- : For the Independent Republican. ,
Tho of, FeO.r' - •
The summer clouds that veiled the Nest
In evening's twilight robe were drest,
And on night's•dusky brow, afar,- •• '•
Gleamed forth the gentle evening star, -
As, far across the'prairie wide,
Where wild flowers slept on every:side,
Upon mquier river's brink, • -
Whose tiny wavelets rose and sank,"
I sat beneath the oak tree's shade,
Where timidly the starlight strayed,
• And, mdsing•in a thOughtfut mood,
I gazed upon the mimic flood. •
Beyond the - stream the ivy wild
With elingitig, graceful tendrils availed, ,
And crept along a fallen oak, ' '
Uprooted by - the lightning's stroke;
While prairie woodbines, blooming fair, • '
Were inte.ispersed with roses rare;
And overhead the willow wept
O'er joys that in oblivion. slept.
As there I traced each fleeting cloud,
Unconsciously I spoke aloud :
"If this is earth, what morels given •
To form - a perfect bliss—a Heaven ?
America! renowned in fame, • •
May blessings rest upon thy mama ;
May all who seek in.thee a home,,
; From thy loved borders never roam ; -
FOr in this land of liberty •
From dark oppression all are,free--
Free'as the joyous evening air, L,•
That breathes•upon this scene so fair '
• •
Free•from the power of sovereign's rod, • •
And tree to love and Worshiti'God." •
!
A rustle stole among the trees,
A whisper sounded on the breeze,-
-Then louder:breathing, plainly dear, • -
A voiee.of inusicinei, my eat: t` •
"Yes that•is-Carth, bet morOs given
- To fhrm a perfect bliss—at Heaven.
Americal. although thy name . .
Is carved in' glowing deeds .of Came, ,
Though now the history of thine age •
Is firmly traced on F,reedom'S page, -
Dark cletuls are in-thy native sky,
And storms of might and po!cr are nigh.
What though the iose blooms bright at morn,
..Beneath it 'mks the piercing 'thorn ;,
- And when the winds see,n.lulted to sleep;
Tim wildest stem breaks o'er the deep.
Within thy borders Slavery's Wail
llo.ourids, till Liberty is pale; . -
And though thy banner proudly waves,'
'lt fails to screen thy weeping slaves. ,
•• By,constant toil ancrcare oppressed,
• With torr_ow worn, stiangers to'rent,
-- Their prayers for help, to God on - high, •
Have passed the limits of the.sky ;•• - .
• ,And Ile who strengthens theln that mourn,
Who shield:~ the tender lambkin shorn,'
Will sever soon the mighty chain
That binds their heartsin ceaseless pain.
,The clouds in ,yonder midnight sky,
With thicatesiing brows are Sailing by ;
And night would dark sitd cheerless seem,
• .Ungilderthy afitar's.bright beam;
Thus'on the brow of Slavery's night
Faint glows the i'taf of Freedom's light; .
And patriot hearts beat high-and warm,
As through each: fierce and adverse storm
Their faith beholds its burning rays,
On which they fix thdranigntgaze. :-
Then hasten on the joyous day ,
When dark oppression's gloomy sway
Is overthrown, and then shall, be
:.•; Our land the blissful and the free.
• When Slavery's tiondage is unknown,
In the - loved Laid we call our.own;
' With oneunited cheering voice -
• Shall every freeinan's heart rejoice."
Like echoes-of a warbling bird,.
Those
Those earnest tones, so plainly beard,
One moment sweet prolonged their stay,
- Then faint and stiffly:died away ;
But still these thrilling words-by has
Will never unremembered he
For in Mrmenery they will dwell
-.Till life shall bid its last farewell.

These, furnished with Iriehness and even:

magnificence. • - •
While I was.in Italy I spent-not a dollar

A faint fragrance floated in - the air; as if
the breath of-beauty still lingered Upon
An impression seized upon him, that the
