TUB IRON HORSE.
There were noble steeds in the days of old,
Tdej were fierce in battle, in dinger bold ;
Tbey clanked in armour, and shone in gold.
And ihev bore their riders with lofty pride ;
Sal 1 he Ira" Hore, there were none like hitn !
He hirl-i you along till your eye is dim,
T ill your brain is crazed, and your senses swim
With the dizzy landscape on cither side.
He springs away with a sadden bound.
His hf unshodden, spurns the ground,
Hi nostril dashes lis foam around.
Like the tirst faint clouds of a thunder shower;
And stated moment he ever hath,
When he rushes forth n his iron palh,
Ad w t" Im should rouse hi wrath,
Jly curbing bim in, beyond the hour !
While pther r teeds must be chtmping hay.
Must repose by night, and fed by day.
Let tne Iron Horse have his way,
And he aeksfor no more than bis fire and water.
He wears no bridle, nor curbing chain.
He brocks no spur, and he needs no rein ;
On'r set him forth on the open plain.
And he'll be the last horse to weary or loiter !
All seasons and Units he will fearless brave.
Whether hot shines the sun, or the north winds
rave;
He fl es o'er the eanh. and he rides the ware.
Like a shadowy cloud o'er the harvest 6eli!s ;
He neighs aloud, as he (Ushes by.
And the fire sparks fl isb from his gleaming eye,
'And the va'cs resound, and the hiUs ref ly,
To the rapid rush of the fliehinj wheels.
Hisbreaib is hot as the siroc'a blast,
As it hisses for:h through his iron teeth,
And it roi's op s!ov, when he hurries pas5',
L'ke the mornin? nvst, in a snowy wreath.
And you'd bener stand in the vn ot war,
Where the voliied death shots fly free and far,
And thousands Ml, ere tne Right is o'er.
Than to cross the oath that he flies upon.
Whenever the hurled aud loud-rattling car,
Like a thunder gust, conies rolling on !
On our mountain ridges his chariots gleam.
He follows the irark of the winding stream ;
H carries us forth from our early liomeat
To the fairv scenes of the glowing West.
Where the Fathrrof Waters in grandeur roams, j
Through broad savannas in verdure drest
Ay ! away ! wiih his ceaseless roar.
The valley and stream he will hasten o'er j
Away ! away ! where the prairie lies,
Like an emerald sea, 'neath the fair blue skies.
With narg'it in view save the waving grass.
The flowers that bend as bis chariots pass,
And in black and fearful host afar.
The countless herds of the bufftloe, -
Tbt start at the gleam of his shining ear,
With a speed that no foot of the deer can fass.
j
Tne pnirie-horses shall toss the mane, j
Teir the ground w:th their boot's and neigh ,
aloud, I
When this strangersteed, o'er their free domain,
Comes rushing on like a flying cloud ;
Bat he heeds them not as he onward speeds,
With a tread as loud as a thousand steeds.
A sciind shall be heard through the mountain
caves,
A sound through the gloom of the pathless glen
Lke the hollow murmur rebreaking wves.
Or the measured trampling of mad clad men ;
'Tis the Iron Horse ; he hath passed the bound
Ofihc wild sierras that fenced him round ;
He hath no more on the land to gain.
His path is free to the western main !
MISCELLANEOUS.
From the North American Farmer.
FLORICULTURE.
"Every gift is valuable ami ought to be
Unfolded. When one encourages the beau
tiful jlone, and another encourages the useful-arts
alone, it tekes both of them lo form
a man. The useful encourages itself, for the
multitude produce it, and no one can dis
pense wjth it ; the beautiful must be encour
aged ; for few can set it forth, ami need it."
Goethe Wilhem Meisier.
Never was there a truer aphorism uttered
than we have just quoted from the great Ger
man poet, and never, we may add, was an
evident truth more universally neglected.
It is unnecessary to enter into an elaborate
argument to prove it the evidence of a
man's own interior feelings is sufficient.
Unfortunately, bowefer, in no age have the
mass of men been accustomed to smdy with
care the emotions of their own minds. The
' present day, rtfe as it is with countless ex
traneous subjects of interest, buried perpet
ually in the direct conquest of external mat
ters, is perhaps of all others the least given
to quiet meditation. . Absorbed in its mate
vial pursuits, blinded by short sighted util
itarianisms, it is too prone to regard the beau
-Wul as a thing of little worth, and the love
of ft a weakucss which interferes with ster
ner demand of this wotkaday worlds"
Such a iiinsy structure of unfounded opin
ions does not need to bo attacked by argu
ments a few simple suggestions will re
veal its weakuess. And, first we5: may say,
'Hat reading the mind of the great Creator of
II things in that glorious volume of exter
nal nature which lie has unrolled to our vis
ion, we find a totally opposite estimate set
upon beauty. He has bathed His universe
19 beauty, and it drips with the luscious bur
den, as' a rose witb the morning dew.
Wherever we turn our eyes in that cui.hcdral
f the world, as it has been happily termed,
see abundant illustrations of the truth of
ur propositions. Whether we look at' the
fWtous dome of the sky lighted by the sun,
fretted with fantastic- clouds, "or thick in.
'id with patines of bright gold,", with its
gorgeous ova! windows of the fast and Vest
lined with matchless colors, and drsped
'ih the most brilliant cloud-cuttains, or at
he massive columns of the mountains, or the
"dim aisles" of the woods, we find beauty
Pervading the whole, and so blending with
Ulhtv , that it is djfiicuK to tell which baa
tlie
greatest prominence.
