ORIGINAL POETRY.

THE WITHERED LEAF.

Lone, and cheerless, here I found thee On the bough that gave thee birth, Thy companions all, have left thee To recline upon the earth.

Here though storms and winds assail thee,

Torn and tattered, as thou art; Tempests rude cannot persuade thee, From thy parent stem to part.

Emblematic of true friendship, Thou hast proved thyself to be, Clinging through the blasts of Autumn, To thy dear parental tree.

Could I find one friend as faithful, Gain one heart as true as thine; Think you, that I should be slothful, To exchange that heart for mine?

No, a gem so rare and costly, Would my best affections claim; And tho' other hearts forsake thee, Mine thro' life should prove the same. North Danvers. H.

For the Eagle.

Mr. Damon- dear sir-I am requested to write

A few lines for the Eagle as rapid as sight, For your paper I'm told is near ready for press,

And bul a moment there is to write my ad- dress.

But on what shall I write, or what shall I yet to be drawn-the lots that were to de- say,

For the short time I have is fast passing a- way;

If you'll give me a subject to work I will hie,

And the pen which I hold like lightning shall fly.

'Tis the hardest for me a good subject to find,

That will suit every way my fantastic mind. But suppose I should write without any point,

Perhaps then my verse would not come to a joint;

And then all the grub-street critics would try

To blow my disjointed production sky-high. For you know it is common in these palmy days,

For newspaper critics to censure or praise. Whatever a wise man or fool may indite, As their virtues may be insipid or bright.

composed that group. One advanced, and drew her ticket; it was against her, and she retreated sobbing. Another; she succeed- And may be 'tis well, that critics there ed, and, giving a loud huzza, ran off to th should be,

To stave off the scum and filth of humanity, But let them beware while others they wale.

"That the critics themselves write nothing that's stale;

great,"

They surely will meet with a similar fate. Now since I have wrote so erratic and looked upon it, and, with a deep groan fell wild,

As quite disconnected as that of a child, I might as well finish as I have begun, And let the whole end in nonsense and fun. For your readers will see that in the short time,

Allotted to me to prepare this my rhyme I could not of course my thoughts well di- gest,

Or I should have given them one of my best. But let them be patient and keep in their thunder;

And in a short time I'll give them a stunder. AMOS THE 4TH.

THE SOLDIER'S WIFE. B. S. C. HALL.

It is now many years since the first bat- 'Oh, captain,' sobbed the young woman, 'as you are both a husband and a father, do not take him from me!

For to make a good match, we have brim- stone and wood.

About twelve months since, as two boys were watching the sheep confided to their charge, upon a wide heath in the county of Somerset, their attention was attracted by a soldier, who walked along apparently with much fatigue, and at length stopped to rest his weary limbs beside the old finger post, which at one time pointed out the way to the neighboring villages, but which now af- forded no information to the traveller; for age had rendered it useless.

The boys were gazing upon him with much curiosity, when he beckoned them towards him, and enquired the way to the village of Eldenby.

'Sir,' said the boy, 'my father was a sol- dier many years ago, and he dearly loves to look upon a red coat. If you come with me you may be sure of a welcome.'

'And you can tell us stories about for- eign parts,' said the younger lad, a fine, chubby cheeked fellow, who, with his watch

Without noticing what passed else- where, I confided my attention to that com- pany which was commanded by my friend Captain Loder, a brave and excellent offi -. cer, who, I am sure, has no more than my- self forgotten the scene to which I refer.

The women had gathered round the flag- sergeant, who held the lots in his cap -- ten of them are marked 'To go.'-and all the others containing the fatal words 'To re- main.' It was a moment of dreadful sus- pense; and never have I seen the extreme of anxiety so powerfully depicted in the countenances of human beings as in the

'Oh, bless him forever! said the wife; 'bless him with prosperity and a hap- paleness on her interesting and youthful countenance.

back and fainted. So intense was the anx- iety of every person present, that she re- mained unnoticed until all the tickets had been drawn, and the greater number of wo- men had left the spot. I then looked round, and beheld her supported by her husband, who was kneeling upon the ground, gazing upon her face, and drying her fast falling tears with his coarse handkerchief, and now and then pressing it to his own manly cheek.

Captain Loder advanced towards them. 'I am sorry, Henry Jenkins,' said he, 'that fate has been against you; but bear up, and be stout-hearted.'

'I am so, captain,' said the soldier, as he looked up, and passed his rough hand across his face; 'but 'tis a hard thing to part from a wife, and she so soon to be a mother.'

It was scarcely daybreak when the mer- ry drum and fife were heard over all parts of the town, and the soldiers were seen sal- lying forth from their quarters, to join the ranks with their bright firelocks on their shoulders, and the knapsacks and canteens
