MISCELLANY.

From the N. E. Palladium. NATIONAL ODE. Tune Scots wha ho? wC Wallace bled. Descendants of a Pilgrim Band, Sons of those who freed our Ian J, Braved the tyrant's lifted band, And bled for Liberty:. Ye, who independence prize, Let the grateful song arise, Let the antbem rend tbe skies, 'Tis Freedom's Jubilee. . .When once oppression revel'J here, And minions ruled our hemisphere, . And vainly sought a throne to ftar, In sovereign sway to reign, The spirit of our fathers spoke, Freemen scorned a tyrant's yoke, Oppression's galling chains were broke, In Freedom's fair domain. Myrmidons beset our shore, The foe was met and triumphed o'er, The "blast of war was heard no more; Forever vve are free: Foes in vain may threaten wars, . Strength is in our righteous cause, Just and equal are our lawsj Here is Liberty. It the strifes of Europe rage, Let her potentates engage, Eternal wars let tyrants wage, Far across tbe deep: Peace shall dwell within our land, Plenty semis with open hand, Freedom shall forever stand, I's (eajple we will keep. Honor to the remnant few, Those who first to battle flew, Heroes who the eabre drew. ; And sfiil survive ttje fray; Lt them rst in roseate bovvers, Crown their broivs with civic llowers, Peace attend their wasting hours, v Who fought and won the day. Hail to thee enduring Sage, Nestbr of a patriot age, Bright shall be thy storied page, Sag of Carrolton: A nation8 gratitude is thine, Fame for thee a wreath shall twine. Millions shall, their prayers combine, To cheer thy setting bun. f I. - ; THE RUINS OF TIME. The car of victory, tbe plume, the wreath, Defend not from the bolt of faCe the brave, No note the clarion of renown can breathe, To alarm the ioDg night of tbe lonely grave, Or check the headlong haste of time's o'erOnce more the earth completed her circuit around the burning and brilliant luminary of heaven. 1 he wheels of lime still roll on and bury every moment in tbe dust, the wrecks of former revolutions'. The monuments of arts and ge nius, the temples of ambition, pride and vanity, every moment spring up and are hurled to the earth in the path of man, and serve to remind him of the mutability of all human greatness and all human or ran dftiir. To him how urcenant with the wrecks and ruins and revolutions of time. They are the oracles of ages they speak like a trumpet from the tomb. They speak with a voice of thunder to the heart a voice more impressive than the toi.ue of TuJly, more symphonious than the harp of Homer, more picturesque than the pencil of Appelles. I fed in my soul the grandeur of my exalted theme. I see the venerable shade of time as he stands for a moment on the pedestal of years ; his white locks streaming in the winds of winter; his aged hand nointL'd totheruiusof empires, and his

'trembling form bendmgover the tombsof(the great Roman Forum where the thunoriental genius where the lamp of glory jders of Cicero's eloquence struck ter-

stili burns and the light of immortality streams. Roll back the billow tide of time,

rock and bathes its high battlements in thVblue clouds of heaven; but behold, .triumphant time hurls it with all its irrar.deurto the dust. So it is with man himself, whose hot ana hurried existence precipitates the hour of his own dissoluearth 'hey rise, flourish, and pass away as if they had never been. Where now is ancient Esypt, the land of science and sacred recollections? Where are her thousands of cities her Thebes, her Memphis, hr oracle of Ammon? The red, arm of the Uoth and Vandal have levelled them with the dust: the serpent now inhabits the temple where the worshipper once knelt the knee of adoration the oracle hath been silent for ages, and the priestess long since fled from her fallii'gshrine. And where are the cloud capt pyramids of Egypt, the wonder of the world? Alas, they still stand as mournful monuments of human ambition. But where are the kings who planned, and the minion ui iiuseram slaves wno erected them? Gone down to the grave; the rank w d waves over the sepulchre of their mouldering bones. And such shall ho the fate of those pyramids which bave stood for ages a the bracons of misguide d inrnition; the wave of time shall roll over them nd bury them for ever in the general mausoleum of ages.

