POETRY
The following sublime Ode, to the Supreme Be-
ing is translated fioin the Russian. It was written
by one of the most distinguished poets, ‘Derzha:iir.”
This Ode is said to have been translated into th
Chinese and Tartar langiiages, written on rich silk,
and suspended in the Imperial Palace at Pekltl.-l‘
The Iitnperor of Japan had it translated into the‘,
Japanese, einbroidered, in gold, and hung in the,
Teinpel ofJctldo. It is gratifying to learn that these
nations have done themselves the honor, to bestow
such praise on this noble composition.

Whom none cancompreliend, and none explore ;
VVho fill’st existence with tliyselfalone;
Embracing all—siipporting—i'iiling o'er-‘
Being whoni we call God—antl know no more !
In its sublime research, Philosophy
May measure ottt the Ocean deep‘—may count
The sands, or the Sun’s rays ; but God! for Thee
There is no weightnor measure ; none can mount
Up ‘to Thy rnysteries. Rcason’_s brightest spark,

Eternity had its foundation; all .
Sprung forth front Thee ; of Light, Joy, Harmony,
Sole or-gin—all Life, all Beauty, Thine.
Thy word created all and doth create:
Thy splendor fills all space with rays divine.
Thou art, and wert, and shalt be glorious! great!

So suits are born, so worlds spring forth from thee! '
And as the span-rles in the sunny ravs

Of IIeavci1’s bright army glitters in Thy praise ;
A million torches lighted by Thy hand
IV tinder titiwe:ti'ied through th'e blue abyss;
They own Thy power, accomplish Thy cuintnand,
All guy with life, all eloquent with bliss;
What shall we call them ? Piles of clirystal light?
A glorious coinpaiiy ‘of golden streams '!
Lamps ofcelestial ether, burning bright?
Sims, lighting systems with theirjoyons beams?
But Thou, to those, art as the noon to night.
Yes! as ‘.1 drop of water in the Sea,
All this niagiiiliccnce iii Thee is lost:-—

And what am I, when I'Ieaven’s uniiuinbred host,
Though multiplied by niyriads, and arrayed
In all the glory of subliniest thought,
Is but an atom in the balance, weighed
Against Thy greatness-—-is a cyplier brought
Against Iiiliiiity’! What am I,tlien 1? Noiight.
N ought! but the cfllucnce of Thy light divine,
Pervading worlds, hath reached my bosom to;
Yes, in my spirit doth Thy spirit shine,
As shines at sun-lieani in a drop of dew.

Eager towards Thy presence ; for in Thee
I live, and breathe, and dwell; aspiring high,
Even to the throne of 'I‘liy Divinity.

Still I am something fashioned by thy hand!
I hold a inidtlle rank, ’twixt Heaven and Earth,

Close to the realm where Angels have their birth,
J net on the boundary of the spirit land!
The chain of being is complete in me;
In me is 1natter’s last gradation lost,
And the next step is Spirit——Deity !
I can coinmand the light’iiing and am dust!
A monarch and a slave ; a worth, :1 God!
Vl/heiice came I here, and how? so marvelously
Constructed and conceived, unknmvn’! This clod
Lives surely through some higher energy;
For from itself alone it could not be.
Creator! Yes! Thy wisdom and Thy lVord
Created me ! Thou source oflife and good!
Thou spirit of my spirit‘, and my Lord!
Thy light, Thy love, in their bright plenititde,
Filled me with an inimortal Soul, to spring
Over the abyss of Death, and bade it wear
The garments oflitcrnal day, and wing
Its heavenly flight beyond this little sphere,
Even in its source, to 'I‘licc, its Author, Thee.
O thou iiicfliible! O vision blest!
(Though worthless our conceptions all of Thee)
Yet shall Thy shadowed image fill our breast,
And waft its homage to the Deity.
God ! thus alone my lowly thoughts can soar;
Thus seek Thy presence. Being wise and good!
’Midst thy vast works, adtuire, obey, adore;
And when the tongttc is eloquent no more,
The soul shall speak in tears of gratitude.

in -upon the State Prisoners at Sing Sing as
we did the other day, surely he would have
shrunk back from the vortex before him.-—

Whit a negotiation of comfort their whole

main features of the still life scene, as we
passed through the several workshops.

the thick atmosphere of the carpet and reg

ped crew. ‘
God of compassion! what a sight it was
to see. that tuelley iuultitiide take up in gangs

in silence, szive the peculiar sound of the
sliding tread, griting not less upon the ear
than upon the ground. One by one they
took their wooden pails of dingy ‘and ain-

