THE BUTTERH.Y’S BIRTH-DAY.
By Wii.mam Roscoi, Esut.
The sbattvs of night were scarcely fled;
•|-ne air was mild, the winds wrre stii!;
And slow the slanting sun-hearts spread
O or wood anil law n, o'er heath and lii'^.
Trom fleecy clouds of pearly live
H id dropp'd a short but balmy showed
* i:,t hunp, like gems of morning de;v,
Oil every tree and every dower.
Anil from the Blackbird's mellow throat
Was pour’d so loud anil lone n swell,
As echoed with responsive note
,e from mountain side, and shadowy d df
When, bursting foifh t« life abd ligh',
The offspring of eniaptur'd May,
’idle Boiteilly, on pinions bright,
f.uuiicli'd in full splendour on the d.i-.
t'nronsrious of a mother’s care,
!\'t infant wretchedness she knew;
But, ns she felt the vernal air,
At once to full perfection grew.
Her slender form, ctlnsrenl, light,
,IIer vclvet-trxtur’d wings nnl
Vittb all the rainbow's colours biigot
Ar 1 di opt with spots ol burnish'd gnij.
Trembling with joy, awhile she stood;
And felt the sun’s enlivening ray;
l?*-auk from the skies the vital flood.
And wonder'd at her plumage gay;
Anti balanc’d oft iter broider’d vv'iygs.
Through fields of air prepar’d t<> sa
1 henf,on her vent’rous journey springs
And fioais along tiro ri»1%:; gale.
M i., cliiM «.f Pleasure, range the fields.
Taste ol all the joys that Spring can giv--,
I' li taUe wli»t bounteous Summer yield.,
And live, while yet't is thine to live.
<to. sip the rose’s fragrant dew,
The lily's honey’d nip explore,
I urn flower to flower the search 'enc^e,
Ami rdle all the woodbine's store;
And let me tra-;e thy vagrant flf.lit.
Thy moments too of short report*,
And mark thee then with fresh delight
Thy golden pinions ope ami iIum,
But haik’ while thus l musing sfo rid,
fours on the gale an aiiy note;
And, breathing from a vie»\less ban 1^,.
Soft siki ry tones around mefloat
- They ctan —but stilla roicn I v
A whisper'd voice of hope ami joy,
' j *»y hour of rest approaches near,
Prepare thee, moitul —thou mus< ii**!
d r! start not; —on thy closing ev.r j
Another day "-hall still unfol.l,
A sun of milder radiance rise,
A happici age of joys untold.
m>all the poor worm that shocks thy si/h^
'I he humblest form in Nature’s tram,
i ln;s ri>e in new-born lustre bright,
And yet the emblem teach in vain’
Ah! where were once her go! len syce.
Her glittering wiugs of purple pride.'
Onceab'd beneath a rude disguise,
A shapeless mass to earth ailied.
I.ike tfu-c the hapless reptile liv'd,
Like thee he toil’d, like thee iie spin:,
I ike throe his closing hour arriv’d,
His iabcufs ceasd, his web was dong,
Aj’d shalt thou, number'd with tiie dea l,
No happier state of being know;
<.nd shall no future morrow shed
'hi time a beam r-f brighter gb :
T. ’<■ tiio bound of rhnvcaPa-iue,
'i«. animate an insect frame.'
Or shall net He who mtfuMed iLino
Wake at his will the vital fiamc.f
- .f>n, mortal!—in thy reyttile state,
lliiongli tr» kno.W to tl.ee is given;
Go, nod the toyl'n! truth relate,
Frail Child of Garth', high Heir of Heaven!’’
There is a Air. Kendall, who gives testimony in a
«-rimonious printed letters, and before the Kentucky
iienale, against IVlr. Clay, and who is said to Wave
Keen particularly fostered by that genth-mau—to have
brea uurs<*j, when sick, in iiis house, ito. Such a
cage calls to mind the following Persian apologue:
‘A tortoise and a scorpion, travelled the same road
for a considerable distance, in good fellowship. The
latter, on theground of this friendship asked the former
t.i carry him over a deep stream. The tortoise complied,
•'.ut what w as his surprise to find his companion endea
voring with all his might to sting him!—When he had
fcjaceil Irim safe on the opposite shore, lie turned to him
arm said, ‘arc you not the mn?t wicked nod imgrale
t'il of rcpt'les* lint for me you must either have given
ft.) your journey or have been drowned in that stream,
and what is my reward? It it had not heen for the
Truyir which God has given me. I should have heen

supplicatory tone, ‘it is not my fault; it is that of my

IHs third race was in the fall of 1825, over the New !

His fourth race was in the spiing of 1826, over the New j

ho won, heating trie two celebrated racers Tlirlilla a ml i

Shortly after this he became my properly, since which

time, his defeat was orfcmiomd as much by the unex

antagonist. In this race however, he was second, JEt'tei
first, and the other two both distanced.

j become the mother of five children,—tiiree girls and two
