dor, or beauty, and happiness, for which it was created. Wo accordingly believe that poetry, far from injuring society, is one of the groat instruments of its refinement and exaltation. It lifts the mind above ordinary life, gives it a respite from depressing cares and awakens the consciousness of its affinity with what is pure and noblo. In its legitimate and highest efforts, it has the same tendency and aim with Christianity that is, to spiritualize our nature. True, poetry has been made the inatrument of vice, the pander of bad passions, but when genius thus stoops it dims its fires, and parts with much of its power and even when poetry is enslaved to licentiousness or misanthropy, she cannot wholly forget her true vocation. Strains of pure feelings, touch* es of tenderness, images of innocent happiness, sympathies with suffering virtue, bursts of scorn or indignation at the hollowness of the world, passages true to our moral nature, often escape

germs or principles of

his whole future being are now wrapped up in his soul, as the rudiments of the future plant in the seed. As a necessary result of this constitution, the soul, possessed and moved by these mighty though rnfant energies, is perpetually stitching beyond what is present and risible, struggling against the bounds of its earthly prison-house, and seeking relief and joy in imaginings of unseen and ideal being.

ind poetry is the form in which these ener-, tne oromer 01 iries RrQ ciuefly manifested. Lt is the glorious «Md,ng up against the whole host, "is she Lrwative of this art that it "maltes

an immoral work, and

shows how hard it is for a gifted spirit to divorce itself wholly from what is good. Poetry has an alliance with our best affections. It delights in the beauty and sublimity of the outward creation and of the soul. It indeed portrays, with terrible energy, the excesses of the passions but they are passions which show a mighty nature, which are full of power, which command awe, and excite a deep though shuddering sympathy. Its great tenaency and purpose is, to carry the mind beyond and above the beaten, dusty, weary walks of ordinary life to lift it into a purer element, and to breathe into it a more profound and generous emotion*. It reveals to us the loveliness of nature, brings back the freshness of early feeling, revived the relish of simple pleasures, keeps uiiquenehed the enthusiasm which warmed the spring time of our being, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human nature by vivid delineation of its tenderest and loftiest fueling*, spreads our sympathies over all classes of society, knits us by new ties with universal being, and through the brightness of its proplietic visions, helps to lay hold on the future life. .{„

We are aware that it is objocted to poetry, that it gives wrong views and excites false expectations of life, peoples the mind with shadows and illusions, and builds up imagination on the ruins of wisdom. That there is a wisdom against which poetry wars, the wisdom of the senses, which makes physical com' fort and gratification the supreme cood, and wealth the

chief

interest of life, we do not de

ny nor do we deem it the least service which poetry renders to mankind, that it redeems them from the thraldom of thisearthborn prudence. But passing over this topic, we would observe, that the complaint against poetry as abounding in illusion and deception, is in the main groundless* In many poems there is

more of truth than in many histories and

philosophic theories. The fictions of genius

are often the vehicles of the sablimest varie-

ries of our being. In poetry, when the tetter

is falsehood, the spirit. is often the profound,

the present life, which »the first stage of the

immortal mind, abounds in the materials of

poetry,and it is the high office of the bard to

bounds in the poetic. TIh, wbW. ___j hevond ourselves and stretch wr into of mighty jmssions, which seems to arm the soul with a saperhuman energy the innocent and irrepressible joy of infancy the bloom, a^ buoyancy, and dazzling hopes of youth the tfarobbmgs of the heart when it first wakes to love, and dreams of a happiness too vast for earth woman, with her beauty, and grace and gentleness, and fulness of feeling, and depth 0f affection and blushes of purity, and the tones and looks which only a mother's breast can inspire —these are all poetical. It is not true that the poet paints a life which does not exist. He only extracts and concentrates, at it were, life's ethereal essence, arrests and condenses its volatile fragrance, brings together its scattered beauties, and jpro» 16ngs its more refined but evanescent joys. And in this he does well for it is good to feel that life is not wholly usurped by cares for subsistence, and physical gratifications, but admits, in measures which may be indefinitely enlarged, sentiments and delights worthy of a higher being. This power of poetry to re firvo

our

our nature, which has

never been fully developed, and which goes further towards explaining the contradictions of human life than all others, carries us to the very foundation and sources of poetry. He who cannot interpret by his own consciousness what we now have said, wants the true key to works of genius. He has not penetrated those sacred recesses of the soul, where poetry is born and nourished, and inlmles immortal vigor, and wings herself for her heavenward flight. In an intellectual nature, framed for progress and higher modes of being, there must

picts those modes of repose or agitation, of tenderness or sublime emotion, which manifests its thirst for a more powerful and joyful existence. To a man of liberal and prosaic character, the mind may seem lawless in these workings but it observes higher laws than it transgresses, the laws of the immortal intellect it is trying and developing its best faculties and in the objects which it describes, or in the emotions which it awakens anticipates

the Ladtft World of Fathin THE SON'S WIFE.

