America baa lotg and anxiously been looking Tor its poe and a each new aspirant to fame baa arises before the public, his efforts have been scanned with ibe aeTeresi eye and the closest criticism, tiis defects seized opon.UiineTKeifhehave any, thrown aside and forgotten to the diaappolnt. pent of not finding a Milton or Shakespeare. He mast be entirely original say they- the jadges. His themes vast, novel and nr'An8Abis thoughts solemn and grand a his lark forests his Terse as roll, rich and sonorou aa the flow of bis nighty rivers. These unbounded expectations hare done moch touppresa the fire of genius in the breast of our timid, world fearing Americans; and while yet a few pages are glowing with the modest and softly effusions of a youthful fancy, a shower of cold water from some unfeeling reviewer deadens the spark, quenches the amoking flax which might have grown into a brilliant flame.

Some bolder minds have, however, walked bravely in the face of all criticism, and thrown into the very teeth of the reviewer, immor-tal verses aye, immortal. When will ever pass from (he pages of literature or be blotted from the minds of the appreckters of true poetry From the hearts of those Who in the love of nature, hold Communion with her visible forma." It has been said, and truly said we believe, that more fugitive, floating poetry of real merit exists in American Literature, than in any other. We have PereivaJ, whose quiet depth and pensiveness brings to mind Wordsworth Dana reminding ns Coleridge Pierpont at once playful and fanci-fal, again melting with tenderness and aadness FHi Green HaDeek, in his finest pieces recalling Campbell, and a host of others; Mrs. Welby whose verses remind us often of Tom Moore's melodies, and Fanny Osgood, singing merry little tongs, full of sunshine and gladness. But above all these, we would place Longfel low the Poet of America.

Our country ia in its infancy yet Life haa been smooth and unruffled and its years have glided calmly on per haps when centuries have passed and cities are built and forgotten when discord and calamity brood over the land, when every hearth stone is ttimed with Wood perhaps, then, a poet, grand and inaccessible in his majesty, will arise a bard sublime" the true and lasting poet of America whose fbotseps ever shall echo through the corridors of Time." In the darkest night of national woes, the brightest stars of Literature have al ways arisen as if to cheer the gloom of the political world by the -brilliant radiance in the world of genius. Longfellow's distinguishing characteristic, and what gives his verses their peculiar charm, is his deep earnestness. He is not a philosophical poet, analysing every thought, motive and emotion, but addresses himself to the affections and experience of man, thereby striking a chord which vibrates' in every breast. In every line, Mr. Long fellow shows himself a man and this warm life-feeling is his inspiration.

His genius is altogether lyrical his style suiting neither the sternness of the epic, nor the brilliancy oi the drama. Host of his pieces are short, yet all bearing in them the same earnestness and life warm humanity. Passing over the," Psalm of Life," "Excelsior," the. Blacksmith," and the old clock on As, at the tramp of a horse's hoof, on tbe turf of uc praines, Fsr in advance are closed the leaves of tbe shrinking mimosa. So, at the hoof-bea's of fane, with sad forebodings orevi, Shrinks and closes the heart, ere the stroke of doom has attained it." It is difficult to choose quotations from a poem where every verse teems with luxuriant beauty where every line is fragrant with the 'richest flow-ers.

We give only one more, the closing -Still stands the forest primevsJbut under tbe snaues oi its Branches Dwells another race, with other customs and language. Only along the shore of the mournful and misty Atlantic, Linger a few Acadian peasants; whose fathers from exile, Wandered back to their native land to die ia it bosom. In the fisherman's cot the wheel and the loom are still busy Maidens still wear their Norman caps and their kirtles of homespun, And by the evening fire repeat Evangeline's story, While from its rocky caverns the deep-voiced neighboring ocesn, Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest." MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISING. Advertising for wives, though it may be a very convenient method for procuring such an essential, is still attended with much danger, from the total ignorance that the parties have usually of each other's previous life, and the opportunity it affords for a spurious and plausible person to impose upon the credulity which the respondent to such an advertisement must necessarily possess. The following is an instance as given in the Greens port Republican of the 29th ultimo.