And hath all the dory and grandeur ofjthe legions of Carthage, led on by the

the world thus yielded to the victorious tooth of time? Go seek an answer amid the wrecks of Palmyra, Balbtck and Jerusalem. Behold the city of God hath fallen through her tottering temples & ruined battlements, the shade born beetle wheels his dreary flight,.and the roar ing lion of the desert hath made his lair in the .sepulchre of the Saviour. The musing traveller in vain searches for the splendid temple of Solomon; its crumbling columns are beneath his feet its sublime imagery is pictured in the land scape of imagination, but the glory of the world hath departed forever. O! where are the millions of once active be ing?, who once inhabited the sacred city, and whose voices once made the (emplo vocal with songs of praise! Alas, they are lost amid tnc unaisunguisnabie wrecks of time. Their bones are beaching ou their native hills, even more desolate than their once celebrated city. Time like death is ah impartial conqueror. The monuments of genius and the arts fall alike before him in the path I 1 I 1 J I 1 a of his irresistable might. He hath uprooted ihe firm foundations of greatness and grandeur, nor, less hath he desolated the gardens of oriental genius. Alethinks I see him pointing with triumph to the tottering temples of Greece, and smiling at the ruins of Athens Sc Sparta, the home of that illustrious philosopher, who gave learning to the imperi I son of Philip, and where S;lon and Lycurgus gave laws to the world. But these cities are in ruins their philosophers are dumb in death; the academy, the Porch, md the Lyceum, no longer resound with the doctrines of Plato, Zeno, and their illustrious competitors. Their iame aione has survived the general wreck. Vhat a lesson is this for the growing empires of the earth. Greece, the glory cf the world, the bright luminary of learnii g, liberty and laws, prostrate in the dust; her light of genius and ihe arts quenched in the long night of time; her philosophers, statesmen, heroes and poets, mingling with the fragments of her! fallen grandeur. Go to the temple of Diana a: .hphesus and the ora le of Delphos and ask the story of her renown, the story of her dissolution. Alas! that temple hath long since perished as a flood of flame, and the last oracle hath died on the lip of iEolus. But she fell not before the flaming sword of Mahomet without a struggle. It was the last ex pil ing struggle of a brave &. illustrious nation; and her full was like that of the Colossus at the Rhodes she was iccog. uized aione by the fragments of her re nown. When the conquering arm of Rome spread the Imperial banner above her walls, her literature Sz. learning sui vived the fall; but when the second time she fell beneath the Tartar horde, the last gleam of Grecian glory was extinguished in Bayzantium's tomb. Mournful to the mind of man, are the records of departed greatness. Where is the imperial city of the Caesars, the once proud mistress of a subjugated world. She lies low, but still mighty in the dust, methi . ks 1 am seated amid the melancholy ruins of Rome. Arou?d me are strewed the crumbling fragments of other ages, and before me are the tumbling temples once hallowed by the footsteps of the Caesars. But where is the dttage ol Romulus, the golden palace of Nero, and the shrine of Appollo and the Mu-cs! They are mingling with the wrecks of other times. And where is ror to tyrants. There the shepherd boy roams, and the fleecy flocks feed. There where the Tribunal and the Rosbreeze." Tnose walls are now silent, where lully once thundered, and the the Collogmm, which stood in ancient days like a mountain of marble, and 'where the strong armed gladiator bled, 'and the untamed tygers of the forest died! Behold it still stands tottcrinsr to decay, but the thousands of spectators have departed, and the thunders of applause have died in echoes along the ruined arches. The red sun now goes down, and sheds his last ray upon its grey battlements, and the mellow moonbeams glimmer through the ivy crowned walls and the gloomy galleries, The footsteps of the solitary traveller now echoes alone where the mighty Csesars applauded, and the clash of the combat sounded. But is this all? Alas Rome

is eloquent even in ruins- the city ofiered with the risinc city. Where the

the seven hills is strewed with the frag ments 01 omer ages, uo muse over the fallen forums of Tragjan, Tierva and Domitian a few pillars of Parian mar ble alone remaia to tell the world that they once have been. Go and cv.zi on the ruins of the palace of the Caesars descend into the catacombs, and rume nate amid the bleaching bones of the early christians, persecuted by the de mon of superstition even to death. Go climb the lofty towers of Rome, and sur vey the melancholy mementos of other times and other men. And was this the mighty Home that once stood agaiust

