WILLIAIII 'WORDSWORTI.
`A : correspondent of the New york Courier and
Hncipirer, who heS recently paid a visit to Words•
worth,says of him : His voice is melodious, and
his language of :the most charming simplicity.
He is now in his 79th year,-yet his countenance
is unwrinkled, and his frame scarcely bent. He
takes mach exercise, and great care to preserve
his health, and daily may be seen walking along
the, roads or over the. hills, with all the vigor of
a man still in his prime."
Thsmgla this most thohghtfal of poets still Kies,
enjoying - a green old, age, he belongs to the past
rather : than to the present. He has survived the
-friends of his youth and manhood, Coleridge and
Southey; and also outlived crisicism, which once
showered against him and them its fiercest darts.
The literary trareler who-makes a pilgrimage to
thebetrutifol country ofahelakes of Westmoreland;
invariably approaches Rydal Mount as ground
'consecrated to get:and; and whin he has seen and
conversed with 'the. greatest poet of the age, he
notes down the circumstance as an epoch in his
existence. And truly it is a sight worth seeing,
to behold the venerable author of "The : Excur.
.
sion," surveying, from the,top 'of Great 'Gavel or
cri;:rfell, the beautiful Lakes of WMadennere,
tllcswater and Havreswater, and their clusters of
islands; the romantic Vales of. Keswick, Gras.
mere and ftyrial; and the ancient:remains of cas
tles and monasteries, where, dwelt in the olden
time, 'the Cliffords and Hit'cres and Ratcliffli, and
the warlike Abbots of Furness!
WILLIAN WO/IDS*ORTII was porn at Cocker
mouth, in Cumberland, 7th April; 1770 received
a claisical education, and was. destined for the
church: He, preferred, however, poetry to preach
.ing, but his works prove that the light which lit
him was the light of , heaven. In 1793 Words
worth ,published a volume of "Juvenile Poems,"
including "Descriptive Sketches, taken during a
pedestrian tour among the Alps," whic.h attracted
considerable . attestienA This was _follotired by a
series of volumes Of poems, founded on the Affec
tions, the Fancy, the Imagination, together with
Sonnets, Memorials,- Ecclesiastical Sketches, In
scriptioni, &c., &c. The greatest of his poems is
' "The E.xcursion." It was published in 1814, and
though attacked by the critics of the Edinburg
Retict o with extraordinary malevolence, it with
. stood ..their tests'of criticism, and will be read and
admired as long as the language in which it is
'Written shall endure. Cunningham, in his History
of Literature, says: "The views of man, nature
and society, which this truly philosophical. poem
contains, 'are the offspring of -deep thought and
extensive observation. It exhibits every where
the finest sensibilities, and an imagination ruledby
reason aralbelief; it , shows a heart alive to all the
sympathies of social and domestic life, aild appeals
inisophisticated feelings in a way at,once
simple and sublime." q
The following lines were particularly cited by
the Critics as a specimen of " despicable puerility ;"
butron ;the contrary, Coleridge, in " The Friend,"
quoted "them to illustrate a similar sentiment to
that which they express, and pronounced them
admirable, from their fineness Of thought and ten
demess of feeling:
“My heart leaps up wheal behold
rainbow in the sky I
So was it when the world began;
So is it now I am a man:
So let it be when .I grow old,
Or let me die.
The Child is llther to , the Man,
And I would wish erg days to be
Bound each to each by naturalpfety.”
' That Wordsworth was not ashamed of the lines
we have the best evidence, for he prefixes - the
last three to the finest ode, in my humble opinion,
that exists in the English language. Belo* I
- transcribe this truly philosophical poem—the
lenitla of which I hope no reader will object to—
I will give a quotation from Wordsworth, and an
other from Coleridge, on the nature of poetry, as
well as on the qualities of mind requisite to con
stitute a true'poet.
Wordsworth says; "The man p 5 science seeks
_troth as a remote and unknown benefactor; he
,cheriushes and loves it in his:solitude: the Poet,
singing a song in which all human beings join
~vvith him, rejoices in the presence of truth as our
visible friend and hourly 'companion. Poetry is
the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge; it is
the impassioned expression which is the counte.
nance of all science. 'Emphatically may it be
said of the Poet, as Shakspeare bath said.of man,
that he feels before and after.' He is the rock
of defence of human nature ; an upholder and pre
.
- server, carrying every where with him relationship
- and love. In spite of difference of 101 l and cli
mate; of language and manners, of laws and cos
toms; in spite of things silently gone out of.mind
and things violently destroyed, the Poet binds to
:gether hy passion and knowledge the vast empire
of hutnan society, as it is spread over the whole
earth, and overall time. - "The object of the Poet's
thoughts are every where; though the eyes and
senses of men are, it is true, his favorite guides,
_yet he will follow'Wherever be can find an atmos.
phere of sensation in which to move his wings.
Poetry, is the first and lest of all knowledgeit is
as immortal as the - heart of man.",,,, In .his Birk

ever a great Poet, without being at the same time
a profound Philosopher; , For Poetry ris the bias