An affair, somewhat novel aod exciting, took place in the village of Cutchogue, a few davs since. It appears that Joseph Baker, of that place, and late of Greensport, went to New York a few weeks ago for the purpose of obtaining a wife. His first move was to publish a notice in a New York paper, stating that a young widow, er, about twenty-five years of age, having one child, and a farm at a short dis ance ia the country, wished to enter a second time iuto the matrimonial state with some respectable lady of about bis own see. This note attracted the attention of a young girl in the city, aged some eighteen or nine een years, by the name of se Craig, who soon responded to Joseph's notice. This was fol owed by an interview between the parties.

According to the account which the girl gave at Cutchogue, Mr. Baker represented himself to her to be a gentleman of character and respectability in the community where he lived that he had a house pleasantly situated, and all the necessary improvements and appurtenances; that he kept cows snd other stock, together with a horse, car riage. After a negotiation of a number of days a matrimonial engagement was entered into which was finally consummated in due form, by a clergyman of the city, on Saturday morning last. After the marriage ceremony was solemnized the parties, accompanied by the mother of the bride, immediately left the city, and took the accommodation train to visit the splendid establish mebt of Mr. Joseph Baker, at Cutchogue on L.

with high hopes and pleasing anticipations, no doubt. On arriving at Mr. Baker's handsome country residence, behold it was not there. Nothing but a little shanty, situsted in a lonesome out of the way place, with every indication of indolence and poverty, instead of a neat, com fortable dwe ling, presented itself to tbe astonished stranger. The poor girl and her mother, after taking a fair view of the premises, and discovering i he imposition, and the manner in which the daughter bad been duped, overwhelmed with disappointment, mortification and disgust, at once decided to return to the city.

They found a friendly shelter at the house of Mr.Halleck, at no great distance, and after making proper inquiries respecting tbe character, habits, aod circumstances of the said Joseph Baker, as ihev were understood in that communi'y, they declared that the marriage had been brought about by false pretences, misrepresentation and hypocrisy. A lawyer aod justice were soon called in to untie tbe knot which had so recently, and so imprudent and foolishly on the part of the girl, been formed by the parties. Writings were duly executed, by which the young lady relinquished all claim and right of dower to any property which the said Joseph Baker might have, with a consent on his pan that tbe marriage contract, to a I intents and purposes, might be dissolved. The mother and daughter took the cars on Monday, and returned to the city." "Picxid Ur.M The Home Journal of Saturday last copies from tbe New York Evangelist a 'etter written by tbe Rev. Samuel H.

Cox, DD- dated Jan. 4th, 1851, in which he gives a treasure to the world in the shape of six lines of original poetry, which he says were writ en by Jenny Lind on the leaf of an album, in which he afterwards wrote. The lines were extensive'y copied as of veritable Lind Manufacture by the press, and ran thus In vain I seek for rest In all created good It leaves me still noblest, And makes me cry for God And sure at rest I cannot be Until my heart find rest in thee Tbe windy doctor who should write A. S. S.

after bis name as well as after asserting their undoubted originality, goes on Pleased with these lines, I copied them by permission; and finding them suitable, I quoted them last Lord's day. Tbe result was that many remembered and rehearsed and wrote them eaeh in a peculiar way and hence I resolved to publish them as in this communication." Now this is rich the lines were copied by Miss Lind from an old Engbsh hymn book, and this egotistical gentleman gives them to the world as original and cack es like a hen over the discov ery. Poor Jenny! what Between JBarnum and Cox, she has a hard time of it- Not satisfied with tbe letter, he appends tbe following to the poetry "We add, that if adulation or wealth could satisfy Jenny Lind, she need not cry for God at a It is grate and communion with God by faith in his dear son. Jesus Christ, that keeps her steady and upright, sober, conscientious and honorable, where others would become intoxicated with vanity, and explode in ha Won't somebody turn off the Cax and thus prevent this terrible explosion Day Book. i The fo'lowing extract of a letter from a gentleman in Sumpter District South Carolina, to tbe Southern Patriot, presents in bold relief tbe true state of things in that State "The position of our State is peculiar.

She has been driven to thst position by an oligarchy as bold and reckless, considering the intelligence of ourpeopJe, as ever existed in any age or country. They claim to be the State. They orsurp the prerogatives of the people some dozes of them manufacture, at courthouses and cross-roads, what they call public opinion and their papers pub ish it and circulate it ss such. They undertake to pledge tbe State to a certain course of action) and to squander her means without consulting toe people, snd in contempt of them. Tbro' their public presses they falsify fact, mislead and deceive their constituents.

