ORIGINAL POETRY.

THE POET AND HIS ALTARS. Natures Interpreter! he ever stands With constant peal before ber gorgeous shrine, Laying thereon with filial, rev'rent hands, The grateful offering of his soul divine, Embodied in the glowing, rapturous song, Painting the countless charms that to her face belong.

Sometimes, as Byron, 'mid ancestral halls Of lordly Pride, and high historic Fame, The voice of Invocation, wildly calls From out a brilliant, but eratic flame, That upward mounting, mingles with the gleam Which from the lightning's path o'er heaven's wide realm doth stream.

Sometimes enkindled 'neath the cottage roof, With peasant Burns; to feed it, and preside It spurs Fate's narrow bounds, and soars aloof, O'er many a clime and kingdom, tar and wide, And sons of Joy and Sorrow hail that light, That from their hearts can chase, sad Melancholy's light.

On lonely mountain peaks, some Alters stand, Nearest the source, whence Inspiration springs; Then is the lofty verse, sublime and graud, And like the trumpet calls to battle, rings, Sounding 'mong cliffs, and through the troubled air, Rousing the eagle gray, from his invaded lair.

In lowly vale, half lost among the flowers, It hideth modestly ; and woodland note, Blent with the bees low chant from honeyed bowers, Entrancingly upon the air doth float- Breaking the bonds that earthly cares have twined In many a complex fold, about our darkened mind.

Far on the waters, swelling with the wail Of stormy winds, the varying strain is heard- In the lone forest, whispering a tale, At which the countless, listening leaves are stirred, And shake and tremble in the passing breeze, As though affright or joy, did sudden on them seize.

And whereso'er the votive hymns ascend, By mountain, stream, or forest, or sea-shore, They have one great and universal end- "Erer unfolding Nature's wondrous lore'; Nature exhaustless, whose dominion vast, .Shall give the Poet theme, while circling time shall last.

In question, if there is hardly a place in the world, where new ideas and theories are so favorably received, as in our vil- lage. In fact, we almest merit the charac- ter which that nice old single gentleman in the good book, gave of the ancient Atheni- ans :- i. e. 'ever seeking out some new thing.' This spirit has of course affected us, though insensibly perhaps-and one, if he takes the trouble, will observe a spir- it of freedom shown towards each other, and a certain regard for their opinions, which, perhaps, does not exist so much in many places.

Our village, 'Lang Syne,' was at one time much interested in Gra- hamism,-yet I do not see but the market men and butchers thrive as much as ever. Some, however, were quite swallowed up with the Graham Theory, for a time Among whom were Dr. Calomel -Dr. Sen- na-some Mr. B's .- Sunday Miss's -- Mr. P .- Dea.

Mrs. Homing thought preserved fruits might be added, and pound and sponge cake always provided, a specific quantity only was eaten. As for fluids, some Graham was lauded to the skies, and those who were suspected of entertaining thought pure Old Hyson was harmless, a desire for fleshly food, were looked upon others dreamed over a cup of lucious Mo- as ra-al bad people.

A vegetable diet was recommended, and a frugiferous one allowed to be the acme, the very ne plus ultra of pure and perfect living: Well, just at this time, as the ma- nia was at its height, lo! as if sent, (wheth- day came, the feast intellectual, was great;

Dr. Senna's example was contagious;the embodiment left fer other climes, and the wise ones of our village again resumed their ordinary manner of life. Though Mrs. Homing still insists on inviting her literary friends to partake of Dr. Senna's frugider- ous preparations; and though with urbanity and politeness peculiar to himself he suffers it, he often thinks with a sigh of those boil- ed plppins and accompaniments.

STYLE. Very much depends upon style, A young gentleman, having occasion to ask a lady for the snuffers across the table, ad- dressed her in the following very emphatic. strain :-

Well, Dr. Senna, the untiring, undefatigable Dr. Senna, after hours of hard labor, had pro- vided a bill of fare for each palate.

Of all the new and wonderful things which he had treasured up for the Johnathans to swallow, Dr. Calomel was omnipresent at their hotel, drinking in knowledge-and Dr. Senna called often, though of the two, being most employed in professional duties, this may account for his not being in attendance so constantly: The individual embodiment lectured, and our villagers gave sourie con- versational, that he might dissemminate far and wide his wisdom and precepts; but diet held the supremacy in the minds of all and Dr. Senna first gave them ' proof occular, of his idea of right in this matter, and though 'twas mid winter, and fruits of our cold climate scarce, yet with praiseworthy efforts he succeededto a minute.

THE NEW RAIL ROAD.

In every nook and corner where people congregate to talk over the affairs of the let that be as its a mineter-ide just tel that day- in every store, counting-room or workshop, nothing is thought of or talked of, but the new Rail Road from Salem to Boston, through Danvers, Lynn, Saugus and Malden. And it is not spoken of as a mere idle speculation. It is talked of with a determination to act. According to the prevailing opinion of capitalists, nothing is now wanting to secure this project, but an affirmative nod from the Legislature, or in other words, a charter. We have from the commencement, thought favorably of this ile hogsits, jumpin over forty pair trucks, new road, for similar reasons to those which have been published in various newspapers of late.

It is useless to allude to the advantages this and other towns would derive from it over the Eastern Rail Road. Every one knows that a gentleman for a Conductor is preferable to a brute. And all know, too, that although Boston harbor is pleasant in the summer season, it is hard to be compel- led in winter te take a view of it for an hour or so at a time, not knowing whether his baggage, or even he himself is safe.

We are not so self conceited but that we can be made to believe that the following communication concerning this subject will be far more acceptable to our readers, than anything we can write, notwithstanding, the, writer seems never to have swallowed a Spelin Book, Dirionary, or Grammer.

The communication below, was handed in on Friday night of last week, just as our paper was going to press, and we were compelled to postpone it to this week: And although it may seem to some, rather out of season, an attentive perusal will con- vince them that it is pretty well seasoned.
