i THE
Columbian Magazine,
FOR 1843.
PROSPECTtrs for the Second YfJAK.
At thr rlosp nf his second volume, the
magazine having been commenced on the
first of January, 1844, the publisher finds
himself Irresistibly called on to express ihe
satisfaction and gratitude with which he
has been filled by the brilliant and une x
ampled success that has attended his endea
vors to win the, public favor. Ndtwi h
standing the difficulties, disappolntme its
and vexations that almost invariably fol
low the-establishment of a new periodical,
in the production of which there mu.t be
the harmonious cooperation off many
heads and. many hands notwhhstand
occasionally short-comings, especially
the pictorial department, which no care
diligence could avert atltl no expenditure
prevent, the Columbian Magazine has g6ne
on steadily lncieasmg in support and pop
ularity from the opening number, anu
the unbougbt unsolicileii testimony of
press may be received as unswayed
partiality and unbiassed by friendship.

could be no impossibility of success with
sufficient capital, perseverance and Lhe
right system of management both by pub

the result of the firsts year has proved that
his judgment was correct.

THE HERO OF THE HERMlf AfJK.
BY J. A. ST.EWJL.RTl
In the Hermitage lingers the patriot arid
sage
Whose achieVeness have crowned Us
with gi'ory;
His face is deep-marked with the furrows
of age,
And his head for the grave blossortis
hoary: -He's
awaiting a summons to mansions o(
bliss,
Yet happy with propeCts around him:
He is willing to go yet is happy in 'bisj
Where a,halo ol glory surrounds hlttii
He has fought for his country, its freedom
and laws,
Was valiant in Beldsj fresh and gdry
And has lived to behold his loved country
and cause
Established in permanent gloryi
But ere long wU his spirit be waf ied above
And mingled with those gone before
him, '
And his coise shall be burled neath tokens
of love,
And the tears of affection shed -o'er" him.-
In the gloom of debpair-in the blacknes.s
of night,
Lie his enemies prostrate droiind liihij
Whilst he in his glory effulgent arrd bright
Is released from the cart s which have
bound him;
Pile is fiee from the care? of political s! rife-
See's the briirht star of freedom ascend
ing
And with uleasure remembers hl prrill'd
his life, .
The caUse of his "country defending.
The cause he espoused in hs earliest youth,
Is the star which has led him to glory,
H'Was the cause of. his country of justice
atnd truth;
And his name shall illuminate dur Stdry;
Bui ye demons incarnate whose hopes are
all crushed,
And whose prospects aire blighted for
ever, Your vile tongues are "palsied,- your gland
ers are hushed,
And the Hero shines brighter than ever
