POETRY

From the FranlUn Gazette. WHY WEEPEST THOU" Docs gloomy fate, with sullen frown, Consume tliy soul with care? Hast thou the dratt of misery known, Whose dress are darkdisArt thou epprest Ith sorrow's doom, Thy heart with anguish torn Oh, soon that sad and cheerless gloom Shall wake a brisker morn ! Then why should sorrow wrinn; the brow. t .... av, mourner, sav why weepest thou?" Docs tender love bedeck the bier, Is dust with dust innur'd ? Has one affection pih'Al so dear To Ileivcn, and God return i! The Beauteous fiow'r that charms th eye, And decks ' the smiling plain With winter's blast, does fade, and die, But dies to bloom again! Then why should sorrowwring the brow, Say, mourner, say " why weepest thou!" W. ON MUSIC. Ft A I cor s Irish Iithd:es. When through life unblest we rove, Losing all that made life dear, Should some notes we usd to m days el boyhood, meet our ear; Oh! how welcome breathes the strain; Wak'ning thoughts that long have slept, Kindling former smiles again, In faded eves that Ionr have wept. Like the gale, th.it siges along Beds of oriental flowers, In the grateful breath of song, That once was heard in happier hours: FhTdwith balm; the gale sighs on, Though the flowers have sunk in death; So, when pleasure's dream is gone, Its memory lives in music's breath! Music! oh! how faint, how weak, Language fades before thy spell! Why should feeling ever speak, When thou canst breathe her soul so well. Friendship's balmy words may feign, Love's arc even more false than they; Oh! 'tis only music's strain Can sweetly soothe, and not betray ! From the Philadelphia Umcn. WINTER. Harhl 'tis the rcquciem of the closing year! The hollow dinge of summer, s reign has sped: Loud howls the tempest to the startled car Deep moans the blast o'er autumn's glory fled. 'Tis winter! and I hail the monarch's reign!

-Hove to gaicupon that rugged brow, When 'neathits frown the slowly patting rain, Congealing, glitters on those locks of snow, I love to meet that stern, unaltered eye, , I love to grasp that cold and icy hand To mark the embattled whirlwinds of the sky. When Winter waves the seep, trc of command. Winter, thou com'st not with a villian's smile Thou bring'st, unseen no keen envenomed dart; Thy cold and bloodless lips are free from guile Thfr:zen bosom shrouds a can did heart! BOSTON BAR P.

How manifold are their ?rcics of God, and how surprising the scene of adorable Providence ! Here wheels revolve within a wheel, and all the glorious spoke are full of laming eves, sirmifvir.g omniscience and wisdom. Seeming contradictions just conduce tobring about the longed tor blessing. Where all things silent, providence aloud proclaims a God ; and to the observing eye, the government of the world in General, and of men and their affairs of Wic in particular, is not less beautiful, is not tess surprising than the creation. What mighty mountains are removed, what stupendous difficulties arc disolved, that a plain anil easy passage may be prepared for the approaching good ! O how is my souWlcwy life, and ravished with tfie sweet survey of the conduct of Providence ! All mercies are benign and comforting ; but O how do some exceedingly surprise! when I behold the instrument ol hand by which, the way and manner how, and the lime when they came. Thy path, O thou Governor of men and angeis ! is in the mighty waters, and thy footsteps are not known ; tor who can know the wavs of him who 13 wonderful in working ? 't herefore 1 approve his conduct, admire his goodness, and where 1 cannot see his end am silent and adore. Masonic Notice. Franklin Lodge, 14, held in I roy, Ohio. Masonic brethren are notified that John Thayer or James Tapin, as he has changed his name, late a resident of this place, and late a visitor, has been guilty of highly unmasonic conduct, we therefore think him unworthy the benefits and privileges of Mansonry. Said Thayer or Tapin, is by appearance a Scotchman, but savs he is from Boughheepsie, in the state ot New York, his hair is very much mixed with gray, his complexion fair, large blue eyes, about five feet 8 inches high, 35 years of age, by profession a school master, of insinuating manners. It is probable he will change his name as he has done before. Byorder of the Lodge, JOS. M. SKINNER, Sec'ry. GAMUTS For sale at this Office.
