FOR THE WESTERN SUN. LOVE WHAT IS IT? Like as the virgin blush of morn. Or as the dew-drop on the horn. Or as the music's mellow strain. Or a the primrose on the plain. Or as the thoughts of former pleasure. E'en such is love's uncertain treasure. The virgin blush of morn is o'er. The dew consumes the thorn no more, The music's ceas'd, the primrose dies, The pleasure's past, and so love (lies. Like as the gaudy painted dream, Or as the sunshine's golden beam. Or as the tolling of a bell. Or as the pansy's fragrant smell. Or as the torch's glaring blaze, Fen such is love, whose charm decays. The dream is past, the sunshine's tied, The bell ii stopp'd, the pansy's dead, The smell is lost, the torch's blaze Is out and so love decavs. V1NCENNES BARD. Vincennes, July, 1831.
THE TUttONE OF BLISS. Three ladies stopped at three wide paths, On their way to the throne cf bliss, And Wit came by. With his piercing eye. And told them to go by his; But Loe and Pleasure followed soon, To relieve the maidens' cares. And each did say The shortest way To the throne of bliss was theirs. The first was on the brighter path, And found it strewed with flowers, With verses writ. On each by Wit, That kept her back for hours; y The second follow 'd Pleasure's track. And saw a thousand sweets, So thought it fair, To linger there. And taste the fairy treats. But she who trod o'er Cupid's path. Among it's honeyed store. Found every pacs O'er love's sweet place More blissful tha before. For glad young voices calPd her cn. And music's thrilling tone, 'Till lur'd bvthis. On the throne of bliss, She sat but not alone.
From the Nash ci lie Herald. DISCOVERY OF AM L III C A. The m st important event in tne histo ry of modern times is thediscovety ot the American continent, which opened so many avenues to wea'th, and anew ed tos active and laborious enterprise Previously to the first voyage of Colum
bus, the idea of another continent capable nf MlKt:;inmi nnimnl unrl in-,.t-ikln i.i'.
- "fr, v.iv UIWUIO vras lvolved upon aschimerical and visionary, but the triumphal return ol that bold
and enterprising navigator displaying the
ncn arm aneu productions oi another hemisphere, dispelled the illusion and removed all doubts, and he who was detided a a madman, ot scorned as a wiid cntnusiast, was greeted by 'he gtniious title ot benefactor ot the human race It i-as been supposed by some, that the continent of America was not unknown to tho ancients, patticularly to the Phcu niciaus, who were the earliest and mos'. irv.repid and enterprising navigators; and that they established colonics and carried on with them an extensive and lucrative commerce, and thai the tumuli, circumvallations and other ancient works which are spread over our wes
tern forests, were constructed by them. It is true tnat the Phoenicians were ex tensively engaged in commerce, and that they pissed the pillars of Hercules, now the streights ot Gibraltar, and they may iiavo ventured to untuil their sails to the breeze upon the wide spread bosom of the Atlantic, but, that they ever crossed over and established colonies in the wes tern world is a mere conjecture No ancient record now extant, points to such an event, nor is there any ves'ige
remaining; in the new world which has
of the Hebrew doctrine of the unity of God; the different tiibcs or nations, into which they arc divided, they liken to the division of the Hebrews into tribes, and as a few Indian words bear some resemblance in sound and meaning to certain Hebrew words, they conclude that they must have had the same origin. For reasons such as these, the conclusion is irresistible with them, that the oborigi nes are descended from the ten lost tribes of Israel, who traversed Asia to Bcrhing's straits, where they crossed on the ice to seek a refuge in the new world, and subsequently spread themselves to the north and to the south, and thus peopled both divisions of the western continent. The discovery of America has also been attributed to the Norwegians who, in the year 874, penetrated into Iceland, and established a colony, and in the year 932, discovered Greenland, and, it is said, crossed over to America, to which they gve the name of Vinland, and founded a colony as early as the twelfth century, in what is now called New Foundland, and that the Esquimaux are descendants of this colony The Welch also claim the discovery, but their pretensions do not rest upon a foundation e ven as solid as thatot the Norwegians In the twelfth century a dispute arose a mong the sons ol OwenGuyneth, king ot North Wales, in relation to the suc
cession to the crown. Madoc, one of
the competitors, wearied with the unpro
htable controversy, lett Wales with
some of his adherents, and sailed in
search of some other land. After lea
ving the coast of Iceland he is said to