BY ELLEN ASHTON. ,LI

"I know we shan't like her," said AuntSa rah, decisively, putting her knitting needlo in its sheath, "her mother was queer before her and every body knows theStapleton's are an odd set. A mechanic's daughter too I" "But what have you against them I" ask ed the brother of the intended bridegroom

°f

Mary Stapleton lived in a country vilhtge, but mingled little in its gossippiiig society, For there were but few there with whom she could have sympathy. When we say that she was good-looking, if not beautiful of singularly amiable disposition and gentle manners well informed, graceful, accomplished, and of talents above mediocrity, we have told why she was loved by young Irvine, or, as his family familiarly called him, "our Tom,"—the most desirable match in the village. His father—who was dead—had been a judge, and possessing much property, had been looked up to by the neighborhood as the great man of the country. Most of the females of the family gave themselves airs in consequence, for, by a singular fatality, all the daughters of Judge Irvine partook rather of the mother's vain andshallow character, than of the truly estimable disposition of the father his strong common sense and liberal views having descended to his two sons, as if these traits, to use his own expression, "had been entailed on his heirs male." The Stapletons were a family of mechanics time out of mind, and therefore beneath the notice of the Irvine's, so that when young Irvine began visiting the daughter, a hubbub ensued, the like of which had not beon known since Irvinville was built. But the young man had an obstinate habit of having his own way, and all the sly inuendos of his sister and aunts, fend even one or two direct attacks of his lady mother, failed to have any effect on him. He still visited Mary Stapleton, and at length announced his approaching marriage with her..

The conclave of aunts and sisters and other relatives, who always constitute a sort of committee, of advice on such occasions, was thunderstruck. Marty Mary Stapleton—the thing was preposterous! To visit her was bad enough, but to make her his wife—why, the blood of the Irvine's would cry out against it, and it was questionable whether their knightly ancestors could thereafter sleep quietly in their coffins. A grand sanhedrim was summoned, to which the offender's brother was invited, and the result we have seen.— No one thought of remonstrating with the young man, for all knew the determination which formed the most striking part of his character, and they were, therefore, tain to content themselves with finding fault witli the intended bride and, since not one knew any thing of her, this was no very difficult task.

"tir"And as proud as Lucifer," chimed in a sixth, in a yet higher key. "And Tom will get enough of love and Mary Stapleton before six months, if she's the coquette I've heard," said the last, with a shrill intonaiion, that rose over the din of the battle. Tom's brother smiled, and to avoid the tempest he could not allay, darted out of the room.

They were married. Now, as Mrs. Irvine prided herself on

Whenever the Stapletons could be decently tame,and mnale* To the gifted eye it *". omitted, thcy were not invited but at Mr*.

Irvine's il was, impossible not to bride's parents and sisters* So, at Mr*. If* vine's* regular attack was to be mideottH» Stapletons, in order to expose their lgdOfftOB* and ill-breeding* "A song from the bride/' said one* in tip secret* as soon as the piano was opened.

Now it was generally understood among he Irvine's that the bride could not play, and the best performer of their party was, on her declining, to astound the Stapletons. But the bride ignorantly threw consternation among her enemies by quietly sitting down at the instrument, and performing in a style which set all competition at defiance. "How beautiful 1" was the involuntary claraation extorted even from those who envied her most. "I had no idea die understood music, and so thoroughly." said one. •'When could she have learned it t" iaii another.

To-morrow came, and with it a'party at a sister of the late Judge Irvine. It was known tbat Mrs. Seymore had the-only, harp in the village, consequently it was impossible that the bride knew how to play on the instrument. We shall not attempt to paint the astonishment of the conspirators when she walked composedly to the harp, and played a very difficult piece, accompanying it with her voice. An involuntary buret of delight testified the opinions of the company, the male portion of which, not being in the secret of the plot, did not hesitate to express approbation. "Where did your sister learn the barpt" asked one of the Irvines. "She spent two years in Philadelphia," was the quiet answer. *.

Every evening during the week'some new attempt was made to unmasktas the conspirators said, ihe want of breeding and accom* plishments in the son's wife but each trial met with signal disappointment and, at the end of the wedding festivities, even the heads of the plot were forced to confess that the bride was a most accomplished Iady,and that even her family were well informed for the descendents of mechanics.

But prejudice is always stubborn. The lit tie clique which determined to put down the son's wife, still insisted that she was extrava-, gant.and that, however talented she might be, she needed that practical sense which is most valuable for the ordinary duties of life. Her

"ew"c'aPaiity

was keenly scrutinized, and the transactions at the son's house became a daily subject of gossip at the elder Mrs. Irvine's. But even envy and prejudice combined could find nothing to blame and before many weeks the conspirators began to growjbeartily ashamed of themselves. ."Well," ot length said Aunt Sarah to the elder Mrs. Irvine, "I do say that 1 never saw a neater house than Mary's is,and from what Tom says they make a little eo a great ways. I'm beginning to think theses something in them Stapletons after all. Vm sure Cicely here has improved wonderfully in her music since your daughter lessons."

Mrs* Irvine waa ljlent for some timj length looked up from her work. "I don't find any fault with her, and I say I ever did. I had mv suspicions that T| had been taken in, but I've fouftd that hefcnew better than we what kind of a wife^ Mary would make. You know I told you all, from the first, that she was to be treated with due politeness as my daughter-in-law/'

Notwithstanding this full admission, it had been along time before the mother-in-law could be brought to acknowledge her new daughter's merits but her prejudices had at length given way before the sweetness and many virtues of her sou's wife. After this acknowledgment, it was wonderful how quickly the rest of the family saw the worth of the young wife and indeed, in the short space of a year from this time, she became the oracle, in all matters of taste especially, tothe younger Irin

The son never alluded to thesubject in their presence but once, when he said, "And so, Aunt Sarah, you thought I was, throwing myself away when I married do you think so now?"

Aunt Sarah and the rest of the council looked down, and were silent.
