa. streaming J ; winewassinduim,, Their cheeks vrete flushed, their eyes were , bright, their hearts with pleasure bounded, The sonff was sun?, the toast was giv'n, and, loud the revel sounded; I drained my bumper with the rest, and cried, ( "away with sorrow I Let me be happv for to-day. and care not for to-morrow,:' I And as I spoke my sisht grew dim, and slum-1 . ' e ' i lights above them gleamm? ner nppnramcn pp mp. And 'mid the whirl of mingling tongues, thit vision passed before me. Methdught I saw a demon rise, he held a mighty bicker, Whose burnished sides ran daily o?er, wiih floods of burning liquor; Around him pressed a clamorous crowd, to taste this liquor greedy, But chiefly came the poor and sad, the sufFring and the needy; All those oppressed by grief and debts, the dissolute and lazy, Blear-eyed old men, and reckless youths, and palsied women crazy; "Give, give!" they cry, "give, give us drink to drown all thoughts of sorrow, If we are happy for to-day, wo care not for fo-morrw.'" The Jirst drop warms their shivering skins, and drives away their sadness! The second lights their sunken eyes, and fills their souls with gladness; The third drop makes them shout and roar, and play each furious antic, The fourth drop boils their very blood, the fifth drop drives them frantic; "Drink P says the demon, "drink your fill! drink of these waters mellow, They'll make your bright eyes blear, and dull. and turn vour white skins vellnv,They'll fill your home with care and grief.and clothe your back with tatters, They'll fill your hearts with evil thoughts but never mind what matters?" "Though virtue sinks, and reasoning fail, and social ties dissever, 77 be your friend in hour of need, and find you homes forever; For I have built three mansions high, three strong and goodly house., A workshop for the" jolly soul, who all his lite carouses; A hospital to lodge the sot, oppressed by pain and anguish, A prisox full of dungeons deep, w here hopeless felons languish; So drain the cup, and dram again, and drown all thought of sorrow, B a happy if you can to-tlay and never mind tomorrow!" But well he knows, this demon old, how vain is all his preaching. The ragged crew that round him flock, are heedless of his teaching; E'ei as they hear his fearful words, thev cry with shouts of laughter, "Out on the fool! who mars to-day with thoughts of an hereafter; We care not for thy houses three, we live but for the present, And merry will we make it yet, and quaff our bumper pleasant. Loud laughs the fiend to hear them speak, and lifts his brimming bicker, "Body and soul are miner quoth he "I'll have them both for liquor!" From the S'ew Mimr. THE SWORD AND THE STAFF. The following song suggested by the eloquent remarks of Mr. Summer, nn lino eentationof the sword of General Washington and the cane of Doctor Franklin, to the Congress of the United States, was sung by Mr. Russell at his recent concerts in this city 1. The sword of the hero! The staff of the sage! Whose valour and wisdom Are stamp'd on the age ! Time hallow'd mementoes Of those who have riven The sceptre from tyrants, The lightning from heaven !' 11. This weapon, oh Freedom ! Was drawn by the son, And it never was sheath'd 'Till the battle w as won ! No stain of dishonor Upon it we see ! 'Tws never surrender'd Except to the free ! HiWhile Fame claims the hero And patriot saee. Their names to emblazon On History's page, No holier relics Will Liberty hoard. Than Franklin's staff, guarded By Washington's sword. G. P. M.

And U there one among theus free!" hat: Mill at vonr books ! Whvititime - . .. - " e hereon jour way to the party said a classmate of m ne as he abrubtlv entered mv ..,,, ,. u"ireum "f J!!