There was a time when meadow, grove and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Appareled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
It is not now as it bath been of yore;
Torn wlaeresoe , er I may,
By night Or day; • '
The thing. which I have seen I nowean see aemore.
The rainbow comes ani goes,
And' lovely is the.rose ;
The moon dotir with delight
Look round her when the heavens are hare ;
Waters on a starry night
Are beautiful and fair;
The sunshine is a glorious birth;
lint yet I know, where , er Igo,
That there' bath past away a glory from the earth.
Now, while tlie birds thus sing a joyful song,
- And while•the young lambs bound,
As to the tabor's sound,.
To me alone there 'came a thought argrief:-
A timely utterance gave that thought relief,
And I again am strong. ' ' •
The Catarhite blow their tranipets from ihe steep;
No more shall grief ofmine the season wrong;
I hear the Echoes Through the mountains throng,
The Winds come to' e from the fields of sleep,
' And all the earth is gay ;

Give themselves up to jollity,
And with the heart of May
Doth every beast keep holiday;
Thou child ofjoy,
Shout round me, let me hear, thy shouts; thou happy

Oh, evil day! if I were sullen
While the earth henielf is !denting

, And the childreu are pulling ,
On every aide,
In a thourand valleys far and wide,
Fresh Sowers;'while the sun shines warm,
And the babe leaps up in its motherts

. ---But there's a Tree, of many a one,
A single field which I have looked upon,
Both of them speak of something that is gone;
The Pansy stmy feet
Doth the samti - lale repeat.
Whither is fled the -visionary gleam
Where is it now the glory and the'dream t
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting F
The soul that.rises with us, our life's star,
Bath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar. _
Not in entire forgetfulness;
And not

But trailing clouds of glory do we came
From God who is oar home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy
Shades of the prison-honse begin to close
Upon thegrowing Boy, -
But Be beholds the light, and whence it flow's,
He seesit in bis joy ;
The Youth, who daily farther from the . East
Must travel, still is Nature's Priest,
And by the vision splendid
Is on the way

At length the Man perceives it die away,
And fade into the light of common day.
Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own;
Yeanaings she path of her own natural kind,
And, even with something or a mother , . mind,
And no unworthy aim,
The homely aurae doth all she can
To make her foster-child, her inmate Man,
Forget the glories he hath known,
And that imperial , palace whence he came
Behold the Child among his new-born blisses,
A six years , darling of a pigmy size!
See, where 'mid work'of his own hand he lies,
Fretted by sallies of his Mother's kisses,
With light upon him from his Father's eyes
See, at his feet some little plan or chart,
Some fragment from his dream of human litb,
Shaped by himself with newly-learned art,
A wedding or a festival,
A mourning or a funeral;
And this has Won his heart,
And into this he fiamei.his song
There will be fit his tongue
To dialogues of business, love or strife;
But it will not be long
Ere this be thrown aside,
And with new joy and pride
The little actor cons another part;
Filling from time to time his" huMorous stage' ,
'With all the persons down to palsied Age,
That Life brings with her in her equipage;
As if his whole vocation
Were endless imitation.

Thou whose exterior semblance doth belie
Thy soups immensity;
Thou best philosopher, who yet doth keep
Thy heritage ; then Eye among the blind,
That, deaf and silent, read'st the eternal deep,
Haunted foreier by the eternal mind,—
Mighty Prophet! Seer blest!
On whom those truths do rest
Which we are toiling all our lives to find,
In darkness lost, the darkness of the grave ;
Thou over whom thy Immortality
Broods like the day, a master o'er a slave,
APresence which is not to be put by;
Thou'little child; yet glorious in the might
Of heaven-horn keedom on thy Being's height,
Why with such earnest pains dost thou provoke
The years to bring the inevitable yoke,
Than blindly with thy blessedness at strife?
Full soon thy soul shall have her earthly freight,
And custom lle upon thee with a.vrefght,
Heavy as frost and deep almost at life!
O joy i that in our embers
Is something that doth live,
That nature yet remembers
What was so fugitive !
The thought of oar past years in me doth breed
Perpetual benediction riot indeed
For that which is most worthy to be blest;
Delight and' liberty, the simple creed'
Of childhood, whether busy or at rest,
With new-fledged hope Ain fluttering in his breast
Not for.these I raise
My song of thanks and praise ;
But for these obstinate questionings
Of sense and Outward things„
Callings from us, vanishing .
Blank misgivings of a ereature
Moving about in worlds not realised,
High instincts before which our mortal nature
Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised :
Bat for those first affections,
Those shadowy recollections,
Which, be they what they may,
*Are yet he fountain light of all our day, .
Ave yet a master light of' all our seeing;
Uphold tit; cherish and have power to make ,
Our'noisy years seem moments in the being
Of the etemal Silence: truths that wake
To perish never; .
Which neither listlessness, nor mad endeavor,
Nor Man nor Boy,
Nor all that is at enmity with joy, -
Can utterly abolish or destroy!
Hence in a season of fair weather
Though inland far we be,
Our souls have eight of that immortal sea
Which brought us hither,
Can in a moment travel thither,
And see the children sport upon the shore,
And bearthe mighty waters rolling evermore.
Then sing, ye birda, sing, sing a glorious song
And let the young lambs bound