victorious Hannibal? It is the same,

though fallen. And where is Carthage? Buried in the vortex of oblivion. Could the shades of the Immortal Cicero, Horace and Virgil, revisit the earth, and stray through those scenes which they have immortalized in song and eloquence, how would they be struck with the mutability of all human grandeur. . O time, mighty is the strength of thy arm! The wonders of the world have fallen before thee. Witness ye walls of! Babylon, covered with ariel gardens, and thou great statue of Olympian Jove The most celebrated cities of antiquity have been buried beneath the irresistable waves of time! Go read an example in the fate of Syracus, the city of Archimides, whose single arm repelled the hosts of Rome, and dared to niiive the world if he might have foundations io his feet. That splendid city is in ruins j her philosopher sleeps in the dust; and where are his mighty engines of war. They are swept from the recollection of man. Go and read another example from the fate of the far famed Troy. Seek there for the palaces of Priam, once illumined with the smiles of the fickle, though beautiful Helen, for whom Sparta fought and Troy fell. Alas, those palace halls are silent, and the towers ol llioo lie level with the dust. Old Priam hath long since departed from the earth, and the graves of Paris and his paramour,are unknown. The mighty Hector too, the brave antagonist of Archilies is no more. The glory of the House of Priam hath departed forever. The invaders and the invaded sleep together in the common mausoleum of time, and their deeds live only in the title of Homer's song. Such are a few instances of the ravages of time. Nor less hath our own loved land been the scene of dessolation. Here may be seen the ruinsofan Indian empire, more extended than tht empires of the East and though they were children of the forest, and though they left no monuments of sculpture, painting and posey, yet great were tr.ey in their fail and sorrowful is the story of their wrongs. They oiice had cities, but where are they ? they are swept from the face of the earth. They had their temple of the sun, but the sanctunry is bro ken down, and the beams of the delieri luminary extinguished. It is true, they worshipped the Great Spirit, the Ginius of Storms and darkuess the sacred pages of revelation had never been unrolled to them the gospel of ihe Sa viour had never sounded in the ears the poor children of the forest.

cloud that rose in wrath from the west they acknowledged his universal henifi ceuce in the setting sun", as he suitk to his burning bed. Here another race once lived here, along these shores the council fire blazed, and the war whoop echoed among their native hills. Heir 'he dark browed Indian oace bathed lis? manly limbs in the river, and his light canoe was saeri to glide over his own loved lakes. Centuries passed awav and they still roved the undisputed masters of the western world. But at length a pilgrim bark deep freighted from ihe east came darkening on their shores. They yielded not their empire tamely, but they could not stand against the sons of light They fled. With slow and solitary step they took up their mournful march to the west, and yielded with a broken heart their native hills to another race. They left their homes&the graves of their fathers to explore western woods where no human foot had ever trod, and where no human eye ever penetrated. From time to time they have been driven back, and the next remove will be to the bosom of the stormy Pacific. Unhappy children! the tear of pity has been shed over yo'ir wrongs and your sufferings. What bosom but beats with sympathy over the mournful story of their woes. Asa race of men, they are fast fading from the face of the earth, and ere many circuits shall have passed, they shall have been swept from the annals of acres. Ere Ion?, the last wave of the west will roil over them. and their deeds only live in the traditions they shall leave behind them. The march of mind has been to them the march of the grave. Every age they have rapidly declined, and a lingering remnant is now left to si$h over the ruins of their empire and the memory of their brave progenitors. The golden harvest now waves over the tomb of their fathers, and the forest that once echoed tothe wardance is now cov wigwam once stood , the tall teranle ded icated to God, now glitters in the setting sun; and the river, unrippled but by the Indian canoe, is now white with the sails of commerce. And when they shall have passed away when the last Indian shall have stood upon his native hills in the west, and shall have worshipped the settingsun forthe last time perhaps some youth may rove to the green mound of Indian sepulture, and ask with wonder, what manner of beings they were. How must the poor child of the forest weep, and how must his heart tnrob with anguish, when he mufes ont

the ruins of hia race, and the melahcholyj

destiny of his children. The ploughshare hath passed over the bones of hU ancestors, and they sleep in the land of strangers, aud of the conquerors ol tneir dying race. Methinks I see the stately Indian, as he bends from the brow of the mistv mountain, aud surveys with a swel ling lipart, the once extended limits of the Indian empire. The gnei oi years is in his soul, and he bends his knee in meek submission before the Great Spirit in the clouds. Unhappy child my soul mourns over the ruined hopes of your fading race. MILFORP BARD.