Why it is time Nonsense! that is iust the reason for vnnr joining us to-night. All the pretty girls of the village will be there, and" -Sol much of an inducement that, as I've no great idea of falling in love just yet." Nor have any of us; but a little flirtation is an excellent remedy lor the blues. We have just the subject for that J - CMl'j V t III (11 one of the greatest coquettes in the wor'd ..c "jun-u nan me class already. I saw her eye on you last Sunday at chuich. She has marked you as her next victim, no doubt." "Indeed! I'm highly honored to be selected as a victim for a coquette before I have been here a w eek. I think I must join yon to-night justtoseethi 'Conqueror in Cnni'd'a Call for me in half an hour and I'll be ready." ummai io me moment my Triend joined me, we sallied forth, arm in arm. on our way to the pleasant mansion of the Matthew s. "Pray, who is this beauty, Pennell, for coquettes are always beauties, I believe?" enquired I, as we sauntered slowly along. "Her name is Mary Redington. She is a niece of our hostess for the evening, with whom she has resided for some time pat. Her mother is dead, and her fuilior io her of the American embassy to the Court of Cs I cm. j..iurs. ih:i nere w e are. and vou must learn the rest from her own lips, as I warrant me you will have a goodlv share of her attentions to-night." Before there was time for further words we found nnrpl.c ; ception room of our entertainers. After paying our compliments to our hostess we passed on to the drawing room, w here were assembled the beauty and fashion of the town. "Who is that beautiful girl from whom Colcord and Hawes have been trying to win smiles?" enquired I, as we sauntered slowly through the splendid lighted rooms. "None other than Mary Redington. Come, she has recognized us I must introduce vou!" Before I had time to reply, the introduction was over, and I was promenading with the belle ofthe evening. Imperceptibly we glided into conversation, and I found that.thoudi a coquette she might be, she was a girl of no ordinary powers. There was an artlossncss in her words and manner too, that tended to weaken the impression I had received from my ft-iend, and rendered me desirous of continuing an acquaintance begun almost against my will. c "How liked you the party and Mary Redington?" enquired my Iriend, as we took our way to our rooms after the entertainment broke up. "The party was very brilliant, and speaks well Tor the tone of society in your village" replied I. c ' "But what of Mary?" UW hy she is Quite a nassnhln niri i carelesslv. "A passable girl, ha! ha! ha! and vet Charles Hamilton has been worshiping at her shrine all the evening. Why man, you are the mot devoted admirer she has had this manv a dav. our classmates and all the village beaux will be at sword's points with you, if you take our belles by storm in this manner." "I was not aware that mv ntiontinne been overnointed this evening i w ill be more guarded in future,so let us change IIIC SUUJtTl. The unenviable renuiaiinn vWh tgameu oi oeing a heartless coquette, prevented my seeking her society as often as I otherwise might have done, the village gossips would recount her almost numberless conquests, especially among the students of College.

plied I. "It is a delightful evening, and the last too, that I shall spend in your pleasant village for the present" "Then you will return," she enquired with an earnestness that startled even herself. 'That is uncertain; perhaps I may at some distant day but let us enjoy the present." She made no reply, but placing her hand in mine, permitted me to seat her in the boat. A few strokes of the oar and we" gained the

opposite shore Leavinff the boat, we strolled through the beautiful prove that horder nil the eastern bank of the K , till the. last rays of the setting sun had disappeared behind the western hills, and twilight w as slowly gathering over the scene. The bright stars shone out one by one in the clear hlne vaults of heaven. The pale moon shed its dim light pun wieearm, yet still we lingered in that beautiful retreat, conversing of the past, or dwelling upon the beauties of some one of the favorite authors we mart tnriii At ! lenath, aroused bv the nWnnninr . ii;ri.f ' turned our steps homeward.

We had nearly reached her home, when she hesitatingly enquired "May I ask you a question?" "Yes, two if you wish." I replied, somewhat piqued by her previous reserve. "Who is Ellen C ?" "A cousin of mine, and a pretty one too." "You correspond with her." "Yes, and hope to see her soon." "She is a lovely creature, such a one As poets love to dream of, artists paint." We had now reached the grounds enclosing her fathers residence. Instead of taking the path direct to the huse, we had unobserved by rue. taken one leading to a small arbor, w here w e had frequently spent hours in idle converse, or in rending some favorite author. "I am fatigued; let us rest awhile," said Mary, as we reached it. We entered. I observed on the seat a volume of Tasso's Jerusalem, which lhadftivn her. I took it tip. Her glove was lying between the leaves, opening to a particular passage a favorite of mine. Apparently w ithout noticing it, I referred to the pages which I had been reading -dm ing the day, and spoke of some new publications which I just received offering to send them to her for perusal. "Hut you call again before you leave?" 'I think not. My uncle's carriage will arrive in the morning, and w e shall leave as soon as the commencement is over." "But yon can call for a moment, at least." "Do you wish it." She looked up reproachfully. A tear stood trembling in her eye. My arm encircled her waist, and I gently drew her to me. Oui lips met the first long kiss of love was given, and her head sunk upon my bosom. We breathed no vow but that moment has been to me the holiest one in memorv. A laughing, fair-haired little Mary. the very image of her coquettish mother, is standing by my side, looking wistfully v pinto my fare as I write; then, "playfully resting her" head on mv knee, run vine mr Cmm r.. sketch to a game of roinne with I. or ti,. footstep of her mother, too. more staid and matronly than when we rambled together on the hanks of the K . i nnnr.,,i,, .i, library, so I must now draw to a close, w ishing o. gentie reader, as happv a lo' as that of your friend, Charles Hamilton.