The tints which
4re spread over all nature, the deep transpa
rent blue of the clear heavens fading to a
"miner color along the horizon, the huea of
-iouus varying from the heaviest black lo
"'etuost dazzling white, the rich and varied
I'een of vegetation, the faint, hazy, aerial,
rrple of distant hilU, the sober complexion
0. rock, the bright warm tone of earth, and
broken ground aud sea beacb, furnrsh ad
ditional conBrtnaion-of what has been ad
vanced. Of no avail will it be to the utilita
rian to argue thathose things have their use
that the eye demands for its healthy action
those shades of color on which it js accus
tomed to rest. For, it may be replied; that
theory does not account for ihe.grace of form,
the elegance of outline which has been bes
towed upon natural objects. We find that
the Omnipotent Author of all has been care
ful to give the greatest possible elegance of
shape to the objects around us. To enu
merate would be endless; suffice it to bint
at the limbs ol animals; the leaves of trees,
and the lineaments of man. Still less will
this view of the matter atlagt itself to those
wonders of beauty that seelh to lurk out of
sight of man. The crystal, imprisoned in
the cavity of a rugged rock, is as accurately
bevelled, and as brilliantly polished, as
though, like the carbuncles of eastern fable,
it were placed upon a bill for the illumina
tion of a people. The flower that shoots up up
on the unknown soil of some desolate island,
is as rich in odor, as graceful in form, as
delicate in tint, as that which folds its
petals in the garden of a prince, shelttred
lest the winds of heaven visit its lace too
roughly." Even each tiny alom of dust up
on a butterfly's wing, is shaped into an ele
gant form, and delicately shaded with fine
grooved line?, which are crossed by others
still lighter, so that the effect produced bv
examining it with a microscope, that would
make a thread of cambric look larger than a
caoie oi a seventy-lour, is mat ol the finest
steel engraving. Now it may be asked, it j
there be not some divine and immortal ex- I
cellence in beaulv, why did the All-Wise i
(we speak it reverently) take uch pains to
diffuse it throuol, his works? !
- y
Our next stJcstion is, t lint the most ca
sual observation of mankind nrovrs 111. it a
I perception of beauty, and a delight in it, is
I universal. It is impossible to imagine a
! man with his bodily senses pt rfert, who shall
j not possess some love for the beautiful
The rudest tribes carve their clubs in gr.ice
5 ful figures, arrange teeth ir shell, or leuth
j ers, bs ornaments of their persons, and e.-
Inbit some sense of the glories of humiP na
I lure. The infant craves and claps its hands
i at the sight of a brilliant light or a g-.udy co
j lor. The idiot gazes with fixt-d stare on the
face of a beautiful woman. All men in fact
perceive and love the beautiful. That thev
j do so in different degrees is not to bo won
I dered at, and constituJTu objection to the
j position assumed. 1
j If, then, we find thW-benutiful existing in
nature, and the appreciation of it in tli
minds of men, how can we refuse to cu'ti-
vale those faculties which enable us to per
ceive them.
We had intended to show that a keen
perception and ardent love of the beautiful j
have a powerful influence in softening the
heart and a:iielioia;ing the inanoers, but our
article would be Ux long, and beside s we ;
took up our pen with a design to sav some-
thing about flower?, and we must no longer
detain our readers with these speculations.
Ol all tiic various modi s of culiivaiing a
taste for beauty, the easiest and readiest is
the primitive occupation ol floriculture. It
matters not how or where one may he situa
ted, there is always time and room to take
care of a flower or two. A girrel in a citv,
j with a view of nothing but roofs and chiin
1 neysj can yet afford a ledge for a flower pot,
and the presence of the simplest plant gives
' an elegance and cheerfulness to the humblest
: apartment. Lut on tries';, and many ol cir 1
readers must be among tl.em, who hive am
ple space, opportunity, leisure for thoir cul
tivation, it is almost incumbent that they
should pay attention to this healthful and
rlfgant art. Upon the ladies wc would par
ticularly urge it, for it is altogether consis
tent with the refinement and gentlenrss of
tastes and hibitg. 'J'he usual excuse we
find to be, 'Oh, I dearly love flowers, but as
to cultivating llirm that is too much trouble,
for so small a sum 1 can buy as many as 1
want.' True, you may, but trust us when
we assure you, that the richest bouquet of
pampered exotics you ever received did not
give vou balf the satisfaction voti will feel !
when twining your tresses with buds of your
own raising, which you have watched from
the first unlapping leaf to full blown matu
rity. Most happy should we feel if we could
excite in vou a desire to experience this,
and.nfu ure, lend you ass.stancc ,n jour andh(lTi Dg procure1asufficicnt number of com-i-tTorw.
Our own passionate love vt llowcr.s, .a;.tnnr ;.r nrnnrcd to execute in the most
these jewels of nature, we wou'd impart to
you, for it has been to us "its own exceed
ing great reward."

IFrom the Ojera of the " tiro SUIT-ors.'
Translated on Fayelteville Street.
I dreamed that her favoring glances fell
On a well dres-ed Beau at her side.
And I rould'nt tell why the laughing Belle,
Had refused to become my bride.
But a single g'nuce at my rival's Coat,
Told me 1 here lay t lie strength of Ihe game ;
And I said if the Tailor's in Town who can doit.
I'd have one exactly ihe s:nnc.
Then I dreamed 1 hat 1 searched the Town all o'er,
For the gem that would win her heart.
Till I found myself standing in front af the Store
Where clothing is fashioned by art;
And then I remembered that this was the place
Where the Coal of my rival was made,
And enterinc in, right befors my face.
Lay Broad-Cloth, exactly the shade.
The Coat was sent home, and like Cxsar I sped,
I came, and I saw, and I won
For she smilingly said, when I asked her to wed,
What an elegant Coal you have on "
Three days from thai time, perhaps it was mote,
I induced her to alter her name ;
And I still buy my Coars at ihe very same Store,
And she loves rue as ever the same.
