POETRY.

From the Trenton True American CHRISTMAS EVE. Twas night and silence reigned around, The day. with all its scenes were past, And een the rude winds rustling , sound, Had echoed o'er its latest blast. Like an unwearied cejitinel, The pallid moon still calm and clear, Look'd out amid the clouds that swell ; (Vith threatning frowns around her sphere. And who, (I cried) that loves her beams Would ask a happier hour than this ? The hour that warms the poet's dreams, The thoughts that charm us into bliss ! iiOi child of woe, if thou wouldst soothe, The sorrows thou cans't not forget, . Come rest thee, here this scene will smocthe,

Thy brow, and make thee

happy yet.'

t paused for on the light wind borne, A voice in whispers, seemed to say, " This night the SAVIOUR left his throne, To take the sins of man away. " The stars that shine in yonder sky, Then smiled upon this favored earth, And from their splendid sperc on hih, JRcjoiced at a REDEEMER'S birth. "The silver moon and orbs of fire, "With Heaven and earth shall pass away, And thou who dost their glov admire, , ,k hhy'tt one day sec their beams , decay. cfi To raise thec on those heights . eublime, , ' To bid thec wander farther still, And visit each far distant dime, 'Twixt earth and the Eternal Hill. " For this the world's REDEEMER came, Drunk the iicrce draught by vengeance given, An'l bared iiis bosom to the flame, Man' sin had kindled up in Heaven." . Softly the spirit passed away, The stars grew dim the moon

was gone ; The angry clouds with threatning sway j 1 And midnight's ckilling dews came on. Amaz'd 1 left the changing scene, Bur still the darkness followed me, (oui zcas dark-$d had it been,

So, but for this, it still might be. I heard a voice, in darkness say, Mortal there's nothing true but Heaven, And every cloud was rolled away, Like smoke before the breath of even. BELMONT. ' Trenton, December 2d, 181 7. EXPORTS. By a report of the secretary of the treasury to congress, it appears that the exports of the linked States during the last year amounted to more than eighty-seven and a half millions of dollars of which sixty-eight millions and upwards were of domestic produce or manufacture. The article of flour alone, amounted to more than seventeen and a half .millions of dollars. Oin. Gazette, Prospect of Rapid Communtcatien. The machinery prepaied for the steam boat, destined to ply between Sandusky and Buffalo, has arrived on the lake. When this boat is in operation, the communication between Albany and Sandusdy will be performed in less than J!vediys. Such a road may be easily constructed between this town Columbus and Sandusky as would cause a stage passage in enc day. This latter event is not as probable to be accomplished as we could wish. Bui the idea of the practicability of transition from the capital off Ohio to the capital of New York in six days is gratifying to men of enterprise. Ohio Monitor.
