Come Inspiration from thy hermit seal,
By mortals seldom found V
selected. autumn. The winds have now, a wild and pensive tone, That tell the heart of loneliness and gloom: Dark clouds are hanging in the sky's blue zone,
And summer beauties now fling off their bloom.
Decay's great mantle silently is thrown
O'er Nature's face But, Autumn ! thou canst fill
With hallow'd thoughts the bosom, sad and lone, For all thy charms are solemn, pure and still. A soft andtwilighf loveliness is thine And ere the trees their "leafy honors" shed, Their fading robes their Autumn dresses shine With changing hues of yellow, green and red: We gaze upon them and the tear is starting; For they still like our joys seem brightest when departing.
From the New York Mirror. EUGENIA MORNTON. The moon beamed bright, except when a light cloud wafted by a gentle western fcreeze passed over it, like some pure aerial spirit, playing in its rays, and lor a moment
dimming its mild, its holy lustre. It was
such an evening as a lover might delight to
wander in, or a poet love to muse upon. An evening, when the cold reality of exist
ence slumbers in spite of itself, and leaves young fancy, with her wing of gold, unshackled by the fetters with which it bound it,
amid the broad light oi a noon day sun, to
soar to brighter worlds, and people the whole universe with beings of its own creation,
more beautiful, more pure, than those which
the loveliest romance of real hie can pre
sent. The bright waving green sward be
neath, covering a spot which was used by the inhabitants of the neighbouring town as a burial place, extending in a delightful level to some distance, was bounded on the one side by a dense forest, and on the other by a broad blue stream, upon whose banks rose a populous, and delightful village. 1 gazed for a moment upon the beauteous, yet melancholy scene around me, with almost an unheeding glance. No memorial of mortality, no beauty of slumbering natu re, could
arrest my footsteps then, for the voice of
gayety and revelry rose upon mine ear, and invited me to leave her placid majesty, for the splendour of art. A strain of music, bursting forth from a large illuminated -building near the outskirts of the town, bade me hasten onward; and the full orbed moon the bright blue arch of heaven the glitter
ing stars the breeze from the mountain, and the aerial spirits "fancy formed," were all neglected to join in the fantastic mirth, the restless gayety, and excited spirits of a ball-room. I entered. Joy appeared smiling upon every lip- and the lip for the moment might have been moulded by the feeling of the heart. The coquette, the prude, the libertine, and the man of honour,were seen there, almost without a show of difference; all dis-j
guise being thrown oiF, in the excitation of
the moment. 1 he laugh and trie joke, the tender word, and still more tender glance, each had their turn, and each individual seemed equally happT; but it was all a feverish ecstacy, an artificial beatitude, that could not last. Yet among them I beheld, or thought 1 beheld, one, that seemed "not of earth, earth
ly" one, who smiled, yet smiled not, as if!
that smile could not be as sweet elsewncre: who spoke, yet spoke not, as if her word Qould not thrill as softly at all times; who seemed happy, yet not as if it proceeded a-
lone from her present situation, but as if it
were alike equable in all places alike tender alike heavenly. Oh she was beautiful as if the munificent hand that formed her, had shared among others an equal proportion of various excellence, but had stamped the brightest, the purest perfection of
each upon her alone.
Yet she was gay. The smile that shone
in her eye, and played over her hp, seemed as bright and as. heartfelt, as those of the more lively and volatile beings, around her. She like them, trode the "merry make," but there was that in her step and her air, that showed she danced not, to be admired or envied. Though excelling all around her, as the pensive moon does the smallest star, yet
did that very excellence beam more brightly, that she endeavoured not to display it, or call the gaze from others to herself while the splendour of her charms was at the same time heightened as well as softened by the very modesty which strove to hide it. Such was Eugenia Mornton, when I first faw her. The artless playfulness of childhood, just contrasting yet mingling with the bloom of eighteen, while the arch naivete of the youthful maiden was just tinged with the pleasing seriousness of the aflinnccd bride, Her lover stood beside her. gazing
with intent, yet respectful fondness upon a being such as all might imagine a spirit belonging to a better, a brighter sphere. A being, which he himself thought far brighter, far more excellent than either. I gazed upon this vision, as it were almost involuntarily. There seemed a sort of fascination about it, that ri vetted mine eyes unconsciously upon it but as I gazed, a feeling of unaccountable sadness by degrees stole over me. such as that with which we gaze upon a loved object, and (as a melancholy foreboding whispered.) for the last time. It was in vain 1 strove to shake it off. It was in vain 1 roused myself to enter into

it clung to mc. Her form still glided before
me, and the same unaccountable melancholy
still pervaded every fibre of my frame. The
evening passed in this manner away. All around me, laughed, whispered, and were (for the moment) happy. She too was hap

assembly I retired to rest. The fairv vis
ion still was present in mv slumbers. She
danced, she spoke, she smiled, and the scene of the preceding evening again existed in my imagination, but the same chill, sad feei
ng, as it did then5 again witneicd its enjoy
ment. After a rcstJezs and feverish shim

and its concomitant depression of spirits.
pervaded every thing I attempted, and it was not, till after many mistakes in the wri
ting of letters, and other preparations prior
to a departure on a lorn; voyage, that, to
wards evening as I sat in the stern of the;
vessel, gliding before a fair and genue breeze, that was to waft me for a length of

of a cloudless summer day, I attain entcicd
the river, and again hailed that place, which
though containing but few beings endeared to me, either by love or friendship, vet had
contained a charm within it, too potent to allow it to be totally indiilerent to me.
"And what is she to me, or I to her?"
thought I, as my steps, as it were mechan-
were as bright as the brightest, that now gild the existence of yon thoughtless crowd. Her form was fair as the fairest; her voice as sweet as the sweetest. Where are they now? Withered w i t h e r e d withered and she, who possessed them all. cold, silent, and neglected." As 1 said this, my foot struck against a small white upright stone in mv oath. The blow roused me from mv rcvery, I started, and gazing around me, found 1 had unconsciouslv entered the little
churchyard, and was now standing on the selfsame spot where 1 had stood three years
since. 1 he oppression at my breast became intolerable. I looked up. The music that then floated through the air, from the gay assembly, and filled my soul with a delicious
rapture, noio Jionted by, but imparting a more melancholy cadence to my ear. The grass beneath me was green, the forest in the distance as dark, and the river flowing not far from me, as clear and unruffled as they were then. The moon was shining in its heavenly lustre, as it did then. The light breeze fanned a few light clouds over its sur
face, as it did then. A thousand heavenly spirits teemed wandering around me, as they did then but where was she? 1 cast my eye upon the stone at my feet, and beheld engraved thereon the following simple words: "She, who sleeps in silence beneath this stone, was once Eugenia Morn-