- winding up the stairs ofthe ClllTt;'l'l~‘lll. stories,
streaming along the narrow corriders to their
solitary cells. It was too much for the

gangs. As they pissed on in slow succes-

'I‘iir-re can be no doubt that an immense
oiajoiity of the young l‘.’lt‘Il of the country
are Whigs, arid iii the coming contest they
will form the ailvauce glltlld of the great
Whig Army ofthe Union. It is l]ltlUl'.il that
they should be Whigs, just coming on the
stage of life, in the flush evigor ofyouth, they
are full of gegerous impulses and noble as-
pirations. They are yet too young, too pure
to become tainted with the leprosy of Loco-
focoisin, and have too little selfishness to
git-eiii to the agrariuii doctrines ofLocofoco-
ism. Looking only to the honor and glory
of their native land, they have no hopes, no
aspirations apart from her best interests.-
'l‘tiey have not yet learned to coin their
words to Still. the sordid and mercenary pur-
poses of designing demagogues, and with
the generous entliusiaisin of inipctuous youth
they speck out in thunder tones the ardent
felines which flow in their patriotic hearts.
The great and gallant leader of the Whig
party, too, is one to command the adiuiration
and enihusiztsdc regard of every young man
‘in America. Wlioainoug them all is not
«f.irnili .r with the naiiie and fdllll: of Henry
Clay .7 \'VllO among tlieiii has not had his
lietirt aroused from its inmost depths by the
burning t‘lt)q'.lt.‘IlL'€ of their countrys noble-st
son? Who can listen to the recital of his
long and brilliant career without feeling his
pulse quicken. and his blood rush in bound-
ing torrents through his frame? Bold, dar-
ing. generous and ,self-sacrificing himself
Henry Clay, is the tnan. ofall others, most
calcul-at--d to attach friends strongly to him.
There is somt-thing so noble. so unselfish in
the Clltll'tlCl.r'l' of Henry Clay—so much for
a young and ardent tnind to admire. that the
,young ofour country are VVhigs, and Clay
Whigs in spite of themselves.
Tliiit they will do good service in the ap-
prozicliing contest we cannot permit OUSPl\'€S
to doubt; audit will be a glorious sight to
see the thousands and tens of thousands of
gallant hearts and stalwart arms arravt-d for
the first time for the fight. The old’ veter-
ans who ll=.lVf.’ home the brunt of many it
fie-rce encounter, will be nobly supported on
the day of trizil, by the fiery spirits of their
young:-r and more active allies.

the young VVhigs of every State in the con-
fedeiacy. Lt-t tbetn assemble there, inziture
their plans for the campaign, and commence
the good work, and our word for it,their first
onset will scatter our adversaries as effectual-
ly as the gallant H irrison scattered the Brit-
tsh and Indians at the battle of the 'l‘banies.

Hint for the. Ladies.-—'l‘he following
love letter from it Victuziler’s daughter to her
admirer, we have picked up sotnewhere-,and
give it as a curious document. It is ‘meet’
that it should be preserved, for it is not often
that we find such a ‘rare’ subject or a billet-
doux so ‘well done'—Vide:
‘Paw told toe to rite a bit of tender line
which he set! would ese my kalf love and
make me more sheapish -than I was afore.—-
l-le sc-s he will be in to your inuttun, if you
don’t come and put the thing threw as ll get)-
tilman orter. Paw is a meatacks (llSpOt'Sl-
Shen and no mistake, and he ses he'is noth-
{ing but bull beef. He St~'S_\'Ol1 will be made

like a bluddir on two skewi rs much longer.
When he seas you won’t find the wooley side
otit but the way the bristols will tiquel, will
make you squeal like fresh pork on prika-
reotis trotters. So cum deerest, when paw
is away’; and fat or lean, you will find me
as old Nick sed he was when he cum to
church without his hoarns and tale—niouth
shot and ears open, with the privilege of
winking at what warnt nurthowdocks.’
The last instance of absent mindedness oc-
curred in Canandaigua a few nights since,
as we learn from a friend:
As a piirty of ladies and gentlemen were
waiting‘ for the western train to come to
this city, it being their past midnight, they
observed a genteel looking fellow who had
for sometime been asleep on one of the set-
tees in the eating house at Canandaigua, got
up to proceed towards the door with a large
spit ban: in his hand, which he had taken
up from the floor thinking that it was his
hat. When at the door. he made several
unsuccessful attempts to fit it to his head;
but finding it not suited to his cranium. be
robbed f:-is forehead with an exlclaination of
“d—n it.” and went back and deposited it on
the floor, took his hat and sneaked out ofthe
door, to the no small amusement of the spec-