have sailed due west, and arrived in a
strange country, with the beauty and fer
tility of which he was greatly pleased;
he returned to Wales, and having indu ced a number ot his countrymen to u nite their fortunes with his, he again set sail for the land of promise, and was never heard of more. As he never returned to Wales to give an account of his voyages and discoveries, it is very rationally concluded that he must have discovered the western continent, and there establi shed his residence The opinion of the discovery of America by the Welch prince, and his subsequent settlement, for some time gained strength from the report that, upon the waters of the Mis souri, existed a nation or tribe ot people
of fairer complexion than any other abo riginal tribe, and that they spoke the Welch language The discoveries of Lewis and Clark, and the inquiries of subsequent travellers have completely
dissipated the fanciful table, and the tale
may be said to exist at pi esent only in the
"Madoc" of Southcy, and the speculation
of Poulmin It the American continent and the ad
jacent islands were ever laid open to the
enterprise of ancient navigators, or thostr
ot more recent date to whom I have al
luded, it is an indisputable fact, that all
intercourse between the two countries
had ceased long before, and the exist
ence of the western world was entirely unknown, and unsuspected at the time Columbus proposed the discovery of new countries and unknown lands, be yond what was then considered an inter
nunable waste of waters, and he is consequently entitled to full credit for that profound sagacity which prompted the disro ery. Until the reign of John I. king ot Portugal, in the beginning ot the fit tetnth century, the Canary islands were the u-moit limit of European discovery towards the west, and were universally considered as the western boundaiy of the inhabitable world Such was the state of geographical science at that pe
riod, it was supposc-d that, were it even possible to proceed much farther, the
convex figuic of the earth would pre
vent the letutn of any vessel, or lhat it
would inevitably perish in the vain at
tempt to open a communication between
the two opposite htioisphces which r.a
ture had forever disjoined The peiiod at length arrived, says R-beitson "that men w re to pass the limi s within which
they had been so long confined, and open to themselves a more ample field wherein to display their talents, their enterprise and their courage The glory of leading the way in this new career of enterprise was reserved to the Poriu guese, the subjects of the smallest king
dom in Europe Havimr exnelled the
the fancy of the ancients pictured as ex
isting in the torrid zone. Satisfied with
adventuring thus far, they returned to Portugal. From this inconsiderable at. tempt we may date the commencement of that spirit of discovery which opened the barriers lhat had so long shut out from mankind the knowledge of one half of our globe, where, to the first discove rers nature was displayed in all her majesty. Happily for Portugal and for mankind, in priuce Henry, the fourth son of king John, was found an individual capable ot discerning the advanages which would result to his country from the prosecution of voyages of discovery. He saw
before him a wide field for commercial j Hobert Bcasly

enterprise, one ot the great sources of national an individual wealth He had previously cultivated with much care all the sciences then taught, particularly geography, and his ardent and enthusiastic mind, full of the glory ot his country, prompted him to seek all the information in his power concerning the interior of Africa, for which purpose he consulted the Moors of Batbary, who were accustomed to travel hither in search of ivory, goid dust, and other productions. He fitted out a single ship in the year 1418, which in attempting to double Cape Bo jador, was driven by a sudden storm into the open sea, and, at the moment the trembling mariners expected to be consigned to the depths of he ocean ihey discoverd an island, hitherto unknown, which they named Porto Santo. Elated with this discovery and their prouden tial escape from the horrors of being driven about at the mercy of the winds and waves upon a boundless ocean, they returned to Portugal, without making a
ny turiher discovety. isext year the island of Maderia was discovered, and in the year 1429. the first colony wasesta
blished, and the vine and sugar cane were
planted, and but few years elapsed before
the wine and sugar of Maderia became articles of considerable commerce.-
They soon after doubled Cape Bojador, and becoming more adventutoU3. the greater part of the African coast was explored from Cape B.anco to C ape de Verde, and the adjacent islands discov ered. T.
