THE I..YRE‘S LAMELVI‘.
BY mas. HEMANS.
A deep-toned lyre hung tnurmuring
'I‘o the wild wind of the sea;
0 melanclioly wind, it sigh’d,
\Vhat would thy breath with me P

Thou cznst not wake the spirit
That in me sluinbering lies,

Thou strik’st not fortli the electric fire
Of buried inelntlies.

\Vin.l oftlie dark sea waters !
Tliou dost but sweep my strings

Into wild gu;ts ofinouri'ifulric_s-‘E.
With the rushing of thy xvings.

But the spell, the gift, the lightning,
‘Within my frame C0wC‘28l"‘3.

Must I rnouldcr on the rock away,
With tlicir trumpets uiircvcalcd P

I have power, high power, for freedom
To wake the burning soul! _

I have sounds that tliro’ the aiicient hills
Like a torrctit’s voice might roll.

I have pealing notes of victory
That might welcome kings from war :

Ihave rich (loop tt}IIF‘S to Send tilt" wail
For a hero's deatii afar.

I have CllOl'(l5 to lift the paran
P I]"ll‘t_'ll'II ltlliefteniple to the sh y,
‘[1 as t e orest unisous
Vllhen sweeping winds are high.

And love——for lov(:’s~lon0 sorrow
I have accents that might swell

’l‘liro’ the summer air Vii itli the rose’sbrcatli,
Or violet’s faint farev. ell:

Soft, spiritual, mournfiil—-
Sighs in each note enshrined ;

But who shall call the sweetness forth ?
Thou caust not, ocean-wind I

I pass without my glory—-
Forgotten I alecay !

VVliere is the touch to give me life?
-Wild, fitful wind away !’

So sigli’d the broken music
That Ill gladness had no part;

How like art thou, nr_-g'=ected lyre,
To many a human llf“rli'l.l

GER.TltUDE.

‘Do you know, Gertrude, the opiuivn
prevalent in the neigliliurliood, in regard '0
your friend W'ili.on E’

‘Motlier,’ said Gortrurle with a forced
composure,‘I know otnothing to his disad-
vantage. I know he has L'h(‘IlllL‘$ liero——
bitzer, implacable eiivniies, who would sac»
rifice him. I know too, that their tongue.-.~.
have not been io’le——thai uefamatioii in is
foulest nature has been pl.-ii.il'u‘lly bestow-
ed upon a vittuous and high niindeo gan-
tleman.’ » ._

‘Gertrude,’ said her mother , ‘I know
tliatthe world sometimes condemos unJ usi-

ly. I know that defaoiali-..~ii has sometimes

bu/med down tlie_pure and virtuous, anti;
blackened the fair fame of the upright and
praise-worthy. \Bat, when so much is a-
vered respecting \Viltoii, when friends and
foes alike aclinoulcdge his aberrations,
the one by open attacks upon his reputa-
tion, the other by dou‘u.ful whispers, and
expressions of regret, and an evident with-
drawal of their former warm and contiding
friendship, we may justly fear that iheie
is indeed some reasunfur such a Cll.«1l'igL'—--
that our young iiigenuous friend IS yield-
ing to the fascination of vice--gliding grad-
ually and almost iniperccptibly down that
fearful path which leads from the perle--'.
light ofviitue and holiness.’

‘Iwill not believe it--never’--replied Ger-
trude, her clear bliieeyuliglitniiig up with
unwanted energy. ‘Moilier, you are decei-
ved alike by the avowed Gilt‘-l1'lIL‘.i and rin-
false and envious friends of Climles Wir-
ton. Believe me,l liave not icp<-sud-m)?
my confidence_in a stranger. I l-;now i."v".'=l~
ton to be virtuous and honorable. And
who,let me ask, are those who tiaduce his
character?’ Iler beautiful lip curled into
an expression ofineffable scorn, as she rc-
plied to her own inlei'rogatory. ‘False
hearted wretches-—creatures of envy and
malice, who would as soon dare the tailing
thunderbolt, as confront the indignant
glacne of the man they have so foully in-
jured.’ .

‘Gertrude --poke from the impulse oflicr
heart. She could not believe that such ii
man asChas.Wiltoircnzrlcldelizise liiniself EU
the S111 ofdruiikcuness-~ that he whose ni-
ture was so noble——so elev;ued—-zi passion-

on-liouse, could by any possibir '.c'-inpta-

~1.i.ons.yield to the balcfz.-l ciiziceiiwnts ol the-

Dcstroyer--and humble the godlilteimago
of manhood lower than the ‘hrtnes which
perish.’

And why was it that when all her friends
saw, and warned her of lit?!‘ danger, Slit.‘
clung yet closer to the object ofliei fears?
Why was it when the, bl.-SOIII lriciids of
Charles W'ilion avoided him as ifihere
were contamination in his very pi-o,_~,onco,
that the beauaiful and imolle-crual Gt'|'l1l.l(l6
welisomcd his approach with a SlIlilt' of
deeper fonrhiess? She loved him: and
the love of a heart like l'ors. cliangos no:
with the changes of the bolov}:d——il burns
brighter and warmer as the shadows ofevil
close around its object.

And G12 trude became the wife of
Charles Wilton—-and his victim lso. Slie,
died early—but not before evcry lieau:i-
fol blossom ofhcr affection had per islied-
not before a death like withc.ing had grim,
over her heart, until it I)t!Ctllll(~' as dust,

*It is not more than 50 years ago, since
Curl-.ier’s Hool-:, was in a state of woods. The
first*‘Drover’s Inn" kept so near the city, was
at liitle above St. Paul’s Church, by A-lain
Vzinderbarrack.

Byard Spring in the woods, a great resort
iotlie afternoons, was surrounded by athick

In the year 1787, Cole Ratiisey, then in
Congress, considered liimselfzis liv:ng out in
the country. while residing at the Whne Con-
duit House, sisuatc between Leonard and

The old Dutch records clearly show that
all the rear of the city was laid out into farms,
sag, six in number, called ‘Bowery.’ from
whence we have ‘Bowery’ now; Van Twitter
hiinself.[Gov. Van Twiller] had his mansion
on No. 1, his tobacco field on No. 3--N0. I

No.3 atGreeiiwicli, then c.:lled'l‘apohanican ;
No. 4 was near the plain of Manhattan, in-
cludrrig the park and the Collect.

A celebrated garden was formerly kept at
at the spot where now stands Pi-:Am:’sMus.:uin;
it was a place of great resort. was called Moi:
l.:igiie’s Garden. It was here “Tile sons of
I_.iberl_v” convened. ‘

The Houses,13 and 15 Elm street near the
corner ofDuar.e at. are singnlar evidences
of modern innovations. They were originally
good two story houses and are new filled up
nearly to the roofs.

Mr. Jacob Tabele now aged 87. states that
in his early days, almost every pe rson you
met in the streets spoke Dutch, and that there
were no lamps in the streets when he was a
boy. -
In Nicholas Baynrd’s woods, now the vicin-
ity of Centre market, he often shot pigeons.
Ilc reincinhrred ship yards between Beek-
man and Burling slips. - -

He has seen the river water flow in the sew‘

He rememembered the “F_e__r_ry House” so
called as high ‘up as-Brbadist. at the sign of

Broad st.) a cr,eelk formerly run up to this

freely pass along the space now occupied by
laijgc’trees on the battery.

 The oldC'ity Hall “Stat Hays" was former-

The Meal market was once at the foot of
Wall str.-et. '

The Bowling Green was once an oblong
square, and was once surrounded with large
locust trees.

In the year 1772, Broadway extended only
