THE FUTURE. DT THE LATE LORD BYRON. When coldness wraps the suffering clay. Ah, whether strays the immortal mind? It cannot die, it cannot stay. But leaves its darkening dust behind. Then unenibodicd, doth it tra c By step each planet's heavenly way.

Or fill at once the realms of space, A thing of eyes, that all survey ? Eternal, boundless, undecayed, A thought unseen, but seeing all : All all in earth or skies displayed, Shall it survey, shall it recall : Each fainter trace that memory holds, So darkly of departed years, In one broad glance the Soul beholds, And all that was, at once appears. Before Creation peopled earth, Its eves shall roll through chaos back;

And where the furthcrest heaven had birth, The Spirit trace its rising track; And where the future mcrs or makes, Its glance dilate o'er all to be. While sun is quenched or system breaks, Fixed in its own eternity. Above or love, hope, hate, or fear. It lives all passionless and pure : An age shall fleet like earthly yearIts vears as moments shall endure. Away, away, without a wing. O'er all, through all, its thoughts shall fly, A nameless and eternal thing Forgetting what it was to die?

The poor widow however for a long time knew not how cruelly the kindness of her self and daughter had been requited It was revealed to her when it could no longer be concealed, and the last consolation of the cottagers, the consciousness of virtue and its accompanying peace of mind, was gone.

THE MICROSCOPE AND GENERAL ADVERTISER,

Is published every Saturday in A'c Albany

inaunc, cy the underairncd. IN a country abounding with cvrrv nrn-

duction of nature, accessary to render life comfortable, and facilitate the spirit of enterprise, it is usual for the eye ot the inquLsititc ami scientific traveller, to look for those emblems of refinement, the fruition of genius in the lap of ease and plenty, and to estimate

the state ct society by the perfection of the arts and the patronage extended to the Press in the general dissemination of useful knowledge. The Press, is an organ of truth, has contributed more to the expulsion of fanaticism, and superstition and consequently tyranny, than any other means within the ample sphere of the scientific world ; not kimply by the declarations of truth, w hich have often been found iimimcient to combat ancient errors and primitive prepossessions, but, by the force of Criticism and the keenest Satires, directed w ith circumspection, modesty, decorum, and a just regard for the feelings of the virtuous. In the Commercial transactions of the world, the influence of the Press is acknowledged by all experience, as a spur to the general activity of business, guarding the unwary from the merciless grasp of the fraudulent speculator. The Farmer, above every other department in society, derives peculiar advantage from the Press fixe from the control of the ambitious, the influence of the aspiring office-hunter, and the dictatorial ju

risdiction of the "well-bom" the Press will ever be a principal pillar in the Agricultural Temple. When it is considered that the wealth and treasure of a nation depends cr. the Agriculturist, and that the policy ot a certain class of men, who live on the earnings of others, has, and ecr will be, to draw from the farmer, by various pretexts, a sufliciency of his substance, to maintain them in idle luxury; it will be the obvious duty of the Press to expose and point out those usurpations, when they tend only to oppress the industrious, and feed the idle. This duty the Press has ever performed, when free from an undue influence when independent when purely Republican. Thlc duty the Microscope has performed, with faithfulness and without fear but not without feeling the ruthless hand of tyranny.
