We are borne along on the passing gale,
That softly is fanning our silken sail,
On its trembling wings as we float along;
Mortal! list to the Spirits' song.

From the distant land where the happy dwell,
Where whispering lovers their fond vows tell,
Where no sigh is heard save the sigh of love,
Breathed by the Spirits who hither rove :-

From the land where the jessamine ever
blooms,

And the Camalate* breathes its sweet per-
fumes,

Where light by day and by night there is none,
Save the light that beams from beauty's throne:

Where Spring and Summer forever reign,
And the fairest flowrets bedeck the plain,
Where blasts of the death-wind never blow,
And the golden waters forever flow.

Mortal! we've come on the zephyr's wings,
And have waked our wild harps' murmurings,
Our journey of love to thee to tell;
Mortal! 'tis told-farewell-farewell.

And there will pass a very few brief years
Ere all who people this fair land shall lie
In the same grave which holds her earliest sons.
The oak shall grow upon the well ploughed glebe-
The wild vine leap upon the nectarine's trunk,
And strangle it with a too close embrace-
The thistle shall o'errun the beautiful mead-
The bison feed upon the cities' site-
The adder coil him in the lady's bower
And hiss upon the mastodon, as he
Comes from his exile of a thousand years.
And these shall be because such things have been,
For nature is immutable and keeps
No changeful course.

FROM THE ITALIAN OF TASSO.

There blooms no floweret of the plain,
Whose petals boast so fair a stain,

As thy sweet lips, my love!
Nor does the zephyr whispering nigh,
Nor all the woodland melody,
The murmur of the bubbling spring,
Such transport o'er my spirit fling,

As thy sweet song, my love!
May nought disturb its melody,
Save the soft kiss and gentle sigh
Of thee-and me, my love.

LINES FROM A TRAVELLER'S PORT FOLIO.
I stood upon the lofty Alleghany.

It was a summer morning-the bright sun
Shone o'er the mountain tops on the fair vales,
Which lay stretched out beneath his gladdening
beam.

Calm, peaceful vales, such as the aged love
To rest their wearied limbs upon when life
Draws near its close--such as young lovers seek.
And there I stood upon that mountain's brow,
And looked upon the morning;-far away
On either hand, and where the Ohio glides
Serenely to the bed of other waters,
Lay fields of brightly shining summer grain,
Where lusty arms plied nimble reaping hooks,
And bright-eyed virgins, as of olden time,
Them followed, and the yellow sheaf upreared.
And there were pastures fair beneath mine eye,
And o'er them grazed innumerous herds and flocks,
The wealth of the strong man, who years ago
Built his rude cabin by the beetling brow
Of these eternal mountains, and sat down,
And lopt the sycamore, and felled the oak,
And had him sons and daughters born amidst
The shouts and battle songs of savage tribes.

And still I stood upon that mountain's brow,
And still it was the morning. O'er me past
A breath from out the deep and fearful glen,

Which lay beside me, fringed with meagre pines

The shrubbery of the bleak mountain top.
Within me was a voice which bade me look
Upon the ages which had passed away;-
Upon the time when those far-spreading vales

The collection embraces (with the exception of a very few of the rarest substances) all the late discoveries, and many of those specimens, the localities of which are exhausted, and many of which are now rarely met with even in the large collections of Europe. The suite of Ores is peculiarly rich, as is likewise the volcanic department; and the gems and precious stones are numerous. The specimens are all well characterized, and the crystallizations are remarkably fine.

This collection is arranged in the spacious room formerly used as Commons Hall, being 45 feet in length, 36 feet wide, and 173 feet high.

The specimens are placed in cases with
glass doors, against the walls of the room,
which, to the height of ten feet, are com-
pletely covered by them; a large propor-
tion of the most beautiful specimens are
arranged upon eight glazed tables, and the
residue in nearly 200 drawers.

MOUNT ROSA THE HIGHEST IN EUROPE.

Dr Brewster has published, in his new

"Edinburgh Journal of Science," from the Memoirs of the Royal Academy of Turin, a translation of an account of the first ascent of the southern summit of Mount Rosa, by MM. Zumstein and Vincent. Having determined, by means of the barometer which they had gained for the first time, was 13,920 Paris, or 14,83564 English feet above the level of the sea, they ascertained, by a trigonometrical measurement thence made, that the elevation of the highest summit of the mountain was 1680 Paris feet above it, or 15,600 (16,6264 English) above Thus Mount Rosa is in reality the highest in Europe; the height of Mont Blanc, according to Prof. Tralles, being only 14,793 Paris, or 15,7084 English feet.

"The Bibliothèque Universelle for March 1824, contains an elaborate paper on Mr Perkins' Steam-Engine, by a friend of Mr Perkins, which was carried to Geneva, and communicated to the editors, by Mr Church, the American Consul, who had made a voyage to London for the express purpose of seeing Mr Perkins' apparatus. This paper contains the most complete description of the above engine which has yet appeared, and it presents, we believe, the first attempt to explain its operation on philosophical principles. We have been anxious, therefore, more particularly on the latter ground, to examine it, having hitherto looked in vain for any rational account of Mr Perkins' plans, or of those advantages arising from them which have been so con

Every physician also meets occasionally with a common disease under a form somewhat new, requiring, of course, a modification of its treatment. Communications relating to these peculiarities, and to these occasional modifications of disease, would be highly valuable and interesting; very much more so than the narration of any cases, however curious and extraordinary, since the general deductions which we make from our whole practice, are worthy of much more confidence than those derived from any single cases. Essays of the kind here alluded to, are particularly solicited, whilst, at the same time, other communications upon anatomical, physiological, and practical subjects, and accounts of important cases, will be extremely acceptable.

The publishers respectfully suggest the following considerations, as warranting their hopes of liberal patronage in this arduous undertaking.

It will put the admirers of English literature in possession of an elegant and extensive English Library, printed in a superior style, uniform in size, type, and paper, and at a very moderate price.

Many of the earlier authors therein included have become extremely rare. They exist only in old editions, inconvenient in size, badly printed, and on inferior paper. They are not to be procured by persons residing in this country without much difficulty, delay, and expense.

PROSPECTUS

OF a Collection of English Literature,
Edited by WASHINGTON IRVING, ESQ., and
now publishing by subscription, by A. & W.
GALIGNANI, and JULES DIDOT, Senior, Paris,
and H. C. CAREY & I. LEA, Philadelphia.

This Collection will contain the best
works of the most eminent English authors,

A careful selection will be made from the works of the earlier writers, limited to such only as are of high celebrity and permanent interest. A greater scope will be taken in selecting from those of later date; but where the works of an author are voluminous, those of inferior merit and mere temporary interest will be omitted.

pany

A biography of each author will accomhis works, either selected or collated from the best biographies extant, with any additional information that may be obtained from other sources. A portrait of the author will also be given, engraved by the first artists; together with an autograph.
