[From Ihe New Er.glanrt Maeazine.] 

 THE MORNIKG STAR. 



A single starjusi risen ! 

 How irantiuilly 

 In Heaven's pure shrine its image burns '. 

 Star of tlie morn, my spirit yearns 

 To be with thee, 



Lord of the desert sky ! 



Night's last lone heir, 

 Calmly thou smilest from on high, 

 Gazing, as if an angel s eye 



Were stationed there. 



U it an idle dream ? 

 Or e:in it be 

 That in yon orb a spirit reigns, 

 Who knows tliis earth, and kindly deigns 

 To smile on me ? 



Heaven's glittering train arc flown— 



Quenched each pure spark- 

 Save where some distant Sun's pale ghost,— 

 Frail remnant of a scattered host, — 



Peeps ihroiigh the dark. 



But thou, fair pilgrim-star, 

 Night's youngest-born, 

 Wilt not withdraw thy steady light, 

 Till bursts, on yonder snow-crowned height. 

 The yellow morn. 



Oft hive I watched, dear orb. 

 Thy early ray ; 

 A type art thou, of hopes that spring 

 When Joy dies— brightly heralding 

 A brighter day. 



So, when from my life's course 

 Its stars are riven, 

 Riso o'er the death-mists gathering dun, 

 -Herald of an eternal Sun— 



Rise, hope of Heaven ! F. H. Hei 



obey without confusion or rfclay tho orders of the 

 directing niind ; when I saw the sailors, at the 

 word of coniir.and, cliriihiiill and cliiigmg to the 

 further ends of the yards to lash the sads, singly 

 and calmly intent upon their task, and as uuinuul- 

 ful of the" cold December hath uito which evei7 

 [roll of the ship phm-ed Iheni, as if they were 

 playina seesaw in the shipyard— when I saw tins 

 perfoct management of one well-manneil and well- 

 commanded American vessel, I ibund in it a nat- 

 ural solution of the wonderful growth oi this 

 country. And when I approached the noble har- 

 bor of New York, with its forest of masts, 1 

 entered more deeidy into the spirit and destiny ol 

 this laud of promise, that in time of peace throws 

 forth its merchant vessels, like bread upon the 

 water, for a plentiful liarvcst ; while, in tune ot 

 war like the Athenians of old, it seeks and hnds 

 salvation in its "wooden walls."— />r Fallen. 



AN AJIIERICAN SHIP. 



T well renieniber the impression made on my 

 mind by the first article of American manulacture 

 1 met with. It was at Havre, in France, the hnst 

 time in my life that I ha,l beheld the ocean, a few 

 ,iavs before i was obliged to cross it. I was 

 w.dking aiom;- the r,uay with a French gentleman, 

 rmd as among the crowd of ves.sols beiore us 

 there, were but few that had hoisted their national 

 colors, I rcpiested my companion to point out to 

 mo Bom« of the American ships. He told mc 

 that I might, without any one to tell me, know 

 any Americau vessel in tho port from any other 

 hy its perfect neatness itnd order in every part ol 

 it The ship in which I embarked for the United 

 H<tate3— the same that a short time before had 

 carried to these shores tho faithful friend of this 

 ■ ountry, the immortal Lafayette— that ship was 

 the first .'article of American manufacture that met 

 my dolighKMl eyes. The whole of my voyage 

 confirmed my first impression. Insignificant as it 

 may be in Itself, we know that personal experience, 

 ,i8 it brings home to its the reality of things that 

 we before knew only from hearsay or from books, 

 helps UB greatly to form a just estimate ot the most 

 oomplicated, comprehensive and important obj.'cts. 

 When I saw, duriug a heavy soa, the whole crew 

 like the well trained members of one athletic man 



LITERARY PIRACY. 



Upon the first appearance of "Akenside's 

 Pleasures of Imasination," the author's name not 

 bein- prefixed, a Mr Rolt, author of a "Diction- 

 ary of Trade and Commerce," had the impudence 

 to go over to Dublin, publish an edition, and put 

 his^iame to it. Upon the tame of this he lived 

 several months, being entertained at the best ta- 

 bles as the "ingenious Mr Rolt." Akenside at 

 Ien.'tli, detecte.l the fraud, and ymdicated his 

 right, by i-ublishing the poem with the real au- 

 thor's name. . 



Dr Campbdl, of St Andrews, wrote a treatise 

 on the Autlicnticity of the Gospel History, and 

 sent the manuscript to his friend and cotmtryman, 

 a Mr Innes, a clergyman in England The latter 

 pubrishe<l it with iiis own name, and before he 

 ; imposition was discovered, obtained considerable 

 promotion as a reward of merit. 



Dr Hugh Blair, and Mr Ballantine, a triend of 

 his, when students of divinity, wrote a poem, en- 

 titled, "Redemption," copies of which, m Manu- 

 script, were handed about. They were at length 

 surprised to see a pompous edition in folio, dedi- 

 cated to tlie Queen, hy a Dr Dandier, as his own.

Duelling at New Orleans.- A correspon- 

 dent of the Baltimore Patriot at New Orleans de- 

 scribes a state of society existing there of which 

 we had no idea, and in charity must believe the 

 statement in some measure exaggerated, llie 

 rage for duelling is at such a pitch that a jest or 

 sinart repartee is suftieient excuse for u challenge, 

 in which powder and balls are the arguments. 

 The Court of Honor has proved nnsitccessltil m 

 its .operation, and no person, it is said, has yet 

 dared to stem the current of popular opinion. 

 The accunicy of the Creoles with the pistol is 

 .aid to he astonishing, and no youngster springing 

 into life, is considerc.1 entitled to the cla.ms of 

 manhood, until made the mark of an adversary s 

 pistol. In their shooting galleries, the test ot 

 their aims is by firing at a button at 10 or 12 

 paces' distant, suspended by a wire, which, wdien 

 struck, touches a spring that disc oscs a fla.i;. 

 There are but few who miss more than once in 

 three times. An api^.intment for a duel is talke.l 

 of with the nonchalance of an invitation to a din- 

 ner or supper pnity. — .V. Y. £tar.