How long will tbe people suffer their rights to be thus invaded, their opinions defied and their ldterests jeop tried?" Should tbe Governor of Maryland offer $19,000, the amount of Chaplin's forfeited bail, as a reward for his arrest, he will be certainly taken. There not one abolitionist in a thousand who, for half that amount, would not eagerly connive at the capture of the high priest of his faith. e-iufeasrxHBorro ruu, A.pni ta, icvu rt a hnrt jr Wrxatis It bath pleased Almighty od, hi the accomplishment of his wise and bnfri purpo see, to remove from i career of teefblnesr and honorable distinction, tbe late Hon.

Augustus Moore, whom it has always recognized as a conspicioos proof; of tbe correctness of thesprinciples it cherishes. JZeselied, That whilst we bow with reverent submission to this manifestation of the Divine Will, we cannot bul deeply deplore the unexpected removal of so eminent a citisen of tbe State, and sxr valuable a member of tbe Society. Raobed, That ia all the relations of lite, tbe deceased has so borne himself, as acquire the highest esteem, aod admiration of all good men, and has left a bright example of the nappy union of talent and industry with the most unswerving integrity. Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the bereaved fami of tbe deceased, thus deprived at one blow of an affectionate husband, a kind and gentle father and an estimsb friend. Retolvtl, Thst in token tbe sense of the great loss we have sustained, we will wear the u-sual badge of mourning for thirty days.

The peculiar measure, Gn other hands it would hare been uncouth) prejudices one against it when the book is first opened, but whoever reads a page of the mournful story of love, will go on bewitched, enchant ed. The strange measure wll be forgotten in the rare, quaint diction the vivid descriptions of scenery in Acadie and the warm hearted, hospitable inhabitants and the pure, soft, melancholy love of Evangeline and Gabriel. In truth there seems a charm than natural, a magic, weird charm in the long lines. Thus the Poem commences "This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hem'ocks, Bearded with moss, and in garments green indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic Stand like harpers boar, with beards that rest on their bosoms.

Loud lrom its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean Speaks, and in accents disconsolate, answers the wail of the forest? Ye who be'ieve in affection that hopes and endures and is patient, Ye who believe in the beauty and strength of woman devotion, List to the mournful tradition still sung by the pines of the forest List to a Tale of Love in Acadie, home of the happy." The story is one of those unfeeling acts of cruelty and tyranny, which too often mark the history of English Colonization. In a fruitful valley lay ibe pleasant village of Grand Pre. Its greatest men were Basil, the blacksmith, and Benedict Bellefontaine. Benedict's daughter, the gentle maiden Evangeline, was betrothed to Gabriel, the blacksmith's son. They all lived peacefully happily, and the sun ne'er shone on lovelier spot than the village of Grand Pre, nor the moon beamed on fairer maiden than Evangeline.

One morning the-whHe sails of three ships were seen flapping in the wind they were the King's ships, and tore the colonists away from their home wherefore none knew. Evangeline and Gabriel were separated long did the faithful maiden search for her kver, wearily and way-worn, and found him after many years when both were old found him but to see him die. The second part is too drearily sad, (he heart grows faint and sickens with so much grief, and we long for the happy pictures in Acadie. Nothing ran surpass the vividness of some of the (arm yard scenes we extract Late, with the rising morn, returned the waint ftotn the marshes, Laden with briny hay, that filled the sir with its odor, Cheerily neighed the steeds, with dew on their manes and fetlocks, While aloft on their shoulders the wooden and ponderous saddles, Painted with brilliant dyes, and adorned with tassels of crimson. Nodded in bright array, like hoi hocks heavy with blossoms.

Patiently stood the cows, meanwhi'e, and yielded their odders, Unto the mi maid's band whilst loud and in regular cadence, Into the sounding pails the foaming stream leu descended; Lowing of catt snd peals of laughter were heard in the farm yard. Echoed back by the barns. Anon they sank into stillness Heavily closed, with a jarring, the valves of tbe barn-doors, Rattled the wooden bars, and all for a season was suent.".
