MISCELLANY. r

S )m i unknown tins favored us, through the past office, with several poetical pieces over the signature of "Farms." The following frorri that source is not without merit; and if an original production, is very creditable to the writer. , ST. HELENA. The winds that sigh along its shore, Roam o'er the conquerer's grave; And there is heard the distant roar, Of ocean's wildest waver IJjpoteoiVs su'i, forever et Within that gbomy isle, No more shall light the dreary earth, Or on the ocean smile. The slar that beamed o'er all the world, And TUmined heaven's vault. Has sunk in ocean's darkest isle, Ikyond the worlds insult. He rode on victory's proudest car, With conquest in his eye, He hurPd the tyrants from their thrones, And eliook the earth and sky. His sword the widow's tears avenged, The orphan's moans he heard, And in the oppressors' dearest bljod, lit- dyed the avenging sword. He lifted high his blocd stained arm, And swore the world to free; With victory perched upon his crest, He bide the cowawls flee. At Waterloo his high fornvd hopes Were crushed by British power, , And all ambitions fine-drawn scenes Were blasted in an hour. And in that hour Napoleon's star, In gloomy darkness stt, Amid misfortunes low'ring clouds, That in the heavens met. Atlantic waves now wash the tale, That keeps his mouldering form, Aiid o'er his silent resting pUce, Sweeps ocean's wildest btorm. Flavics, LOVE LETTER. The Lancaster G-Z'Mte say, the folIcwuig love sung had its origin in the following circumstances: W hen Trumbull the Connecticut Bird, was quite young, a youth of his acquaintance, named Jacob was grievously smitten with the charms of one JVanvy Szveeting. In managing an ahVir to peculiarly interesting, the sufferer dared not trust his own pen or his own stock of brains, and most ardently requested Trumbull's friendly assistance. The poet promised to do his best) if he 'might write in poetry and in Jacob name. To this the burning lover agreed, and the following was soon on its destined course: To thee my Nancy, tbee my Sicetting, Poof prisoner Jtcob sendeth greeting, Whereas, 60 please the powers above, I'oj falling desperately in love. For Coptd look & station sly Jo one bngbtcoroer of your eye, And from his bow let fly a dart, "Which missed my ribs and reached my heart. Fierced thro' and thro' and passing farther, Put all my insides out of order. TSqx this the only plague I found Lore entered at the viewless wound, As mice Into a cheese will creep Through a small crack, and entering deep, While all without looks fair and well, Tney leave too cheese an empty shell. So thievish lov at once broke through, Stole and bore off tny heart to you, And left mo beir'less, void of ease, An empty shrlt like foresaid cheese. Nov l poor Jacob in great smart, Beseech you to return my heartj Or else, to cur my ceaseless mosn, Blake an exchange and send your own., Oh! Nancy, thee I love morn truly Than ever Hudibras loved Trully. Nor En?ae o old or Dido, Could love one half so hot as I do. I hold my Nancy more a Goddess T han V nus fair or Diana modest, Throughout tb world tby beauties shine, TSVr has the sun sucb power as thine. Thy looks make fair or cloudy weather, Thy beauty keeps the world together, And should a dearth e'er come again, Should you frown I know 'twould rain. For you the earth produces flowers, For you clouds drop in fruitful showers, Fruits only grow that you may eat, Arfd calves and pigs to fit.d you meat, Your charming smiles which we observe. Should you withhold the world would starve, Earth would refrain ber wonted store, And plums and peaches be no more. Oh Nancy I could you once but love me, flow mighty glad poor Jacob would be; Nor time, nor fate, our love should sever, I'd stick to you like wax forever. Then have me, Nancy, for I tell you I am a pretty clever fellow, And you must think so too, for why No one can tell so well as I. Here follows then without objection The rent-roll of poor Jake's perfection. Know then, all womankind, that I hen straight am almost six feet high, IJeoce. by puin rea8ooing it appear8 Ira one of m w. grenadiers. let I, to whisper this between us, Serve only in Ibe war8 of Venus I'm brown and on K00d thing observe is, My hair is black, Ma'am, at your service. Of wit I boast not, but bave brains Enough to walk in when it rains. To know the odds 'iwixt cheese and chalk Or tell a hand -saw from a hawk. ' To csno a man should he abuse me Or hang myself if you refuse me.

Now some who judge of folks by look , ? ell me that I've a hanging look; You must direct me which to choose IV gallows rope or marriage noose I must as fate or yon incline. Hang round your neck or hang by mine. Your frowns or smiles will make or break me. So Nancy or the D 1 take me. I have some faults my foes will bawl, But I've forgiven myself of all, And so am neVr the worse I fancy, If you can think so too. my Naucy. If you for better or for worsa Take poor Jjcob to be yours, Our lov shall last so long, no doubt, Eternity will first run out. And be so groat when I unfold it, Immensity ruut stretch to hold it. And when death comes in fire and thunder, To cut our marriage-knot asunder, I'll hold you spite of wind or weaiher,

His drfs shall nail us both together Then yield, my fair, and with me take up. And i'll be yours while I am JACOB. WHO 13 A PLAUTIFUL WOMAN? Female beauty, in the limited sense of the word, is that outward form and pro portion which corresponds with the theories of poets and the rules of artists of which every nation has examples, and of which every woman has a share. But beauty, by a more natural definition of the word, is that indescribable charm, that union of many qualities of person and mind and heart. which insures to man the greatest portion of happiness.

Wherever there is moat bnsom Iran-tnith

quility, moat domestic happiness, there beauty reigns in ah its strength. L-iok at that mud hovel on one of the wild hills of Ireland; smoke is streaming from the doorand window ; a woman to healthy children and a happy husband, is portioning out a simple and scanty .mal. She is a go-id mother and an atF-ctionate

wile; and thoutp tinged hy ?m andijTS,

touched by care, she is winnlv belovp.lrj y0 young women common sense, she is lovely in her husband's eyes, andjar2e waists, and natmal feel.

is thereiore heauuiul. k into yon Scottish cottage, there i a clean floor, a bright lire, merry children, a thrifty wife, and a husband w ho is nursing the youngest child, and making a whis'le for the eldest. The woman is lovely and beautiful, and an image of thritt and good housewifery, beyond any painter's creation; her husband believes her beautiful too, and whilst making the little instrument of melody to pletse his child, he thinks of the rivals from whom he won her, and how fair she is compared to all her early companions. Or here is a house at hand, hemmed round with fruit trees and flowers, while the biossoming tassels ot noney sucute periume us as we pass in at the door. Enter, behold that English woman, out of keeping with all the rules of academic beauty, full and simple in her person, her cheeks glowing with health, her eyes shining with quiet happiness, her children swarming like summer bees, her house fchintng like a new clock, and her movements as regular asoneot Mai rat's chronometers. There sits her husband, a sleek contented man, well fed, clean lodged, and softly handled, who glories in the good looks and sagacity of his wife, and eyes her allectionately as he holds the shining tankard to his lip?, and swallows slowly, and with protracted delight, the healthy beverage which she has brewed. Now this is a beautiful woman; and why is she beautiful? She is beautiful, because the gentleness of her nature and the kindness of her heart throw a household halo round her per son, adorning her as a honey suckle adorns an ordinary tree, and impressing her mental image on our minds. Such i? beauty tn my sight a creation more honorable to nature and more beneficial to man, and in itself infiuitcly more lovely, even to look upon, than those shapes made according to 1 lie line and level of art, which please inexperienced eyes, delude dreamers, fascinate old bachelors, catch the eye and vex the heart.