What though the radience which was once , so brigh
Be now forever taken from the sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, or glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
'Strength in what remaina behind,
In the primal sympathy

In the soothing thoughts that spring

Removal of the -Seat of Government.
, In consequence of the "still beginning, never
ending"
excitement on the subject of Slavery in
the District of. Columbia, it has been proposed i n
several respectable journals, to remove the seat o f
Government from the City of Washington. Of
course, there are many serious objections to this
measure; but they will be confined, ptiucipally; to
the fact, that the Public Buildings, costing an im
mense sum of money, are there situated. On the
other hand, many strong arguments may be adduced
in favor of the proposed change, without reference
to the fact that slavery exists in the District of Co
lumbia. Washington City is too far removed from
the centre of population—it is situated within a few
miles:of the Atlantic coast ; thus compelling hun
dreds of persons, who have business at the seat of
government', to travel thousands of miles. The city
is also very unhealthy, and there is scarcely a ses
sion of congress, but one, two, or three members
die, from disease contracted in that impure atmos
phere. We are honest in the opinion, that before
20 years shall have passed by, the seat of Govern
ment will be removed to some one of the cities in
the Mississippi valley. The place may be Pitts
burgh or Cincinnati—we are not much concerned as
to the precise location; although it is natural to
prefer oar , own healthy and hospitable city to any
other:place. •
Extra Session of Congress
It Was announced in our telegraphic despatches
published yesterday, that the President has issued a
proclamation, calling an extra session of Congress,
on thesth of March next. We hope there may be
some mistake about this matter. If there is any ne
cesidrty for an Extra Session of Congress, the coun
try is ignorant of it. The term of President Polk
expires on the 4th of March. His succesior.is then
inaugurated. This year, however, the 4th oftdarch
comes on Sunday, and it is supposed that the new
President will not be inaugurated until the day rot.
lowing, Monday. It may be that the extra session
has been called with special reference to this fact,
and it may not last over a day or two. Hit is to be
a counterpart of the extra session of 1541, no man
will envy the position of President Polk about those
days.

Counterfeit Scrip.
The Crawford Democrat complains (and not with
out good

now in circulation, issued by authority of the coun
ty of Allegheny and the corporations of the cities
of Pittsburgh and Allegheny. The Editor notices a
new counterfeit on the 2's of this city, calculated to
deceive the unsuspecting. Some of them may be
detected by noticing that the right horn of the white
cow in the vignette is straight, whereas in the genu
ine plate it is coooked.
Batik at Kittanning.
The Whigs of Kittanning, during the recent sitting

ed for this same institution by the last Legislature,
which was vetoed by Gov. Shuck.

the inhalation of an insect so minute as to be scarce
ly visible to the naked eye. He says that when the
Cholera is in a place, the existence of those insects
may be proved by greasing a cloth, or a person's
arm, and waving it in the air, when :the `insects
will stick to it, and may be examined.

Gov t litansom on Farming.
Governor Raillions, of Michigan, not only writes
good messages but occasionally devotes his Immo
moments in giving his experience in farming. The
following fiord the last Michigan Farmer is from his
pen.
When I purchased the land: of. which my farm is
tnade, some years since,
_the particular piece, of
which . I am now writing, was entirely overspread
with a dense and almost impenetrable thicket of oak
shrubs, usually , in this country, called grubs,. with
large white and burr-eak trees thinly, interspersed.
They had been growing, unaffected by, fires proba
bly abeetten years, and had shot up'into saplings of
five to fifteen feet in height, and from ono to two or
three inches in diameter. •
In the summer of 1643, after my wheat and hay
harvests were finished, I think about the middle of
August, I put my men to work upon that piece, of
land; and they cut away all tho grubs close by the
ground, or the " tools " rather upon which most of
them grew. I had tnem all piled up compactly, and
the following spring burnt off clean;
and as soon as
young shoots began to be thrown outfrom the stump,
I turned my _sheep, a flock of something more than
a hundred, into the enclosure, and , kept them there
most of the time through the summer. So strong and
vigorous were the roots of the grubs that they threw
-up young sprouts in great profusion, but the sheep
kept their.tOps constantly'cropped off; not one esca
ped them. The winter following I had my timothy
straw, after it had been threshed, drawn:out and fed
to my cattle and sheep, upon thus field, scattering it
as generally over . the field as practiCable. I have .
since continued to keep my sheep upon it during the
the season of pasturing. They fed MT the sprouts
from the grubs as fast as they appeared, until the
roots even, were perfectly. dead; and I think very
few remained alive after the second summer's feed
ing. There are fifteen acres of ground, and I do not
belive there is now living grub upon it, and they are
most of them, so far decayed as to be easily thrown
out of the ground with a kick of the foot, as you no
ticed, when there, and the land now produces the
luxuriant pasturage which you saw. I do not rec
()Peet the time occupied in cutting and - piling thts
brush, though the work was done with great facility
With the.impliment I used for the purpose—a brush
hook.
