5Tis done! 'tis done! The mighty chain Which joins bright Erie lo the Main, Forages, shall perpetuate The glory of our native Stale.
Tis done! Proud Art o'er Nature has prevail'd!
Genius and Perseverance have succeeded! Though selfim Prejudice assail'd, And honest Prudence pleaded. 'Tis done! The monarch of the briny tide, Whose giant arm encircles earth. To virgin Erie is allied, A bright-eyed nymplh, of mountain birth; To-day the Sire of Ocean takes A sylvan maiden to bis arms, The goddess of the crystal lakes, In all her native charms! She comes! attended by a sparkling train; .The Naiads of (he Western nuptials grace: She meets the sceptered father of the main, And in his heaving bosom bides her virgin face. Itising from their watery cells, Tritons sport upon the tide, And gaily blow their trumpet shells, In honor of the bride. Sea-nymphs leave their coral caves, Deep beneath the ocean waves, Where they string, with tasteful care, Pearls upon their sea-green hair. Thetis virgin train advances, Mingling in the bridal dances; Jove, himself, with raptured eye, Throws his forked thunders by, And bids Apollo seize his golden lyre, A strain of joy to wake; While Fame proclaims that Ocean's Sere Is wedded to the goddess of the Lake. The smiling god of songs obeys, lays. And heaven re-echoes with his sounding "All hail to the Art which unshackles the soul! And fires it with love of glory! And causes the victor, who reaches the goal, To live in deathless story ! "Which teaches young Genius to rise from the On Fancy's airy pinion, eiith, To assert the claims of its heavenly birth, And seize on its blest dominion. "The Art which the banner of truth unfurl'd, When darkness veil'd each nation, And prompted Columbus to seek a new world On the unexplored map of creation. "Which lighted the path of the pilgrim band, Who braved the storms of Ocean, To seek, in a wild and distant land, The freedom of pure devotion. "'Which kindled, on Freedom's shrine, a flame That will glow through future ages, And cover with glory and endless fame Columbia's immortal sages. "The Art which enabled her Franklijt to prove, And solve, each mystic wonder!
To arrest the forked shafts of Jove, And play with his bolts of thunder. "The Art which enables her sons to aspire, Beyoud all the wonders in story; 'For an unshackled press is the pillar of fire Which lights them to Freedom and Glory ,0Tis this which call'd forth the immortal decree, And gave the great work its first motion: 'Tis done! by the hands of the brave and free, And Erie is link'd to the Ocean. "Such strains if earthly strains may be Compared to his who tunes a heavenly lyre Are warbled by the bright-haired Deity, While list'ning orbs admire. "Such strains, shall unborn millions yet awake, While, with her golden trumpet, smiling Fame Proclaims the union of the Main and Lake, And on her scroll emblazons Clinton's name."

The circumstance in 'Guy Manncring,' of
Brown being indebted to Meg Merrilies for
lodgings and protection, when he lost his way nearDerncleugh, finds a remarkably precise counterpart in an anecdote related of Jean Gordon: A farmer, with whom she had formerly been on good term?, though their acquaintance had been interrupted for several years, lost his way, and was benighted amonir the mountains of Cheviot. A light glimmering through the hole of a desolate barn, that had survived the farm-house to which it once belonged, guided him to a place of shelter. He knocked at the door, and it was immediatly opened by Jean Gordon. To meet with such a character in so solitary a place, and probably at no great distance from her clan, was a terrible surprise to the honest man, whose rent, to lose which would have been ruin to him, was about his person. Jean set up ajoyfnl shout of recognition, forced the farmer to dismount, and, in the zeal of her kindnesshauled him into the barn. Great preparations were making for supper, which the gudc man of Lochside, to increase his anxiety, observed was calculated for at least a dozen guests. Jean soon left him no doubt ursri the subject, but inquired what money he had about him, and made earnest request to be made his pursekeeper for the night, as the 'bairns' would soon be home. The poor farmer made a virtue of necessity, told his story, and surren

This arrangement being made, the farmer lay down on a sort of shake down, upon some straw, as will easily be believed slept not. About midnight the gang returned with various articles of plunder, and talked over their exploits in language that made the farmer tremble. They were not loni;
in discovering their guest, and demanded of
Jean whom she had there'. ;E? en the winsome gudeman o1 Lochside, poor body replied Jean; he's been at Newcastle seeking for siller to pay his rent, honest man, but de' il-be-licket he's been able to gather in. and sae he?s gaun e'en hame vF a toora purand a sair heart.' 'That may be Jean" replied one of the banditti, but we maun ripe his pedches a bit, and see if it be true or no.' Jean set up her throat in exclamation against this breacli of hospitality, but without producing any change in their determin-

Til tell you what' replies the sailor, "take off the odd and I'll give you the even.'" "Well' returned the doctor, uwe wont quarrel about trifles.' The sailor laid down sixpense, and was walking off, when the doctor reminded him of his mistake "No mistake at all, sir; six is even, and seven odd. all the world over, so I wish you a good day."

Edwards relates in the history of the West Indies, that a negro, who had been sent as a courier to a considerable distance, threw himself down as soon as he had delivered his packet, and immediately fell into a profound sleep. When the answer which he was to take back, was ready, a domestic shook him and said, uMass: says you must not sleep, you must get up."'
